Soon the nearly a thousand prisoners were divided into three groups.
More than 60% and nearly 700 absentees chose to retreat with the independent group!
More than a hundred people and the Central Army officers who showed up just now, and more than a hundred people and the Shanxi-Sui Army officers!
"Now that everyone has made a decision, I respect everyone and will just say one more thing here. After the troops are divided, I wish everyone good luck, successfully escape from the pursuit of the Japanese and puppet troops, successfully escape, and then return to their own troops!"
"Company Commander Chen, give each of their troops forty rifles and two crooked guns, and more ammunition. In addition, each of them will be given twenty kilograms of grain. Each of the two troops will be given a large iron pot.
They retreated on their own and left the mine, trying to at least run as far away as possible before the Japanese came to kill them!"
"Yes, leader!"
Chen Wei didn't understand why Li Hao let them leave and gave away so many weapons and ammunition!
It can be seen that the nearly 300 people who chose to retreat on their own are veterans. If they can join the Eighth Route Army and supplement the Independent Regiment, it will definitely greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Independent Regiment!
But he did not question the regimental commander's order and immediately commanded the troops to distribute weapons and ammunition to them!
Liu Senyun on the side was anxious. When he saw Li Hao sending out eighty rifles, four crooked handles, a large number of bullets and grenades without blinking an eye, he immediately ran to Li Hao and said.
"Chief, if you really give them so many weapons and ammunition, it will be like a meat bun beating a dog and you will never come back. If you give it away, it will be gone!"
Li Hao replied helplessly: "We can't let them break out empty-handed. Even if they choose to retreat on their own, they are still our friendly forces!"
"Moreover, the reinforcements of the Japanese and puppet troops are about to come over. If we divide our troops and retreat, plus they have guns in their hands, we will definitely be able to disperse a lot of the Japanese and puppet troops, greatly reducing our pressure and increasing our chances of successfully breaking through and retreating."
!”
"Also, we don't have anyone to carry so many weapons and ammunition. Instead of blowing them up, we might as well give them to them and kill a few little Japs!"
"Someone is carrying it!" Liu Senyun replied quickly, but the heartbroken expression on his face did not dissipate.
"Chief, the nearly 700 people left behind are basically the Sichuan Army and the Northwest Army who were assigned to the World War II zone. They are no one's favorite troops in the war zone. They are stepmother troops. The other ones are the lower-level soldiers of the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army!"
"While we were digging coal in the mine, we contacted many former Northwest Army and Sichuan Army soldiers. They were all anti-Japanese heroes. Many of them were captured after being knocked unconscious by artillery shells on the battlefield. There is no problem in fighting the Japanese. I can help
They are convinced and suggest that they be directly added to the escort team and equipped with guns!"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" A trace of heartache flashed across Li Hao's face.
But he quickly realized: "You find them all immediately, and the escort team will be directly expanded into a escort company. You will be the company commander, and our two platoon commanders will continue to be the platoon commanders. In addition, we will recruit from the Northwest Army and the Sichuan Army."
A few people will rise up to serve as squad leaders and another platoon leader. I will take care of the weapons, and the rest should be enough!"
"As for those sent out, don't come back. Our Eighth Route Army keeps its word, and the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army also shoulder the role of distracting the Japanese and puppet reinforcements and reducing the pressure on us. We can't let them fight the Japanese and puppets empty-handed.
Let’s fight!”
"The reorganization of the guard company will be completed in twenty minutes. Then I will ask one platoon of the guard company to cooperate with you in reorganizing the remaining absenteeism. Each team will consist of fifty people. The guard company and one infantry squad will watch them and be ready to retreat at any time!"
"Also, arrange for the two squads of soldiers to make food immediately. Use the white flour that the little devils usually eat. The sooner the better, so that everyone can eat well so that we can be on our way!"
"If nothing else happens, the troops will have to travel for at least ten consecutive hours!"
The smile on Liu Senyun's face became even thicker. A reminder actually made him the company commander. This can definitely be called an unexpected surprise!
