Hearing that the guerrillas were pulled over, Zhao Yuankun and others became even more energetic. With the bottom in his heart, he wants to continue this strike and let He Jingtang spit out more of the hard-earned money he squeezed out.

Therefore, miners were arranged on the large and small roads leading to the mine to prevent people from going down the mine to sabotage the strike. Zhao Yuankun and others went to the west again, persuaded and mobilized, and those with more food helped those who had no food, and those with relatives and friends went to borrow support temporarily.

At noon, the He family sent someone to call the miners to work, shouting: "Go down to the kiln, pay for two shifts for one shift." ”

Some miners are tempted, but they are embarrassed to go out when they see that others are not moving. The doglegs shouted for a long time, but when they saw that no one was going, they had to go back.

The next morning, the doglegs of the He family came to call again, and at this time, the wages had risen to the top three shifts of one shift.

Last night, Zhao Yuankun secretly connected and told the miners to resist their efforts and not be deceived by He Jingtang's temptation, so that the strike would be abandoned halfway.

Therefore, even if the salary is raised, no one goes. Of course, there are also those who want to go, but looking at others, they don't dare to do this thing that offends the big guy.

At noon, a miner suddenly came to Zhao Yuankun, saying that the mine's steam winch had gone out of the ditch.

Zhao Yuankun and the old kiln leader hurriedly came out, closer to the mine, and indeed heard a slow and chaotic sound of "poof, puff, puff".

As soon as the winch went out of the ditch, it meant that someone had gone down the mine to dig coal. If so, the strike was a failure, and He Jingtang would not bother with it anymore.

At this time, Zhuang Shang was in chaos. The miners were anxious and came to Zhao Yuankun and others one after another.

Zhao Yuankun and others hurriedly comforted everyone, and asked the miners who were monitoring the road, but did not find anyone going to the mine.

"Don't panic, everyone." The old kiln leader relied on his age, knowledge, and prestige, raised his hand to signal everyone not to make noise, and said slowly: "If you want my old man to see, this may be a trick played by the He family, just to make you anxious, and if you don't understand, you will go to the kiln in a hurry." ”

Zhao Yuankun thought about it, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and said to everyone: "Don't worry, let's find out first and see where the kiln came from?" Don't listen to the empty sound of the winch, you will have no idea, and let the He family coax you. ”

The crowd was skeptical, but they dispersed.

Zhao Yuankun and the others discussed it, and felt that the mine must be strictly guarded, and it was not so easy to find out.

"In this way, let Xiao Mao go." The old kiln leader made a suggestion and said: "Other people are bold, but they don't understand from the outside, so they pretend to go down to the kiln and mix in the class, and we will know what is going on at night." ”

Zhao Yuankun felt that this was a solution, so he immediately sent someone to call Xiao Mao, and told Xiao Mao to find out the news.

Xiao Mao turned to the vicinity of the mine and saw that there were double posts at the entrance of the mine, and the mine policemen were holding big guns with bayonets, looking like fierce bullies. He was emboldened several times, but he didn't dare to go over.

At this moment, someone on the gangue pile shouted: "Boy, don't you go down to the kiln?" One shift pays three shifts. ”

Xiao Mao looked up and saw that it was a small leader surnamed Chen, who usually drank well and looked like a bear in a daze all day.

"Why are you so generous, ask someone to come to the village to applaud." Xiao Mao sneered sarcastically.

Chen blinked his head, and although he drank the wine, he still heard a thorn in Xiao Mao's words, so he scolded: "If you don't want to fucking do it, get out." ”

Xiao Mao saw Chen turn his head and leave, and suddenly came up with an idea, and beckoned: "Supervisor Chen, stop for a moment." ”

Chen stopped his head, turned his head, and looked at Xiao Mao with somewhat confused eyes.

Xiao Mao ran up, pretending to be smiling and asked, "I can't open the pot at home, is it really one class and three classes?" ”

"Of course it's true." Chen rolled his head and rolled his eyes and said, "This village doesn't have this shop, you kid don't miss this good thing." ”

Xiao Mao nodded and asked, "Then how many people do you want to go down to the kiln?" ”

Chen turned his head and eyes lit up and said, "The more the merrier!" ”

Xiao Mao stretched out his finger and pointed to the mine and said, "It's not that someone got down, the winch was driving hard." ”

Chen blinked his head slowly, looked around, and whispered to Xiao Mao: "It's to empty the cans and scare the poor boy." You have to go down quickly, and if there are many people called, you will be given a class top four. ”

Xiao Mao had a bottom in his heart, pretended to be serious on his face, and said, "Then let's decide, I'll call someone for you." With that, he turned around and went back to the village.

