Chapter 106: The Curtain Opens
PS: Let's watch it in ten minutes.
Because of lack of sleep, Wang Ye took a rest for two days.
Two days later, when Wang Ye rode his war horse again and stepped on the moonlight to the outside of the Huting Staff, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Donkey Day, should you be so cruel? The old Japanese devil who hadn't come to Kuroshima Morita for two days also started a wave of infrastructure outside the stronghold, cutting down all the trees and burning them all?
Within two kilometers, there is flat yellow land.
There are also small barren bales within the area from two to three kilometers.
This is embarrassing. There is no place to hide the war horses, otherwise they will hide the war horses three kilometers away?
Just a fool does this. What's the difference between this and seeking death? The Japanese cavalry will be over when they chase it.
Previously, Morita, Kuroshima, filled all the ditches within two kilometers of the stronghold and removed all the vegetation, which greatly restricted his movements. That night, he was able to escape by all means by disguise and reverse thinking. After that, he did not even dare to approach the stronghold within two thousand meters, and detonated the earth gun from a distance.
What I fear is exposure to open areas without any cover.
The cold soldier-level body can be immune to the damage of cold weapons, but it cannot be immune to bullets!
But now, Kuroshima Morita has removed all the vegetation within three kilometers, which is even more difficult.
Thinking from the perspective of others, if he were Morita Kuroshima, it would never be as simple as removing vegetation. He would definitely ambush a large number of secret whistles in the wilderness outside the stronghold.
These secret whistles don't need to do anything else, just warn them.
As soon as he was found to be within a thousand meters, he would immediately fire a gun to warn him.
At that time, the Japanese in the stronghold will hit the flares and then dispatch cavalry to chase them. It is too late to find a place to hide them, so they can only compete with the Japanese war horses on the cross-country race.
People compete with war horses in cross-country races, what isn’t it to seek abuse?
Unless you get something crazy, no one will be stupid enough to do this.
Thinking of this, Wang Ye gave up decisively and prepared to return to Yangcun.
However, just as he turned around, Wang Ye suddenly changed his mind.
I have come here, so I can’t just go there in vain, right? I have to get some benefits.
In Li Yunlong's words, when the guns and cannons sound, I have to get something for me to come back, and I can eat, drink, and use it. I don't choose, but I can't do the business that is at a loss.
The Japanese in the stronghold cannot fight, so you can still find the secret whistles outside. Maybe you can find a few? Even if you just find one, this trip will not be a loss.
At that moment, Wang Ye hid a war horse in the valley three kilometers away, and then turned back to search for the Japanese secret whistle.
It took more than five hours to search for a needle in a haystack. I couldn't tell the efficiency of finding a needle in a haystack, but I was really looking for one, so Wang Ye quietly pulled out the bayonet and leaned over quietly.
A few minutes later, the Japanese secretly whistled and his neck was wiped.
...
The night passed quickly in Yangcun.
The artillery company of the Independent Regiment was also completed yesterday.
The gun company has three mortar platoons and one ammunition platoon.
Each mortar is equipped with 10 people and is equipped with two 97 Type 81mm caliber light mortars.
The ammunition platoon was organized 15 people and equipped with 15 mules and horses. He was responsible for carrying shells for the three gun platoons. When necessary, he could also enter the mortar platoon to act as a deputy gunner.
Because artillery does not need to fight bayonets with the Japanese face to face,
Therefore, all the soldiers assigned to the artillery company were recruits.
Wang Chengzhu didn't care about this, he actually liked recruits more.
Because the veterans are so awesome and do not accept discipline, it is difficult to teach.
New recruits have a natural awe towards veterans, and they are whatever you say.
Facing the 45 new recruits divided into four rows, Wang Chengzhu felt a little proud in his heart. Damn, I am now the company commander who commands 45 people.
"I'll let it go."
Wang Chengzhu cleared his throat and shouted.
"To be a qualified artilleryman,"
"First of all, you have to learn how to measure distance. Do you know about distance measurement?"
"If you can't measure the distance, or if the distance is inaccurate, there will be deviations in the bounce point."
"If you can't hit the ball accurately, and if you can't hit the Japanese devils, you might even blow up your own people. Wouldn't that be a slut? So you must learn to measure distances when you want to be an artillery."
