After setting up camp, the brick-burning craftsmen went to find clay, and the lime-burning craftsmen went to find limestone.
Boss Wei followed the squad leader around to search, determine the surrounding terrain, and draw a map.
On this day, Boss Wei and his class walked deep into the dense forest and discovered a raw camp.
Shengfan are the indigenous people of Taiwan Island. The civilization of these indigenous people is still in the stage of hunting, fishing and farming. There are different ethnic groups of Shengfan in Taiwan. The group of Shengfan discovered by Boss Wei's class live in houses made of bamboo and thatch:
The house uses thick bamboo inserted into the ground to make a roof truss, and other bamboos are placed on top of this bamboo trellis to make the floor and house walls, and then the roof is covered with thatch to make the roof.
Those students wore colorful clothes, and both men and women wore skirts. Their faces were tattooed with patterns of various colors, and the color of their skin was invisible.
After Boss Wei discovered these soldiers, the soldiers soon also discovered the eight soldiers in Boss Wei's squad. These soldiers were very unfriendly to outsiders. As soon as they saw the eight soldiers of Boss Wei, the thirty soldiers howled.
Shouting and howling, they rushed forward with swords and spears raised.
Boss Wei's squad leader ordered the soldiers to shoot freely.
Boss Wei had already loaded the rifle with bullets. At this time, he raised the rifle and aimed at a Shengfan leader who rushed over a hundred paces away. The leader looked older and was holding an iron-tipped spear. The other Shengfan leaders
Everyone gathered around the leader.
Boss Wei pressed the trigger, sparks suddenly burst out from the fire door, and there was a loud "pop" sound. Then the entire rifle was set back, and flames and smoke were sprayed from the muzzle. Boss Wei's shoulder was pressed against the butt of the gun.
At this time, his shoulder was hit by the recoil of the rifle. When Boss Wei raised his head to look at the leader, the leader had already fallen to the ground and was twitching.
Boss Wei shouted excitedly: "I killed the leader!"
But no one paid any attention to Mr. Wei. Everyone was shooting and reloading. Mr. Wei also quickly started reloading.
The soldiers here quickly fired more than a dozen shots, almost knocking down a soldier with one shot. Soon, the firepower here frightened the soldiers. They dropped the wounded on the ground and fled away.
go.
The squad leader did not pursue these indigenous people, but led the team back to the camp and reported to Commander Zheng.
Zheng Hui frowned when he heard that there was a police officer not far away. In order to prevent accidents, Zheng Hui asked soldiers to set up police posts outside the camp and monitor the security around the camp in shifts day and night.
The three large ships have returned, and all the supplies on board have been piled up in the camps. The camp at the top of the hill is the core of the first batch of immigrants and must not be lost.
The surrounding terrain has been basically understood, the map has been drawn, and there is no need to go out for reconnaissance. Boss Wei never leaves the camp again. He only does basic training every day. The rest of the time is to dig trenches to protect the camp. Sometimes
Go down the mountain and cut down trees with your comrades, build roads leading to clay mines and lime collection points, and do other miscellaneous things.
On December 24th, Boss Wei and a comrade were cutting wood at the foot of a hill.
"Boss Wei, do you think this little Liuqiu, no, Taiwan Island is good?"
Boss Wei slashed the fir tree in front of him with his knife and said: "This island is quite good, with sunshine and water, that's all."
Boss Wei slashed at the fir tree again, paused, and said: "It's just too deserted! What?" Boss Wei slashed at the big tree again, "There's nothing there, except that the tree is just a tree. What's this called? This is called transformation."
place!"
"Aren't there savages?"
"Are those savages considered human beings? We can't even say that we will go back after four months of expedition. Then we won't have to stay in this alien land!"
"You will marry a wife when you return?"
"My daughter-in-law, she is a handsome girl from ten miles and eight towns, so she is worthy of me!"
Boss Wei's comrade smiled and said narrowly: "I heard that when you first joined the camp, Boss Wei, you said you would become an officer in one year!"
Boss Wei's face turned red and he stood there speechless for a long time. He slashed the fir tree hard with his knife and said in a deep voice: "I was not sensible at that time."
The two were chopping wood when they suddenly saw smoke rising from the police post to the east.
