"We are all factory workers..." A man in a coat stood up gingerly and replied.
After questioning, Huo Guang realized that the people locked up here were workers from the arsenal and military industry experts.
The troops stationed here were worried that the factory would be breached by the attacking troops and these personnel would fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, so they gathered these people here.
But Huo Guang understood the reason after thinking about it carefully. If it came to that point, these workers would definitely be beaten to death, otherwise the little devil would not send two people to guard them.
These workers didn't know what their future fate would be, and looked at Huo Guang in horror.
The only road has been blocked, and these workers don't know what to do. They are not in the battle order, they are just logistics personnel.
If they were all Japanese soldiers, this would be easier to handle. Just give all the bullets to Tutu and that would be it.
Since he was working in an arsenal, Huo Guang thought about it and realized that these were rare talents in the team.
If the army captures this factory, workers will certainly be needed to operate the machines.
Although they were all Japanese, Huo Guang still resisted the urge to fight with them.
"Do you want to live or die?" Huo Guang asked directly.
They were all workers, and naturally none of the Japanese soldiers had the idea that they could not be captured and would have to die to apologize if they were caught.
When they heard that they could survive, they nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
After all, they still have their own daughters and families in their hometown far away.
Huo Guang then continued: "I won't say any more nonsense. If you want to survive, just come with us. I guarantee that your lives will not be in danger!"
At this time.
A Japanese expert raised his hand and asked: "Excuse me, what is your identity and which army you belong to? Since you are a prisoner, at least let us know whose prisoner you are."
This Japanese was quite conscious and knew that he was going to be a prisoner this time.
"Eighth Route Army." Huo Guang said concisely and comprehensively.
"Eighth Route Army?" The expert looked at Huo Guang in surprise, with a bit of disbelief in his eyes.
"Where's all this nonsense? If you want to leave, come with us. If you miss, just stay here!" Huo Guang said unceremoniously.
"Hai!" The Japanese expert nodded repeatedly.
Huo Guang said again: "Check them and keep all those with doubts!"
As soon as these words came out, the other soldiers suddenly understood.
Huo Guang also did this to prevent some Japanese soldiers or personnel with military training from being mixed inside.
In order to survive, these arsenal workers are naturally unwilling to stay here.
Now gunshots rang out one after another outside the arsenal, and the gunshots became more intense.
After some investigation, it was found that there was nothing wrong with these workers.
Huo Guang directly sent a dozen soldiers to escort these workers out, while he led his troops to continue fighting.
…
Ding Wei is observing the situation in the arsenal at the moment.
"Captain, we are back!"
Hearing someone talking behind him, Ding Wei turned around and looked.
I saw a soldier leading a group of people returning from the back mountain.
"What's going on? Who are they?" Ding Wei asked.
"Report to the leader, they are workers in the factory, and they seem to have some weapons experts." A soldier replied.
"When we entered, these people were locked up in the warehouse. Staff Officer Huo felt that these people were useful, so fortunately he brought them all back."
Ding Wei finally understood that these people were factory workers.
With the devil's urinary nature, the little devil must have wanted to kill all these people when things got out of control, so as to prevent these people from falling into his hands.
The little devil was a chicken thief, but these people eventually fell into Huo Guang's hands.
Ding Wei couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, Huo Guang was getting smarter and smarter.
He actually knew how to keep these people around.
When you get the equipment in the arsenal, you will definitely need operators. It will definitely be difficult to operate these machines with just the staff of your own arsenal.
If there are staff who are skilled in operating the machines, their future production work will be smoother and a lot of unnecessary time will be saved.
Veteran workers and mechanical experts are rare talents that are hard to come by.
Just for this matter alone, I can take credit for Huo Guang.
I heard there are some experts inside. With them here, the value of these people has been compared to the value of the factory.
"Quick, keep an eye on this and take them all away when you go back!" Ding Wei said excitedly.
"There are so many sacks on the ball!" At this time, the expert who had talked with Huo Guang before suddenly stood up and said.
"Sir, I have something to say..."
Upon hearing this incomprehensible Chinese, Ding Wei waved his hands impatiently and said: "You can speak Japanese, I can understand you."
At this time, it was the expert's turn to be stupid.
What kind of army is this? Why do I feel like many people can speak Japanese and speak it so fluently?
The expert quickly reacted: "I wonder what this commander wants to do with us?"
"Don't worry, as long as you are willing to cooperate, I will not kill you and will protect your lives." Ding Wei knew this guy's concerns and said directly.
"How can we cooperate?" Japanese experts asked.
Ding Wei smiled and said: "Of course you will cooperate with all our work. As for what the work is, you will naturally not understand it in the future!"
Then, Ding Wei changed the topic: "If you are unwilling to cooperate, I will execute you immediately and let you leave in a very dignified manner in a samurai manner."
