Chiba Xunyi was very worried that the 32nd garrison division would be eaten by Xu Dalong's troops. In that case, he would be held accountable by the Japanese army. He wanted to retire with dignity, but he couldn't do it after leaving the army, so he always hoped to live in peace with Xu Dalong.
. Yan Guiwu secretly communicated with Xu Dalong. Not only did he turn a blind eye, he even hoped to keep it that way.
After listening to Yan Guiwu's suggestion, he was still very interested. Originally, Yucheng and the surrounding areas used coal from Datong, Shanxi. Since the Yanbei area was occupied by the Daqingshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column, the supply of coal has been cut off.
.The charcoal and coal they used were secretly bought by Yan Guiwu from the Mawushan Military Division. The price is much higher than before, and the use must be strictly controlled. If the coal produced in Datong can be resumed, it will of course be a good thing for him.
This is a good thing. If the coal produced in Datong can be transported and sold to other areas such as Beiping, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, etc., and then the in-demand materials there can be transported back and sold, the profits can be imagined.
He basically agreed with the suggestion put forward by Yan Guiwu and said: "Yan Sang, your idea is very good, but there are still some problems to be solved. On the one hand, whether the First Army can agree to us doing this, and on the other hand,
Now that coal is in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, can it be obtained from them and transported safely? What do you think of these two issues?"
Yan Guiwu said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, your concerns are very reasonable. I have investigated this matter in advance. The area occupied by the Yellow Army includes Taiyuan City, and of course the coal used by our Yucheng, mainly from Datong.
.Since the coal mines in Datong were controlled by the Eighth Route Army, the supply of coal has been extremely tight. Even the use of coal in Taiyuan City needs to be controlled, and the price has skyrocketed.
This put great pressure on the First Army. The logistics department of the First Army tried every means to transport coal in from other places, but the water from afar could not quench the thirst of the people nearby. They had wanted to solve this problem for a long time, and even secretly contacted the Eighth Route Army through some businessmen.
It’s just that the conditions have not been reached. If the division commander can help solve this problem, the First Army Headquarters will not object. If my prediction is good, I should be happy."
This news was revealed to Yan Guiwu by Xu Dalong. Xu Dalong was very thorough in his work and would fix all the loopholes in advance. Takahashi Bingwei has now been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of the Japanese Army and is the assistant to the Chief of the Logistics Section of the First Army. His actual powers are equivalent
Deputy Section Chief Yu. He had already heard from the Logistics Section Chief that the First Army had indeed negotiated with the Eighth Route Army in Datong to solve the coal problem, but it had not found a suitable negotiating partner.
In fact, Takahashi Bei can complete this task, but his position is very important. Xu Dalong reminded him not to let him be exposed, so he did not get involved in this matter. But Takahashi Bei has already attracted a large number of Japanese soldiers within the Japanese army.
The military officers, including the head of the logistics section, formed a corrupt gang. The head of the logistics section wanted to make a fuss about Datong's coal and make a fortune from it, and Takahashi Hei also played a role in fueling the situation.
This was a foreshadowing laid by Xu Dalong and Takahashi Bei in advance. As long as the 32nd garrison division came forward to discuss the matter, the First Army Headquarters would definitely approve it.
Qianye Xunyi trusted Yan Guiwu very much. When he heard what he said, he said happily: "Xinxi, you are thoughtful and meticulous in your work. I greatly appreciate this. I will send someone to Taiyuan later to implement this matter."
Yan Guiwu continued: "As for the Eighth Route Army, their funds have always been very tight. Now they have occupied Datong, controlled a large number of coal mines, and can be said to have abundant resources. Unfortunately, the coal can only be transported to Suiyuan and Chaha
In the Er area, sales are very limited, and a lot of resources are wasted. Not only that, after the Eighth Route Army controlled a large number of coal mines, it also assumed the responsibility of feeding those miners. Coal could not be transported out, and a large number of miners could only lose their jobs. This was very important to the Eighth Route Army.
It is also a huge pressure for them, so they are also eager to export coal.
I have also sent people to conduct secret investigations in this regard. We can get coal from them at a lower price than before. Transportation is not a problem. After the Eighth Route Army took control of Datong, it took control of Datong’s railway system. There are a large number of trains there.
, as long as the area controlled by the Yellow Army allows them to pass, nothing will be a problem."
Qianye Xunyi knew that Yan Guiwu was secretly colluding with Xu Dalong and completely believed what he said.
