Chen Lisheng took the ox to see the two cannons, which were made in the countryside imitating the cast iron cannons of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there was no manufacturing capacity of cast iron cannon barrels, so they hollowed out the trunks of a big tree, wrapped them with iron sheets on the outside, and put iron strips on them, which was regarded as a cannon tube.

This kind of gun can only be a breech gun, that is, the front muzzle is filled with nitrate, and then some projectiles, broken iron, iron nails, stones, etc., are poured into the muzzle, and they are pierced and compacted with a whole strip.

Then ignite the fuse at the back, trigger the gunpowder in the barrel, and fire the filler, because the barrel is very fragile, it often explodes, and it feels more dangerous for the shooter than the person being shot.

Because this kind of barrel is not rifled, smoothbore, the so-called shells are still fragmented objects, fragments squeezed out by the expansion of gunpowder explosion gases, flying freely, in terms of accuracy and range, there is no way to control, can only depend on the mood of the "cannon" itself.

Even if the "cannonball" or shotgun is lucky enough to hit a person, it is difficult to kill the enemy, but if it is fired, it will kill the person next to the cannon.

Niu Gu and the others looked at these two earthen cannons, which were older than several people combined, and they were really "earthen cannons", but in this place where there was a shortage of guns and ammunition, pushing an old earthen cannon out could indeed boost the morale of the peasants.

It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, relying on these old antiques alone, it is obviously impossible to resist more than 50 puppet troops, Niu Gu and Chen Lisheng discussed, they can only make the best use of people and materials, mainly to use the advantages of the terrain to engage in this battle.

It is estimated that these puppet soldiers are also carrying out the tasks of the Japanese, otherwise, how good it is to stay in the towns, there is food and drink, who would want to go so far to come to a poor and remote place to suffer, and if they can't grab anything, they will have to go a long way.

Seeing this group of puppet soldiers walking sparsely, they took a few steps and rested for a while, obviously grinding foreign workers to cope with the tasks of the Japanese.

Originally, to deal with such a situation, everyone avoided it, and let these puppet soldiers come to the countryside for a day trip, but these puppet soldiers had to go back to make a difference.

Therefore, these two devils, as soon as they arrived at a place where there were peasant households, and they couldn't see anyone, they would go in and rob things, and even chickens and ducks would take something of little value, and they were ready to take it back and hand it over.

This makes the people very unhappy, they are already very poor, where can they afford you to rob like this, Chen Lisheng himself is under the banner of protecting his fellow villagers, if he doesn't protect it at this time, how can he gain a foothold in the hearts of his fellow villagers in the future.

If you can't stand in the hearts of the local villagers, it means that you can't stand in this place, the villagers don't support you, you go to the ghosts, no one participates, no one ventilates the news, no one supports, it's a dead end.

Therefore, this battle must be fought, even if it is an egg touching a stone, it must be touched by going up. Chen Lisheng was the boss on the face, but he knew that there was an experienced veteran officer here, so he naturally handed over all the command to Niu Gu.

Eating people is the shortest and taking people short, Niu Gu will take up this task as a matter of responsibility, besides, Niu Gu They also despise those two devils and puppet soldiers, what do not do well, do this kind of thing, not only will they be scolded by others, but even their families will be poked in the backbone.

There are many villagers, there must be more than 100 young and strong, plus other men, women and children, there must be hundreds of people, and they are also excited. The ox divided the people into several groups, each group was led by a special person, and each of them was ordered to go to the designated place.

The sparse puppet army, with chickens, ducks and geese on the barrel of the gun, and a package on their backs, looks from a distance not like an army at all, a bit like a group of porters or fleeing.

When the group of people were all walking on the road with a steep cliff on one side and a stream pond on the other, the first few people in front of them had just reached a small slope that turned around, and the earth cannon on this side of the slope made a "boom" sound.

The iron nails and small pebbles in the sky flew down with the explosion of gunpowder, and the few two devils in front of them immediately became pockmarked faces, fortunately wearing cotton jackets in winter, otherwise the whole body would have to be spent.

This was a bang, and the first few puppet soldiers in front of them cried and shouted for their mothers, and the puppet army behind them shrank into a ball, and they didn't dare to move forward for a long time, for fear that they would be broken again, and the girls who were good in the city would be disgusted.

If the front is blocked, then forget it, don't go, anyway, I have already fished a little oil and water today, and I can go back to pay the errand, so the puppet army commander gave the order to turn around and go back.

Just as the tail of the team became the leader of the team, and when he walked back, the original position of the tail of the team was on the slope, and there was a loud noise, and the earthen cannon called "pine cannon" by the locals was also powerful, and the few led by the devils were blown up with a pockmarked face.

This time, it was far more shocking than the previous cannon sound, and the puppet army instincted that they were surrounded, and the other side still had artillery, which was troublesome, and they originally wanted to get some oil and water, but now they want to throw a rotten life here.

The puppet army commander had to give a death order and rushed forward, just as the puppet army threw away the chickens, ducks, geese and rice bags, and rushed forward with guns, several large tree trunks rolled down the hillside in front of them, and there were big stones, whistling with the wind, galloping down, so scary.

Then on the steep mountain rocks on the side, a lot of stones, trees and other things were thrown, only to make the two devils cry wolf, and quickly clinged to the slightly sunken rock wall, and finally managed to avoid a rain of stones.

Those who didn't have time to dodge were beaten to the point that their heads were bleeding, and they even crawled and rolled down the ditch. The fellows above were so excited that they screamed, originally after the two cannons, everyone's morale was so high that they didn't want to, but now the two devils are only beaten to the point of crying dad and looking for their mother, and they are even more happy to death.

But now, I can't fight the cunning two devils, all of them are like mice, hiding, it doesn't matter if they hide, naturally there is a way to deal with them.

Under the command of Niu Gu, the villagers on the mountain rock lit the bundles of dry firewood and pushed them down from the mountain rock like a big fireball.

This time, it is enough for the two devils to stand it, although in winter, it is very pleasant to have a fire to roast, but when you encounter a big fireball, a bunch of big fireballs, rushing to your face, it is not comfortable to bake the fire.

The two devils were burned by the fire, they couldn't stand it, their clothes were burning, and they were going to die, so everyone didn't care about the weapons and ammunition in their hands, they threw them all away, and jumped into the river outside the roadside.

Seeing that all the puppet soldiers jumped into the river and fled to the other side of the river like water rats, Niu Ji told people to stop attacking.

The purpose has been achieved, as for those puppet soldiers, in fact, they are also Chinese, and now they have not committed murder and blood, so spare their lives and let them escape.

The key is to go down to clean up the battlefield quickly, the puppet army sent more than 50 guns and ammunition, which is what Niu Gu values the most, don't burn it with a fire.

Those chickens, ducks and geese naturally fled into the river in the face of the fire, and these guns and ammunition were still on the road.

More than 50 rifles, two light machine guns, and thousands of rounds of ammunition are enough to equip two platoons of people, Chen Lisheng smiled happily, and selected fifty or sixty people from the more than 100 young men to equip them with these weapons.

The rest, although they still have big knives, shuttles, darts, bows and arrows, are also reserves, and with guns, Niu Gu arranged for Da Shu to be the leader of the machine gun squad, and Song Junbao, Qi Yongqing, and Wei Panan also led a squad to train these fellows in the most basic aiming and shooting assassination.

Chen Lisheng is the captain, Niu Gu is the deputy captain, Niu Gu deliberately changed the title of the previous big boss and the second leader, so that it is a little more formal.
