After dinner in the evening, Bai Fei went to visit Zhang Yueqing's residence and comforted her a few words. After coming out, he discussed with the Lin family brothers, preparing to let them rest, and he would scout the vigil at night.

But the Lin brothers and the mute were unwilling, so Bai Fei had no choice but to give up and tell them to be careful about the outside situation and do a good job of handover.

In the middle of the night, Bai Fei heard a low whimper and cry, and he understood that it was the people in the cave crying for their relatives who died tragically during the day.

Damn little devils!

The sadness continued throughout the night. Bai Fei didn't sleep all night, and in the quiet night, he could always hear the sound of someone crying silently. Bai Fei secretly thought in his heart: This is not a way, we must find a way to cheer everyone up and turn grief and anger into motivation.

So early the next morning, Bai Fei first asked the Lin brothers to spread the captured guns and ammunition on the ground, and then gathered everyone together.

Bai Fei stood on a big rock, glanced at the thirty or so men with red and swollen eyes below, coughed, and said in a deep voice with a cold face: "Fellow villagers, since the big guy has decided to follow me Bai Fei, I have the obligation to be responsible for everyone." But I have one requirement, and that is absolute obedience! If someone can't do it, take a step forward now. ”

Everyone looked at each other, but no one moved.

Bai Fei glanced around, raised his voice and said, "Is there any?" ”

Still no one has come forward.

Bai Fei shouted slowly: "Very good! This shows that everyone's will to avenge their loved ones is very strong! ”

The crowd gritted their teeth and stirred, and a few tears immediately fell again.

Bai Fei said again: "I know everyone is very sad! However, at the moment we are at a critical juncture of life and death, I am not alarmist, we killed those devils in Zhangjiabao, the devils in the city will never sit idly by, they will soon come to us for revenge, and there will be a large number of devils who come to hunt us down. If everyone is still so sad and sad, when the Japanese devils come, they will only be slaughtered. So, my first command is to put away your grief and cheer up from now on! After a slow pause, Bai Fei continued: "Most of you have never touched a gun before, so I plan to give you some training..."

He pointed to the gun on the ground and said, "The enemy won't give us much time to prepare, from now on, each pick a handful of guys, and we'll start immediately." ”

Soon, everyone chose their weapons, and since there were many rifles, everyone basically chose the 38 rifle. To be honest, during World War II, Japan's 38 rifle was still very good, with an effective range of 450M-600M, and the killing distance for cluster targets even reached 700 meters to 800 meters, and its performance was much stronger than that of the formal rifles produced by the domestic arsenal at that time.

After picking out the rifle, Bai Fei immediately began to train everyone. Most of these people hadn't even touched a gun before, but now that time was pressing, Bai Fei could only give them some simple training. The first is to let them practice standing and holding guns, more than 30 people lined up in a row, holding the guns in their hands, shooting and holding them flat, without him to speak, they are not allowed to put down, and the people who practice this alone are miserable. Fortunately, everyone is a farmer, has the strength to take revenge, has a strong mind, and trains very hard. In just a few days, the posture of the end gun has achieved initial results. And the most important thing is that Bai Fei used the drill to replace the pain in everyone's heart with physical fatigue, and the morale improved a lot.

After that, Bai Fei taught them to shoot in a lying position, and at the same time taught them how to rely on fortifications and obstacles to shoot under the premise of concealing themselves, and taught everyone some shooting skills in the process of shooting, and corrected everyone's shortcomings.

Everyone got up early and practiced late, and the training time was short, but everyone made rapid progress. The only thing is that the live firing of the past few days has almost exhausted the previously captured bullets.

This morning, not long after Bai Fei got up, Boss Lin came over with a frown and said, "Benefactor, I checked the ammunition just now and found that there was not much left..."

Bai Fei nodded and said, "In the past few days, everyone has been practicing with live ammunition, which has indeed cost a lot, but you don't have to worry, I have a way to solve it." ”

The two were discussing, and someone outside suddenly shouted: "Lin Laoer, they are back!" ”

As he was talking, he saw Lin Lao Er and another young man, sweating profusely and panting, running into the hole, Lin Lao Er said loudly as he ran: "Benefactor, devil... The devil is coming! ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately became in an uproar.

