After giving the order, the brigade commander was about to sit down and take a breath when the red phone on the desk rang again.

Major General Honda couldn't understand why he was still looking for him in the middle of the night.

Although I was very unhappy, I still walked to the table with exhausted steps and respectfully picked up the microphone.

The ammunition supply and replenishment of the brigade have to be allocated by superiors. If they offend them, just putting a little shoe on them is enough for them to bear.

As soon as he put the receiver in his ear, the commander's majestic command sounded.

"Honda, I just received the news: Jingxing coal mine was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the guard team suffered heavy casualties and urgently needed reinforcements. Your place is across Jingxing coal mine, recently, I asked you to draw at least one brigade from the Honda wing to reinforce Jingxing coal mine, and the troops set out immediately to ensure that the Jingxing coal mine is not destroyed by the Eighth Route Army."

Major General Honda was confused when he heard this. He didn't have enough troops to protect the Zhengtai Railway, so how could he mobilize troops to reinforce Jingxing?

Immediately, I showed a embarrassed expression and carefully refused to the microphone: "Sir, please calm down, no soldiers or soldiers can be transferred here."

"In the first half of the night, the Yangquan Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army suddenly launched an attack on a railway station in the Yangquan section of the Zhengtai Railway. The entire army of the railway station was destroyed. The cotton and cotton cloth that were docked there were all lost. A reinforcement squadron of the railway garrison reinforced the railway station was also destroyed. The forced Beizhi had to draw a brigade from the Honda United to reinforce the battlefield and regain the railway station."

"The railway station has been recaptured now, but the first brigade that reinforced the railway station has suffered heavy casualties."

"The Eighth Route Army began to attack other railway stations and artillery towers in the Yangquan section of Zhengtai Railway. In order to protect the railway safety, Beizhi has sent all the troops that can be mobilized to the railway line, and the troops are still short of strength. If a brigade is now drawn to reinforce Jingxing, the Eighth Route Army and the National Salvation Army will definitely take the opportunity to rush forward and have another large-scale attack on the Zhengtai Railway. At that time, you will not guarantee that the railway will be reopened if you give Beizhi another ten days."

Major General Honda could not see the current reaction of the commander, but could hear the commander's breathing more and more urgently.

He must be very angry now, and if he is not careful during the next call, he may get angry.

Holding the microphone, he didn't dare to breathe for a moment, waiting for the commander's final decision.

"That's it!" An order came from the receiver that made Honda breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the commander on the other end of the phone was very angry, he suppressed his anger and did not show it.

Just as Major General Honda secretly thanked for his good luck, the commander's tone suddenly became very harsh: "I can draw the reinforcements from other places, but you must guard the Zhengtai Railway for me and ensure that the railway is opened on time..."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Honda to speak.

Listening to the "beep..." sound from the microphone, Major General Honda was not happy at all.

Although Jingxing Coal Mine does not need to send troops to reinforce itself, the task of ensuring that the railway is opened on time is also arduous and difficult to complete, especially when the railway is destroyed in the Yangquan section of the Zhengtai Railway...

But the commander's order has been issued, and he will still be on the shelves even if he is on the shelves.

At Jingxing Coal Mine, the attack of the National Rescue Army has come to an end.

In the huge power generator room, the steam boiler was running rapidly with the generator, and a huge roar could be heard from a distance.

Zhou Cheng was very excited.

As long as the equipment in the computer room is transported back, the arsenal will continue to produce bullets.

But as soon as he walked into the computer room, he was stunned.

The equipment inside is too big. Whether it is the boiler or generator, it seems that it weighs tens of thousands of pounds, and it is impossible to move it back with manpower alone.

In his perception, the generator should all be similar.

The two existing diesel generators of the regiment headquarters were seized from the Japanese army, from the Japanese Punishment Garage Command and the Xiyang Garage Command.

Because the power is not large, they only weigh two or three hundred kilograms.

The arsenal needs a high-power generator. In Zhou Cheng's opinion, it would be good if it weighs thousands of pounds, so he has never been worried about transportation issues since he formulated an action plan.

It turned out that he was wrong.

The high-power generators and the existing low-power generators in the group not only look different, but also have different weights.

This is not the most important thing. Facing the huge things in front of you, no one knows how to disassemble them, let alone how to transport them.

Faced with these difficult problems, Zhou Cheng, who has never lacked ideas, was in trouble for the first time.

"Captain, we have found all the absenteeism in the mining area. There are 2,958 ordinary absenteeism and 39 people responsible for operating equipment!" The company commander of the investigation, Tang Shengbo, did not know that Zhou Cheng was worried, so he rushed in and reported with an excited expression.

As a representative of the reconnaissance company, he went to see the corpses of miners piled up like mountains at the back of the mining area. It was so miserable. The tragic scene was always engraved in his mind and could not be erased no matter how hard it was.

If the National Salvation Army failed to save nearly 3,000 absenteeism in the mining area today, it would not take long for them to be enslaved to death by the Japanese, and ended up being thrown into the wilderness...

