Knocking and knocking, Zhang Ding also climbed dozens of meters along the path to the top of the cliff before walking down.

"Regiment Commander, the whole mountain is actually a stone mountain, which can be repaired, and the roads and mountain roads that are built do not need to be reinforced to withstand the bombing of devil planes. However, it was very difficult, I needed a lot of people, and a lot of explosives! Zhang Ding replied with a solemn face.

Seeing that Wang Ping didn't speak, Zhang Ding continued: "Factory director, I suggest changing places, if it is an ordinary mountain, the difficulty should be at least half small!" ”

"No, that's it!" Wang Ping said with great certainty.

"Although the mountain is a stone mountain, there is a water source on it. What's more, there are coal and iron mines around the mountain, and after the arsenal was established, these two resources were the most in demand. Building the arsenal here is the most convenient way to transport these two resources! ”

"Also, the terrain here is dangerous, as long as a company is arranged to guard the stone road you are going to build, even if the devil comes to a wing or a brigade, it will be impossible to capture our arsenal in a short time!"

"As for people and explosives, I'll figure it out for you. In a word, I will give you what you need. Two months, I'll give you two months at most, and you'll have to finish building a road and a cave. As for the rest of the caves, we can take our time! ”

After thinking about it, Zhang Ding affirmed: "As long as there are enough explosives and people, I promise to complete the task within two months!" ”

"Okay, in the next five days, you plan the route for me, choose the site in Shandong, and after five days, I will prepare everything you want!"

Back at the temporary station of the arsenal, Wang Ping found Yang Xiong.

"Director, people are definitely not a problem. Not to mention anything else, there are several thousand recruits directly under the military region alone. You go to the military region to ask for someone, and they will definitely give. The only problem is explosives, although the military district guard regiment is the chief of protection, but the equipment is the worst of all the troops, and the equipment and ammunition that the chief gets from below are almost always the front-line combat units first. Therefore, the military region will definitely not be able to provide us with explosives! Yang Xiong frowned and analyzed.

"Then grab it from the Japanese puppet army!" Wang Ping didn't say a word of nonsense, and decided directly.

Then he stared at Yang Xiong and asked, "How are the troops prepared!" ”

When he mentioned the troops, Yang Xiong's face was covered with a thick smile, and he replied happily: "The military region has sent five hundred recruits, and I will not leave any of them behind." Now, the three infantry companies are fully staffed, and the artillery platoon and heavy machine gun platoon are also fully staffed, and they are seizing the time to train! ”

"The only problem is that these recruits are all guerrillas who have just been recruited by the military region, and it turns out that a number of local troops have been transferred from all of them to the guard regiment and front-line combat units, so we can only pick the remaining guerrillas, and without two or three months of training, it is impossible to form combat effectiveness!"

Wang Ping's brows furrowed and analyzed: "The arsenal can't wait that long, I promised Zhang Ding that after five days, I will prepare two thousand catties of explosives and five hundred strong laborers for him, including one hundred stonemasons." So, in five days, we have to fight a battle to solve these problems! ”

"It's so hard!" Yang Xiong shook his head and replied.

As the battalion commander, no one knows better than Yang Xiong how to strengthen the battalion's current combat effectiveness.

It can be said that except for the veterans brought out by the independent regiment themselves, no one else can shoot except for shooting. In this case, to pull them to the battlefield is not to let them fight, but to send them to death.

After some hesitation, Yang Xiong suggested to Wang Ping: "Can you borrow troops from the guard regiment, don't talk about more, it's good to have a company!" ”

"No way!" Wang Ping replied categorically.

"The guard regiment is to protect the headquarters of the military region, and to protect the chief, it must not be moved unless it is absolutely necessary."

Wang Ping also knew that it was very unrealistic for a group of new recruits who had just come out of the guerrillas to fight against the elite devils, but in the face of increasingly tight time, he had to do so.

After some hesitation, he decisively decided: "Draw a reinforcement company from the whole battalion and conduct training alone." Don't we still have tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition, and we specially took 5,000 rounds to practice marksmanship, pulled them into the woods for intensive training, and by the way, stockpiled some meat for the arsenal. There will be a lot of manual labor in the arsenal next, and there must be an adequate supply of meat to ensure the progress of the arsenal! ”

"You go to do this, I'll go to the intelligence department of the military region to collect intelligence and see where we need around!"

The Japanese army was rarely equipped with explosives because it was well-equipped and had sufficient ammunition.

Unless the arsenal of the Japanese army is heavily defended, but if you want to take down the arsenal of the Japanese puppet army with a reinforced company, unless Wang Ping's head is burned out, he will definitely not make such a decision that is close to death.

After thinking about it, Wang Ping set his sights on the large and small coal mines and iron mines controlled by the Japanese puppet army.

Whether mining coal or iron ore, a large amount of explosives is required. And because of the lack of strength of the Japanese puppet army, most of the troops were concentrated on the front line to attack the squadron, although these mines brought a steady stream of income and resources to the Japanese army, the strength of the defense was very small.

The Japanese who controlled these mines also knew that these mines were targeted by the Eighth Route Army at any time, and when the regular army was insufficient, they recruited a large number of ronins and veterans from China to form a mine protection team to assist the army in protecting the mines.

Although these mine guards are not regular troops, because they are all veterans who have been discharged from the army, they are equipped and well-fed, and their combat effectiveness is no worse than that of the regular army.

What's more, the mines are all in the mountains, and the terrain is very dangerous. The mine protection team defended the danger, and also built a number of permanent fire points around the mines, unless there were enough troops and artillery, the Eighth Route Army would definitely not attack these mines casually.

And this gave Wang Ping an excellent opportunity to sneak attack the mine.

It had not been attacked for a long time, and the Japanese troops and mine guards who protected the mine must have been very lax. As long as you find the right time and launch a sudden attack, you will definitely be able to take a mine.

With the information provided by the intelligence department of the headquarters, the large and small mines controlled by the seven or eight Japanese puppet troops in the surrounding area were marked on Wang Ping's map.

Soon, a mine with more than 100 Japanese puppet troops was selected by Wang Ping.

The scale of this mine is not small, and the reason why there are only more than 100 Japanese puppet troops is because less than five kilometers away from the mine is the county seat, and the Japanese army has stationed an infantry brigade in the county seat. A rapid march by car to reinforce the mine could be reached in a maximum of ten minutes.

It is for this reason that the Japanese army is so arrogant that it uses more than 100 people to protect a mine, and it also has to watch nearly 2,000 absentees from the mine.

You must know that these absenteeism are not ordinary people, they are all anti-Japanese soldiers who were captured by the Japanese army on the battlefield and were unwilling to be dogs for devils.

"That's it, as long as the whole operation is fast enough, it will definitely be able to take it!" Wang Ping made a decision with a categorical face.
