Niu Wa wrapped her gun in her arms and wiped it with a dusty rag to polish the body of the gun.

He held the gun and said, "Xia Yuan, do you know what this gun is called?" ”

Xia Yuan glanced at the gun in Niu Wa's arms, this gun is a firearm handed down from the Qing Dynasty, equipped to the end of the Anti-Japanese War, it has a local name, called Hanyang, the prototype of Hanyang is the German 1888 Committee Rifle, at that time there were huge problems with this gun, it was difficult to reload and reload, the reliability of the shell was poor, and it was easy to explode, etc., in 1898, the German military used the Mauser 1898 rifle to replace it. The rifle was then resold to Turkey, some African countries and the Qing government in China.

During the Westernization Movement, the Westernists believed in the "Mauser" brand very much, and German businessmen falsely called the 1888 Committee Rifle as a Mauser rifle, successfully deceiving the Qing government, and sold the 1888 Committee Rifle as a Mauser rifle to the Qing government. Beginning in 1896, the Hanyang Arsenal began to produce this type of rifle, and in 1899, the Namgang Manufacturing Bureau also began to produce this type of rifle.

Since then, the Model 1888 rifle has also been called Hanyang-made.

And the Hanyang in Niu Wa's arms has been made for some years, and it has been taken care of by Niu Wa as a baby, but the accuracy is average, and the range is not as far as imagined, most of them are eliminated, and there are huge problems.

It's also such garbage equipment that others don't want, but it is kept like a treasure by the guerrillas, and it almost never leaves it. It is still very difficult for the guerrillas in this period, there are no decent weapons, most of them are made in the border area and old sleeves, and the only good weapon is the eliminated Hanyang made in the hands of Niu Wa,

Chuanbao waist other pistols are folk imitation Mauser pistols, the same is made in the border area, a foldable pistol, most of them are based on the blacksmiths with their hands, some add an old barrel, most of them are not even rifled, smoothbore, can only be loaded with one bullet at a time, the workmanship is extremely rough, the tolerance is very large, often can not be hit, the accuracy is even more outrageous, twenty meters away from the aim where is not big, often aiming the head can hit the foot, the range is short, the power is small, the single cost is low, the bullet is good to supplement, and some can be directly loaded with black powder.

Because of its low cost and simple production, some non-front-line guerrilla leaders almost had one handful, and a little black powder could be used as a bullet.

As for the heavy firepower equipment, not to mention some guerrillas with better conditions, even the only heavy firepower equipment of the main comrades in the border areas was also crooked handles captured from the Japanese devils, and there was no need to think about artillery or anything. The heavy firepower equipment of Gaojiazhuang is a land mine made by the villagers spontaneously, making a shell and stuffing some black powder, and a mine that is not very powerful is made.

It was under such difficult conditions that the guerrillas, relying on the wisdom of the masses, fought with the puppet army.

"Brother Niu Wa, I know this gun, it was made in Hanyang." Xia Yuan pointed to the gun and said.

"By the way, this is made in Hanyang, there are only four in our village, one for me, one for Brother Chuanbao, one for your dog brother, and one for Brother Dabao." Niu Wa held the gun and said: "I'll tell you how to pull the bolt, how to shoot, oh, here is the bolt, pull and crutch, this will be opened, put the bullet in, and then push it, and pull the trigger after aiming." ”

He handed the gun to Xia Yuan and said, "You can try it." ”

Xia Yuan didn't dislike it, he reached out and took it, and touched the gun that was wiped clean, for Niu Wa, the gun is their life, even if this gun is not good, there are many problems with this gun, but they still value the gun more than their own lives.

Because it is such a backward weapon, it may have been exchanged for more than a dozen soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who paid their lives.

Touching this kind of antique-level weapon, Xia Yuan sighed a little, the Red Army used such a rudimentary weapon to fight the world.

Niu Wa said on the side: "When you fight the devil and seize the devil's gun, you will also have your own gun, the gun is life, life is the gun, even if the person is gone, the gun must be there!" ”

Xia Yuan nodded and said, "Brother Niu Wa, don't worry, the people are in the gun!" The people are gone, and the guns are there! ”

He once heard the saying that when people are in the guns, people are killed and shots are killed, which means that the guns are in place when the people are gone, and when the people are gone, the guns must be destroyed, which is to prevent them from being captured by the enemy, but at this time, there is no such rule, after all, at this time, the guerrillas and militia are extremely short of weapons and equipment, and the guns far exceed their lives.

