The sky quickly darkened, and the surrounding horizon also sank into the darkness.

After a day of trek, the team finally arrived at the destination.

This is the mine where Chen Chen once lived. The team members cleaned up for a long time and were able to move in and rest for the time being.

In the plan, the team will build a small base nearby. First, there will be a residence to shelter from the wind and snow, second, it will be like a base, which can rest and rectify, and the injured will also have a place to hide and recuperate.

Chen Chen still lives in his small fork hole, and did not take away any bedding, pots and bowls, which was very convenient to use. He even used the remaining frozen meat to cook a large pot, allowing the team members who had been running around for a day to drink the hot broth.

Although Chang Chunling was tired, she was even more curious. From Zhao Tie and others, she knew that Chen Chen had lived in this deep mountains and forests before.

"Xiaochen, aren't you afraid of living here alone?"

"There are many shells in the hole, you used to shoot them?"

"I heard that you were going out to fight the Japanese, the Imperial Army was so scared that the Imperial Army gave you a confession. Is that true?"

Chen Chen had no choice but to answer this curious baby, but he answered questions and answered them, but they were all very concise, which made Chang Chunling feel very unsatisfied.

"Let's say it well! Look at these things, they all have their origins." Chang Chunling packed up some things from under the bed, including belts, bullet boxes, goggles, etc., and Chen Chen didn't need them for the time being, so he threw them down.

Chen Chen yawned and slept after eating. He didn't know whether it was to grow physically or gain flesh. He said perfunctorily: "It was all obtained by killing the enemy. It's just this origin, and there's nothing to say. After walking for a whole day, let's go to bed early!"

Chang Chunling picked up a few things she needed, and she was happy, so she was not worried about being so angry. But she didn't want to sleep yet, and she lay down and chatted with Shen Chen in a mess.

"The coal will be transported away tomorrow and you will continue to be arranged nearby. It will probably take several days before you can go home." Chang Chunling said: "Don't think about acting alone. It's very dangerous to be alone in the enemy war zone."

Chen Chen nodded and said lazily: "It won't take long. We don't bring much food. If we don't go to war and seize it, we will go hungry. Besides, I want to act alone and leave everyone alone?"

"Captain Zhao and his team have gone out to reconnaissance overnight, and they should have targets soon." Chang Chunling said quietly: "I can fight guns and I can follow the team to run around, but I haven't even gotten the turn to fight, and I haven't killed an enemy."

Chen Chen opened his eyes and closed them again, and said lightly: "You are looking forward to killing people now, and you should be numb and even bored in the future. However, this year, you have to dare to kill people."

Chang Chunling seemed to understand, thought for a while, and said, "Xiaochen, what did you feel like when you kill someone for the first time? Anyway, I think I would be happy if I beat the devils or traitors to death."

Chen Chen didn't say anything for a while. If he was the first time he killed someone as Damei, he would be fat! But what does it seem like he didn't have it, and he was already numb.

"Go to sleep!" Chen Chen didn't say it again, turned over and closed his eyes.

…………………

The next morning, the team got busy and started to act.

Because of the path to avoid the enemy's blockade, transporting coal has become less dangerous. Just transport the coal to the bottom of the cliff, notify Lao Zhou and the district committee and mobilize the masses to transport it.

Therefore, Zhao Tie, Zhuzi, and two miners, disguised themselves and went out to reconnaissance at night. Today, Shen Chen led the team to protect and transport coal.

And just as Shen Chen was leading people to transport coal, something unexpected happened in the mine.

Just after breakfast, Hong Batou from the mine came to report that the workers were not going down the well.

He Jingtang immediately stood up as if he was touched by electricity, stared at him and asked, "How many people don't go down the well?"

"I don't even get down!" Hong wiped his head and ran out of breath. "I didn't even have to work. I went to ask a few miners who looked honest, and they said."

"What did they say?" He Jingtang sat down with a gloomy face.

Hong said hesitantly: "They said that the mine was deducted too much, half of the food was sand and soil, and there were any tea and water fees, medical expenses, and miscellaneous expenses. If you can't even fill your stomach for a day, it's better not to do it."

He Jingtang snorted and said, "Is this going to fight me? Who is the leader?"

