Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 107 Difficulties
When the first gunshot was heard, the puppet army platoon leader Niu Changhe was awakened. He hurriedly grabbed the twenty-shot gun and shouted at his men to get ready to go out and fight.

"Damn it, everyone open your eyes. Each of you have to shoot at least ten shots at the sky, but don't fucking provoke Master Ba. As long as the Japanese don't come out, just show your respect." Niu Changhe said swearingly.

These are all basic operations, there is nothing much to say. The Eighth Route Guerrillas would come to harass him occasionally, and he would just use that opportunity to get reimbursed for the bullets he had resold to exchange for other things.

If we fire more guns later, it will consume a lot of ammunition, and then there will be a lot of waste of hundreds of bullets.

It’s a pity that there was no chance to escape, otherwise I would have lost two guns and earned a hundred dollars!
Niu Changhe did not realize the seriousness of the matter at this moment.

Yang Zhongwu also followed Niu Changhe with the old sleeve, ready to act according to the circumstances.

He was unsure now and didn't know how the main force would take down the artillery tower. It would be impossible to convince Niu Changhe as long as the artillery tower was not taken down.

Just as they rushed out the door and ran towards the bunker, they suddenly heard a loud bang, and brick and stone fragments from the nearby turret flew everywhere. One of the fragments directly scratched Niu Changhe's face, leaving a bloody mark!
But Niu Changhe seemed not to notice anything, and stared blankly at the artillery tower which collapsed directly from the middle!
Heavy artillery!

The Eighth Route Army has heavy artillery!
Niu Changhe was an old veteran who had served in the Northwest Army. He knew that it would take at least a 75mm howitzer to cause such damage. The Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was definitely the main force!

When Niu Changhe thought of this, his face turned pale!
What should I do? What should I do? The small sandbag in front of me is not enough for a single shot from them!

Niu Changhe was trembling all over. He had not expected that such a remote stronghold of his would attract an attack from the main force of the Eighth Route Army for some reason. Now it seemed that his life was in danger.
"Platoon leader, platoon leader, let's surrender quickly, otherwise it will be too late!" Although Yang Zhongwu next to him was also very confused at first, he was mentally prepared. He was even more excited that his own people had destroyed the artillery tower, so he recovered from the shock much faster than Niu Changhe.

"Yes, yes, surrender, surrender quickly! The Eighth Route Army treats prisoners well, at least their lives will be saved first!" Niu Changhe woke up as if from a dream, "Where is the white flag? Hurry and hang it up!"

"I have it, I have it!" Yang Zhongwu, who had been prepared, pulled out a piece of white cloth from his arms, "I just bought this and was going to make a sweatshirt, platoon leader, I'll give it to you first."

Niu Changhe didn't think about anything else. He directly unfolded the white cloth and hurriedly put it on Yang Zhongwu's old sleeve. He raised it and shook it while shouting loudly, "Eighth Master, Eighth Master, stop fighting. We surrender, we surrender!"

When Monk Wei saw the white flag, he knew that Yang Zhongwu had done his job, so he rushed out with the assault platoon, each of them holding a large weapon. They rushed to the barbed wire and pointed their cold guns at Niu Changhe and others.

Seeing so many machine guns and submachine guns, Niu Changhe and other puppet soldiers were glad that they surrendered early. This must be the main force of the Eighth Route Army coming down the mountain!
In the battle of Tangjialing, Li Yunlong did not expect to take over another hot potato. Facing the more than 600 rescued miners, Old Li frowned.

"Old Li, what's wrong? You look as if we lost the battle." Although Ren Zhong felt a little regretful that he didn't destroy a blockhouse with his own hands, he was still very happy that the team had won the battle. He felt a little strange when he saw Old Li's face.

"Brother Ren, I'll be honest with you. Look at how the Japanese have tortured our civilians. What do you think we should do with these miners? If we release them, they will probably be caught again as soon as we leave." Li Yunlong said distressedly.

