In the next three days, "bang bang" gunshots were heard every day on the beach south of the camp. This was Wang Yuanfang and the others getting familiar with the firearms.
The refugees gradually became familiar with this voice, and no one shouted "The general has sent troops to arrest us" anymore.
Katsu Kaishu and seven others went to see it once, and they were all frightened by the power of this new type of continuous iron cannon. Especially Jiuzang, who practiced martial arts the hardest, he realized that the sword in his hand was completely vulnerable to this weapon.
, then wouldn’t all my hard work these days have been in vain?
Zhao Xin doesn't dare to let Sheng Haizhou and the others get access to guns yet. Who knows what will happen to these islanders after they get powerful weapons. He doesn't want to put his life on these people yet.
However, Zhao Xin knew that if Wang Yuanfang and the others continued to fight like this, the bullets would not be able to keep up. He only bought a total of 30,000 rounds of rifle ammunition. If he had known that, he would have multiplied it ten times. It seems that he will have to go there again.
Across the ocean.
The most painful thing for people like Li Ji was the Chinese class that Zhao Xin opened on the third day after arriving.
Zhao Xin didn't dare to call more people. Counting the Seven Samurai, he only found twenty people to teach the class for the first time. He didn't have any teaching materials in his hand, so he just stood in front of twenty people and opened his mouth. What he taught first was
These people learn to read their own names.
What an honor it is to be taught by the lord. The refugees are discussing this matter privately, and are extremely envious of the thirteen extra people who were selected. Most of these thirteen people have worked as craftsmen.
For example, carpenters, charcoal burners, people who can weave straw mats... There is no way, there are too few refugees now, and there are even fewer men, so Zhao Xin can only call those who can weave straw mats.
There was also Wan Zao's son. Zhao Xin named the child Wan Haiyang. This moved Wan Zao and his wife to tears, saying that they had never seen any feudal lord give a name to the peasants below.
of.
Zhao Xin laughed and scolded them both: "You are really worthless. You are farmers, and you want your snot-nosed son to be a farmer all his life?"
Wan Zao's wife looked at Zhao Xinda with wide eyes: "Isn't this what it should be?"
Therefore, Wan Haiyang reluctantly gave up his free life every day and went to class with his father after breakfast every day. As long as he dared to sneak away, Wan Zao's wife would soon be beaten with a stick until he cried like a wolf, and finally
I returned to class with tears and sniffles.
As for A Miao, when Zhao Xin was in class, she held Duofu the tabby cat and sat aside and followed suit.
A few days later, Wang Yuanfang and the others wore all-terrain tactical camouflage uniforms every morning and began running with heavy loads. In order to save his life, Zhao Xin could only run with heavy loads. After finishing the exhausting run, he ate breakfast and returned.
You have to continue taking classes.
However, after living such a regular life for several consecutive days, Zhao Xin felt that his physical strength had improved a lot.
After dinner every morning, Wang Yuanfang and the six of them began restorative military training. If there was a shortage of venue equipment, Zhao Xin would arrange for carpenters to do it. Anyway, the wood piled outside the camp was enough for them to work on.
The Spring Festival is coming soon, and Zhao Xin estimates that Yalha will come again before the first month. But if he is not prepared, it will be bad for him to hear the gunshot.
With Wang Yuanfang and the six of them training in the camp every day, Zhao Xin decided to send someone out to investigate. He ordered Mosuke and Torayoshi to take two people with them, and at dawn the next morning, they set off west from the camp to
Check everything twenty miles away.
It wasn't until dark that day that the four men came back and reported that they only found Yalha's footprints and horse hoof prints along the way, not even a human figure.
Zhao Xin was still uneasy, so he launched a drone at noon the next day to explore the entire island again.
Under Liu Sheng's operation, half an hour later, traces of a fire were found in the middle and northwest of Bear Island, and even a straw shed made of tree branches was seen.
"Pull closer and take a closer look." Wang Yuanfang and others surrounding him said quickly.
Liu Sheng zoomed in on the camera and found that the empty thatched shed was quite large and could accommodate at least three or four people. The fire outside the thatched shed had been extinguished, leaving only ashes.
"Isn't this where the hunters who came to the island live?" Zhao Xin thought it was possible, but he probably couldn't figure out the reason because of language communication problems with Yalha.
By this time, the entire island had been seen, and the battery of the drone was almost running out of power, so Liu Sheng had no choice but to take the drone back.
Wang Yuanfang watched Zhao Xin mark the location of the hay shed on the map, and then said to Zhao Xin: "Give me the map, and I will take a few of them over tomorrow to have a look. By the way, it's a training session."
"Brother Wang, you have to be careful. There are bears on this island, and maybe there are also tigers and wild boars."
"Yes, Zhao Xin and I saw bears before we went to the island for the first time. There were two big bears, two small ones, and four bears." Liu Sheng added quickly.
"Don't worry, we'll bring our guns. Everyone, be careful along the way. This will have to be done sooner or later." Wang Yuanfang meant that he couldn't always stay near this camp, and it was time to go out and check the situation on the island.
