There was a good eyesight on the field, which caused a round of applause.

Hou Dashan shook his head again and again, pretending to be stupid and said: "The bald man smashed the monk, the blind, I really didn't expect it, I really hit it." But I thought to myself, "Huh! I really don't know the three eyes of Ma Wangye, the stability of your cannon is excellent, I don't even need to test the cannon, in your shooting yuan, just modify it a little.

So, of course, a one-shot hit.

Squad Leader Li was a little stupid for a while. Wang Dawu is not convinced, squad leader Li is the best gunner in the artillery regiment, can it be said that this regiment leader Hou is even stronger than squad leader Li! He stared at the target again with wide eyes in amazement, and it was indeed a hit. He tilted his head and said to Hou Dashan: "This cannon doesn't count, if the next cannon can hit, then it's really counted." If you really have to type it, I'll write it upside down. ”

At this moment, Hou Dashan was even more modest, and hurriedly said: "The next shot will definitely not be able to hit, my shot is really blind." Anyway, it's Meng, I'll hit the 10-meter bullseye to try, anyway, Mengbei, there's no shame in not being able to get it? ”

As soon as he said this, the brothers of the artillery regiment began to coax and say, "Fight, try another shot." "You're already a sharpshooter, what's the point of another shot?" "I don't think it's blind, maybe there are really two hits."

Liu Zhiyuan was worried about Hou Dashan again, and reminded him: "I said Lao Hou, take it when you see it, don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick." ”

Han Xing also persuaded him: "You have already raised the face of the Southern Expeditionary Army, if you can't fight again, then you will have lost all your efforts." ”

Hou Dashan couldn't care about his face at this time, he said a little shamelessly: "Anyway, I'm just a bunch of them, and I'm not afraid of being embarrassed." Shameful words are thrown on the faces of the Chinese, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about. I'll do it again! One more shot. ”

Hou Dashan asked the gunner to load the shells, and squad leader Li helped him adjust the shooting of Zhu Yuan. This time, Hou Dashan didn't even want a telescope, he simply looked at the target again, and shouted loudly: "Direction, 11:39, altitude 44 degrees 2." Prepare - Put. ”

The gunner pulled the rope sharply, and a black projectile flew out again.

With a "boom-" sound, the shell exploded again in the 10-meter bull's-eye circle, and because the circle was too small, the huge earth covered the lime in the 10-meter circle one by one, and then set off a thick cloud of smoke that rushed into the sky.

The audience burst into applause.

Liu Zhiyuan suddenly picked up Hou Dashan, hugged him three times in a row, and said excitedly: "Commander Hou, you are really good, you really give us a face for the Southern Expeditionary Army." ”

Even Han Xing, who has always been steady, couldn't help it, and came over to pat Hou Dashan on the shoulder and praised: "It's really not a loss to be the commander of the artillery regiment." Masters! Masters! I just learned how good you are today! ”

Squad Leader Li is really convinced now, the last shot was blinded, if you want to say that this cannon is also blind, the ghost doesn't believe it. He lowered his head, walked up to Hou Dashan, arched his hand at him and said, "Captain Hou, can you accept me as an apprentice!" ”

Others are even more insensitive, they want to worship Squad Leader Li as a teacher, and Squad Leader Li is still unwilling to accept these apprentices. Now squad leader Li recognizes Captain Hou as a teacher, and he is at best the position of an apprentice grandson, and some of them can't even be apprentices?

The artillerymen flocked to Hou Dashan one after another, praised Hou Dashan and said, "Commander Hou, you fought well!" "Captain Hou, the magic cannon!" "Head Hou, it's amazing, can you accept an apprentice!"

At this time, Wang Dawu also walked up to Hou Dashan embarrassedly and said: "Commander Hou, it seems that my Wang character can only be written backwards." ”

Hou Dashan said: "Your king character, is it still a king character when you write it upside down?" If I write this character backwards, it will be troublesome. ”

This sentence caused all the artillery fighters to burst into laughter. Of course, the distance has been shortened a lot.

Han Xing suddenly discovered a problem and asked Liu Duoquan, but in fact, he also said to Wang Dawu: "The cannon is a good cannon, and the skills of the officers and soldiers are also very good." If the enemy air attack comes, what is the defense method? ”

Liu Duoquan didn't speak, but Wang Dawu said with some whining: "I have already reflected this problem." There are no anti-aircraft machine guns, there are no anti-aircraft guns, and if the planes of the little devils come, there is really no way. ”

At this time, Liu Duoquan sighed helplessly and said: "This problem has long been known from above, but there is no way, there are really no anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, so there is no way to equip our troops." ”

Han Xing's heart fell into deep sorrow, the Japanese air raid, this is a commonly used tactic, no matter how powerful your howitzer regiment is, no matter how good the technology is, the devil's plane is coming, it will destroy your artillery regiment, no matter how sophisticated the howitzer is, what is the use!