He said: "Xinxi, you are responsible for contacting the Eighth Route Army, and I will be responsible for the First Army Command Headquarters. As for places like Peking, Tianjin, and Shijiazhuang, I have many friends, and they will provide convenience."
Qianye Xunyi was in a high mood, drinking with Yan Guiwu while enjoying the performances of his dissidents. When he was happy, he stood up and danced with them.
Not to mention, his dancing skills are very proficient and he can dance decently.
Chiba Xunyi sent his adjutant and the logistics section chief of the 32nd Garrison Division to Taiyuan. They first met Takahashi Bei. Takahashi Bei originally came from the 32nd Garrison Division. When they explained
After arriving, Takahashi Hei arranged for them to have a private banquet with the logistics section chief of the First Army, and the two sides hit it off immediately.
The head of the Logistics Section of the First Army put forward some requirements. They were fancy and complicated, but in fact there was only one requirement, which was to leave enough benefits for the Logistics Section of the First Army. This was also previously agreed upon by Chiba Hirunichi.
Meaning, his adjutant had already received instructions from Qianba Xunyi before he came, and if there is money, everyone can make it.
The two sides quickly reached an agreement. Then the First Military Command quickly approved Chiba Xunyi's plan to transport and sell coal.
After Chiba Xunyi received the authorization from the First Army Headquarters, he established a trading company with Yan Guiwu's Huang Xiejun Fourth Division in the name of an island businessman. This trading company was chaired by Wang Shuhuai.

After the Daqingshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column occupied Datong, at the beginning, Ma Zhenyu thought he was sitting on a golden mountain in order to master a large amount of coal resources. However, the good times did not last long, and soon these coal mines became a heavy
burden.
Since the produced coal cannot be sold, a large number of coal mines can only reduce production or suspend production, leaving hundreds of thousands of miners with their mouths open for food. This makes Ma Zhenyu worried. Although after hard work, he has increased the pressure on Chahar and Suiyuan
The coal transportation volume in the area, but the demand there is very small, which is just a drop in the bucket for the Daqingshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column.
He originally hoped that Xu Dalong could help him solve the coal sales problem, but the Mawushan Military Division also had its own coal mines, so he was embarrassed to open his mouth. The Japanese army contacted him through some coal merchants, but the Daqingshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column did not contact the Japanese army.
He had no experience in dealing with the matter and was worried that Zheng Zhi would be affected. Therefore, the matter was dropped.
When Ma Zhenyu received Xu Dalong's telegram, he was overjoyed and immediately promised to fully cooperate with Xu Dalong's actions.
Coal transportation and sales is a big business in Shanxi, it can even be said to be the biggest business. Being able to make rational use of the coal resources controlled by the Eighth Route Army and transport a large amount of strategic materials from the Japanese-occupied areas to the Eighth Route Army's base areas is of course an advantage of the Eighth Route Army.
Yes. The superiors of the Eighth Route Army also hold a supportive attitude, but this matter is very complicated, and the boundaries are difficult to grasp. If it is not handled well, it may be suspected of collaborating with the enemy.
Commander Si Ling was a man of great wisdom, and he could not leave any future troubles. In order to prevent anyone from making a fuss about this matter, he personally flew to northern Shaanxi, met with the old superior comrade in charge, and explained Xu Dalong's plan to him in detail.
reported.
The comrade in charge originally sent Xu Dalong to Tianjin to open up transportation lines. He believed that Xu Dalong would be able to build a secret transportation line, but he did not expect that Xu Dalong would actually make it so big. If this plan could be completed smoothly, it would be a great blow to the underground party and the Eighth Route Army.
It's a major benefit.
The person in charge had rich experience in underground work and highly affirmed Xu Dalong's plan. He also gave some specific instructions, telling Xu Dalong to go ahead and do it without any scruples.
Officer Si Ling got the Shang Fang Sword for Xu Dalong and breathed a sigh of relief. After he returned to the Si Ling Headquarters of the military region, he sent Xu Dalong the spirit of the instructions from the comrade in charge.
After receiving approval from superiors, the plan officially began to be implemented, and the work of establishing traffic lines was carried out in an orderly manner.
In the following time, strange scenes occurred in many places in Shanxi. Many local people saw the Eighth Route Army organizing migrant workers to build railways there. Everyone was curious. In the past, the Eighth Route Army used to destroy roads everywhere.
, about the railway, I don’t know what they are going to do now.
