In the thatched shed, Xiao Yifei, Die'er, Du Youde, Tang Guozhong, Chao Lianliang, and Du Huide sat around the table of the Eight Immortals and talked.

Xiao Yifei said: "Our guerrilla group will live here for the time being, first repair this house, and then find a way to go to Dongda Town and bring all the tools used in the shop for striking iron." We have set up a secret arsenal here to make weapons that will be used to fight the Japanese invaders. ”

Butterfly whispered, "The devil knows about our place!" It's not safe here. ”

Xiao Yifei patted his head, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Let's just go over the mountain, go over the woods and build a house near the river, if we can find a suitable cave, and build a secret arsenal there, what do you think?" ”

Everyone nodded yes.

Die'er said, "I don't have tools, I have to spend money to buy them!" ”

Xiao Yifei looked at Du Youde and said with a smile: "Get all the money from the leprosy family in Dongda Town." ”

Du Youde whispered: "Don't you hate thieves the most? ”

Xiao Yifei smiled and said: "This is to punish the leprosy head, and it is also to warn the leprosy head, if he is at home, he will kill him." ”

Du Youde nodded and said, "Okay!" It was enough for Du Huide and I to go. ”

Xiao Yifei said: "With the money, we will go to Xida Town to buy relevant tools, and after the house is built, we will find a way to go to Dongda Town and move all the iron-making equipment from our family." ”

Xiao Yifei is a very focused person, once he decides to do something, he will concentrate all his energy and find ways to make it happen. The six members of the guerrilla group found a suitable cave in the mountain, repaired a flat land outside the cave, built a large shed by themselves, and renovated the cave so that each person had a sleeping area.

Du Youde and Du Huide got a large amount of silver dollars and jewelry from the puppet military camp commander Leprosy's family, and used the money to buy enough food and daily necessities.

Xiao Yifei took everyone for three more nights to Dongda Town, and moved all the stoves and related utensils in the blacksmith shop.

Through the joint efforts of everyone, two months later, Xiao Yifei's guerrilla group produced 30 boxes of Japanese-style grenades. In terms of use, the link of pulling the ring and then tapping is canceled. As soon as the ring is pulled, it will explode in five seconds without knocking, and short-range targets must wait three seconds before they can be thrown.

Japanese grenades were small in size, had a small charge and had limited power.

Xiao Yifei regarded the grenade as an important weapon, so he made it larger, and the charge was twice that of an authentic Japanese grenade.

The trick of making this kind of grenade is that it is necessary to master the thickness and uniformity of the cavity when casting, and the reason why the grenade made in the border area sometimes explodes in half and has less lethality is that the thickness of the cavity is uneven, and the thin side will be the first to explode, and the strong pressure generated after the gunpowder detonation will be weakened instantly. It is also for this reason that the fragments explode unevenly, resulting in only a small number of fragments, and the lethality will of course be greatly reduced.

Xiao Yifei has a talent for making weapons, and after a short period of research and experimentation, he has solved the problem.

The gunpowder was purchased by Tang Guozhong and other people, and then after Xiao Yifei adjusted the gunpowder dispensing ratio and found the right ratio, the grenade produced by Xiao Yifei was not only more lethal, but also safe and convenient to use.

Thirty boxes of grenades were manufactured, and all the scrap iron materials were used up, and the gunpowder Tang Guozhong and others were able to make them themselves, but the scrap iron materials were extremely difficult to acquire among the people.

Men are busy with big things, Die'er is not idle, laundry, cooking, cleaning and other life work are all covered, a fifteen-year-old girl, in the war environment, is also growing rapidly. As long as Die'er can be with Xiao Yifei, she is willing to endure no matter how hard she suffers. There was always a smile on her beautiful face, and she kept humming a little tune. Du Youde is old and has married a wife, and when he and Du Huide went to the leprosy's house to get money, they stole a lot of beautiful clothes and jewelry for Die'er.

Butterfly wears beautiful clothes and jewelry, and looks more and more youthful and lively, pretty and cute.

Xiao Yifei was sometimes stunned when he saw Die'er, and unconsciously, he felt that she was a woman.

