Chapter 166 Escorting the Mountain Cannon
The heavy snow came and went quickly. I thought it was going to freeze soon, but the sun was shining brightly. I was so anxious that Master Wang stared at the north every day to watch the sky, thinking that it would be better if I could come back to snow.
Without snow, the training trainer taught by Wang Da was snatched away by Zhao Hu. He could only stare at the alcohol factory, pig farm, duck farm and other places every day. At worst, he could control the army's firewood, rice, oil and salt. Fortunately, he could still salvage a large amount of fish from the lake. In addition to making smoked fish, he could also cook a lot of fish oil. The fish oil was also oil. At least the soldiers did not lack meat apes in the bowls. After chewing enough sorghum steamed buns, the local soldiers who had refused to eat fish had to pinch their noses and eat fish. According to Zhao Hu, this is commonplace. If there are meat dishes, they still hate goosebies, and they can't eat them in the general army.
In addition to conducting long-distance running with weights every day, the recruits were driven into the lake by Zhao Hu when they were warmer at noon. In addition to fishing and shrimps, they also had to practice water skills. Zhao Hu meant that in the future, the engineering camp would not only become tigers on the mountain, but also white strips in the lake. Without decent underwater skills, they would go to the second line to feed pigs.
The entire engineering battalion has regarded feeding pigs as the most shameless thing. Every competition, shooting, running, digging trenches and other last company has been voluntarily working for a week in the pig farm, making it difficult for everyone to practice. Fortunately, there are a lot of fish to supplement nutrition, otherwise people will be slaughtered.
Just because of this, the teaching Wang Da once again found Zhao Hu and started the difficult negotiations.
"Battery Commander, Battalion Commander Zhao, isn't it snowing again this day? Can you let the soldiers take a break? You have occupied several classes of my culture class. Besides, haven't you been using weapons before and never been a housekeeper?"
"You have to have decent materials and equipment to get weapons. Haven't you seen that I've made more than 30 guns? I've used up all the raw materials and no more weapons to make. And now it's snowing again. I want to make it until the beginning of spring. By the way, if you don't go to reconnaissance the enemy situation, why are you here to do? Do you want to train troops again? Let me tell you, your method is not easy to work, and everyone who practices is sissy. Look at me, I've trained them like little tigers in the spring, and you can fight after it's time to start!"
"Don't mention reconnaissance to me. The Japanese have stationed a corps in Lingshoutang County and other places. You don't know that they are just waiting for us to attack. Also, do you call it a rifle? The machine gun is almost the same. There are about thirty guns, all of which are enough to consume a single company of bullets. Our Eighth Route Army is not that rich, and there is not enough bullets for you to defeat!"
"Okay, Wang Dalabo, am I a loser? Which army weapon was not something I went out to grab, I even robbed four mountain cannons."
Teaching Wang became even more angry when he heard this: "You won't make any contribution if you rob it. In the battle of Pingshan, the newspapers said that it was from the 719th Regiment, so we didn't get any benefits!"
"Then, that's because the superiors are protecting us, otherwise I wouldn't have let me stay here and feed pigs all day long!"
Teaching Wang was about to tell the pain of feeding pigs, when a hearty laugh suddenly sounded outside the door: "Look, I just said that Captain Xiao Zhao is very enlightened. You don't believe it yet. You are competing for me at all."
The two of them turned around at the same time, and saw Minister Cha and Battalion Commander Gan entering at the same time. They quickly saluted: "Hello Minister Cha, Battalion Commander Gan!"
After the two returned the gift, Minister Cha laughed and said, "Commander Xiao Zhao said it right just now. The Japanese have already become suspicious of losing Pingshan twice. If the 719th Regiment was not shocked there, the troops might have been over. In order to protect the arsenal and the engineering company, we have to conceal the truth. I hope you two will not take it to your heart."
The two of them shook their heads repeatedly, not caring about the credit, because they were mainly because they were a little breathless when they were sleeping in the lake all day long.
Minister Cha suddenly shouted loudly: "Order!"
The two stood at attention and heard Minister Cha say: "Zhao Hu, the acting battalion commander of the Engineering Battalion, leads the reconnaissance team and follows me for secret missions. No one is allowed to ask whereabouts!"
"yes!"
Seeing Wang Shubing's expression squinted behind him, Zhao Hu wanted to go up and fight him alone, but unfortunately, Minister Cha looked at him and no one dared to act rashly.
This time, Zhao Hu only brought twenty special forces members and followed Minister Cha and Battalion Commander Gan towards the arsenal. In the team, except for Gouzi carrying a radio station, each of the others also carried a pair of snowboards behind him.
Captain Gan asked, "Xiao Zhao, what's the use of carrying two wooden boards behind you?"
Zhao Hu said: "It's snowing heavily. After we climb to the top of the mountain, if we encounter a situation, we can slide to the foot of the mountain with a slither, which is much faster than running."
Minister Cha smiled and pointed at him, then said, "I see that the rifle behind you has changed into new tricks. Have you made some new guns?"
Zhao Hu was afraid of being scolded as a prodigal son, so he had to say vaguely: "It's just an experimental product, it has not been finalized yet. After a while, the performance will be tested before reporting."
Minister Cha looked at it, that is, the Puneng rifle, and he didn't take his heart anymore. He led the way and led everyone along the mountain road.
This gun is actually a 6.5mm semi-automatic rifle made by Xiaohu with all his strength. Zhao Hu picked out the best match from it, made various molds according to the size, and then asked Xiaohu to rush out the qualified products one by one. He asked two blacksmiths to knock out the shape of the blacksmith every day, and then slowly filed it. However, he was not so patient. He changed into the qualified products as he filed, which shocked the two blacksmiths to shout that their hands were too fast.
After the new gun was installed, the special forces team asked the special forces to try it secretly. These guys only fired a magazine, but they held it and didn't let go. They screamed. This was tailor-made for the special forces team. Zhao Hu had to have two sets of air conduits and spark plugs for each gun. There was no chromium molybdenum alloy, and the current barrel life was a bit low, so they had to use it first. It was also because the engineer battalion had Zhao Hu, which was the big shot of other troops.
There was nothing to say along the way. Before we could reach the arsenal, soldiers came to pick him up. It turned out that the four mountain cannons and more than 170 shells had been secretly transported to the foot of the mountain in advance. Battalion Commander Gan gave a careful advice before leaving with the guards. Zhao Hu looked at the four cannons that were broken up and wrapped tightly, and shook his head and said, "Aren't there just four cannons? It's worth such a fuss?"
Minister Cha followed the army and said, "This is a mountain cannon, why isn't it worth making a fuss? The Japanese small brick and stone structure bunkers, use this cannon to go up one by one! Also, the Japanese Fourth Brigade wrote a letter to our headquarters, saying that they don't want Pingshancheng, as long as we return the cannon to them. Do you think this cannon is worth it?"
"What? I can really say that the county town is in our hands now. Besides, this is not their territory, so why do you want to exchange it with us without saying anything?"
Minister Cha laughed and said, "Don't be good at getting cheap and being good at it. The Japanese don't know what hatred you like. Pingshan City has spread all over, saying that you scared a puppet army to death with just your face. Now all puppet army trembles when they hear your name!"
Zhao Hu reached out and touched his face, a little innocent: "I'm not eighteen years old, and I have to ask for a wife. Why do you tell me that it's like a second wolf god? It will be difficult to pretend to be a Japanese again in the future, alas!"
Everyone laughed out loud, facing the light north wind, walking along the rugged mountain road, stepping on the snow, and winding towards the north.
