A sneer came from the darkness: "When I get here, I can't live for you, and I can't let you die—tell me quickly, but I know that your wife is quite beautiful, and Gu Baochang and his subordinates all covet the beauty of his wife for a long time, and thanks to my care, they didn't dare to mess around......"

The howl sounded in the dark space, and the voice was full of despair and fear, like maggots eating bones.

Once, when he was a poverty alleviation cadre, Zhang Ran was most annoyed by the fact that whenever he held a meeting or something, he would speak as a leader.

It's a lot, it's a lot, and the result is that the actual effect of the fart is not there, and it's a waste of time.

This, he believes, is also the way the vast majority of people perceive this formalism.

But since becoming the leader of this detachment, Zhang Ran has found that at some point, formalism is indeed not a good thing, and it does have its practical significance.

Just like now, a large group of people stood in front of them, most of them were a little absent-minded, and wished that he would not say anything, and immediately go to deal with the tank guns dragged by the strange-looking machines that had been reorganized from the back mountain......

But Xu Kunjun, Gai Heiliangniu, Damao Drill, Cheng Dongshan, Xiao Sanyuan and any other personnel related to this machine and tank gun stared at him blankly, and their rough faces were full of expressions such as "Captain, you praise us......

Even if Zhang Ran didn't want to say anything, and wanted to obey the will of the people, he had to say a few words - he couldn't let these heroes who built tractors and cannons chill because of this!

"Comrades, folks!"

Zhang Ran yelled: "It's been more than two years since the little devil invaded us, and it's been one year and seven months since the establishment of my Jindong detachment!" ”

"In the past two years, our China has suffered unprecedented humiliation, and countless soldiers and compatriots have died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Japanese devils!"

"In the past year and a half, our detachment and the guerrillas under the leadership of the detachment have fought to the death against the little devils, hundreds of battles large and small, and more than 3,000 soldiers and civilians have died on the battlefield fighting the little devils......

"The tombstones in our martyrs' cemetery have been built from scratch, and now they are connected into a piece, and they can't be counted!"

"If it weren't for this war, those comrades who are now lying in the martyrs' cemetery might still be alive and well, with their parents and relatives, but now, they are all dead...... Their parents, the white-haired people send the black-haired people, their loved ones, will never see their familiar faces again......"

When he said this, Zhang Ran's voice was low, and the soldiers and civilians present looked sad and unwilling, and scolded the little devil in their hearts.

"We all know that these martyrs died to protect our country and nation, and they lived a glorious life and a great death!"

Zhang Ran raised his voice and continued to roar: "We also know that if our Chinese nation wants to get rid of the fate of being enslaved and oppressed, we can only fight and fight with the little devils to the end - therefore, someone must sacrifice and shed blood......

"We all know this!"

"But I know that if we had better weapons and better equipment, we would never have died so many people!"

"Now, our heroic warriors, because the equipment and weapons are so poor, they often have to use their own lives as weapons, often several people, to kill a little devil!"

"We don't want that!"

"What kind of thing is a little devil? We're actually trading our lives with this kind of thing now, and even asking for a few for one - it's a shame! ”

"It is a great shame for our Chinese nation!"

"When our ancestor was wide, his little devil still called us a minister!"

"A pack of white-eyed wolf-like things, dogs that can't keep a family!"

The soldiers and civilians in the audience were successfully mobilized and scolded one after another.

"Comrades, folks, please be quiet!"

Zhang Ran waved his hand and said: "The little devils invade us and bully us, just by relying on their good equipment - if you want not to be bullied, what should we do?" ”

Then he pulled his throat and asked himself: "Of course, it is self-reliance and the development of armaments!" ”

"Self-reliance, development of armaments!"

"Self-reliance, development of armaments ......"

All the roars, almost instantly, shook the sky!

Xu Kunjun, Gai Heiliang and others saw that the topic was finally pulled to themselves, and they all straightened their waists, waiting excitedly......

When everyone was almost shouting, Zhang Ran continued: "Since the day our detachment was established, our detachment has gradually developed armaments from scratch, initially black powder, grenades, and mines, and then we have sulfuric acid and made high explosives - over the past year or so, with the unremitting efforts of nearly 1,000 comrades in our detachment, our detachment has overcome countless difficulties and created one miracle after another in the history of military industry in the base areas behind enemy lines of our Eighth Route Army!" ”

"Now, let us applaud Deng Gong of the Ministry of Chemical Industry, Minister Mao of the Ministry of Ammunition, and all the comrades who are fighting on the military front!"

Applause, thunderous sounds.

Mao Drill Cheng Dongshan Niu Da and the others were shy like children, Deng Fang was still nervous, but Deng Ying beside him was already cheering, cheering desperately for his father......

