Two more hours later, the sky finally brightened.

Kuroshima Morita was unwilling to let the main force of the Cavalry Regiment go out at night, but he had no scruples during the day.

As the sky was getting bright, Kuroshima Morita personally led two cavalry squadrons to rush out of the Huting Staff, first establishing a warning position at a distance of five kilometers outside, and then starting a search inch by inch.

The visible conditions during the day are completely incomparable to the nighttime.

No matter how bright the flare is, it cannot reach the level of sunlight.

However, what made Kuroshima Morita unbelievable was that in the circular area from 200 meters to 2,000 meters, more than 300 cavalrymen passed by like sieves, but they still found nothing.

Now even Kuroshima Morita became suspicious.

Could it be that the eighth route of the earth can really fly or escape?

Otherwise, how can I explain what happened these two nights?

Kuroshima Morita turned his attention to another equestrian instructor, Nishitakechi: "Xitakekun, what do you think?"

Xi Zhuyi's eyebrows also twisted into a lump and said in a deep voice: "First of all, one thing is certain, the Tuba Route uses the Type 38 rifle, undoubtedly."

Kuroshima Morita nodded subconsciously.

This has been confirmed from the warhead.

Xizhu Yidao: "The effective range of the Type 38 rifle is nominally only 460 meters, but in fact it is at least 800 meters. However, due to the limitation of human vision, it is difficult to hit the target if it exceeds 500 meters. Only a very small number of people with outstanding shooting talents can hit humanoid targets 500 meters away based on their feelings."

Kuroshima Morita: "The furthest effective score of the Army NCO School is 750 meters!"

"The captain of the regiment is talking about Instructor Onoda? I have heard of him, too." Nishitake nodded and then said, "A top sniper like Instructor Onoda can only hit targets within 750 meters, so it is basically impossible to effectively hit humanoid targets 1,000 meters away. There is no need to say more about it."

Kuroshima Morita said: "That means that the Eighth Route Army must be hiding within 750 meters?"

"I think it must be hidden within 300 meters!" Xizhu shook her head and said, "because the visual conditions at night are much worse than during the day, and the range is at least half shortened."

“Isn’t that the night before yesterday?”

"At that time, the hiding place of Tujia Road was only 200 meters."

Nishitakechi is still very confident about his conclusion.

Kuroshima Morita said: "Then the question is, where did the Tujiao Route Army hide last night?"

While talking, Kuroshima Morita turned his head and stood 1,000 meters away looking back at the Huting stronghold.

Kuroshima Morita's eyes slowly swept through the wilderness outside the stronghold without any attention, and then, without any warning, the old Japanese's gaze suddenly stopped.

"What is that?"

Kuroshima Morita said in surprise.

When Xizhu heard the sound, she turned around and looked in the direction of Kuroshima Morita's finger. She found that there seemed to be an inconspicuous pit about fifty meters away from the Huting stronghold?

"Kinder!" Kuroshima Morita urged his horse to rush forward.

"Uranus!" Nishitakechi also hurriedly urged his horse to follow.

The two of them rode together and soon arrived next to the pit.

Just a glance, Kuroshima Morita and Nishitake were stunned.

Jiro Kuroshima noticed the abnormality and rode his horse from another direction.

After approaching, Jiro Kuroshima saw two shells next to the pit at a glance.

"This is..." Jiro Kuroshima was also surprised and said in disbelief, "The Tsubasa 8th Route Army hid here last night? It was only 50 meters away from the stronghold?"

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Jiro Kuroshima obviously couldn't accept such a result.

"How can you not hear the gunshot at such a close distance?"

Xi Zhuyi explained helplessly: "The muffler can eliminate gunshots."

The muffler was found more than 30 years ago, but it was only if it was rarely used by people on the battlefield.

"Military?" Jiro Kuroshima was stunned and said, "Even if the muffler can silence, what about the muzzle?"

"Idiot, I dare to embarrass people if I don't know anything." Kuroshima Morita couldn't help but curse, "The muffler can not only silence sounds, but also eliminate the muzzle to a large extent!"

"Nani?" Jiro Kuroshima was stunned immediately.

Xizhu said: "But the Tujiaolu actually has a muffler, which is a bit unexpected."

