Chapter 139: Underground Warehouse

The person holding the sledgehammer was in a daze, and the hammer head slipped when it hit the tree stump. Unfortunately, it hit the person holding the tree stump. Net

The unlucky man immediately covered his hand, and the hammer directly made his hand bleed. This kind of safety accidents in production work are very common. Building warehouses and digging holes are both heavy physical work. More people still grind their hands.

Blisters or abrasions on limbs.

There are medical personnel on the construction site who are ready to respond well. Unexpectedly, this unlucky guy received extremely high treatment.

"Leave the rest to me, I'm Bessika from the military hospital." Yang Tao greeted the few people watching away.

These people were all active-duty soldiers. They immediately recognized that it was the chief and deputy division commander who was visiting in person, and they couldn't help but be in awe.

All Carambola could do was to deal with it early. This man's hand was bleeding and had to be stitched up quickly. There were no effective hemostatic drugs in the army, so we could only hope that he would stop the bleeding on his own.

After a while, the stationed doctors and nurses arrived, and they were surprised to see the high official.

"You don't need to be nervous at all. Just help the injured away. We are just here to see your construction work." Yang Mingzhi said.

The onlookers dispersed, and their construction plan was to continue. The work of building wooden piles continued, but the workers were more cautious. The errant hammer wielder was not punished, but he was only asked to continue to be careful.

There was a busy scene on the construction site. They established a series of construction sites along the newly opened dirt road. At each site, they first drove down wooden piles. Only a few buildings had begun to be constructed. They erected multiple tree trunks and added wooden piles to the construction site.

Good planks are laid on wooden piles and fixed with iron nails.

Compared with digging holes, Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but be fascinated by watching them build a house. After a while, the person in charge here came over.

He was a junior officer who was good at civil engineering. When he saw the two superiors, he immediately said: "Sir, I am Sergeant Olkin, responsible for the construction in Montenegro."

The two of them returned the greeting, Yevlov smiled brightly, and Yang Mingzhi noticed the word he said. "Black Mountain? The small mound here is its name. You call it a mountain."

"Yes, sir!" Olkin immediately put down his seriousness and said, "There are not many highlands like this in our area. This highland with an altitude of 100 meters above sea level is the commanding height of the area, so it can be called a mountain."

Yang Mingzhi nodded, "That's fine, there will be a larger exhibition space in this Black Mountain area in the future. Since you are already here, take us on a tour."

Guided by Holkin, everyone strolled through the construction area. A large number of carriages were transporting excavated earth and stone, or transporting freshly felled trees. The earth and stone were piled together like a hill, and there were other felled trees.

place.

There were several woodworking lathes driven by animal power. Several horses were driven by whips to turn the winches, and workers processed tree trunks into straight wood as building materials. These ancient machines are not surprising, as the quality of the wood they process is excellent and the output is large.

Belarus is extremely rich in timber resources and century-old trees are everywhere. Yang Mingzhi has no doubt that these people can build the new warehouse quickly.

Of course, the most critical warehouse is the cave. Olkin led everyone to a cave excavation site.

Here, Yang Mingzhi was surprised to notice that there were workers mixing cement here.

"It's incredible. I never knew we still had concrete?" Yang Mingzhi was extremely surprised. He had never heard Liguschkov say this. He only knew that the Blacksmith Village was very good at making weapons.

Olkin smiled. By chance, a carriage pulled some sacks. These heavy things were cement. He ordered a dozen workers to swarm over, unload the sacks and open them. Yang Mingzhi stepped forward and only

You can see that this bag is full of lime.

The so-called concrete is the chemical reaction of silica and quicklime. Finally, the two are perfectly combined under the catalysis of moisture to become a hard solid. If steel bars are added, the solidity will be even better.

Yang Mingzhi never expected that Blacksmith Village would still have such a repertoire, which is thought-provoking. "Since we still have cement, don't we also have a lot of fine sand?"

"Yes, in fact, although we are a forest plain here, we still have some exposed rocks." Olkin pointed to the hole being excavated in front of everyone. "In the plan, we will use stones to build an entrance and then decorate it with cement.

Ichiban. As for the interior, stones must be piled up for safety."

Yang Mingzhi nodded with satisfaction and asked: "In that case, I think we can also build some permanent defenses. After all, we are deep in the occupied area, and the enemy is very likely to attack us. We use reinforced concrete to make machine guns.

Even artillery bunkers, unless the enemy uses heavy artillery level fire bombing or dispatches dive bombers, our bunkers will definitely be impregnable."

Yang Mingzhi said this because he knew that sooner or later the Germans would try to wipe out the entire Belarusian guerrillas. In order to do so quickly, they would often massacre villages indiscriminately, even babies. If they knew

There is a huge guerrilla camp in the swamp, and it will inevitably try to encircle and suppress it with large-scale troops.

Once a counter-encirclement and suppression war breaks out, building appropriate defensive positions is also the key to victory.

Just as Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but think about it, Olkin had no choice but to pour cold water on him. "The deputy division commander's idea is very good, but we are in a difficult situation now. This cement was reserved by the village and is now used to build warehouses, or it can also be said to have the properties of air-raid shelters."

The caves must consume all the cement. We have a lot of rocks here, but they don’t produce lime.”

