Hong Tao immediately accepted the order and said: "Director, I understand, let's do it now!"
"I'll go to the mine and have a look. There must be a lot of equipment for coal mining in the mine. Maybe we can find some useful ones!" The explosives alone weighed five thousand kilograms, which showed that the scale of this coal mine was larger than I imagined.
I am full of expectations for the mine in front of me.
As soon as he entered the mine, lighting came into Wang Ping's field of vision.
Wherever there is light, there is electricity. In such barren mountains and ridges, it is definitely not practical to bring in wires. Then there is only one possibility, generators. The mines have the necessary generators to build an arsenal.
Sure enough, just after walking a few dozen meters along the wire, a roar reached Wang Ping's ears.
Pushing open the warehouse door, two generators appeared directly in front of them. One generator was running at high speed, and the other generator was not moving. It must be a backup.
"Haha, this is a treasure, we have to move it all back!" Wang Ping exclaimed happily.
"But, factory director, these two things are too heavy. Seven or eight people may not be able to move them. We don't have a car and we are short on time. How can we move them back!" Zhang Hao, who hurried over, frowned and asked.
Wang Ping was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses.
"There is a way! With so much equipment in the mine, there must be technicians who maintain the equipment. They can maintain the equipment, repair the equipment, and they can also dismantle the equipment and arm the equipment. Find them immediately. As long as you find them, the equipment can be dismantled.
Take them all back with you!"
Next, Wang Ping found crushers, cutting machines... various equipment in the mine.
Although these equipment cannot be used to make weapons or bullets, Wang Ping is confident that as long as he takes them back, they will definitely be useful.
While Wang Ping was admiring his trophies in the mine, Hong Tao and a group of people rushed in excitedly.
"Director, we found them. There are thirteen people in total. Professor Li is the captain of the maintenance team!"
Having said this, Hong Tao went directly to Wang Ping's ear and whispered: "Director, we have made a fortune this time. Professor Li is a professor of mechanics at a university in Beijing, and the remaining twelve people are all his students."
.They were deceived by the Japanese. If we can recruit them to our arsenal, our arsenal will definitely become even more powerful."
"If you can recruit them, I will remember you when I go back!"
After saying that, Wang Ping stared at Professor Li in Hong Tao's mouth with a smile on his face and said: "Professor Li, to be honest, I am the director of the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. Now we have nothing in the arsenal, so we have no choice but to target Xiao
These equipments are in the Guizi Coal Mine. Therefore, I hope that Professor Li can work with the students to help us dismantle these equipments, transport them back to the base area, and then arm them. By then, our Eighth Route Army will be grateful!"
"I know the Eighth Route Army, you are the one who defeated Pingxing Pass. This is how you defeated the Japs!" After saying that, Professor Li gave Wang Ping a thumbs up!
Then he explained to the students behind him: "Students, they are the Eighth Route Army, the army that fights the Japanese. Now they need equipment, which we usually maintain. But they don't have cars, only people. So, we have to help get all these equipment."
Dismantle it into parts, wait for the Eighth Route Army to transport them back to the base area, and then arm them!"
"Everyone move, comrades from the Eighth Route Army have said that the Japanese are rushing here. It will take up to an hour to dismantle all the equipment. If we don't have enough manpower, we will call the Eighth Route Army. They will arrange manpower for everyone. Start taking action now!"
Two hours later, the sound of gunfire could be heard faintly on the highway not far away.
With the help of more than a dozen knowledgeable students, Wang Ping dismantled and transported one piece of equipment back to the base area.
At this time, there was only one running generator left in the entire mine that had not been dismantled, and there were nearly 100 workers out of the 2,000 workers. Sufficient manpower would surely be able to transport the generator back to the base easily.
"Professor Li, how long will it take to complete the demolition?"
"Ten minutes!" Professor Li, who had spent two hours with Wang Ping, was very satisfied with Wang Ping's straightforwardness and answered quickly.
At this time, due to the help of nearly a hundred Eighth Route Army soldiers who were absent from work, there were still nearly two platoons of troops in the mine.
After hearing Professor Li's answer, he immediately ordered Hong Tao: "Company Commander Hong, I will leave you a platoon to protect Professor Li and the generator back to the base. The others will follow me to reinforce your battalion commander. If possible,
I plan to bite the Japanese reinforcements hard."
Hong Tao knew very well the importance of Professor Li and a dozen students to the arsenal. Without a word of nonsense, he directly promised: "Please rest assured, director, unless I die, I will protect Professor Li when he returns to the base!"
Seeing Wang Ping's eyes turning to himself, Professor Li said readily: "Director Wang, go ahead. Fighting the Japanese is important. We will listen to Company Commander Hong and escort the generators back to your base successfully to re-arm you."
stand up!"
Wang Ping didn't waste any time and started to give the order directly: "Stay the first platoon, the second platoon and all the remaining machine gun groups will follow me to reinforce Battalion Commander Yang!"
Yang Xiong led a main company and a district team from the third division, plus the two mortars and two heavy machine guns he brought, and had already blocked the Japanese and puppet troops four times, almost every one kilometer.
position.
Although mortars and mines helped Yang Xiong a lot, they even saved the lives of many of his soldiers on many occasions.
However, a team of nearly 200 people still suffered nearly 100 casualties.
However, the Japanese and puppet troops suffered even greater casualties.
One battalion of the Imperial Army had more than one company left, and the Japanese infantry squadron also lost more than half, with a casualty ratio of more than one to two!
When Wang Ping rushed over, Yang Xiong was leading people to retreat to the last preset defense line.
As for the Japanese and puppet troops behind them, leave it to the guerrillas to sneak attack them along the way, slow them down, and buy themselves time.
"Director, why are you here!" Yang Xiong asked with surprise and worry.
"Our people have withdrawn from the coal mine. Tell me about the situation here!" Wang Ping asked directly without any nonsense.
After learning that the troops in the third division had lost their comrades, a trace of worry quickly appeared on Wang Ping's face.
"Captain Zhang, your blocking mission has been completed. Because your company has already suffered a lot of casualties, I will not force the next battle. You have two choices. Continue to attack us and severely injure the Japanese in front of you. The second principle is
Retreat immediately. Of course, the weapons and ammunition we promised will definitely be given to you, one bullet at a time."
Zhang Hao, the team leader from the same district, looked at each other and replied with a serious face: "Chief, we are willing to stay and continue to fight the Japanese. Today our casualty ratio with the Japanese is one to two. This has never happened before, even if the whole company is wiped out.
It’s worth it too!”
"Okay, I'm sure you'll be glad you made your decision in a few hours!"
"Battle Commander Yang, I brought a platoon, a heavy machine gun, a mortar, and six more machine gun groups and six light machine guns!"
"Since there are only two hundred Japanese and puppet troops left in total, and only seventy or eighty Japs left, then eat them all in one bite!"
Zhang Hao and the captain of the district team opened their mouths with expressions of disbelief and shock.
Yang Xiong, on the other hand, did not show any surprise. Instead, he was very relieved and supported: "What a fool. The Japanese suppressed him along the way. He has long wanted to take revenge. Director, give me the order on how to do it!"
