In March, the weather was bitterly cold.

But in just over a month in May, the weather has begun to become muggy, and only at night can the air feel a little cool.

In the sky, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

In the fields, there are frogs chirping and insects chirping.

In the half-man-tall wheat field, the wheat seedlings have begun to tassel, and compared with previous years, this year's wheat seedlings are particularly strong because of the application of chemical fertilizers, and the ears of wheat are also extraordinarily long......

If it weren't for the pillbox that looked like a huge mound from a distance, you could see the machine guns erected in the top firing holes, the puppet soldiers patrolling the barbed wire fence under the towers, and the Japanese soldiers shouting......

This scene must be a scene that the ordinary people who have been mainly farming for thousands of years will never get enough of it!

Because of all this, it is already destined for an unprecedented harvest of wheat this season!

The wheat seedlings were swaying slightly, as if some creature was coming from the wheat field, and in a few moments, seven or eight figures separated and the wheat seedlings came out of the field, and a cat's waist burrowed into a sparse grove not far away.

"Captain, you're back!"

As soon as he saw the arrivals coming back, Dou Wensong and Guo Haoyun jumped out of their hiding place, and said with a sigh of relief: "If you don't come back, I'm ready to go to you!" ”

"There is only a small detachment of devils in the watchtower, and there are only thirty puppet soldiers!"

Zhang Ran snorted and said, "Compared with our past, compared to hundreds or thousands of devils at every turn, what is this?" ”

Although this is a fact, Kang Ting, the thin monkey who followed him, still couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said in his heart every day, let this low-key let that low-key, the whole detachment, the most high-profile is you-I'm afraid that no one will know how capable you are?

Dou Wensong Guo Haoyun smiled, saying that this side is too close to the devil's watchtower, so don't say it yet, and talk about it when you go back.

"Of course I have to go back, but I've come here, so let's just go back?" Zhang Ran hummed.

"Huh?"

Dou Wensong Guo Haoyun's face suddenly turned bitter when he heard this, and he said in his heart, Captain, don't you want to try to hit the watchtower of the little devil now, right?

If you want to fight, you should have said it!

I said earlier that we could bring more people over, and at the same time arrange for the militia to cooperate, so what's the matter now?

If you have three longs and two shorts in our guerrilla unit, how can you tell us to explain to the detachment and the main force?

"I've made up my mind!"

Zhang Ran waved his hand, and at the same time comforted with a smile: "Don't worry too much, I'm not stupid enough to attack this watchtower unprepared—I'll try the grenadier we have rebuilt!" ”

Last year, before going to Lingjiang, the detachment had already built a grenadier canister, and by the time Pu Yuan brought Gu Xiangyang to the detachment during the Chinese New Year, the Zhang Ran brand grenadier made by the detachment had already built fifty or sixty pieces of equipment to various departments.

It's just that the original grenadier had a big flaw - because Xu Kunjun hadn't arrived at that time, Zhang Ran couldn't resolutely handle the rifling problem, so the range and accuracy of these dozens of grenadiers were very poor.

In the case of no choice, Zhang Ran simply and rudely asked Niu Da to lengthen the barrel of the grenadier to improve the range and accuracy.

Now that Xu Kunjun is here, the simple rifled broaching machine has also been made, and the newly manufactured grenadier canister is of course equipped with rifling.

The effect was good when the test shot was carried out in the detachment, but there was no chance to try it on the devil's body.

Zhang Ran plans to use the little devil puppet army in this watchtower to open the grenadier that he named Zhang Ran brand grenadier type two!

Seeing the three soldiers of the guard platoon excitedly take out the Type 2 grenadier canister, Dou Wensong and Guo Haoyun's faces turned green, and they said in their hearts that if we knew this, we wouldn't take the captain and you over for an adventure - even if you want to come, then you have to bring some guerrillas over!

Because obviously, before Zhang Ran and the others came over, they had already decided to take this watchtower to sacrifice this new grenadier after observing the watchtower of the little devil!

It's just that at this point, it's useless for them to regret it, so they can only turn around and whisper hello to the dozen or so guerrillas who came over, in case they really encounter any danger, they must cover Captain Zhang and Deputy Captain Kang at all costs, and they will go first!

Then, Dou Wensong and Guo Haoyun noticed that these two types of grenadiers were not only significantly shorter and lighter in appearance than the grenadiers distributed by the detachment to the guerrillas, but even the shells used were different!

The grenadier shells they used before were either melon grenades captured from the little devils, or grenades imitated by the detachment based on melon grenades as shells.

The power of the little devil's melon grenade is very limited, and the detachment's own imitation is even more unbearable - it often can't be launched or doesn't explode when it goes out, and the power is inferior to the little devil's melon grenade.

And now, the shell held by the three grenadiers is neither a melon grenade of the little devil, nor a melon grenade copied by the detachment itself, but a completely new shell - significantly larger than the cantaloupe grenade and the detachment's own imitation grenade, and it also has a tail fin!

