Despite his small stature, Hu Lai was wearing a small-sized Eighth Route Army uniform. Who knew who had modified the clothes for him, but they fit him quite well.
Looking at the boy's longing eyes, Xiao Wuzi took out the Browning gun brand from his waist, unloaded the magazine and saw that there were still two bullets in it.
"Let's make an agreement first. This gun is only temporarily loaned to you and cannot be given to you because it would be against discipline. There are only two bullets left. If you want to practice shooting, you have to get the bullets yourself."
While walking on the road, Xiao Wuzi taught Hu Lai how to dismantle the gun, how to assemble it, and how to troubleshoot basic faults.
In addition, guns must be maintained from time to time.
He also told him about the advantages and disadvantages of common guns.
On the battlefield, if the gun fails to fire at the critical moment, it will cost your life.
These are Xiaowuzi's strengths. He doesn't even need to go to Kangda University to learn them. He can master them since he was a child.
Hu Lai is also a smart kid who is very obsessed with guns, so he learns quickly. He can disassemble and assemble a small pistol in less than half a day.
After the two entered the mountain, Hu Lai showed the way to Xiao Wuzi, saying that there were often yellow sheep in this place. He had no tools and couldn't get them, so he just stared.
He also said that this was the trail they often used to go to the water to drink water.
Xiaowuzi was a good hunter, so of course he saw that there was indeed a narrow path that appeared and disappeared among the trees.
They came out in the name of cutting firewood, and they couldn't do any work at all. Xiao Wuzi used the string he brought to make several nooses and put them on the road where the yellow sheep must pass.
This string is made from the shoelaces of the Japanese soldiers joined together and is very strong.
Yellow sheep have horns, and they can't run away if they are trapped. It depends on whether this place is really frequented by yellow sheep as Hu Lai said.
Of course, they couldn't cut firewood in the place where the trap was set. The two climbed over a ridge and found some dry tree trunks. They chopped and chopped them and made two bundles, one large and one small. Xiao Wuzi was afraid that he wouldn't be able to carry it because he was doing this nonsense. After all, he is still a child.
When the two men carried the firewood and walked back, they had just climbed over the mountain. Hu Lai threw the firewood aside and ran over screaming because he saw a prey being trapped.
Xiaowuzi put down the firewood and hurried over. He took a look and saw that a big-horned yellow sheep was hanging there. It was still alive. The thin rope not only wrapped around its neck, but also wrapped its horns.
Animals with horns have a bad habit of attacking with their horns no matter what happens.
Originally, the noose only covered the neck, but it lowered its head and pushed forward, wrapping its horns around the rope, and now it couldn't run away.
Xiaowuzi has never seen this kind of wild sheep. It is about the same size as a goat and weighs fifty or sixty pounds.
What he didn't know was that yellow sheep rarely come to mountainous areas. This is because they often come to drink water and get out of the way, so they get caught in the rope.
Xiao Hu Lai was jumping for joy and said sincerely: "Brother, you are so awesome."
This compliment came from the heart, proving that he was truly convinced of Xiao Wuzi.
Xiao Wuzi took out his knife, cut the sheep's blood three times, skinned it, and then dismembered the fresh mutton into pieces.
Xiao Hu Lai made a fire by the water. Xiao Wuzi washed some sheep hearts, livers and some good meat, washed them with water, skewered them with sharpened branches, and roasted them on the fire.
Seeing that the meat was roasted until it was sizzling and oily, the little boy was already dripping with tears.
Xiao Wuzi has not eaten meat for a long time, and the food in the entire Eighth Route Army is not good. I heard that Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu are all eating millet and sweet potatoes.
Xiaowuzi was thinking about how to make some meaty food to improve the food for the students in the school.
They are all young people. They are studying and training and need nutrition.
Xiao Hu Lai almost swallowed his tongue after eating this barbecue.
Xiaowuzi tied the mutton and sheepskin to the firewood, pulled it with a rope, and led Hu back and forth to the military camp.
Xiao Hu Lai carried a small bundle of firewood behind him without complaining at all.
Old Liu was overjoyed when he saw the mutton, and said to Xiaowuzi: "How about I transfer you to my place? You don't have to do anything, just think about hunting for me every day. As the cooking squad leader, you can do whatever I want. .”
Xiaowuzi said: "I would like to come, but Kangda is unwilling. I will try my best to help you if I have time. Our food is too bad."
From then on, there was a follower behind Xiao Wuzi. Whether Xiao Wuzi was studying and training or at other times, Xiao Hu Lai was inseparable from him.
The classmates all laughed at him: "Hey! Our Comrade Xiao Liu has been promoted, but we haven't even graduated yet. Are we already working as orderlies?"
Then everyone burst into laughter. Xiao Wuzi was thick-skinned, but he didn't care. Who knew that Xiao Hulai was even thicker-skinned and a little complacent.
After teaching him how to shoot, Xiaowuzi discovered that this kid really has a talent for playing with guns. He can master both long and short guns very quickly. The only drawback now is that he is still young and not strong enough. Xiaowuzi thought about it and thought that he seemed to be better than him in those years. It’s too early to play with guns, I can’t even remember how I got here.
