Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 115 Chapter 114, Arrival at Hutou Mountain

The next day, in the Liang family compound, Zhao Danian and a group of guerrillas looked at Li Yuexuan with curiosity as he carefully walked in from outside holding an enamel basin.

Seeing Li Yuexuan's cautious look, everyone was curious about what was in his basin. Then they saw that there were small paper bags inside, with bulging fat heads and small tails, just like tadpoles.

"What is this? What's its use? Peregrine Falcon, are you holding a bomb?" Seeing Li Yuexuan being so careful, Lowe asked.

"Watch carefully..." Li Yuexuan took a small paper bag and threw it directly on the ground. Then there was a loud bang and the small paper bag disappeared without a trace.

"This... isn't this just the firecrackers we play with during the New Year? What's its use? Can it kill the Japanese?" Lowe asked because he didn't understand.

"This won't kill the Japanese! But what if we put this inside the bamboo tube of a bullet mine to replace the bullet? This time we'll use it the other way around. We won't use nails or bullets in the bamboo tube. We'll just put a small package like this inside. Then put a round wooden stick on the pedal and insert the stick into the bamboo tube. With a step on it, the paper bag underneath will explode!" Li Yuexuan gestured.

"That won't kill the Japanese, right?" Lowe still didn't understand.

"Yes, its equivalent is too small to kill the Japanese! But what if we wrap a kilogram of black powder around the bamboo tube? And what if we add a layer of iron sand on the outside of the black powder? If the black powder fails to kill the Japanese, what if the iron sand flies out?" As Li Yuexuan spoke, he took out a can and gestured: "Put the bamboo tube inside, and the box is full of black powder. Bang..."

"However, there is another detail, which is that a circle of round holes needs to be opened at the bottom of the bamboo tube so that the flames from the paper bag exploding can spread out and ignite the black gunpowder. Well, this is the simplest and cheapest earth mine I can think of. The only drawback is that if it is not operated properly, it will blow itself up." Li Yuexuan said.

"It is indeed a bit dangerous! Your sensitivity is much higher than that of bullets! However, we are willing to sacrifice our lives to fight the Japanese, so why are we worried about this little danger? If you are afraid of danger, you might as well become obedient subjects of the Japanese and let them kill you at will. Why would you still be guerrillas? Right, comrades?" Zhao Danian shouted.

"Yes, the captain is right!" the comrades around shouted together.

"Well, let's prepare, just as I said, let's prepare 10 such land mines." Seeing that no one had any objections, Li Yuexuan decisively led everyone to make 10 land mines. In order to speed up the progress, Zhang Lu and his team also personally made some wooden boxes as the filling shells of black gunpowder, which were also the shells of the land mines.

It is easier to get things done with more people. Ten wooden boxes were made, and the bamboo tubes and wooden stick pressure plates that served as detonating fuses were also made. It only took two hours.

When the preparations were almost done, Zhao Danian and Xing Weiguo also discussed the team that would stay in Liangjia Village. As the core of the base, Liangjia Village had to be guarded, so this task was handed over to the comrades of the first squad who had just made a trip.

Of course, because Bai Dabao needed to move with the main force, the 1st squad machine gun team also followed the main force, so Captain Guo was very thoughtful and left an infantry squad to help guard the home.

After making preparations for departure, more than a hundred people carried bullet mines and land mines and left Liangjia Village, heading towards Hutou Mountain under the leadership of Hu Lanzhou.

Hutou Mountain, this name is familiar, right? That's because there are so many places called Hutou Mountain! Any mountain that looks like a tiger's head can be called Hutou Mountain. Just like any mountain that looks like a saddle can be called Ma'an Mountain. You mean Changbai Mountain? ? This has an allusion, it can't be called casually. When the team set out, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning. The three soldiers who returned from the vanguard squad led the way, followed by the second squad as the vanguard, and the rest of the team followed behind, quietly heading towards Hutou Mountain.

In order to eliminate this group of bandits as soon as possible and to obtain their equipment as soon as possible, everyone moved quickly, as if they had endless energy.

Why don't you recruit this group of bandits? ? Bandits are bandits. They have killed people, so it's better to beat them up! On this point, both Zhao Danian and Captain Guo have the same idea. Of course, if a bandit surrenders voluntarily at the end of the fight, it is not impossible to spare his life, but it needs to be reviewed.

The Eighth Route Army is not a bald man! What bandits, what puppet army? As long as you fight the Eighth Route Army, you will be given an empty rank! Didn't you see that later, even a mountain eagle could be given an officer? Therefore, a general who is full of food is really not worth much.

The team took 80 hours to walk 8 miles of the 60-mile mountain road. It was not because everyone's marching ability was poor, but because there were too many people and a sudden advance would be detected. Although Hu Lanzhou said that the bandits did not set up secret lines, what if they did? So when they were on the last 20 miles, they decisively gave up the march and waited until the evening to decide everything.

After dinner, we continued to march. Under the guidance of comrades who were familiar with the road, we took four hours to reach a place not far away. It was 20 o'clock in the evening.

"Captain..." In a valley one mile away from Hutou Mountain, Tian E and Tian Chuan, dressed as Taoist priests, appeared in front of Zhao Danian.

"Have the bandits made any moves in the past few days?" Zhao Danian asked.

"On the day the squad leader left, the bandits went out once and kidnapped a scholar! It was said that he was the son of Mr. Zhong from Zhongjia Village. The bandits demanded 3000 silver dollars and gave him seven days to do so. If he didn't pay, they would kill him! During these few days, the bandits did not go out in large numbers. Only the messenger ran back and forth." Tian E said.

"Well, this news is very important... Of course, it's not important to us. We just need to know that the bandits are in the mountains!" said Zhao Danian.

"Shouldn't we rescue this hostage?" Tian E asked.

"What does the meat ticket have to do with us? That's something the master should take care of! The Zhong family is also a big family in this generation, and they can still come up with 3000 oceans! Moreover, we can take this opportunity and have time to prepare!" Zhao Danian said somewhat coldly.

"Well... I think the captain is right! This Mr. Zhong is not a good person either. He has forced many people to death by paying his debts to the God of Hell! Although the young master of his Zhong family is a scholar, he has harmed many decent women. Even though he was torn to pieces by bandits, he was still trying to get rid of harm to the people!" said Tianchuan, who was born a local.

"That's right! We have no business dealing with bandits and landlord bullies! Besides, we can't handle it all!" Li Yuexuan has never been optimistic about bullies and wants to kill them all. If Zhong Shusheng is a good person, he can still find a way to rescue him.
