"These equipment and accessories in the warehouse are all good things. I want to take them all back!" Li Hao shouted with excitement!
I completely forgot that I had said before coming here that time was limited and the troops were limited, so I could only pick up important equipment and take it away!
Xiao Yuan did not forget and immediately reminded: "Captain, this is simply impossible!"
“It’s unrealistic to take all the more than 100 barrels of diesel from just a corner!”
"There are also these pieces of equipment. Each one weighs hundreds of kilograms. It takes several people to carry it. How can we march with it!"
"Several pieces of equipment in the warehouse are heavier. Each one weighs more than a thousand kilograms. It is heavier than the mountain cannon, and it is so big that even if it can be carried by troops, it cannot walk on the mountain road!"
Li Hao’s eyes were full of reluctance!
The pieces of equipment Xiao Yuan pointed out include generators, motors, and stamping machine tools, all of which are urgently needed for repairing machinery.
If they were all brought back to the base, it might be possible for the armory to make guns directly!
But what Xiao Yuan said is true!
In order to prevent absenteeism and riots, the Japanese exploited their labor force and also deliberately controlled their food to prevent them from having enough to eat!
Over the course of a year, all the prisoners who were in poor health died. The remaining prisoners who were in good health were starved to the point of being skin and bones, with sallow complexion and thin skin!
It would be difficult for them to march in a hurry for more than ten hours, let alone marching with heavy loads!
So if you want to send the equipment in the warehouse back to the base, those who are absent from work must be unreliable!
The only thing that makes Li Hao happy is that there are Eighth Route Army soldiers among the absentees. He formed a guard company based on them. With them watching over the remaining absentees, the guard company can all be freed up to carry supplies!
But just relying on the strength of the guard company to take away one-fifth of the equipment in the warehouse is not bad. As for the large equipment that easily weighs several hundred kilograms and more than a thousand kilograms, it is a no-brainer!
Li Hao is in pain now!
Reason told him: It is absolutely impossible to bring all these equipment back to the base!
But emotionally he couldn’t let go!
At this time, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but remind: "Captain, the sound of gunfire is getting closer and closer to us. We must make a decision immediately: which equipment we take away and which equipment we give up!"
"I don't even want to give up!" Li Hao answered after being silent for a long time!
"Do you know what these pieces of equipment are used for? These are generators, and they are also diesel generators. As long as there is diesel, we can generate electricity in our base. Even if there is no diesel, we can dismantle the generator.
Find a way to transform it into a hydroelectric generator!"
After speaking, Li Hao pointed to several other pieces of equipment and continued to introduce: "This is a motor. As long as there is electricity, they can run. And with motors, we can drive a lot of equipment. Maybe even production machinery and equipment can be driven."
!”
"And those larger pieces of equipment are all electric stamping machines that are urgently needed for repairing machinery!"
"With them, we can not only stamp bullet heads, primer caps, bullet casings, but even many parts of the rifle! If there is a way to solve the problem of the barrel, it is possible to use these pieces of equipment to produce rifles!
"
"They are all treasures, and I don't want to give up one of them!"
"Immediately think of a way. There must be some best-of-both-worlds solution to this problem!"
Xiao Yuan shook his head and replied: "Captain, there is nothing we can do. I have just thought of everything I can think of, but it's useless!"
"Our troops are too small, and there are only a few dozen mules and horses. Those who are absent from work can carry a maximum weight of twenty kilograms each. Any more will affect the marching speed. Therefore, it is impossible for us to bring all the equipment back to the base area, especially those few
A large piece of equipment!”
"No, there must be a way!" Li Hao replied firmly.
Then he frowned and started thinking hard!
Five minutes passed, and while Xiao Yuan was sweating profusely from anxiety, Li Hao's frowning brows still didn't relax!
At this moment, Liu Senyun, the newly formed escort company commander, rushed over!
"Hello, Chief, all absentees are ready and the food is ready!"
"Pork stewed gnocchi is very hungry and delicious. You guys should go and eat some too!"
Li Hao looked at Liu Senyun and suddenly thought of something. Hope rekindled on his face. He stared at Liu Senyun and asked, "How could I forget you?"
"Liu Company Commander, if you stay in the mine for a long time, you might be able to come up with solutions that we can't think of!"
"Don't be in a hurry to eat now, Company Commander Liu. Think about it right now, how can we transport all the equipment in the warehouse back to the base area while the Japanese and puppet troops are chasing us!"
To Li Hao's dismay, Liu Senyun didn't think of a solution and shook his head in reply!
"Chief, the Japanese have been restricting our food and not letting us eat enough, so everyone's physical strength is very poor. Otherwise, the guard company alone can carry several kilograms of stuff!"
Xiao Yuan continued: "Captain, there is no other way. Let's make up our minds about what we will take away!"
"Even if we can't take away the remaining equipment, we won't leave it to the little devils. There are explosives in the ammunition depot in the camp. I will send people to blow them up into scrap metal!"
Li Hao's face showed a painful expression again.
After hesitating for a long time, he made up his mind, pointed to a generator and ordered: "You must bring two diesel generators back, one for normal use and one for backup. Just use mules and horses to carry them back. If four are not enough, use eight!"
"
"Take two motors back too!"
"The stamping machine is too big, I definitely can't take it back, it will have to be blown up!"
"Take away all the remaining small equipment and parts that can be taken away, and distribute them to each soldier!"
"Especially the diesel fuel. If we can't take away the full barrel, we will take half of the barrel and pour the remaining half barrel directly into the camp. When we retreat, we will burn the entire coal mine!"
"Now that we have taken over this coal mine, we cannot continue to leave it to the little devils to make money!"
"Yes, leader!" Xiao Yuan replied quickly.
Just as he was about to direct the troops to move the equipment, Liu Senyun next to him suddenly spoke.
"Captain, although I have no way to transport these equipment back to the base area, I have a way to keep these equipment without falling into the hands of the Japanese alone!"
Li Hao's painful face was once again filled with hope. He stared closely at Liu Senyun and asked, "What can I do? Tell me quickly!"
"If you can keep these equipment and prevent them from returning to the hands of the Japanese, I will consider it a great achievement for you!"
"Thank you, chief!" Liu Senyun replied quickly!
"In addition to the mines that are digging coal and are in normal operation, there are also two abandoned mines!"
"Now that we have seized the explosives, we can move the equipment that cannot be taken away into two abandoned mines, use explosives to blow up the entrances of the caves, and hide them inside the mines!"
"Even if the Japanese reoccupy the mine and start digging coal in the future, they will not touch the two abandoned mines!"
Li Hao's eyes lit up and he shouted: "Good idea, just do it like this!"
"Captain Xiao, you immediately notify the guard company commander Sun Jiawu and call all our available soldiers over to move the equipment!"
"Liu Company Commander, please do some hard work and recruit some people who are in better health from absenteeism to come and help. We have limited time and must clear the warehouse within an hour!"
"Liu Company Commander, you personally command the remaining absentees and go to the granary of the mine to pack the grain. Twenty kilograms per bag. Each absentee will carry one bag during the retreat!"
"All the extra food that cannot be taken away will be hidden in the mines. Not a single grain will fall into the hands of the Japanese!"