After getting Xiao Mao's report, Zhao Yuankun and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly went to inform the miners to stabilize and not fall for He Jingtang.

Besides, Zhao Tie and Erhuzi reconnoitred near the top of the tweezer, and they hurried back in a hurry.

By the time the two returned to their temporary station, more than two days had passed.

And Shen Chen had already led people to transport all the coal to the bottom of the cliff, and sent a team member back to inform Lao Zhou and indicate where to hide the coal.

After returning to the station, Shen Chen arranged manpower to expand the station while leading the team members to train.

In general training, Shen Chen is reluctant to interfere. Moreover, there are already a few team members who can barely become instructors, teaching newcomers basic movements and common sense.

Now, Shen Chen is teaching the team members simple combat gestures.

Combat gesture refers to a simple language expressed by gestures instead of language in the smoke of war or secret sneak attacks. But unlike sign language, the meaning that combat gestures can convey can only be used on the battlefield.

Although there were many combat gestures, Shen Chen abandoned most of them and only selected the seven or eight that were most practical and commonly used.

Such as covering me, advancing, spotting the enemy, moving closer to me, stopping the advance, scattering, receiving orders, etc.

When Zhao Tie and Erhuzi rushed back, they saw Shen Chen and his team members practicing.

The two squad leaders led their team members forward in a battle formation, while Shen Chen supervised and corrected them with his hands behind his back.

After a while, the squad leader raised his fist to the head position and crouched down, and the team members behind him stopped advancing and were on alert; After a while, the team leader stretched out his arms again, closed his fingers, and then swung in the direction of his body, and the team members quickly moved closer......

"Lao Zhang, your movements are slow."

"Xiao Li, the captain has found out about the situation, are you still going forward?"

"Advance, advance!"

Zhao Tie watched not far away for a while, and also understood what he was training.

Although in battle, he will also use gestures unconsciously, but it is not so standardized. Acquaintances can understand it, but others may not understand it.

This girl, what is her head thinking, and she will come up with a trick in a few days.

Zhao Tie smiled and shook his head, and did not bother, stretched out his arms, clenched his fists, and observed, he began to imitate and begin to learn.

is not only to learn gestures, but also to deal with their own tactical actions, and the movements must also be taught and corrected by Shen Chen. Fortunately, there are people who learn quickly and master well. Someone did it for him, and Shen Chen felt that it would be easy again in the future.

Seeing that it was almost over, Shen Chen asked the team leader to continue practicing with the team members, and he turned around and walked towards Zhao Tie, who he had seen for a long time.

"Team Zhao, the reconnaissance is back." Not far away, Shen Chen stretched out his hand to say hello.

Zhao Tie smiled and beckoned, waited for Shen Chen to get closer, and said: "There is a strike in the mine, and the miners are being squeezed so much that they can't stand it, so they can only unite to fight against He Jingtang. ”

After a pause, Zhao Tie said again: "Your uncle's family is fine, I didn't inquire much, I just asked casually." They miss you very much, and the old kiln boss saw your uncle and younger brother going to Liuzhuang, so they should have gone to inquire about you. ”

Shen Chen smiled and said, "Then I'll go back and let them get ready." I think it's okay to let them live here first. Then, I took the time to escort them to Wangjiawa. ”

Zhao Tie hesitated for a moment and said, "I think, you don't want to escort it personally." Send someone to send it over, and Lao Zhou will settle them well, it should not be a problem. ”

Shen Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What, there is a combat mission?" ”

Zhao Tie nodded and said, "Our camp has been built, but the materials are insufficient, and if we want to hold on for a long time, we must grab it from the enemy." Moreover, food support is needed if the miners' strike is to continue. ”

Shen Chen didn't say a word, he agreed in his heart, and asked, "Do you have a goal?" ”

"The turret on top of the tweezer." Zhao Tie said: "There are only seven or eight soft eggs in the inspection team, who usually set up cards to extort, snatch things and molest women, and the people are very angry. And we still have a chance to outwit ......"

After listening to the story, Shen Chen nodded and said, "That's easy." If we can get rid of the enemy without firing a shot, let's send a few people to change into clothes and stay in the stronghold, maybe there will be a bigger harvest! ”

Zhao Tie was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "You think long-term, I just think about solving the enemy and seizing supplies, and I don't think about keeping people to guard the stronghold in a big way." ”

Shen Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then when are we leaving, tomorrow, or tonight?" ”

"I know you're in a hurry to go back." Zhao Tie pondered for a moment and said: "But the mine is on strike, and the enemy may be investigating and visiting, so you should move with the brigade, don't go home alone!" ”

Shen Chen thought for a while and said, "Okay, I won't go back." By the way, you just said that my uncle and my brother will go out to sell tofu. If it's convenient, tell my uncle and make an appointment to meet outside. ”

After a pause, he added, "You have to prepare and pack up before you can leave, right?" ”

Zhao Tie felt that this was okay, so he nodded and agreed, and discussed the plan to fight the top of the pot, and when he saw that it was getting dark, he collected the team and returned to the camp.

