Because the main force of the Japanese army was gathering forces to carry out a sweep of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong and Taihang Mountain, and there were only some devils' garrisons in Cangzhou, Jiaohexian County, these troops were limited in strength and had to defend all over the country, so they could not draw enough troops to attack the martial arts team, so the little devils were forced to swallow this bad breath.

After this battle, the martial arts team was completely able to gain a firm foothold in Gaoguantun Village, and after the battle, the martial arts team was not idle, and continued to seize the time to train the troops and dig tunnels. Through this battle, the soldiers once again realized the importance of tunnels, and under Liu Hong's guidance, the troops used their free time to continue to dig tunnels on a large scale, according to Liu Hong's plan, that is, to build Gaoguantun Village into a strong fortress.

At the same time, the armed engineering team contacted the underground organizations in various counties and contacted the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army scattered all over the country to gather in Gaoguantun Village, and integrated the troops to meet the more severe war situation in the future.

In less than a month, more than 300 members of the Eighth Route Army were gathered, all of whom were scattered in the last sweep, and had been hiding everywhere during this time. These people were able to survive the brutal sweep, most of them were veterans with rich combat experience, and they were also the people most needed by the martial arts team at present, Liu Hong added all these veterans to the martial arts team, making the strength of the martial arts team quickly increase to five hundred.

In addition, due to the successive victories and fame of the Wugong team in the vicinity, some aspiring young people and some militia from all over the country rushed to Gaoguantun Village to ask to join the Wugong team and kill the enemy to serve the country.

After some selection, Liu Hong personally selected 500 people to form a new battalion, with Wu Feng as the battalion commander, responsible for training these recruits.

In this way, the martial arts team has expanded to more than 1,000 people in a short period of time, but most of the 500 people in the recruit camp are recruits who have never been on the battlefield, and some of them don't even know how to use guns. Therefore, the troops that can participate in the war at present are only about 500 people, but under Liu Hong's personal training, the combat effectiveness of these veterans has been significantly improved, and they are well-equipped, even if they want to compare with the little devils, they are not inferior, and even better than the little devils of the same size.

It was a sunny day, and in a clearing outside the village, Liu Hong was teaching the soldiers of the artillery squad how to use the cannon. Dozens of soldiers sat in front of Liu Hong in an orderly manner, and some of them held pens and a small notebook in their hands, ready to take notes at any time.

There were two cannons next to Liu Hong, Liu Hong stretched out his hand and patted it lightly on the cannon, and said with a smile: "Everyone must know this kind of cannon!" ”

"Recognize! This is the devil's Type 92 infantry gun! The warriors he knew shouted one after another.

"Not bad! This is the devil's Type 92 infantry gun! Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction, and glanced at the two guns, which were still captured by the pine brigade in the last battle.

Liu Hong said with a smile: "This kind of cannon is a good thing!" This cannon can be said to be an ideal infantry support weapon in the current period. The weight of the 92 infantry gun is relatively light, and the total weight of the whole gun is only more than 400 catties, which can be transported by car and horse-drawn cart, and can even be transported by manpower if it is disassembled. Don't look at this guy, it's not big, and the caliber is only 70 mm, but the power is really not small at all, and the high-explosive shell fired by this gun weighs 3.8 kg. It is on the same level as the general 75 mm barreled artillery and the high explosive shell of the 80 mm mortar. This gave the Type 92 infantry gun a relatively high power (relative to caliber and weight). ”

Liu Hong paused, and then continued: "In addition, this artillery has another advantage, that is, its firing range is very open, with a horizontal firing range of 90 degrees, and a high and low firing angle of nearly 90 degrees. This is mainly due to the small size and light weight of the Type 92 infantry gun, coupled with the low center of gravity. Therefore, it can withstand a relatively large range of firing angle adjustment. Flexibly applying the angle of fire, especially the elevation angle of more than 80 degrees, the Type 92 infantry gun can shoot at almost all types of targets. ”

Liu Hong paused slightly, and then said: "Flat fire can be used as a cannon, which is enough to deal with civil fortifications and general masonry fortifications, and although the muzzle velocity of the shell is a little lower, it is still powerful enough to hit unprotected vehicles and armored vehicles, especially the little devil's thin-skinned armored vehicles and even some light tanks, which will definitely not stop this guy's bombardment; In addition, the warp shot can be used as a howitzer (it was originally a howitzer). It can be used as a mortar when firing at large elevation angles. The maximum angle of fire of many mortars is only 85 degrees, because the Type 92 infantry gun is a howitzer, the trajectory is much more stable than the mortar, so the accuracy is much better than the mortar of the same caliber level (80 ~ 82 mm), and at the same time, with the help of high firing angle, when fighting in the mountains, the Type 92 infantry gun can be conveniently deployed on the anti-slope position, so that it can not only provide timely support firepower for its own troops on the ridge line or frontal position, but also hide itself well. ”

When Liu Hong said this, he found that many soldiers couldn't help frowning, and then he suddenly remembered that most of these soldiers were from peasant backgrounds and had no formal military education, so I am afraid that they didn't even understand what an anticline position was, let alone a ridge position. Liu Hong's face showed a hint of helplessness, the road has to be walked step by step, the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, what is still not in a hurry, you have to take your time.

Liu Hong said with a smile: "Forget it, I won't say much about it, in short, this artillery is a very good artillery, and it is also the most powerful fire support weapon of our martial arts team at present." Now I'm going to teach you how to use this gun. ”

As soon as Liu Hong's words fell, a burst of cheers broke out in the crowd, and the soldiers rushed to surround him, instantly surrounding Liu Hong.

Liu Hong smiled and said, "You bunnies, just wait for this!" Don't worry, let's get started. ”

Then Liu Hong began to teach these people how to load shells and how to adjust the angle of fire...... Wait a minute. The soldiers studied very seriously, and Liu Hong asked all of them to take turns to step forward and become familiar with the use of the Type 92 infantry gun as soon as possible.

At this moment, a soldier hurriedly ran over and shouted: "Captain, the headquarters is in a hurry!" Captain Wu told you to return to the headquarters immediately. ”

Liu Hong couldn't help frowning when he heard this, thinking that there must be some new instructions from the headquarters, so he turned to those soldiers and said, "You practice by yourself first, and I'll teach you later." As he spoke, he hurried towards the headquarters with the soldier who had come to deliver the letter.

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Hong couldn't wait to ask, "Does the headquarters have any new instructions?" ”
