Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 70 Chapter 070, First Class Merit and Box Gun
When he heard that he had to continue, Li Yuexuan suddenly felt his legs become extremely heavy. He really didn't want to take another step. He just wanted to find a place to sleep. How long had he not felt this way? Probably, it was the same feeling that new recruits had when they first started the 5km cross-country race, right?

At this moment, he had to admire his guerrilla comrades, who still had the strength to march in big strides! You have to understand that his body came from a parallel universe, and it was a body that had time travel and physical strengthening! However, his endurance was not as strong as his comrades.

Thinking about today's marching distance, he had run an armed cross-country race of more than ten kilometers since midnight yesterday, and ran back again in the early morning of today. Then there was fighting, transfer, fighting, transfer, and working part-time as a military doctor in between... plus tonight's march... Li Yuexuan only felt that his legs were heavy, his head was confused, and his ears were buzzing, as if a layer of water film was attached to his ears.

"Haha, military doctor, are you tired? Hold on a little longer, we can rest when we reach the village in the north!" Xing Weiguo seemed to see that Li Yuexuan was not in good condition, so he came over and held his arm.

"Captain, it's okay..." Li Yuexuan said it was okay, but listening to his own voice, it sounded like it came from another world and seemed very unreal.

"Military doctor, why don't you hold my package and sleep for a while?" Lai Fu walked over, and the package on his back drooped down, just enough for Li Yuexuan to lie on it.

"Thank you, comrades. That's not necessary! Let's go quickly. I need to have a good sleep when we get there! Ah... ha..." After saying that, Li Yuexuan yawned loudly.

In the following march, Li Yuexuan walked slowly step by step. He tried his best to take bigger steps to keep up with Lai Fu in front of him and not let himself fall behind. As for the rest? Don't think about anything, just do whatever you want!

In fact, the guerrillas were also exhausted, and they were relying on their willpower to persist! Of course, in the eyes of deputy captain Xing Weiguo, such a marching intensity was a piece of cake. For those who have climbed snow-capped mountains and walked through grasslands, this kind of march is not a big deal! What's more, this is with logistical support, and they can eat and drink enough.

Therefore, the leader of the team at this time was Xing Weiguo. Under his leadership, everyone walked two miles and finally arrived at a village nestled in the mountains and beside the river.

"Ha... you're finally here! Not bad, no one is missing... you must be tired..." In the dim light, Li Yuexuan heard someone talking, it seemed to be the voice of his captain. However, his chaotic mind made him really not want to distinguish who it was.

Then, he felt someone supporting him and walking forward. He also heard the sound of a door opening. Then he felt his body sink and he lay on a soft surface. Someone covered him with a blanket...

And then? Snore, snore, snore...(～﹃～)~zZ
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Li Yuexuan finally woke up! To be exact, he was woken up by suffocation and hunger.

When he appeared in the yard with sleepy eyes, his guerrilla comrades had already gotten up. He looked up at the sky, which was even darker than yesterday and looked like it would rain at any time. He couldn't really tell what time it was.

Fortunately, I had a Longines watch on my wrist. When I looked up, I realized it was already 12 noon...

After asking his comrades where the toilet was, Li Yuexuan solved his personal problem easily and was in the mood to care about the surrounding environment.

At this time, they were in a dilapidated farmyard, and did not find the owner, but only 15 members of their guerrilla team. Yes, all the guerrillas were here, including the wounded.

"Haha, military doctor, you finally got enough sleep..." Seeing that Li Yuexuan still had a dazed expression, Lai Fu said with a smile.

"That's because I can sleep well with my comrades around me!" Li Yuexuan responded, then looked at Zhao Danian who was writing something in the main room, and walked in.

"Captain, where are we going next? Where are the wounded?" Li Yuexuan asked as soon as he opened his mouth, without any shyness.

"According to the instructions from the third division, we will rest here for a few days and heal our wounds! Look, this time our actions will really show up in front of the entire army! Haha..." After Zhao Danian finished speaking, he waved to Li Yuexuan, Xing Weiguo and others.

After everyone gathered, Zhao Danian said, "Our battles over the past few days have successfully covered the retreat of the military district and the civilians. This is the greatest victory! Of course, according to our statistics, we have annihilated quite a few Japanese troops, probably around 700 to 800. The exact number cannot be calculated."

"In order to commend our combat achievements, the superiors decided to award our guerrillas a collective second-class merit! Comrade Li Yuexuan was awarded a first-class individual merit, and Comrade Xing Weiguo, Comrade Luo Wei... well, including me, all received second-class individual merits. This news was conveyed by the Third Division early this morning." Zhao Danian happily talked about the combat awards given by his superiors.

