Zhang Dabiao took the soldiers of the first battalion, and after evacuating Taolingou, he asked the deputy battalion commander Luo Dafei to retreat to the base area with the people, but he took the guard squad and rode the war horse of the communication squad to prepare to leave the team.

Luo Dafei hurriedly asked:

"Battalion commander, why are you going?"

Zhang Dabiao smiled slightly, and replied without looking back:

"Of course, we want to pay for our part-time jobs this time!"

……

Soon, Zhang Dabiao rode his horse to the Shuiquan Coal Mine.

When he saw the craters and battle marks everywhere in this coal mine, he couldn't help but secretly say to himself: This battle is fierce, no wonder he heard such violent cannon fire and explosions before.

Asked the soldiers of the special battalion to report to Yang Yuanshan, and Zhang Dabiao looked around as the soldiers of the special battalion cleaned up the battlefield.

He saw that these people basically did not pick up the guns and ammunition, but instead led mules and horses, drove carts, and the corpses of martyrs were carried on the carts, and their faces became a little solemn.

Judging from the number of remains, it seems that the loss of the special service battalion this time is not small.

Just as he was thinking about it, two of his old subordinates from the new regiment saw him and hurriedly came up to greet him:

"Old battalion commander, why are you here too?"

Zhang Dabiao took a look at it and immediately greeted happily:

"Sun Dapeng, Qin Zhiqiang, how are you two dogs?

In the hands of Captain Ding, he didn't embarrass Lao Tzu, right? ”

"Haha, that can't be!

We are all men brought out by the regiment commander and the old battalion commander, can we embarrass you? ”

Qin Zhiqiang and Sun Dapeng laughed.

The "head of the regiment" in their mouths is naturally Li Yunlong.

When the old comrades-in-arms met, they were very affectionate, and the three of them enthusiastically described their respective situations.

When the two people of the new regiment learned that Zhang Dabiao now had nearly 2,000 people in one battalion, they couldn't help but be very envious and couldn't help but say:

"Old battalion commander, you and the regiment commander will develop the team!

Our new regiment now has no more than 2,000 people.

There are so many people in one of your battalions, you are nominally the battalion commander, but you are living the life of a regiment commander! ”

If Ding Wei heard what they said, he would definitely have to kick them.

But when Zhang Dabiao heard it, he didn't mention how happy he was.

Hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"If your team wants to develop, you have to work your own.

Find a little devil and two devils to fight, and the personnel and equipment will all come?

Are you still waiting for your superiors to give you guns, ammunition and soldiers? ”

When the two heard this, they nodded again and again, thinking in their hearts that they had to mention it to Ding Wei and fight a few more battles.

In the past, Li Yunlong was the head of the regiment, but they had a small fight in three days and a big fight in five days.

Since this is still a battlefield, both of them also have tasks in their bodies, so they didn't say too much to Zhang Dabiao, and after a few simple chats, they made an appointment to have a chance to drink when they came back, and then said goodbye and left.

As soon as they left, Yang Yuanshan rushed over under the leadership of the soldiers:

"Battalion commander, why are you here?

Afraid I won't give you those thousand guns? ”

"That's not true, can I still believe you?

I wanted to see how much you guys got out of it! ”

Zhang Dabiao shook his head.

He knows better than anyone else about the wealth of the special service battalion, and he will definitely not rely on his accounts.

"Haha, not much.

I gave up my weapons, ammunition, food, and cotton clothes to the new regiment.

Our battalion took away more than 200 mules, horses, and livestock. ”

"Good fellows!

The new clump is fat!

Or you kid is emotional! ”

Zhang Dabiao admired Yang Yuanshan a little.

Which regiment of our army does not lack equipment today?

There are really not many military commanders like Yang Yuanshan.

Even in the Battle of Luoyang after the defeat of the devils, for the sake of the trophies, there were contradictions between the brother troops, if it were not for the brigade commander's atmosphere, things might have been out of control.

Yang Yuanshan waved his hand:

"Haha, this is what I discussed with Head Ding in advance.

Our battalion was able to get more than 200 mules and horses, and I was satisfied.

