Chapter 3 Aggrieved, Huangkou Town Gathering
Although Yang Tianfeng tried to find time to teach these future snipers himself, he was a master of theory, and as a commander, he always had to take care of other things. The booklet "Sniper Essentials" was printed and distributed to the soldiers, and as for personal guidance, sometimes it was just a few words, and the rest of the time they relied on their own pondering and consciously practicing.
Wu Jinsuo stood there, looking enviously at the gun in Hu Keping's hand. Fishing with a rod, catching birds with a sieve, no good guy, can't stop people! Look at the people, she is still a woman, but she is holding a black and shiny fast gun, holding it in her hand and carrying it on her shoulder, and she is so angry.
"Eldest sister, your gun is different from someone else's!" Wu Jinsuo laughed and accosted.
Hu Keping snorted, too lazy to explain, and said casually: "You don't understand, let's carry your earthen gun and fight rabbits!" ”
Wu Jinsuo was choked and swallowed saliva, very unhappy in his heart, and said, "What's wrong with the earth gun?" I didn't fight less rabbits on weekdays, but the bandits killed two a few days ago. ”
Hu Keping was stunned for a moment, when it came to killing, she really couldn't compare to Wu Jinsuo, she had the heart to blow a few words, but she couldn't open her mouth.
Wu Jinsuo saw that Hu Keping didn't speak, and didn't seem to take his record in his eyes, and felt that it was really embarrassing to show off to others and play a big knife in front of the door. The kid scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time, and said a little sarcastically: "Sister, I have peanuts in my pocket, do you want to eat them?" ”
Hu Keping gently put down the gun, his arm was sore, and he had reached the limit. She sat on the stone pier next to her, looked up at this strange and interesting boy, and thought it was funny.
Wu Jinsuo took off the towel on his head, took out a few handfuls of peanuts from his pocket, wrapped them, and walked over hesitantly and sent them to Hu Keping.
Hu Keping hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand to take it, and hurriedly said, "Go, go, stand over there." ”
Wu Jinsuo was very happy when he saw Hu Keping accept the peanuts, and he didn't care when he was reprimanded, and walked back obediently.
Well, this peanut is fried very fragrant, Hu Keping opened the shell, tasted one, and couldn't stop.
"Eldest sister, are you still recruiting?" Wu Jinsuo was stunned for a while and asked cautiously.
"Move, huh?" Hu Keping said vaguely: "But we don't want to eat together, we must dare to work hard, and we are not afraid of death." ”
Oh, Wu Jinsuo scratched his head, these two are actually the same thing, and it is not difficult for him, but he still wants to ask again.
"Bad seeds, afraid of dead ghosts!" Seeing Wu Jinsuo hesitate, Hu Keping scolded disdainfully, and spit out peanut shells at Wu Jinsuo.
"No, I'm not afraid of death." Wu Jinsuo was looked down upon by a woman, and the man's self-esteem was greatly hurt, and he hurriedly defended: "A good man is not a soldier, a good iron is not a nail, what kind of army are you, I have to ask clearly!" ”
At this time, Zhao Yurou, who came to change shifts, walked out. Although she is still the nominal third young grandmother, but when Mrs. Yang died, Yang Tianfeng didn't care much about her, and she became free. This time, she had to follow.
Hu Keping said a few words briefly, and went into the hospital to rest with a gun on his back. Walking to the door, he glanced back at Wu Jinsuo, and his gaze was so light, piercing Wu Jinsuo's heart like a knife. Seeing Hu Keping enter the hospital, the more anxious he became, the more speechless he became, and he was so anxious that his face was red and his neck was thick.
Obviously, Hu Keping didn't say anything good about him, although Zhao Yurou didn't speak ill of him, but her attitude was not very good, and she said lightly to Wu Jinsuo: "You go back to rest, by the way, thank you for the kindness of Master Wu, we can protect ourselves." ”
Wu Jinsuo was so aggrieved, he stood stunned for a while, stomped his feet, turned around and ran.
………………
Every two rows of seven, it is the big market day of Huangkou Town. As soon as breakfast is over, the people of the villages around the town come to the market one after another, and the town of Huangkou on this day is particularly lively, with crowds coming and going, and all the shops are open.
The Zhang family in the town has been the town's first-class family for decades, and the family has hundreds of people in the nursing home alone, equipped with Hanyang-made, and a few small hand cannons, all of which were bought from outside at a high price. When the Japanese devils entered the county seat, the Zhang family advocated that Guangzong be the representative of the local gentry, and several wealthy merchants and landlords in the city greeted him with plaster flags. The devil let these people form a maintenance association, and Zhang Guangzong was appointed to the position of chairman and mayor of the town.
With the devil's letter of appointment, Zhang Guangzong immediately took action after returning to Huangkou Town. His son Zhang Yaozu became the captain of the Imperial Association Army in the town, and the guards became soldiers of the Imperial Cooperation Army. That's not all, he also strictly ordered the landlords and wealthy households in the nearby villages and villages to take out the buried guns. Some wealthy families were reluctant to use guns, so they let their children carry them on their backs and join the Imperial Army. As a result, in this hastily formed team, there were many soldiers who "came out with the guns".
Zhang Yaozu is a second ancestor, although he majored in law at Chaoyang University in Beiping, but in the first year, he did not study well, but began to practice the style of officialdom: robes and horse coats, stockings and satin shoes, playing cards in the dormitory, and calling Sister Yao in the apartment.
When it came to graduation, the Japanese had to inch in, and the air in Peking became more and more tense, and he was so scared that he ran home to hide. Now, Zhang Yaozu has become the captain, but he has no interest in military training such as drills and running, and he has handed them over to Yu Kuoshan, the original head of the nursing home of the Zhang family. As for him, with a pistol on his back, he only scares people or boasts about his goodness.
Today is the big gathering, or the day of the Imperial Association military academy in the town. In order to check the results of the recent exercises, sum up the lessons and lessons of the recent work, further promote the development of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and by the way, show the military might in front of the common people of ten miles and eight townships, and play a deterrent role, Zhang Guangzong decided to hold a large-scale school review, which also became a major event in the area of Huangkou Town.
The parade ground is located in the square in front of the Guandi Temple in the center of the town, which has also become a center of gathering for people.
This Guandi temple is the oldest temple in the town, which is said to have been built in the Northern Song Dynasty, with magnificent regulations and extraordinary style. Later, it was used as a mansion, and some halls, wings and ancillary facilities were expanded, forming a complete building complex. After the establishment of the Imperial Cooperative Army, the regimental headquarters was set up here, the wall was heightened and reinforced, and the lookout and firepower points were built, which became a fortress.
The sun rises higher and higher, people pour to the square from all directions, and several groups of folk musicians in the tent take turns to blow and play, which sets off the atmosphere even more prosperous.
On the south side of the square, a review stand has been erected in the place facing the Guandi Temple, and flags are planted on both sides of the platform, hunting and exhibiting in the wind. There are also two tents on both sides of the review stand, which are used to receive stewards and guests from various villages. The Imperial Association Army participating in the review was assembling in the square and making various preparations.