……………

The partisans had a night's rest before setting off for action, but the night in the mine was not peaceful.

Zhao Yuankun suddenly got a piece of news, saying that someone was going to go down the kiln tonight, and he couldn't help but be annoyed and disappointed, and worried and anxious.

Whether it was true or not, Zhao Yuankun took two workers and went to the road outside the mine to block it, so that the strike could not be ruined.

After waiting for a long time, Zhao Yuankun saw Hong head and more than 30 people coming straight to the mine.

When these people approached, Zhao Yuankun suddenly jumped out of the bushes, stood in the middle of the road, and said to the group of people: "The strike is for the good of everyone, why do you want to dig the wall roots of the poor brothers?" ”

Some of these thirty or so people are gamblers, greedy for a few money; Some of them are honest and fearful workers, who were scared and deceived by Hong.

was asked so confidently by Zhao Yuankun, most of them lowered their heads, and some of them were already embarrassed to step back. A few gamblers knew that there were many people on strike, and they did not say anything.

Hong pushed Zhao Yuankun forward and scolded, "What are you?" This is the instigation of the shopkeeper, you dare to stop it, so that you can't eat and walk around. ”

Zhao Yuankun sneered and said, "Since it is the instigation of the shopkeeper, then let them go to the kiln." ”

Saying that, Zhao Yuankun and the two miners got out of the way and looked coldly at these people who were about to go down the kiln.

was so blocked by Zhao Yuankun, and then looked at by such disdain, contempt, and resentment, those miners who were coaxed by threats knew that they were at a loss, and turned around and left.

A few gamblers hadn't moved yet, and they all looked at Hong's head, hoping that he could support him.

"It turns out that you are the one who led the strike." Hong looked at Zhao Yuankun viciously, stretched out his hand and took out his gun, "Go, follow me to He's house, and talk in front of Shopkeeper He." ”

The two miners hurriedly blocked Zhao Yuankun behind him and urged him to leave quickly. Zhao Yuankun turned around and jumped into the bushes, taking advantage of the darkness, and soon disappeared.

Hong turned his head into annoyance, shouted loudly, and stepped forward to arrest the two miners. Several gamblers stepped forward to help and restrained the two miners.

Zhao Yuankun got into the woods, bypassed Zhuangzi, and ran back to Hongshigang in one go.

There was not much time, and someone came to inform that two miners had been arrested and taken to He's house.

Zhao Yuankun thought for a while, discussed with the old kiln leader and others, and then went separately to inform.

When it was time to hold the lights, hundreds of miners suddenly surrounded the front of the He family's house. Some with pickaxes, others with axes, shouted loudly: "Release people, release people." ”

When several dogs of the He family saw this situation, they were a little panicked, and hurriedly reported to He Jingtang.

He Jingtang climbed the ladder and grabbed the fence to see that there were people outside the house, and he also felt that the situation was urgent, so he hurriedly sent someone to the mine to call the mine police to suppress it.

But the dog's legs showed his head at the door, and when he saw that the miners were tightly blocked, he shrank back again, and reported to He Jingtang with a bitter face: "The shopkeeper, I really can't get out!" ”

"Rubbish!" He Jingtang was so angry that he stomped his feet and asked someone to go through the back door, but he was also blocked back.

Although Hong is fierce, he is also cunning, and when he sees the fierce appearance outside, he does not dare to go out even if he has a gun on his body.

He rolled his eyes, pondered for a long time, and leaned in front of He Jingtang and said, "Counter, singles don't suffer immediate losses." Those two miners were not leaders, and it was useless to stay. We already know that it is the leader led by Zhao Yuankun, so we will send these poor ghosts away first, and then it will not be too late to clean up the surname Zhao. ”

He Jingtang thought about it and felt that it was the same thing. For the sake of two inconsequential poor miners, it would be troublesome to let someone from the outside in.

Thinking of this, he boldly went out of the gate and said to the miners: "Workers, this is the wrong person caught by his subordinates. Don't be angry, big guy, I'll release him immediately. ”

After a while, the two miners were released, and the hundreds of people surrounding the He family's house slowly left.
