"Others can't use it, but I can use it." They didn't understand what unit of measurement they were explaining, so they just said they could use it. "Old Uncle Wu, find someone to go to the river beach and call Xu Dacheng over. He can also use the cannon.
"
After Uncle Wu rushed away happily, Zhou Wen went into the warehouse again and looked carefully at the scrap metal and guns all over the room.
Zhou Wen's mercenary group in his previous life was a very small one, with only six people. He had limited financial resources and could not afford those high-end weapons, so he learned to modify guns. The sniper rifle he used was modified by himself, and he was considered a modification master.
.
Now I'm digging around inside, and I don't mind getting my hands dirty. I picked out a few broken guns and took them outside to the sunshine for a closer look.
Suddenly I heard a slight noise next to me. When I looked up, I saw a little girl standing next to me obediently looking at me.
He is eight or nine years old, not tall and thin. But his watery eyes are smart and innocent. He has two neatly braided pigtails on his head. He is wearing a blue floral dress and blue cloth trousers with two patches on them.
On her feet is a pair of floral shoes.
Zhou Wen looked at her, and she looked at Zhou Wen quietly. Her big eyes were curious, a little shy, and a little timid, as if she was afraid of scaring away the person in front of her.
Zhou Wen was suddenly touched by her eyes, and a heartstring deep in his heart was touched. Sister, his own sister also looked at him like this when she was a child.
Zhou Wen had a sister in his previous life, and the brother and sister had a deep relationship. Unfortunately, she fell ill and passed away before she became an adult. This was also the reason why Zhou Wen later left home to join the army.
Zhou Wen's eyes looked at her from unfamiliar to peaceful, and then gradually became friendly, and his eyes began to feel a little moist.
"Brother, why are you sad? Can you please stop crying?" Children are very innocent, so their feelings are also very keen.
"No, no, my brother is blinded by gray."
"Then let me blow it for you. I'm the best at blowing it." Children are very innocent, so they are easy to deceive.
The little girl came over and pouted, so Zhou Wen had no choice but to squat down and let her blow. "Huhu!" The little girl blew hard, and Zhou Wen also tried hard to keep his eyes open.
"Okay, brother is fine. Little sister, what's your name? How old are you?" Zhou Wen gently pulled down her hand and asked softly.
"My name is Hongxiu, and I am nine years old this year. Big brother, what are you doing?" A child's curiosity conquers everything.
"Brother is repairing the gun." "Is this a gun? Why is it so dirty and not good-looking at all?"
Two figures, one large and one small, squatted on the ground in the sun, asking questions and answering questions...
"Awen, where is the cannon?" A discordant voice broke the tranquility, and Xu Dacheng was seen rushing in. Hong Xiu was a little timid, so he naturally hid behind Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen gently held her hand and comforted her, "It's okay, this is brother Dacheng. He is impatient, so he runs like a bear.
"Giggle!" Hongxiu laughed happily, looked at Xu Dacheng and said, "Then can I call you Brother Xiong?" The little girl is also vindictive. Who made you scare her just now?
Xu Dacheng glared and was about to say no, but Zhou Wen looked over with a murderous look, so he could only laugh and said: "Okay, okay, little sister, you can call me whatever you want."
"Brother Xiong." "Hey." "Brother Xiong." "Hey." Xu Dacheng was about to cry.
After the two had laughed enough, Zhou Wen asked Xu Dacheng to take down the tool bag hanging on the gun mount and began to teach him how to dismantle the gun.
Hongxiu didn't interrupt or leave, she just squatted on the ground and watched the two people busy.
After dismantling the cannon, Xu Dacheng asked Xu Dacheng to clean the various parts, and explained to him the use of the aiming device, the formula for converting feet, etc. After that, he was left to figure it out on his own.
Then he walked to Hong Xiu and knelt down and said, "Hong Xiu, do you know how to read?"
