Chapter 19, Mysterious Grapevine
Yangcun, a small and unknown village, suddenly came today with a large number of Eighth Route Army stationed there.

Village head Li Guofu accompanied Kong Jie, head of the main group, to observe the terrain around the village.

The old village chief said: "Master Kong, there is a dry river behind this village. There is water in summer, and now there is only the stone bridge left."

Except for the mountains, there is snow, a vast expanse of whiteness.Kong Jie looked at it for a while, then put down the binoculars.

"Our independent regiment is tasked with protecting the headquarters. No matter what, we must increase our vigilance and protect the safety of the head of the headquarters."

The chief of staff had already prepared the draft: "Commander, let's stand here with two bright posts for patrolling, and there is a dark post on it with a light machine gun on it.

The guard sentry sent out one batch in the first half of the night, and another batch in the second half of the night. Even if the Japanese army came, we would have enough time to react. "

Such an arrangement is already very rigorous.

The rear of Yangcun is the base of the Eighth Route Army, and the probability of the enemy appearing from this direction is extremely low.

The main energy of the Independence Regiment is still to be placed on the front line where the Japanese army may engage in battle.

Fortifications should also be built in front of them for emergencies.

After dismissing the village chief, Kong Jie and the chief of staff planned to inspect the frontline defensive positions.

On the way, the chief of staff said a novel thing.

"Captain, have you ever heard of a cannon that can be fired by carrying it on your shoulders?"

Kong Jie was very surprised when he heard this: "The cannon can be carried on the shoulders, so you are not afraid of shocking people to death!"

He had heard that someone once fired the little devil's [-]mm grenadier against his thigh.Broke the leg directly.

Thinking about carrying that thing on your shoulders, it's strange to look at it, can't you find even such a small place to put it?

"Commander, it's not the same thing. This is a new type of weapon called a bazooka."

The chief of staff went to the general headquarters this morning, and happened to meet Artillery Director Zhao and the others, who were experimenting with a new weapon-the bazooka.

A soldier carried it on his shoulders, aimed at a target more than 200 meters away, pulled the trigger, and a shell with flames sprayed from the tail was shot out.

The violent flames and thick smoke accompanied the explosion, and behind the fortifications built with sandbags, all the straw figures in rags were overturned.

At that time, the deputy commander-in-chief and others who came to watch were greatly shocked, and they were full of praise for the bazooka carried on their shoulders.

I think this is a very valuable weapon, which is very suitable for the Eighth Route Army. It is required to dismantle and study it as soon as possible, and it is best to imitate it.

Kong Jie's curiosity was aroused: "Can it be imitated?"

The chief of staff shook his head regretfully: "Several experts at the headquarters unanimously agreed that it is impossible. The technical content of the bazooka is too high. Even if it is forcibly imitated, the effect will be greatly reduced."

Kong Jie sighed and was speechless, his curiosity was aroused, but at this moment he told him no, he was just playing around.

The independent regiment didn't even have a mortar, which was his long-standing heart disease.

But it is not an easy task to seize the mortar from the devils.

The Japanese army that can deploy mortars is at least a squadron, with a hundred or more dozens of people.

The Independence Regiment wanted to eliminate such a Japanese army alone, and the Japanese army would often destroy heavy weapons when they were defeated.

I would rather blow it up than leave it to the Eighth Route Army.This makes capturing a mortar even more difficult.

Kong Jie's wish has never been fulfilled.

The chief of staff noticed Kong Jie's lonely expression and said, "Commander, guess how the bazooka came from?"

"How did it come here? Was it captured from the Japanese army?"

Kong Jie shook his head and vetoed: "I haven't seen this kind of weapon used by the Japanese army. Could it be that it was bought from abroad?"

The chief of staff laughed and said: "You guessed it right, this weapon was bought from a very powerful arms dealer.

Li Yunlong of the new regiment also bought fifty burst-firing AK rifles from that man in one go, which are actually the same as our light machine guns.

They also presented him with [-] rounds of ammunition.It's a pity that he was unlucky, and the things were removed as soon as they arrived. "

Kong Jie had heard about Li Yunlong being dismissed, but he had never heard of such a thing.

Kong Jie became more and more puzzled: "How can Li Yunlong have so much money for fifty machine guns? It's not that I underestimate him. No matter how rich Xinyituan is, they are better than us. How can they afford it?"

A rifle costs dozens of dollars, and a light machine gun costs hundreds of dollars.

Even if you pawn the trousers of Xinyituan, you can't buy two machine guns.

"There's no money to change it!"

The chief of staff subconsciously lowered his volume, "I heard from a fellow at the headquarters that Li Yunlong took five Japanese command knives and replaced them all."

"Really?" Kong Jie didn't believe it. Just that kind of Japanese knife, one knife can be exchanged for ten light machine guns?
If it is true, then he wants to say: Come to me.

The soldiers of the Independence Regiment had more than a dozen such knives in their hands.Other friendly and neighboring troops have also seized a lot of battles over the years.

You can even make a request that he take the independent group and immediately go to trouble the little devil and get him some command knives.

"Of course it's not that simple. Of the five knives, two are Japanese lieutenant officers, three are Sakano katanas, and one of them is Sakata's knives who were killed."

The chief of staff's words poured cold water on Kong Jie, and he recovered from his unrealistic assumptions.

Zuo Guandao, even the lowest major, must be a squadron leader or even a big captain.

The independent regiment has not killed such a person yet, let alone captured them.

There are still two lieutenant knives, both of which were seized from the second lieutenant of the devil.I don't know how many guns I can change?

The chief of staff said again: "Commander, I still have important information, the arms dealer also said he wanted antiques or gold.

We don't have gold, but we can find ways to get people to buy antiques.For example, in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages, the homes of those landlords should have them.

The intelligence personnel can think of a way from the county seat, especially those traitors who have committed the most heinous crimes, and they have collected antiques for the Japanese. "

His words opened Kong Jie's mind.

If a person has a clear goal, he will always find a way.

For example, contact your old comrades now and find a way to get some good knives.

But the prerequisite is that others don't know it yet.

Another example is to let intelligence agents go to the Japanese-occupied areas to find out the situation, which traitors have collected antiques, and which little devils have goods in their hands.

Kong Jie hurriedly asked, "Are there many people who know about this news?"

"Not many now, so we won't know for sure in the future." The chief of staff gave a look that you understand, after all, such a good thing can't be hidden for too long.

If they weren't close to the headquarters, they might not have known so early.

Kong Jie pondered for a moment, and a few candidates who were close to him had already popped up in his mind. He could send a few correspondents and get some knives with his personal letter.

"Do you know how to contact the arms dealer?"

This question confuses the chief of staff. The arms dealer is always haunted, and no one knows how to contact him.

Kong Jie was very disappointed, "I can't even find anyone, how can we exchange them with him?"

The chief of staff frowned and thought hard, suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, looked up at Kong Jie who was walking away and shouted: "Li Yunlong, look for Li Yunlong, he must know."