When everyone had enough trouble, Zhang Ran once again pulled the high voice and said loudly: "The contributions of the comrades in the military industry over the past year or so are obvious to all of us!" ”

"If it weren't for the efforts of our military comrades day and night, our detachment would not have given the devils a head-on blow again and again in the process of fighting with the devils for more than a year, and broke the myth of the invincibility of the little devils again and again!"

"Of course, the purpose of gathering everyone here today is not to sing praises for our comrades in the military industry - this war is far from the time of victory, and such a thing as singing praises of virtue is naturally after victory!"

"I think you've all seen the purpose of bringing you together today!"

Zhang Ran's hand pointed to the modified tank gun, as well as the walk-behind tractor, and said loudly: "After the unremitting efforts of my Jindong detachment mechanical experts, Xu Kunjun Xu Gong, as well as weapons research experts, Gai Heiliang Gai Gong, and at the same time, with the cooperation of the Niu team leader of the blacksmith workshop, the team leader of Cheng Dongshan Cheng of the second workshop, Xiao Sanyuan Xiao, and all relevant personnel, my detachment will completely get rid of no artillery support from today, but anyone who fights with the little devil can only fight with the little devil at close range, and the little devil bombards us with artillery fire, We can only bite the bullet and die in history......"

"Our Jindong detachment now has its own artillery fire......

Zhang Ran's voice was hoarse.

And all the soldiers and civilians are also crazy, screaming, clapping and stomping, in a mess.

"Now, we have the chief contributors to the research and development of the towed artillery developed and assembled by the Jindong Detachment of the Eighth Route Army, Xu Kunjun Xu Gong, and Gai Heiliang Gai Gong, who came to the stage to say a few words to everyone - everyone is welcome to ......"

Zhang Ran roared, Xu Kunjun and Gai Heiliang were ashamed, but they came to the stage excitedly, clearing their throats and wanting to speak.

It's just that the audience has already become a mess!

It's out of control......

Thin Monkey, Shi Yuan, Kang Ting, Wang Laogui and others relied on themselves to be the old men of the detachment, and they had already fought for the first time to shake the engine of the walk-behind tractor!

Wang Wenping, who was stunned, was not well because of the injury on his belly, and he couldn't go up to grab the first, but he was still not idle, shouting and cheering from afar - everyone was shouting and cheering!

"Be quiet, be quiet......"

Zhang Ran yelled at the top of his voice, but it was useless at all.

Obviously, everyone thinks that it is more interesting to watch a group of senior generals of the detachment fight in public than to listen to him, the captain, or Xu Kunjun, Gai Heiliang and others make speeches......

"Captain, it's okay!"

Xu Kunjun Gai Heiliang was a little regretful, but he was also empathetic: "In fact, as long as we see that our hard work can be developed in time, and it is so popular, and we can play a role in the next battle with the little devil, we are already satisfied...... As for whether or not to speak, it's all trivial......"

"It's a shame that people are not defeated, Lao Tzu can't spare them!"

Zhang Ran looked at the group of guys pulling their hair and hugging their thighs in the audience with a gloomy face, and the roots of his teeth were itching.

The fight soon came to an end, and it was Wang Laogui who grabbed the opportunity!

With the vigorous rotation of the crank, the engine mounted on the tire bracket rumbled!

The entire team site suddenly erupted into an earth-shattering roar!

With the order of Guo Zhengxue, the commander of the artillery company, Guo Yaoxuan, the commander of the first platoon of the artillery company, who had been practicing in the back mountain for several days, immediately stepped forward with a platoon, and in a rush of passwords, quickly combined the modified gun and the tractor!

Zhang Ran pinched his pocket watch to count the time.

In less than ten minutes, the originally scattered tank guns and tractors were assembled, and Guo Yaoxuan immediately asked loudly: "Report to the captain, report to the company commander, a platoon of the artillery company, ready, request to move to the No. 2 target location!" ”

"Action—you only have forty minutes!"

Zhang Ran pointed to the No. 2 target location more than three miles away and shouted!

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Guo Yaoxuan shouted, and then personally drove the tractor along the roughly repaired road to drag the tank gun abruptly.

The more than 30 soldiers in the platoon were quickly divided into three groups, one group followed the tractor and the tank gun to run forward to protect the safety of the artillery fire, and the other part rushed in front of the tractor with an ordnance shovel.

The last group of people rushed to the predetermined artillery array more than three miles away, wielding shovels and trying to build an artillery array before the tractor dragged the tank guns over, as long as the guns arrived, they could fix the artillery fire and fire as soon as possible!

Zhang Ran and a group of generals followed the tractor, pinching the time on the one hand, and seeing if there were any omissions to fill in the gaps.

The villagers and soldiers also followed, and the scene was very lively.

By the time the tractor arrived at location No. 2 with the tank gun in tow, twenty minutes had passed!

More than three miles, less than two kilometers, twenty minutes.

