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.