"After the launch in the past, in addition to accuracy, we should pay more attention to how far the landing point is from the watchtower!"

After Zhang Ran finished giving instructions to the three soldiers, he explained to Guo Haoyun and Dou Wensong and his party: "The little devil's grenadier can use a grenade as a cannonball, but that's just for improvisation, like this grenade, it's a special cannonball for grenadiers!" ”

The tail of the grenade allows the shell to have a longer range, higher accuracy, and a larger charge, making it more powerful.

It's just that the cost of grenades is high, so the number is small, and it is not enough to consume at all.

The devil has obviously taken this into account, so it is designed to be compatible with grenadiers when producing melon grenades.

The little devil's scarce resources make the little devil have to use melon grenades instead of grenades as grenades shells most of the time - this also creates the illusion that many people think that the grenadiers are cannonballs with melon grenades as shells!

Before this, even Zhang Ran thought so.

That is, after Gai Heiliang came, Zhang Ran learned that the grenadier was actually a grenade as a special shell, and he had a big red face at that time - but this did not prevent him from pretending to be an expert in front of Guo Haoyun and others, and talked eloquently to popularize the knowledge of grenadiers to the two.

"Then this grenade, can it hit the watchtower of the little devil?"

Dou Wensong, Guo Haoyun and others asked, after all, within a radius of five or six hundred meters from the little devils, they were all cleared by the little devils!

Zhang Ran grinned.

Speaking of which, the maximum range of the grenadier is five or six hundred meters, but that's a theory - the 38 big cover can theoretically hit a few kilometers!

Within one hundred and fifty meters, the grenadier should be able to maintain a certain accuracy, but beyond this distance, whether it can hit the target or not depends on whether God can open his eyes......

But even if the grenadier can't hit the watchtower, Zhang Ran doesn't care.

Blow up, listen to it, the scared little devil doesn't dare to sleep all night, that's definitely enough - you can't kill the little devil, the tossing little devil is enough to choke, then this trip is not in vain!

Coming to the scene in person and seeing the design of the little devil's watchtower, Zhang Ran praised his wit very much - fortunately, there was no problem in Dou Wensong, Sun Hongzhong and the like to say that it was okay to bombard the little devil's watchtower with flying thunder!

Otherwise, you'll have to make a joke!

The watchtower of the little devil is not just a place to repair!

The location of the little devil repairs the watchtower, very particular.

Not only on the traffic arteries, but also in the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack the position, the most important thing is that the little devil will be around the watchtower within a few hundred meters of everything that can be conducive to hiding and hiding close to the watchtower all the things removed!

Just like this watchtower now, there is no shelter within a radius of five or six hundred meters around the watchtower, not to mention pushing a gasoline drum to pass such a big target, even if a few people crawl over, it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be discovered, and when the time comes, it will be a gun target!

Unless there is a regular cannon, even if it's a little devil's kind of ninety-two cannon!

As soon as he thought of the cannon, Zhang Ran thought of Gai Heiliang, the imitator of the first imitation cannon in the history of the Eighth Route Army, in the detachment, and he was extremely resentful, Gao Jin and the others had not come back after three or four months!

If they procured the right glue, they made their own grinding wheels and became the Eighth Route Army......

When the time comes, the detachment will be able to have its own artillery!

But now, Zhang Ran can only be in a hurry!

Three grenadiers and several fighters, led by the thin monkey, crawled along the wheat field again.

Because it is a new type of grenadier, Guo Haoyun and Dou Wentao have to follow the past to see the effect.

Of course, Zhang Ran also wanted to follow, but when he saw Kang Ting clenching his fists and sneering, he had an expression that you want to go over and take a look......

Zhang Ran felt that it was the same when he went up to the tree.

Climbing a small tree with a small lesson, Zhang Ran stretched his neck and looked at the ......

Several fighters, led by the thin monkey and others, crawled close to the edge of the wheat field, adjusted the firing range under the cover of half-human tall wheat seedlings, and measured the firing distance......

Two teams of puppet soldiers patrolled around the watchtower, and in the position close to the watchtower, several little devils were pulling the throat of the male duck by the fire that was lit to repel mosquitoes, and from time to time raised their hands to make a gesture of eating and drinking......

"Eating, drinking, and singing on the territory of the old men, you are very chic!"

As soon as he saw these guys, Zhang Ran couldn't help grinding his teeth, and he almost wanted to howl at the thin monkeys, let them hit the spot, and send those little devils back to their hometown with one shot!

Empty, empty!

Three sounds in the air, a violent shock in the wheat field!

The sound of emptiness is especially clear to hear at night!

Those Imperial Allied troops were alarmed by this voice, and they looked around, obviously not knowing what was happening!

However, those little devils flew in all directions at the first time, screaming all over the sky......

Boom, boom......

The explosion sounded violently!

In the smoke and firelight, shrapnel flew sideways......

Although the distance of the explosion has reached the distance of the watchtower, it is too far away!

