"Captain, rest assured, we will cooperate with Captain Wang's work, set up a Cangshui team as soon as possible, and do our best to fight against the Japanese invaders and protect the safety of more than 100,000 people in Cangshui, and then ...... after death."

Hearing that the two of them were actually appointed as deputy captain and company commander respectively, Huang Hu and Lu Youyi's eyes were red with excitement, and they assured Zhang Ran.

"I hope you can do what you say!"

Zhang Ran said with a serious expression: "I appointed you because you won my trust in the process of fighting with the Japanese invaders with the detachment before, but you should know your background, and you must always be strict with yourself, and you can't revert to your old ways just because you are in power now, if you do the same bastard things that you did when you followed Duan Changdong before, I don't think I will spare you!" ”

The two nodded vigorously, swearing.

In the process of forming the Cangshui team, the detachment did not return to the base area for the time being, but repaired in Cangshui County.

On the one hand, it was for the formation of the Cangshui team, and on the other hand, it was also waiting for Huang Gui, Hu Lijun and others and the representatives of various villages and towns to vote on Zhang Ran's handling of this batch of loot.

Although everyone knows that Zhang Ran's proposal will eventually become a reality, the procedure that should be followed must be followed.

Of course, trimming is trimming, and the team can't be idle in Cangshui.

Although the mass work here has been carried out, and the enthusiasm of the masses to support the Eighth Route Army and the detachment to support the revolution is also very high, whether this enthusiasm can continue and become the core driving force for the people of the county to firmly support the detachment, rather than a gust of wind, which will pass, and it will have to rely on continuous mass work and mass propaganda.

The fighters of the detachment, in addition to repairing, are cooperating with Lu Yan to do such work.

And Zhang Ran himself, with Wang Wenping and Kang Ting, went to Longwanggou under the protection of Shi Yuan and the soldiers of the two classes.

The operation of the current copper smelter in the base area is inseparable from coke, and the coal tar refined from coal coking is not only the core fuel for the three engines of the detachment, but also the entire source of chemical raw materials such as phenylnaphthalene.

And now the coking coal is all purchased by the detachment, which almost depletes the detachment's family funds.

Although this time in Cangshui made a big fortune, it seems that the amount is simply scary.

But in fact, according to Zhang Ran's distribution, in addition to the distribution to the common people, a part of it was left for the detachment to operate, and there was not much left.

If this money is used to buy coal, it is estimated that it will not last long!

Therefore, having your own coal supply base has become an inevitable choice!

Early in the morning, Zhang Ran put the self-supply of coal on the Longwanggou coal mine.

Even if Duan Changdong didn't take the Cangshui Self-Defense Force to humiliate the detachment and forcibly collect hundreds of oceans of tolls, Zhang Ran would have to come to trouble the Cangshui Self-Defense Force.

Duan Changdong's collection of tolls was just an upright reason for Zhang Ran to send troops to Cangshui.

At the same time, the use of thunderous means to wipe out all possible hostile forces in Cangshui in one fell swoop, so as to eliminate the detachment's worries that it may be secretly sabotaged by hostile elements at any time when it is operating in Cangshui, which can be regarded as the icing on the cake.

Historically, the Longwanggou Coal Mine was mined very late, at least long after the reform and opening up.

Because of the existence of Longwanggou Coal Mine, for many years, Cangshui County has been able to rank among the top few economic strengths in the city, and the Longwanggou Coal Mine, a high-quality coal mine, has brought a large amount of tax revenue to the local finance.

Now Zhang Ran uses historical knowledge to mine the Longwanggou Coal Mine in advance, which is somewhat of a bit of a bit of a grain eater.

But in this regard, Zhang Ran will not have any psychological burden on the people of Cangshui County decades later.

Now I find that the positive significance that this coal mine brings to the country and to the battlefield behind enemy lines is much more important than it is to make those politicians look better on their political resumes decades later!

"This is the Dragon King Ditch?"

Looking at the sparse grass and trees of the big long ditch, Zhang Ran carefully recalled the memories of the government organizing himself and a group of civil servants to visit and learn from the experience, and tried his best to find the specific location of the mine.

Longwanggou Coal Mine is a shallow coal mine, and it is not difficult to mine.

However, shallow coal mines are also buried coal mines, which need to be dug into mountains to discover coal mines, and finally mined them.

If the mine mouth is accurate, you can find the coal vein earlier, and you can get out of the coal earlier, if you can't find it accurately, it will be difficult to say!

After all, at this time, there was no advanced technology such as excavators and roadheaders, and it was all up to the stonemasons to use stone chisels to drill holes in the rocks little by little, and then blast them with explosives, advancing little by little!

Once it deviates from the ore vein, maybe the war of resistance is over, and this coal mine has not been mined yet!

"Captain Zhang, birds don't in this place, not to mention crops, and even trees don't grow very long - who did you hear that there is a coal mine here?"

The people of Cangshui who led the way asked, even if they knew that this coal was a good thing.

It is used instead of firewood to cook rice and boil water, and it is used for heating in winter, which is the best, not to mention that this coal can be sold for money!

They don't think they can find such a golden lump of coal in a place where birds don't.

