Lin Fei smiled and asked, "Do you think it's not like artillery?" What's wrong with it? ”

Zhao Menggang said: "I once went to the Spanish military camp and saw artillery from them, artillery, it should be mounted on a car, it has a long barrel, it is very large, and this artillery is too small. ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "Don't think that it can't kill people when it's small, this kind of artillery is called 'mortar', which is different from the howitzers you've seen." ”

Zhao Menggang said "oh", Lin Fei said with a smile: "The biggest advantage of this kind of cannon is that it is lightweight, the barrel and the bracket and other parts can be separated, and people can walk on their backs, the big guys of the Spaniards are too bulky, let's not say more, you go and see that mortar, I will teach you to operate it in the next few days." ”

Zhao Meng just walked up to the mortar and squatted down to look at it carefully, Lin Fei walked up to Ling Xue and asked, "According to our current production capacity, how much time does it take to build a batch of mortars?" ”

Mortars are made up of many parts, when they are manufactured, they are made first, and then these parts are assembled into artillery, and when they are manufactured, they cannot be manufactured one by one, they are all made at one time, and these are called "one batch", and one batch of parts can make five mortars.

Ling Xue said, "It's almost ten days. ”

Lin Fei asked again, "What about the cannonballs?" ”

Ling Xue said: "You can make thirty shells in one batch, and you can make one batch every two days. ”

Lin Fei thought to himself that with the current level of technology, this speed was already good, and when he set out on the expedition, he could be equipped with five mortars and hundreds of shells, which was more than enough to deal with the Spaniards.

Lin Fei nodded and said: "After making five mortars, there is no need to make the cannon body first, concentrate on the equipment to manufacture artillery shells, and find ways to increase the production speed of artillery shells." ”

Ling Xue agreed, Lin Fei walked up to Zhao Meng, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go back to the artillery company station." ”

Zhao Menggang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Didn't you say that you would teach me to use this type of mortar?" ”

Lin Fei laughed and said, "How can I teach you here?" You want to blow up the factory building? Lin Fei didn't explain much, and while instructing Ling Xue to organize people to send this mortar to the artillery company, he took Zhao Menggang to the artillery company.

Although the artillery company is said to be a "company," it has only 50 people, because compared with the infantry, artillery is a "high-tech branch," and there will certainly be fewer people. Lin Fei gathered everyone together and asked Zhao Menggang to divide the fifty people into five groups, organize them into five squads, operate one artillery gun in each squad, and take out a ballistic table for them, and then teach them how to use mortars.

Lin Fei said loudly: "Before the artillery is used the same as the rifle, the distance must be measured first, and the method of measuring the distance has been taught to you, so I won't talk about it much, after measuring the distance to the target, determine the angle of the barrel according to the ballistic table, and then remove the safety on the bullet body and put it in the barrel." ”

Lin Fei explained to everyone, and then asked Zhao Menggang to lead everyone to train, and he went to other places to inspect, such as the infantry barracks, logistics department, staff department, etc. Ten days later, at 7 a.m. on January 9, Lin Fei led his troops on a troop transport ship to Bazahai City in Mindanao.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Fei led the troops into Bazahai City, Chen Jingui had come to the city in advance, he found a good station for the troops, Lin Fei then let the troops rest, and then went to check the material reserves and transportation preparations of the General Logistics Department, and found that all kinds of materials had been prepared, Chen Jingui recruited a lot of local people as laborers, and borrowed a lot of trolleys, and the transportation problem was solved, so he was relieved.

Lin Fei praised Chen Jingui, Chen Jingui smiled and said, "I also found something better to give to you." ”

Lin Fei was taken aback and asked, "What is it?" ”

Chen Jingui smiled: "You will know if you come with me." As he spoke, he took Lin Fei to the Sultan's palace, and when Lin Fei heard the neighing of a horse, he couldn't help asking, "Did you get a horse?" ”

Chen Jingui said with a smile: "Of course, I found that the Sultan had more than forty war horses in his hands, so I brought them here with both soft and hard methods, and I know that you must need them very much." ”

Of course, Lin Fei needs horses very much, and with horses can greatly increase the speed of the troops' mobility, but the Philippines does not produce horses, so Lin Fei has not been able to find horses, and now Chen Jingui has brought horses, although there are only more than 40 horses, but one horse for the sniper team is enough, and the reconnaissance work will be much simpler in the future.

Lin Fei arranged the horse to the sniper team and let everyone practice riding, they are not cavalry, they don't need the skills to fight immediately, as long as they can ride and run, so they learn quickly.

After a few days, Lin Fei began to lead his troops to Wuduan City, Bazahai City is more than 100 kilometers away from Wuduan City, and there are difficult mountain roads in the middle, the troops walked for three days with the help of Bazahai Sultan, and only came to the wilderness more than 20 kilometers away from Wuduan City on the afternoon of January 12.

Lin Fei asked his subordinates to set up camp, and then took Zhang Chuang to Wuduan City to reconnoitre, Lin Fei also brought a Chinese businessman who often went in and out of Wuduan City, the Chinese businessman was named Xu Wenwu, who was in his forties today, and he looked ordinary and unobtrusive.

