Chapter 173 Zijingguan Gold Mine
The person in charge of the defense and reconnaissance operations was the first row of the seventh company. The person in charge was Li Qingshan, the head of the reconnaissance training section of the first district. Chief Li thought that the ranks of the slashing swords were basically comparable in tactical level, but the soldiers' eyes were very poisonous. They had only set off for less than a day and followed the special forces while walking and practicing.
Section Chief Li is also an old Red Army soldier. When he saw the training methods of the special forces, he realized that his vision was a bit outrageous. He had never heard of many training methods. Just a disguise on snow or grass is enough for everyone to learn. He was not very proud. He held the notebook and pen all the way, remembering them all, preparing to save all these methods and teach the scouts of various troops well.
Zijing Pass, as one of the Great Wall Passes, is majestic and magnificent. It has the Juma River in the north and the Eighteen Pans in the south. It is actually a place that military strategists in ancient and modern times must compete for.
Unfortunately, the pass has been occupied by the Japanese army, and there are a large number of Japanese soldiers stationed outside the pass. In order to keep the secret, everyone did not move this army. Instead, they went from the south of the pass to the east, passed a mountain road for more than ten miles, and arrived at Konggezhuang on the south bank of the Juma River.
To the south of Konggezhuang are full of mountains. In a valley not far from the mountain, Zhao Hu led his men to find a dug pyrite, but he did not ask everyone to dig it immediately. Instead, he sent everyone to check around carefully to find a place where the pyrite could be dug out, and dig out pieces of ore to take it to the temporary camping site.
Section Chief Li saw Zhao Hu picking up the iron ore marked with the location carefully and checked it carefully, and couldn't help but smile: "Capital Commander Zhao, don't think I don't understand this profession, but I also know that the pyrite looks golden, but in fact, it's useless except for burning sulfuric acid. If you look so carefully, can you pick out gold?"
Zhao Hu did not answer, and stroked a piece of ore in his hand on the big black bean again. After confirming that there was a golden light, he placed it aside first and then continued to check the ore.
Section Chief Li saw something wrong, picked up the ore, grabbed a handful of black beans, and then stroked it. It didn't matter when he saw it. He was so shocked that he rubbed his eyes and took out a black bean again. Unexpectedly, his hand couldn't help but shake it. He had to take a deep breath, then steadily hold his fingers and stroke it again.
"I'll just go, this is..."
"stop!"
Section Chief Li immediately stopped screaming, the fewer people knew about this, the better. If the Japanese found out, they would not have to send a corps to fight to the death?
He finally suppressed his breath and whispered: "Capital Commander Zhao, how did you know?"
"We must check in advance whether there are any companion mines when we open each mine. If we make a handful of treasures as scrap iron, we will not cry to death?"
"It's true. I really admire you military workers. You can bring your treasures even if you find a mine. Now, we won't have to worry about eating in the future!"
Zhao Hu said: "More than this, after these gold are extracted, I would like to ask you to report to your superiors. In addition to the raw materials from the arsenal, try to buy as much grain and cotton as possible!"
Section Chief Li was a little puzzled: "Just enough food to eat. Now I'm holding cotton everywhere tightly, so it's hard to buy!"
"We have to buy it if it is not easy to buy. In the future, we have to make hot cotton and cotton coats and shoes. If the Japanese block the road, the launching medicine will be stopped and everything must be prepared in advance."
"Okay, let me listen to you. You can buy anything if you have gold!"
When gold and pyrite were discovered, they naturally could not be refined here. Instead, they had to transport the ore to the shore of Yishui Lake in the south from a distance, because when the Mahu Lake was freezing, Japanese motorboats were patrolling from time to time. If smoke was found, everything would be gone.
A row stayed in the same place to guard the special forces team and Section Chief Li went back to report. After all, discovering such a good mine is a big deal for the entire district and district, and a large amount of manpower must be sent to mine. There is no special forces in the early work.
