(Recommended reading: After the Japanese army occupied Nanjing, in order to expand the results of the battle, it adopted the strategy of advancing north and south, and the 13th Division with less damage in Nanjing crossed the Yangtze River to the north, and marched from the first line of the Lotus Pond in Anhui Province, at the same time, the 10th Division of the Japanese Army in North China crossed the Yellow River from the cave Qingcheng Jinan generation to the south, and the north and south battlefields were connected together, and at the same time eight divisions and three brigades were mobilized, and two independent brigades totaling 240,000 people, commanded by the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army Shunroku Hata and the commander of the North China Front Army, Terauchi Shouichi, for a comprehensive attack, The goal is to Xuzhou, Zhengzhou, and then Wuhan!

In terms of the squadron, Chen Zhibo, vice chairman of the Jianzhong District, mobilized 64 divisions and three brigades with a total of 600,000 troops, and a main force was hoarded north of Xuzhou, and a part of the troops was deployed in the area of the Tianjin-Pudong Railway to strictly defend it.

Just when Lu Yuan was intensively training the independent regiment of the Sichuan Army, the Japanese army had begun a full-scale attack, and Fengyang, Bengbu and Dingyuan fell one after another.

The famous Battle of Taierzhuang in history is about to begin.

The Eighth Road, as well as the intelligence team led by Ren Haifang's lone wolf, flew like snowflakes to the broken temple in Trojan Horse County every day.

Every day, there are more than a dozen fast horses shuttling back and forth, and when each fast horse arrives, whether it is the soldiers or the people, they can see that Lu Yuan's face is a little more gloomy, his brows are wrinkled tighter, and the oil lamp in the broken temple of the military headquarters is lit later.

No one dared to ask why, because they all knew that it was not good news, and there must be a lot of people who were dying.

The soldiers had to double their training to prepare for the upcoming battle, and the common people were working hard to create a rear that could stably support the fighting of the Sichuan Army's Independent Regiment.

Late at night, Long Yun wandered in front of the broken temple, looking at the house from time to time, her sword eyebrows were also wrinkled into two knives, she wanted to help him, but she didn't know how to help, not to mention, she knew that she was very good at comforting a person from time to time, so she waited outside the door, in her own way, silently accompanied him.

A team of people entered the county seat, but it was a group of dirty guards led by Niu Pimple and the equally dirty Pan Haodi, these days they are in the field investigation, digging deep pits in ravines, and they are not light, but everyone's faces are full of excitement, and the excitement is like being hit in the head by gold nuggets.

"Sister Long, are you still waiting for Brother Yuan to pinch it?" The cow pimple dismounted and asked with a smile.

"Who is waiting for him, huh!"

Long Yun said with his neck and chin facing the sky: "I just look at the moonlight today, look at the moon!" ”

"yes, the moonlight is good!"

Niu Pimple and a guard began to tilt their heads to look at the sky, but it was almost the end of the month, and they really couldn't find what was good about the moonlight.

"Look for a beating, you guys!"

Long Yunjian raised her eyebrows and began to grind her teeth, she didn't mind being seen what she was thinking, but being ridiculed in front of her like this, her face suddenly couldn't hold back.

The general soldier screamed and ran away, and the cow pimple and his legs were weak and explained: "No, no, no, no—I have good news for you, Engineer Pan just found the coal mine a few days ago, and now he has found the iron mine—and the iron content is very high!" ”

"At least sixty percent or more!"

Pan Haodi's chin was higher than Long Yun's, and he said: "And it is a semi-open-pit iron mine, it is extremely easy to mine, the coal mine I discovered a few days ago is a coking mine, which is just used for steelmaking, as long as the steelmaking furnace is ready, I am sure that I will make high-quality steel within three months!" ”

"Really, that's great!"

Long Yun said in surprise, looking back at the broken temple, Lu Yuan was frowning for a while, she hoped that this good news could calm his anxious mood a little.

"Engineer Pan, come in and sit!"

At this moment, the door of the broken temple opened, and Lu Yuan stood at the door and said with a smile: "It's strange cold outside-Long Yun, you can come in too, see that you have been here for half the night!" ”

There were a lot of people in the house, Yang Zongman, Xu Yun, Wang Ma Zhu and others were there, Long Yunqiao blushed and said: "I don't, a room full of big men, I won't come in!" ”

“…… Whatever you want! ”

Lu Yuan smiled, opened the door, and watched her stand in the dim light, while letting Pan Haodi come in, and Niu Pimple and the others went to wash and rest.

"Commander, just call me by my name or Pan Gong!"

Pan Haodi said with a smile, the longer he gets along with these people, the more he feels like family, and even a few days ago, his family has been taken over by Luo Qinghu, and a small courtyard has been built for his family here, and even the place where Lu Yuan lives is not as grand as his family, but he is not lightly moved.

"Engineer Pan, we respect you, it should be!"

Cai Kaile poured him tea and said with a smile: "Although I am also a literati, but this kind of high-tech technical work, there are few people in China who know it, and you also use your strength to win our respect - just take that group of dirt and eight roads, crying every day and shouting that there are no resources, how many years have not found out that there are iron mines and coal mines around me, sitting on a golden bench and shouting poor, hahaha......"

"Yes, yes, my big bear has never been convinced by anyone, he used to only serve deserters, and now Engineer Pan is the number one!" The big dog bear quacked.

This kind of thing is like a sycophant, Wang Mazhuo, Yang Zongman, Xu Yun, Luo Youcai and others are very good at it, and for a while, the sycophants were like a tide, and they almost praised Pan Haodi to the sky.

"What is the taste of iron ore? What about harmful elements? Is it magnetite or hematite? ”

After everyone had a friendly atmosphere, Lu Yuan began to speak.

For refining steel, even special steel, it is not a particularly confidential thing after a few decades, but in this era, many technologies are still in the hands of Westerners, like Lu Yuan, who said a few words in one breath, not only said Yang Zongman, Xu Yun and other big bosses were stunned, but even Pan Haodi couldn't help but say in his heart - professional!

Good iron ore is not only high iron content, but also good reduction, high melting and softening temperature, narrow soft melting interval and low content of harmful elements, which is the recognized standard of good iron ore.

Of course, under the current conditions, another extremely important criterion must be added, that is, the difficulty of mining.

"It's limonite, semi-open-pit, as long as seven or eight meters of crust on the surface is opened, it is easy to mine!"

Pan Haodi said: "Under my rough estimate, the iron content is definitely more than 60 percent, and the reserves are not low, with the mining industry level that we can achieve, there is no problem in using it for at least ten or eight years!" ”

"Great!"

As soon as he heard the news, not only Lu Yuan, but everyone in the whole room shouted excitedly, and Long Yun, who was standing outside the door and tilted his head to eavesdrop, couldn't help laughing.

"Now that iron ore and coal have been found, mining is not a problem......

Pan Haodi looked at Lu Yuan and splashed a bucket of cold water: "The corresponding workers and technicians, as well as machinery and equipment, as long as they can get them, they can start work, Lu Tuan...... That's not a small amount! ”

Lu Yuan smiled bitterly, after more than a month, the cement and other materials that have been continuously transported in, plus the six or seven thousand people who have come in one after another after the New Year, and the county's population of more than 15,000 people have eaten, drunk and lazard, and his little family wealth is now only seven or eight thousand oceans left!

Money!
