Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 72 Chapter 072, New Soldiers
The three of them discussed the next direction of development, and Li Yuexuan decided to go for a walk next door. He wanted to check on the wounded.

Next door was a larger courtyard with more rooms, but no civilians were seen. When Li Yuexuan entered the courtyard, he saw three female nurses washing bandages together, talking and laughing. In the side rooms and the main room, the wounded could be heard talking and laughing.

"Haha... Comrades, we had such a great time fighting this battle! If my arm hadn't been bitten by the enemy's bullet, I could have killed a few more!"

"I just twisted my foot, but you want me to rest! What do I need to rest? I killed a Japanese soldier with this foot!"

"It's quite lively! Is there anyone with fever?" Li Yuexuan walked into the north room and saw several wounded people sitting side by side on the edge of the kang, and asked with a smile.

"Military doctor... It's nothing, everything is fine! Come on, comrades, squeeze in and make some room for the military doctor..." As they spoke, the wounded twisted their buttocks and managed to make some space for him on the edge of the bed.

Looking at the movements of the wounded, Li Yuexuan couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Don't move, rest well, so that your wounds can heal as soon as possible. When your wounds are healed, you have to continue fighting the Japanese, so don't move! Come, let me take a look at your wounds..."

With the help of the auxiliary panel, Li Yuexuan checked the conditions of the wounded one by one and changed the dressings for those who needed them. Then, after giving them careful instructions, he went to another room.

In this battle, the New 1st Regiment suffered heavy casualties, with more than half of the First Battalion's personnel reduced. Of course, including the wounded in the yard, the First Battalion still had more than half of its soldiers. As for why these wounded were here and not with the New 1st Regiment, Li Yuexuan had his own guess.

The Japanese are still in the south, and no one can be sure whether there will be another attack. Let the wounded stay here so that they can be quickly transferred out in case of any accidents.

After checking the wounded, Li Yuexuan returned to the camp yard amid the soldiers' envious and grateful eyes and the nurses' warm farewell. Why were the soldiers' eyes full of envy? Li Yuexuan was carrying a Mosin-Nagant and a box gun on his waist! Moreover, the ammunition belt that was hung around his neck and tied around his waist was also tied on his body by Li Yuexuan.

Box gun, what soldier wouldn't envy it? Well, Li Yuexuan would never admit that he meant to show off, after all, weapons cannot be separated from the body, right?

Back in the camping yard, it finally started to drizzle. The visibility in the house also became very low, and Li Yuexuan couldn't write anything right away.

So, he put the box gun back on the table and checked the gun of his dreams again. This German original Mauser military pistol, in very new condition, was produced in 1932 and can fire rapidly and automatically. According to the theoretical firing rate, it only takes 4 seconds to fire 20 rounds of bullets. If used properly, it is a small submachine gun!
Of course, if you connect the wooden box that holds the gun, it can really be used as a submachine gun, but the bullets are not durable.

The military district gave this gun 200 rounds of bullets, but Li Yuexuan didn't get all the bullets. He only got a fully loaded 10-round magazine and a spare 10-round magazine. In addition, there were 3 fully loaded 20-round magazines on the ammunition belt. That's 80 rounds of bullets, what else do you need? Well, why does he care so much about the number of bullets?

After disassembling and reassembling the gun, Li Yuexuan held the box gun in his hand and put the steel clip that came with the gun on the gun. Strictly speaking, this clip is similar to the design of a quick-draw holster, which is designed to quickly pull out the gun in battle. Normally, the gun can be hung on the belt instead of being placed in the box.

Li Yuexuan naturally had a weapon belt, and even each member of the guerrillas could be equipped with several weapon belts. This was the benefit of annihilating the devils, we had everything the devils had!

"Military doctor, how about this gun?" Bai Dabao and Bai Dashan just stared at Li Yuexuan busying himself. When they noticed that Li Yuexuan was aiming with the gun, Bai Dabao then asked.

"How about it? Hehe, let's put it this way! No need to aim, just raise the gun and shoot. Within 50 meters, I guarantee that I can kill one Japanese soldier with one shot! Within 30 meters, I will shoot the Japanese soldier's left eye, never the right eye!" Li Yuexuan spoke confidently, and in fact, he could really do it. A man with an absolute sense of gun is so confident. "Good guy, if we encounter the situation the night before last again, your gun will be as powerful as our guerrilla team!" Bai Dashan said enviously.

"Okay, okay... By the way, have you guys eaten?" Li Yuexuan suddenly felt a little hungry.

"I've had breakfast, but not lunch yet!" said Bai Dashan.

"Haha, everyone is hungry, right? Come on, comrades, carry these in, we will eat here from now on!" At this time, Lowe's voice came from outside the yard.

Then, the guerrillas led a group of young people into the yard in the rain. The young people were a little restrained, still wearing civilian clothes, but everyone had an Eighth Route Army hat. These were the new comrades of the guerrillas. Well, a group of new recruits...

The new recruits carried several winnowing baskets covered with white cloth, and the steam was rising from the rain. Under Lowe's command, the winnowing baskets were placed on the table and the floor in the north room.

"Okay, the people helped us steam the steamed buns, two for each person, and one piece of pickled vegetables for each person, that's all we'll have for lunch!" Three sturdy young men were already following Lowe, probably the cooks he had chosen. Of course, they could also be trained as machine gunners.

As for the future direction? It depends on the training results and personal strengths of these recruits. Of course, it is better to discover some talents in training and cultivate them specifically.

In a small mountain town more than 20 miles north of Landaoshi, Zhao Danian found the headquarters of the New st Regiment and comrades from the Third District, and reported the needs of the guerrillas to his superiors. Then, he waited for his superiors to allocate supplies and mobilize personnel.

On the south side of the road-blocking stone and in Shuijiao Village west of the Dragon King Temple, the Japanese were filling a pit in the rain.

In a house in the village, Captains Suzuki and Miyamoto sat on the east and west sides of an octagonal table, staring at the rain curtain outside the door.

By chance, the two captains turned their heads in tacit understanding and looked at each other.

"Hmph..." After a cold snort, the two looked at the rain curtain again.

"This matter..." Suzuki couldn't help it and finally spoke.

"Don't say any more about this. Let's bury the soldiers first and then retreat!" Miyamoto interrupted Suzuki and made the decision that both of them wanted.
