    The pattern of the Japanese army plundering the Chinese labor force was like this, and what supported this pattern was not only the powerful force of the Japanese army, but also the large and small prisoner-of-war camps throughout North, Central and South China.

    After all, the transportation inside and outside the pass is still very inconvenient, and the road has to pass through the territory of the National Army, the Eighth Route Army, and countless bandits, which is not very safe.

    Therefore, the Japanese army collected a certain amount each time, and then transported these laborers and prisoners of war to the Northeast region either by land transportation or by sea.

    "Before this, these soldiers and civilians who were captured by the little devils must have a place to be detained, so the Japanese army built a large number of prisoner of war camps in China.

    Japanese prisoner-of-war camps were spread throughout the occupied territories. As far as the entire World War II was concerned, China was the country with the largest number of Japanese concentration camps in Asia. At least one million prisoners of war were detained here.

    In the concentration camps densely scattered in North China, all kinds of cruel things are possible. It can be called the Auschwitz concentration camp in Asia. The mortality rate in each prisoner of war camp generally reaches 40%.

    According to statistics, the Japanese army established more than 40 large-scale prisoner of war concentration camps in China, holding about 500,000 prisoners of war.

    ¡° If you include the temporary prisoner of war shelters and retention sites set up by the Japanese army in various places, there are hundreds of them, holding more than one million prisoners of war.

    The mortality rate of the Allied forces in German prisoner-of-war camps was 1.2%, and the mortality rate in the Shenyang prisoner-of-war camp run by Japan was 16%; while the mortality rate of Chinese prisoners of war in North China prisoner-of-war camps was as high as 40%, and the average mortality rate of Chinese prisoners of war who were taken to Japan as laborers was  17.5%, and the mortality rate was as high as 40% when taken to some labor working areas in Manchukuo.

    Although the Japanese concentration camps in China were not like those in Germany where the victims were gassed, burned, and mutilated in batches, the Japanese held captive Chinese prisoners of war and forced them to do forced labor. One group died, another group was added, and another group was added.  A batch of people died, creating hundreds of mass graves and countless mass graves in China.

    Among these concentration camps scattered all over China, the concentration camps in Shijiazhuang, Peiping, Taiyuan, Luoyang, Tianjin, Jinan, Qingdao, and Tanggu in North China are the largest.

    Among all the concentration camps of the Japanese army in North China, there are several that are worth mentioning. The first is the Peking Xiyuan Concentration Camp, which was the earliest concentration camp established by the Japanese army.

    In 1937, after the fall of Pingjin, about 20,000 Chinese officers, soldiers and security team members were captured and disarmed by the Japanese army. Except for being sent directly to work as laborers, most of the remaining prisoners of war were taken to the Xiyuan Barracks on the east side of the Summer Palace in Peking.  training camp.

    According to the account of Japanese war criminal Yoshiyori Uemura, after the Japanese army occupied Beiping and Tianjin, the field headquarters in the Peiping and Tianjin areas did not have its own frontline temporary prisoner camp, so the prisoners on the frontline were sent to Xiyuan.

    It not only accommodates prisoners of war directly under the North China Front and meets the labor needs of the Japanese military and political agencies in Peiping, but also undertakes the task of transferring some prisoners of war.  When the concentration camps in Taiyuan, Shijiazhuang and other places could not accommodate the prisoners of war, they were transferred here in batches. After a period of intensive training, they were sent to other places to work as laborers.

    The Peking Concentration Camp is directly under the direct management of the Second Section of the North China Front Staff. The entire concentration camp is a corps, with a captured Kuomintang officer serving as the corps commander.  There are several brigades under the general team, and several squadrons under the brigade. Each squadron has several classes, with about 50 people in each class.  Whenever the sent workers go out to serve, separate large, medium and small teams will be established.

    In Shandong, the Japanese army built the Jinan Concentration Camp. About 50,000 prisoner-of-war laborers were detained here. In addition to being sent to the puppet army and puppet regime, about 20,000 laborers were sent out, and about 20,000 were tortured to death.  Many people, most of the dead were buried in mass graves in Wuying Mountain and Pipa Mountain.

    In addition to these large-scale prisoner of war concentration camps, the Japanese army also built many small prisoner of war camps in various places to serve as temporary places to hold prisoners of war. Wangjiashan Prisoner of War Camp was the only concentration camp built by the Japanese army in the Zaozhuang area.

