Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 143 Your Worker Grandpa Is Here
The entire Jingxing Coal Mine battle took a total of more than 70 minutes.

Except for some problems encountered by the third battalion, the offensive of the first and second battalions went very smoothly.After the soldiers got rid of all the devils in the mining area, they immediately started to sabotage.

In order to facilitate the next work, it is also to understand the specific casualties of the soldiers.Commander Yang and Captain Han led the staff and moved the headquarters to the new mining area in East Wangshe.

As soon as they arrived at their destination, they bumped into the Third Battalion Commander Gao Ding and Liu Baosen head-on.

After seeing his regiment leader and Comrade Commander, Gao Ding led the underground guerrilla team to the two of them.

"Let me introduce to you guys, these comrades are the comrades of the underground guerrilla workers. They gave us a lot of help in the battle just now, otherwise our battalion really couldn't solve the fortress of the little devil so easily. "

"The two leaders behind me are Commander Yang of our Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Division [-] and the head of the Third Regiment."

Through the vivid description of the third battalion commander, Commander Yang learned that these people performed very well in the battle just now, and even played a decisive role.

This made him more and more interested in the burly man in front of him. Even in his position, he still admired those brave and resourceful fighters.

Moreover, the opponent's height is actually similar to him, which is rare even in the entire base area.What's more, the opponent can actually maintain this figure under the long-term oppression of the devil.

Just as Commander Yang, full of confusion, was about to greet Liu Baosen.The other party was muttering words, and his eyes became brighter and brighter, as if he had thought of something.

When Commander Yang was hesitating, the big man directly stepped forward and held his hand, and then said very excitedly:

"Political Commissar Yang! I really didn't expect you to be the commander-in-chief of our operation this time! I have known you for a long time! It is my honor to see you again after so many years!"

Except for the underground worker guerrillas, everyone present already understood what happened.The name of the political commissar and the accent of the other party, the answer is basically written on the face.

"It turns out that you used to be in the Northeast Army. It seems that we fought against each other a few years ago. It's not like we didn't know each other."

This sentence made Liu Baosen a little more embarrassed, but it didn't affect his enthusiasm, after all, he was his own now.

"Hey, I'm just a small company commander, and I'm not worthy to be your opponent. The past is over, and it's not honorable to say it. Everyone knows about our Northeast Army's previous missions."

"At that time, my old troops were beaten all over the ground by Division H, and everyone in the division has heard of your name."

"Later, when I was in the mine, I heard that you killed a lieutenant general! Take it easy!"

Seeing how harmonious the atmosphere is now, Commander Yang finally asked a question that he had held back for a long time.He pinched the opponent's arm full of strength, and said curiously:
"I see that the other comrades in the mine are very thin. Why doesn't your physique seem to be affected at all? Is there any other way for you to get food in this ghost place?"

This sentence made the faces of the underground workers' guerrillas change slightly, and the original joy on their faces disappeared.It was as if he had returned to the mine all of a sudden, back to those depressing days.

"This reason is very simple to say. I am the person with the most combat experience in the mine. In order to keep me fighting, everyone will give me a part of the small amount of food every time. Our team is the entire east. The hope of the Raja Mine."

"Fortunately, you are here now, otherwise we don't know how long we can go on like this."

This heavy topic caused everyone present to fall into silence. In the end, it was Commander Yang who broke the deadlock. He patted the other party's thick shoulder and said:

"We're here and we'll take you home in a while."

The next task is to arrange the work of destroying the mining area. Compared with the outsiders like the third regiment, the comrades of the guerrilla team are more familiar with every corner of East Wangshe.

And about this issue, Liu Baosen had already thought about it when his comrades in the First Military Region contacted him.Facing the expectant eyes of everyone present, he announced his plan one by one.

The first thing to do is to call out all the workers in the mine.

In order to plunder these coal mine resources, the devils almost used miners and prisoners of war as consumables.These beasts are not at all worried that over-squeezing will kill people. In their eyes, the workers of the Republic of China are no different from ants.

