Far away at both ends of the road from Huangniujiao Tower.

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie were lying in ambush at the intersection, preparing for the Japs to support the Huangniujiao gun tower.

However, even though the whole body was covered with snow, no gunshots were heard from the Huangniujiao turret.

"What is Mr. Li doing? Even if he was hit, there were gunshots. What's going on?" Li Yunlong was puzzled and called the scouts to have a look.

Soon, the scouts came back to report that the Huangniujiao turret had been pulled out.

"What? Damn it, you demolished the turret without firing a shot?" Li Yunlong was extremely shocked.

Therefore, Li Yunlong, who expressed disbelief, led his troops to check the Huangniujiao gun tower.

As soon as they arrived, they met Kong Jie who also came with troops.

After saying hello, the two looked at the Huangniujiao Blockhouse across the road.

The three-story building has been stripped down to almost the foundation, and all the bricks and stones have been hauled away.

"That's really cruel. If the Japs' ancestral graves are there, I think Mr. Li will definitely take away the ashes as well." Li Yunlong was very shocked.

The turret was taken away without firing a single shot.

I can't even imagine it.

"Good guy, Mr. Li is getting rich. Deputy Commander Kong, let's follow him." Li Yunlong turned his head and thought immediately.

"That's right, I didn't even shoot a gun, it's definitely a big gain." Kong Jie also reacted.

The two groups formed one, and asked people to cover up their traces, and chased after Li Shiyi's traces.

Just returned to the base.

Zhou Zhi, who was in charge of breaking up the rear, reported: "Platoon leader, the regiment leader is following behind.".

"Ignore him and go back to the station." Li Shiyi would not give him a good look.

They're all here to rob me, how can I give him a good face and not rub my nose in my face?

Li Yunlong was not in a hurry and was thinking of some way to rob someone.

The previous reasons for conducting operations without authorization no longer apply.

Because Li Shiyi was blackmailed last time, he asked for the note to indicate the battle.

"Damn it, how can Mr. Li be so smart? He became smart after being tricked once. I have been robbed so many times by the brigade commander." Li Yunlong couldn't help but curse.

After hearing this, Kong Jie smoked his cigarette leisurely, intending to see how Li Yunlong cheated him into obtaining weapons.

Seeing Li Xiaozi arranging the captured weapons in a row, the onlookers were deeply shocked.

Li Yunlong had a toothache.

Setting up a stall?

Want to sell weapons?

"Captain, how was the attack on the gun tower? How much damage was done?" Political Commissar Zhao's voice sounded from behind.

Hearing the voice and turning around, Li Yunlong smiled: "Political Commissar, why are you here?"

"I heard that the soldiers who attacked the artillery building are back. Come and have a look."

"Huh? Did you make a lot of money from the artillery building this time? So many weapons and equipment?" Political Commissar Zhao was chatting and saw a row of shocking weapons under the bright sky.

"Is this a grenade? A gasoline generator? What a good thing!" Zhao Gang clearly saw the most valuable thing among the pile of weapons.

"It's good, but I didn't capture it." Li Yunlong said dullly.

Seeing this, Li Shiyi had to cough, otherwise his weapons would be gone if they kept talking.

"Ahem!"

"Why are you coughing? It's not like I can't see you." Li Yunlong cursed.

"Captain, tell me how good these weapons are! It's a pity that I don't know how to use them. If I become the company commander, I will form a grenade platoon." Li Shiyi said intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hey! It doesn't matter what I say about the company commander. If you build a mortar battalion for me, and I will be the battalion commander, it will be no problem for you to be the regimental commander." Li Yunlong suddenly became happy.

"No, how can you get such a promotion? You just became the platoon leader not long ago." Zhao Gang objected.

"I asked you, boy, why are you so addicted to official duties? Just a few days after you became the platoon leader, you want to be the company commander again?" Kong Jie said angrily.

Li Shiyi said aggrievedly: "Regiment commander, political commissar, deputy commander, what can I do? When I am a platoon leader, I only have 11 soldiers, and it is not enough to attack the artillery tower."

"It's better to be a company commander."

"It's easy to get soldiers. We are short of weapons now, but there is no shortage of soldiers. Give me these weapons and I will allocate a company of soldiers to you." Li Yunlong thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be such a small matter.

Zhao Gang wanted to say something, but after looking at Kong Jie silently smoking, he let the group leader do what he said.

Li Shiyi looked at the three giants of the independent group, and none of them objected.

Although the surrounding soldiers were envious, they didn't say anything.

He nodded and said: "Captain, no problem, I will keep these guns for the new recruits.".

"Also, the regiment must also record my first-class merit and announce it to the entire regiment."

Li Shiyi actually asked for the whole group to be announced.

Li Yunlong was extremely surprised.

"You kid announced to the whole group that you are not afraid of being targeted by the Japanese? Or do you want to compete with me like me to see whose head is more valuable?" Li Yunlong said in surprise.

Li Shiyi said no, it was to be fair, open and just.

In the end, Li Yunlong and the other three nodded, although they didn't understand why they wanted to make it public.

There has never been such a requirement.

Since he asks, do as he asks.

Seeing that they were puzzled, Li Shiyi didn't explain, he just muttered in his heart.

"In the future, the more we fight against the Japanese, the bigger the loot will be. If we don't make preparations in advance, we will be spoiled by the subsequent rectification movement."

However, Li Shiyi did not need to announce the clear battle situation to the regiment, he only needed to roughly state that he had achieved first-class merit by attacking the artillery tower.

He also didn't want to become a thorn in the enemy's side.



Back at the station, before I could take a sip of hot water, I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Li Shiyi turned around and poured water to drink.

Tick ​​lick lick.

There was a sound of water being poured into a bowl.

The sound of pouring water didn't stop him from asking, he already knew who it was.

"Zhou Zhi, what do you want from me?"

Li Shiyi's tone was calm.

"Puff!" There was a shock to the knees.

Zhou Zhi imploredly said: "Platoon leader, I beg you to teach me the techniques of killing Japanese soldiers, and I will work hard to repay you."

Li Shidu was shocked: "I'm going to do this."

He hurriedly stepped aside and saw Zhou Zhi wanting to turn to him and continue kneeling.

He quickly stopped him: "Don't turn around."

She stared into his eyes and said slowly: "Do you really want to learn?".

"Yes." Zhou Zhi turned to look into the platoon leader's eyes and nodded vigorously.

"Okay! The techniques I taught you to kill Japanese soldiers are all in training. You just need to study hard." Li Shiyi also said seriously.

"But..." Zhou Zhi didn't believe it.

"No buts. If I say you don't hide your secrets, you won't hide your secrets. Don't doubt me." Li Shiyi said impatiently.

Being told something central, Zhou Zhi didn't know how to answer the question.

However, Li Shiyi told him that there is no shortcut to training, only practice once, twice, three times...

Only with such skill can he kill the Japanese invisible.

Waving his hand, Zhou Zhi went out to practice on his own.



Three days later, the regiment sent 90 recruits.

The veterans in the regiment remembered Li Shiyi's promise and introduced fellow villagers and trusted connections to recruit 12 people into the third platoon, plus the original 11 recruits.

There are a total of 113 people in Li Shiyi's third platoon.

When I saw the new recruits, all of whom came empty-handed, and the wealthy ones even had swords or homemade spears, I felt a sudden headache.

The leader is asking me to prepare weapons myself.

When I thought that the guns stored were not enough, I immediately guessed that it was Li Yunlong's plan.

If Li Yunlong knew that he thought of him so badly, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged.

Nearly half of the people in the independent regiment did not have guns, let alone the new recruits.
