Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 142 The decisive battle in southwest Guizhou ([-])
Li Ershui carried his flintlock rifle and followed the team up a hill. He touched his rifle and felt that he no longer loved it so much.

The reason is that Li Ershui saw the M104 rifles of the soldiers of the 1th regiment in the barracks a few days ago. He found that this rifle only needs to stuff the bullets into the trigger from the back, and then fire directly. After cleaning the barrel a little, it can shoot again.It's not like the fire stick in his hand. You have to stuff the ammunition pack and projectiles into the barrel, and use the iron plug to tighten it. After you shoot, you have to clean the barrel hard. The rate of fire can't be compared with the M1.And Li Dishui also found that the accuracy of M1 is better than his rifle.

I heard from their instructor that after this battle, their fourth division will be able to switch to M1 rifles in the future.But now Li Ershui thought about something else, because he also saw the M2 heavy machine gun. After he started shooting, the bullets could create a real barrage, and no living people could get close at all.Ever since Li Ershui saw M2, he felt that he really had a chance to get the land promised by His Royal Highness, and return to his hometown to live a good life.

He is from Guangxi, and he was drawn into the Ming army by Latin Zhuang Ding.After losing the battle, he became the Qing army, then the Ming army, and then the Qing army again. In Burma, he habitually surrendered, and this time he became the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army.

Like many defected soldiers like him, Li Dishui stayed in the training base for several months, not only to learn new weapons and tactics, but also to receive ideological education every day, which made Li Dishui feel that he was very different. , in the night school at the training base, Li Ershui learned to write about a hundred characters, and he already considers himself a cultural person.

Li Ershui now pays attention to decency in everything. The instructor said that our Ming Dynasty Restoration Army is different from those military households in the old days. When we see anyone, we don't have to bend down and kneel, just salute.In society, soldiers defend their homes and the country and have a high status.Li Ershui has learned a lot of rules, and feels that he is no less than a scholar in the village before, a decent person in Ming Dynasty, and the backbone of society.

Li Dishui didn't understand what these meant at the beginning, but now he gradually understands.

Someone patted Li Ershui on the shoulder, and Li Ershui realized that it was his comrade-in-arms Han Dalei.Han Dalei was half a head taller than Li Ershui, with a strong build and a northern accent. He said he was from Shandong, but he didn't have any Shandong accent.Li Ershui has never been to the north, so he doesn't know what kind of Shandong accent it is, but Han Dalei has always spoken official dialect.

"Ershui, Guangxi has been captured, and you may be able to return to your hometown in a short time. How many levels have you accumulated in your military exploits? Can you exchange a few more acres of land?"

Li Ershui is very dull, but he is not bad with Han Dalei.

"If we can get more than ten acres, my family will definitely not be able to cultivate it. I am thinking about selling it or handing it over to the cooperative." Li Ershui has seen the newly established cooperative in Yunnan, and he thinks it is not bad.

Han Dalei smiled and said: "At first you kept saying that you didn't want to be a soldier anymore and wanted to go home and farm. Now it seems you don't want to go back to farm."

"Yes, my parents are gone. I have two brothers who starved to death during the war. I don't know what happened to my uncle's house. I don't know where my home is when I go back to my hometown." Li Ershui was silent, he remembered The most iconic girl in the village, she had seen her for the last time before she was pulled by a strong man. I don't know if she is married and has a child now, or if she dies and dies.

Li Dishui added: "It doesn't matter, I want to be a city resident, and when I am demobilized, I can learn a craft and get a job."

This was a life that Li Ershui never dared to imagine before, but now he has come into contact with many things.The barracks is a big melting pot, and the Zionist Army is completely different from the army he stayed in before.Everyone is always communicating here, the instructors and political commissars are always promoting various things, and Li Ershui has also learned a lot.

Han Dalei patted him on the back, and said: "Your skill, the company commander praised you, the guns of our company must be well repaired in your hands. I see, you might as well go to the arsenal or something."

"Let's talk about it, let's watch as a soldier first." Li Ershui said.

Their company of soldiers was sent to this mountain to build their own positions.Li Ershui has also fought many battles and has become more and more knowledgeable. He told Han Dalei: "This place in Guizhou is really tossing people to death, but although this valley is chaotic, but now the master is arranged on different mountains. Without the cross firepower, whichever mountain the Qing army wants to attack, they will have to face our multiple firepower double-teaming. I watched this battle, and tens of thousands of people were killed and killed."

"Okay, Ershui, there is progress." Han Dalei smiled.

In fact, he is a system mercenary, and his ability to fight is much better than that of Li Ershui.

The Ming army began to set up defense lines on different high grounds. These hills are not high, but they are intricate. The Ming army spent more than a day surveying the situation and another day to arrange them. Now they have formed flat trenches and high ground. Cross-firing points, complement each other, offensive and defensive situational pattern.

Bai Mingxiu's front finger was also placed on a small high ground, five or six miles away from the front line.

You Long looked at the line drawing made by the front finger, and praised: "Your Highness, I don't believe that you are a soldier who became a monk halfway. I saw you fighting in and out of Tianzhou City before. Now I see what you do Position, I can’t help but sigh, talent is really powerful.”

Bai Mingxiu curled his lips and said, "Why didn't you see it when I read and studied these things at night before, I don't know if I have talent, but as far as I work hard, if such a front can't be built, I also don’t have the confidence to lead the troops out by myself.”

In the past, Bai Mingxiu relied more on the officers of the system's mercenaries for command and arrangements, but now at the campaign level he can already make some arrangements and give very valuable instructions.He is never opinionated, but fully listens to the opinions of others.

At this moment, Ma Zouri also ran back and reported back: "Zhao Butai's army is almost here, and there will be contact in about 30 miles. Some of our forward positions have not yet been built. Some artillery pieces have not yet been completed. When I came here just now, the rope for pulling the cannon on the 72nd height broke, and some civilians were injured."

Bai Mingxiu asked to build simple fortifications in some highlands, which naturally took some time.

"It's too late to make complete preparations, so let's do whatever we can. Alas, it's a pity that we don't have mortars. The current portable artillery is still a bit heavier."