"Quiet! What does a noisy yelling look like? ”

Bai Fei waved his hand, and everyone immediately stopped making noise.

Bai Fei asked people to bring two bowls of water and handed them to drink them, so that they could talk about the situation.

Lin Lao Er said: "Benefactor, many devils have come and killed us." ”

Bai Fei said: "Don't worry, speak slowly, the more detailed the better." ”

Lin Lao Er said: "Yesterday, the two of us went to the mountain to investigate, and when we walked to Caogou Fort, it was already very late, so we rested on the mountain near Caogou Fort, and at two or three o'clock in the evening, thousands of devils suddenly came to Caogou Fort, and it seemed that they came from Wei County. They surrounded Caogou Fort and began to kill people and set fires. Benefactor, the little devil is simply inhumane, they gathered the villagers of Caogou Fort and drove them to the open space outside, first with machine gun fire, and then with bayonets to stab each of the villagers... We saw it clearly on the mountain next to us, and we wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill a few little devils, but in the end, I didn't dare to act rashly, I... I'm useless! ”

After Lin Lao Er finished speaking with red eyes, he punched himself hard.

Bai Fei grabbed him and said, "You did the right thing, when facing a powerful enemy, the first thing we have to do is to protect ourselves, kill the devil, and there will be opportunities in the future." Where is the devil now? ”

Lin Lao Er said: "When we leave, the devils are also ready to drive, according to their speed, I estimate that they will arrive at us in the evening." ”

Bai Fei groaned for a while, and said to the Lin family brothers: "You two go to the cave to gather everyone outside the cave first, and I will arrive later." As he spoke, he took out a map seized from the devil and spread it out to study it carefully.

This map of China of the little devil was printed in February 1914, and it is marked in great detail.

Bai Fei was sure in his heart that this group of devils would not come just for them, otherwise there would be no need to send such a large force of several thousand people. He found the location of Laiyuan and Wei County on the map, and saw Baoding not far to the east, and thought of the Battle of Baoding that was in full swing at this time. Historically, after the devils occupied the Pingjin area, they locked the next offensive target to occupy Zhuozhou ---- capture Baoding, intending to advance rapidly along the Pinghan Railway and complete the ambition of occupying China in three months. In order to resist the Japanese army, the Chinese army set up three lines of defense in the area from Fangshan to Baoding, but still could not stop the iron hooves of the Japanese army, and Baoding finally fell.

Bai Fei carefully recalled the detailed experience of the Battle of Baoding in the history books, and finally discovered the sinister intentions of this group of devils in the mountains.

It turned out that not long after the start of the Baoding Defense Battle, the Chinese army located in the first line of defense did not stop the footsteps of the Japanese army, and after the Japanese army broke through the first line of defense, crossed the Yongding River to occupy Gu'an and Yongqing, and marched to Songlindian in Zhuoxian County; Later, the Mengliang camp in Xincheng County crossed the Juma River, and detoured to Gaobeidian behind the Chinese army, the defenders were attacked by the enemy on their backs, isolated and helpless, and the defenders of the line could only retreat to the mountains of Laishui and Yixian, and retreated south along the eastern side of Taihang Mountain. The defenders on the front line of Laishui, Gaobeidian and Xincheng were also defeated. In order to intercept the Chinese troops retreating south, the Japanese army mobilized heavy troops to advance southward along the Pinghan Line and the mountainous areas west of Yixian and Mancheng. If at this time, another Japanese army came out from Shanxi through the Taihang Mountains from west to east and cut off the retreat of the national army, then I really don't know how many people will die on the way to retreat.

Just when Bai Fei understood the devil's intentions, suddenly an electronic voice sounded in his head: "Please pay attention, the system task is released!" Please note that the system task is posted! ”

Bai Fei was stunned for a moment, and the electronic voice continued: "The host must destroy the Japanese army's encirclement and annihilation plan, and after completing the mission, the host will receive 10,000 meritorious rewards..."