Yang Mingzhi listened to his explanation, was he afraid that he wouldn't understand? After some gestures, the man realized that the rocks he was talking about were mainly granite.

"Okay, I'm thinking too much. Since cement is very precious, you must use it sparingly, but you are not allowed to cut corners. After all, the cement is waterproof. We moved the supplies into the cave. If it rains heavily outside, the inside of the cave must also be protected.

dry!"

"Yes, sir!" Olkin immediately saluted with a military salute.

Yevlov listened to these two people talking for a long time, and what they said was more like the conversation of a construction engineer. Needless to say, Holkin was a very good engineer. Before joining the army, he was a student studying architecture.

He also has some attainments in this field. And Berekov, today he also showed himself to be an architect.

He is a strange man! Yevlov said: "Berekov, are you satisfied with the construction situation of Holkin and others?"

"Not bad." Yang Mingzhi scratched his head, "But we are all outside. Whether they are doing well or not, we still have to go in and see. So I have to go in."

Yang Mingzhi was very curious. The cave was still being excavated, and from time to time soldiers would come out of the cave holding baskets full of soil.

The cave is currently three meters wide and two meters high, and the space is still very restricted, so the soldiers responsible for digging have been expanding. They are like the coal workers in Donbas, and the digging work is like a group of moles, or the dwarves in fantasy literature

and Delaney.

In fact, Yang Tao did not want her husband to go and see the cave in person. When she was in the Northeast, she discovered that there were many treasures buried in the nearby mountains, such as coal. After the Japanese occupied the three northeastern provinces, they first wanted to use coal resources. Yang Tao is just an ordinary farmer.

The girl, because of her experience as a hunter, knew some of the mysteries of the cave.

She could always hear what her parents said. The Japanese recruited miners to dig coal and were rewarded with a bowl of rice. Naturally, many people had no national integrity and went to dig coal for the Japanese, and always ended up with accidents in the mines.

Collapse, miners were buried alive, people could not come back, and pensions were impossible.

This cave seemed like a bloody mouth, and it was difficult to get out after entering it. There seemed to be many crises in it, which reminded the girl of many things. She subconsciously pulled her husband's lapel and asked timidly: "Brother, are you really

Do you want to go in? It's very dangerous. I'm afraid the cave will suddenly collapse."

"That's impossible!" A worker holding a basket of soil said impatiently after hearing what the girl said.

Olkin immediately explained, fearing that his work would make the two division commanders suspicious. It turned out that the cave was also designed according to the mine. The cave was temporarily supported by wooden poles. After the excavation was deeper, the walls would be piled with stones, and the ceiling would be more

The prefabricated panels must be made of reinforced concrete. They must be able to withstand pressure and must be waterproof.

Yang Mingzhi was very satisfied. He didn't know what danger his wife was worried about, but she was worried about his own safety anyway.

"My dear, there is no need to be afraid. How about you and I go in together and take a look."

Star Tao looked at her husband's smile and nodded weakly.

In this way, Yevlov boldly raised a kerosene lamp and entered the cave, followed closely by Yang Mingzhi.

At this time, the outdoor climate was very cool, but it was cold inside the cave. Yang Mingzhi held his wife's hand and clearly felt her nervousness. Anyway, this girl had experienced a series of bloody wars, but in the darkness, her instincts

The fear was aroused again.

The light of the oil lamp was dim, and Yang Mingzhi knew that his pupils had reached their limit, catching the faintest light in the darkness. There was soil on both sides of him, and the soil was neither wet nor dry.

A few people walked in for more than ten steps, and another soldier walked out with a basket in his arms. He also carried an oil lamp, and urged the new people who came in.

"Haha, think of us as workers too," Yevlov said with a smile.

"Yes, it's difficult to distinguish our identities in the dark. Besides, aren't all workers entering the cave?" Yang Mingzhi said.

Soon, they arrived at the end of the cave, where many lights were hung. There was also a small vent above the cave roof, so there was no risk of lack of oxygen when digging in the cave.

I saw a few workers shoveling soil one shovel after another. They worked very hard, so they were able to dig a cave with a depth of thirty meters in a short time, and they were still digging deeper.

After a while everyone walked out of the cave. Olkin introduced that there were three caves like this, and the reason for this was due to the cement reserves.

He led everyone to his office, a wooden house.

This office is actually his bedroom, and his living conditions are better than others. Because of his position, Olkin must live at the construction site, which makes him feel like a boss.

He took out a simple construction diagram and spread it out on the table.

"Three warehouses will be built in Black Mountain, each with several branches, so that we can store more supplies. The caves have constant temperature and humidity, which can preserve food well. At least twenty small warehouses will be built around Black Mountain.

The granaries are all built on tree stumps, completely avoiding the wet ground..."

Yang Mingzhi and Yevlov listened to his intuitive introduction, and the village chief Kavitsky added: "Currently, this is our limit."

"Really? You have done a good job." Yevlov said happily, "In the future, when the division headquarters is relocated, you will still have great achievements."

Kavitsky smiled and nodded.

However, Yang Mingzhi frowned again, attracting Yevlov's attention. "What? Does my chief of staff and deputy division commander still think there is something wrong?"

Yang Mingzhi was silent for a moment and said slowly: "I have another idea. Maybe we can not only store food, but even produce food! In the cave!" (To be continued.) 8