There is a more interesting scene on the railway from Datong to Taiyuan. On the same railway, the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army are repairing the railway section that was previously destroyed by the Eighth Route Army. The soldiers on both sides are only a few dozen meters apart, but it seems that no one can
No one was seen, everyone was doing their own work. In the end, the two sides connected the restored railway. The Japanese commander and the cadres led by the Eighth Route Army shook hands and expressed their pleasure in cooperation.
Chiba Xunyi also attached great importance to this matter. He personally went to Peiping, Tianjin and Shijiazhuang, met with the local Japanese garrison commanders, and negotiated related interests. The local Japanese garrison all agreed to serve under Chiba Xunyi.
Trading companies provide convenience.
In Xiaojiabi Village, Datong County, DT City, at the entrance of the village, two young men were carrying shabby bedrolls and preparing to go on a long journey. Their parents, wives and children were seeing them off.
These two young men, one named Zhou Qinghua and the other Wang Weimin, were both miners at Qingshiyao No. 6 Mine. The coal mine was forced to suspend production because the coal it produced had no market, and they could only stay at home to work.
There are already a lot of people and little land here, so they can't support their family just by farming. Therefore, the two decided to go out to find work to earn money to support their family.
Zhou Qinghua's father was also a miner. He broke a leg due to an accident in the mine and was on crutches. He told his son to be careful when going out and not to argue with outsiders. If he couldn't stay any longer, he should go home quickly.
.
The mother and wife kept wiping away tears, but the ignorant child asked his father to buy candy for him when he came back from outing.
The two families were reluctantly saying goodbye with tears when a group of people suddenly ran out of the village, some of whom had guns in their hands.
After they ran over, they surrounded Zhou Qinghua and Wang Weimin. The leader was wearing plain clothes and an Eighth Route Army cap on his head. His name was Li Jixian, the militia captain of Xiaojiabi Village.
Li Jixian said: "Zhou Qinghua, Wang Weimin, we mobilized you to join the militia, but you didn't agree. Now that you have to run away, do you still want to do things for the little devil?"
Zhou Qinghua said: "It's nothing. We just want to find some work to earn money to support our family because our family is too difficult."
Li Jixian said dissatisfiedly: "You used to work in the Japs mines, and the Japs didn't pay you, and they didn't treat you as human beings. If the Eighth Route Army hadn't saved you, you would have died eight times ago. Have you forgotten that with us?
How did the miners with you get tortured to death by the Japanese?"
Yes, the Japanese army implemented military control in the coal mines in the past. They did not regard the miners as human beings at all. Not only did they treat them like animals, but they also killed them at will.
The Daqingshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column captured Datong and liberated these miners, so that they had a way to survive.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhou Qinghua’s father said with a smile: “Jixian’s eldest nephew, the Eighth Route Army saved Qinghua and the others, and we are all very grateful. But as you have also seen, now Qinghua and the others are not
The livelihood of the family is really unsustainable. Let them go out to do odd jobs and earn some money to support the family. They will definitely not work for the Japanese again."
Li Jixian said: "It's all nonsense. After they went out, they were captured by the Japs and Hanjian. If they were to work as laborers for them, wouldn't they still work for the Japs? The Eighth Route Army has treated you well, but you have no work in the mines."
Didn't I give you some money as a subsidy after I started working? Has anyone else in our village received a subsidy? You are still not satisfied, and you are not willing to serve as soldiers. What kind of consciousness do you have?"
The militiamen who came with him also accused Zhou Qinghua and Wang Weimin.
After the Daqingshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column captured the mining area, a large number of miners had no work to do. Considering the hardship of their lives, the guerrillas also spent some money to subsidize them. However, the Daqingshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column itself was not rich.
There are so many miners and the subsidies they can receive are really negligible, which is a drop in the bucket to improve the lives of their families.
Li Jixian and the militiamen firmly disagreed with Zhou Qinghua and Wang Weimin going out, and wanted to take them back to the village, imprison them, and tell them to report to the countryside and punish them.
The families of Zhou Qinghua and Wang Weimin begged hard, but Li Jixian and others firmly disagreed and pushed Zhou Qinghua and Wang Weimin toward the village. Some militiamen even took out ropes and threatened to tie them up if they disobeyed.
At this moment, a young man came over on horseback. If you like "The Independent Brigade of Bright Swords", please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) "The Independent Brigade of Bright Swords" is the fastest updated website on the Internet.
