In the territory of Lingqiu, in the Taihang Mountains, Yaojiabao.

In an open field in the mountains, the 424th Regiment opened a shooting range for the soldiers to train.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

Standing fifty meters away from the target, Yue Siliang held his breath to aim, and pulled the trigger again and again. After three shots, three bullet holes were left in the target.

"Good!"

……

The surrounding soldiers spoke in unison, and many of the recruits who had just been conscripted into the army were all amazed when they saw this scene, and they didn't expect that this regiment commander, who usually looked like a gentle man, still had this hand.

On the contrary, they were very surprised, because when Yue Siliang was shooting at the target today, the aiming time was too long than usual, and the accuracy was much worse.

“……”

Yue Siliang didn't speak, just looked at the gun in his hand lightly.

The shape of this gun is somewhat strange, there is no sleeve on the barrel, and the thin barrel and thick grip look a little out of proportion when combined with it. If you look at it with the barrel down and the grip up, it's like a chicken leg. This is exactly the pistol commonly worn by Japanese officers: the Southern Type 14 pistol, which also has another well-known common name - Wang Ba Box. This is because its holster is bulging and sits on the waist like a king's shell.

Holding the Wang Ba box in his hand, Yue Siliang was thoughtful. After a few moments, he walked to the edge of the shooting range and called the surrounding warriors to his side, and to his surprise, there were several civilians in ordinary clothes among the warriors.

"Commander, do you want to tell us something?"

One of the young men dressed in the clothes of the common people asked with some curiosity, and the expressions of the others were also quite expectant.

"Let's do it first, and today I'll tell you about this Wang Ba box."

Yue Siliang said with a smile, and sat down on a stone pier as he spoke.

"Commander, why do you call this 'Wang Ba Box'? It's weird to listen to. ”

It's still that young man, he is dark and strong, with big clear eyes, he looks smart and clever, and he has a lot of problems.

"Haha......"

Yue Siliang smiled easily and closed the gun's insurance. Picking up the wooden holster of the Type 14 pistol, Gada closed the holster with a bang and threw it on the ground, and everyone burst into laughter.

"Don't say it, it looks like a shrunken Wang Ba, no wonder it's called Wang Ba Box."

The black boy was surprised, then laughed again.

Yue Siliang waited for everyone to finish laughing, and then continued.

"I called everyone over, not just to tell everyone a joke, but to teach everyone what to know about guns. Let's practice with the master, don't we also have to learn how to play knives and guns. Today, I'm going to talk to you about guns.

Since we are talking about guns, let's start with this pistol, Wang Ba box. This Wang Ba box looks strange, and there are many faults on the gun......"

Yue Siliang said as he spoke, and began to fiddle with it in his hands, and after a while, he dismantled the Wang Ba box into several parts.

"This gun is not a good gun. There are a lot of problems on the body, the accuracy of the gun is average, and there is a possibility of misfire. At the same time, there is also the problem that the firing pin of this gun is too brittle. ”

As he spoke, Yue Siliang picked out the firing pin from the pile of parts in his hand and showed it to everyone.

"Commander, what is this thing for?"

It's still that black guy, staring at the firing pin with curiosity in his eyes, and he can't wait to stare at it.

"A gun can shoot bullets out with this firing needle. Once the bullet is loaded, we need to pull the trigger to shoot the bullet. This pull on the trigger is actually pushing the firing pin forward, so that the tip of the needle is pressed against the primer of the bullet, which is the small circle on the butt of the bullet. In this way, the medicine in the bullet is ignited, and the bullet is pushed out. ”

"Oh! I understand! ”

The black guy suddenly realized, and said with a light in his eyes.

"You just said that the firing pin of this gun is very brittle, which means that its firing pin is easy to break. If the firing pin breaks, it won't be able to withstand that ...... That ......"

"Primer."

Yue Siliang reminded with a smile, and at the same time cast an encouraging look.

"Yes, primer. If you can't withstand the primer, if you can't withstand the primer, the bullet won't be able to hit. That's what it means, right? Head? ”

"Haha......"

Yue Siliang laughed with relief and pointed at the black guy.

"Xiao Yao is very worthy of praise, he can use his brain! Know to follow my words and think below! Everyone should learn more from Xiaoyao. ”

was praised by Yue Siliang in public, Xiao Yao also smiled shyly, but his eyes were clearly full of pride.

