The silver mine was taken.
Indeed, in this silver mine, there were a hundred men who were so thin that only bones were left. Their clothes were tattered and they had been exploited for a long time.
It was understood that Wang Yunsheng of the Xiaowang Village was extremely harsh on them. After they were captured, he used a high-pressure policy. He did not let them out, nor did he give them money. He only gave them porridge.
Pei Zhan was silent as he thought about how to deal with the hundred miners.
Due to the harsh environment and long-term malnutrition, these people obviously could not do any physical work.
In the end, it was decided that those who stayed to continue working would be paid fifteen silver coins a month, three meals a day, three meals of meat a week, six days of work, one day of rest, and could go home to visit their relatives.
The workers of the Shanghai textile factory were paid 30 silver dollars a month. In this small place, 15 silver dollars a month should be enough. When it developed in the future, they would increase their wages.
Those who were unwilling to stay were sent home with two silver coins each.
It was unknown whether it was because Pei Zhan was from the national army and looked honest, or the treatment he offered was more reasonable, or he was used to being bullied for a long time and did not have the spirit to resist.
Or perhaps it was because Pei Zhan and the others had guns and cannons and were more terrifying than Xiaowang Village.
In short.
Only five people chose to leave, and the rest stayed.
Pei Zhan did not stand on ceremony and paid a month's worth of silver coins in front of everyone.
As for those guards who surrendered, they immediately disarmed themselves and sent men to escort them to the base. It would be a waste not to have free labor.
Now that the country was facing a crisis, if he had the leisure to bully the people, he might as well go to the front line to resist the Japanese and contribute to the country.
He didn't have any psychological burden.
……
Xiaowangzhuang was five times bigger than Dongzhuang Village, which had wiped out the Japanese squadron.
Of course, he still couldn't escape the fate of cracked mud walls and messy thatched roofs.
However, the center of Xiaowang Village was a large courtyard with black tiles and bricks.
"These unruly people are getting lazier and lazier."
"Recently, our efficiency has been too low.”
"No, we have to keep up with the progress of the Imperial Army, or General Shanu will blame us again.”
Taro Deno was lying on a recliner, leisurely listening to the news on the radio.
He was the second batch of spies that Japan sent to China, mainly to mine.
On the surface, he was Wang Yunsheng, but his real identity was Taro Deno from Japan.
Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, Japan had sent a large number of spies to China. Apart from Northeast China and North China, there were also Japanese spies in Central China, such as Jinling, Hankou, Kaifeng, Changsha, and other places.
Taro Deno was just one of many spies.
"The Chinese people can't cause any big waves anymore.”
As a spy, he naturally knew the situation at the front line. From the outbreak of the Lugouqiao incident, there was no suspense.
As for the Battle of Shanghai, he felt that the Chinese would not be able to stop the Japanese Imperial Army.
In the Battle of Songhu, it could be seen from the number of troops invested by both sides that the Chinese and the Japanese Imperial Army were three to one!
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were fighting against 200,000 Japanese soldiers, and they were still at a disadvantage. Just thinking about it made him want to laugh.
"Yesterday's Miss Hua was really not bad. Her body was soft and comfortable.”
He thought of the pretty girl that his subordinate had sent over yesterday.
Taro Deno felt much better and could not help but hum a tune.
At this moment-
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Three cannon shots suddenly rang out.
Notaro's body trembled.
What was going on?
The sound of the cannon was too unusual.
This seemed to be the direction of the silver mine.
Did something happen to the silver mine?
When he thought of this, he no longer had any happy thoughts.
He immediately jumped up from the rattan chair and ran out of the house.
"Men!"
"Gather!"
"Gather!"
As he ran, he shouted. He was in his fifties, and he had the stamina of a young man.
However, just as he ran out of the door.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out.
The next moment, a sniper bullet pierced through his head, bringing up some brain matter.
One shot!
On a dense tree, Natasha was wearing a dark leather jacket, a dark beret, and the camouflage of green plants. Even her gun was wrapped tightly, completely blending into the dense branches and leaves.
The only thing that didn't match was that the muzzle of the Mosinaga sniper rifle was emitting some smoke.
Right after she fired the gun.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A large wave of grenades was thrown at the main gate of the Wang Fortress and exploded instantly.
The powerful explosive force blew the door into pieces.
More than a dozen of them rushed in with submachine guns.
These soldiers had excellent military qualities, like veterans who had been on the battlefield for many years.
Good spear technique, fast reaction speed, one against ten.
Sometimes grenades, sometimes submachine gun shots. In between attacks, it was inevitable that people would lose their combat strength.
……
"Boring!"
Natasha snorted and fell from the dense branches.
He had thought that there would be a carefree battle.
In the end, it was just a little intense battle.
After losing more than ten people, the other party surrendered.
A bunch of motley crew!
……
"Japanese?"
However, when they searched the Wang Castle, they saw a radio station, a password book, and documents, which surprised Natasha.
In addition, they also found a lot of money.
Taro Deio disguised himself as a Chinese and had been operating here for many years, so he naturally had a lot of stock.
"Send a message to the commander!"
"Our troops have taken down the Wang Fortress!"
Natasha waved at the communicator next to her.