"God bless me too!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "A few years ago, I saw that there was a coal mine here in a geologist's record, but it was not mined for various reasons, and now we are fighting the little devils just using this coal mine, if it is mined, it will be very helpful for us to defeat little Japan and return my Chinese land to a clear ......."

A group of ordinary people were fooled by Zhang Ran's cloud and mountain fog cover and didn't know what to say, and finally held back a sentence: "Captain Zhang really took great pains to defeat the little devil, and his pure heart is admirable......"

Zhang Ran smiled, looking at the surrounding terrain as he advanced, trying to equate it with the location of the pit mouth in his memory.

Then he saw a boulder on the top of the mountain!

"This is it!"

Zhang Ran pointed to the foot of the mountain under the boulder and said, "Arrange manpower and start digging from here!" ”

A group of Cangshui people blinked, as if they wanted to ask Zhang Ran - have you made a mistake?

Because the place Zhang Ran is pointing at is completely a mountain cliff, and there is not even a little soil!

In other words, from the very beginning, the villagers had to gnaw little by little with hammers and chisels - that would be a waste of old kung fu!

"Trust me, that's right!"

Zhang Ran pinched his chin and hummed, with a face of wisdom beads in his hand!

Although he had visited the Longwanggou Coal Mine under the organization of the organization department before, after all, it was only when he first joined the work several years ago, and he didn't pay much attention to it at that time, so if he didn't observe it on the spot, he was not sure if he could accurately find the location of the pit.

But when I arrived at the scene, all the memories that had been blurring a few years ago began to revive in my mind!

After seeing the boulder on the top of the mountain, the floodgates of memory opened in an instant - he remembered very clearly that when he came to visit Longwanggou, he was still standing in front of the pit mouth of the coal mine and took a selfie with the boulder on the top of the mountain, and posted a circle of friends, obviously he was going to visit the coal mine, but he was actually showing off his extraordinary identity in a low-key manner - yes, the person who visited and the person who went down to the coal kiln to dig coal were definitely two completely different characters.

Now, Zhang Ran couldn't help but be happy with his complacent vanity when he had just gotten rid of his status as a peasant.

If it weren't for his vanity, he swore that he would never have been able to accurately find the location of the pit in Longwang Ditch, where the landscape had changed greatly due to coal mining many years later!

A group of stonemasons and other ordinary people took chisels, chisels, chisels, hammers, etc., and began to knock on the cliff wall designated by Zhang Ran, and cut the mountain and chiseled stones.

"Captain, you are really optimistic, if you are wrong, this effort will be delayed!"

Kang Ting looked at the expressions of the stonemasons and reminded worriedly.

"Trust me!"

Zhang Ran snorted: "Besides, the detachment didn't let them work in vain, and they gave money for food!" ”

Kang Ting heard this, his teeth hurt, and his heart said Damn, this time he made a fortune in Cangshui, and his waist is hard when he has money in hand, and he speaks in a bad tone - when he is rich, he forgets that when he is in the base area, when he is found and asks for something, he sighs with a bitter face?

It's so damn good, the scar forgot the pain!

Zhang Ran didn't care what Kang Ting was slandering in his heart, relying on how many of the principles he had seen in chiseling and excavation, he commanded those stonemasons, so that they could not cut stones like usual when digging explosive points, but must follow certain mechanical principles.

After all, digging a cavern out of a solid like a mountain is not the same as separating a stone in the open air!

When the stone is open, there is room to expand outwards when it is cracked, and when it is excavated, it is all solid!

"If you rely on you to dig a hole in this rock-filled mountain little by little, then I don't know if the Year ......of the Monkey has gone."

Zhang Ran took a small pebble and gestured on the rock: "Find a few long chisels, hit them like this, remember to be straight, you can't string holes between each other, I will have people send explosives over, and blast ......them after the holes are made."

The method he said was a typical hollow blasting method.

At the center of the excavation face, seven dense parallel openings were drilled in the shape of plum blossoms, roughly in the shape of six bullets around the periphery of the central axis of a revolver.

After the hole is chiseled, when blasting, the central shaft hole is blasted first to form a small hollow, and at the same time, the six peripheral holes are blasted in turn, so that a space for blasting force to be released can be formed in the center of the excavation face.

After that, the hole is opened a little further away from the perimeter, and when it is blasted, the rocks will collapse in the direction of the center hole, thus forming a tunnel!

A group of old stonemasons looked at Zhang Ran with green eyebrows and green eyes, and their faces were blue with disgust.

If it weren't for Zhang Ran being the captain, although they wouldn't have used a stonemason's hammer on this guy's head to teach him how to behave, but he yelled at Zhang Ran directly, Lao Tzu has been beating stones for decades, and you still want to command? Is Lao Tzu a stonemason or are you a stonemason? You're blind to what you're commanding here, that's for sure!

Stonemasons, too, are fucking dignified, right?

But now, they have to do it with a green face and follow Zhang Ran's arrangement - who made people not only the captain of the detachment, but also give themselves labor money and take care of food?

It's all the time, it's the uncle who gives the money!

What's more, Zhang Ran still has so many soldiers in his hands, they have to do it if they don't give money or food!