From Huangtuling, he went south through Bamutai and Niwapu to the shore of Yishui Lake. Here, Zhao Hu shook hands with Section Chief Li, and he was about to go to the head to report his work.
After seeing off Section Chief Li, Zhao Hu followed the guide correspondent Ye Feng, who was following him, said: "Xiao Ye, the New Year is coming soon. We are going to go to Dalonghua to buy some New Year's goods. Do you want to go there together?"
Ye Feng touched his pocket and said awkwardly: "This, the section chief has not given me any funding!"
Zhao Hu smiled and said, "It's okay. The third division sent us a border ticket a while ago. It's useless. It's just right to buy some. You can come together, so just lead us a way to prevent misunderstandings."
Longhua Town is the only way to get to Zijing Pass in Yi County. It has been a major transportation route since ancient times and has been prosperous. Although there were many broken walls and ruins after the last Japanese bombing, it still remains a lively place. People from all over the countryside took advantage of this rare peace period to come and buy some New Year's goods and go home.
After the special forces arrived at the periphery of Longhua, they only sent a few soldiers to the town and Xiao Ye to buy some dry food. They carried weapons with them and were well-equipped, but they couldn't guarantee that there were no traitors in the town, so it was better to be careful.
Xiaoye is only sixteen or seventeen years old and stays in the mountains for many years. Due to insufficient nutrition, he has a pale face and thin skin. In fact, most of the Eighth Route Army soldiers are like this. Except for the special forces, they often have some fish and eat meat, and their physical fitness is pretty good.
Ye Feng chewed the mutton bun in his hand and felt it was particularly sweet. He was even happier than during the Chinese New Year. After eating, he realized that he had followed the special forces team and unknowingly bypassed Longhua Town and continued to head east.
"Zhao, Battalion Commander Zhao, where are we going? Why are we going east?"
Zhao Hu patted the rifle on the shoulder and said, "We don't have many tickets in the border area, and I found that your seventh company was not enough ammunition. How about it? Do you want to go to our special forces team? This time I guarantee you will be very eye-opening, but I don't know what your courage is?"
"What? Are you going to fight the Japanese? Okay, I want to go too. I'm so familiar with this area. By the way, I'm very brave. I killed a Japanese when I counter-sweeping in the autumn!"
Zhao Hu patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, just have this courage. Now you can learn from the dog first and let him teach you how to march and fight. This is a good opportunity!"
Ye Feng hurriedly ran towards Gouzi. After this time, the radio station was following Minister Cha, and they couldn't bring him when they evacuated, so Gouzi wanted to go out for a walk and found another radio station. After learning to send a newspaper, the radio station was taken away by Minister Cha before he could memorize it. He was always very concerned about this.
Ye Feng originally thought that Zhao Hu and his friends were going to fight against the Yi County Japanese devils, so he kept introducing where there were strongholds on the road and which stronghold was a coward. However, when Zhao Hu said he wanted to bypass Yi County and go to Laishui, he was stunned: "I am not familiar with Laishui. There is a fourth detachment of Chief Deng Song! Also, has the superior notified me?"
Zhao Hu said: "I have already left a letter to Section Chief Li. This time we are going to the Fourth Detachment to help. I heard that they are short of people and guns now, and they can't even fight against the landlords' armed forces. How can we open up a base? Don't worry, we still have to bring back the extra weapons. Chief Deng Song is not a stingy!"
Zhao Hu led the special forces to Laishui, first, to avoid the Japanese eyeliner and prevent them from coming out to take revenge on the first division, and second, he really wanted to rob a batch of weapons to arm the Deng Song Detachment, because the fourth detachment is more difficult now, and there are not even enough guns. Half of the troops are carrying big blades on their backs.
Zhao Hu looked at the snow-white North China Plain and said to himself: "We are an independent camp, you are an independent brigade, so there are more people than me, so let's meet first.