"What was even more unexpected was that this Eighth Route Army has a reverse thinking!" Kuroshima Morita said sternly, "After predicting that we would select the search focus to be 200 meters away, he did not go out, but went the other way, and selected his sniper point within fifty meters closer to the Huting stronghold!"

After saying this, he sighed, "This Eighth Route Army is really not simple."

Nishitake said: "This Eighth Route Army is really difficult to deal with. Should we seek support from Yamamoto's special agent team?"

"Call for help from that guy Yamamoto?" Kuroshima Morita smiled bitterly, "Forget it, that guy won't agree. In his eyes, there are only two targets. Apart from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, there are only Yan Xishan's chief headquarters."

Xizhu said: "In this way, it will be extremely difficult to kill this Eighth Route Army."

"That's not necessarily." Kuroshima Morita said with a grim smile, "With his spear and attacking his shield, the eighth Route Army gave us a lurking lesson through the battle last night, so let's learn it."

Xizhu moved her heart slightly and asked, "What does the team leader mean?"

"That's right." Kuroshima Morita said with a grim smile, "We're also lurking."

...

In Yang Village.

It was evening again when Wang Ye woke up after a sleep.

As usual, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others have eaten, and they all went to night school.

The Eighth Route Army has night schools. After training during the day, they also have to read and recognize words at night.

Li Yunlong used to be no one to take care of him and almost never went to night school, but since Zhao Gang came, the words that the new recruits recognize are more than you do, so Li Yunlong went there obediently.

As usual, the elder of the cooking squad, Wang Ye gave a small meal.

But just after eating, another person came.

The elder of the Supply Department just came back from buying soybeans in another place.

"Uncle Gou? Come on." Wang Ye greeted, "Eat together."

"Is the food good?" Lao Gou said with a smile, "I will benefit you this time."

"Why are you pulling this?" Wang Ye gnawed the white-fried steamed bun and said, "Uncle Gou, do you have a scrapped rifle? For example, a single shot made by Sichuan? Or an old sleeve with smoothed rifle or something."

Lao Gou said: "Originally, but didn't you let Captain Ding and Captain Cheng leave last time?"

"That's it." Wang Ye scratched his head and said, "Then forget it, I'll think of another way."

Lao Gou asked, "Xiao Wang, your Wolf Warrior Team is not short of guns, so why do you want these broken guns?"

"Don't this harass the Japanese at the Huting Staff?" Wang Ye said, "I want to use gunshots to lure the Japanese out, and then hide in the dark to destroy them. If you use a good gun, you can't get it, so you have to break the gun."

Lao Gou said, "Then you look for the landlord Mr. Zhang, who has a broken musket."

"As soon as possible," Wang Ye said happily, "I will give him a rifle after fighting the Japanese."

After saying that, he asked Lao Gou again, "Uncle Gou, isn't this a violation of discipline?"

"Of course this doesn't count." Lao Gou said, "It is natural for you to borrow Mr. Zhang's musket, then kill the Japanese and return him a rifle."

"Uncle Gou, eat slowly."

Wang Ye finished gnawing the steamed bun in a few strokes, and then borrowed the musket from the landlord Mr. Zhang.

Although this musket is a little old, it is well maintained and can at least be fired.

Uncle Zhang was still a little reluctant, but when he heard that he could repay him, he agreed very happily.

Wang Ye borrowed a long bench from Mr. Zhang. After returning to the dormitory, he cut off half of the legs of the two benches. When the long bench was placed on the ground, the bench formed a slope.

Tie the musket to the top of the bench and keep it level.

The firearm trigger is tied to a brick through a wire.

Then brush a layer of vegetable oil on the bench surface, and the entire bench surface becomes smooth.

In this way, the bricks can slide down the smooth stool surface. When they slide out of the stool surface, they will suddenly fall. Then pull the trigger of the musket through the wire, and finally complete the trigger pulling.

In order to ensure that the tiles can slide off smoothly, Wang Ye deliberately polished one side.

After grinding the bricks, Wang Ye tried several times and successfully pulled the trigger each time.

This is how the mechanism is. The simpler the more useful it is, because the fewer components that make up the mechanism, the lower the failure rate.