The nearest cannonball was at least twenty meters away from the location of those devils......

A grenadier is a grenadier after all, not a cannon, and at such a distance, if God doesn't open his eyes, there won't be much to do at all......

"Damn, shelling ......"

"There are enemies, there are enemies......"

The puppet soldiers finally screamed, crying dad and shouting on the ground, and crawled in the direction of the watchtower!

And those little devils had already picked up the guns as soon as they exploded, and fired a few shots outward, and then they crawled towards the entrance of the watchtower!

Gunshots also rang out from the shooting hole in the watchtower, and the machine gun on the top of the watchtower began to spew out tongues of fire half a foot long......

All the bullets are coming in the direction of the wheat field!

The combat reaction of these little devils made Zhang Ran breathtaking!

Fortunately, the position of five or six hundred meters is also beyond the effective range of the rifle, and although the little devil judged the direction of the thin monkey and others by the sound of the cannon, he could not accurately judge the specific location at all......

"Five cannons, within five cannons, I will definitely be able to hit the watchtower of the little devil!"

Several grenadiers swore to Zhang Ran, and at the same time blamed themselves for wasting three rare grenades but not even touching a single hair of the devil puppet army.

"This is a matter of equipment, and it has nothing to do with whether you can fight accurately or not!"

Zhang Ran glanced at the three of them, thinking of the appearance of those devils and puppet soldiers crying wolves, and said happily: "Although I didn't kill a few, I also scared these eight lambs enough, I guess I don't want to fall asleep tonight - enough is enough!" ”

Everyone also thought of the embarrassed appearance of those devils and puppet soldiers, and couldn't help laughing.

As for Guo Haoyun and Dou Wensong, he looked at the second-type grenadiers on the three grenadier team members with a blank face, as well as the boxes containing grenades, as if this grenadier was much farther than the old grenadier before, and the power of the cannonball was also much greater, and he didn't stop all the way to retreat......

Although he didn't ask for it directly, the chattering of the noisy people's ears was about to become calloused, which made Zhang Ran more uncomfortable than speaking directly.

"This still needs to be improved, haven't you seen more than 500 meters off the target by more than 20 meters?" Zhang Ran couldn't bear it.

"But it's far away!"

Dou Wensong and Guo Haoyun completely ignored the problem of offset - the old grenadier is still very offset, and the farther this grenadier hits, it is already better than the previous one!

After running wildly, everyone immediately flew to the ground!

There was a group of Japanese puppet troops rushing by, obviously other watchtowers got the news and outflanked them nearby!

After the Japanese puppet army bypassed, everyone stopped talking and ran all the way!

In just a distance of more than 20 miles, Zhang Ran and his entourage dodged four or five Japanese puppet troops who heard the wind and moved, and only then did they approach the edge of the guerrillas' defense area!

As long as they cross the range of a few small villages ahead, they are safe!

But the faces of Dou Wensong, Guo Haoyun and the dozen or twenty guerrillas were obviously nervous - because in the surrounding area, the little devils had established three pillboxes, adding up to seventy or eighty Japanese soldiers and nearly two hundred puppet troops stationed there!

"Let's open the way ahead, and when there is no danger, captain, you will come again!"

The two guerrillas volunteered, and then they reached forward with their guns in their hands!

After crossing a large open area, the two partisans straightened up and barked twice to signal safety......

"Wait!"

At the moment when Zhang Ran and the others were about to get up, Kang Ting pulled Zhang Ran violently, and said with a solemn face: "The taste is wrong......

"What's wrong? Did you find something? ”

Dou Wensong and the others stretched their necks to look around, but they didn't find anything wrong at all!

But Zhang Ran believes in Kang Ting - this guy, like all veterans who have experienced many big battles but survived in the end, has a natural instinct for potential danger!

"Send them a signal, let them move quickly, don't wait for us!"

Zhang Ran roared, and his heart couldn't help jumping suddenly, hoping that the little devil would let the two guerrillas leave in order to catch the big fish!

The two guerrillas got the signal and realized that something might be wrong, and then ran forward without hesitation!

"Hurry, hurry!"

Zhang Ran and the others roared in their hearts, they had not yet revealed their whereabouts, and they could break through from elsewhere at any time!

And those two guerrillas have been exposed, in case there is an ambush of devils and puppet armies around, they are now in a race against death!

In addition to Zhang Ran and the others, in the dark, there were countless pairs of eyes, staring at the two guerrillas who were running wildly!

The earthy yellow military uniform, narrow and narrow melon skin, led by the Japanese squad leader here, Miura Lin!

At this time, all the watchtowers here have been harassed by Dou Wensong and their guerrillas, but they have never had a chance to catch the guerrillas!

Just now, at the first moment when he received the bombardment of the watchtower in front of him, Miura Lin felt that his opportunity was coming, so he immediately mobilized manpower and ambushed here!

He was almost certain that the guerrillas who attacked at night would definitely flee from this side!