The most important point is that many of them have no weapons and equipment, and if the person in front of them dies, the people behind can pick up the weapons and equipment left behind by the person in front of them after death and continue to fight, never having the idea of destroying the gun when they die to prevent the enemy from capturing it.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuan felt quite sad, and he also strengthened the idea in his heart.

"Brother Niuwa, I will." Xia Yuan simply tried a few times, and then in the shocked gaze of Niu Wa, he pulled the bolt and loaded it with great skill, and his movements changed from stiff to smooth, and Niu Wa was shocked when he saw it.

"You've touched a gun before?"

"Nope."

"It's going to be so fast, I'm not as skilled as you." Niu Wa was still a little unbelievable, Xia Yuan had only been touching the gun for a long time, and he just told him how to do it, he tried a few times, and he was able to pull it so skillfully, even smoothly, without the slightest lag in his movements, he was far more skilled than these old soldiers.

"Probably, it's talent."

Xia Yuan touched his head with a hint of embarrassment.

"Talent, talent." Niu Wa coughed lightly, and said: "Pulling the bolt is only one of them, the most important thing is to hit accurately, and if you can't hit accurately, it's a waste of bullets, so being skilled in action is secondary, you just need to remember how to pull the bolt, how to load, and how to shoot." ”

Xia Yuan nodded heavily, "Brother Niu Wa, don't worry, I will practice my gun well, and I will definitely kill more little devils when the time comes." ”

Niu Wa nodded with satisfaction, muttering in her heart, talent, is her talent very poor? He began to doubt life a little, thinking that it would take a certain amount of time for Xia Yuan to skillfully pull the bolt and shoot, but he didn't expect that he would be so proficient in speaking.

I was surprised and relieved at the same time, this kid is a material for shooting, and he began to look forward to it in his heart, if this kid shoots accurately, it will be good.

Of course, there are no bullets to use to shoot targets now, and ammunition is the most scarce and important problem in Gaojiazhuang, not to mention Gaojiazhuang, that is, the border areas are very short of bullets, and the vast majority of the bullets made in the border areas are supplied to the main combat forces, and there are very few that can be cut off for them.

At present, Gaojiazhuang has stored more than 80 bullets for a few months, and it is strictly guarded by the old village chief, and Niu Wa only carries three bullets on weekdays.

Niu Wa took the gun, took out a bullet from her arms and handed it to Xia Yuan, "This is a bullet, there are not many bullets in our village, there are only three bullets on my body, when the little devil comes, there will be more bullets, but it will not be too much, many bullets should be kept for later needs." ”

Niu Wa held the gun, sat on the ridge with a butt, and said: "Don't say it's our village, it's the entire border area, weapons and ammunition are very lacking, there are more than 40 militia people in our village, only four guns, and the others use long guns, don't worry, when the gun is captured, the gun will be given priority to you, if there is a eliminated gun, it would be better, and it can still be used." ”

Xia Yuan's heart was full of feelings, and he said: "Brother Niu Wa, don't worry, I'm not in a hurry." Brother Niuwa, the bullet is for you. ”

Niu Wa patted Xia Yuan's shoulder, put the bullet he handed over in his arms, and said, "By the way, I see that you often exercise in the village, save some energy, and use it to fight little devils when the time comes." ”

Xia Yuan knew that people in this era were feudal, and many people had no knowledge, so they subconsciously thought that Xia Yuan's exercise like that would have no effect, and would only waste his strength in vain, so it was better to stay and fight the little devils.

Xia Yuan didn't explain much about this, just changed the topic and asked, "Brother Niu Wa, how much do you know about the devils in the Black Wind Mouth?" ”

"Black Wind Turret?" Niu Wa's hands on her knees couldn't help but clench, and said: "I know a lot, the black wind outlet is only eight miles away from us, and sometimes we can come three times a day, but during this time, the devil is carrying out a big sweep in other places, and I don't have time to care about this side." ”

Xia Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Niu Wa, have you ever thought about whether the devil will fight against a few villages near Gaojiazhuang if the devil is busy with the sweep over there. ”

Niu Wa said: "Definitely, isn't this the border area also having a meeting on this matter?" I guess we are discussing countermeasures, and this kind of thing is not something you and I can control. ”

Xia Yuan said again: "Brother Niu Wa, have you ever thought about taking advantage of the devil's sweep to sneak attack the devils in the Black Wind Outlet Turret." ”

Niu Wa's eyes widened.

