Heroes of the War of Resistance

Thinking of the Eighth Route Army in Lu Province, it also has its own underground intelligence network.Hu Biao thought that maybe he could contact the intelligence personnel of the Eighth Route Army.They've been here a long time, and there are some things they should know more about.

If the Eighth Route Army really intends to advance into Lu Province to fight guerrillas, Hu Biao may also be able to provide some help.Correspondingly, with the help of the Eighth Route Army, his troops' activities in Lu province would also reduce many unnecessary risks.

With this decision, Hu Biao immediately sent another telegram to the Eighth Route Army, hoping that they would provide a contact person for activities in Zaozhuang.The Eighth Route Army was also very surprised to receive the telegram from Hu Biao.

After forwarding the telegram to Yan'an, Vice Marshal Zhou, who was in charge of intelligence work, was also very surprised: "What is this guy's plan? Could it be that they want to beat the little devil in Zaozhuang?"

Facing Deputy Marshal Zhou's inquiry, the head of intelligence of the Eighth Route Army also smiled and said: "As far as I know, the special operations team commanded by this person often does some unexpected things. But every time they make a move, they never miss Pass.

This time they sent a telegram, hoping that our intelligence personnel in Zaozhuang would cooperate, and it was probably to find out more information about the little devil.This guy is a bit powerful, he can take both sides!It is said that he has cooperated a lot with Boss Dai of the Military Command! "

"And what about his political leanings?"

"Not sure! The only thing that can be confirmed is that this person maintains a friendly attitude towards our army, cooperates with the government a lot, and is a good hand and a ruthless character in fighting devils. The head of the division who was killed in Taierzhuang before , It is said that he did it!"

If Hu Biao heard the conversation between the two, he would be very surprised.Not many people inside the Communist Party know about such secrets, but the Eighth Route Army knows about it.This also shows that the intelligence work of the Eighth Route Army is indeed very powerful!

Chapter Directory Chapter [-] Zhongxing Coal Mine

For the Japanese army who captured Zaozhuang, the Zhongxing Coal Mine, which had made the Japanese army envious before the war, was naturally a spoil that could not be let go.The reason is also due to the high quality of coal in Zhongxing Coal Mine, which is a relatively rare high-quality coal.

Even before the war, the Mining Bureau, which operates the coal mine, thought about covering the coal mine with foreign capital, which might prevent the Japanese army from plundering.It is a pity that the Japanese army, which has a great demand for high-quality coal, simply ignored the so-called foreign-funded coal mines.

Apart from a few concessions, there are really not many foreigners who dare to stay in the war zone.In addition, the flames of war in Europe have already spread. How can the Fuso government, which is dominant in Asia, care about mining factories that only have a layer of foreign capital?

The Japanese army who forcibly occupied the coal mines quickly imposed military control on the coal mines.Before the Japanese army forcibly occupied the coal mine, the management personnel of the mine had already left.Facing the vicious Japanese army, the remaining miners dared to stop them.

The only thing he could do was to leave quickly instead of digging coal for the little devil.Under such circumstances, the Japanese army quickly dispatched some management personnel from the country, and sent a group of prisoners of war to coal mines to serve as miners.

From the perspective of the Japanese army, most of these prisoners of war are young and strong, and they need to consume food even if they are kept.Now sending them to coal mines as coolies can not only solve the problem of shortage of coal mine jobs, but also save costs to the greatest extent.

Even the Japanese troops stationed in the mining area did not treat these prisoners of war as human beings at all.There are two shifts every morning and evening, forcing these miners to go down to work.The food provided can only barely maintain life.In just over a month, dozens of people were exhausted to death.

Some prisoners of war thought about resisting, but facing the little devils armed with guns, any resistance was futile.Over time, these prisoners of war who were held in the mine finally understood that being a prisoner of war not only lost their lives, but also experienced the tempering that life would be worse than death.

After a week or so of reconnaissance and suppression of bandits, the materials Hu Biao stored in the new base can also ensure the consumption of materials for 1000 people for half a month.Temporary wooden houses and simple tents can also accommodate a team of nearly a thousand people.