The three of them rode fast horses, rode their horses and galloped towards Wuduancheng, just walked for more than ten minutes, Lin Fei suddenly heard Xu Wenwu scream, he looked back, only to see Xu Wenwu actually fell off the horse, lying on the ground and not moving, the horse realized that there was no one on him, so he slowed down and paced leisurely.

Lin Fei's heart trembled suddenly, he knew that it was a very dangerous thing for people to fall from a horse running at high speed, and there were many people who were killed like this, he hurriedly reined in the horse, stepped down from the horse, came to Xu Wenwu in a few steps, and asked, "Old Xu, are you okay?" ”

Xu Wenwu snorted and was about to stand up, but Lin Fei hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't stand up yet, the injury may be aggravated if you stand suddenly, tell me where the pain is?" ”

Xu Wenwu shook his head and said, "No...... It's fine, it didn't break, I know. After speaking, he slowly stood up, Lin Fei was relieved when he saw that he was fine, and asked, "Didn't you say that you would ride a horse before you set off?" Why did you fall down all of a sudden? ”

At this time, Zhang Chuang also led the horse to the front and said, "Yes, what's wrong with you, Lao Xu?" ”

Xu Wenwu looked at Zhang Chuang, and then at Lin Fei, his eyes showed a sense of fear, pointed to the woods on the side, his voice trembled, and said, "There is a ...... there"

Lin Fei was shocked for a while, thinking to himself what was in the woods? Can he be scared like this? He followed his hand and looked into the woods, but he saw only verdant trees, and nothing else, and asked, "Isn't it the woods?" What is there to be afraid of in the woods? ”

Xu Wenwu shook his head and said, "No, it's not the woods, there are dead people in the woods, there are many, many dead people." ”

After Xu Wenwu said this, his face suddenly turned like ashes, Lin Fei was shocked, thinking that there were no people in this area, how could there be so many dead people in the woods?

Lin Fei asked Xu Wenwu: "Old Xu, this shouldn't be the funeral customs of the locals, right?" ”

Xu Wenwu shook his head again and again, and said: "There are mainly Filipinos, Spaniards and Chinese in Wuduan City, and these people are not willing to let their relatives and friends riot into the wilderness. ”

Lin Fei frowned, took off the rifle on his back, and said, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

Xu Wenwu hurriedly shook his head and said, "There are a lot of dead people, it's too scary, I won't go." ”

Lin Fei then said: "Okay, you watch the horse here, and Zhang Chuang and I will go over." ”

After Lin Fei finished speaking, he called Zhang Chuang, and the two walked towards the woods with guns, while Xu Wenwu led the two horses and walked far behind, far away from the forest where there were dead people.

Lin Fei and Zhang Chuang walked to a position more than 100 meters away from the woods, and they smelled a strong smell of corpses, both of them had been in battle for a long time, and they were used to this smell, and they didn't care, and when they walked to a position more than 30 meters away from the woods, they only heard the sound of "buzzing" in the woods, as if there was a muffled thunder.

Lin Fei secretly wanted to attract the sound of flies so loud, how many corpses must be in the woods, where did so many dead corpses come from?

Lin Fei thought about it and came to the edge of the woods, only to find that behind this forest was a large open space, the open space was densely packed with corpses, I can't count how many corpses, this one's head pressed that one's hand, that one's hand pressed the other's feet, and there were I don't know how many flies were lying on top of the corpse, Lin Fei and Zhang Chuang went over, frightened the flies, they flew up with a "boom", and gathered into a black cloud above the corpse.

Zhang Chuang looked at these corpses and couldn't bear it, lowered his head and retched, Lin Fei swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, suppressed the feeling of vomiting, and then squatted down and looked carefully at the top layer of corpses, only to find that these corpses were already decomposed, and it was difficult to see the cause of death from the surface, but judging from the clothes of the corpse, this corpse was a Chinese.

Lin Fei thought to himself, could it be that this is the people in Wuduan City slaughtering the Chinese? It was wrong again, because he also saw a dozen blonde and blue-eyed guys in the pile of corpses, and many of them were Filipinos.

At this time, Zhang Chuang had already finished retching, walked up to Lin Fei and asked, "How did these people die?" ”

Lin Fei shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know." ”

Zhang Chuang asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

Lin Fei said: "These corpses have little impact on us, let's ignore them and continue to go to Wuduan City to reconnoitre." ”

Zhang Chuang nodded, the two of them were just about to come out of the woods, when they suddenly heard a terrible cry from the direction of Wuduancheng, the cry was obviously made by many people, it was extremely miserable, and it made people tremble when they heard it, Lin Fei pointed in the direction where the cry came from, and said, "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

The two walked out of the woods and ambushed in the grass on the side of the road, only to see a few groups of people faintly coming over to the wasteland in the distance, and the cry was made by them, Lin Fei took out the binoculars and looked at it, and couldn't help but feel strange.