After saying that, Wang Chengzhu used charcoal to draw a straight line on the playground behind him, extending from the position he had just stood to the base of a white wall, and then drew two parallel vertical lines on the wall.
After drawing three lines, Wang Chengzhu said: "The two straight lines on the wall are separated by one meter, and the straight lines on the ground are ten meters long, and the error will not exceed one centimeter. If you don't believe it, just measure it."
There was a new recruit who didn't believe it, so he really used a rice ruler to measure it.
It turned out that the error was really within one centimeter.
The new recruits sitting around the ground applauded warmly.
"How is it? Are you convinced?" Wang Chengzhu smiled and said, "But, this is no big deal. As long as you are willing to practice as I said, you can basically learn it within half a month."
"If you don't say it's as accurate as me, you can still do it."
The new recruits applauded more and more enthusiastically, and they all were eager to try.
Wang Chengzhu was about to continue teaching the thumb distance measurement method, but when he saw Li Yunlong bringing Wang Ye over, he quickly ran to Li Yunlong.
"Report to the regiment commander, the artillery company is conducting distance measurement teaching, please give instructions."
Li Yunlong casually replied to the military salute, then turned around and said to Wang Ye behind him, "Xiao Wang, tell Zhuzi."
"Yes." Wang Ye agreed, then stepped forward and said to Wang Chengzhu, "Company Commander Wang, I want to borrow a mortar from your artillery company."
"No borrowing." Wang Chengzhu refused without asking the reason.
Wang Chengzhu's reaction was long as Wang Ye expected, so he also called Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong was indeed angry and cursed: "Zhuzi, what's wrong with you? Xiao Wang borrowed a cannon from you, why don't you lend it? Judging from your stingy look, it's not that you don't repay it if you borrow it."
"Who knows?" Wang Chengzhu muttered, "What if he doesn't pay it back for a year?"
"That won't be." Wang Ye said, "I will borrow half a month, and after I finish the Huting stronghold, I will pay it back."
"Then you can't borrow it." Wang Chengzhu said, "You are not an artilleryman. If you borrow the artillery, you will not be able to use it. Maybe you will return it to the Japanese. Our artillery company will suffer a huge loss."
Li Yunlong was impatient and said angrily: "Do you borrow it?"
"Don't borrow." Wang Chengzhu said with a stuttering his neck, "Just don't borrow."
"Hey, you raw melon seeds, you dare to talk back to me?" Li Yunlong became angry, "Be careful I will beat you up."
"I won't borrow it if I kill you." Wang Chengzhu said, "Unless you withdraw my company commander, no one cannon will be borrowed from our artillery company."
Li Yunlong was so angry that he didn't do anything after all.
Instead, he changed his smile and said to Wang Ye helplessly: "This kid is also a stubborn person. He is a donkey, so he should follow the second method you said."
"The second way? What?"
Wang Chengzhu was a little confused. What's going on?
Wang Ye said, "Company Commander Wang, you are unwilling to borrow cannons because you are worried about me, right?"
"Yes." Wang Chengzhu said, "First, you are afraid that you will not use it, and second, you are afraid that you will lose the cannon."
Wang Ye said again: "Then that's it, go with me, are you always relieved now?"
"Go together?" Wang Chengzhu said, "Where are you going, how can you do it? Why do I feel that something is wrong?"
"Actually, it's nothing. I just go to the Huting stronghold every night to shoot a few shots." Wang Ye said, "Add some life interest to the Japanese in the stronghold, otherwise the Japanese would be too boring."
"So this is the case? Why didn't you say it earlier?"
When Wang Chengzhu heard that there was a cannon, he nodded repeatedly.
Li Yunlong joked, "Look at this damn god, I was so excited when I heard that I could shoot a cannon. Damn, it was even more exciting than a mate bull."
Wang Chengzhu just smiled foolishly after hearing this.
This kid just has a cannon and everything goes well.
...
Another peaceful day passed and the night came.
Kuroshima Morita and Nishitakechi came to the rooftop of the artillery tower and looked into the distance.
Although the sky was already dark at this time, a bright moon hangs high in the sky, so the bare hills around the stronghold were still vaguely visible.
"Xizhujun, what day is this?"
"On the fourth day, Tujia Route Army has not hit us for three days."
"Yoxi, as long as you don't come today, you probably won't come."
