Li Yunlong looked at the railway and highway lines on the map and said with some difficulty," To be honest, I don't want to fight! It was a losing trade with high casualties and low gains.”
"The key is that sometimes, paying the price may not necessarily be able to complete the mission goal!”
"We lack artillery to attack the enemy, so let's attack their fortifications!”Li Yunlong frowned and said,"The loss outweighs the gain!"”
"I'll think of a way to find some sniper rifles. When the time comes, I'll use them to cover the assault troops.”Qiao Guoqiang took out a pen and a small notebook and drew a drawing on it. Then, he tore it off and handed it to Li Yunlong." Give this to your arsenal. They should be able to do it!"”
Li Yunlong looked at the blueprint. On it was something that looked like a cannon.”
"It's a type of assault weapon. It doesn't have a long range, only about 150-200 meters, but it's very powerful!”Qiao Guoqiang said," It's modified with a gasoline barrel. The thicker the gasoline barrel, the bigger the caliber! The cannonball was an explosive bag, and it was shot out with gunpowder! It was not a problem to blow up a county, but it could be used to attack a town or stronghold with only a few squadrons.”
" Will this work?" Li Yunlong was not sure." Back in the Dabie Mountains, I saw people hollowing out pine trees to make cannons. Your gas can should be able to do it!"
Ignoring Old Li, who was studying the blueprints, Qiao Guoqiang took his gun and walked into a forest, guarding the water source and preparing to hunt.
Compared to the 21st century, the material poverty of the enemy base was worse than that of Africa.
In Africa, people could hunt antelopes and eat bread fruits. At the very least, they could pick up crabs by the sea. However, in the Taihang Mountains, there was not enough food. Li Yunlong's subordinates could only eat two meals of porridge a day.
Qiao Guoqiang was a tour guide before, and he ate wherever he went. In addition, he lived in the slow-paced Chengdu City, which was famous for its food. It would be rare if there was no meat in his bowl one day.
In this poor era, even eating instant noodles was a luxury. He made a packet for Old Li and Zhao Gang, making the two of them feel so sad that they seemed to have fallen.
From then on, he never ate it himself. He always followed the local people to eat millet porridge and wild vegetable dumplings.
F * ck, I've suffered from Boss.
Therefore, he would come out every few days to hunt for wild animals. Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were not surprised.
Seeing a pheasant coming out from behind the bushes and looking for pine nuts to eat, Qiao Guoqiang quietly aimed and pulled the trigger!
"Puff!" The pheasant fell to the ground.
"Damn it!" Li Yunlong cursed," Shooting a pheasant with a gun? Only you, Young Master Qiao, would do such a wasteful thing."”
"Did I use your bullets?”Qiao Guoqiang retorted while eating the stewed radish with pheasant. "If you want to eat meat, go fight the Japanese yourself. They beat up the warhorses to eat horse meat, and snatched canned food to eat beef.”
" Speaking of eating meat..." Qiao Guoqiang asked Zhao Gang," Old Zhao, how are the pastures I planted?"”
"He's quite good-looking!" Zhao Gang said," I saw it the day before yesterday. It's already one foot tall now.”
"That's good!" Qiao Guoqiang said,"After a while, we can harvest a crop." If you can plant a few hundred acres, then it won't be a problem to raise two cavalry regiments.”
When Li Yunlong heard this, he was stunned and asked," Is the grass really that good?”
"Won't we know if we try it this year?!”"In any case, who knows how many years the war will last? Since you have proposed the concept of a protracted war, then don't just think about fighting a war. You should also think about how to increase your strength! The development of production did not only depend on how many acres you reclaimed. Cultivating two species, breeding livestock, improving fertilizers and farming tools, this was the real way to increase productivity!”
While Li Yunlong and the other two were eating the pheasant meat, several regiments were attacking the enemy along the Baijin railway. The Liu and Deng combination led two regiments of the 385th Brigade, as well as the division's special forces regiment, local troops, guerrillas, and thousands of people to launch an attack along the Baijin railway.
The five sniper rifles brought by Qiao Guoqiang played an important role in the hands of the sharpshooters. Just as Qiao Guoqiang had imagined, the enemy's heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, light machine gun commanders, and so on were all constantly "named" by the snipers.
The progress of the troops was much faster than in history, and the results of the battle were also greater.
In the brigade headquarters of the 386th Brigade, Chen Geng, the brigade commander, listened to the report of the engineer battalion commander and smiled. "This f * cking Li Yunlong. Why didn't he hand over such a good thing earlier? With this thing, we won't have to be afraid of fighting tough battles in the future!”
Then, Brigadier Chen asked," Does this cannon have a name?”
"Yes!" The engineer battalion commander said," There are two names on the blueprint. One is 'Flying Thunder Cannon', and the other is' No Conscience '!”
"No conscience?" Brigadier Chen asked,"Why is it called that?"”
"Because when we fight, people don't die from explosions. They die from bleeding from their seven orifices. That's why it's called heartless!"
"Uncle, I quite like this thing.”Qiao Guoqiang looked at a jar passed down from the Qing Dynasty and took out a bag of salt." Can I exchange it for a bag of salt?"”
"Yes!" The farmer smiled and went home with the salt.
Qiao Guoqiang put the jar away and put it in the car. "Next!"
When he arrived, he placed more than 200 packets of edible salt in the truck's cab, all of which were packed in plastic bags. Salt was a hard currency in the countryside these days, and there was also ironware. Kitchen knives, scissors, pots, and axes were all things that could be exchanged.
"Looks like I can bring some hardware products over next time.”
"Mr. Qiao!" Zhao Gang walked over.
"What is it?" He had set up his stall for two days straight and collected dozens of antiques. Zhao Gang did not say anything when he found out. It was obvious that she had something to say to him.
"That…"
"Why are you stammering?" Qiao Guoqiang was impatient.”
Zhao Gang cleared his throat and said," Our army also needs salt.”
"Oh!" Qiao Guoqiang said," Okay, I'll bring you some next time, but not too much." You know that this thing doesn't make money.”
"I know!" Zhao Gang expressed his understanding and then pleaded," But, please help. The Japanese have sealed off the base, and there is a huge shortage of salt in the base.”
"I'll try my best!"
