Chapter 186 Build Seven Steel Company

Zhao Hu and a group of new workers were busy in the mountains every day, using the same primitive methods to create sulfuric acid, nitric acid, etc., and also extracted a portion of gold from the pyrite brought by Konggezhuang, which solved the problem of funding in a district at once.

In addition to busy making guns every day, he also found Section Chief Li from time to time to check military intelligence. During this period, in January, the main force of the 129th Division in the south recovered Liao County. In February, the He army recovered Ren Qiu. There was another most important news, that is, in January, the Japanese army wanted to attack the southern line and the defeat of the attack on Zhongtiao Mountain, which made the troops in North China insufficient, so they had the idea of ​​returning soldiers.

Three thousand soldiers who returned from the battlefield in South China and Central China were preparing to board the ship and return to China at Dagukou, Tianjin, but received an order to go ashore to join the war. Now a group of soldiers quit. They have been swimming in the battlefield of blood and fire since joining the war. They thought they could return to the country to recuperate, but they were once again treated as cannon fodder. Under the instigation of a group of members of the Tongmeng, all of these Japanese took up weapons and began their rebellion career.

Three thousand old Japanese soldiers, but they were all red-eyed masters. They were not matched by the garrison troops in Tianjin Port. They suddenly defeated the Japanese troops who came to suppress them. Later, the Japanese army mobilized heavy troops from all over the place to encircle and suppress them. Tanks, cannons and planes came together to kill the three thousand people. However, they suffered heavy casualties. This was only the three thousand Japanese who lost their logistical support. If there were sufficient ammunition, more than three thousand Japanese involved in the siege would die.

Zhao Hu was not sorry for these three thousand Japanese devils covered with the blood of Chinese compatriots. What he regretted was that dozens of Tongmeng members were all insiders. As long as they were used well, they would continuously obtain internal information from the Japanese army. Of course, after this battle, they also became more determined to fight the anti-war determination of the Tongmenghui members who were still buried within the Japanese army. They were just a bunch of gunpowder. When they gathered to a certain level, they would trigger a violent explosion!

The weather gradually warmed up, and the Arsenal Institute made all the collected weapons into new guns. Seeing that the materials were insufficient, the gunpowder factory was on track, Zhao Hu put down his work and came to the 7th Company's headquarters. Today is the day when the special forces selected elite soldiers from the 7th Company to participate in special training. The soldiers lined up in neat formation early in the morning and accepted the challenge with full spirit!

The three old people fighting for thorns, shooting, and bombs were thrown. Among the more than 100 people in the seventh company, ten of them were barely qualified. Zhao Hu took the list from Xu Dapao and accidentally found that there were two people in Class 6. It seems that this class is doing well in training.

Zhao Hu picked up a few more names and then shouted: "Ma Baoyu, Ge Zhenglin, Hu Delin, Hu Fucai, and Song Xueyi are out of the list!"

Many soldiers of the 7th Company were immediately dissatisfied. Why were there only two people in their squad 6? Battalion Commander Zhao called out three more at once?

Before they could shout out, Zhao Hu smiled and said, "I will train these five people in Class 6 alone, and the others will practice with the special forces. You have a month to adapt to special operations. If anyone wants to withdraw during this period, you can report it at any time!"

Five people in the sixth squad suddenly smiled. This special forces are powerful soldiers in the army, especially their rifles, all of which are semi-automatic. All ten bullets are fired in one breath with bolts. The accuracy is not much worse than that of the 38th gun. Moreover, the food is good, and no one is willing to withdraw even if the training is difficult.

Seeing that the other people in the 7th Company were a little dissatisfied, Zhao Hu shouted loudly: "These five are just me who take time to train alone. A month later, if your assessment results are better than them, you can replace them. Our goal is to create a 7th Company like steel, so that the Japanese will be frightened when they hear the 7th Company! Next, every soldier in the company can fire five bullets every day, so everyone should cherish it!"

"What? Five bullets? One day, my mother, isn't it going to be fired in one month? Is this possible?"

As soon as he heard this order, the entire company started to buzz. As for the five people in the sixth squad, what should we do? We can fire five bullets every day. In a month, who is not a sharpshooter?

In fact, what they didn't know was that the soldiers who had newly joined the special forces had to knock out twenty bullets every day, while the five people who were trained by Zhao Hu alone had forty rounds a day. Of course, most of these bullets were reloaded with the shells brought back. The Japanese copper shells were well made and they could be fired twice after reloading. If you want to consume, it would be a little gunpowder and artificial.

Now that the lake is open, Zhao Hu led five soldiers directly out of the barracks and went around the lake for long-distance marching and training.

