Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 265 Chapter 264, Just a Small Encounter
Unfortunately, the mountain road leading into the village is a bit narrow, and there is a steep slope here on Mantou Mountain, so these trucks cannot drive into the village. Otherwise, these trucks would be of some use if they drove into the village! So, things are not as expected, what can we do?

"When we come back later, we'll dismantle the front of the truck and see if we can carry back a few engines or something! The engine can turn four wheels, so it should be able to carry our rifling machine, right? Anyway, it's a waste to keep the confiscated gasoline, so we might as well use it to work!" Li Yuexuan said as he looked at the dismantled truck.

"Platoon leader, what are we going to do with these engines when we bring them back? Truck wheels are very fast!" Tianchuan asked.

"How should I know how to use it? Anyway, as long as it turns, it can drive the transmission shaft to rotate, and the problem of power output transmission can be left to the technicians!" Li Yuexuan closed his eyes slightly after speaking, and then found several books on basic automotive knowledge in the group files, especially the technical information of the engine, thinking that this is also a good thing! Of course, this is not an urgent need at this time.

"If I can survive until after the Anti-Japanese War, it would be nice to work as a factory director in a car factory!" With this information in his head, Li Yuexuan felt that he still had a lot of career options in the future.

What? What do you mean by "Postpartum Care for Sows" in the group file? ? We need to train a group of veterinarians! For example, a very popular veterinarian, his ability is like a miracle doctor for animals! Well, after the base is stabilized, it seems that we can also expand the pig farming business!
Thinking of this, Li Yuexuan mourned for three seconds for the half-grown pig that died under the Japanese knife and finally went into the Japanese stomach with the added food. That was a good pig that made a contribution to the anti-Japanese cause!

After leaving the convoy, everyone continued to move forward. Even the signalman was walking on the side of the team, leading his horse, and he did not look in a hurry.

Perhaps because there was no fighting, the birds in the surrounding woods were chirping, the cicadas on the branches were chirping non-stop, and occasionally a string of water droplets would fall from the sides.

"Xiaotian, help me think of something. We've been so busy these days that we haven't had time to catch cicada monkeys at night! Remind me at night so we can go out and catch some cicada monkeys for a snack!" Li Yuexuan remembered that there was still something he could do when he heard the cicadas chirping and saw the dense cicada shells on the tree trunks.

"Okay, platoon leader!" Cai Xiaotian didn't say anything. He just took note of what Li Yuexuan told him. However, Tian Chuan next to him asked, "Platoon leader, we used to catch this cicada monkey when we were young and roasted it over a fire. It tasted okay, but not as good as a grasshopper!"

"Haha, they taste different! Grasshoppers eat all kinds of grass, and they are delicious when you remove their wings and stir-fry or deep-fry them! But this cicada monkey is a good thing! Its protein content is six times that of eggs, and it can also enhance immunity. It is a good thing for the wounded to heal their wounds! What? You don't know what protein is?? Well... I heard from my master that a cicada monkey is equivalent to an egg!"

"As for this immunity... it's just eating this cicada monkey regularly. You'll have a strong body, a solid foundation, and won't get sick easily! Even if you get sick, you'll be able to recover easily!" Li Yuexuan was talking to Tian Chuan about this while he took out his slingshot made of a cuff from his bag to see if he could get anything out of it. New soldiers will be joining the army in a few days, so the meat diet will have to be strengthened again. Even if he kills a pheasant, it will be fine!

The pheasant was not shot, but some birds perched on the trees suffered! There are no protected animals these days, so Li Yuexuan was very happy to shoot several birds of different sizes on the trees along the way. Well, mostly turtledoves, and quails with bald tails. It's a pity that no quail eggs were found, otherwise they would be good for the wounded.

Seeing their platoon leader shooting slingshots while walking, the soldiers walking together all smiled knowingly, and did not have any thoughts about their platoon leader's "unfocused work". If they really had any thoughts, they would think of finding a suitable fork in the tree, then chopping it down, using the inner tube of the enemy's car as elastic, and making a slingshot themselves. Slingshots, which boy doesn't want to play with them?

After walking and stopping for a while, they soon arrived at Jigongling. From a distance, everyone saw the comrades from the first and fourth battalions busy at Jigongling. That's right, the new first regiment was still stationed in Liangjia Village, so the first and fourth battalions also had time to come to Jigongling to dig out the comrades buried here and find a new place to bury them.

In the battle of Jigongling, more than half of the 4th Battalion was killed or wounded. And all the comrades who died were on Jigongling, so we had to search for them!
The arrival of Li Yuexuan and his group did not attract the soldiers' attention. Everyone was doing what they were supposed to do! However, Li Yuexuan smelled a faint stench floating on Jigong Ridge, and swarms of flies were flying around the soldiers. Occasionally, when a soldier was not paying attention, a bunch of flies would land on the blood-stained soil somewhere and suck wantonly...

"Comrade Youshun, you are here!" Zhang Dabiao was not on the position, but the commander of the 3rd Company was commanding on the position, so he came over.

"Hello, comrades! What's the situation here? How many comrades' bodies have been found?" Li Yuexuan asked with concern when he saw that Captain Huang's face did not look good.

"There are dozens of them! Some of them we can still identify, but for others we just found a hand or a foot and we don't know who they belong to! Sigh... We will never forget this place in our lifetime!" The speaker was Captain Mao of Company 10. His tone was heavy, his eyes were red, his hands and body were covered with dirt and dark brown clots.

"You can't do this!" Seeing Captain Mao's expression, Li Yuexuan hurriedly said, "After you bury your comrades, don't rush to eat or drink water. You must take a shower first! It's best to soak your whole body in clear lime water, or wash it with water boiled with willow leaves and dandelions! Be careful not to get sick!"

"Oh, by the way, you can also take the sulfa powder seized from the Japanese... Never mind, I guess you won't be willing to use it! So, go back to squad leader Chen. He's an old Taoist priest with great medical skills. Ask him to prescribe some medicine to get rid of external evil for you to take."

"What?" Captain Mao didn't understand why Li Yuexuan said that at first, but when he saw the soldiers carrying the bodies of their comrades dug out of the soil to the edge of the dug pit, he understood why Li Yuexuan said that. The soldiers had been burying the bodies in the soil for two days, in the middle of summer...

"Captain Huang, I plan to take my comrades to the west of Weijia Village to take a look. Do you want to send scouts to go with us?" Seeing that there was nothing to do here, Li Yuexuan asked.

"Don't send troops. I will take the 3rd Company and go with you! The battalion commander is leading the st Company at Yin Jiulang Village. Since you want to go there, I will go with you. There is nothing to do here!" Captain Huang and Li Yuexuan are old acquaintances and have fought together. He also understands the importance of Li Yuexuan to the team, so he decides to lead the team himself to accompany him.

"Haha, that's fine! If we happen to encounter the Japanese search team, we can still have a small battle!" Li Yuexuan laughed, and the team continued to move westward.
