Chapter 20: A large number of recruits
Smooth!
Su Chen knew that among the troops rewarded by the system, it was possible to open a golden legend and an SSR-like character.
This was the case with the previous cold front.
However, Su Chen didn't expect that this time he would fire a sharpshooter again!
Su Chen still wanted to understand Shunyo.
This child is the son of Orion, who grew up drinking wolf milk, is very talented, and is a natural "sharpshooter".
Although he has a stubborn personality and some minor faults, he is not lacking in cuteness, and most of the time he is silent, but he often speaks amazingly, and he is crazy and persistent in performing tasks.
Su Chen's understanding of him is that this is an iron-blooded man who is affectionate, righteous, tenacious and as a wolf and a weed.
As usual, Su Chen asked the soldiers of the New Progressive Soldier Company to report to their homes.
I don't know anyone else except Shunyo.
As the company grew more and more, Su Chen felt the need to give them a number or something.
Otherwise, it's always this company and that company, and it's not easy to command.
And after that, maybe there will be more connections.
He himself was from the first battalion and the second company of the 357th regiment.
Then just go down the line.
Li Daring and the villagers of Hejianyu formed a "militia company."
When they have enough militia, they are renumbering.
Shun Yu's company is three companies.
His identity is only a company commander.
There is no other way than that.
He then followed the bandits to the mine.
There were a lot of absentees huddled together, hiding from the bombardment of the artillery platoon.
Through the map drawn by Ma Liu, Su Chen knew the approximate location of the mining area, which was not within the scope of the bombing.
In addition to here, there are grain warehouses, weapons depots and other places, which are no longer bombed.
It is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net in these places, so Su Chen asked Leng Feng and Shunyu to block the way out of the cottage and recruit or eliminate them.
During this period, there were also bandits who joined the Jin Sui Army to lobby the bandits who were hiding to surrender.
These things were left to them, and Su Chen set his sights on the minerals in the mining area.
After some inquiry.
Su Chen got two pieces of news, one good and one bad.
The good news is that the minerals here are not only iron ore, but also copper ore and saltpeter ore.
Copper ore can be used to make bullets.
Saltpeter ore was used to make gunpowder.
It can be said that with this mining area, Su Chen does not need to look for other minerals, and he can directly start the production line of the weapons obtained.
But the bad news is that the output of this mining area is not as much as Su Chen imagined.
Of course, no less.
It's just that Su Chen's goal is too big.
It is still possible to build three or four reinforced regiments of equipment.
"My lord, we are not bandits, we are just ordinary people who have been captured from nearby villages!"
"Can you let us all go?"
"We haven't killed anyone!"
Seeing Su Chen coming, they all looked at him with burning eyes.
After all, Su Chen is a bandit, so when they drive, Su Chen is probably a good person.
Maybe I'll agree to let them go.
Su Chen turned his head to look at them and sighed with some regret:
"I want to let you all go!"
"But what about you reporting the news of the mine to the devils?"
Hearing this, the miners immediately became nervous.
They have promised that they will never tell the news of the mining area.
I won't tell the devil.
However, in this era, there are too many people who betray their country for glory.
Su Chen really couldn't believe them.
And these minerals are too attractive to the devils.
Basically, every time the devils capture a place, they will send people to reconnoiter the place.
Determine if there are any minerals that can be mined back.
Guarantee the sustainability of the war.
Therefore, if the devils knew that there were minerals in this place, they would definitely spare no effort to knock this place down.
Su Chen couldn't take this risk.
"I can't trust you!"
He looked at the absenteeism in front of him and said word by word.
Hearing his words, the miners suddenly felt that the days ahead would be dark.
"Well, I thought we would be saved by the army on the mountain? After all, it's too much to think about! ”
"It's a pity that it's the bandits fought by the Jin Sui Army, if it's the Eighth Route Army, we will definitely be able to go home!"
"Jin Suijun is different from the Eighth Road, they don't treat us ordinary people as human beings, it's better to be the Eighth Road!"
"Jin Suijun is like this, what is the difference between it and bandits, it's still us who suffer!"
Several absentees whispered.
However, in the next second, they heard Su Chen say again:
"I can give you two options, though."
The miners were stunned for a moment, and they all looked up at Su Chen.
"The first choice, join our Jin Sui Army, become our logistics unit, mine these ores for us, and transport them to our base area!"
"The second option is to help us continue mining these ores until these ores are mined, and then you can go home!"
"Take your pick!"
There is almost no difference between the two options, both of them want them to mine ore, and the only difference is that they can join the Jin Sui army.
"By the way, I can remind you that there is a military salary to join our Jin Sui Army!"
As soon as they heard that there was still money to take, the miners who were still struggling suddenly stopped hesitating.
"I'm joining, I'm joining!"
"Oh, I'll just say, Jin Suijun is the best for our people, and he is willing to give us money!"
"That's it, this is much stronger than these bandits, not to mention letting us mine ore day and night, and giving us leftovers to eat!"
Previously these absentees were slaves, but now they can be said to have found a job.
In this troubled world, it is natural to be happy to have a place to beg for food.
Seeing that they all agreed, Su Chen called all the previous bandits over and said to them:
"From now on, you will be like them, mining ore every day!"
"Do you hear that?"
These bandits, who were accustomed to comfort, were a little unhappy when they heard that they had to do such heavy work.
One of the thorns was unwilling.
As a result, he was directly shot by Su Chen.
Killing bandits didn't have a little burden on his heart.
"Since you have joined my Jin Sui Army, obeying orders is your first lesson!"
"If I want to know who violated the military order, this is what will happen to him!"
"Do you hear that?"
Everyone trembled and said, "Listen...... Heard it! ”
Su Chen asked his subordinates to give them tools and start work today.
After arranging these guys.
Leng Feng and Shun Yu are also back.
"Report to the company commander, just now a total of 12 remnant bandits were found, three were killed in the counterattack, and nine were recruited, and none of them escaped!"
"In addition, more than 100,000 catties of white flour, rice, wheat and other grains were seized, and more than 2,500 pieces of the ocean were seized!"
"The weapons include 123 medium and formal rifles, 67 38 large covers, 267 Hanyang-made guns, 4 50-millimeter mortars, 4 light machine guns, 1 heavy machine gun, and several boxes of grenades, explosives, shells, and ammunition!"
Looking at these gains, Su Chen was very satisfied.
"100,000 catties of grain, enough for us to eat for three or four months!"
"Leave some food behind, and the ocean and weapons will all be transported to the base area!"