"This is also the expected result. You have ordered that all the vegetation within a radius of three kilometers outside the Huting stronghold be removed, and even ditches and pits within a radius of two kilometers are filled, and there are our lurking whistles everywhere. This is all. If the Tujiao Route Army dares to come again, it would be a death sentence."
"However, let the 1st Cavalry Squadron be ready for attack."
"Don't worry, the cavalry 1st Squadron has been on standby."
"Yo Xi." Kuroshima Morita nodded happily and said, "The moonlight tonight is so beautiful."
It is rare that Morita Kuroshima is interested in appreciating the moonlight tonight. When Xizhuyi was about to recite a few poems about watching the moon, he seemed to see a faint red light flashing in the distance from the corner of his eyes.
Kuroshima Morita also saw it, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Xizhujun, did you see it just now?"
Just as Xi Zhuyi was about to answer, a sharp roar suddenly sounded above his head, and the sound of shells flying through the sky was suddenly heard, and some shells were flying towards the artillery tower where they were!
"Cast shells, wing captain, be careful!"
Xizhu jumped forward and rushed forward, but it was empty.
Because Kuroshima Morita's reaction was faster than him, he fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a short scream almost passed over their heads.
The next moment, a loud bang sounded from the playground behind the artillery tower.
Immediately, the dazzling red light suddenly bloomed, extremely gorgeous.
It turns out that in the playground behind the artillery tower, more than a dozen Japanese were singing and dancing around the bonfire, and this artillery shell happened to fall in the middle of the bonfire.
This explosion also exploded the bonfire.
...
Two kilometers away, a small bare bales were on the top of the roof.
Wang Chengzhu stretched his neck and looked towards the Huting Stand.
"What happened? Why is this big noise? Shouldn't it?"
After saying that, Wang Chengzhu turned around and looked at the shell box placed at his feet.
That's right, this is an 81mm caliber mortar shell, not a 90mm caliber mortar shell, but why is the noise caused by the explosion bigger than a 105mm caliber grenade?
Seeing that the fire is soaring into the sky, the Japanese should be immortal, right?
Wang Ye, who was hiding in a pile of dust dozens of meters away, was also puzzled. What should have happened to the Japanese? Otherwise, there would be no such big fire.
At this moment, two flares rose to the sky squeaking.
With the strong light of the flares, the nearby Japanese whistle finally saw Wang Chengzhu.
The incident happened suddenly just now, and they were not prepared. It was impossible to guide the shooting world of heavy machine guns in the stronghold, but now they can see it very clearly.
The three Japanese men pulled the trigger at the same time.
Wang Chengzhu is also a veteran. He knew that the flare was not good as soon as he came to the sky. He shouted that he was carrying the equipment and ran backwards. Then three tracer bullets came over.
The next moment, four dazzling tongues of flames swept over.
Fortunately, Wang Chengzhu had already rushed to the back of the hill bag.
The splashing rain of bullets hit the front of the hill, and smoke and dust were splashed everywhere, but even Wang Chengzhu's hair was not hurt.
Wang Ye took this opportunity to lock a secret whistle of the Japanese with a muzzle. While firing a tracer bullet to guide the heavy machine guns in the stronghold, these secret whistles were also exposed to Wang Ye's muzzle.
Facing a top sniper like Wang Ye, exposure means death.
Wang Ye raised his hand and shot him, and the first Japanese whistle was shot and his head was blown out.
The second secret whistle had not even discovered Wang Ye's sniper position, and was shot and killed.
Two consecutive comrades were shot and killed. The third Japanese secret whistle finally discovered Wang Ye's sniper position, but this Japanese secret whistle had lost the courage to fight against Wang Ye.
I saw the devil whistle up,
He ran towards the Huting Staff.
Wang Ye sneered, raised his rifle again, locking the Japanese sentry from behind.
Another muffled sound, and the third Japanese whistle fell into a pool of blood.
In just over a dozen seconds, all three Japanese sentries exposed to their direction were shot and killed by Wang Ye.
However, at this time, the gate of the Huting stronghold was also opened, and the black Japanese cavalry were surging out from the gate, and the cold light reflected from the sabers could even be seen from a distance.
Seeing this scene, Wang Ye turned around and ran backwards.
When I ran to the back of the mountain, I saw Wang Zhuzhu still lying there.
Wang Ye became anxious and shouted: "Company Commander Wang, run away quickly!"