"Yes, I know a lot of words. Mom taught me them all."
"Come and use this iron bar to write a few words for your brother to read."
When getting along with children, you must give them the opportunity to show off their abilities. Zhou Wen cherishes such opportunities. It is like going back to the time he spent with his sister in the past.
Good times are always short-lived. Wang Huzi and Old Uncle Wu also came. Without saying anything, they walked up to Xu Dacheng and watched him play with it.
Hong Xiu said goodbye to Zhou Wen obediently, "Brother, will you come again in the future?"
"Yes, for sure."
"Will you come tomorrow?"
"Come tomorrow. If Hong Xiu likes it, my brother will come as soon as possible."
"Goodbye, big brother, my dad is here."
Zhou Wen saw Mr. Zhou coming over. He looked at Wang Huzi and Old Uncle Wu and nodded in greeting. He stretched out his hand and held the red sleeve and said to Zhou Wen: "Thank you, little brother. My little girl is naughty. Is she not in your way?"
"It's okay, Mr. Zhou, don't be so polite. Just call me Awen. Hongxiu is very well-behaved. I promised to visit her often in the future. I hope Mr. Zhou doesn't mind."
"I don't mind, I don't mind, as long as I don't delay you. Let's go back first, you are busy, you are busy." After saying that, he took Hongxiu and turned back to the house. Hongxiu turned back and said goodbye to Zhou Wen again.
After they left, Wang Huzi asked: "Little scholar, is this cannon really useful?"
"Captain, how many times have I told you, just call me Awen. This cannon is generally usable, but you have to fire it once to be sure. Oh, by the way, where are the shells?"
"In the ammunition depot, over there at the regiment headquarters." The emotional ammunition depot is located at the regiment headquarters, and there is no fear of a fire or explosion that will destroy the regiment headquarters. It's really a trick, and it has to be guarded even when sleeping. Zhou Wen looked at Wang Huzi with disdain.
.
Zhou Wen thought for a while and said: "Well, let's take care of the cannon today. After breakfast tomorrow, we will go to the river to test the cannon. Also, I saw a lot of broken guns in the scrap warehouse today. Please ask Mr. Zhou to give me the key to the warehouse. This
I'll take a few people to clean it up in a few days.
I feel like it's possible to repair many of the guns. I'll give it a try. Is there a blacksmith in the village?"
Wang Beard and Old Uncle Wu’s jaws dropped to the floor again.
"You know how to repair a gun? Can you really repair a gun?" Zhou Wen was unhappy and a smile appeared on his face.
Wang Huzi immediately rushed to say: "I believe it, I believe it, and I will do as you say."
Your forehead is sweating and you don't dare anymore. The old man doesn't dare anymore. He just hesitated a little last time and put the gun on your waist. Those young men said they didn't believe it, and now they have sold their whole body to you.
"Well, little scholar, is there anything else you can't do?"
"Have a baby."
Plop!
The next morning, Wang Huzi and Old Uncle Wu came to the river beach. Zhou Wen and Xu Dacheng were manipulating the artillery. The shell boxes were placed beside them. The whole guard company stood neatly behind.
Zhou Wen has already figured out that this is a Russian-made 82mm caliber mortar. The person operating the mortar today is Xu Dacheng. This guy was burning oil last night and has already memorized the essentials of operation. He must encourage his dedicated research spirit.
Zhou Wen served as the deputy gunner and handed him the shells. The target was a wooden stick with a red cloth inserted about 700 meters away. Xu Dacheng's expression was unprecedentedly focused. He stretched out his thumb to measure the range, adjusted the muzzle and aiming.
Tool.
Then he took a deep breath and said: "Cannonball." Zhou Wen handed over the cannonball, and Xu Dacheng caught it. He brought the cannonball to the muzzle with both hands, relaxed his hands lightly, and lowered his body.
"Boom!" With a sound, the cannonball shot into the sky with everyone's hope.
