Chapter Twenty-Three: The Old Monkey Who Climbs Down the Pole

Li Xiao is relieved, and the most difficult problem is heating.

However, the tin stove is expected to solve some problems, and although it is also heavy, a stout young man can still carry it.

It's just that this thing only works at night.

During the day, the main way to heat is by basking in the sun.

Hitler couldn't help the ghost weather in Russia, and Li Xiao also couldn't do anything.

"Marshal, our company commander ......!"

"I know about your company commander, tell me about the cannon you saw." Li Xiao finally brought the topic to the mysterious cannon.

"That kind of cannon is very small, about two and a half meters long.

It was very short, almost half a meter tall.

The distance is about two thousand meters. Ding San recalled as he described to Li Xiao the kind of cannon he saw.

"How do you see so clearly?" Li Xiao asked Ding San with interest.

"I was on the third floor of the boiler room at the time, and there happened to be a flare from our army exploding in that area, and I saw it clearly.

Although the time was short, I was able to see clearly.

Later, I saw the cannon shoot at us by name. ”

"Just one?"

"There should be several, but I only see one."

"Can you draw the cannon you see?"

"Yes!"

Soon, Ding San drew the artillery he saw.

Ding San's painting style is very abstract, but Li Xiao can still see at a glance that this is the Type 92 infantry gun.

No wonder you beat yourself so badly!

This thing went to the cannon shield, and the height was only about half a meter. A small bush can be easily hidden.

The length is only about three meters, and the weight is about 200 kilograms.

After dismantling, several soldiers carried them on their backs, and there was no need for anything to tow them.

The things that the Japanese army concocted back then caused great damage to the Chinese army. Because of its low appearance, it is difficult to spot, and it is often blown up and you don't know where the cannon is.

Therefore, the Chinese army gave this artillery the nickname "ghost cannon".

Li Xiao also thought about equipping the Ming army with this thing.

The drawings were all drawn, but it felt that this thing coincided with the role of the company's mortar.

Moreover, the battalion-level units of the Ming army also had six 105-mm howitzers.

There is no need for infantry guns with such a repetition of functions!

But I didn't expect that I didn't use it at the beginning, but now it is sacrificed by Napoleon.

It has become a big killer weapon for the French!

The biggest advantage of this kind of artillery, which is not good for direct and curved fire, is that it is small.

The kind drawn by Ding San is obviously a version of removing the cannon shield.

With this version, the weight is further reduced. The height of the gun has also been further reduced!

But there is also a side effect, that is, the protection of infantry guns is reduced.

In particular, the defense against shrapnel essentially became zero.

That is, once such an infantry gun is discovered, its destruction is not a difficult problem.

But the question is, how to find out.

One of the characteristics of infantry guns is that they are low and highly concealed.

Even at night, it is not easy to spot the muzzle fire because of its low profile and the distance of more than two kilometers.

"Marshal, our company commander ......!"

"Do you know the crime of giving up the position without permission?" Li Xiao looked at Ding San with a cold face.

"But you ......!" Ding San was frightened enough by Li Xiao's change of face, but he still stammered and argued.

"If every company commander abandons his position without an order. Tell me, then, what has become of our troops?

How can this battle be fought? ”

“……!” Ding San had nothing to say.

"But our company commander is a good man, and without him, we would be finished." After hesitating for a moment, Ding San still mustered up the courage to save the old monkey's life.

"Alright!

As a handsome, I can't talk and don't count, so he is allowed to make meritorious contributions.

And I will also give you a great grace, the battalion and company commanders who are in custody will be released, and they will also be allowed to bear the guilt and make meritorious contributions. ”

Ding San was a little dazed, and Li Xiao's face was a little hot.

There's no way to do it, just find an excuse to get off the donkey.

Those battalion and company commanders don't look like they are not big officers, but Li Xiao knows that they are the cornerstone of the army.

In the past, the Ming army did not abandon its position on such a large scale, and this time it can be attributed to being defeated.

