When they arrived at the foot of Feiyunling Mountain, the left-behind troops of the third battalion discovered them, and when they saw that they were their own team, they naturally let them go, and Wu Ming, the commander of the third battalion, also rushed to greet them when they heard the news.

The officers and soldiers of the three companies took over, Wan Hu and his Huidaomen personnel were free, and Qiao Youhua asked Liu Xiaohai, the deputy commander of the reconnaissance company, to take them to Luquan to rest and wait for him.

Himself, Guo Meng, Wu Ming and others commanded three companies of officers and soldiers to start carrying gold to the mountain, after all, Feiyunling is Qiao Youhua's lair, and there are all kinds of fortifications in it, and it is still not suitable for outsiders to enter too much.

The mountain road was rugged, and the car could not go up until it reached the foot of the mountain, and the officers and soldiers began to carry it by manpower, Guo Meng looked at them, turned his head and asked Qiao Youhua: "These boxes are so heavy, they won't be filled with silver dollars, right?" ”

Qiao Youhua saw that there were all his henchmen and subordinates, so he stepped forward and walked to a car, took out a three-edged military thorn and pried open a wooden box, and immediately revealed a box full of yellow, orange and orange gold bars, which were neatly stacked in the box.

A large amount of gold reflected a dazzling light under the sunlight, and everyone was a little dizzy and raised their hands to cover it.

Guo Meng, Wu Ming, Zheng Yunshan, Liu Jianhua, Chen Bing and others were all a little dumbfounded, including Wu Ming, except for Wu Ming who had seen large amounts of dollars and other property when he surrounded and suppressed those drug lords in his previous life, where had anyone else seen so much gold, and when they thought of these big cars, they were all full.

Everyone's hearts couldn't help but beat at an accelerated pace, and they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"How many silver dollars is so much gold worth?" Guo Mengqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and said.

"It's not much, 120 million." Qiao Youhua lit a cigarette and said lightly.

Wu Ming, Liu Jianhua, Zheng Yunshan, and Chen Bing couldn't help but swallow their saliva, 120 million, what kind of concept is this?

You must know that each of them has a monthly military salary of only a dozen yuan, and the shock and impact of so much money on them can be imagined.

At this moment, they realized that it was no wonder that Qiao Youhua dared to say that he was not bad for money before, because he had such a rich confidence.

In fact, war is the most money-burning, to build a strong military industry, industrial system to form a strong armed force, the amount of money required is unimaginable, at least this 10 million pounds worth of gold is really nothing.

To use the simplest analogy, it costs hundreds of millions of dollars to build an aircraft carrier with a tonnage of 30,000 or 40,000 tons, not counting the cost of forming an aircraft carrier battle group with other ships, aircraft, ammunition, fuel, and the investment in training naval personnel.

Of course, for the current scale of the Feiyunling anti-Japanese base area, for the current Dragon Tooth Task Force, this 10 million pounds is still an astronomical amount of money.

"It's good that you know about this news, so don't spread it for the time being, after all, the less people know, the safer it will be for us." Qiao Youhua instructed.

Everyone was excited and nodded in agreement.

After placing the gold, Qiao Youhua instructed Wu Ming to guard strictly, so he returned to Luquan County with Guo Meng and others with a reconnaissance company and a guard company.

Before leaving, of course, he also took away some gold worth millions of silver dollars, which was to be given to Wan Hu as a reward.

returned to Luquan County and gave the reward to Wan Hu, Wan Hu first resolutely refused to accept it, and finally couldn't resist Qiao Youhua's enthusiasm, so he accepted it.

The gang of disciples under him have received a lot of rewards, and they are naturally more loyal, and they are grateful to Qiao Youhua for their hard work, and they have played a role that cannot be ignored for the future transportation routes and the construction of the base of the Dragon Tooth Task Force. Of course, that's an afterthought.

Wan Hu and his party stayed in Luquan for two days and left, but Hu Linger stayed.

On this day, Qiao Youhua, accompanied by Guo Meng and others, entered the underground tunnel that had just been opened in the city from an underground entrance in the compound of the regiment headquarters.

Entering the tunnel, a mixed smell of dirt and kerosene came to my nose, although it was not very good, but it was bearable.

On the wall of the tunnel, there is a protrusion every three to five meters, and an oil lamp is placed on it to ensure the lighting in the tunnel.

The underground tunnels are densely intertwined like spider webs, if it weren't for Qiao Youhua's design drawings in hand, plus the soldiers who participated in the excavation and construction to guide the way, I'm afraid they would all have to get lost.

This tunnel not only has entrances and exits in the courtyards of every household and the main streets and alleys in the city, but also connects the field defense positions outside the city, forming a three-dimensional comprehensive defense position.

After walking through the labyrinthine underground tunnels for about half an hour, Qiao Youhua and his party came out of a trench in the field defense position in the east of the city.

Out of the tunnel, Guo Meng said to Qiao Youhua: "Now send a tunnel outside the south gate to the bottom of Feiyunling Mountain to dig through, and the entire underground tunnel project of Luquan will be completed." ”

"Well, speed up the progress, although this tunnel is relatively long and consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, but once it is excavated, there will be a valuable and safe underground communication line between Luquan and Feiyunling, and Feiyunling's troops and ammunition can be quietly transported to Luquan.

At the critical moment, the people of Luquan and their materials can also be evacuated to Feiyunling through the underground tunnel of Guò, which can be regarded as leaving a back road for ourselves. Qiao Youhua nodded.

In fact, the role of this tunnel is far more than that, 10,000 steps back, if the future defense of Luquan reaches the most dangerous moment, after the Luquan outer defense line is broken through by the Japanese army, the Japanese army will definitely divide into two roads, cut off the connection between Feiyunling and Luquan, and divide and surround the two places.

So it is self-evident how important this underground tunnel traffic line is.

Everything, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, and it is always prepared to leave a way back for yourself.

Guo Meng and the others nodded and wrote down, and Guo Meng spoke again: "Now there is one more thing we have to prepare in advance." ”

"What's the matter?" Qiao Youhua lit a cigarette and asked.

"At most half a month, the autumn harvest will arrive, according to the people, this year's grain is ripe early, it must be a bumper harvest, and now most of our young and strong laborers are transferred to Magou Town and Erdaogou to build tunnels.

Once the grain is ripe, I'm afraid there will be no one to harvest it. It is self-evident how important food is, and the devils and puppet soldiers will definitely not let go of this opportunity. Guo Mengdao.

When Qiao Youhua heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he muttered: "In this way, the fortifications of Magou and Erdaogou cannot be temporary, and digging tunnels is also heavy work, women are always not as fast as men, and subsidies are given to every household, two oceans per person per day."

Let the people rest assured that they will support us in building fortifications, and then the political commissar will come forward to organize the women and children of the whole city to form a women and children's harvest team, and our dragon tooth task force will be responsible for covering, from far and near, to harvest food.

Don't worry about the land in Luquan and Zhengding, first rob the grain in Shimen and Heping Mountain, and Lingshou County, and try not to leave the food to the devils and puppet army as much as possible! ”
