After asking the villagers around him to get up, Liu Sheng found out that Yao Jinsheng was not an easy man.

Although he was born in Yaojiabao, he graduated from the gunnery department of Huangpu Branch.

In addition, he previously served as a second lieutenant platoon leader in the Central Army Artillery Regiment, so he is definitely a professional talent.

Yao Jinsheng originally wanted to defect to the Eighth Route Army by recalling his visit to relatives this time. The intrigues within the Central Army, exclusion of dissidents, and inaction made him greatly disappointed in the Central Army.

Naturally, Liu Sheng had no reason to refuse a professional talent like Yao Jinsheng.

Liu Sheng had the confidence to put Yao Jinsheng into the independent group, even though the independent group was already full!

Maybe Li Yunlong has to treat him to a drink!

After hearing that Liu Sheng was a member of the Independent Group, Yao Jinsheng was even more willing to join.

Li Yunlong has a brilliant record and a great reputation. He is honored to join Li Yunlong's independent group!

After confirming that Yao Jinsheng was accepted, Liu Sheng, with the help of the villagers, collected all the weapons and equipment of the Japs, and then threw their corpses into the ravine to feed wild dogs.

After borrowing another mule and carriage, Liu Sheng took Yao Jinsheng and drove the mule and horse back to Zhangcun.

On the other side, Li Yunlong was worrying about artillery support.

During the Battle of Hulu Valley, eight 41-type 75mm mountain guns from the Anti-Gate Regiment were captured, and four were robbed by the brigade commander. The remaining four were used by Li Yunlong to form a mountain artillery battery.

Different from the Type 92 70mm infantry cannon with three or four people, a range of two to three thousand meters, and simple operation, the Type 41 75mm mountain gun has reached the level of a medium-sized howitzer.

The range is twice as long as that of an infantry gun, and its power can even threaten light tanks. However, the difficulty of operating it also increases exponentially.

The original artillery of the independent regiment was simply unable to handle this medium-sized howitzer.

For this reason, Li Yunlong was very troubled. He needed more professional artillery.

But he was unwilling to ask the brigade commander.

If the brigade commander robbed him of these four doors on the pretext that he didn't know how to use them, who would he, Li Yunlong, ask to reason with?

When Li Yunlong was worrying, he heard a burst of noisy cheers outside the door.

He was already irritable, but when he heard these noises again, Li Yunlong directly cursed:

"Damn it, monk, are you deaf? Come out and see if you are howling in the village. Are you not afraid of attracting the little devils?"

Li Yunlong shouted several times, but did not hear Wei Dayong's answer. He was impatient and was about to go out and kick Wei Dayong's ass when he saw Wei Dayong walking in through the curtain.

Wei Dayong said with joy:

"Captain, please go out and take a look. Liu Sheng has seized a large truckload of weapons and equipment and brought back one person!"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong looked unconcerned. Is this Liu Sheng's provocation?

"What's all the fuss about? Isn't it just a truckload of weapons and equipment?"

One with big eyes and one with small eyes looked sideways at Wei Dayong. Li Yunlong curled his lips and said:

"After all, you are also regular soldiers - soldiers of the Independent Regiment. Don't act like you have never seen the world, seizing a few guns and making noises all over the world!

Is it embarrassing? Ah? Can you save some face for us, Li Yunlong?"

Wei Dayong was scolded for his nonsense, but he didn't know where he was wrong.

After looking at Li Yunlong, Wei Dayong said a little aggrievedly:

"Commander, why don't you go out and have a look? Liu Sheng has brought back someone. I heard he graduated from a military academy and was doing artillery..."

Instantly grasping the key words "military academy" and "artillery", Li Yunlong instantly lost his impatience.

He raised his eyebrows, grabbed Wei Dayong's arm, and asked eagerly:

"Tell me clearly, where did the person Liu Sheng brought back graduate from? What does he do?"

Monk Wei just listened for a moment or two. He scratched his head and said thoughtfully:

"Gan is from the artillery, yes, he seems to be the artillery platoon leader! He's from the military academy, Huang, the military academy..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered a treasure, he dropped Wei Dayong and trotted out.

How else could it be the Huangpu Military Academy? It must be the Huangpu Military Academy!

Or the artillery platoon leader...

Talent, talent!

And they are the artillery talents he needs most now!

When he arrived at the scene, Li Yunlong coughed, and the soldiers automatically separated and let him go in, and came to Liu Sheng.

Seeing Li Yunlong, Liu Sheng gave a military salute and then said with a smile:

"Captain, I will find a talent for you!"

Pulling Yao Jinsheng over, Liu Sheng introduced:

"This is Yao Jinsheng from Yaojiabao, a top student who graduated from the artillery department of Huangpu Branch. He previously served as a second lieutenant platoon leader in the artillery regiment of the Central Army."

Pointing at Li Yunlong, Liu Sheng glanced at Yao Jinsheng and said:

"Yao Jinsheng, this is the leader of our independent group, Li Yunlong!"

Yao Jinsheng was very excited. After all, Li Yunlong was his idol.

With his waist straight, Yao Jinsheng took a step forward, gave a standard military salute, and then said loudly:

"The newly formed 69th Division, directly under the Artillery Regiment Second Lieutenant Platoon Commander Yao Jinsheng, has met Commander Li!"

Li Yunlong returned a military salute, then looked him up and down and asked:

"You graduated from Huangpu?"

Yao Jinsheng nodded: "I am a graduate of Class 3 of the 19th Artillery Department of Huangpu WH Branch!"

Li Yunlong nodded and asked again:

"What kind of guns do you know?"

Yao Jinsheng was a little nervous when he saw Li Yunlong starting to take the test. On the way here, Liu Sheng told him that the Independent Regiment had many artillery pieces, allowing him to return to the artillery he was most familiar with.

After thinking seriously, Yao Jinsheng said:

“I have learned infantry artillery, field artillery, mountain artillery, and even heavy howitzers. But the one I am most familiar with is the 75 mountain artillery!

The artillery regiment I was in before was the 75th Mountain Artillery!"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up. He really got what he thought of. He was short of a gunner for the 75 Mountain Cannon, so Liu Sheng found one for him.

He had already made up his mind. If Yao Jinsheng had real information, he felt that he must treat Liu Sheng to a drink!

It’s not that he wants to drink it, it’s mainly to reward Liu Sheng!

Looking at Yao Jinsheng carefully, Li Yunlong said:

"All talk without practice is just a lie! If you want to stay in the independent group, you have to show your skills to us. All we want in the independent group are heroes, and we don't accept free lunch!"

Yao Jinsheng patted his chest and said confidently: "Commander Li, you can try, I will definitely be fine."

Li Yunlong nodded and led everyone to the place where the mountain cannon was stored to watch Yao Jinsheng perform real skills.

Seeing the extremely familiar 75 Mountain Cannon, Yao Jinsheng's eyes lit up and he strolled over.

After patting the barrel, shaking the steering gear, raising and lowering the machine, and even opening the breech to take a look, Yao Jinsheng inspected all four mountain cannons.

If nothing else, it just looks professional.

"Although there is slight wear and tear, the performance of each component is good. They are all good guns!"

After Yao Jinsheng praised him, he began to speak in detail:

"Type 41 75mm mountain gun, total length 4152mm, barrel 1300mm, high and low firing range left -8 degrees + 25 degrees, directional firing range left 3.5 degrees, right 2.5 degrees..."

Although Liu Sheng and Li Yunlong could not understand these professional data, they still felt that it was very powerful.

When Yao Jinsheng had finished speaking, Li Yunlong couldn't wait to ask:
Chapter completed!