The Anti-Japanese Military and Political University is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Not to mention the teachers, the students all have their own specialties. The school held a live-fire shooting competition. The marksmanship of Shaanxi Wazi Sidezi was no worse than that of Xiaowuzi. Xiao Wuzi's gun has ten rings, and others also have ten rings.
The last two got more competitive and offered to move the rake.
When the instructor's grenade thrown by a student a hundred meters away was hit by both of them in the air at the same time, the teacher came forward and said there was no need to compete, and the two tied for first place.
Yu Hai, who comes from Henan, is more powerful. His martial arts is passed down from his family, and his ancestors were lay disciples of the Shaolin Temple.
Xiao Wuzi sometimes sparred with him, but he had worked hard and was not comparable to Xiao Wuzi, a three-legged cat. Xiaowuzi is eager to learn, and Yu Hai actually taught him many life-saving tricks.
Xiaowuzi sometimes goes to see Jin Liang and Liu Xia. They are both learning telecommunications, that is, receiving and receiving telegrams.
Although Xiaowuzi was working hard to learn cultural knowledge, he really couldn't understand what Jin Liang and the others were learning.
After Liu Xia came, many people were interested in her because of her good looks.
It is said that a regimental cadre of the Eighth Route Army fell in love with her and sent several groups of people to match her, telling her how good the leader was and that he was an old revolutionary.
Liu Xia flatly refused, and she said: "My fiancé is in the Eighth Route Army. We have been engaged for a long time, but we haven't held the wedding yet. We have a good relationship, so I don't bother everyone to worry about me."
Liu Xia went to Jin Liang to cry and complained. Jin Liang became angry and went to the leaders of Kangda University to file a complaint, saying that someone was trying to steal his wife.
Someone there also filed a lawsuit against Jin Liang, saying that Jin Liang was having sex with men at school because many people saw him and Liu Xia hugging each other.
After investigation by the leaders of the Anti-Japanese University, they found that Jin Liang and Liu Xia were an unmarried couple and were engaged at home. The leaders criticized the man over there and suppressed the matter.
Xiaowuzi came back from school that day, carrying a book for him and following him. Suddenly, a figure rushed towards him. Xiaowuzi felt it and hid to the side. He didn't avoid it and was hugged by the person. Then the whole back felt as heavy as a big mountain.
Er Niu's loud noise came to his ears, "Brother, have you missed me? I'm here to keep you company."
Xiaowuzi opened his hand in disgust and said, "Masters, don't hug me. He's wearing a military uniform."
Although he said this, his heart was really happy. He really missed this kid.
Xiao Hu Lai looked at the two of them beating their chests and hugging their shoulders with envy. He hoped that he would grow taller quickly and be able to kill enemies for the country like them.
The headquarters finally couldn't stand Lao Zhao's hard work. He told the headquarters: "When I needed the cadres the most, you all transferred them away for me. If you want to transfer Niu Ben, you can just bring Liu Zhenwu back.
The headquarters still recognized Lao Zhao very much, so they transferred five or six young cadres who graduated from the Anti-Japanese University to him and replaced him with a student.
The reason why Erniu attaches so much importance to Erniu is not only because of his achievements in the Northeast, but also because his original army has been disbanded and reorganized. Young cadres like him with actual combat experience are in great need, so Erniu was also sent to study. .
Erniu also heard a good thing, that Zhang Guorui also led the team out of the country. This time Xiao Wuzi felt completely relieved.
Xiaowuzi also knows that when they graduate, it will be time to truly separate. They are all outstanding soldiers recognized by the Eighth Route Army, and they will all be independent in the future.
Alas, in war years, separation between life and death is unavoidable.
Erniu can no longer grow taller, but he has become stronger during this time, and can act as a wall wherever he goes.
Maybe it was because when Xiao Wuzi first met him, he was a prisoner of war and his nutrition couldn't keep up. During this time, his nutrition improved, and he grew longer and thicker.
Jin Liang also came over in the evening, and the three brothers chatted for half the night under the stars on the spring night. Liu Xia and Xiao Hu Lai were also listening to their chat.
Jin Liang said: "Commander-in-Chief Nie has a plan. In the future, after they graduate, they will be spread like seeds to various places. They all have a common name, the Armed Task Force Behind Enemy Lines.
One night just a few days after the three brothers got together, the troops gathered urgently, and Xiao Wuzi was called out alone. When he went to a room and saw the group of people, he was happy, they were all acquaintances.
Among them were his teacher, who was also an Eighth Route Army cadre, then Sidezi, Yu Hai, and his good buddy Erniu, plus him, there were five people in total.
The teacher's surname was Wang. The first order was for everyone to change clothes. There was a pile of ordinary people's clothes over there, and they were asked to find something suitable to change into.
The second order was to distribute weapons and ammunition. Each of them received a gun capable of firing multiple rounds. This was the first time Xiaowuzi saw this gun. It should be made in Russia. There are long round heat dissipation holes on the front barrel. , the magazines are also disc-shaped drum magazines.
They were all veterans of playing with guns, and they soon became familiar with this submachine gun.
The third order was not to speak, but to obey the order. The teacher temporarily taught them a few gestures, which one meant to walk, which one meant to stop, which one meant to fire, and which one meant to cease fire. If you don’t teach them too much, I’m afraid they won’t remember them.
Teacher Wang asked them to bring pistols with them, and then led the four-person team and quickly disappeared into the night.
