It was already midnight when Xie Tian returned to the Silk Satin Manor from Gushan Temple with Tiedan. He did not expect that the Silk Satin Manor was still brightly lit and the faint sound of someone talking could be heard.
Xie Tian felt a little strange. He dismounted and handed the reins to Tiedan, and told him to lead the horse into the courtyard through the back door. He walked up the steps and pushed the door open, and the door opened.
Hearing the sound of the door, a dozen women who were sewing clothes and attaching shoe soles in the shop looked out. When they saw it was Xie Tian, a group of women burst into laughter.
Xie Tian was a little puzzled by the laughter of the women. Tang Haoer stood up with a red face and faced Xie Tian and pushed him toward the backyard: "There is hot food for you in the big pot in the back room. Go and bring it out to eat by yourself. "
Xie Tian didn't understand why Tang Haoer was rushing him away. He smiled and hugged the women: "Thank you all for coming to help. Don't stay up too late and rest early."
Li Chunxiang chuckled and shouted: "Actually, Captain Xie wants us to go back early. He and Sister Haoer have other business to attend to."
The women burst into laughter, and Tang Haoer was so embarrassed that he quickly pushed Xie Tian into the backyard.
Li Chunxiang is a big talker who talks about everything. She treats her unnatural walking as a joke to the women.
In fact, people have returned to normal by the afternoon, okay... Oh, Li Chunxiang, Li Chunxiang, I really want to sew your mouth shut.
Xie Tian laughed and was pushed into the backyard by Tang Haoer. Tiedan led the horse in through the back door. Xie Tian ordered him to take the food from the big pot into the east room and eat it himself first. Then he found some tiles and smashed them along the wall. I threw some away, clapped my hands and went into the house.
Having taught Ding Changgui a lesson yesterday, Xie Tian guessed that the Japanese would not dare to come to Dagu Town for revenge for the time being, but they had to guard against sneak attacks at night.
The Japanese had cars and motorcycles, and it only took two hours at most to get from the Zhangzhuang stronghold. It was still hard to guard against a surprise attack, so it was better to be careful.
Now that the team has just been assembled and there is no time to organize, those refugee soldiers can't even shoot a gun, so Xie Tian hasn't given them guns yet to avoid accidental injuries. He can only give them weapons after teaching them tomorrow.
Walking into the east room, Tiedan was already grabbing steamed buns, tearing into roasted chicken and munching.
Xie Tian glanced at him and reached out to move the big cabinet. Tiedan hurriedly dropped the chicken wings in his hands and ran over to help with the steamed bun in his mouth.
The two men moved the big cabinet. Tie Dan took the oil lamp and asked Xie Tian, "What does godfather want to bring? I'll go down and bring it up."
At home, Xie Tian no longer insisted on what Tiedan called him. He jumped into the tunnel first and reached out to take the oil lamp and said: "Let's go down together, pick some weapons and bring them up so that we can distribute them to them tomorrow."
Tiedan hummed and followed Xie Tian into the tunnel.
After going down a few steps, the tunnel turned to flat ground. It was very short, only seven or eight meters long, and then there was a vaulted cellar with an area of more than ten square meters. It was also reinforced with blue bricks. It was located in the yard.
There were more than a dozen wooden boxes piled in the cellar. The most conspicuous thing was the Type 96 light machine gun and mortar placed on a wooden box.
The Type 96 light machine gun can be regarded as an upgraded version of the Waibazi light machine gun. Although the design concept of the Type 96 light machine gun is as unscrupulous as the Waibazi, its practicality is qualitatively improved compared to the Waibazi. At least it does not require ammunition. The bucket is loaded with ammunition, and the magazine capacity has reached 30 rounds, and the suppression durability is slightly better than the Czech type.
After getting into the cellar, Xie Tian used an oil lamp to light the oil lamp in the lamp hole on the wall of the cellar. He put the oil lamp aside and opened a wooden box to reveal a brand new 38-inch lid inside.
Xie Tian inherited Xie Baoqing's memory and naturally knew what was contained in these wooden boxes in the cellar.
This batch of arms was obtained by robbing a transport truck used by the Japanese to replenish ammunition to the front line. Most of the dozen wooden boxes contained bullets and mortar shells. There were also two boxes of canned beef and a box of medicine. The rifle only had This box of twenty rifles is enough for Xie Tian for the time being.
"Come on, carry this box of guns up." Xie Tian ordered Tiedan.
The two men struggled to lift the 38-meter large cover out of the tunnel, and then made several trips back and forth to bring up two boxes of ammunition and machine guns and mortars. Then they lifted the large cabinet back to its original position to cover the entrance of the tunnel.
Just after finishing the work, Tang Haoer came in from outside with a military uniform in his arms. Seeing the two people covered in dirt, he asked: "Going into the tunnel again?"
Xie Tian smiled and pointed at the boxes of weapons and ammunition: "Bring some weapons up here and teach the new recruits how to shoot guns tomorrow."
