Anti-Japanese Black Wolf Special Forces

Chapter 673 Night Attack on the Rich Gold Mine

Hearing the noisy noise coming from outside, Zhong Teng gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.

"What's going on outside?"

"Report, many brothers outside are clamoring for military pay!"

"I……"

Zhong Teng's face turned red with anger.

Although he has a lot of jade artifacts, it won't be considered money unless he sells them.

I can't give each of my brothers a jade pendant.

Damn it, it’s all General Yuan’s fault. He got so much gold, but didn’t he just keep it for himself? He even used it to pay the soldiers. What do you want me to use to pay them?

"Damn it, drive them away!"

"Captain, we can't drive them away!"

"Captain, you are now the highest commander of Emerald River. If you don't say a few words, our brothers will definitely not be able to leave!"

Several of his men made suggestions.

After all, they also hope to get their military pay.

Zhong Teng had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk to the gate of the headquarters.

"Stop arguing!"

He shouted loudly to the people outside.

Everyone fell silent.

"Brothers, you have worked hard. I, Zhong, will never treat you unfairly, and I will not owe you a penny of military pay. I will arrange for someone to take the jade to Zhacheng to exchange for money, and then pay all the brothers! Everyone, go away!"

"Yes, yes, yes, the team leader has already made arrangements. He will immediately arrange for someone to deliver the jade to the county town. Everyone is gone, everyone is gone!"

One of his men shouted a few times, and then everyone left with a little dissatisfaction.

They are here for the money, not really to risk their lives.

After everyone had dispersed, Zhong Teng quickly arranged for people to pack several boxes of jade artifacts and take them to the county town.

Little did we know that jade was not as valuable as gold at that time.

The reason why the Japanese occupied this place was to take the jade articles abroad and sell them to earn foreign exchange.

Among the people in Zhacheng, only a few wealthy families would sell some jade articles. Ordinary people had trouble eating and dressing, so how could they have extra money to buy decorative items like jade articles?

At the same time, the owner of the jade shop in Zhacheng tried to lower the price as much as possible, and he didn't even have enough money to buy so many jade pieces at one time.

The battalion commander of the Allied Forces who was transporting the jade could only go to Manager Li Huo.

Li Huo felt secretly happy.

The Emerald River Base is also a piece of fat meat.

Of course he had the money to buy all the jade.

But if this is done, the Emerald River Base will have military pay.

By then, the allied soldiers of the Jade River will follow Zhong Teng wholeheartedly because they can exchange jade for money to pay their salaries.

This would be very bad for his future attempt to seize the Emerald River base.

But he couldn't offend Zhong Teng now.

He could only find various excuses to lower the price, and finally paid some money and bought all the jade pieces.

The battalion commander knew that the money he was given was not enough to pay everyone's salary, but he had no choice but to take the money and return to the Emerald River Base.

Zhong Teng had no choice but to pay half of the military pay first to stabilize the army's morale.

As a result, the payment of military salaries failed to stabilize the morale of the troops.

Because the military salaries in Zhacheng were all paid out without any withholding.

But each of them only received half of their military salary.

The angry soldiers clamored to find Zhong Teng to argue.

Fortunately, several officers suppressed the situation, otherwise, these soldiers might have run to the headquarters and caused trouble again.

But Zhong Teng was so angry that he kept cursing his mother for a long time.

At night, one of the men reminded.

"Captain, this is not a solution. The price of jade is not high to begin with, and now they are taking advantage of the situation to lower the price. If we continue to sell jade to Zhacheng, I'm afraid the price will drop even more!"

"In my opinion, we should talk to the British army and see what their prices are!"

"How can we negotiate? Even if the price on the British side is high, can we send the jade over?"

"Captain, doesn't their gold come from the rich gold mine? They dare to go to the rich gold mine to rob gold, so why can't we go and rob it!"

A suggestion from a subordinate made everyone's eyes light up.

Zhong Teng slapped his forehead and laughed.

"Yes, that's what I want to say. Immediately notify the first battalion and rush to the rich gold mine overnight to grab the gold!"

When they heard that they were going to rob gold, everyone was extremely excited and wanted to mobilize the entire army.

But Zhong Teng didn't dare to send everyone to the rich gold mine.

The men he left behind were to guard the Emerald River Base.

Therefore, he only sent a reinforced battalion of more than 400 people, and he did not dare to send anyone to drive a car.

Because the lights and sounds of cars can easily be discovered by the Japanese.

He could only let this reinforced battalion take out more than a hundred mules and horses and let the mules and horses be responsible for transportation.

However, what he didn't expect was that the last time Yuan Shuai robbed the gold transport team, the Japanese suffered heavy losses.

Although there was only one battalion of troops left in Xincheng, two squadrons were still transferred to garrison at the Fujin Mine in coordination with a regiment of puppet troops.

There were originally two squadrons and a regiment of puppet troops at the rich gold mine.

Including the troops sent here, there are four squadrons and two regiments of puppet troops.

Mortars, infantry guns, 75 field guns, 105 howitzers, anti-aircraft guns, tanks, everything you can think of.

Even a lot of flamethrowers were deployed to prevent snake attacks.

Not only that, the Japs also abandoned the previously vacant artillery towers and strongholds, and only arranged scouts on the hillsides to take turns on guard to prevent anyone from attacking his gold-rich mines.

The scout in the front saw someone approaching and quickly sent a message to the Fujin Mine and Xincheng.

"Damn it! It's not enough that they robbed my gold transport team, they even want to rob my mine!"

"Do you really think you can dream after dark?"

"Notify the Rich Gold Mine. They must be wiped out this time. Don't let any one go!"

"Notify a squadron to advance quickly. Once they pass the fork in the road, immediately block their retreat! This time, they will pay the price!"

The Japanese captain gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the desk.

Soon, the Japs made their arrangements.

All the sentries quickly moved to the nearby hillside to observe the enemy situation at any time.

At the rich gold mine, an ambush circle has been set up five kilometers away from the mine to prevent the other side from bombing the rich gold mine with artillery shells.

After all, they had worked hard to rebuild the mine, and they couldn't let it be blown up.

At this time, the allied forces had no idea that there was an ambush ahead. Instead, they were running fast on the road excitedly.

We passed many artillery towers and strongholds, but did not find any Japanese or puppet troops.

The allied forces became more and more courageous and their speed increased rapidly, as if they wished they could grow wings and fly to the gold-rich mine immediately.

Unfortunately, they eventually fell into the Japanese ambush.

The devil's detonator was activated first.

Many explosive packs exploded beside the road.

The light and heavy machine guns on the hills on both sides of the road roared wildly.

Grenade launchers, mortars, and infantry gun shells bombarded the Allied forces crazily.