    After understanding these situations, Li Guoyao immediately decided to capture this prisoner of war camp while countering encirclement and suppression!

    Firstly, Li Guoyao could not stand by and watch these people being tortured and tortured by the little devils, and even treated as piglets and taken to the Northeast or Japan as slaves.

    Secondly, the Shandong Guerrilla Corps is in urgent need of reinforcements, and the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp has nothing but people.

    The most important thing is that these people all have one thing in common, that is, they are full of hatred for the Japanese.

    That's all for the captured soldiers, especially the common people. They originally lived a good life, but when the little devils came and destroyed their homes, they also killed their elderly parents and young children.  children, rape their wives and daughters, and eventually send them to the Northeast to mine and log as slaves.There is probably no hatred deeper than this in the world.

    And having a grudge shows that these people have high enthusiasm and enthusiasm for resisting Japan. Once these people are armed and trained for a period of time, they will definitely become a tiger and wolf army.

    Li Guoyao knows very well that the most terrifying thing about any army is not that the weapons and equipment are inferior to the people, but that it does not have enough determination to fight.

    Why are the real desperadoes those who can¡¯t live anymore or those who harbor blood hatred? It¡¯s because they dare to fight, fight, and kill!

    For this reason, Li Guoyao specifically handed over the task of rescuing prisoners of war to the Second Squadron of the Special Operations Brigade!

    After two hours of rapid march, Zhou Cheng and others finally arrived near Wangjiashan and entered a mountain forest for temporary rest.

    While the large army was resting, Zhou Cheng immediately sent a combat team to conduct a close inspection of the Wangjiashan Prisoner of War Camp!

    Soon, the reconnaissance team will be back!

    "How is the situation?" Zhou Cheng didn't hesitate and went straight to the topic.

    Luo Wenqiang, the team leader of the first combat team of the first squadron of the second squadron, immediately took out a simple map from his arms, then spread it flat in front of Zhou Cheng and others, and said: "Captain, this is the simple map we drew, please look here  !¡±

    Luo Wenqiang pointed to a point on the map and said: "This is the Wangjiashan Prisoner of War Camp, but this is an iron mine. The teams in the prisoner of war camp are temporarily driven to work in the mine during the day, and then return to the prisoner of war camp to rest at night!  "

    "How is the situation in the prisoner of war camp and how is the defense situation?" Zhou Cheng asked again.

    "There are turrets in the prisoner of war camp. There are four large three-story turrets! There are high walls on the other four sides, and a large number of machine guns are mounted on the walls, guarded by Japanese troops."

    "How many people are detained in the prisoner of war camp? Do you know the approximate number?"

    "We don't know much about this, but according to people from the intelligence department, there are very many prisoners of war working every day, no less than a few thousand!"

    The speaker this time was Zhu Xuan, the squadron leader of the second squadron. He was originally the squadron leader of the second squadron, but now that Zhou Cheng, the deputy captain, is here, he took the initiative to become the chief of staff of the unit!

    "Thousands of people. Is the intelligence department's statistics wrong? This prisoner of war camp was established not long ago. How could there be so many people?" Zhou Cheng asked in a deep voice.

    "It can't be wrong. Think about how many people the little devils have arrested from all over the country during this period. I dare not say too many. There are still three to five thousand people. What's more, it was originally a large iron mine, and there were many workers.  , now they may all have become prisoners of the Japs!" Zhu Xuandao.

    "Well, that makes sense! By the way, how many defenders are there in the prisoner of war camp?" Zhou Cheng asked again.

    "Not much. Judging from the establishment, it should be a complete infantry squadron. They are all concentrated in the barracks outside the prisoner of war camp. However, there are many Japanese boys wearing strange clothes inside. I don't know what those guys do!" Luo Wenqiang  replied.

    ¡°Japanese people in weird clothes?¡±

    "Yes, they all wear Japanese samurai uniforms, with two swords in their waists, buns on their heads, and wooden shoes on their feet. Some of them often carry a wine bottle in their hands. They look weird.  He doesn¡¯t look like a soldier!¡±

    Zhou Cheng said in a deep voice: "Those are all Japanese ronin!"

    "Ronin?"

    Most of these special operations team members are born with mud-legged backgrounds. Few of them are literate and even less knowledgeable. Naturally, they don¡¯t know what a Japanese ronin is!

    For a while, everyone looked at Zhou Cheng curiously, waiting for his further explanation.