Gao Chuanbao just heard Xia Yuan's words, and walked over and said: "Nonsense, this is an unauthorized action, but it will be criticized, in addition, we can't move the devils in the Black Wind Outlet Turret, that is to be sacrificed, the position of the Black Wind Outlet is condescending, you can't hit it, you can't attack it, three or five devils can guard an area, just a few guns in your hand." ”

Gao Chuanbao is a person who has fought, he knows the horror of the devil, sat on the ridge, and said: "The Black Wind Mouth Artillery Tower has been for several years, the guerrillas have not been beaten, and they can't be defeated at all, and if you go to harass the devils and kill the devil soldiers, the people of the nearby villages will suffer, the devil's revenge is particularly heavy, you can't mess around, you just joined the guerrillas, don't think about what to do, on the other hand, fighting devils is not as simple as you think." ”

It seemed that the previous words were too heavy, thinking of Xia Yuan's life experience, Gao Chuanbao's lips snorted, a little unbearable, sighed and said: "Xia Yuan, I know that you are eager for revenge, but if you want to pay attention to a process, this is the same as planting crops, without spring sowing, where can there be a rich autumn harvest, the Black Wind Outlet Turret has been standing in the Black Wind Outlet for several years, and the guerrillas have fought dozens of times, each time they have suffered heavy casualties, not to say that if you go to a sneak attack, you can succeed in a sneak attack." ”

Xia Yuan lowered his head, looking like he was receiving preaching, but he was also thinking in his heart and discussing countermeasures.

The fact that the guerrillas were mobilized to attack the turrets is in itself an untenable statement. On the one hand, whether it is the militia, the guerrillas, the armed forces, or the Eighth Route Army, they all emphasize the importance of discipline, which is also the three major disciplines in the future, the eight points of attention, and various policies.

Not to mention that he just joined the guerrillas, even if he is the guerrilla leader, he can't say that he will act as an action, saying that he will take the guerrillas from Gaojiazhuang to attack the artillery tower of Heifengkou, and he will take the guerrillas to attack the artillery tower of Heifengkou, and there are village chiefs, sub-district heads, the Eighth Route Army, and so on above the guerrillas.

Moreover, every action requires the coordination and cooperation of all parties.

For example, in the bright sword, Li Yunlong acted without authorization to fight the little devils, and the brigade commander knew that it was too late for Li Yunlong to act without authorization, so on the one hand, he ordered to wait for the battle to end, so that Li Yunlong could come to see him, and on the other hand, he summoned various troops to block the Japanese devils who were trying to increase the number of troops in their respective jurisdictions.

The most important point is that the devils who have suffered losses will vent their anger on the people of nearby villages, arrange for the people in enemy-occupied areas to be transferred, and so on, all aspects need to be coordinated and coordinated.

Especially in the current situation in Gaojiazhuang, Gaojiazhuang is not the only village fighting with the Japanese devils, and if he acts without authorization, he will soon be retaliated by the devils. Therefore, any premise based on the action plan against the devils needs to be coordinated and coordinated with each other, with each sub-division, each detachment, and each squad cooperating with each other, with you attacking the main attack and me flanking, you cutting off the devil's retreat, I cutting off the devil's reinforcement, you destroying the road, I moving the masses, and all the sub-districts in the entire region cooperating with each other and acting in an orderly manner.

It's not like you can act if you want to.

Xia Yuan knew that the devils of the Heifengkou Turret could not be moved for the time being, and it was estimated that he would not be able to finish off the devils of the Heifengkou Turret until the stage of the major counteroffensive, and one thing was also very right, he was only a strong person, he could kill the devils and retreat cleanly, the militia may not be, the guerrillas may not, and the common people may not.

The most critical point is that it is difficult for four guns with low accuracy to form a large-scale combat effectiveness.

"The devils are fierce, the puppet army is ruthless, we must find an opportunity to wipe them out, otherwise the wind of this spring will blow them up again, and the grass will be cut to the roots."

Gao Chuanbao knows big characters and understands big truths, and when he talks about it, he said: "Comrade Xia Yuan, revenge can't be in a hurry, if something happens to you, who will avenge Xia Zhuang?" Kill one or two devils and puppet soldiers, and if you want to kill, kill them all! ”

Niu Wa also found an opportunity and said: "Brother Chuanbao is right, cut the grass to get rid of the roots, otherwise, the people nearby will suffer, Xia Yuan, revenge is not in a hurry, guess you just learned how to pull the bolt, and in the future, I will teach you how to hit the enemy, practice the gun well, the devil can't run away!" ”

Xia Yuan nodded on the surface, but actually had a new idea in his heart.