Du Youde and others called Xiao Yifei a little brother, as everyone worked together for a long time, and because of Xiao Yifei's strong ability, they felt that it was inappropriate to call Xiao Yifei a little brother, the four of them discussed privately and decided to bow to Xiao Yifei, the four of them were ranked by age, but for Xiao Yifei, they must be based on ability, and called Xiao Yifei the eldest brother.

Du Youde and the others knew that Xiao Yifei respected them very much, and if he proposed it casually, Xiao Yifei would definitely not agree. After discussion, Du Youde came up with a clever way to compete in martial arts. Everyone knows that in terms of martial arts and strength, Xiao Yifei is absolutely superior, and the four of them may not be able to fight together. As long as there is a competition, Xiao Yifei will definitely win.

After having breakfast at the table of the eight immortals in the cave, the six people sat down to drink tea.

Du Youde raised the matter of worship, and put forward the opinion of the competition ranking, Xiao Yifei's brows furrowed, Xiao Yifei shook his head and said: "Four big brothers, the New Fourth Army has rules that it is not allowed to engage in such gang and faction activities. ”

Du Youde smiled and said: "We are not the New Fourth Army, and besides, we are not even official guerrillas, so I don't think we have violated the policy by swearing to the army." ”

Tang Guozhong said: "The purpose of our worship is not to seek personal gain, but to better fight the little devils, now that the grenade is made, we will soon attack the turret, the battlefield has no eyes, no one can guarantee that it will not die in battle." Like a few of us, who will care if they die? Guerrillas tube? Aren't we guerrillas, are we in charge of the government? The government doesn't even know who we are. After swearing brothers, as long as there are people alive between us, we can at least send news to our families, right? At least we can write on the genealogy of our ancestral hall that we are anti-Japanese heroes, right? ”

Die'er was very excited when she heard this, and asked with a smile, "Can I bow to you?" ”

Du Youde smiled and said: "Of course, you are also a heroine, and we respect you very much." ”

After Xiao Yifei thought about it, he nodded and said, "Okay!" We will bow down, but we will not preach it to the public. ”

Everyone nodded.

After the competition, Xiao Yifei ranked first, Du Youde second, Tang Guozhong third, Du Huide fourth, Chao Lianliang fifth, and Die'er sixth.

Everyone wrote the eight characters of the birthday, lit the branches instead of candles, and knelt down together in the cave. The eight characters of the birth date are kept by Die'er.

At the end of the worship, Xiao Yifei became everyone's eldest brother, Xiao Yifei refused to call others his younger brother, and everyone suggested that Xiao Yifei call them by their names.

The atmosphere became more lively when the six of them sat around the table of the Eight Immortals again and drank tea.

Of course, Xiao Yifei was extremely happy, he was only sixteen years old, and he could be the eldest brother of these martial arts masters, which was never dreamed.

Xiao Yifei said to everyone: "Brothers, how can I, Xiao Yifei, be your eldest brother?" Since you have prostrutted your heads, I have received your thoughts. I don't talk nonsense, I just emphasize one point, we must share difficulties, share blessings, share life and death, and never give up if we don't kill all the little devils. ”

Everyone nodded their heads again and again, and they all said yes!

Xiao Yifei said: "We are located here in the middle of Dongda Town and Xida Town, and everyone must know very well about the slaughter of the village by the devils in Xida Town, and we must avenge this revenge." But at present, the most important thing to solve is not the devils in Xida Town, but the artillery tower in the direction of Dongda Town. Our guerrillas were ambushed by the Japanese in this turret, and Gujiaba Village was also attacked twice by the Japanese in this turret, and suffered extremely heavy casualties. We don't have the ability to blow up the turret, but we can lure the snake out of the hole and find a way to wipe out all the turret devils and puppet army. ”

Du Youde frowned and said, "Just our six brothers, maybe not, right?" ”

Xiao Yifei said: "The New Fourth Army has suffered so many casualties, and now is not suitable for a big battle. The captain is still at the battalion headquarters and doesn't know when he will be able to return. I think as long as we find a way, it's not impossible to destroy the Japanese Gang in the Turret, right? We have thirty boxes of grenades, what if we can make the most of them? The little devils don't know that we have made so many grenades, they are full of desire to destroy us, and once they know where we are, they will rush out and attack like crazy, this is our chance. ”
