Northwest Shanxi had always been rich in resources, especially coal.
Jinbei, not far to the north, had existing coal mines. Before and after the outbreak of the war, Datong alone had eight large coal mines, including the Jinbei Mining Bureau, Baojin Company, Baoheng Company, Hengyi Company, Silaogou, and Hulaowan. However, not long after the war broke out, they were all occupied by the Japanese.
Although the forces in the northwest of Jin were intertwined, in fact, other than the Central Army, the Jinsui Army, the Royal Association Army, the Japanese, and the Color Party, there was another force that came from the pseudo-regime established by the feudal forces. Mongolia Cobalt United Government.
He temporarily left Duan Peng with Li Yunlong as his personal guard. He brought along The Monk, Hu Zi, and Wang Chengzhu. Wu Jian set off the next day to explore the Kuangqu.
"Sir, why did you leave that new recruit Duan Peng behind to be Regiment Commander Li's guard while I ran out?”
When Wei Da Yong saw Li Yun Long, the main character, he started to lose control. For some reason, this silly monk seemed to be able to sense something. For example, Wei Da Yong had a reaction when he killed Lynx.
When Wei Da Yong saw Li Yun Long yesterday, he felt that Li Yun Long was very close to him. When Wu Jian asked everyone to leave, this guy even looked back at Li Yun Long a few times.
"Monk, do you want to go with Commander Li to the clothing factory behind the 8th route to embroider, or do you want to follow me to kill the Japanese and steal the equipment? I'll give you the freedom.”
"If you choose Regiment Commander Li, I, Wu Jian, will not make things difficult for you. However, if you decide to stay by my side, then do things wholeheartedly. Don't follow this and think about that, understand?”
In fact, Wu Jian didn't want Wei Da Yong to leave. During this period of time, the monk and Duan Peng had been the most used to it.
"Sir, that's not what I meant.”
"I won't leave the commanding officer. You're my savior, and you're helping me fight against the Japanese. I just feel that Duan Peng is just a little kid. Why doesn't he come out to carry out missions with me?”
Wei Da Yong's expression was serious as he expressed his true thoughts. It turned out that it wasn't because he couldn't extricate himself from the situation when he saw Li Yunlong, but because he always felt that he was a head taller than Duan Peng.
Wu Jian didn't explain. Should he tell Wei Da Yong that he was the one who poached Li Yun Long's side and pulled the two Tiger Generals who should have belonged to him to his side?
"Haha, silly monk, let me tell you. Our Guild Leader isn't someone that just anyone can take a fancy to. A meat-and-wine monk like you who eats meat and drinks wine is definitely not worthy of my Guild Leader's eyes.”
"Our regiment commander mentioned to us that he started practicing martial arts when he was eight years old. He knows a thing or two about southern boxing and northern kicking. When he was fourteen years old, he could stand up a stone on the grain-sunning ground with a roll. Our regiment commander has also practiced the Iron Head Technique before. He's very powerful!”
Wang Chengzhu and Hu Zi started to tease him again. The four of them chatted and laughed as they started to head further north.
A day later, they arrived near a coal mine in Hu Lao Wan. However, before they entered Kuangqu, they made an unexpected discovery on the high slope outside. A group of men in shabby clothes and holding large swords and spears were quietly moving.
After Hu Zi went forward to communicate with them, they found out that this group of people belonged to the coal mine's guerrilla group. It was started by a miner, Peng Youfu, who was less than 30 years old. He was fighting against the Japanese's oppression and barbaric rule.
"Big Brother Peng, I am the commander of the Chinese Anti-Japanese Alliance. I, Wu Jian, deeply admire your courage to resist in the center controlled by the Japanese!”
"Keep these ammunition and guns. They can help you fight the Japanese.”
After chatting with each other for a while, Wu Jian asked Wei Da Yong and the others to put down their guns and hand them over to the group.
"Since that's the case, I'll accept your request. I thank you on behalf of the 2,000 miners who were bullied in our mine.”
"You can't enter and exit the Kuangqu wearing this. There's an old Mr. Hu Xuchu in the Hudian in front. He's the old mine manager of our Hulaowan coal mine. Just tell him that he's my friend and he'll help you.”
Under Peng Youfu's introduction, Wu Jian had a preliminary understanding of Hu Xuchu.
In his early years, because his family was well-off, Old Master Hu had traveled all over the world to do business. However, as he traveled more and gained more knowledge, Old Master Hu realized that China's overall industrial foundation was still very weak. Even the more developed Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai areas were mainly light industries such as textile.
In the end, the old man sold all his possessions and came to the northern part of Shanxi Province to open a mine. He started as an ordinary miner in his own coal mine until he reached the point where even the foreign engineers he hired gave him a thumbs up.
Later on, the Hulaowan coal mine indeed had a few years of golden development. Just as Old Master Hu was about to recover his investment and see the profits, the Japanese came.
Old man Hu Xuchu had a very strong backbone. He had been to Hei Jiliao's side in his early years and knew about the Japanese plundering the resources in the occupied areas. Therefore, before he left the Kuangqu, he bought a large amount of explosives from the local garrison at a high price and directly blew up the mine that he had worked hard for more than ten years.
Later, the Japanese came to the Kuangqu to redeploy the equipment and repaired the Hulaowan coal mine. After half a year, it was finally able to produce ore again. Old man Hu Xuchu did not take his relatively rich family property away from this big whirlpool. He took out all his money and bought all kinds of supplies, including guns and ammunition, to arm his old miners and let them destroy the Japanese's coal mine.
He persisted for three to four years. When Wu Jian saw Hu Xuchu, who looked no different from ordinary people who herded sheep in northern Shanxi, it was hard to imagine that this person in front of him was once a wealthy businessman.
"Old man, how many Japanese soldiers are stationed in our coal mine? Also, I heard from Peng Youfu that there are nearly a hundred guerrillas in our Kuangqu. If you guys are willing, how about we do something big?”
After getting to know Hu Xuchu, Wu Jian immediately made a suggestion. There was nothing he could do. He was already used to fighting, and he just could not bear to see the Japanese have it easy. Even if it was just to blow up the mine and interrupt the speed at which the Japanese were seizing China's resources, it would be a huge profit for Wu Jian.
