Considering the importance of the iron ore, the Japanese troops stationed in the mine received warnings from peripheral troops and made corresponding precautions. However, the defenders of the mine never thought that they would be hit from the air.

The mine that was captured twice by the Eighth Route Army Qiongdao Column, naturally knows how strong the Qiongdao Column is. In addition to having a better number of people, the Japanese army stationed in the mines felt that they could last for at least one or two days when fighting a frontal defense war.

As a result, the third batch of Japanese troops guarding the mine also felt retribution when they saw the Eagle Strike Air Force that began to carry out air firepower strikes on the mine. Once upon a time, did they raid and bomb the Qiongdao Column with air supremacy?

What unexpectedly surprised the Japanese army in the mine was that as soon as the fighter planes that bombed them left, a large number of unknown armed personnel appeared outside the mine. Seeing this scene, the Japanese army, who had no time to clean up the mess, immediately entered the defensive trenches.

"Enter the position and prepare for defense! Baga, these troops emerge from there. Have our peripheral troops been broken through?"

After suffering two losses, the Japanese naturally became much smarter. They also deployed heavy troops on the main transportation routes entering and leaving the mine. If the Qiongdao Column wants to attack the mine, they must first break through the outer defensive forces.

But no one expected that the mine troops that had only received the warning order suddenly saw a force that had never been seen before. From military uniforms to costumes, they were all that the Japanese troops in the mine had never seen before. But from the tactical movements, you can tell at a glance that they were elite.

Xu Sandao, who was leading the team, knew very well that the mine in front of him was difficult to deal with. In order to reduce the offensive casualties of the assault battalion, he immediately said: "The sniper team will start to clear the targets in the defensive positions. The assault team will be ready!"

The first one to go out to fight was the snipers of the assault battalion. As the sniper teams took their positions one after another, they began to shoot the Japanese troops on the positions at a long range. The assault battalion carrying small caliber mortars also began to launch artillery attacks on the Japanese positions.

The Japanese army, who could only hide in positions and be beaten, suddenly found that the enemy's fighting style was something they had never touched before. After each gunshot, a defender must fall down on the position. Such accurate shooting skills really shocked the Japanese army.

"Baga! What kind of troops is this? Damn, where did they emerge from?"

If it were the European battlefield, it might not be unusual for the airborne troops to raid. But in the Asian battlefield, this should be the first time the airborne troops appeared on the battlefield. They ignored the external defense and went straight to the core. Such tactics really shocked the Japanese army.

But what was even more shocking was that the heavy weapons continued to be dropped from the transport plane. As the commando informed that the assault vehicle had been received, Xu Sandao immediately said: "Assault, get on!"

The land assault vehicle was also a wheeled chariot developed by Hu Biao for the special operations brigade by the military factory. It was equipped with large-caliber machine guns and fenders, which could attack the defenders on the defensive positions at a long range. When several assault vehicles appeared, the Japanese army was completely stunned.

Faced with the crazy strafing of vehicle-mounted machine guns, the Japanese army on the position could not look up at all. Just when the Japanese army ordered the machine gun fortress to fire and defend, the commando's recoilless guns had already aimed at these machine gun fortresses to fire.

The Japanese army, who thought they could last for at least one day, had no power to fight back against the powerful assault from the airborne assault battalion. After the gap was opened, the commandos equipped with a new type of ammunition capacity of 30 assault rifles quickly expanded the gap.

Whether it is combat skills or weapons and equipment, the Japanese army that were crushed even felt a sense of fear of fighting ghosts and gods. The reason is very simple. All commando players wearing protective helmets have special combat oil paints on their faces.

Such a strange army, coupled with the first large-scale appearance of assault rifles, really made the Japanese devils feel completely stunned. Not long after, except for the Japanese who fought stubbornly, all the Japanese who survived surrendered without exception.

Under the protection of the guards, Xu Sandao also successfully entered the mining area. Looking at the gathered technical workers from Fusang, Xu Sandao said with a cold face: "You should be glad that you did not destroy these equipment, so you can survive!"

The technical workers who heard this also seemed relieved. No one had proposed to blow up the machinery and equipment of the mine, but many technical workers expressed their opposition. They felt that it was a pity to blow up the mine.

After being captured, these technical workers began to worry about whether the troops that captured the mine would kill them too. Now, when they heard the Fusang words Xu Sandao said, they were shocked and breathed a sigh of relief.

For the war, they didn't want to pay too much attention to these technical workers sent to the Qiongdao mine. For them, coming here is just a job, and they have no right to refuse and resist.

He instructed his subordinates to take good care of these technical workers, Xu Sandao went to inspect the prisoners of war camp and notified the medical soldiers of the advance team to start checking the physical examination on these prisoners of war. Those suffering from illness would also be given timely treatment.