In the past, this situation was all about Da Ming beating others. But I didn't expect that it would be used on Daming's body today.

The officers and men were not very comfortable for a while.

Only a commander with a bad brain would shoot dozens of battalion and company commanders with rich combat experience at such a critical time.

"Thank you......! Xie Dashuai. Ding San was stunned, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence.

"Alright, you can go back.

If nothing else, your company commander will be able to return to the company tomorrow. ”

Li Xiao smiled and patted Ding San's shoulder and shook hands with Ding San enthusiastically.

When the old monkey was caught, he thought he was dead.

Abandoning the position without permission is a proper capital offense.

In the Ming army, few people dared to commit this crime. Because this is a red line, no one has ever been charged with this crime and can escape a knife in the neck.

However, when he saw that the Judge Advocate General's Office had imprisoned a large number of battalion and company commanders, the old monkey's heart blossomed.

It's not just their own companies that have been defeated, these guys have all been caught on the same charge as themselves.

I will die alone, but the saying that the law does not blame the public is also very reasonable.

When a group of people make a mistake, especially a group of useful people, it is basically not punished.

was mentioned in front of Li Xiao, and the old monkey knew that his life was probably saved.

"I've seen the big handsome!" The old monkey walked up to Li Xiao and stood up and saluted.

The waist board is straight, and he has the temperament of an iron-blooded soldier.

"You're ......! Have I seen you somewhere? Li Xiao felt that the company commander in front of him was very familiar.

I'm sure I've seen this person somewhere, but I can't remember it for a moment.

Li Xiao has thousands of company commanders under him, and there are not many who can leave an impression on him.

"If you go back to the marshal, you listened to the errand under Staff Officer Li Lin Li before you were humble."

"Oh!"

Li Xiao remembered that it was the one who took Li Lin to hunt in the Grozny mountains and forests and capture Simon Haye.

"Why did you run to the front line?"

"If you go back to the big handsome, the brothers want to use the guys in their hands to fight for the future."

"Oh, that's good. Then he privately abandoned his position and fought into the Judge Advocate General's Office.

I'll put a tick on this piece of paper, and your life will be over.

Tell me, if there is anything else you want to stay, and to someone, I will definitely help you bring it. ”

Li Xiao casually threw over a folder.

"Back to the words of the marshal, I have violated the military order, and the old monkey has nothing to say. But in doing so, I also followed the teachings of the great marshal. ”

"What......?

I said old monkey, if you don't understand it, you'll die. ”

Li Xiao was almost angry, this thing is climbing along the pole, could it be that Lao Tzu instigated you?

The old monkey's pupils shrank, and he couldn't die.

"Back to the words of the handsome!

The marshal once taught Li Lin's staff officers that if the land is lost, the people and the land will be lost; Save people and lose land, and everyone and land will be gained!

At that time, the humble post stood beside Li Lin's staff officer.

When I fought that night, I knew that I couldn't win this battle.

If they hold on, their brothers will die, and the positions will still be occupied by the French.

The difference is only two hours earlier and two hours later.

Rather than exhausting troops for those hours or two, it is better to evacuate on your own initiative.

After accumulating strength, the humble position can also take his brothers and recapture the position. ”

"Huh! You have been beaten to the point that you have lost your armor, and you still have the confidence to take back your position? Li Xiao looked at the old monkey angrily.

The nickname of this thing is really not wrong, and the ability to climb along the pole is unmatched. It's just that I don't know if this thing's ability to fight a war is also so able to climb the pole.

Whether it is an old monkey or Sun Dasheng, you have to see it on the battlefield.

"If you go back to the marshal, the lowly position has already found a way to fight that kind of ghost cannon." When the old monkey spoke, his chest was very high, and he looked full of confidence.

"Ghost cannon? This name is good, let's talk about how to fight ghost cannons? Li Xiao looked at the old monkey with interest.
