You were tasked with guarding the Sihang Warehouse, and you brought out a Tiger tank?

This Zhaoyuan gold mine is a real treasure trove.

In 36, Zhaoyuan Linglong Gold Mine Co., Ltd. was established. The Japanese Zhaoyuan Mining Co., Ltd. invested 65 silver dollars, and Daxia invested 75 silver dollars to build a mechanized ore dressing plant with a capacity of 150 tons/day, including rock drills for mining, gasoline locomotives for transportation, jaw crushers and cone crushers for ore dressing.

They also built an attached smelter and power plant.

As a result, the factory was completed in August, but when Lao Han withdrew in December and abandoned Shandong Province, it was all destroyed, and the precious machinery and equipment were almost completely lost.

Fortunately, the Linglong gold mining area is quite large, covering an area of ​​more than 70 square kilometers. Even without mechanized equipment, it is not a problem to produce tens of thousands of taels of gold a year, plus a small amount of associated silver ore, by relying solely on manual labor.

After the Japanese occupied this area, they carried out extremely brutal and predatory mining.

They imprisoned the captured Xia prisoners of war and local people in the mining area, forcing them to do heavy physical labor for sixteen hours a day in the dark mines.

They ate moldy sorghum flour, and if someone got sick, they were simply thrown into a mass grave.

After the New 16th Division captured the gold mine, they executed all the arrogant Japanese overseers and traitorous mine police, and released more than 3,000 miners and prisoners of war who had been imprisoned.

Upon learning the news, Lin Feng immediately ordered the Linglong Gold Mine to be brought under the direct control of the 33rd Army Corps.

Those miners who were willing to stay were given full wages to improve their food and accommodation conditions.

With this gold mine providing a continuous supply of gold, Lin Feng's future military expenses and system exchange points will be guaranteed in the long term.

As for the traitorous and puppet troops that originally existed in other major cities and counties of the Jiaodong Peninsula.

Upon learning that Lin Feng's 33rd Army Corps had attacked and even sunk the Japanese fleet, they discovered that Lin Feng's 33rd Army Corps had attacked and that the Japanese fleet had been sunk.

The puppet troops were terrified and simply scattered.

They threw down their weapons, took off their puppet army uniforms, and ran away!

Some of the remaining small groups of Japanese garrison troops were directly tied up by the underground party and the defected police, and imprisoned in jail waiting for Lin Feng to send people to take them over.

Some, seeing the situation was not good, simply seized the local people's fishing boats and fled by sea overnight.

In just over a week.

After the Japanese invaders occupied the Jiaodong Peninsula, the system of rule they had painstakingly built in major cities and counties was completely destroyed.

As for the vast rural areas, Lin Feng didn't have the energy to deal with them for the time being, so he had to put them aside for now.

Now, the most valuable areas of the entire Jiaodong Peninsula are firmly in our hands.

It's time to refocus our attention on the military.

Lin Feng's gaze swept over Qingcheng Port and Weihaiwei, which had already been marked with small flags on the map.

His gaze was fixed on the area in the south of the map, towards Linyi.

Seishiro Itagaki's Fifth Division was still barely clinging to life there.

Old Tang had tried to take credit earlier, but he was beaten bloody by Itagaki's last-ditch counterattack and had to retreat with his tail between his legs.

But now, he has enough resources and confidence to wipe out this elite Japanese force in one fell swoop.

It's time to invite Seishiro Itagaki's Fifth Division to eat some knife-cut noodles!

"Someone, bring Zhao Dashan to me."

A moment later, Zhao Dashan rushed in:

"Your Excellency, you wanted to see me?"

"Dashan, how's your rest going, First Honorary Brigade?"

Lin Feng got straight to the point.

"We've been rested and ready for battle. All the brothers are itching for action and just waiting for your command," Zhao Dashan said, patting his chest, his eyes filled with a thirst for glory.

"Okay, that's what I think too."

Lin Feng picked up his baton and pointed to the Tangtou Town area on the outskirts of Linyi on the sand table.

There was a Japanese flag representing the Fifth Division of the Japanese army flying there.

"I'll assign you the newly formed 1st Guerrilla Division and the 1st Artillery Division."

Lin Feng tapped the map:

"Take these divisions and prepare to head south immediately. Give me a grand and spectacular send that old devil Itagaki to his doom."