Han Xing asked again: "If the Japanese army uses poison gas, how will you defend it?" ”

Wang Dawu shouted again: "Little Japan still uses poison gas, I don't believe they dare to use poison gas?" ”

But Liu Duoquan said: "The little devil is still far away!" Besides, there is no such equipment on it, so we can only use our earthen equipment. We don't know exactly what the effect of these earthen equipment is! ”

Han Xing was a little anxious, and said loudly to them: "It is not uncommon for the Japanese army to use poison gas. If they do use poison gas at this point, they have to be protected. Even if it's soil equipment, it's better than nothing! ”

Liu Duoquan said to Wang Dawu: "Commander Wang, Commander Han is right, you can prepare some soil equipment!" Don't rush around when the time comes. ”

Wang Dawu said without a match: "Okay, I'll prepare, tell each class to prepare a bucket of water, and then everyone to prepare a towel." ”

Han Xing fell into deep sorrow again, people say that if you eat a trench, you will grow wise, why don't older people change it! War is not only about fighting bravery, but also about fighting wit, one thing drops one thing, brine points tofu, it is said that you should understand this truth!

Han Xing can only say this is what he should say. As for whether they listen or not, that is his understanding.

Liu Duoquan led Han Xing to visit several infantry positions. Han Xing saw that basically the 49th Army was putting a long line and setting up a long formation, and the awareness of anti-poison was generally poor. Counting on such a position to block the devil's mechanized troops from attacking the key points, Han Xing shook his head, it was impossible.

After returning to Nanguan in Fengxin County, Han Xing set up his headquarters here and gave an order, except for the tank troops swimming forward, each tank left two people (one is the driver and the other is the gunner), and all the other troops of the Southern Expeditionary Army immediately drove to Nanguan in Fengxin County.

At Nanguan in Fengxin County, the Zhuxian Column opened a cordon and began to build barracks. Not only has a cordon been opened in Nanguan, but a long cordon has also been set up in the north of the Luhe Bridge, prohibiting all vehicles and pedestrians from passing, pedestrians and merchants, all the way around.

At the urging of Liu Duoquan, the local government of Fengxin County also seemed to be very cooperative, and from time to time building materials were sent to Nanguan.

These barracks were built during the day and dismantled at night, and the dismantled materials were quietly transported to the north of the Luan River.

The real work was in the underground bunker of the construction tank. These bunkers are built with lanes, so that the tanks can go down smoothly and easily drive up. The person in charge of each bunker project is the commander of the tank, and the project is under your command, if the tank can't drive, that's your responsibility.

It is just made of building materials to build a ceiling, and then sprinkled with loess, which is not visible at all from a high altitude.

Although the cordon was raised, there were still some ordinary people watching in the distance.

Han Xing was also observing these ordinary people, and he said to Liu Zhiyuan next to him: "Commander Liu, tell me, which are the ordinary people, which are the Japanese secret agents, can you see it?" ”

Liu Zhiyuan observed it carefully, and said to Han Xing: "Commander Han, they are wearing the same clothes, and their manners are similar, I really can't see it. ”

Coincidentally, Pan Xiaoan was also beside him. Han Xing asked Pan Xiao'an: "Captain Pan, can you see it?" ”

Pan Xiaoan took a closer look and said, "There are a few of them, but I'm not sure yet." I'll take a few people up and tease them, and when I ask, everything will be clear. ”

Han Xing shook his head and said, "Don't alarm them yet, just call them our mouthpiece!" ”

Pan Xiaoan was a little puzzled, and asked: "How can I see the reason why the spies don't arrest them, I arrested them, and everything will be clear in the first trial." ”

Han Xing still shook his head and said, "When they go back and report, they are even more intelligent than our words." ”

Pan Xiaoan understood and stopped talking.

Liu Zhiyuan still didn't understand, so he asked Pan Xiaoan: "Why can't I see it, they are Japanese spies, how can you see it?" ”

"That's right," Pan explained, "there is a difference between soldiers and ordinary people, even if they wear the same clothes." First, after a long period of training, soldiers walk differently than ordinary people. Second, some of the soldiers' eyes are alert, and some are calm. Anyway, it's a little different from the common people, and the eyes of the common people are generally confused, some are astigmatism, you can't figure out where he is looking, and then there is frankness, what he thinks in his heart, you can see it if you hate it. As long as it is a Japanese agent, they can be interrogated if they are caught and interrogated, and no matter how smart they are, they can't have all the Chinese some folk knowledge......"

Hearing this, Liu Zhiyuan couldn't stop nodding: "I can't complain that I am engaged in intelligence, but there is a set of wow!" ”

Pan Xiaoan also touted Liu Zhiyuan: "If you lead the troops to fight, I will be inferior to you." ”

In the past few days, news from the front has been coming constantly.

At 16:30 on March 20, the Japanese 11th Army ordered the commander of the 6th Artillery Brigade to command all artillery to fire fiercely at the positions of the 49th Army and the 79th Army of the defenders on the south bank of Xiushui, and carried out a rapid artillery attack before the start of the general attack, which lasted for more than 3 hours, which was mixed with a large number of poison shells.

The defenders' positions were destroyed in many places, and many officers and soldiers under the commander of the 76th Division, Wang Lingyun, were poisoned. At 19:30, the 106th Division began to force the crossing of Xiushui from Qiujin.

On the evening of the 20th, the 101st Division also began to cross the river from the north of Tujiabu. The two divisions of the Japanese army broke through the front line of the defenders, attacked continuously at night, and occupied a beachhead 2 kilometers deep at dawn on the 21st, covering their sappers to erect pontoon bridges.