Although the Eighth Route Army and Xiaotian's defenders were fighting in full swing just now, most of the miners who worked underground day and night did not know that the battle had already started.

Calling out these new forces, those workers who are familiar with the environment can provide great help to the Eighth Route Army.

The main reason is that the Jingxing Coal Mine is too big, with an area of ​​more than 40 square kilometers, and the 2000-odd people in the third regiment alone are not enough to see it.

If you want to carry out the sabotage work more thoroughly, you must actively use the power of the masses.

The second thing to do is to find professional people to guide the blasting work.

After the battle, the engineers of the third regiment had already begun to destroy the mining area.They set explosives everywhere, and various facilities were bombed to pieces.

However, there are specializations in the art industry, and the progress of the temporary part-time engineers is very slow.The huge boilers and tall chimneys in the mining area are still standing, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that they have not suffered fatal injuries.

At this time, we cannot blindly increase the dose of explosives, which will not only fail to achieve the purpose of destruction, but may also cause casualties.

At this juncture, the importance of professionals is reflected.

The Jingxing Coal Mine used to be an industry owned by the Germans for a while, and there were many engineers from the Republic of China who had learned advanced technology.Three years ago, Shimen fell too quickly, and many people were captured by the devils before they had time to run far.

If you can get their help, then it is a professional counterpart, after all, destruction is always easier than construction.

The last thing to do is to prepare the logistics support work.

On the one hand, it is because the workers who worked hard in the mine were abused and malnourished all the year round, and many of them went down the mine with illness for a long time.

Saving people is one of the main purposes of this operation. Without medical treatment, at least half of them will die on the road.

On the other hand, in order to deal with emergencies, the mine itself is a place full of dangers. During the process of destruction and blasting, dangers such as collapse and smashing are very likely to occur.

Looking at Liu Baosen, who was talking with confidence as usual, everyone had to admit that the man from the Northeast had done his homework well.

After listening to his plan, Commander Yang praised him, and immediately ordered the soldiers of the third regiment to carry out the order.Head Han personally led a company of comrades, and went to various mines to look for workers under the instructions of the guerrillas.

After almost half an hour, 80.00% of the engineers were found.These more than 20 middle-aged and elderly people who are somewhat thin are discussing plans around the command post.

One of the oldest was the first to speak, and he seemed to have a lot of authority among the engineers.When the old man spoke, the others immediately remained silent.

"Don't talk nonsense, the devil may come at any time. There is an oil storage area at the junction of the old mining area and the new mining area. Recently, the devil's train only took away the coal mine. There are at least 100 tons of kerosene there."

"Split out a few people and lead the comrades to use yellow explosives and kerosene together. No matter how strong the thing is, it can't stand this kind of construction."

As soon as this plan came out, everyone's eyes lit up.The kerosene Eighth Route Army would not need it, and even if all the fighters of the four regiments were gathered together, they would not be able to take these supplies away.

Who doesn't love a way to destroy both kerosene and equipment.

After someone started, everyone's thoughts flooded in, and soon another plan was made.

"When our team led people to explore the mines last month, we found traces of groundwater in all three mining areas. If we can use enough yellow explosives to blast, there is a high probability that we can flood the mines at once."

If coal is over-mined in an area, it can hollow out the ground and create unsupported cavities.

At this time, once the pressure is applied on the key points, the collapse will form and lead to water-conducting cracks in the groundwater.As the cracks grow larger, groundwater gushes out in large quantities.

After calculations by several geological, hydrological, and surveying engineers, they determined the feasibility of this plan.

It took a total of half an hour to formulate the plan, and then the engineers followed the soldiers to various areas to assist in the destruction work.

With the guidance of professionals, all actions become overwhelming.The boiler burst, the engine blew up, and even the huge chimney, which could not be hugged by a dozen people, was blown to pieces.

After a huge explosion, the ground seemed to be tens of centimeters shorter.The turbulent groundwater submerged the three mining areas abruptly, and there were even signs of overflowing.