"The Japanese cavalry have already chased after him. If they don't run away, they will be numb!"
"Isn't you there? What am I afraid of?" Wang Chengzhu said he was not afraid, but his body was very honest.
After saying that, he turned around and carried more than 20 kilograms of mortars and shell boxes and ran forward.
The man from Northeast China is strong, carrying more than 20 kilograms of mortars on his shoulders, and a box of more than 10 kilograms of shells under his internal organs, and he can even run away.
The location from the ambush point to the hidden war horses is almost five hundred meters.
It took Wang Ye and Wang Chengzhu to run there in less than two minutes.
At this time, the Japanese cavalry who had chased out of the Huting stronghold had just chased to the previous ambush point.
Two more flares rose into the sky. With the strong light dropped by the flares, the Japanese cavalry saw Wang Ye and Wang Chengzhu running at a glance.
Looking at Tubalu, who had already run to five hundred meters away,
The Japanese squadron leader who led the team decided to stop chasing.
This is nighttime, and it is too dangerous to pursue at night.
Do you know if there are more Eighth Route Army members waiting for them?
...
The explosion site in the Huting stronghold has been cleared.
Two of the dozen Japanese soldiers who were singing and dancing around the bonfire were killed on the spot, three were seriously injured, and the remaining people were burned to varying degrees.
Yes, not injured by the bomb,
Instead, he was burned by flying charcoal fire.
Looking at the two bodies wrapped in a shroud, and looking at the three seriously injured people who were wrapped in mummies by military doctors, Kuroshima Morita became bad.
Are the Tujiao Route Army really endless?
I'm not satisfied with the cold guns, so I'm starting to fire cold guns, right?
Do you really think that their Black Island United is easy to bully? Will you not fight back if you get beaten?
At this moment, Kuroshima Morita was really on the verge of going wild.
As soon as Xizhu saw the danger, she advised: "Captain, be calm!"
"The Eighth Route Army wants to use this harassing tactic to anger us, and then lead us out of the stronghold, and then use favorable terrain to set up an ambush, severely damage or even eat us."
"Instructor Nishitake!" Jiro Kuroshima next to him couldn't listen and sarcastically said, "You have always taught us to be loyal, brave and fearless. It turns out that your fearlessness is such fearlessness?"
"When we hide in a strong stronghold, the Eighth Route Army will perish on its own?"
"With our patience and tolerance, will the Tujiao Route Army take the initiative to surrender?"
After pausing, Jiro Kuroshima faced Kuroshima Morita again and said angrily: "Captain of the regiment, order to attack, kill the Eighth Route Army Independence Group of the Eighth Route Army, and avenge all the broken comrades!"
"Revenge! Revenge!" Many Japanese officers roared angrily.
Nothing else, these days, Wang Ye has been plaguing endlessly,
It has successfully aroused the anger of most Japanese officers.
The Eighth Route Army is really too arrogant and we must teach them a hard lesson!
Looking at the angry officers around him, Xizhu showed an inexplicable look of worry on her face.
At this time, there was a rumbling sound of horse hooves in the direction of the gate of the stronghold. When I looked back, the 1st Cavalry Squadron, who had just attacked, had returned.
"Have you caught Tujiao?"
Jiro Kuroshima asked anxiously.
The squadron leader who led the team shook his head and said, "No."
"Damn it!" Jiro Kuroshima clenched his fists hard.
He turned his head and said to Kuroshima Morita: "Captain, please don't hesitate anymore!"
However, what disappointed Kuroshima Jiro was that the anger in Kuroshima Morita's eyes had completely faded and had returned to the previous Qingming Festival.
"no!"
Kuroshima Morita said coldly: "Don't attack!"
"Captain of the corps?!" More than a dozen officers also spoke out.
"This is an order!" Kuroshima Morita said in a deep voice, "Everyone goes back to rest!"
"The baggage squadron continues to lurk, and the second cavalry squadron takes over the 1st squadron for the night."
The dozen or so officers gathered around dispersed, but Jiro Kuroshima still refused to leave.
"What are you doing here?" Kuroshima Morita roared, "Get back to the dormitory to sleep!"
Jiro Kuroshima said with a dark face: "Captain of the United Nations, "I don't understand, what exactly is there to be afraid of?"
Chapter completed!
