After climbing over two mountain ridges, Yang Yuanshan took Li Yunlong to the place where the cooking class was cooking.
I saw that this was a small mountain col. Now there were more than a dozen earthen stoves dug in the ground that could barely hold a marching pot. Firewood was still burning in the stove, and boiling water was burning in the marching pot on the stove.
A half-person-high earthen wall was built more than one meter in front of the stove to block the light of the fire.
What shocked Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei the most was that there were so many stoves burning fires, but almost no smoke came out.
What's even more amazing is that they clearly saw that the firewood in the stove was all dead branches and dead wood picked up by the soldiers on the mountain. It was not very dry. Logically speaking, it should be filled with smoke!
"Hey, that's interesting!
Yang Yuanshan, how come there is no smoke in your stove? "
Li Yunlong was very curious.
On the way over, Yang Yuanshan was already wondering whether Chu Yunfei, an outsider, should know about this thing.
After all, even though this smokeless stove is inconspicuous, it is very useful in a war.
If Chu Yunfei finds out, if he spreads the news later, will our army suffer in the future?
But then he thought about it, this smokeless stove may seem simple, but it would be absolutely troublesome to dig it up.
With the organizational ability of the Jinsui Army, if the soldiers in the cooking squad were tossing this thing, no one would take it seriously, and I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to exert its effect by then.
Besides, relying on the system, I can develop into tens of thousands of elites and thousands of cannons in a few years. If Chu Yunfei can solve it, it will probably only take a few rounds of volleys, so why be afraid of him?
With this thought, he calmly introduced to Li Yunlong:
"Captain, it's not that there is no smoke in this stove, it's because we dispersed the smoke."
"Disperse? How?"
"You see, there are several flues behind each stove. Let the smoke go along the flue into the mountain col. Then, use weeds to block the exit of the flue. In this way, the smoke generated by cooking will be Slowly and sparsely emit smoke to avoid conspicuous smoke production.
And now that it's dark, a little smoke is even less likely to attract attention. "
Yang Yuanshan pointed to the flues and the weeds at the mouth of the flue in this mountain col.
"Good boy, your method is really good!
Damn you, why didn't you report this thing earlier? "
Li Yunlong slapped Yang Yuanshan on the shoulder, almost making him stagger.
He quickly replied:
"Captain, haven't you ever thought of this before?"
"Huh, after this battle is over, I have to write a report and promote this thing to our entire army!
What a waste of this good thing in your hands! "
When Li Yunlong thought that his independent regiment seemed to be showing up in the army again, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
Chu Yunfei also praised:
"Captain Yang, what a wonderful idea!
This will be of great help when we fight against the little devils.
We had no air superiority, so we lit fires to cook on the battlefield, often exposing our positions and attracting bombers from the Japs.
Now with this kind of smokeless stove, soldiers no longer need dry food or cold water during battle. "
He had received a professional military school education and had led troops to fight for so many years. Of course, he could see the value of this kind of stove at a glance.
Being recognized by Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei in person, Yang Yuanshan felt secretly happy and quickly pretended to be humble:
"Captain Chu has given me the award, this is just something I was just thinking about.
Want to try the skills of our cooking class? "
As Yang Yuanshan spoke, he picked up two hot flour pancakes from the dustpan on one side and handed them to Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong.
Neither of them refused. They took a bite and added some salt. The slightly salty and soft texture was much stronger than the hard dry food.
I couldn't help but nod my head as I ate.
…
After eating, Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei returned to their temporary headquarters to rest, while Yang Yuanshan returned to the position, found a shell-proof cave and lay down to sleep.
…
The silent night passed just like that.
Early the next morning, before it was fully light, the soldiers in the cooking class brought breakfast and hot water that they had stayed up all night to prepare. When the soldiers had finished their breakfast and drank the hot water, they all suddenly became more energetic. Fierce, morale is high.
Yang Yuanshan asked the platoon leaders to take stock of all the soldiers, and found only three soldiers with some symptoms of wind and fever. He couldn't help but be very satisfied.
After spending a whole night in the trenches, this non-combat attrition was considered quite good.
I went to report the situation to Li Yunlong who was drinking hot water. Li Yunlong asked him:
"Yang Yuanshan, I thought about it for half the night last night, and I always felt that the little devil's behavior was very abnormal, and he might be brewing some conspiracy.
Today, we wait until 11 o'clock in the morning. If the little Japs still don't come out, I will go and attack the Huting stronghold to see what the little Japs are doing!
what do you think? "
Hearing that Li Yunlong finally wanted to attack the Huting stronghold, Yang Yuanshan was naturally very surprised and nodded quickly:
"Captain, you should have done this a long time ago!
Aren’t there more than 300 little Japs in the Huting stronghold?
Can it be more difficult than when we played against Okuda?
When we first fought against the Okuda Battalion, I only had two mountain cannons, but now I have three mountain cannons and four infantry cannons! "
"Okay, since your kid is so fat, let's do this!"
Li Yunlong also made up his mind.
However, just when he made up his mind to attack the Huting stronghold, suddenly the observation post in the distance quietly raised a small flag and waved it a few times.
Seeing this, Wang Xikui, who had been staring at the observation post, quickly ran over and reported:
"Regiment commander, company commander, the observation post three miles away reported that a group of Japanese soldiers was coming from west to east."
When Yang Yuanshan led the soldiers to set up defense here yesterday, he arranged two teams of observation posts, one east and one west, to observe the situation with telescopes three miles away, so now they can detect the enemy's situation in time.
The Huting stronghold is to the east of Biandan Ridge. It stands to reason that the Japs coming out of the Huting stronghold should be traveling from east to west.
Li Yunlong was also suspicious after hearing Wang Xikui's report, and thought:
"West to east? Did the Japs in the Huting stronghold sense the danger and call for reinforcements?"
Yang Yuanshan sneered:
"Captain, no matter what his background is, as long as the little devil wants to pass by us, we just tell him to save his life!"
He was already ecstatic in his heart, guessing that the people coming might be the little devil's field officer observation group.
When he thought that the observation group was led by major generals, with several majors and lieutenants, the majors were worse than dogs, and the lieutenants were everywhere, he couldn't restrain his excitement!
Here's your chance to make a fortune!
After hearing Yang Yuanshan's words, Li Yunlong also nodded:
"You're right, kid. As long as a kid passes under my nose without peeling off a layer of skin, I won't call him Li Yunlong!"