With the help of workers, more than 100 houses in the Jingxing Coal Mine were gradually destroyed.

The oldest engineer did not follow the soldiers of the third regiment.His body is not very good, and he is not good at running.

At the invitation of Commander Yang, the two came to a coal storage area together.Looking at the coal mines that have been mined in front of them and piled up like mountains, they sighed endlessly.

These materials cannot be moved away, and they can only be cheap for devils if they are placed here.

Sensing the reluctance of the old man beside him, Commander Yang took the initiative to explain to him:

"What the devils have now, we will have in the future. After the war is over, our own factories will pop up one after another. At that time, let other countries see what it means to have a large land and abundant resources."

After this sentence was finished, the soldiers of the third regiment carried the barrels full of kerosene and began to pour kerosene onto the coal mountain.Immediately, the fire went down, and many coal mountains began to burn blazingly.

With the smooth progress of various operations, Commander Yang also breathed a sigh of relief.

In the Jingxing Coal Mine, all kinds of coal mining and transportation machinery will be destroyed by them.These are all imported equipment, which was the only one in the Republic of China, and the devils at most used the gadgets produced by themselves.

However, the Jinpu, Pinghan, and especially the Zhengtai railways have been severely damaged by their own side. Even if the devils transport the machinery from the mainland, there is no way to send it to Jingxing.

What's more, the equipment still needs to be installed and debugged, and the work cannot be started without skilled workers.Counting all the miscellaneous things, it is considered fast to resume work within a year.

Suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire in the distance.Although the sound was not very obvious due to the distance, it was still caught by the keen Commander Yang.

This immediately made him realize that it was the devil's reinforcements.And judging from the position, it should be Ding Wei's new direction.

------------

On the long Zhengtai line, the Japanese army only deployed the fourth, eighth, and ninth incomplete independent mixed brigades.The area where the Jingxing Coal Mine is located is precisely the responsibility of Mizuhara Yoshishige.

The reason why the word incomplete is used to describe it is that in August last year, the [-]th Independent Mixed Brigade was beaten to a half by the [-]th Brigade of the [-]th Division.

In that battle, even the major general Yoshishige Mizuhara almost died in Chenzhuang. Since then, the strength of this mixed brigade has not been replenished.

When the entire Zhengtai line was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, Shimen's Mizuhara Yoshishige immediately couldn't sit still.

The old devil knew that if he didn't do something at this time, the best outcome that awaited his fate was to be transferred to the reserve service.

But the entire Shimen didn't have any troops that could be used. Most of the troops of the Eighth Brigade had their own missions, and those devils were scattered to various counties and strongholds.

After statistics, the number of soldiers he can use now is actually only 100.

In order to save the current chaotic situation, he decided to take the brigade out in person.From Shimen all the way to the west, support various strongholds along the Zhengtai Line.

Although the 100 people were a temporary patchwork team, they were fully equipped with weapons and equipment.In addition to rifles, there are 36 light machine guns and ten Type [-] heavy machine guns.

As the core of the tactics, forty grenades were brought, and two [-]-type infantry guns were also transferred from the city defense army.

If these soldiers cooperate properly, they are definitely a strong force.

Mizuhara Yoshishige knew that there was a high probability that the railway would not be available at this time, so he mobilized a large number of trucks and sidecar motorcycles.

Fortunately, it is not far from Jingxing Coal Mine, their first stop, and it takes about two hours to reach it on a road of more than 40 kilometers.

What they saw and heard along the way made these devils tremble with fear. After three years of fighting with the Eighth Route Army, it was the first time they had seen the other side's mobilizing actions.

Thinking that the Jingxing Coal Mine might be destroyed by the enemy, the old devil Mizuhara Yoshishige kept urging his soldiers to speed up the pace, and even the necessary investigation was omitted by him.

When they were still five kilometers away from the coal mine, they saw bursts of black smoke rising from a distance.

The old devil suddenly felt his eyes go dark, as if the sky had fallen.