He immediately replied: "Don't worry, chief, I promise to complete the task!"
As soon as Liu Senyun left with his front foot, Xiao Yuan rushed over with his back foot, with a smile on his face!
"Captain, I'm rich!"
"The prisoners took us to the Japanese steward's room, and we also found a mezzanine in the wall, which was full of oceans and gold!"
"At least 30,000 ocean dollars and gold worth 50,000 ocean dollars, packed in boxes after boxes!"
"The Guard's radio station is also in his room, intact!"
"In addition, we also found a small arsenal in the escort camp. There were almost fifty boxes of bullets and artillery shells in it. There was also a whole box of Jin-made submachine guns, a total of twenty. The submachine gun bullets and box gun ammunition were common, a full two
Four thousand rounds in a box!”
"There are also dynamite, a total of forty boxes of two thousand kilograms. I heard from the prisoners that they are used for mining!"
"The big warehouse in the mine is also full of things, a lot of equipment and oil. I don't know what a stamping machine is. I have to go find it yourself, leader!"
Without saying a word, Li Hao walked towards the escort camp, giving orders as he walked!
"Come on, take me there now to see it. Time is limited. It's definitely not realistic to take them all away. We can only pick up the important things and take them away!"
There were two commandos standing at the door of the coal mine manager. Li Hao saw them at a glance!
When Li Hao walked into the room, he saw the cracked wall that had been opened, with six boxes piled inside.
"Captain, five boxes contain oceans, and one box contains gold. I roughly calculated that the total value exceeds 80,000 oceans!"
"How come there are so many?" Li Hao was also shocked and asked subconsciously!
In his opinion, if he could seize 10,000 yuan in the coal mine, it would be as high as the sky, but he did not expect that the actual result would be eight times higher!
Xiao Yuan quickly replied: "I asked the Japanese steward who captured the prisoners!"
"In order to survive, he just said whatever we asked him. He has no backbone at all!"
"He said that these oceans and gold were the extra profits generated by him deliberately absenting himself from work for two more hours of production every day, which was the money he earned personally. He planned to resell the materials here to make capital, but he did not expect that he had worked so hard
After working hard for more than a year, we finally got it all for our independent group!”
"So that's it!" Li Hao exclaimed with a look of sudden realization.
Then he began to give orders: "As the old saying goes, money moves people's hearts, not to mention there are so many oceans and gold here!"
"If we want to successfully send them back to the base, there are still more than 100 kilometers of mountain roads in between. All kinds of accidents may happen, so the best way is to keep your wealth hidden!"
"It's too obvious to pack boxes for transportation. Find sacks immediately, put all the oceans and gold into sacks, mix them with the grain we captured, and transport them back to the base as grain!"
"You immediately go to the baggage platoon and ask for twenty mules and horses to transport the ocean and gold. During the retreat, the commando team will send out an assault team, and the guard company will send out a platoon to protect these twenty mules and horses!"
Xiao Yuan quickly replied: "Yes, leader!"
Li Hao did not go to the small ammunition depot in the camp.
Although today's independent regiment cannot be said to be rich and powerful, Li Hao still didn't pay attention to the tens of thousands of bullets. After explaining that all the baggage was transported back by mules and horses, he went straight to the coal mine warehouse!
Purchasing equipment is a very important purpose of owning a coal mine. Now that the coal mine has been taken over, you can’t leave empty-handed!
Walking into the warehouse, Li Hao was indeed shocked!
The huge warehouse is filled with all kinds of machines, equipment, and spare parts without classification, both used and new!
In the corner of the warehouse, nearly a hundred oil drums and boxes are piled next to them. At a glance, you can tell that they are fuel used for power generation in coal mines!
Li Hao has decades more experience than Xiao Yuan. Although he has never studied mechanics, he can still roughly guess its basic use after taking a look at the equipment!
After a quick walk around the warehouse, Li Hao knew that he had really made a fortune!
