Chapter 32: Brewing

The words of the boss of the sauce garden, Zhao Dashan and the others were a little inexplicable, but after Wang Chenghai saw the map, he swore that he knew the place on the map. The place that Wang Chenghai said was also outside the city, and Zhao Dashan, who was half-convinced, planned to go and take a look to see what the owner of the sauce garden meant, anyway, it was a stop. Zhao Dashan wanted to figure out what this picture meant, but he didn't expect that there was really a big surprise waiting for him, seeing his subordinates digging out weapons and ammunition from the pit, Zhao Dashan couldn't even finish speaking.

According to the guidance of the map and Wang Chenghai's help, Zhao Dashan and others dug a total of two pits under the big tree pointed to on the map, and a large number of weapons and ammunition came out of the pits, roughly calculated, this batch of weapons and ammunition is enough for them to arm a team of 300 people. "Only take what we can take, and bury the rest back again, don't be greedy, we'll all move back these things sooner or later."

Looking at the scene of his team members hanging weapons and ammunition on their bodies, Zhao Dashan scolded him in a rough voice. "Look, look at the few of you, there's still a little bit of it gone? It's all shallow-eyed stuff, with so many weapons and bullets on their backs, and they're still marching for a while, this is Zhengding, and it's still far from our place. Zhao Dashan reprimanded the guerrillas under his command, but he picked up a light machine gun and carried it on his shoulder.

Zhao Dashan's behavior of setting fire to the state officials but not allowing the people to light the lamps immediately attracted the laughter of Liuzi and others, but Zhao Dashan explained seriously. "I can be like a few of you, see what I'm carrying? Light machine gun! This is a light machine gun, and a dozen are a large slice of light machine guns. After a long period of frolicking, Zhao Dashan and the others were able to re-bury the remaining weapons and ammunition, and then a group of people gradually disappeared into the mountains and forests under the leadership of Wang Chenghai.

Under a big tree thousands of kilometers away from Zhao Dashan, Lu Yuan, who was wearing a camouflage net, squatted behind a bush, and through the scope of the heavy sniper rifle in front of him, Lu Yuan could see Zhao Dashan's every move clearly. Seeing that Zhao Dashan and the others successfully found the batch of weapons and ammunition that they had buried in advance, and seeing that Zhao Dashan and the others only left with some weapons and ammunition, Lu Yuan was relieved.

The guerrillas left, Lu Yuan's injuries were almost healed, and according to the plan, Lu Yuan planned to conduct a new round of reconnaissance of the Japanese army material transfer station in Zhengding. It's just three things, this is also an old saying, but this old saying is not easy to do here in Lu Yuan, and no one can stop what Lu Yuan has decided to do. According to the pre-planned route, after seeing Zhao Dashan and the others leave, Lu Yuan got up and moved in the direction of the Japanese army's material transportation station.

Perhaps because of Lu Yuan's previous two attacks, the Zhengding Japanese army was terrified, they not only strengthened the defense of the material transfer station, but also recruited a large number of people, not only cut down a large area of trees around the material transfer station, but also deliberately dug a blockade ditch, and built more bunkers along the blockade ditch. Lu Yuan, who saw these in the telescope, couldn't help but smack his lips secretly, this is no longer a material point, but a fortress stronghold that can be attacked and defended.

Lu Yuan lurked outside the material station for a long time, waiting for the sky to get dark, and Lu Yuan, who was lying around the bushes, slowly retreated. After nightfall, the Japanese army strengthened its perimeter patrols, and in just two hours, Lu Yuan saw at least eight patrols passing by his sight. The Japanese army's strict precautions were naturally to defend themselves, and Lu Yuan knew this.

For three whole days, Lu Yuan continued to observe the material station, and the closest time, Lu Yuan even lurked less than 100 meters away from the Japanese fortress. It's a pity that in these three days, Lu Yuan didn't find the slightest possibility of infiltrating the material station. If you can't sneak into a close attack, then you can only attack from a distance, and Lu Yuan, who couldn't find a chance, immediately left Zhengding and returned the same way according to the route he had taken that day.

In Lu Yuan's opinion, as long as he has a mortar with a caliber of more than 100 mm, he does not have to worry about falling into the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army in Zhengding again. Where do mortars come from? Naturally, it was snatched from the Japanese army, so Lu Yuan left Zhengding and returned to the Zhengtai Line according to the original route. After waiting for a day on the route of Te, Lu Yuan finally waited for a military train from Baoding to Zhengding, and after a series of explosions, the unsuspecting Japanese military column overturned from the railroad tracks and descended the roadbed.