Hu Biao also selected some cottages with good terrain and locations from the bandit cottages that were cleaned up by the fighting platoon earlier, and kept them.In the future, the rescued prisoners of war who returned to the mountains will also form companies and enter these cottages.

As for the demolished cottage buildings, all available materials were transported back to the base.Using these materials, the soldiers of the spy company also built a large number of wooden houses and tents.Even around the base, fortifications were dug.

Seeing the completely changed base, Xu Sandao and others also said excitedly: "Captain, now the house and food are all ready, and we just need to rescue people. As soon as the prisoners of war arrive, our base will be able to open." Already!"

"That's right! The base has almost been built, and our manpower is limited after all. After the prisoners of war are rescued and returned to the mountain, we will rebuild and repair it. Anyway, this mountain will be our base in the future."

"Captain, when will you act then?"

"Look at the weather! I plan to find a rainy day to attack! Judging by the weather, it is estimated that there will be rain in the next two days! Sandao, I heard from you earlier that the little devil will go to the Zhongxing Coal Mine for a three-day trip. while transporting coal, right?"

"Yes! I checked this information with Captain Guo, and he also said it was true. Unless the railway is paralyzed, the little devil will go to the mine to pull coal once every three days. According to Captain Guo, the little devil has been working since he occupied the coal mine. Never stopped digging coal."

"That's natural! The little devil has such a big shop, and the demand for various materials is also increasing. The coal of Zhongxing Coal Mine is of high quality and is suitable for steelmaking. The little devil wants to make guns, cannons and weapons, so the demand for steel is also increasing." Very big.

In the past, most of their high-quality coal could only be imported from abroad.Now that they have coal from Zhongxing Coal Mine, they are naturally reluctant to pay for it.Coal is free of charge, the miners use prisoners of war, and the coal transported by the little devils costs nothing except transportation costs.

This kind of free thing, the little devil naturally needs as much as possible.This is also the reason why the little devils, after occupying the coal mines, will force those miners to dig hard regardless of the life and death of the prisoners of war.When is the next train? "

"It should be tomorrow evening!"

"Okay! No matter what the weather is tomorrow, act on time in the evening!"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Contact with Captain Guo, and bring him with you on the day of the operation. He knows so much about the coal mine, and he must have his internal support in the coal mine. Before the battle starts, it is best to explain the situation to him, so as not to cause any misunderstandings."

"Then how will the loot be divided after the coal mine is laid down?"

"What's the share? Except for the people he develops, all other prisoners of war belong to us. The cooperation with them must be limited. Benefits can be given, but even if they are given benefits, I'm afraid they won't be able to keep them.

They were just underground intelligence agents dispatched by the Eighth Route Army to Zaozhuang, mainly to inquire about the intelligence of the Japanese army.After the battle is over, I will send a report to the Eighth Route Army and make the first drug transaction with them in advance.They are also looking forward to this business! "

The drugs traded with the Eighth Route Army in the past were sold by the underground intelligence personnel of the Eighth Route Army, and a large sum of money has been exchanged for the Eighth Route Army.For this fund, Hu Biao did not ask the Eighth Route Army to pay, but asked them to buy grain and store it up.

The reason is very simple. After the battle of Xuzhou is over, Hu Biao intends to send a force into the Yellow Flood Area.Now let the Eighth Route Army buy food on its behalf, it will be used for the relief of the victims.The Eighth Route Army will not refuse to help in such matters.

After all, Hu Biao never thought of making money from selling medicines to the Eighth Route Army.But he knows that giving away for free and selling money have two meanings.In the former, the other party will only be grateful and not cherish it, while in the latter, the Eighth Route Army will feel very cherished and make good use of those medicines.

Anyway, many of the medicines that Hu Biao bought from Shanghai before are still stored in the storage space.It's not a big problem to give another batch to the Eighth Route Army.In contrast, the Eighth Route Army, which has tasted the sweetness, also hopes to purchase the second batch of medicines as soon as possible.

The more medicines sold, the more funds the Eighth Route Army could raise.The remaining medicines can also ensure the supply of the rear hospitals.Now that Hu Biao doesn't want money, as long as they buy food on his behalf, the Eighth Route Army will naturally not refuse.