In this battle, we eliminated a lot of little devils, which is the biggest gain. ”

What he said was sincere, because in this battle, it was just a matter of killing those little devils, and the most important thing was to beat down 13 bombers of the little devils, and the system rewarded a lot of good things!

In a bomber, there are 2 pilots, this one, directly kill the 26 pilots of the little devil, it's cool to think about!

Every pilot, for the little devil, is noble and precious!

Much more valuable than 100 infantrymen!

Of course, Zhang Dabiao didn't understand the deep meaning of his words, but he felt that Yang Yuanshan's ideological consciousness didn't know when, and he had surpassed himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Then he and Yang Yuanshan informed each other about the situation on their respective battlefields just now, and then asked:

"You promised me the 38 big cover and soldiers before, when will you give it to me?"

Although he believed that Yang Yuanshan would not repay his debts, he had been with Li Yunlong for a long time, and naturally he had learned his habitual characteristics of being in the bag.

"Battalion commander, soldiers, we rescued four or five thousand miners, and it's no problem to give you a thousand, but you have to recruit yourself, and whether people are willing to follow you depends on your ability.

But if you have guns, when we return to Qixia Town, you can send someone to transport them. ”

Of course, this is just a pretext, when Yang Yuanshan was about to turn around and walk to Yangshugou, he sent someone to inform Zhang Dabiao to get the gun.

"Good! I'm going to pull people! ”

Zhang Dabiao agreed, and asked Yang Yuanshan to send someone to lead the way.

Seeing that he was so eager, Yang Yuanshan did not stop him, and arranged for a soldier to take them to Han Yang.

Soon, Zhang Dabiao went to the team of rescued miners, assumed the identity of the commander of the first battalion of his independent regiment, and gave full play to his three-inch tongue, and successfully fooled seven or eight hundred miners who were willing to go with him.

For these miners, many people have indeed heard of Li Yunlong's name, and they have also heard of Zhang Dabiao and others seizing the flag of the Bantian United.

can follow such a heroic figure as a soldier, they are naturally willing.

After saying hello to Yang Yuanshan, Zhang Dabiao took these people to evacuate to his base.

……

It's already dark.

But the little devil's Shuiquan Coal Mine is still very bright.

And it's warm.

The crash of the little devil's plane ignited the gas in the coal mine, and now the gas has burned out, but the raw coal in the mine has been ignited, and a raging fire is still emerging, and the ground is warm.

The fire was just the right place to warm and light the soldiers, so that they could clean up the battlefield and search for supplies.

Yang Yuanshan and the guards also came to the wall of the coal mine, and saw that this huge mining area was disturbing at the moment, and countless ragged miners were carrying the machines in the coal mine under the command of the soldiers of the special service battalion.

All of them are very hard-working.

They also don't want the underground coal mine to be dug up by the little devils, and they heard that the machinery will be removed, so that the little devils' coal mines will not be able to continue production for a long time, and they are very enthusiastic.

And just like that, time passed little by little......

……

It was late at night.

The soldiers of the new regiment had finished cleaning up the battlefield, had already carried food and other supplies, and evacuated south with five or six hundred soldiers recruited from the miners.

Ding Wei came over to say goodbye to Yang Yuanshan:

"Yang Yuanshan, our new regiment has withdrawn, you should also withdraw as soon as possible, don't be bitten by the little devil."

"Well, head Ding rest assured.

But in the future, you'd better write a combat report as soon as possible and send it to the brigade commander.

This time, we made such a big move, I guess the headquarters knew about it. ”

Saying that, Yang Yuanshan felt a little weak.

Originally, he thought that if he easily took the Shuiquan Coal Mine, the special battalion and the new regiment would each suffer more than 100 casualties, and the higher-level leaders should not say anything.

But I didn't expect that now the little devil actually came with 24 bombers in one fell swoop, resulting in a total of five or six hundred casualties among the two troops.

Directly lose half a regiment!

What's more, Zhang Dabiao's first battalion also suffered more than 200 casualties.

Taken together, this can definitely be called a huge casualty.

But as for the result, if you don't count the 13 bombers and the four or five thousand miners rescued, only two squadrons of little devils and more than 100 mine policemen were eliminated.

A proper loss-making battle.