Lu Yuan was already a veteran of bombing trains, and seeing the military train overturn and fall under the roadbed, Lu Yuan picked it out of the hole in the ground where he was hiding and strode onto the roadbed. Lu Yuan didn't know what was being pulled on this train in advance, and after he cleanly killed the more than 20 Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive, he pried open the carriages one by one. The large-caliber mortar that Lu Yuan was looking forward to was not found, but he found a Type 92 infantry gun, in addition to a large number of infantry artillery shells.

The Type 92 infantry gun equipped by the Japanese army is an infantry support weapon and is suitable for use in complex terrain. * The infantry cannon is not large and can be easily concealed during battle, its full height is only 62 cm, and if the shield is removed, the full height will drop to about 50 cm. * Infantry guns are not only small in size, but also not very good in weight, with a total weight of only 0.212 tons, and can be towed forward without vehicles by untrained animal or manpower.

* The firing range of the infantry gun is very wide, with a horizontal firing range of 90 degrees and a high and low firing angle of nearly 90 degrees. Because the infantry gun is small in size and light in weight, coupled with the low center of gravity, it can withstand a relatively large range of adjustment of the angle of fire. Flexible application of firing angle: flat fire can be used as a cannon, enough to deal with civil fortifications and general masonry fortifications, although the muzzle velocity of the shell is low, but the power of unprotected vehicles and armored vehicles is sufficient. The curved fire can be used as a gun, and it can be used as a mortar when firing at a large elevation angle, because the infantry gun is a gun origin, and 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).

No mortars were found, and a Type 92 infantry gun was naturally the same, not to mention that the firing range and power of the Type 92 infantry gun far exceeded that of mortars of the same caliber. When the Japanese army in Baoding heard the news and rushed to the railway, the entire train that overturned the roadbed had already been burned to the ground, and it was only left from the scene for analysis, and it was difficult for the Japanese army in Baoding to know what the attackers had taken away.

The Japanese army in Baoding pounced, but Lu Yuan, who had succeeded in the attack, had already entered Baoding City, although the Type 92 infantry gun was small and lightweight, but Lu Yuan still felt that he needed a few helpers. The enemy-occupied area is mixed, and there are a large number of mutated spies mixed in it, but Lu Yuan has a full-view map, and those plainclothes spies who pretend to be ordinary people have nothing to hide in front of him. If Lu Yuan wants to find helpers, he naturally has to look for those honest people who have been bullied by the Japanese puppet army or plainclothes spies, and only honest people who have been persecuted by the Japanese can accept Lu Yuan's invitation.

It was too simple to find a few Chinese persecuted by the Japanese in the enemy-occupied area, and Lu Yuan quickly found four people who were persecuted by the Japanese army. "I have a chance to kill devils to avenge my family, do you have the courage to join?" is this ordinary sentence, Lu Yuan soon had four more strong men around him, although none of them had the experience of going into battle, and they were not even as good as the guerrillas that Lu Yuan had encountered, but Lu Yuan did not ask them to carry guns into battle.

"What I want you to do is very simple, I have a cannon, and I'm going to use this cannon to bombard a supply station of the little devil in Zhengding. I can fire that cannon on my own, but I need to move it from time to time, so I need a few helpers. "I originally thought that I would have the opportunity to personally kill the Japanese army to avenge my family, but I heard Lu Yuan say that the invitation was just to move a cannon, and these four men who were fooled by Lu Yuan were all dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Don't underestimate this cannon, don't underestimate that the cannonball is too small, as long as the cannonball hits accurately, one shot can at least kill several little devils, and I have hundreds of shells." "There is no turning back from the bow, since he has already told these four people his plan, he will not easily let these four people out of his sight. Seeing that the four of them were still hesitating, Lu Yuan's face sank, and the right hand behind him flipped over, and there was already an extra pistol in his hand.

I don't know if it was because Lu Yuan's expression was wrong, or for some other reason, the eldest of the four immediately agreed, and the other three saw that someone had already expressed their position, so they all nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Lu Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his muzzle would definitely not be pointed at the Chinese until he had no choice. Lu Yuan left Baoding with four people lightly, and after walking out of Zhengtaixian, Lu Yuan took them into the mountains.

Considering that these four people had never seen a Type 92 infantry gun, after rushing to the periphery of Zhengding, Lu Yuan set aside three days to let these four people run around the mountains with the Type 92 infantry gun, so as to train their coordination. What Lu Yuan didn't expect was that it took these four people less than two days to not only cooperate tacitly, but also learn the steps of loading shells. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't read, maybe these four guys would have learned from Lu Yuan how to shoot the shells accurately.