The Tangjialing area is relatively close to the Japanese county town, and most importantly, there is a road. The Japanese will definitely not sit idly by. The current independent regiment is unable to fight the Japanese head-on and cannot defend this coal mine.

"Why not just blow up the coal mine and take all the miners away?" Ren Zhong blurted out.

"Hiss, you said there are more than 600 people. We can't support more than people in Yang Village." Ren Zhong suddenly understood Li Yunlong's worries. The food obtained from the prisoner-of-war camp was not enough to feed the newly added brothers in the camp. The corn was just planted and it was still too early to harvest. In order to survive these few months, Li Yunlong might need to do more side jobs.

In the past few months, all efforts have been concentrated on construction. Apart from Wanjia Town, Li Yunlong's side job was to go to Heyuan for a month. However, the spoils seized in Heyuan were basically given to Zhang Dabiao to develop. Not only did Yangcun not make any money, but there were also more than a hundred horses that needed to be taken care of!
Totally outspending!

Ren Zhong had previously focused on military industry and neglected the food problem of the independent regiment.

"Yes, our Yang Village has a lot more people this year. It is common to go hungry twice in three days. If we take these 600 people back, they will go hungry twice every day." Li Yunlong's face was wrinkled with worry.

"That won't work. Yang Village definitely can't afford it. Old Li, I want to do this. I'll take them to Heyuan. We've developed a lot in Heyuan. We now have more than 20 villages under our control. Then we'll take them to Heyuan and disperse them around the villages. On the one hand, we'll open up wasteland and grow crops, and on the other hand, we'll build another arsenal in Heyuan. It just so happens that these miners will have something to do."

Ren Zhong had already planned to open a new base in Heyuan. According to his original plan, he was going to find an excuse to escape before the counterattack in August and start building a second base in Heyuan.

Because in Yangcun, once the counterattack begins, the Japanese will launch a large-scale mopping-up retaliation in three or four months at most. Yangcun, as an important position near the headquarters, has long been exposed to the eyes of Yamamoto's special forces. The large-scale mopping-up will definitely be the focus of attack. The current independent regiment can't withstand the Japanese's three-dimensional offensive from the sky and underground.

At that time, we will inevitably abandon this place, break out of the Japanese encirclement and launch mobile warfare.

Ren Zhong didn't want to wait until that time for his military industry to be completely destroyed at once, so before that, he had to move out the core production equipment and production capacity in an orderly manner!

The remote mountainous area of ​​Heyuan has richer mineral resources than Anping, the mountains are deeper, the rivers have more water, and there is also the 358th Regiment, the main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, which makes it the best place for Ren Zhong to survive and develop at this stage.

Since there are now miners to deal with this major problem, Ren Zhong naturally proposed to resettle these miners so that the construction of the new base can be implemented ahead of schedule.

Anyway, Yangcun is already on the right track. In terms of technology, the two leaders Xu Jiucheng and Gao Kaiming have basically mastered the implementation and use of the current equipment.

Ren Zhong can now free up time to build a new base.

However, Old Li didn't know Ren Zhong's little plan at the moment. He thought about it and felt that the method Ren Zhong said seemed feasible.

A lot of spoils had been seized in Heyuan before, and the land area was also large. Zhang Dabiao and his team are now developing the system of integrating military operations with agriculture. Neither the special forces nor the guerrillas are off-duty. Even Zhang Dabiao himself has begun to reclaim wasteland and cultivate crops in the way of Yangcun, and to ferment organic fertilizers.

Although the presence of these 600-plus miners would make Zhang Dabiao feel uncomfortable for a while, it would still be much better than Yangcun if he could grit his teeth and hold on until the autumn harvest.

"I think it's a good idea! It's decided. I'll ask Wei Dayong to select a squad from the assault platoon, and then select a dozen members from the local guerrillas to form your guard team. It's dozens of miles from here to Heyuan, so you must avoid the strongholds and hide during the day and travel at night!" Li Yunlong was a man with strong decisiveness. After thinking it through, he agreed decisively.
