Zhao Guangdou knew that he must not keep quiet for too long, otherwise, Li Yunlong would get impatient, which would be troublesome, so he hurriedly said: "Commander Li, do you know about the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain a few years ago?"
Hearing Zhao Guangdou's question, Li Yunlong nodded: "Of course, the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan was a major defeat of the national army. It is annoying enough to mention it. It really embarrasses us Chinese."
Hearing what Li Yunlong said, Zhao Guangdou's expression was not good. He tried to squeeze out a smile and said: "Li Tuan, you taught me a lesson. At that time, the 247th regiment of the Jinsui Army was also stationed there. We were stationed in a village called Hujiayu. place."
Li Yunlong heard this patiently, and said to Zhao Guangdou: "His grandma, don't be bored with crookedness, talk when you have something to say, and fart when you have something to say."
Zhao Guangdou just wanted to explain the cause and effect, but he didn't expect Li Yunlong to be annoyed by it. He hurriedly said: "Yes, Commander Li, I can talk about the most important things right away. When we were stationed, we picked up some things in the valley of Hujiayu."
As Zhao Guangdou said, he motioned to the adjutant following him, and the adjutant quickly took out something from the briefcase, which was a stone.
When he came here, he had already made all the preparations. This was the last move, and he could never release it until the critical moment. Now is the time to take it out.
Looking at the stone, Li Yunlong said: "It's his grandma's, what's the use of you giving me this thing?"
"Captain Li, look at the color of this stone, it's green." Zhao Guangdou and Li Yunlong said.
"Shouldn't you tell me that this is an emerald? I still know if his grandma's is a gem. Besides, in this chaotic time, gems are worthless. No matter how precious this thing is, isn't it Can I get another gun?"
Li Yunlong dismissed this at all, but Qin Baoshan on the side had already opened his eyes wide. Li Yunlong didn't know what it was, but Qin Baoshan knew that it was copper ore, and judging from the grade of the ore, it shouldn't be low. In other words, Hujiayu in Zhongtiao Mountain should have copper mines.
Zhao Guangdou said to Li Yunlong: "This is copper ore. We found it there. However, even if we tell it about the chaos, it will not fall into our own hands, so we will keep this secret. Now, no one knows, only a few people around me only know the specific location of this thing. Commander Li, I know that your Eighth Route Army is developing military industry and needs a lot of copper mines. This precious thing, If it is in your hands, it will definitely allow you to make more bullets."
At this time, Qin Baoshan has also realized that the Zhongtiaoshan area is indeed the location of a huge copper mine in Shanxi, but the large-scale development was in the 1950s and 1960s. In this day and age, the copper mines at Zhongtiaoshan are still unknown. Hujiayu should be where one of the copper mines is located, so it is possible that Zhao Guangdou, who was once stationed there, discovered this copper ore. What is surprising is Zhao Guangdou's sensitivity. How does he know that this thing is very important? So Qin Baoshan asked: "Commander Zhao, how do you know that this thing is made of copper ore?"
Hearing Qin Baoshan's question, Zhao Guangdou had a smile on his face: "Because I was a coppersmith before I became a soldier."
In this era, there are only a few elite commanders with professional backgrounds. There are very few people who graduated from regular military schools like Chu Yunfei. Most people climb up from the bottom step by step, and Zhao Guangdou is no exception. He was actually a coppersmith before he became a soldier, so of course he knew what copper ore looked like.
Qin Baoshan nodded: "Your judgment is good. This stone is indeed copper ore, and its taste is not bad. But it is of no use to us, because it is not the control area of ??our Eighth Route Army."
Zhongtiao Mountain used to be the control area of ??the Jinsui Army. Later, the little devil mobilized three divisions and fought a battle in the past, so he defeated the Jinsui Army and the Central Army. That territory also belonged to the little devil, and it was far away from the base of the Eighth Route Army, so even if Qin Baoshan knew that there was a copper mine in Zhongtiao Mountain, he couldn't go there to mine it. Although Zhao Guangdou is credited with telling the Eighth Route Army the news, it is of no practical significance to the Eighth Route Army. No matter how many copper mines there are, as long as the Eighth Route Army can't control it, it's still meaningless.
Hearing what Qin Baoshan said, Zhao Guangdou shook his head: "Everyone has never been in touch with Zhongtiao Mountain, so I don't know. I have been paying attention to the situation there. Now the power of the little devils is gradually weakening. The little devils stationed at Zhongtiao Mountain Number of devils?? is already very little. Now, it is mainly an infantry battalion of the Royal Association Army guarding there. As long as you make a long-distance raid, you will definitely be able to take down there. After they are captured, the copper mines there will all belong to you. The Eighth Route Army is different from our Jinsui Army. We can have logistics supplies, and you can only produce them yourself. With these copper ores, you can craft more brass to make bullets. "
The Eighth Route Army's thirst for resources is also very huge, although Qin Baoshan has discovered a lot of minerals in recent years, and even has a special copper vein. But it is still not enough, especially now that cannons have started to be made. A cannonball needs many times as much copper as a bullet. Moreover, the shell of the bullet can be made of steel shell, and only brass is used on the warhead, but the shell is not good. The whole shell is made of brass, which consumes a large amount. So if they can have one more source of copper ore, it is still very meaningful.
Hearing what Zhao Guangdou said, Li Yunlong continued to shake his head: "Even if we get Zhongtiao Mountain, it doesn't make any sense. Because there are still many little devils defending along the way."
"Captain Li, you can go to my defense zone." Zhao Guangdou said to Li Yunlong: "Although you have to go around for a while, you can avoid the little devil as long as you go to my place. And I can swear to you that I will keep the secret. In the future, the Eighth Route Army can continue to mine brass from there, so that you can produce more bullets."
Zhao Guangdou has full confidence. From mining to transportation, he has already thought of these things, and Li Yunlong will definitely not refuse. If the Eighth Route Army agreed to his plan, then the Eighth Route Army should also agree to him and go to fight Taiyuan City with him. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
