Chapter 47, Building Roads
Ask for collection, ask for recommendation~~~
"Boom!" A 152mm shell landed on the bullseye painted by lime in the distance, making a deafening sound.
The shells shot out of the place, and 40 guns stood on the ground, and the muzzles of the black holes pointed far away. One of the barrels was still emitting green smoke, indicating that it had fired the shell just now.
The T-34 tank is also in place, and the T-34 can be said to be a tractor in the tank, because it is easy to operate and quick to learn, and a farmer who has just put down his farm tools can drive it around in three days.
The tank will be opened, but how to drive out of this deep valley is a problem, in this deep mountain and old forest, there is no road to the outside, and some are also woods and cliffs, and it is impossible to drive a tank. For this reason, Lu Qiang was very worried, he knew that he would not press the base here.
For this reason, Lu Qiang decided to build a road, which didn't need to be too good, as long as it could be used for tanks to run. From the map, Lu Qiang marked a winding route, then bought a few construction machinery, gathered more than 1,000 people, and began the road repair project.
In fact, the road is not difficult to build, just make a silhouette. The work is to cut down trees, fill in pits, dig slopes, and there is no need to make peace, as long as the tank runs past. For this reason, the first batch of 10 tanks also followed, and in addition to the driver, the gunner and the car also had to open the road, and the driver drove the tank behind, and wherever the road went, they ran away. Lu Qiang also followed all the way, holding a map, planning routes, and going to work from time to time.
"One or two hard, one or two hard." A T-34 leaned on the side of the road, half of the tracks were already stuck in the mud, turning in vain, and a T-34 in front of it was tied to this stuck T-34 with a rope, spitting black smoke and pulling hard.
"How's it up ahead?" Lu Qiang asked the detective who came back.
"The hill in front of me is mostly rocky, so it's hard to dig." Said the returning detective.
"Blow it up with explosives." Lu Qiang frowned and said.
Soon, a rumbling explosion rang out on that mountain.
On this side, Lu Qiang is opening the road, on the other side, the Japanese army has captured Fujin Mountain, this time the Japanese army's losses on Fujin Mountain can be said to be the largest in this offensive, the main reason is the two planes, although the base camp transferred a lot of anti-aircraft artillery, forcing Fang Zheng and the old wolf to change the way, from daytime bombing to night bombing, Jian-5 is a day and night machine, and it can also be dispatched at night. However, when it was time to return, it was easy to find the way back, so there were fewer sorties at night, so they went out when it was dark.
Fujin Mountain fell, the Japanese army pointed directly at the mall, and many people from the 71st Army and the 75th Army stationed in Fujin Mountain were scattered, and many people got into Dabie Mountain, such as what Lu Qiang is encountering now.
"Who are you?" Lu Qiang looked at the dozens of people in front of him and asked loudly.
"Who are you?" The other party was originally a little scared when he saw that Lu Qiang and the others were numerous, but after thinking about it, he thought that they should be mountain bandits or something, so he was not so afraid, and immediately reported his number: "We are from the third battalion of the 118th Regiment of the 75th Army, and I am the battalion commander Hu Yihu." ”
"Seventy-fifth Army? Just the 75th Army guarding on Fujin Mountain? Lu Qiang said, and at the same time swept his eyes up and down the other party, all of them were wearing tattered earthy blue military uniforms, and among all of them, the battalion commander was slightly better dressed. There are also many wounded people, who are carried or supported, and their spirits are a little sluggish and their morale is low.
"That's right. Is that us? Hu Yihu said.
"Then why are you here now?" Lu Qiang asked.
"We were scattered and fled into this Dabie Mountain, and when we heard an explosion here, we came to take a look." Hu Yihu said. asked Lu Qiang again, "I don't know who you are?" ”
"We? Think of it as a militia group. Lu Qiang said, he didn't lie, after all, they don't have any numbers, and they are not bandits or the like, so they can only be said to be militiamen.
"Militia?" Hu Yihu nodded, the militia is also possible, after all, the world is so chaotic now, some relatively wealthy villages will organize some militia to defend against the enemy. "By the way, the explosion?"
"Oh, this one, that's when the mountain is being opened and the road is being blown up." Lu Qiang said.
"Open mountains and build roads?" Hu Yihu was puzzled, and there were some doubts in his heart, now people can't wait to hide in the mountains and not come out, isolated from the world, how can anyone build roads to connect with the outside world.
