Xiao Yingwu immediately said: "Okay, I'll find such a person right now."

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "I suggest you go to big cities like Yanji, Jilin, and Changchun to look for them, because rich people have the money to buy things that are buried with them, so skilled craftsmen may be in those big cities."

Xiao Yingwu said: "Let's look around first, and then go to the big city if we can't find it." Lin Yuan agreed, Xiao Yingwu turned off the communicator, called Zhong Cheng, the reconnaissance battalion commander, and said, "You immediately mobilize your forces and go to the nearby The villages and towns are looking for craftsmen who know how to make paper."

Zhong Cheng agreed to come down, and found a dozen or so people in the evening. Xiao Yingwu called these people to him and asked, "Which one of you has the best technique?"

For a while, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one answered, Xiao Yingwu asked again, at this time, a craftsman who seemed to be the oldest stood up and said: "Chief, I am the oldest, so I dare not say that I have the best skills, but after all, I have more skills than younger generations." Been working for a few years..."

Xiao Yingwu laughed without waiting for him to talk, "Old man, you don't have to be humble. I heard from my subordinates that you have done these things in a big city like Shenyang, and the business was very good."

The old man smiled and said: "That's right, but later Lin Shuai advocated civilized sacrifices, low-carbon life, fewer and fewer people buried with them, and our business is getting worse and worse, so we closed the shop and returned to our hometown. .”

Xiao Yingwu smiled and said, "Then can you tie a cylinder?"

The old man thought for a while and said, "What do you do with the cylinder?"

Xiao Yingwu said: "Be a cannon!"

The old man thought for a long time and asked, "Who wants to bury the cannon with him when he dies?" The old man's words made Xiao Yingwu and others laugh. The old man was embarrassed by everyone's laughter and blushed. : "Old man, we set up cannons not to be buried with you, but to beat little devils."

The old man said: "Paper cannons can't beat little devils. They may be useful in the underworld, but if they are in the underworld, paper cannons are definitely not as effective as steel cannons."

Everyone laughed again when they heard this, Xiao Yingwu laughed and said: "Old man, how to fight is a military secret, I can't tell you, just tell me if you know how to do it?"

The old man said: "I know how to do it, but I don't have anything to do it."

Xiao Yingwu asked, "What do you need?"

The old man said: "Paper, long bamboo poles, and paste."

Xiao Yingwu turned around and called the logistics chief of the Seventh Division, and asked, "Do we have the things the old man said?"

The head of logistics said: "We have the paper, but we really don't have the last two things. The division has glue. I don't know if it will work?"

Hearing the words of the head of logistics, the old man said hastily: "I have seen your paper before. It is too hard to tie. If you want to tie it, you have to use the kind of rice paper that was written in the Qing Dynasty."

Xiao Yingwu frowned, thinking: "I never thought it would be so troublesome to make a fake cannon." But he had no choice but to get angry with the old man, so he asked other craftsmen: "You should have those things in your hands, right? "

Everyone said: "Shuai Lin proposed a new way of life. Burning paper money and burning funerals are classified as uncivilized behaviors, so fewer and fewer people do these things, our business is getting less and less, and we don't have too much money on hand. I have too much stock, I don’t know how many cylinders like this you want to make? How big? How many?”

Xiao Yingwu gestured with his hand and said, "It's about as long as one person, three hundred."

Everyone shook their heads and said, "Not enough, definitely not enough."

The logistics minister said at this time: "Teacher, how about this, let's go buy a batch of these things, and then treat them as urgent supplies, and they will be delivered to us soon."

Xiao Yingwu said: "Okay, let's do it like this."

The Minister of Logistics then asked the villagers where they sold those things, and everyone said that the nearest one was in Changchun, so the Minister of Logistics ordered to mobilize a batch of funeral supplies from Changchun and transport them to the front line. Immediately, the villagers began to tie cylinders to make cannons, and mobilized some military paint for cannons, and painted them on paper. From a distance, it really looked like the barrel of a cannon.

After a busy day, the three hundred "cannon barrels" were manufactured and transported into the fortifications at night. The fortifications were covered by sheds, so only the cannon barrels exposed from the fortifications could be seen from a distance. Li Menghu suddenly thought after transporting the body tube into the fortification: "What if the Japanese army sends a reconnaissance force to sneak across the river to reconnaissance our artillery positions? Then our previous efforts will be in vain!"

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered Zhong Cheng, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, to select elite troops and set up individual bunkers near the bunkers to intercept the Japanese scouts.

Early the next morning, Abe Shinichi was woken up by his subordinates in his sleep, who said in a panic: "Captain, it's not good, the Chinese have transported the artillery into the fortification!"

Abe Shinichi frowned, and said, "So fast? Did you hear the sound of vehicles moving last night?"

The subordinate said: "No!"

Abe Shinichi said: "That's strange, how did their artillery enter the fortification? Could it be pushed by someone? Let's go and have a look." Abe Shinichi came to the front of the telescope, opened the covering cloth, and held the Looking at the fortifications through the binoculars, I saw a long pipe protruding from each fortification, and the specific color and material could not be seen clearly. Abe Shinichi frowned and said, "It seems to be the artillery of the Chinese people." , but why did they enter the position so quickly?"

The subordinate said: "Captain, don't worry too much about this. You should notify the artillery to attack. If that person attacks first, the higher-ups will definitely blame you."

Abe Shinichi said angrily: "Baga! Even if I am blamed by my superiors, even if I go to a court-martial, I can't let the empire's precious shells go to waste! Immediately call a small team, and I will lead them across the river for reconnaissance!"

The subordinate said: "Captain, how can you go to reconnaissance yourself? The Chinese people must have arranged heavy troops to defend the position, it will be very dangerous."

Abe Shinichi glared at his subordinates, and his subordinates did not dare to speak anymore, so Abe Shinichi led a small group of Japanese soldiers down from the mountain and ran towards the river on fast horses. As soon as Abe Shinichi reached the woods by the river, he stopped When he got down, he didn't dare to cross the river rashly, because the river was more than 1000 meters wide and there was no cover on it. If Lin Yuan set up an ambush on the other side of the river, he would become a target as soon as he got on the river!

Abe Shinichi raised his binoculars to look at the fortifications, and he could only see the gun barrel. Behind the gun barrel was blocked by the mound in front of the bunker. Abe Shinichi saw silver-gray light flashing on the gun barrel through the binoculars , I thought: "Silver gray? This is the standard color of weapons in Lin Yuan's army. It seems that the guy inside is really the artillery of the Chinese people. If this is the case, then we will not be polite."

Abe Shinichi asked his subordinates to turn on the radio and notify his camp: "Notify the artillery position immediately. Our department has already reconnaissed clearly. The artillery on the opposite position is full of artillery from Lin Yuan's army. Fire immediately!"