The more things like food are stored, the more confident the Eighth Route Army will be.Even if it was stored on behalf of Hu Biao, the Eighth Route Army temporarily borrowed it for emergency when Hu Biao didn't need it.How could the Eighth Route Army not do this kind of cooperation?

After discussing the action time and plan, Hu Biao and his party, who prepared meals in advance the next afternoon, walked out of the mountain in three batches.On the side of the camp, only one squad of troops was kept to garrison.In a short time, it should be no problem.

Seeing the increasing rain, Hu Biao felt that God was very helpful, so he ordered Xu Sandao to lead people to lurk outside the mining area in advance, and he took a platoon to lurk on the railway line outside the mining area, quietly waiting for the coal to be transported The arrival of the car.

According to Xu Sandao's reconnaissance earlier, most of the coal trucks sent by the Japanese army were accompanied by a small escort.What Hu Biao has to do this time is to solve the escort team that entered the mining area.

Leading a platoon of troops to enter the railway line in advance to ambush, Hu Biao looked at the time and said: "Bow and crossbow team, follow me to the front to ambush, and deal with the patrol team sent by the mining area. The rest of the personnel, hide from the rain on both sides of the railway and ambush! "

With an order, the combat platoon brought along quickly dispersed, while Hu Biao and his party hid on the only way that the little devil patrol team must pass, quietly waiting for the arrival of the little devil patrol team.In order to ensure the safety of the railway, the security force in the mining area will also patrol the railway.

In this way, the enemy's situation can be detected in advance, and it can also avoid being attacked when the railway enters the mining area.Although no one snatched up the coal for the train, the little devils were still worried that if the railway was destroyed, it would affect the steel production behind them.

Hu Biao, who led the troops here this time, planned to blow up the railway specially built for the mining area after looting the mining area.Don't blow up too much, blowing up one section will cause headaches for the little devil, and he has to spend time and energy to repair it.

In that case, next time the little devil rebuilds the coal mine, Hu Biao will bring people to attack again.As long as the northern base forms a fighting force, Hu Biao dares to ensure that the coal mines that the little devils are building in Zaozhuang, or even in Lu Province, will not even think about normal production.

In any case, this is also a protection of national resources.The more mines the little devils dig, the less mines future generations will have.At least one thing Hu Biao knows very well is that during the Japanese invasion of China, countless resources were stolen and dug.

If more resources can be retained, after the establishment of New China, the government will be able to receive them smoothly, and then resume production quickly.What Hu Biao has to do now is to make the little devil's investment not proportional to the return, or even spend money to buy the crime!

After a period of time, when the main force of the Eighth Route Army entered the enemy's rear, Hu Biao believed that the Japanese army would focus more on guarding against the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla warfare.In this way, the combat troops under Hu Biao's command can attack and harass the Japanese army everywhere.

According to Hu Biao's battle plan, the future northern base is the same as the shame battalion in the south.Small fights are not what Hu Biao thinks.He tried his best to make things difficult for the little devil.

Wearing the raincoat seized from the little devil, Hu Biao and the bow and crossbow team lurked in the grass beside the railway, even though they were hit by the rain without moving.As the weather gradually gets warmer, Hu Biao and others don't have to worry about getting a cold and fever.

When Hu Biao led his men to lurk on the railway line, Xu Sandao, who led the main force of the company to the outside of the mining area, listened to the inquiries from the intelligence officers of the Eighth Route Army, and said directly: "Captain Guo, don't worry! This manpower is enough. !"

"Captain Xu, don't be joking! There are nearly [-] little devils in the mining area. How many people do you have?"

"Captain Guo, having too many people doesn't necessarily work! As for the reason, you'll find out later!"

Without explaining too much to Guo Ziming, Xu Sandao still waited quietly.The location where he was lurking was the cargo yard in the mining area.From their lurking position, they could clearly see the coal mines piled up in the freight yard, as well as the vigilant little devils.

Although this location is not the core location of the mining area, it is not far from the little devil's barracks.As long as the freight yard is successfully taken down, the rest of the battle will become quite simple.And what Hu Biao is best at is solving battles quietly!