Five people pushed two wheelbarrows, except for a few bags of grain, ropes and iron pots, the others were all wooden boxes. Hu Delin asked: "Squad leader, the five of us only bring such a little dry food, how many days can we eat? And why did Captain Zhao take us out in the middle of the night? Are you afraid that someone will catch up?"

Squad Leader Ma said, "Of course, you don't know how stingy Section Chief Li is. If you know that the five of us would bring 10,000 or 20,000 rounds out, and you won't eat us?"

Hu Delin said aggrievedly: "I don't know if Section Chief Li will eat us, but we only have this little food. We will probably finish it in a week. By then, we will have to go back before the bullet is finished and we won't lose money."

Zhao Hu and Song Xueyi walked in front, reminding him from time to time what to pay attention to when marching and reconnaissance, how to track and hide the traces of his walking, and teaching him to identify plants such as wild vegetables and mushrooms that can be eaten along the way.

After dawn, everyone found a cave and moved the supplies from the wheelbarrow in. Zhao Hu said to several soldiers: "Okay, now we have found a temporary rest point, and next is the first training today."

The five people ran for the middle of the night, and were tired and sweating profusely when they moved the ammunition and food. They thought they could eat now, but who knew that Battalion Commander Zhao wanted everyone to train, and they all felt bitter.

Zhao Hu clapped his hands and said, "Everyone is cheered up and wants to eat without training. How can such a beautiful thing be? Now I listen to my orders, fully armed, climb the hill on the north side. Everyone picked up a small bundle of firewood on the hill. The last one I came back had no food to eat!"

"No way? You still want us to pick up firewood?" Deputy Hu couldn't help but say something, thinking that something was wrong, there were only five of us. If you don't go, would you let Captain Zhao go? You turned around and ran away, fearing that you would have no food to eat when you come back.

The mountain is not very high, only three or four hundred meters, and there are not many trees on the top of the mountain. After searching for a while, a few people used military shovels to cut some of them to get enough five bundles.

It was a bit difficult when going down the mountain, so I could only throw the bundle of firewood first and then climb down. However, sometimes the terrain was high and a few bundles fell apart when throwing it away. It was better for the squad leader Ma to come up with a solution to let the two of them go down first and then carry them down the mountain together.

After finally reaching the lake, he found Zhao Hu holding a long stick and hanging fish. Several people did not dare to make a sound. They walked to the side silently, found stones to stack them into a stove, washed the big pot and put them on the lake water to boil. Ge Zhenglin, who was in charge of logistics there, was about to go into the hole to get the food, but Zhao Hu stopped: "Don't take the food!"

Deputy Ge Ban was stunned. What food did you cook without food? He didn't know how to cook. Fortunately, Song Xueyi was smart and pointed at Zhao Hu. Everyone else would be interested. He took out the fishing line and hook from the butt stock, and found the wet place to dig earthworms and went down the river to fish.

Song Xueyi was afraid that they would not have enough food, so he invited Squad Leader Ma and the others to go to the forest to find mushrooms and wild vegetables. Fortunately, everyone was born in poverty and did not grow up lately. Soon, he found a small pile of wild vegetables and mushrooms.

Ge Banfu looked around but didn't find everyone carrying matches, so he had to ask Zhao Hu: "Captain Zhao, that, did you carry matches? We can't light them..."

Zhao Hu waited for a while and caught a fish weighing a pound, then put down the fishing rod, grabbed a handful of dead grass, took out a bullet and pulled out the bullet, put it into the gun, and pointed it at the handful grass with a "bang".

Seeing several people ignite the fire in a hurry, Zhao Hu said with a cold face: "In the wild, if you don't want to make gunshots and use a military shovel to hit the stones, you can still ignite gunpowder. Use your brain more in everything in the future and don't be stumped by small things."

A few big fish were put into the iron pot, and Zhao Hu picked out some poisonous ones from the mushrooms and threw them away, and then told them what to eat, what not to eat, which weeds can stop bleeding, which one can detoxify, etc., which suddenly opened everyone's eyes wide open. In the future, they would not be hungry in the wild without food. There are ingredients everywhere!

There was only a little salt in the fish soup and no other seasonings. Hu Fulin took a sip and said, "Captain Zhao, this soup is a bit fishy!"

"Hmph, do you think it's fishy?" Zhao Hu grabbed his lunch box, poured the fish soup into the pot, and pointed to the lake and said, "Go and fish for one by yourself, and then eat it raw."

"What? Eat raw?"

"Well, I'm hungry if I don't want to eat. I have to continue training below. If you can withstand it, don't eat it. Why are you laughing at?"

When Song Xueyi and his men heard this, they immediately buried their heads in the lunch box. Unexpectedly, Zhao Hu did not let them go. A cold voice floated gently: "Eat raw fish for the next meal!"