Hong replied with a sad face: "Hundreds of workers don't come, who knows who is the leader?"

He Jingtang gritted his teeth, raised his head and scolded Hong, "Go and check who is the leader. If you can't find out, don't come to see me."

Hong grinned, and had to agree and turn around and leave.

He Jingtang's wife saw Hong leave and then persuaded: "Look, you're so anxious, just think of a solution!"

He Jingtang waved his hand impatiently and said, "What do you know? The military coal has not been sold enough, and it will expire in a few days. That is what the Japanese are asking for when they chase their butts. If the time comes, they will turn against each other."

"Then report to the Japanese and ask them to catch and kill people, but are you afraid that you can't suppress those poor sticks?"

He Jingtang snorted twice and said slowly: "It's a big deal. Don't the Japanese think I'm incompetent? If there is no way, we will give you a few more kilograms of grain. Don't those miners go to work obediently? But it's not time to get cheaper for them."

Besides, Hong Batou, and after greeting a few little boys, he came to find out who was the leader of the strike.

"Hong Touer, how do we check it?" A little head felt that he had no clue and asked Hong Touer.

Hong said with a calm face, "Look at where people gather to discuss things, and catch one first."

"It's not easy to mess with hundreds of workers." Xiaobang grinned and said, "We are only a few people, I'm afraid we can't be afraid."

Hong Batou was not sure, but he couldn't show it yet, so he stared at him and pretended to be tough, "There are mining police in the mines, and the miners are not afraid of guns? Besides, the shopkeeper's explanation is to investigate, can you still make it like a robber come to the door?"

Xiaobang smiled bitterly and didn't say anything. But he cursed in his heart: I want to catch someone to ask you, and now why are you doing a sneaky investigation? Get out of your mother!

Hong assigned his head to the village and Hongshigang separately. He felt that some of the thorns in Hongshigang were suspicious, so he went there in person, thinking of asking for a merit in front of He Jingtang.

When he arrived at Hongshigang, Hong Batou saw a child standing by the roadside. He felt that he might not know him, and maybe he could find out some of the situation, so he asked, "What are you doing here!"

The child glanced at Hong and said, "I'm waiting for someone!"

"Who are waiting for?" Hong leaned his head closer and continued to ask.

"See if my mother is back from begging?" The child continued to look up.

Hong rolled his head and his eyes, and his patience disappeared for most of his time, and asked casually: "I'll ask you, where are you talking together to discuss things? If you want to make sure, I'll buy you a big cake."

The child blinked and pointed. Hong hurriedly left, and the child turned around and ran away.

Hong turned his head in the direction the child pointed for a while, and saw that every family was closed, and there was nowhere to be found.

There are not many people living in Hongshigang, but they are very scattered. He searched and transferred about half of the post, which was really a little tired.

When Hong turned his head to a small dirt house, he heard someone talking inside and immediately leaned closer and raised his ears and eavesdropped.

"I still have more than a dozen kilograms of sorghum here, so you can eat it first." An old man said in a voice.

A man's voice sounded and said, "No, my mother borrowed it from her relative's house and came back tonight. I guess she could deal with it in ten days and half a month." Footsteps sounded and someone walked out.

Hong hurriedly hid behind the house, but unexpectedly the walls of the house were low, so he couldn't hide them, so he hurried to the other hut.

"Who?" someone shouted.

Hong didn't dare to say anything, and saw a pile of firewood and hay, he hid in it.

"There is a thief, come and catch it!" several people shouted loudly.

Hong felt a heavy kick in his butt, and he plunged into the pile of firewood. Then several people rushed over and started beating them all.

"I'm not a thief, not a thief." Hong shouted, but no one listened, and even greeted him with fists and feet.

After beating for a while, the old kiln boss walked out slowly and said, "Let me go, the thief has nothing to do with me."

Everyone stopped fists and stretched out their hands to pull out Hong's heads, which were full of grass.

Hong was so angry that he jumped up and pulled out his gun, cursing: "I beat me so hard, I will kill you one by one."

The old kiln boss pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, isn't this the boss of the shopkeeper He's family? Why do you steal these poor sticks?"

"Who the hell said I was a thief!" Hong stared at his head.

"You are not a thief, what are you doing sneakily?" a miner asked.