"Xiao Yao is right, the biggest problem with this Wang Ba box is that sometimes it can't be played. However, the Japanese are obviously not stupid, and they gradually made up for this problem. The gun I was holding was an old gun. At that time, the problem of firing pins had not been solved, but an extra firing pin was issued in the holster to prevent the firing pin from breaking and the gun could not be used. ”

As he spoke, Yue Siliang opened its holster. Sure enough, a spare firing pin was found in it.

The soldiers all looked at Yue Siliang with admiration, admiring that there was still such a great knowledge in this gun, and at the same time, they also praised Yue Siliang for knowing so many things.

"Commander, do you know a lot? Can I understand as much as you do? ”

Xiao Yao looked hopeful, and Yue Siliang at this time seemed to have become a more knowledgeable figure than the old gentleman in their village in his heart.

"I have also accumulated many years of experience, I left home at the age of fifteen to join the army, and I have been in the blood for many years. I barely know anything until now, and there are still so many things in this world that I don't understand. You are all shedding blood for your country right now, and all I can do is teach you as much as I know what I know. ”

As soon as Yue Siliang said this, the soldiers around him were silent for a while, not expecting that Captain Yue, who was sitting here now talking and laughing, still had such a past.

"That's a long way off. Xiao Yao, the reason why I want to tell you this today is that I want to give some of the Wang Ba boxes in the regiment to your militia team. ”

When Xiao Yao heard Yue Siliang's words, he was stunned.

"Leader, you just said, isn't there a lot of problems with this Wang Ba box......

Yue Siliang smiled, and said frankly to Xiao Yao and several other militia representatives.

"That's right, there are a lot of problems with the Wang Ba box. Such a gun on a regular battlefield will not help our fighters much. So it's useless for us to keep them in our regiment. But your militia is different. Your mission is to keep the villagers safe, as well as to support them in times of war. There are not many confrontations with the enemy, and most of the time they are fought in small groups behind enemy lines.

There are not many opportunities to shoot in these jobs, but it is always much stronger to carry a Wang Ba box on your body than a large sword and spear. Of course, if we can, we will also find a way to give you some better guns, but now the regiment is also developing, and it is indeed not very abundant in terms of weapons, and I hope that your militia can understand. ”

Only then did the militia representatives understand what Yue Siliang meant, and they couldn't help but feel guilty in their hearts. They thought that Yue Siliang looked down on their militia, so they gave them bad weapons.

"Hey! It's us who are confused. If the little devils come to kill people and set fires, don't we have to fight with them even if we have a big knife? When you came, you helped us form a militia team, taught us how to train, and now give me a gun. What a favor this in itself, how can we pick and choose again?! ”

Xiao Yao had a straight face when he said this, their ancestors had been farmers for generations, and his father had never read any books. But his father taught their brothers a lesson worth remembering for the rest of their lives: people must have a conscience.

While it was being talked about, a large group of people came over from outside the training ground. As they walked, they talked happily with the soldiers of the first battalion and the militia of several nearby villages.

"Commander, we're back! Our winter clothes this time have fallen! ”

Bai Lin's face was full of joy, and a young man standing beside him wearing a military hat but wearing an ordinary coarse cloth coat was also full of emotion, but he still gave Bai Lin the opportunity to speak.

Yue Siliang patted Bai Lin on the shoulder to show his affirmation, but his eyes were on the young man beside Bai Lin, he looked six or seven points similar to Xiao Yao, but he was much more mature and calm. Yue Siliang took the initiative to shake hands and patted the young man on the shoulder.

"Da Yao, hard work. Thank you militia for your help. ”

Yao Tiansheng shook Yue Siliang's hand excitedly.

"Commander, you're polite, our militia really didn't help much, to be honest, we just dug some pits on the road and made some traps or something. The people who really killed the enemy were the white battalion commander and the soldiers, and we just helped shout twice at that time. ”

Seeing Yao Tiansheng's politeness, Yue Siliang waved his hand to stop his words.

"Hey, if it weren't for your militia team, we wouldn't have figured out the enemy's movements so easily. Your militia did us such a great favor the first time you struck! Don't be modest. ”

"Yes, brother, don't be sour. You don't know, the regiment commander just now said that he wants to shoot our militia team! ”

Xiao Yao also came over and gaged together. Yao Tiansheng just wanted to scold his younger brother, but when he heard that Yue Siliang was going to give them guns, he was also very moved. After receiving Yue Siliang's affirmative reply, the militia team behind Yao Tiansheng also cheered together.

Looking at the soldiers and militiamen who were in high spirits, Yue Siliang's chest suddenly became arrogant.

There are big difficulties, and small ways to play. Who has the final say here in Lingqiu is still unknown.