When Tang Shengbo led his troops to find them, his first reaction was that he saved their lives.

Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. He saved nearly 3,000 lives at once, and it is hard to be unhappy.

Zhou Cheng is now thinking about how to transport the power generation equipment in the computer room back to the defense zone, and he has no time to listen to Tang Shengbo's report.

But when he heard one of the sentences, his brows subconsciously frowned, feeling that there was something helpful to him in it, so he immediately asked: "What's wrong with the other thirty people? Aren't they absent from work?"

Tang Shengbo quickly explained: "They are also absent from work, but they are different from ordinary absent from work. They specialize in managing equipment in mining areas and do not need to go to the mines. The Japanese treat them slightly better than ordinary absent from work."

"I roughly understand: ordinary absenteeism comes from front-line prisoners of war, and the thirty absenteeism that were detained separately were not prisoners. The Japanese worked in the coal mine before occupying Jingxing Coal Mine. After the Japanese occupied the coal mine, they used bayonets to force them to stay here to work."

"These people are educated and can operate and repair all the machinery and equipment in the mining area. They play a greater role in the mine than ordinary absenteeism, and it is difficult to find a suitable person to replace them, so the Japanese treat them differently."

The more Zhou Cheng listened, the brighter his eyes became: "You can operate equipment and repair equipment, so they must know how these equipment work and will dismantle them."

"Company Commander Tang, you have made great contributions to our National Rescue Army. If you can't think of a way to dismantle the equipment in front of you, I can only bear the pain of giving up and blowing them up. That would be a pity!"

"Why are you still standing there? Bring those people over immediately, and bring all of them!"

These people's living conditions in the mining area are only slightly better than ordinary absenteeism.

Because it is very important, the Japanese have stricter supervision of them. After a year, everyone has become numb and thinks they will never have the chance to leave here.

When he learned that all the Japanese in the mining area were killed by the Eighth Route Army and he was saved, many people cried with joy and began to imagine what they would do after they escaped from the Japanese clutches.

But soon they were defeated by the cruel reality.

Most parts of Shanxi were occupied by the Japanese, and even if they left the mining area alive, they were still under the rule of the Japanese.

I will definitely not be able to go back to my home. If the Japanese knew that they had escaped from the Jingxing Coal Mine, they would not only arrest themselves again, but also involve their wives, children and parents.

But where else can they go if they don’t go home?

Most people's idea is to follow the Eighth Route Army, so that they will not involve their families, but will also be able to escape from the clutches of the Japanese. There is no need to worry about their future.

But if you don’t know how to shoot guns or kill people, you will repair and operate the machinery and equipment in the mining area. The Eighth Route Army is a unit that fights the Japanese. Will they accept them?

As they thought about it, these people began to get into trouble again.

"Everyone comes with me, our team leader wants to meet everyone!" Tang Shengbo ran into their dormitory.

"The leader wants to see us, sir, do you know what's going on?" a middle-aged man in charge asked carefully.

"It seems that any machine is being dismantled. Hurry up. We have limited time. After dismantling, we will evacuate here!" Tang Yufeng continued to greet him.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up instantly.

If the other party wants to dismantle the equipment of the mine, it means that the equipment in it is useful.

Once the equipment is available, people will definitely need to operate and repair these equipment.

Everyone here is familiar with the equipment in the mine. Everyone takes the opportunity to propose the idea of ​​joining the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army will definitely agree.

To be on the safe side, the middle-aged man decided to take a look at Tang Shengbo's mouth first, and asked while he was calling everyone to the generator room, "Sir, are your Eighth Route Army still recruiting people?"

"Although we can't shoot, we will repair and manipulate equipment in the mining area. It will definitely be useful if you accept us!"

As the company commander of the reconnaissance, Tang Shengbo knew many secrets of the National Salvation Army and knew very well the character of the regiment commander.

These people seem weak, but their minds are full of knowledge. If they want to join the National Salvation Army, the regiment commander will definitely agree with each other and nod immediately: "As long as you really want to join the army, we will definitely accept it."

"Everyone is quicker, the Japanese have less time left for us."

"After a while, I arrived at the generator room and told the team leader that everyone wanted to join us. I promise that the team leader would agree."

"But we don't collect waste. What do you know in a while? Don't hide anything in your mind. You must show it all in front of the leader. If you encounter any problems or have any ideas, even if you ask us, the leader likes people who are straightforward?"

The middle-aged man was very happy and excited to answer: "Don't worry, sir, I will let the team leader see our abilities!"

"Everyone will work hard for a while. Do whatever the commander asks you to do. Never be lazy. If you do it well, we will join the Eighth Route Army!"

Because everyone has been fighting under the banner of the Eighth Route Army, the absentees in the mine do not know that the National Salvation Army was rescued.

In order to keep it a secret, Tang Yufeng did not explain. When they arrived at the National Salvation Military Defense Zone, they would naturally know.
Chapter completed!