When Tang Haoer saw that there were machine guns and mortars, he looked at Xie Tian speechlessly and said, "I don't even know when you brought these things in."
Xie Tian laughed: "I didn't tell you because I was afraid of scaring you."
Tang Haoer curled his lips and said to Tiedan who was patting the dirt on his body: "Tiedan, take off your clothes and try on the new military uniform."
Tiedan responded happily and quickly took off his coat and pants.
Seeing Tiedan about to throw the clothes he took off on the kang, Xie Tian hurriedly stopped: "Don't throw them on the kang. Your clothes are dirtier than the ground. Throw them on the ground and wash them yourself later."
Tie Dan chuckled and threw the clothes on the ground. Tang Haoer rolled his eyes at Xie Tian speechlessly, stuffed the military uniform into Tie Dan's arms, bent down to pick up Tie Dan's clothes from the ground, put them on the big cabinet, and said: " Put it on and let me see the effect."
Tiedan let out a sigh and quickly put on his military uniform, tightened his trousers with a cloth belt, tugged on the hem of his clothes and proudly asked Tang Wan'er, "How are you, godmother?"
The man relies on his clothes and the horse relies on his saddle. Tiedan put on a new military uniform and had his hair cut neatly, making him look more energetic.
Tang Wan'er helped Tiedan stretch out his clothes, circled around Tiedan, turned to Xie Tian with satisfaction and asked, "How is it?"
Xie Tian smiled and said with some reluctance: "It's okay."
The camouflage cloth that Tang Haoer dyed was quite different from the camouflage cloth that Xie Tian knew, but it was also very flashy and could definitely play a certain role in camouflage.
Hearing Xie Tian's words so reluctantly, Tang Haoer smiled and said, "Just point it out to me if there's anything wrong. There's no need to save face for me."
Xie Tian chuckled and asked, "Do you have any chalk or anything?"
Tang Haoer rolled his eyes at Xie Tian: "Wait, I'll get it for you."
In addition to selling cloth, the Satin Shop also runs a tailoring business, so it is natural to use chalk, powder, and other markings.
Seeing Tang Haoer go out, Tiedan was about to get on the bed and continue eating. Xie Tian's eyes widened: "I'll just stand there and be a model."
Tiedan scratched his head: "What is a model?"
Tang Haoer came back from the West Room with a piece of powder cake. She was whitening in a charming way. Xie Tian glanced at Tiedan and said with a smile: "Model is the literal translation of English model. You can understand it as a clothes rack."
"I'm not a clothes hanger."
Xie Tian took the powder and glared at Tiedan and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Put your hands up."
Tiedan honestly raised his hands, and Xie Tian's eyes widened: "I'm not telling you to surrender, just raise them flat."
"Oh", Tiedan spread his arms flat.
While scolding, Xie Tian drew a line on Tiedan's uniform: "The most shameful thing about being a soldier is surrendering. If I see you raising your hands like this on the battlefield, I will shoot you first to save you from embarrassing me." .”
Tiedan snarled unconvinced: "Who would surrender on the battlefield? It was you who asked me to raise my hands just now, and you didn't explain it clearly."
"You dare to be so stubborn, believe it or not, I'm going to beat you up now." Xie Tian slapped Tiedan on the back of the head with anger and laughter.
"Hit me. It's natural for me to beat my son. If you beat me, I can't hit you back. I'll save it for you and beat your own son later."
Tang Haoer burst into laughter. The two men were talking about cross talk here.
This bad guy accidentally said another English word just now. It seems that he has long been accustomed to this kind of language. This kind of language can only be developed by those who often deal with foreigners.
Is he really a bandit?
Xie Tian scratched Tie Dan's body with the powder cake, and from time to time he scratched Tie Dan's itchy areas. Tie Dan laughed and dodged, but in exchange for Xie Tian's fierce punches and kicks, the two of them had a lot of trouble.
After finally finishing the trouble, Xie Tian called Tang Hao'er and pointed to the lines and graphics on Tiedan's body and explained: "Hao'er, let me explain to you. Add a pocket here on the upper arm so that soldiers can put some small items that need to be used frequently. , such as vulnerable parts of firearms, our military flag is sewn on the pocket cover for easy identification.”
"Made two pockets and several lanyards here on the chest. The lanyards are used to hang grenades. When used, you can easily take off the grenades and throw them out, which saves a lot of unnecessary links. Moreover, if you are lucky, the grenades can still be used. Blocking bullets fired at the chest can greatly improve a soldier's survival rate on the battlefield..."
"Remove these two pockets on the trousers. Putting things in the trouser pockets will affect the warrior's running, and the things in the pockets are easy to be lost when running. If you must add pockets, they can be sewn on the outside of the thigh. The pockets must have covers and button, so it won’t affect the warrior’s movement.”
"And here, here you can..."
Tang Haoer looked at Xie Tian who was talking endlessly with bright eyes.
You can even design military uniforms, and you are very clear about it. How many secrets do you have that I don't know about?
