Chapter 347 Windfall!
Hong Tao immediately took the order and said, "Director, I understand, let's do it now!"
"I'll go to the mine to see. There must be a lot of equipment for mining coal in the mine. Maybe we can find some useful things for us!" The explosives alone are 5,000 kilograms, which shows that the scale of this coal mine is larger than I imagined, and I am full of expectations for the mine in front of me.
As soon as he walked into the mine, the lights reflected into Wang Ping's vision.
There is lights and electricity. In such wilderness, it is definitely unrealistic to bring in wires. Then there is only one possibility: motors and mines have motors that are necessary to build an arsenal.
Sure enough, after walking along the wire for dozens of meters, a roar came to Wang Ping's ears.
When I opened the warehouse gate, two motors appeared directly in front of me. One motor was running high and the other motor was not moving, so it must be a backup.
"Haha, this is a treasure, you have to move them all back!" Wang Ping shouted happily.
"But, factory manager, these two things are too heavy, and seven or eight people may not be able to move them. We don't have cars and time is tight, so how can we move them back!" Zhang Hao, who rushed over, frowned and asked.
Wang Ping was stunned at first, but he quickly realized.
"There is a way! There are so many equipment in the mines, so there must be technicians who maintain these equipment. They can maintain equipment, repair equipment, and dismantle equipment. Go find them immediately. As long as you find them, these equipment can be dismantled and taken back!"
Next, Wang Ping found a crusher, a cutting machine, and various equipment in the mine cave.
Although these equipment are both weapons and bullets, Wang Ping is confident that it will definitely be useful if he brings them back.
Just as Wang Ping was admiring his spoils in the mine, Hong Tao rushed in with a group of people very excited.
"The factory director, I found it, there are thirteen people in total. Professor Li is the captain of the maintenance team!"
Speaking of this, Hong Tao directly approached Wang Ping's ear and reported in a low voice: "Director, we have made a fortune this time. Professor Li is a mechanical professor at a university in Beijing, and the remaining twelve people are his students. They were deceived by the Japanese. If they could be recruited to our arsenal, our arsenal would definitely be more powerful."
"If you can recruit them, I will go back and remember you for your merit!"
After saying that, Wang Ping stared at Professor Li in Hong Tao's mouth with a smile and said, "Professor Li, it's not to be hiding. I am the director of the Jin-Cha-Hebei Military Region Arsenal of the Eighth Route Army. Now our arsenal has nothing, so we have to focus on these equipment in the Japanese coal mine. Therefore, I hope that Professor Li can help us dismantle these equipment with the students, transport them back to the base area, and then arm them. At that time, our Eighth Route Army will thank you very much!"
"I know that the Eighth Route Army is the one you can fight Pingxingguan. This is what you are fighting against the Japanese!" 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 troops that fought the Japanese. Now they need equipment, which is what we usually maintain. But they don't have cars, only people. So, we have to help dismantle all these equipment into parts, and after the Eighth Route Army is transported back to the base, we will arm them!"
"Everyone has moved. Comrade Eighth Route Army said that the Japanese are rushing here. At most, we have to dismantle all the equipment. If there is not enough manpower, we will find the Eighth Route Army. They will arrange manpower for everyone, and now we will start the action!"
Two hours later, there were already vague sounds of gunfire coming from the road not far away.
There were more than a dozen students who knew how to help, and Wang Ping dismantled one piece of equipment and transported it back to the base.
At this time, there was only one running motor left in the mine and it was not dismantled. There were nearly a hundred people absent from work. Enough manpower would definitely be able to transport the motor back to the base area easily.
"Professor Li, how long will it take to finish it!"
"Ten minutes!" Professor Li, who had been with Wang Ping for two hours, was very satisfied with Wang Ping's cheerfulness and straightforwardness, and answered very quickly.
At this time, due to the help of nearly a hundred Eighth Route Army during the absence of work, there were 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. Be sure to protect Professor Li and the motor back to the base. Others come with me to reinforce your battalion commander. If possible, I plan to bite the Japanese reinforcements."
Hong Tao knew very well the importance of Professor Li and more than a dozen students to the arsenal. He didn't say a word of nonsense and directly promised: "Please rest assured by the factory manager. Unless I die, I will definitely protect Professor Li back to the base!"
Seeing Wang Ping's eyes shifting to himself, Professor Li said readily: "Director Wang, go, fighting the Japanese is important. We will listen to Commander Hong, escort the motor successfully back to your base and re-arm you!"
Wang Ping didn't say anything nonsense and started to give orders directly: "Leave the first row, the second row and all the remaining machine gun teams came with me to reinforce Battalion Commander Yang!"
Yang Xiong led a main company and a district team in the third division, plus the two mortars and two heavy machine guns he brought, and had already attacked the Japanese and puppet troops four times, with a blocking position almost every kilometer.
Although mortars and landmines helped Yang Xiong a lot of help, they even saved the lives of many of his soldiers.
However, the team of nearly 200 people still suffered nearly 100 casualties.
However, the Japanese and puppet troops suffered greater casualties.
There was more than one company left in a battalion of Imperial Army, and more than half of the Japanese infantry squadron had lost, with the casualties exceeding one to two!
When Wang Ping rushed over, Yang Xiong was taking people to retreat to the last preset line of defense.
As for the Japanese and puppet troops behind him, they were handed over to the guerrillas to attack them along the way, slowing them down and buying themselves time.
"Manager, why are you here?" Yang Xiong asked in surprise and worry.
"Our people have evacuated the coal mine. Tell me about the situation here!" Wang Ping asked directly without saying nonsense.
After learning that the troops in the third division had lost their partners, a hint of worry quickly emerged on Wang Ping's face.
"Company Commander Zhang, your blocking mission has been completed. Because your company has suffered heavy casualties, I will not force you to fight the next battle. You have two choices, continue to work with us and severely damage the Japanese in front of you. The second principle is to retreat immediately. Of course, the weapons and ammunition we promised will definitely give you a lot of bullets."
Zhang Hao looked at each other with the captain of the district team and replied with a serious look: "Long, we are willing to stay and continue to fight the Japanese. Today, the casualties between us and the Japanese are one to two, which has never been done before. Even if we fight all the entire company, it is worth it!"
"Okay, I'm sure you will be grateful for your decision in a few hours!"
"Battleman Yang, I brought a platoon, a heavy machine gun, a mortar, and another six machine gun teams and six light machine guns came over!"
"Since the Japanese and puppet troops have only two hundred left and the Japanese are only seventy or eighty left, then eat them in one bite!"
Zhang Hao and the district team captain opened their mouths directly, looking shocked in disbelief.
Yang Xiong did not show any surprise expression, but instead supported him with relief: "Damn it, he was suppressed by the Japanese along the way, and he wanted to take revenge. Factory Director, please give orders, what should I do!"
