Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 259 The Independent Regiment is a sowing team, the Independent Regiment is a propaganda mach

As the sporadic gunfire from the Japanese in the field was completely eliminated, there were almost no Japanese left alive.

It was at this time that the main force of the Third Battalion officially began to enter the scene to clean up and shoot each Japanese corpse.

The third battalion commander, Wang Huaibao, immediately ordered: "Pay attention to the follow-up shooting. Make sure to shoot twice in the chest and once in the head. Our minister hates to see the devil's prisoners the most!"

"Did you hear that?"

"heard it!"

"heard it!"

......

In the Japanese camp that had almost become a ruin, responses came one after another, and some light-hearted emotions were suppressed in these responses.

Li Yunlong happened to be walking inward from the outer position at this time. He could no longer hold back when he heard Wang Huaibao's voice and the responses from his comrades. Old Yu's consecutive killings of prisoners had led these guys astray. Now they would not leave any Japanese alive in a war.

Shaking his head, Li Yunlong continued to walk forward, watching the soldiers starting to clean up the battlefield. The pointer just pointed to half past two, which was usually the most sleepy time for the Japanese. Unexpectedly, the battle was already over.

Not only did the third battalion commander Wang Huaibao not expect this speed, even Li Yunlong himself did not expect it.

fast.

It's just too fast.

"Captain, we have basically completed the clearing of the Japanese in the camp. There are no Japanese alive now."

Li Yunlong nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Captain, we just opened the dormitory that the Japanese had arranged for the miners and let out about 700 to 800 people, all of whom were strong laborers captured from the surrounding villages.

How do you think we should deal with this?"

Wang Huaibao reported to Li Yunlong.

Hearing this feedback, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up. Isn't this the job we are here to do this time?

I, Old Li, want Old Zhao and Old Yu to know that we are not only capable of fighting, we, Old Li, can also do propaganda work. This time, our independent regiment is not only a vanguard that can move in and out quickly, but also a seed drill and a propaganda team.

"Wang Huaibao, go gather all these miners together. I have something to say to them."

"Yes!"

In a short while, all the miners were gathered together, and the soldiers of the independent regiment thoughtfully brought various foods from the warehouse to the miners.

Many people were extremely hungry. The wheat that had not been ground into flour and the rice that had not been cooked were stuffed into the mouths of the miners and chewed non-stop.

I guess they are starving enough.

While the miners were eating, Li Yunlong began to publicize the policy to them: "I am Li Yunlong, the commander of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.

I know that everyone was captured and suffered a lot.

We found a lot of stuff from the devils, except for weapons and ammunition, so take some of them with you when you leave, so you can use them on the way."

Many miners in the field were deeply moved and felt like they had seen the light of day again.

This copper mine had been taken over by the Japanese devils for just over a year, and four to five hundred of the captured miners had died here. The surviving miners had never expected that a miracle soldier would suddenly come to rescue them.

Nowhere to be found!

"But I have one more thing to tell you. This time we took down this copper mine, firstly to rescue everyone, and secondly to dig out the copper ore to make bullets to shoot these damn Japanese devils.

So, if you are willing, you can stay and continue mining, or send the mined copper ore to the Changzhi Iron and Steel Plant, which is seventy or eighty miles away, and we will have someone to collect it.

The price is quite fair. We will give you a piece of cloth for every 1,000 kilograms of copper ore you send to the steel plant!

If you feel that cloth is not enough, we still have salt, grain and farm tools to exchange with you at an equal value.

I will never let anyone suffer any loss!"

Li Yunlong's voice echoed in the venue, and the miners were shocked and excited.

What?

And such good things?

If a piece of cloth is cut properly, it can provide a family with winter clothes for the entire winter.

Not to mention the possibility of food and salt, which are scarce and good things.

Some people began to raise their hands and said, "Boss, I used to be a miner here. I'll do the job. I'll deliver it to you tomorrow. It's not much per trip, just 150 kilograms.

I'll make up for the loss of my body in the next two days, and it won't be a problem for me to send you three or four hundred kilograms of copper ore in one trip!"

Lao Li walked down and patted the miner on the shoulder: "Okay, big brother, I can see that you have a strong body. You can earn a piece of cloth in three to five days.

Winter clothes for the young and old in the family are now available!"

"Yes, yes!"

The man nodded continuously. Even before the Japanese came, the local gentry had never paid such generous wages when they opened this copper mine.

Many people immediately became excited and kept asking Li Yunlong about various details, caring about the location of the steel plant and seeing if there was anything that could be exchanged.

The atmosphere was full of enthusiasm.

Li Yunlong spoke loudly to them one by one. He saw light in the eyes of these men, which represented hope.

According to Lao Yu, the people's yearning for a better life is what we have always pursued.

Seeing these miners rescued from the clutches of the Japanese devils, Li Yunlong felt that this sentence was even more real.

In the past, Lao Li thought that it was a waste of time for Yu Ye to bother making some light industrial things. It would be better to build two more cannons with that time and resources.

Even though Yu Ye explained it several times, Li Yunlong still didn't quite understand.

However, seeing the looks in the eyes of these miners, Li Yunlong finally understood Yu Ye's far-reaching plan and good intentions.

Yu Ye, this is not just spun cloth or made farm tools, this is the happy life created for the people, this is the people's heart as valuable as gold.

A man rushed to Li Yunlong, shook his hand and said, "Boss, thank you for giving us such a good policy, but if the Japanese come, I'm afraid we will be arrested again and live a life worse than death.

Boss, you can’t leave.”

"Don't worry, we are ready. During this period, we will arrange guerrillas to monitor the movements of the devils at any time. If there is any movement, we will notify you first and let you run away quickly.

Give us some time, and we will completely drive these devils away, so that everyone can mine in peace!"

Li Yunlong waved his hand and told all the miners about the plan.

The miners cheered loudly and were even happier than during the Chinese New Year.

In fact, when they were first preparing to attack the two copper mines, Yu Ye, the brigade commander, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had discussed this matter. If they could arrange a small elite guerrilla force to monitor and harass the Japanese, they would not be able to digest the results of the occupation of the copper mine.

In other words, the cost of occupation by the Japanese is far greater than the benefits, so the Japanese will choose to abandon this copper mine.

After all, a thief can only steal for a thousand days, so there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

In this matter, Yu Ye decided to be the "thief" and let the Japanese devils have no peace.

As for these miners, they were all farmers from the surrounding areas. When the Japanese were driven away, they would rush over to work, and when the Japanese came back, they would run away.

It’s also guerrilla tactics!

The Japanese could never learn the Independent Regiment's practice of exchanging supplies for ore. If the cost was too high, their occupation would be meaningless.

This is an open conspiracy!