"Sir, don't worry, we will do our best to cooperate as you say, as long as you can ensure our safety!" the Japanese expert said again.
…
The plan to break into the arsenal from underground went very smoothly, and all the units of the 28th Regiment managed to break in with almost no effort.
When they saw numerous Eighth Route Army troops suddenly appearing in front of them, everyone was stunned.
The Japanese soldiers who were defending inside the factory had no idea that under such a fierce barrage of firepower, these Eighth Route Army troops could come inside the arsenal.
The entire arsenal is actually located in a large courtyard. The arsenal presents a character, a straight-line building.
One word belongs to buildings such as warehouses and rest rooms.
The font-shaped building is the real factory.
Because they invaded from underground, the Japanese really didn't expect this.
After all, they were resisting the attack of the 28th Regiment internally, but the enemy they were resisting actually appeared directly from within.
Anyone who sees this scene will be stunned for a long time.
By the time they reacted, the Japanese troops had already lost the opportunity, and the first wave of attacking soldiers came with full firepower.
They quickly eliminated the Japanese soldiers inside the factory and occupied a separate factory and the straight building.
He sat down directly on the ammunition box behind him, covering his chest, and could not recover for a long time.
"Your Majesty Lieutenant Colonel!"
Seeing this, the Japanese second lieutenant hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel, how are you?"
"It's okay, I'm okay..." Mizuno Asahi waved his hand and said, "Where's the telegram? There's a telegram asking for help!"
"Your Majesty Lieutenant Colonel, the message has been sent, please rest assured!" said the Japanese second lieutenant.
Hearing this, Mizuno Asahi breathed a sigh of relief. If the general knew about this, he would definitely send troops to support him immediately.
Asahi Mizuno would not do it unless it was unnecessary to blow up the arsenal and die with the enemies here.
Taiyuan, First Army Headquarters.
Okamura Neji looked at the telegram in his hand, and the flesh on his face was trembling. He was obviously very angry.
The front leg just said that there is no problem in the arsenal and everything is safe.
But not long after that, the factory was directly attacked by the enemy, and it was about to fall into the hands of the enemy.
With strong fortifications and ample ammunition.
Okamura Neji didn't understand at all why things were like this.
"Send troops to support immediately. No matter who it is, no matter which army it is, they must support the factory immediately!" Neji Okamura almost shouted these words.
"Let all the troops participating in the battle nearby find a way to withdraw from the battle in the shortest possible time!"
"Hai!"
The Japanese lieutenant colonel at the table stood up to accept the order and left the place quickly.
Just by looking at Okamura Neji's expression, Lieutenant Colonel knew how angry he was now, so naturally he didn't dare to waste any more time.
However, fighting is easy, but if you want to run away, you won't get what the Japanese want.
After Okamura Neiji issued the order, all the ministries immediately wanted to carry out the order, but the troops blocking them had already noticed something unusual about them.
From the beginning to now, the Japanese have been trying to break away from the battle. Although they can't figure out why, there must be some conspiracy.
Otherwise, the fight was fierce one second, and then the attitude suddenly changed the next second?
It can be said that the Japanese troops are struggling. Even if they withdraw from the battle, they will soon enter another battle.
No matter where they went, they would encounter an Eighth Route Army unit.
Even though the Japanese troops were furious, they had no choice but to fight and find ways to withdraw from the battle.
The battle in the arsenal has also begun to come to an end.
The factory where Mizuno Asahi was working was like a factory, and the soldiers traveling underground finally found the pipes entering this place.
At this moment.
Mizuno Asahi finally understood how the Eighth Route Army invaded the factory.
pipeline.
It’s actually a pipeline!
Mizuno Asahi felt a suffocation in his heart. He never thought that there was a problem with the sewage pipe.
Dirty underground pipes can actually become attack routes.
Mizuno Asahi was extremely surprised. He only thought that the tactics of the imperial army were novel enough, but he did not expect that the Tuba Road commander on the opposite side was even more powerful.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it at all.
now.
All the Japanese soldiers gathered in this factory and passively defended it, just like an isolated island.
His second lieutenant was hit by a stray bullet while he was looking out the window and died on the spot.
Seeing this scene, Mizuno Asahi didn't dare to go near the window at all, and hid in the center of the house.
At this time, even if Mizuno Asahi wanted to blow up the factory, it would be difficult.
Because he didn't expect that he would end up blowing up the arsenal, he didn't make any preparations.
To put it bluntly, Mizuno Asahi believed that even if they really came to the point of blowing up the factory, they would not even have time to prepare.
A font-shaped arsenal.
Two are already fully occupied.
It is only a matter of time before the factory where Mizuno Asahi is located is captured. The attacking troops have already entered the factory and are fighting the Japanese inside.
