Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

"put!!"

Bang bang bang!

"put!!"

Bang bang bang!

With every round of gunfire, ten traitors were executed. Li Weiguo deliberately slowed down the speed of executions to shock the captives enough and give the traitors a taste of fear and regret.

The traitors were indeed terrified, and the later they were to be executed, the more afraid they became. Every round of gunfire was like a hammer hitting their hearts. In the end, some traitors' legs were so weak that they could not stand up, and they could only be dragged over like dead dogs by the punitive soldiers and shot from behind.

The captives were indeed shocked. Seeing the people who had beaten and killed them in the past being killed like animals, they felt relieved, relieved, confused, and some even cried loudly. But no matter what, they were all grateful to the Punishment Army.

After the execution, Li Weiguo sent a company to escort the prisoners to Hutou Mountain. These people were all young and strong men who had all been persecuted by the Japanese devils and traitors. Their families were either killed or taken away by the Japanese devils and no one knew where they were. They were full of hatred for the Japanese devils and could form an army after half a year of training!

After sending the prisoners away, Li Weiguo ordered the spoils to be sorted out. The Japs really intended to run this place well. There were enough food for 1 people for three months in the warehouse, as well as a number of various canned foods such as oil, salt, and sugar.

The Engineer Regiment has quite a few weapons, mainly Type 60 carbines. Its heavy weapons and light machine guns are in the double digits. The Engineer Regiment is not a combat unit and does not have many heavy weapons, but it has a lot of technical equipment, including various construction vehicles and trucks, totaling more than vehicles, some surveying and mapping instruments, individual construction machines, and generators.

Li Weiguo felt that he had made a lot of money. These technical equipments were so useful. He could use them directly in the Dragon Infrastructure. The technical level of the Dragon Infrastructure would increase exponentially. Li Weiguo felt that he could earn more gold coins by defeating an engineering regiment than an ordinary regiment.

"Sir, come and look at this!"

A soldier ran into the command center and said there was a new discovery!

Li Weiguo followed him out of the command center and came to a huge factory building with a railway connection on the ground.

The factory door had been opened, revealing two locomotives and a huge number of carriages. The carriages had been opened, revealing some kind of machine.

"what is this?"

Li Weiguo asked.

The soldier pulled back all the tarpaulins covering the machines, exposing them.

"Sir, it looks like a well drilling machine."

Li Weiguo took a closer look and found that it really looked like a well drilling machine, with long drill bits stacked up on top of each other, filling the carriage.

Li Weiguo thought that the Japanese might use this thing to drill wells and obtain underground soil layers to confirm that there were tungsten mines here, so they planned to develop this place.

Having said that, he immediately wanted to confirm the location of the tungsten mine. He asked someone to send the Japanese technician over. This guy was caught dizzy last night and was sent to the correctional officer without knowing anything. The correctional officer loved him very much and sobered him up on the spot.

Now this four-eyed devil was escorted to Li Weiguo by two disciplinary soldiers. He was trembling all over. Last night, the prison guard fed him four meals of dragon fruit and gave him five sets of CPR. He surrendered before the powerful kick was even launched. He no longer guarded his food or bared his teeth. Now, he was sent to Li Weiguo with his head lowered and his back never straightened up.

Li Weiguo asked: "What kind of work are you doing?"

The four-eyed devil nodded and bowed and replied, "Waliwaliwa Xiaobaga, graduated from the University of Tokyo, PhD in geology, hired by the Kwantung Army to conduct mineral exploration in the Manchurian Empire."

Li Weiguo asked the two soldiers escorting the four-eyed devil with a strange look on his face: "Why do you still call yourself a little bastard?"

The two soldiers couldn't hold back their expressions and replied, "The guards like to attack the hearts of the people. In order to make the Japanese surrender from the bottom of their hearts, the first hurdle is to make them call themselves "Little Baga", which is similar to us calling ourselves "Zhi Na Ren".

Li Weiguo nodded.

"The little bastard gave in pretty quickly. It hasn't even been 10 hours since he was caught last night. The discipline must have gotten better."

The soldier replied, "The main thing is that this little bastard is a scholar. He surrendered after being fed the first set of dragon fruits. The following ones are to teach him a lesson. Don't be rebellious. For example, the three Japanese non-commissioned officers need to be tougher as soldiers. The guards are still feeding them dragon fruits."

Li Weiguo admired the interrogation skills of the guard. He looked at the timid little Baga and asked, "What are the instruments here used for? Have you really found tungsten mines nearby?"

Little Baba let out a loud cry.

"This is a drilling sampler that can go deep underground to take samples of the soil. We have been working here for more than three months and have confirmed that there is a large tungsten vein 3 meters underground. The estimated reserve is 500 tons, and it is black tungsten ore with a high tungsten content."

Li Weiguo had no idea about 10 tons. Let’s put it this way, the world’s proven tungsten ore content is only 700 million tons. 10 tons is already a lot, and it is the highest quality black tungsten ore.

Although Li Weiguo did not know what 10 tons of tungsten ore meant for the time being, the Japanese were willing to build a new railway station and send an engineering corps with heavy vehicles to develop the mine, which showed how much they valued it.

He hurriedly asked, "Where is the mine? Take me to see it!"

"Hai."

Xiao Baga led the way, and in less than 10 minutes, they arrived at an open space one mile away from Zhoujiatun, where a large number of construction vehicles were parked.

Li Weiguo noticed this place before launching the attack and sent two battalions of soldiers to control these vehicles. Now it seems that this is the mine.

Xiao Baga's next words also proved this point. He pointed to a mine and said, "We dug 500 meters diagonally downward from here and have already dug up the main vein of tungsten ore. In addition, we found that in addition to tungsten ore, there are also aluminum ore, tin ore, and lead ore as accompanying minerals."

Li Weiguo looked into the mine. The ground and surrounding areas of the mine had been hardened with concrete, and there were two parallel railroad tracks on the ground.

"Did you really find the mineral layer?"

Little Baka nodded.

"Yes, the ore layer has been dug up, the anti-collapse pillars have been built, and the ore transportation tracks have been laid. When spring comes, the Empire will send mining equipment and 5000 slave... workers here, and then do its best to develop it."

Li Weiguo glanced at Xiao Baga and snorted coldly, scaring Xiao Baga so much that he shrank to the side and dared not speak.

Li Weiguo waved his hand and asked someone to send Xiao Baga away. Then he used mind sharing to contact Li Qinwu and asked him how to deal with the mine?

After learning about the situation, Li Qinwu fell into hesitation. The heavy snow blocked the roads, and the Japanese troops were unable to maneuver quickly, and their response to the punitive army's attack was quite slow.

But winter is about to pass, and the temperature in Northeast China will warm up after April, by which time the Japanese will have recovered their combat effectiveness. The Punitive Army will not be able to occupy Zhoujiatun for a long time because the terrain is not good and the casualties will be too great if they force themselves to stand there.

Without the ability to occupy Zhoujiatun, there would be no way to operate the mine for a long time, but Li Qinwu was really unwilling to accept this, because this was a tungsten mine, and with it the road for cars would be smooth all the way.

Li Qinwu hesitated for a long time and gave the final order: "Blow up the mine!"