This speed of movement is very unsatisfactory - after all, in the case of full speed, it will definitely not take more than ten minutes for a well-trained warrior to rush to this distance!

But everyone, including Zhang Ran, was already so excited that they were about to go crazy!

Because this is the speed at which a tank gun is dragging nearly a ton - at least at the moment, on the battlefield of China, it is absolutely unique to move with artillery fire to attack the enemy at such a speed!

The live-fire exercise of the artillery company platoon is still going on!

After the tank gun was quickly removed from the tractor and moved to the position leveled out by the soldiers of the first platoon of the artillery company that had arrived first, all kinds of wrenches and other tools were put into battle to quickly remove the tires on the gun, and then fixed the gun body, tested the firing range, and aimed ......

Forty-three minutes later, everything was finally arranged.

"Put!"

With Guo Yaoxuan's order, there was a boom, and the cannonballs whistled out from the muzzle, and in the next moment, the mountain beam five or six miles away exploded!

The crowd erupted in a hissing voice, and many villagers who had only seen the flying thunder cannon used by the detachment said: "It is worthy of being a serious artillery, but it is farther than our gasoline barrel cannon......"

There was a roar from the direction of the explosion, which was the report of the tank gun hitting the target by the soldiers arranged along the way.

"Offset the intended target by almost fifty meters ......"

After determining the bullet point, Guo Zhengxue, the commander of the artillery company, reported with an ugly face, and Guo Yaoxuan, the commander of the platoon, and those soldiers were even more guilty and wanted to put their heads in the crotch of their pants......

It doesn't matter if they didn't finish firing within the scheduled time, and now they don't even hit the target - they feel sorry for Zhang Ran's trust and live up to the expectations of their comrades and fellow villagers......

"This is just the beginning, if you train more, you will be able to hit accurately!"

Now, there is no need for Zhang Ran and others to speak, the soldiers, militiamen and villagers who came with them have already taken the initiative to comfort Guo Yaoxuan and others, especially those soldiers and militiamen, the affectionate expressions when comforting Guo Yaoxuan and others are comparable to a mother's ......

Although this live-fire exercise was not a success, they all saw the potential of the artillery battery!

Just imagine, if the team they are in is inseparable from the little devil, the artillery company moves to the support position, and shells the little devil several miles away, and then they take the opportunity to cover up and kill the little devil when the little devil is being bombed and crying for his mother......

Just thinking about it, it's dripping!

Of course, the most beautiful in my heart is a few Zhang Ran!

After all, according to the history he knew, the number of the Eighth Route Army insisting on the battlefield behind enemy lines was only more than 200,000 at this stage, and the Eighth Route Army with its own artillery fire was pitifully small, and it often had to be a division as a team to have such a small artillery.

As for a team of the Eighth Route Army with two guns - anyway, at this stage, Zhang Ranzhen has not seen any relevant records in history!

And the Jindong detachment established by himself, after the regular strength has now increased the artillery company, the team of less than 1,500 people has two artillery pieces - just this is enough to proudly his tail to the sky!

What's more, the artillery fire of the detachment is not the same as other Eighth Route Army teams with artillery fire!

Even if other Eighth Route Army teams have artillery fire, it can only be a ground-mounted cannon, specially placed in a certain critical position, and only pull it out when there is really no way, and the movable range, even if those Eighth Route Army soldiers are tired and vomit blood, it is estimated that it is to move within a range of a few hundred meters on a position!

These two cannons of their own are cattle!

Pull it out, relying on the Dongcang Highway, more than a hundred miles, as long as the detachment's ability to make shells can keep up, it can be hit from beginning to end - that feeling reminds Zhang Ran of the burden cannon in chess, eighteen dozen along the river......

With the help of tractors, these two guns have at least dozens of top-mounted guns!

Thinking about this, thinking about the feeling of not having artillery fire for more than a year, Zhang Ran almost had the feeling that the serfs had turned over and sang for many years, and his heart was full of joy......

The only one who is unhappy may be only one - that is Jia Quantao, the commander of the cavalry platoon!

I think that at the beginning, when Zhang Ran begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother to come over from Yuan Zhenfeng, Jia Quantao was full of spirits, and felt that he was a person from a cavalry background, and he finally had a place to use, and he no longer needed the ability of a cavalry, and was used as an infantryman......

But who knows, since entering the detachment, he has a war horse and a cavalry platoon, but he has always been used as a herald!

And looking at the current situation, my cavalry platoon, I'm afraid there is not much chance to get rid of the fate of the heralds!

Thinking of this, Jia Quantao felt the bitterness in his heart, and said that he had known this, and he might as well follow Commander Yuan as an infantry-being an infantry can at least kill devils, but now?

Now it's someone else who kills the devil and can only watch it himself - the more he mixes, the more he goes back!