"That's right, it's to build roads." What Lu Qiang said didn't seem to see Hu Yihu's doubts, or even suspicions.
"Boom!" There was another loud bang, and the energy generated by the explosion swept away the rubble, and a boulder turned into pieces of rubble in the explosion.
"Boss, it's already through." At this time, a man came running and reported.
"Oh, got it." Lu Qiang said, and then said to Hu Yihu: "I have left beforehand, please take care of yourself." The meaning of this is self-evident. If I have something, you can get out of the way if you have nothing to dodge, otherwise you will bear the consequences, which is almost what it means.
Seeing Lu Qiang and his group leave, Hu Yihu frowned, lowered his head and pondered, not knowing what he was thinking. And a soldier beside him looked at Lu Qiang and their sales, and saw that his battalion commander was thinking, and said with some unhappiness: "The battalion commander's gang is too arrogant, let's teach them a good lesson." ”
"Forget it, more is better than less." Hu Yihu waved his hand and said, then thought about it, looked at the injured soldier, and said: "However, follow them first to see what is going on, if they have no problems, our injured brother will rely on him, so you all have to be honest." ”
"Got it!" The voices of the crowd sounded chaotically, soft, and they didn't have any strength at all.
Hu Yihu frowned, then sighed again, and beckoned, "Let's go, but pay attention to it, and take a lighter step." ”
Walking in front, one of Lu Qiang's team suddenly said: "Boss, those people are coming, do you want to ......" said and made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Leave them alone, as long as they don't go too far, don't pay attention to them." Lu Qiang said without looking back.
"Uh, yes." ……
The first thing that caught the eye of Hu Yihu and others was a crawler chassis, on which was a cab that could rotate 360 degrees, and a mechanical arm extended from the cab, with a claw in front of the arm, which kept digging up the soil on the ground and piling it to the side, and soon, it would dig up a cliff more than two meters high.
"Battalion commander, what is this, tanks don't look like tanks." A small soldier who looked less than twenty asked their battalion commander, and the others also looked at Hu Yihu with a look of expectation.
However, Hu Yihu's answer made everyone a little disappointed, "I don't know what this is, it is estimated that it is something invented by foreigners, look, there are foreign texts on it, and only those foreigners can make these machines." Hu Yihu pointed to the pinyin on the hand of the excavator mechanical arm and said, pinyin is the product of unraveling/release, people in this era do not know what pinyin, in their opinion, only foreign language is like this.
Although it was different from the answer that everyone expected, they got a message from it, "This thing is foreign". "Could it be that the devil gave it to them?" Suddenly, one asked.
"No, I've seen the words of little devils, it's not like this. Moreover, if they were little devils, why didn't they do it just now, in our situation, if they suddenly did it, we wouldn't even have room to fight back. A very young man analyzed.
"Reasonable." Everyone nodded, agreeing with the words of this young man.
"Who knows? The devil has always been treacherous and cunning, will he be playing some ghost idea. The man seemed to be a little unwilling, and continued to justify his speculation.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense, keep staring at them." A middle-aged man couldn't help but say, this person seemed to have some authority, and as soon as he spoke, the team that was still chattering quietly quieted down.
After about ten minutes, a group of people watched the excavator keep repeating an action, and they were a little impatient, and just when they were about to complain, something suddenly appeared in front of them that shocked them.
In the rumble, a grass-green tank appeared in their sight, spitting black smoke, five pairs of load-bearing wheels slowly pressed over the ground that had just been dug up, inclined armor, 30.5 times the caliber, 76.2mm barrel, such a diameter of the gun has been compared to some of their mountain guns (the caliber of the tank barrel in this era is generally about 50mm), thicker than the tank barrel of the little devil, and it looks very powerful.
The first tank drove by slowly, the whole thing was exposed under their noses, and the second tank slowly drove into their field of vision, this tank was exactly the same as the previous one, and then the third, the fourth, the fifth, until all ten tanks had been driven, they were still shocked, how could there be so many tanks in a poor ravine (are there a lot?) again. and the machinery of foreigners.
After the tanks and excavators drove over, there was a group of people behind them, there were more than 1,000 people, and most of them were dressed up as peasants, resisting all kinds of tools, talking and laughing, and they didn't want to be oppressed at all, so they concluded that these people would not be foreigners, because foreigners would not be so good to the Chinese people.
