Chapter three hundred and sixty first made a lot of money
Almost all the troops in the major's hands and half of the mine protection team were assembled on the Japanese temporary defense line.
Once they were defeated, the more than 200 mine protection teams remaining in the mine lost their command.
Although every Japs in the mine protection team are elites, their individual abilities are very strong, and they are very ruthless in killing people. But without a command, these stragglers can only cause some trouble to a group, and cannot stop them from charging into the mine.
Then the second battalion began to eliminate the Japanese mine protection team members in the mine in squad units.
An hour later, the messy gunfire stopped. Zeng Quan, who only knew how to fight, rushed into the mine himself and rushed out happily.
"Old commander, the mine has been taken down! However, the casualties were a bit heavy."
"The first battalion of the main attack suffered nearly 300 casualties, the second battalion also suffered more than 200 casualties, and the third battalion was the smallest, with only more than 100 people. The whole regiment added up to more than 700 casualties, of which nearly 400 soldiers died.
, many of them died in a bayonet battle with the Japanese mine protection team. Those mine protection teams are really a bunch of old Japanese who kill without batting an eye. Even if we fight against them, we can't take much advantage!"
At the end of his speech, Zeng Quan started to curse, which showed how heartbreaking these casualties were for him.
If Wang Ping were still the regiment leader, such heavy casualties would be enough to make him furious.
But Wang Ping was not angry this time. As the director of the Military Region Arsenal, although Wang Ping's rank has not been promoted, his vision has become much higher.
From the beginning, he was only responsible for his own one-third of an acre, but now he is looking at the entire military region.
Although the casualties of more than 700 people were large, the value of the contents of the copper mine to the military region was greater than these casualties.
If nothing else, Guang Zhouwu alone was worth more than a regiment of the Eighth Route Army, or even a brigade.
"Go first and see what good things are in the mine. Then you will know whether the more than 700 casualties are worth it!" Wang Ping gave an astonishing answer, and then walked to the mine.
When entering the mine, the first thing that caught Wang Ping's sight were two copper-smelting furnaces still emitting black smoke.
"Good thing, the arsenal must build at least one copper smelting furnace like this by then!" Wang Ping shouted with eyes shining.
Then his eyes were attracted by a pile of copper ingots next to the copper smelting furnace.
"There are at least 200 fifty kilograms of copper ingots here, at least ten thousand kilograms of copper!"
"Old Zeng, do you know what this means! The bullet head of a Japanese 38 bullet requires only a little more than four grams of copper. One pound of copper can make at least a hundred bullet heads. If all these copper ingots are made,
Bullets, that’s a million bullets.”
Although the independent brigade has sufficient ammunition, it is only for other units of the Eighth Route Army. Compared with the Japanese who have complete logistical supplies, their logistical reserves are only enough for them to fight a medium-sized battle.
Therefore, one million rounds of ammunition is still an unimaginable number for Zeng Quan.
On the battlefield, even if one hundred bullets kill one enemy, ten thousand bullets can kill at least ten thousand enemies.
Seeing that Wang Ping looked sure, he didn't look like he was lying to him. Zeng Quan reacted immediately and shouted happily: "Old captain, if nothing else, just with these copper ingots, our attack here is worth it, and we can also make a lot of money."
Got it!"
"Also, the number of copper ingots here must be more than two hundred. I estimate there are three hundred, or even more."
At this moment, the guard platoon leader Wang Ping brought from the arsenal suddenly rushed over with a smile on his face.
"Chief, we have found it. Professor Zhou has found it. Wang An, who came with them, is comforting them. In addition, there are many students with Professor Zhou. Many of them Wang An knows, and some of them are Professor Zhou's students, studying chemistry.
Some of Wang An’s classmates are studying mechanics!”
"Take them all back. By the way, you just said that there are also Wang An's classmates here!" Wang Ping was stunned at first and then asked immediately.
"There are more than a dozen of them, and they are all students of Professor Li!" the guard platoon leader replied immediately.
"I understand, there is a lot of equipment here, and it also requires mechanical talents to maintain it. Old Zeng, it seems that we have really made a lot of money this time!" Wang Ping suddenly reacted.
Then he stared at the guard platoon leader in front of him and ordered: "Since there are mechanical talents and we have people, the equipment in the mine can definitely be dismantled. Go tell Wang An and ask him to organize his classmates to dismantle the mine.
Of all the equipment inside, we will move it away as soon as one is dismantled!”
"Old Zeng, you sent people to organize all the absentees in the mine and ask them to help us transport equipment and supplies. As for the captured weapons, ammunition and important supplies, we will transport them ourselves. There are still three hours until dawn. Let's fight for dawn.
Evacuate the entire mine beforehand!"
After the order was issued, Wang Ping led his guards and Zeng Quan to continue searching for valuable seizures in the mine.
In the end, he really found a lot of useful things.
There are 6,000 kilograms of high explosives that can be used directly to produce ammunition, nearly 10,000 yuan in ocean, more than 50 small yellow croakers, and a large amount of grain and other supplies.
"Old leader, we really made a lot of money this time. Not to mention anything else, the food seized was enough for our group to last for nearly two months. Not to mention the gold and silver we seized in the main room of the mine.
, if the commander knew about this, he would definitely be so happy that he couldn't sleep all night!" Zeng Quan, who didn't expect the Japanese to hoard so many things in a mine, couldn't help but sigh with joy.
Then he continued to report: "By the way, the copper ingots hoarded by the Japanese in the warehouse have been clearly counted. They are not two hundred yuan and ten thousand catties, but five hundred yuan and twenty-five thousand catties."
"We are so lucky. We learned from Kuang Gong that in three days the Japanese will transport the copper ingots accumulated for ten days to the northeast, which is now an advantage for us!"
"Bring them all back, and don't leave even a single copper ingot to the Japanese." Wang Ping ordered happily.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with some silver threads visible on his head was brought to Wang Ping by Wang An.
"Professor Zhou, if I remember correctly, you should be the Professor Zhou that Professor Li Xuebin often mentioned, an expert in chemistry!"
It was obvious that Wang An had introduced Wang Ping's identity to Zhou Wu. Zhou Wu quickly said modestly: "I don't dare to be an expert. I am just a teacher. Unlike Director Wang, he is a hero who kills Japanese soldiers on the battlefield. When he arrives at the arsenal, he is the same."
Make great contributions and contribute to the anti-Japanese cause!"
Seeing that Wang Ping wanted to speak, Zhou Wu waved his hand directly, and then continued: "I know Director Wang's purpose of attacking here. I am familiar with Li Xuebin. If you can let him stay, it means that you have something that really impressed him. I have already
More than sixty, one leg has already been put into the coffin. I have been teaching for most of my life, and it has always been peaceful and quiet. Now that the Japanese are here and they have asked me to teach, I will also be enthusiastic!"
"Director Wang, Wang An has told me many things, and I agree to join your arsenal!"
"As for those students, I will take them to your arsenal. However, how many people you can keep in the end depends on your ability. After all, they all have parents, and I can't force them even if I am their teacher.
Do things you don’t want to do!”
Wang Ping didn't expect that the whole process went so smoothly, and the other party agreed before he even opened his mouth.
However, this also made Wang Ping see that the intellectuals of this era all have a passion for love, but they just haven't found a way to vent it!
