Chapter 399: Crossing the border
After confirming that the North Koreans were willing to work as miners, Bao Luyang made a decision, then go! Go to Wencheng County to bring a group of miners back.
There are still a lot of existing pits in Liaozhong, but in addition to the quarries and coal mines not far from Pingyang that are operating at full capacity, other iron mines, copper mines and other mines are understaffed, which is mainly due to two reasons: one is that mining is too tired, and although Pingyang attaches more importance to the safety of miners, it is still a dangerous industry, and the other is the price.
With the influx of materials in the direction of Northeast China, Beiyuan, Songjiang and Daji, the price of minerals has even fallen, and some people have calculated that if the miners are given the salaries of ordinary workers, the cost is already almost reaching the purchase price of raw materials.
But with the arrival of spring, several railways will be closed again, and if the same grain harvest is expected, then it is foreseeable that the price of raw materials will rise and the grain will be degraded.
Then it is necessary to open a mine now.
But now the refugees are dividing the land, and they would rather go to the farm than to the mine, so now they are facing the problem of not having miners.
This is a well-known problem among the top leaders in Binh Duong, so when Bao Luyang heard that these North Koreans were willing to work as miners and even sign agreements, it was necessary to snatch these 10,000 people.
Anyway, Hunbian County is not far from Wencheng County, and it is just after crossing the bridge, as for the so-called army of Liu Jinguang in Wencheng, in their opinion, it is a joke.
It is said that this Liu Jinguang has no more than a thousand armed forces under his command, and the so-called imitation AK-47 and AK74 58-type and 98-type rifles are only a few 5.00 calibers, not to mention, even this kind of gun, it is said that there are only about 300 guns, and each soldier has less than two magazines.
Therefore, with an infantry battalion as the main force and a cavalry platoon as a reconnaissance, more than 700 men crossed the bridge where the boundary monument was erected.
Cui Shengyin smiled and said to the company commander: "Are we going to fight the border?" β
The company commander said with a smile: "What is that, in fact, the established strategy of the army commander all the way to the south, maybe it is even the Korean Peninsula with fewer entanglements to open the knife first, don't you think, if we occupy the Korean Peninsula, then we can advance and retreat freely?" β
"Who knows? Today we are here to rob people, not to occupy the territory, and to leave after grabbing people. β
The distance was only twenty or thirty kilometers, and they slept in Wencheng County that night, and the next morning, the cavalry came to report that they had met the enemy.
"Did you make a final announcement?" Nie Meng, the commander of the 7th Battalion of the 2nd Nirvana Regiment, wore a military coat, stood on the mountain bag and looked at the past with a telescope.
"Send it in, at eight o'clock in the morning, the whole city will be armed out of the city and surrender, otherwise an attack will be launched."
The cavalry platoon commander said.
Nie Mengren shook the coins in his hand tallly, bared his teeth, and said with a smile: "That's okay, a group of backward local stubborn people will destroy them in minutes." Tell the troops to be ready for battle, this battle, I don't want the enemy to surrender like this! β
It may be that the North Koreans heard Nie Meng's words, and at eight o'clock, a shell shot out of the low earthen city, blowing up dust.
"120 mortars, these stubborn people are quite good, sue sΓΉ two companies three times and four companies to outflank me, don't let anyone out! A company with a firepower company to attack head-on, twenty minutes later, attack! β
This time, not even the starting position was built, but some concealment facilities were made in a forest.
After the enemy fired from that demonstration-like shell, there was no movement, Nie Mengle, these sticks, it was very interesting.
Cui Shengyin was lying on the ground, holding a rifle in his hand, their company was pinned on high hopes as a frontal attacking company, and the battalion commander meant that this time he would let the first company fight with the firepower company.
"Forward!" The company commander gave the order to advance, a company in front, a fire company in the rear, slowly advancing towards the low city, this city is called Xinwen City, the city wall is only three meters high, this is all those who followed the North Koreans said, they hated Liu Jinguang entrenched in this city, and they did not feel guilty at all about leading the Chinese army into the court.
The Pingyang army is well-trained, and the teaching brigade is even more experienced in a hundred battles, and has long been prepared, and the soldiers are holding the gasoline barrels that have been prepared for a long time, and the weight is not light or heavy, and a soldier can push this thing out six or seven meters away.
"Push!" There were ten gasoline barrels in a row, and they were pushed out side by side, they were used to wade through traps and mines, and they could also serve as cover when the enemy attacked.
"Boom!" A gasoline drum was blown up several meters, and a company commander said: "Damn! There are really mines! Artillery! Fry me! β
The two light mortars of the fire company platoon of 12 81-mm mortars were quickly fixed on the ground and began to clear the road ahead of them with an artillery strike, and in a place with a width of only 30 or 40 meters, more than 20 mines and more than 30 traps were blown up, which was only more than 400 meters away from the city wall.
"Three rows! Four rows! You hit from the main gate, I don't believe they also set mines and traps on the main road, they don't have that time, and the others will rush with me on this exploding road! β
When he rushed forward three hundred meters from the city wall, the enemy began to shoot, and this shot made the company commander breathe a sigh of relief.
"His grandmother's, more than 300 meters to start shooting, your guns can hit, but can you hit it!" The commander of the fire company measured the distance with his fingers, ordered the heavy machine gun platoon to form a position on the spot, and aimed the four heavy machine guns at the head of the city and began to suppress the fire.
And the mortars also concentrated their fire on the city wall, watching the dirty walls being blown off one by one, Nie Meng, who was watching the battle from behind, said: "His grandmother's, the earth is piled up on the city wall, this thing is too trivial to make a fuss with artillery bombing!" β
The shooting on the city wall continued, but there was no coherence and accuracy at all, and when the troops advanced to fifty meters below the city, the firepower was not much density at all, and the city wall was also blown up several gaps, and many people were also killed, and there were not many people who dared to resist on the city wall, and the commander of a company occupied the city wall with the support of the fire company, but four brothers died, looking at the soldiers who rushed up with cold weapons, Cui Shengyin shouted in Korean:
"Surrender or kill!"
But these people were fanatical leaders of the faith, and the company commander shook his head and gave the order to shoot.
The power of five and a half at close range, that is the power that can make a large patch of the human body! R1148