Hong was speechless when asked, but couldn't give a reason.

The head of the old kiln thought for a while and said, "Did the shopkeeper He ask you to come and find out who was the leader of the strike? Go back and tell him, it is the leader of my old man. It is to kill or cut, and ask him to come, anyway, the kiln will not be cut."

The miners around also shouted: "There are oils that must be squeezed out of the bones. We have had enough. If we don't return all the grain scraped from us, we can't even think of a truck of charcoal."

Hong gritted his head and shook his gun but did not dare to open it. He had to leave a few harsh words and turned around and slipped away.

Seeing that Hong had left, Lao Yaotou and the big guy smiled knowingly and dispersed.

The child ran to the road to watch again. Laoyao head returned to the hut and lit up the lights. Under the flashing lights, Zhao Tie, Erhuzi, and Zhao Yuankun were sitting in the corner.

The old kiln leader told the story of hitting Hong Ba’s head. Zhao Tie and Erhuzi laughed happily, and after a while, they finally calmed down.

"I just brought the team here, so I let out this breath for the miners and brothers." Erhuzi felt that he was not satisfied and said, "I will rush back now. When Xiaochen and the others finished transporting the coal, they would all come over and directly knock down the mine."

Zhao Tie glanced at Erhuzi and shook his head and said, "The He family's dog legs are easy to deal with with, but don't forget that there are Japanese soldiers nearby, and it won't take long to rush over. If we fight like this, maybe it will affect the people in the mine and village."

Zhao Yuankun agreed and said, "It's really not possible to do it recklessly. I want me to say, you can hit other places first, don't be too close or too far away. When the news comes, He Jingtang may be more honest."

After pausing, Zhao Yuankun continued, "The same thing, as long as there is food, the miners can hold on. No need to spend too much, He Jingtang can't bear it in five or six days."

Zhao Tie nodded and said, "I think so too. I have to use the line of food to make a decision and fight with He Jingtang."

The old kiln leader was thinking about something and suddenly said, "I wonder if you dare to shoot down the artillery tower on the top of the glass?"

Zhao Tie was stunned for a moment and asked quickly: "Uncle, tell me what's going on?"

The top of the gallery is located in the north of the mine, southwest of Yaohuzhuang, only three or four miles away from the two places, and is closer to Hongshigang, only more than two miles away.

Zhao Yuankun also felt that there was a chance when Laoyao Head said this.

"There were three or four Japanese devils in that stronghold, but now it seems that only three books from seven or eight inspection teams are left." Laoyao'er introduced: "It's cold, and every few days the He family will send people to send a few charcoals. I think I have the opportunity to clean up these robber-like bastards."

"Seven or eight three books are fine." Erhuzi said first: "Even if there are a few Japanese, they will still deal with it."

Zhao Tie was still cautious and said, "This situation is very important. Let's first reconnaissance, then find an opportunity to kill this enemy, and prepare guns and ammunition for the miner brothers who were pulled out."

"If I hadn't been to the family, it would be fine to pull out dozens of people." Zhao Yuankun said with some regret: "Now, I guess I can mobilize about ten people."

"Take it slowly, don't worry." Zhao Tie smiled and said, "The team expanded too quickly at once, and I'm afraid that food and weapons will not be available!"

"As long as everyone works together and helps each other, they can deal with food for ten days and half a month." Zhao Yuankun said: "I will mobilize miners now. They are all trustworthy. I hate the Japanese and He Jingtang."

Originally, Zhao Tie wanted to ask Shen Chen's uncle by the way, but he opened his mouth, but felt that it was not appropriate. After all, he and Sun Hongshan didn't know each other, and wanted them to prepare for moving early, so people wouldn't believe him.

Fortunately, Shen Chen's work will be completed within one or two days, and she will personally persuade her, which will be more reliable.

The situation in the mine has been basically understood and the strike was organized almost the same, so Zhao Tie rushed back to the team to prepare for attacking the Sword Head.

If the enemy of the Gangmao can be eliminated, it will not only shock He Jingtang, but also seize some materials and food, which will be beneficial to the miners' long-term persistence.

Before going back, Zhao Tie had to go to the Gangziding to reconnaissance. After all, Laoyao Head provided information, but he didn't know if there were any changes.
Chapter completed!