Wang Yuanfang decided to let Ding Guofeng, Deng Fei and Liu Sheng go with him to investigate the situation, while the others stayed behind, but the other two also wanted to go.
Okay, come on. Zhao Xin told them to stay as far away as possible without shooting, so as not to alarm the people in the fishing village to the north.
The six people set out early the next morning before dawn.
According to the map, they first walked northeast for more than five miles, then climbed up a small hill northeast of the camp and followed the ridge of the hills to the north. The highest hill here was only more than 200 meters high, and from this hillside
Go down and you'll find the location where you found the hay shed yesterday.
Wang Yuanfang and the others slowed down when they were going down the mountain. This place has been uninhabited for a long time, and the forest on the hillside is very dense. Although it is already winter, the large area of fir trees is still green.
They haven't performed a mission together for many years, and they have been away from the army for so long, so their cooperation is inevitably a bit unfamiliar. This time everyone came out together to gradually regain the feeling and constantly get in touch with each other.
These six people were divided into two three-three groups, with Deng Fei, Wang Yuanfang and Liu Sheng on the left, and Zhao Liang, Wu Siyu and Ding Guofeng on the right.
In Wang Yuanfang's group, Deng Fei is walking slightly ahead. Wang Yuanfang is five meters behind him on the left, and Liu Sheng is five meters behind him on the right, so that the three of them form a herringbone.
Inclined search formation. The purpose of this is to make it easier to disperse left and right to search for targets. Once an emergency occurs, they will move closer to fight. Of course, if it is a two-person team, they will march one behind the other. As for Zhao Liang's team,
They were ten meters apart from Wang Yuanfang. In this way, the two groups formed an oblique tactical team.
This is just a tactical formation in the cold temperate mountains and forests. If it is a glacier and snowfield area, it is to advance in a column, whether it is straight, diagonal or horizontal, the same linear movement is done five meters apart to facilitate each other.
They can echo each other.
Wang Yuanfang and the others are feeling nervous and excited at the same time. As former veterans, they can finally engage in their favorite profession again.
At this time, the most prominent one, Deng Fei, suddenly squatted down and made a fist gesture. The other five people immediately squatted down. Deng Fei turned around slightly and gestured to everyone.
Everyone understood that the target was found ahead. So after standing up, they stepped more lightly and slowly moved towards the target.
In the hut, Lu Shoushan was looking worriedly at Pan Xiucheng and his two children who were playing tricks in front of him. Xu Funan was also sick and had a high fever.
Yesterday at noon, four people who were warming themselves by the fire accidentally saw a strange bird floating in the distance. The escape life these days made them very nervous, and they would immediately hide and hide at the slightest sign of trouble.
So Lu Shoushan quickly extinguished the fire with earth and hid in the thatched shed. Later he saw the strange black bird flying towards their thatched shed, so Lu Shoushan took the other three people and hid nearby.
In a cramped rock cave.
It wasn't until dark that they emerged from the cave.
Pan Xiucheng had been ill for many days, and Lu Shoushan had no good solution. All he could do was to pull out a lot of hay and spread it on Pan Xiucheng's body; he also found more dry branches and branches to keep the hay shed.
The fire outside will not go out.
Xu Funan's arm was cut by a tree branch when they went to the fishing village to steal food a few nights ago. Now it's as swollen as a steamed bun. He started to have a fever the day before yesterday, and when he came out of the cold cave, he had a fever.
It's even more powerful.
As for his younger brother Xu Shounan, he stayed beside his elder brother and covered his forehead with his cold hands.
"Uncle Lu, I'm hungry." Xu Shounan turned his head and said to Lu Shoushan eagerly.
All the ginseng seeds were eaten before arriving on the island. The four of them had been relying on frozen fish stolen from the fishing village and a small bag of sorghum to survive in the past few days. And they had finished eating these things yesterday.
Lu Shoushan sighed and said to Xu Shounan: "Master Shounan, be good and hold on for a while. When it gets dark, I will go to the village to find food for you."
After Lu Shoushan finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the hayloft. He stood outside the hayloft, facing south, and knelt on the ground. He choked and said, "Master, madam, I'm sorry for you."
When Xu Shounan in the hayloft heard Lu Shoushan's cry, he ran out of the hayloft, threw himself on Lu Shoushan, and cried: "Uncle Lu, stop crying! I'm not hungry anymore, I'm not hungry anymore!"
"
Lu Shoushan cried and said: "Master Shounan, I'm sorry for you!"
When the two of them were holding each other's hands and crying, the leaves around them shook, and with the sound of slight footsteps, six people suddenly appeared from behind the tree, surrounding the straw shed, Lu Shoushan and the others.
Lu Shoushan heard the rustle of leaves and looked up suddenly, and saw the people in front of him wearing clothes he had never seen before, with bulging bodies; they wore hats on their heads that looked like they were tied with leaves or rags, and their faces were covered
Wearing a mask, only his two eyes were exposed; he was holding a strange iron tool in his hand, with the pipe opening on the iron tool facing him.