When the prisoners of war learned that the Southwest Independence Army was rescued, many prisoners of war said with confusion: "Independence Army? Never heard of it! The Southwest Independence Army, are the troops in the southwest? Gui Army or Yunnan Army?"

Listening to the POWs' discussions, Xu Sandao also said directly: "We are not the Gui army or the Yunnan army. The Southwest Independence Army grew up in the southwest colony. This time, the attack on the mine was also at the invitation of the Eighth Route Army.

You can choose later whether to stay here with the Eighth Route Army or leave Qiongdao to return home. But there is a little hope that you know that the domestic war has not yet subsided, and the Japanese army has even launched a new round of war.

If you are willing to stay with the Eighth Route Army, you can go there to register your name later. Among you, there must be an Eighth Route Army liaison officer? This matter will be left to you. If you don’t want to stay, you can also go to the southwest before making plans.

Many of you were captured by the Japanese army on the battlefield, and they were loyal to the country. When you take good care of your health, if you don’t want to join the army, we will also pay travel expenses and let you go home by yourself. In short, you are free and safe!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Compared with these prisoners of war from their own country, most of the prisoners of war from foreign troops who were rescued were crying with joy. When they learned that Xu Sandao was from the Southwest Independence Army and fought with the Allied forces many times, these prisoners of war also seemed extremely excited.

Xu Sandao also said at the right time: "Gentlemen, please calm down for the time being. The battle on the island is still continuing. If you want to leave, you still need to wait patiently for a while and have a good rest and take good care of your health!"

"Thank you, sir!"

In Xu Sandao's opinion, whether the Japanese prisoners of war captured or these Allied prisoners of war can be used to make money. When the battle to restore Qiongdao is over, I believe that the war broker Nuvik will become very busy again.

The Qiongdao Column, which was divided into multiple forces, received air and maritime support from the Southwest Independence Army and began to recover lost territory without any damage. When the Japanese army received a telegram from the troops stationed in Qiongdao, they were unable to draw troops to reinforce.

It is still the old problem before. Too few troops were drawn, so it would not work at all. If too many troops were drawn, problems would arise in other places. What's more, in such a sudden situation, how could the Japanese army be able to draw too many combat troops at once?

While scolding the Southwest Independence Army for being too arrogant, the Japanese army knew that they could not do anything to Hu Biao. Now Hu Biao, who owns the entire southwest colony, may have become the well-deserved king of the Southwest in the eyes of many people.

In addition to the strength Hu Biao exposed one after another, it really made the Japanese army extremely afraid. In this case, facing Hu Biao cooperated with the Qiongdao Column to recover Qiongdao occupied by him, what could the Japanese army do except scold him?

After receiving the good news from the front line, the commanders of the Qiongdao Column were all excited without exception. When they learned that the iron mine was also captured by the Independent Army, these commanders seemed extremely surprised.

"How did they fight? Isn't the battle outside the mine still going on?"

In the face of Commander-in-Chief Feng's inquiry, the confidential staff member who sent the information smiled bitterly and said, "Commander-in-Chief, they jumped out of the air! There were not many people, but they were all elite, and their weapons and equipment were extremely well-equipped."

"Jumped out of the air? What's going on?"

"Wait! They are parachutes! It's really unbelievable that the Independent Army actually trained airborne troops!"

One of the commanders seemed to have some understanding of the airborne troops, and even explained it to everyone. After learning about this situation, Commander Feng also said solemnly: "A such a unit is simply unpredictable!"

"That's right! As far as I know, there are not many countries that are currently training airborne troops. In addition to professional parachuting equipment, there are also a large number of transport aircraft. Moreover, training this kind of troops is extremely dangerous!"

"No matter how high we are, we need to practice! Report these situations to the headquarters. If we can train such an elite force, we will have more chances of winning in the future when fighting against the reactionaries. It's just a transport plane, we don't have any!"

Although a commander wanted to ask Hu Biao if he could ask him to borrow a transport plane. This idea just came out and would soon be suppressed. After all, the Independence Army helped the column to restore the entire island this time, which was already a great help to them.

They felt embarrassed to ask Hu Biao for something as expensive as a transport plane!

When they received a secret telegram from the Qiongdao Column, Mr. Zhu and others were also extremely shocked. Through this joint battle, they truly realized how powerful Hu Biao was. Airborne troops and assault rifles that could be fired continuously were all things that they had only heard of.

It was not until this time that they truly realized that the Southwest Independence Army at this moment, in a sense, had surpassed the National Government. Perhaps this is why Hu Biao dared not give Jiang Jiang face.