Hearing that there were 10,000 meritorious rewards, Bai Feizheng was overjoyed, but he heard the system say: "If the mission fails, the system will be closed for three months, and the host will not be able to exchange anything during the shutdown period." ”

Damn, Bai Fei scolded secretly, close it for three months, and then the daylily will be cold.

At this time, Boss Lin came over and said, "Everyone is assembled." ”

Bai Fei nodded, cleaned up and walked out of the cave. In the open space outside the cave, in addition to Zhang Yueqing, more than 30 villagers in Zhangjiabao all stood in turn, and Bai Fei said slowly to everyone: "I believe everyone has heard it, the devils of the brigade are not far from us." Long story short, everyone has been training hard these days, and now it's time to test everyone, pay attention to the order, all of them, stand upright! ”

Immediately, everyone looked stunned and stood up straight.

Bai Fei glanced at everyone and shouted, "Boss Lin! ”

"Here!" Boss Lin immediately stepped out of the queue.

"Get all the remaining bullets out and we're going to do a test!"

"Yes!"

A moment later, the bullets came. Bai Fei pointed to the target stack 150 meters away and said: "Each person on the scene receives 5 bullets, I don't care what posture you use, at a distance of 200 meters, those who can hit the target with two shots of five bullets are considered qualified." Now on, shoot in turn! ”

To be honest, shooting at a distance of 200 meters, this requirement is already strict, but Bai Fei can't care so much now, in order to deal with the upcoming Japanese army and complete the tasks assigned by the system, he must select a group of excellent people from among these people.

To tell the truth, there are only about 30 people on the mountain now, and it is not even possible to hit a stone with an egg, at most it is just to find death. He had already figured out that in order to sabotage the Japanese army's attempts, he could only carry out guerrilla tactics, so it was necessary to select high-level shooters, and only in this way could he kill and injure as many Japanese troops as possible in guerrilla warfare.

After the assessment began, first of all, Lin Lao and Lin Lao Er, the two brothers, these two brothers used to play with guns, and then they followed Bai Fei to fight a devil, and now after Bai Fei's hand-in-hand guidance and training, the level is naturally not the same. It went well, Lin Lao Da and Lin Lao Er hit all 5 shots, and the two brothers stood aside with some excitement.

Then there was a dark-skinned seventeen or eighteen-year-old man named Kuroko. He held the gun, stood directly, raised his hand and fired 5 shots, and the gun hit.

The difficulty of shooting while standing is different from shooting on your stomach. Bai Fei was taken aback when he saw this, and called him over to ask him if he had played with guns before, and he was still secretly wondering, why didn't he find out when he was training before? Could it be that he is blinded?

Kuroko shook his head with a humble face.

On the other hand, Boss Lin explained: "Benefactor, Dazhu's family has been farming for generations, and I have never seen him touch a gun. ”

Bai Fei's heart moved, in just a short period of training, this kid can reach this level, it's not simple, if he hasn't touched a gun before, then this kid is definitely a shooting genius. To be on the safe side, Bai Fei gave him five more bullets and told him to continue trying. Kuroko took the bullet and hit five more shots.

"Not bad, not bad!" Bai Fei nodded happily and patted Da Zhu's shoulder as a reward.

When Dazhu heard this, he grinned happily, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.

Everyone then came out for the assessment one by one, and when it was Mr. Song's turn to assess, he actually gave up and smiled bitterly at Bai Fei: "I don't think I have the ability to hit the target, so I'd better save a few bullets and use it for people with good marksmanship to fight devils." ”

Bai Fei had no choice but to give up.

After the assessment, Bai Feiyi counted that half of the people who hit the target with more than two shots, as many as 17 people. I thought it would be nice to have about ten people, but now it's a surprise. Even the dumb man was shot twice and stood happily beside Bai Fei.

"Okay, the results have come out, those who meet the standards will follow me down the mountain to fight devils in a while, and those who don't pass the assessment will stay on the mountain to watch their families."

The 17 people who passed the assessment immediately became excited. The rest of those who did not pass the test were depressed and demoralized.