Then, didn't the Japanese withdraw their forces and build a large number of ring-shaped defensive fortifications and underground bunkers in the field?

I'll give you another big treasure.

Zhao Dashan was stunned for a moment:

"A precious treasure? Your Excellency, what precious treasure?"

Lin Feng sneered and threw his baton on the table:

"Doesn't Itagaki like to be a coward?"

I want to see if their 5th Division's skull is harder, or if my 280mm railway gun is more effective!

"A train cannon?" Zhao Dashan's eyes widened.

Lin Feng did not explain.

He had already thought it through.

The K5(E) 280mm "Leopold" railway gun that the system rewarded me with before has been lying in the system space collecting dust.

Now, it's time to reveal this true god of war.

This thing is a masterpiece of Hans during World War II. It weighs more than 200 tons, and each shell weighs 250 kilograms.

One shot, and not only field fortifications, but even permanent fortresses made of reinforced concrete can be blasted into dust.

However, while railway guns were powerful, they were extremely cumbersome to use.

It has no tracks or wheels and can only move on standard rails.

Moreover, because the barrel is too long and heavy, it cannot perform large-angle horizontal rotation for aiming.

A special curved rail must be laid in advance at the launch site.

The horizontal angle of fire was adjusted by moving the railway gun back and forth on the curved rails.

"Prepare the car, let's go to Sifang Locomotive Factory."

Lin Feng grabbed his military cap, put it on his head, and strode outside.

After half an hour.

Lin Feng parked his car outside the gate of the famous Sifang Locomotive Factory in Qingcheng Port.

This large railway factory, which was originally built during the Han colonial period, is the largest locomotive and rolling stock manufacturing and maintenance base in the entire North China region.

Fortunately, the Japanese were almost completely wiped out before they could destroy the core equipment here.

Inside the factory area, tall red brick factory buildings stand side by side, with railway tracks and gantry cranes everywhere, and many carriages parked on the crisscrossing tracks.

Lin Feng led the guards into the largest repair workshop.

Inside the workshop, hundreds of Daxia workers, dressed in oil-stained overalls, were busy at work.

Upon seeing Lin Feng enter, the workers all stopped what they were doing and curiously looked at the young general who had recaptured Qingcheng Port.

"Who is in charge here?" Lin Feng asked loudly.

An elderly worker in his fifties, with calloused hands, hurried over, wiped his hands on his clothes, and said hastily:

"Reporting to the sir, I am the foreman here, my surname is Chen."

The Japanese factory manager and engineers have all run away; now only we Daxia workers are left in the factory.

"Master Chen, don't be nervous."

Lin Feng stepped forward, offered a cigarette to Foreman Chen, and lit one for himself as well.

"I'm here today to ask for your help."

Does the factory currently have any high-horsepower steam locomotives that can be operated?

Foreman Chen accepted the cigarettes, flattered and nodding repeatedly.

Yes! Yes!

The Japanese had transferred two Emperor-type heavy steam locomotives from the South Manchuria Railway Company in Northeast China. They were parked in the locomotive depot and had not yet been moved.

That guy's incredibly strong. With a full tank of water and coal, he can haul a load of over a thousand tons at fifty or sixty miles per hour like it's nothing.

"very good."

Lin Feng exhaled a smoke ring and continued to ask:

"I also need a group of skilled railway workers."

I need to temporarily lay a circular railway track about two hundred meters long at the front line.

The foundation must be extremely solid, capable of withstanding a pressure of over two hundred tons without deformation.

"Can you do it?"

Foreman Chen was stunned for a moment. Laying a circular railway track? And it has to withstand the weight of two hundred tons?

That's quite a high bar.

But looking at Lin Feng's crisp military uniform, he gritted his teeth and said loudly:

"General Lin, you drove away the Japanese devils and avenged us ordinary people."

Let alone laying a section of railway track, even if we were asked to go to war, the men of our Sifang Factory would not hesitate!

"Don't worry, as long as there are enough materials, I'll bring the factory's two hundred best skilled workers to ensure you get a perfectly smooth surface, with no error even a millimeter."

"Great! That felt good!"

Lin Feng patted Foreman Chen on the shoulder and burst into laughter:

"Wages will be paid at double the rate."

Prepare locomotives and track-laying equipment immediately.

Let's set off tonight!