When things are like this, he feels that if he is the superior leader, he may at least have to give himself a demerit, and it is even very likely that he will be removed from his post directly.

That's why he reminded Ding Wei now, the purpose is, of course, to ask Ding Wei to take the responsibility for starting the battle on his own head.

After all, he had taken so many benefits from Yang Yuanshan!

There is a pot, he has to carry it well!

Ding Weiduo is a smart person, of course, he also understands what Yang Yuanshan meant, nodded, patted his chest and promised:

"Don't worry, I, Ding Wei, spit on a nail, must have written in the report that this attack on the Shuiquan Coal Mine was thought up by me Ding Wei, and your spy battalion and the first battalion were just invited by me to help."

"Hehe, Captain Ding is righteous!"

Yang Yuanshan was overjoyed, and then remembered one thing, and hurriedly explained:

"Before, we agreed to exchange cannonballs, I heard Xizi say, he picked 8 people from your company, and you can send someone to my Qixia Town to get 400 cannonballs!"

Just after the battle, Ding Wei selected more than 20 sharpshooters from his regiment and asked Yang Yuanshan to receive them.

He sent Wang Xikui to try the marksmanship of these people, and finally picked out the strongest 8 people, so he will confess like this now.

"Okay, after a few days to avoid the limelight of the little devil, I'll send someone."

Ding Wei nodded.

The loss of 8 sharpshooters, of course, was heartbroken.

But the thought of being able to get back 400 shells made him feel good again.

400 shells!

How many turrets is that?

He instantly felt that his artillery company was more generous than the artillery battalion of the division commander.

At least the artillery battalion of the division commander will most likely not be able to take out 400 shells.

……

Ding Wei withdrew with the soldiers of the new regiment.

Yang Yuanshan also hurriedly sent people to gather the team and evacuate quickly.

However, he did not forget to let the soldiers load some coal on the backs of the evacuated mules and horses and on the carts.

This is a good fuel, whether it is given to the people in the base area along the way, or taken back to Qixia Town to strike iron, it is the best.

Anyway, the dilapidated houses of the common people these days are basically leaking everywhere, and they are not worried that using this thing for heating will cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

In addition to taking away the coal, before Yang Yuanshan left, he also asked the soldiers to blow up all the mines of the little devil with bombs.

In this way, it is absolutely impossible for the little devil to resume coal production again without half a year.

And half a year later, he estimated that he might already have the strength to win the water spring.

When the time comes, if the little devil resumes the production of the coal mine, then it is just right for himself to pick up a bargain.

After taking the coal mine in World War I, he arranged for people to mine it.

When the time came, the little devil saw that the coal mine they had worked hard to recover was finally made a wedding dress for Yang Yuanshan, and he didn't know how congested he would be.

When Yang Yuanshan thought about it, he felt so refreshed.

……

The soldiers of the whole battalion carried torches, and evacuated to the west, walked a few miles, and met Han Yang with someone running over and asking Yang Yuanshan:

"Battalion commander, we have buried all the machinery in the coal mine, but among those miners, two or three thousand are unwilling to go with us, saying that they want to go home to farm, and some are prisoners of the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army, saying that they want to go back to find their own troops, what should we do?"

"What else can I do?

Of course, I sent them some dry food, and asked them to go back to their own homes and find their own mothers. ”

Yang Yuanshan glanced at him, and said in his heart: Can we still force others to be soldiers?

Is this not taking the discipline of our army into account?

"But if these people go back, won't they leak the location where we buried the machine?"

"If it is leaked, it will be leaked, there are many people who are talkative, and they can't stop it.

I believe that since these people can be arrested as miners, they should not be traitors. ”

Yang Yuanshan waved his hand.

He felt that since these miners had not been transformed into dog traitors before, there should be no reason for them to be dogs in the future.

Hearing him say this, Han Yang also felt a little reasonable, immediately nodded and went to make arrangements.

Half an hour later, he took the remaining seven or eight hundred miners who were willing to join the special battalion, caught up with Yang Yuanshan's large army, converged together, and headed north.

The miners, who did not want to join the army, scattered into the dark night in groups of three or five, not knowing if they would find their way.
