Chapter Ten: The Peerless Twin Jades
"Authorized to fire, open fire!"
"Yes, fire!" Lin Yilong replied loudly and turned to pull the trigger. In an instant, a loud noise echoed through the valley, and an explosion was heard near the target in the distance. Several trees were blown down, and the dust that rose up drifted about 10 meters away. Lin Yilong's face turned red with excitement; he hadn't expected that after countless practices, he still missed the mark.
"Good, well done, very successful, congratulations to Comrade Lin Yilong. You fired the first shot of our army's cannon, this is also the first shot fired by our Anti-Japanese Righteous and Brave Army. Let's all congratulate Comrade Lin Yilong!" Yan Xi Wu announced excitedly, leading the applause with a loud clap, which even drowned out the sound of the cannon explosion just now.
Lin Yilong was so excited that he didn't want to put down his hands, he was too thrilled. To the point where tears were streaming out, everyone was patting each other's shoulders, celebrating excitedly. Looking at the cheering crowd in front of him, the three little guys also jumped up and down with joy, it was great, our first shot had been fired, from now on when our artillery would be firing towards the enemy, it would start from here.
Yu Nong gazed thoughtfully at the nearby grass and trees flying about, constantly writing and drawing. Qin Si Jiao asked curiously: "Yu Nong, what are you doing? This cannon is so powerful, even more deafening than the firecrackers we set off during New Year's celebrations! Look, that tree has been blown into mid-air, haha, if it fell on those devils, it would be magnificent!" As she spoke, she shook her arm.
Yu Nong said helplessly: "Yes, but that requires a good shot to be effective. If it's off the mark, it won't work at all. And if many big guns fire together, it will be lively. The enemy will definitely not be able to withstand it." Upon hearing her response, Qin Si Jiao also pondered how to make the cannon hit its target, which was not as simple as it seemed. Moreover, she suddenly thought that if she hit the enemy, wouldn't they also discover her own cannon? And then wouldn't they blast her own cannon into the sky? The merchant's habit of thinking ahead made her think far into the future, to the point where Yan Ju Fan found himself wondering what was wrong with this little girl.
Upon hearing the bad boy speak, Qin Si Jiao's face turned red with anger and she kicked him hard, causing the inexplicable bad boy to hop around on one leg for half a day. Yu Nong quietly told him about the previous topic of conversation. Yan Ju Fan furrowed his brow in thought for half a day, finding Yu Nong's idea very interesting - if they bound a bunch of cannons together, wouldn't that be able to cover their enemies? A spark of inspiration struck him, and the name "rocket artillery" jumped out from his mind. The bad boy immediately shared his thoughts with Yu Nong, and the little girl's eyes lit up as she exclaimed excitedly: "That's right! If we follow Brother Ju Fan's idea, dozens of cannons firing together would shatter any enemy!" Yan Ju Fan covered her mouth with his hand and whispered in her ear: "Don't make a fuss for now, let's slowly work on it and surprise Father when it's done." However, the bad boy who had just spoken didn't notice that his previous actions had made the young girl blush bright red once again. The little girl felt that Brother Ju Fan was an exceptional person - as soon as she thought of something, he immediately came up with a solution. But apparently, the object of her admiration hadn't noticed at all.
He was explaining to Qin Si Jiao how to use this cannon effectively, after all, although he had no military experience, the advanced media technology of his previous life made everything so simple. Recalling the military movies he saw in his previous life, he explained to the stubborn Miss Qin who was grinding her teeth with the problem of artillery, how to timely transfer and avoid enemy attacks, how to secretly move near the enemy's defense line, how to let different locations The cannon attacked a target together, and some of his own fanciful ideas about intercepting artillery fire and covering artillery fire. Gradually, from one person speaking, it became two people discussing, and later it became Qin Si Jiao analyzing there in an orderly manner, how to more effectively eliminate the enemy, where the cannon should be hidden, and how to coordinate with the infantry's attack.
Yan Jun stared at the little girl who had just scolded him in shock, his heart filled with astonishment. This is what it means to be a genius, he thought to himself. His two younger sisters were both geniuses! If they were properly guided and became generals in the future, there would be no problem at all.
No matter how bad the little guy was, Yan Xi Wu directed the crowd to summarize the experience and lessons of the first artillery shell. The crowd continued to improve their aiming method, and as time passed, from the sixth shot onwards, it became a matter of pointing and shooting. Moreover, the curved firing function of the infantry gun was used by Lin Yidragon with ease. By the end of the eighth shot, there was no need to continue testing. The crowd dismantled the infantry gun with satisfaction, but those who carried the ammunition had to continue suffering. In order to ensure that there were enough test shells, ten shells were brought this time, and as a result, an unlucky soldier had to carry one back. However, considering that artillery shells are now being used up one by one, and new shells may not be available until the next military supply, everyone did not complain.
Yan Jufan specially cooked game and fish for everyone this time. His skilled cooking and unique flavor made everyone feel the charm of the bad boy again. Everyone couldn't help but praise, and each person voted to recommend again, making the two little girls feel honored.
Looking at the jubilant crowd, Yan Xi Wu led the guards to carefully inspect the sentry post, although it was on his own turf and deep in the mountains. However, he still meticulously prepared for any possible situation, a habit that had been cultivated over many years of doing business.
In a large courtyard in Tonglu Village, Zhang Yuntian was presiding over a meeting to summarize the experiences and lessons of this period. This time, it's unknown who helped them, which greatly reduced their losses; otherwise, with Chen Jian's recklessness, everyone present would have sacrificed themselves at the Chen family's shop. He swept his gaze across the crowd, nodding towards Chen Jian: "Comrades, now we're holding a summary meeting of our experiences, both to summarize our achievements and to criticize our lessons. Everyone here has experienced many battles, and many people have participated in the revolution since my party's early days, experiencing many difficulties and setbacks. However, this time we operated behind enemy lines, which is different from fighting on the internal front. We don't have a deep revolutionary foundation here; many people haven't even heard of our party or military, let alone our special forces. As a result, our weapons can't be repaired, ammunition can't be replenished, and even wounded soldiers can't be accommodated. It can be said that we old revolutionaries encountered new problems. In this environment, we persisted in the struggle and achieved many results, such as mobilizing part of the masses to make everyone aware of the loss of their country, resisting rent and taxes, and disrupting the enemy's rule. We also produced various landmines and taught local villagers how to produce them. These are remarkable achievements that deserve recognition."