"First-class merit?" Li Yuexuan was a little confused when he heard the first-class merit. Isn't this reward a bit too big? He knew very well how difficult it was to get the first-class merit, and he was given it just now? "What's wrong? Are you so happy that you are silly? Haha... Let's not talk about other things. Just say that when you were assisting the first battalion in blocking the enemy, a grenade launcher directly blew up the Japanese heavy machine gun squadron. Is that worthy of this first-class merit? And when you were fighting in the early morning yesterday, you blew up the Japanese mountain artillery, and the number of enemies you killed in the past few days, all of these are counted for you." Zhao Danian said.

"No, this military achievement came so quickly?" Li Yuexuan asked.

"The Third Division has a radio station, and the New First Regiment has also been equipped with a radio station, so of course the news can be transmitted quickly! Oh, the Third Division is now in our south, and the New First Regiment is stationed with the Third Division. Commander Li praised you very much!" Zhao Danian explained briefly. Of course, there are more things that are not convenient to talk about, such as the production formula of sulfa, which can directly reach the central government's attention.

"Haha, well, now that we've been awarded the military merit, that's all in the past. It only means that we fought well in the past! Next, we have to look forward! Let's talk about the equipment we have first!"

Zhao Danian picked up his notebook and said, "This morning, the New 5st Regiment sent us a batch of captured guns and ammunition. They are the spoils of war distributed to us. I sorted them out and found that we now have 1 Type 85 light machine guns, 5 Czech-style machine gun, 3 Type 2 rifles, 1 grenade launchers, 3 Mosin-Nagants, hunting rifles, rifle, and box cannons..."

Having said that, Zhao Danian quickly took a package from the kang next to him and opened it carefully.

Everyone stared with wide eyes of curiosity, and found that when they opened it, they found that it was actually a wooden box and an ammunition belt similar to a belt.

"Haha... I'm taking advantage of you!" Zhao Danian hung the wooden box containing the box gun directly on Li Yuexuan's neck, then said with a smile: "We originally had two box guns, but the military district specially rewarded Comrade Li Yuexuan with a newest rapid-fire machine gun and an ammunition belt because of his bravery in combat and his killing of over a hundred enemies! In addition, they also rewarded us with 200 rounds of bullets!"

"Here, Xiao Li, open it and take a look! Do you know how to use it?" Zhao Danian looked at Li Yuexuan and asked with a smile.

"I know how to use it, of course I know how to use it!" Li Yuexuan said that he knew how to use it, but the line kept popping up in his mind: "Captain, don't shoot..."

Li Yuexuan opened the lid and took out the box gun. He first checked the safety and then closed it. Then he removed the magazine and checked if there were any bullets in the chamber before putting the gun on the table.

Li Yuexuan had never played with a box gun in his previous life, after all, this thing had been retired long ago! However, as a child who grew up watching various old movies about the War of Resistance Against Japan, he dreamed of having a box gun! So, he would naturally look for information about box guns! Well, on the small broken station, there was Teacher Yang explaining these weapons, and he watched it very carefully.

However, at this time, when he was holding the box gun, the auxiliary panel would naturally give him the most detailed information, allowing him to be completely familiar with the gun the moment he got it.

Seeing Li Yuexuan carefully dismantling and cleaning the box gun, Zhao Danian and Xing Weiguo looked at each other in tacit understanding, nodded slightly, and then smiled. This is someone who has played with box guns before, and he is even a master! Since Li Yuexuan uses the Mosin-Nagant gun, it is possible that with this box gun, he can also hit whatever he points at.

With such a gun and such a shooter in the team, the guerrillas' firepower intensity and lethality in close combat will be greatly improved.

"Okay, Xiao Li, don't rush to clean the gun. Pack it up first and then we can continue the meeting!" Zhao Danian reminded.

"Yes, Captain!" Li Yuexuan packed up the disassembled gun, then loaded the 10-round magazine, and put the box gun in the box. Although he wanted to check out the spare magazines, he was in a meeting and could only be patient.

"Ahem, right now, we have enough guns to equip a company, and we also have more than enough bullets. However, the only thing we lack is people! So, in the next period of time, we need to strengthen our team! New soldiers, I plan to recruit 90 people, so that we can form a company of 100 people!"

"Once we have enough new soldiers, we still have to train them. This is very important! Of course, don't worry, we have no shortage of food. It can at least supply 100 people for four months!"

"But my plan is that we can't just recruit new soldiers from here. This is unrealistic because we don't have enough soldiers here! It just so happens that the Third Division gave us 45 young and strong men, and they agreed to join the team. I asked them to come over and let them become new recruits for our guerrillas."