Soon, the rally horn sounded at the small mountain camp. Boss Wei and his comrades looked at each other, threw away the woodcutter, and ran up the hill.
Boss Wei ran to the camp, where the company commander was already forming his team. Not long after, all the sentries at the police posts ran back. The sentries who lit the smoke and Commander Zheng reported something. Commander Zheng walked over with a serious look on his face.
The soldiers in front shouted loudly: "Shengfan is coming to attack us! Everyone, get into shooting position!"
Boss Wei was not only negligent, he took off the rifle from his back and began to load and load the rifle. After loading the ammunition, he stood behind the trench and prepared to fight.
Three deep trenches were dug outside the camp, and it was expected that the soldiers would not be able to rush up.
Boss Wei waited for half a quarter of an hour before he saw the students appearing at the foot of the mountain.
In twos and threes, those students came out of the woods and stood at the foot of the mountain. They looked at the camp on the top of the mountain for a while and found that there was no danger at the foot of the mountain, so some people ran into the woods, probably to report the situation. After a while
At the meeting, several men wearing colorful hats with long feathers on their heads and stout figures, who were obviously chiefs, came out. Following them, more and more men came out and gathered at the foot of the mountain.
.
Boss Wei quietly grabbed his rifle and waited for the students to gather. Finally, he found that more than two thousand students had arrived.
These Shengfans were seized of land by Li Zhi's men, and all other surrounding tribes were called to help. A large group of Shengfans gathered at the foot of the mountain, which looked quite spectacular.
The students all wore colorful dresses and coarse cloth hats. They held swords and spears in their hands, and they kept shouting when they gathered, as if to encourage the people around them.
After shouting at the foot of the mountain for about a quarter of an hour, the courage of the Shengfans reached its highest peak. A Shengfan chief shouted a few times and pointed his spear towards the top of the hill. The Shengfans grabbed their weapons and headed towards the top of the hill.
Master Huben came over.
At a distance of three hundred or two hundred steps, Boss Wei aimed at a student walking in the front. The student was wearing a round hat with a long feather on his head and looked very strong.
One hundred and forty steps away, Boss Wei's platoon leader shouted loudly: "Fire!"
Boss Wei pressed the trigger and heard a loud snap. Boss Wei's body was pushed back by the recoil. The strong man wearing a feather hat in the distance had blood splatters on his body and fell to the ground.
On the ground.
Mr. Wei laughed, gave up the shooting position on the left, and retreated from the right. He retreated to the last row of the three-row gun formation and loaded the rifle with gunpowder and bullets as quickly as possible.
While Boss Wei was loading the bullet, the two columns in front had finished shooting, and they all walked behind Boss Wei, finally letting Boss Wei move to the front again.
Boss Wei picked up his rifle and this time he aimed at a bare-chested, short man. The man seemed to be stunned by the firepower of the rifle on the mountain. He kept looking left and right at the corpses around him, and it took him a long time to move forward.
A few steps.
"shooting!"
Boss Wei pressed the trigger and held the rifle back with his shoulder, confusing Boss Wei's vision. When Boss Wei looked forward again, he saw that the thick and short raw man had been shot, and he fell down clutching his stomach.
On the way up the mountain.
It seemed as if they were destroyed by Boss Wei's shot. As soon as Boss Wei finished shooting, the two thousand students began to run away. Where had these students fought against such a powerful enemy? They were like a group of frightened goats.
, panicked and collapsed down the hillside.
The chiefs at the foot of the mountain also turned and fled back the way they came. After a while, the two thousand students escaped completely and disappeared into the woods.
The soldiers of the trap group on the top of the mountain burst out laughing when they saw how easy the battle was.
Boss Wei patted the rifle proudly, took out his bayonet and carved a horizontal line on the rifle handle. There was already one horizontal line on it, and with this horizontal line, there were two horizontal lines.
A comrade on the left looked at Boss Wei's gun handle and asked, "Boss Wei, didn't you just kill two of them? Why did you only carve one mark?"
Boss Wei raised his head and said: "Can these Shengban compare with the Tatars? One Tatar has a horizontal line, and three Shengfans have a horizontal line. Killing three Shengfans these days just creates a horizontal line." (To be continued.)