Seeing this, Bai Fei cleared his throat and said to them: "Although you haven't passed the test, don't be discouraged. After all, we've only been training for a short time. In the future, if you practice more, you will definitely be able to reach their level. ”

After speaking, Bai Fei looked at his watch, it was close to 11 o'clock at noon, and he immediately ordered Chef Liu to cook as soon as possible. Because there was about to be a war, Bai Fei instructed Chef Liu to cook a sumptuous meal.

This Chef Liu is about 30 years old, and it is said that someone in the family used to be an imperial chef in the palace, and his cooking skills are very good. The last time Zhangjiabao was slaughtered, Chef Liu's family was killed. In this shooting assessment, Chef Liu passed the assessment, and he was able to go down the mountain to fight devils to avenge his relatives, not to mention how happy he was.

After receiving Bai Fei's order, Chef Liu said, "Master Bai, just take a look." ”

Soon the meal was ready. Everyone sat around to eat, and Bai Fei found that Zhang Yueqing did not come out, so he instructed Chef Liu to serve a bowl separately and personally sent it to Zhang Yueqing.

When I came to Zhang Yueqing's residence, I saw that she was sitting in a daze. Bai Fei coughed, Zhang Yueqing turned his head, and his fair face was a little haggard.

Bai Fei smiled and said, "Yueqing, why didn't you go out to eat?" ”

Zhang Yueqing's eyes were a little red, and she said softly: "Big Brother Bai, I don't want to eat." ”

Bai Fei put the food aside and said: "Brother Bai understands that you are still feeling sorry for your dead relatives, don't worry, when Brother Bai comes, he will take people down the mountain to fight devils and avenge the dead villagers." ”

Zhang Yueqing's tears fell again when she heard this, she wiped her tears, untied a piece of jade from her neck, and said softly: "Brother Bai, this piece of jade is the talisman that my father asked for me when I was a child, you take it, I hope it can bless you safely." As he spoke, he took a step forward and wanted to hang Bai Fei around his neck.

Bai Fei didn't believe in these things, but the beauty was kind, so she had to stretch her neck and let her put it on for herself. The two stood so close together that each other's breath could hit each other's faces. Bai Fei felt a heartbeat, and saw Zhang Yueqing's tearful eyes moving, so he reached out and hugged her in his arms, feeling a slight tremor in his arms, Bai Fei whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, Brother Bai will be fine, and I promised you a long time ago that I will take care of you in the future, do you understand?" ”

Zhang Yueqing was held in Bai Fei's arms and nodded heavily with tears in her eyes.

The two were warming up, and Mr. Song's voice came from outside: "Brother Bai, according to your request, everyone has extinguished all the fireworks after eating." The brothers who came down the mountain had already assembled outside. ”

Bai Fei had no choice but to let go of Zhang Yueqing, reached out to wipe away her tears, and saw her reluctant, so he explained again before he walked out.

Coming outside, Bai Fei said to the people who stayed behind: "After we go down the mountain, you must be on strict guard and listen to Mr. Song's orders." Remember! Be sure to pay attention to concealment, this time the little devil is menacing and cannot be taken lightly. In addition, if there are devils searching the mountains, they can hide, and don't shoot lightly unless they have to. ”

He called Mr. Song aside and said, "Mr. Song, I will entrust the personnel on the mountain to you, if you encounter a crisis situation, you will leave here, and come back when the devil is gone, you must protect Miss Zhang." ”

Mr. Song said, "Don't worry, Brother Bai, I know what to do." ”

He also had all the grenadiers, shells, and machine guns that had been captured last time left at home just in case. Just grenades and grenades, and a telescope were given to the brother who was about to go down the mountain to fight devils. Then he ordered the mute to go to his residence to get the bullets, the bullets seized earlier were recently used for training, and there was not much left, Bai Fei just took advantage of everyone's assessment, went back to his residence, and saw that there was no one around, and exchanged 3,000 rounds of bullets with the system, and these bullets could be divided into 100 rounds per person.

Of course, Bai Fei would not explain how the bullets came from, and after the dumb man carried the bullets out and hurriedly distributed them, he led the team down the mountain.
