After seeing the surviving 60 over soldiers of the 9th Company, they were shocked.
In fact, Geng Zhan had a thought that had been lingering in his mind.
This idea was a little crazy, but it was not impossible.
Once they succeeded, not only would the Independent Regiment be able to hold their heads high, but not only would the brigade commander, even the division commander might have to personally call to reward them.
Zhang Guowei was confused by Geng Zhan's mysterious words.
He frowned and took a puff of his cigarette. He leaned closer and asked,
"Brother, what's the matter? Why are you being so mysterious?”
Geng Zhan whispered into his ear,"
"Attack the county!"
At this time, Zhang Guowei's cigarette was still in his lungs.
Hearing these three words, Zhang Guowei's eyes immediately widened. He choked in his throat and couldn't stop coughing violently.
After a long while, he finally recovered. He looked at Geng Zhan, panting, and complained,"
"I say, brother, you don't have to be so scary! With just our two companies and a hundred men, we're going to attack a county heavily guarded by the Japanese? Isn't this like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?"
Geng Zhan shook his head and smiled."
"Before I met your Ninth Company, I really didn't have such thoughts. But now, I feel that I have a chance to try!”
"Hmm? Why?" Zhang Guowei was puzzled.
"The first problem is the number of troops."
Geng Zhan said in a deep voice,"
"Our Sixth Company currently has about sixty combat personnel. Even if we have sufficient weapons and equipment, we still have a large number of people. Whether it's a strong attack or a battle plan, we can't achieve much effect.
However, with the addition of your Ninth Company, things will be completely different.
With the military supplies we have now, it's not a problem for us to fight the Japanese, let alone plan and implement them.”
"Secondly!"
Geng Zhan paused and continued,"
"With the Japanese's vengeful nature, we robbed and killed their transport team today. The Japanese will definitely launch a fierce revenge in a short period of time.
According to the intelligence, the Japanese army in Yangchuan County had about 200 soldiers and 300 to 400 puppet soldiers. In total, there were only 500 to 600 people!
Excluding the 100 or so we killed today, the number of Japanese soldiers in the county is estimated to be around 400.
Once the devils send out their troops to encircle and annihilate us, the county's defense forces will fall into an extremely empty state.
When the time comes, I don't need too many people. I only need to bring ten brothers with me. I can take down the Japanese's command center and destroy their command system.
The remaining battles would not be a problem no matter how they fought!”
After hearing Geng Zhan's words, Zhang Guowei could not help but fall into deep thought.
It had to be said that he was indeed a little tempted.
If things were to develop as Geng Zhan had planned, then this matter might really have some potential.
However, after thinking about it, he still felt that this matter had a huge impact and needed to ask the regiment headquarters for instructions.
However, Geng Zhan waved his hand and said impatiently,"
"Big Brother Zhang, it's just a county town. Why do you need to ask the regiment headquarters for instructions?
Besides, didn't Commander Kong already say that no matter what method we use, as long as we don't break the rules, we can do whatever we want!
We're not fighting this battle for ourselves, but for the sake of the regiment and to give our independent regiment commander face!
So, we'll do this secretly. When we succeed, we'll give the regiment commander a big surprise!”
In the end, Zhang Guowei was also a troublemaker.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stay in the North Mountain Mine and be almost taken over by the Japanese.
Zhang Guowei was moved by Geng Zhan's words, so he didn't care too much.
"Alright, Brother Geng, let's work together and do something big!”
Zhang Guowei threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and looked at Geng Zhan with bright eyes.
The two of them hit it off.
Then, the two company commanders squatted down and plotted for a long time.
It wasn't until the soldiers of the 6th Company, with the help of the 9th Company, had completely cleaned up the battlefield that the two company commanders stood up with their arms around each other's shoulders.
It was only then that Geng Zhan remembered the other purpose of this trip.
The workers in the mine had not been rescued yet!
Hence, the two companies combined into a reinforced company and marched towards the mine.
Fortunately, Zhang Guowei led the way this time. They didn't walk far in the mountains and found the Beishan mine that was still in operation near the mountain surrounded by the Japanese.
The following battle could only be described as a crushing defeat.
There were only a few sentries left in the mine, as well as more than ten traitors who were monitoring the workers under the Japanese's surveillance. The main force had all gone out to encircle and suppress the 9th Company.
The current Northern Mountain Mine was practically an empty shell. Under everyone's frenzied bombardment, the weak defense system was broken at the first touch.
In just a single exchange, the remaining 20 soldiers were all finished.
In the end, after all threats were eliminated, the workers who were still forced to work day and night were picked up from the mine by Zhang Guowei.
The Beishan coal mine was a medium-sized mine. Therefore, although the number of workers here was not too many, it was definitely not small. There were a total of 60 to 70 people!
When the liberated miners saw that the arrogant Japanese were all killed by the Eighth Route Army led by Geng Zhan and Zhang Guowei, they were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes.
After Geng Zhan briefly comforted her and explained his purpose of coming, she was finally able to leave.
There were many workers on the spot. They did not even need to do the mobilization work. They excitedly shouted to join the 8th route team.
There were also some people who missed them and only wanted to go home. Geng Zhan smiled and let them leave without stopping them.
However, some of the people who left also expressed that they would consider it carefully. After settling down their families, they would devote themselves to the anti-Japanese cause.
Geng Zhan naturally welcomed these people with both hands.
Finally, Geng Zhan returned to Lower Groove Village with the Ninth Company and the new members.
The team that had only 50 people when they left in the morning had expanded to more than 140 people!
In just one day.
The scale and strength of the sixth company had undergone an earth-shattering change!
(Brothers who are passing by, please move your fingers. A bouquet of flowers and a collection is the best reward for this little brother!)）
