War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 73: Mountain Field (Thanks to the 'book friend' for the reward!)

"Brother, I just tried it. Why can't the 6.5 bullets we stole from the Japanese be loaded into the Type magazine?"

In the forest, Xu Chaoyang, who had led his men over the mountain, glanced at Liu Gener and explained, "Japan is a small country with limited resources. Even the pheasant necks made by imitating the French Hotchkiss heavy machine guns are very stingy. They use 6.5 bullets, while the caliber of the Hotchkiss is 8."

"Later, the Japanese felt the insufficiency of the caliber during the war, so they developed the 7.7-caliber Type ."

"Don't you realize that these two guns look like a pair of sticks, with almost no difference?"

"So, here, these two machine guns are called Pheasant Neck. The Type 92 is just different from the Type 3 in rear handle and has some enhanced accessories."

Liu Gener nodded as if he understood. Qu Yong immediately stood up and said, "Anyway, I feel that the neck of the new pheasant I bought is not very useful. There is a big lump on the back of the buttocks, and it is uncomfortable to use..."

Xu Chaoyang suddenly stopped and turned to look at Qu Yong: "Is there a big bump on your butt?"

"Of course." Qu Yong replied, "A small butt came out of the big bag, with a lens on it and two iron plates..."

After listening to Qu Yong's description, Xu Chaoyang immediately asked, "Scope?"

He could only think of the scope, but he couldn't figure out why the Japanese put the scope on the Type 92. As for the two iron pieces mentioned by Qu Yong, they should be knobs. Such knobs are usually used to adjust the windage on the side and the scale on the top. Could it be that the Japanese were so confident in their machine guns that they planned to use the Type 92 to shoot beyond the target?

Why did Xu Chaoyang remember that there was no scope on the neck of the pheasant he seized for the first time?

"Captain, we're here."

While others were chatting, Tong Meng pointed forward and a dense jungle appeared between the mountains in front of him. The density of the forest was as if it had received the most unique blessing from heaven and earth. There was no other forest around that could grow better than this one.

"Go and explore."

After getting Xu Chaoyang's permission, Tong Meng walked into the woods. Not long after he went in, he smelled the smell of sawdust coming from breaking wood.

The forest was full of strong men with well-developed muscles, and most of them were shirtless.

"Hey!"

bump!
"Hey!"

bump!
Two strong men were standing under a big tree that took three people to hug, swinging their axes, one on the left and one on the right, at the same gap in the tree trunk. Sweat covered their skin, as if it was covered with a layer of oil, and a few drops of sweat fell off every time they exerted force.

"Is Chang Baotou always here?"

Tong Meng found a man with a kind face and seemed easy to talk to and asked him a question.

The man was wearing only a pair of pants, with his upper body completely naked. He had long hair that hadn't been trimmed for a month. He turned around and responded, "Oh, these days, a fair-looking guy like you is trying to break into the mountains?"

Shanchangzi is another name for a forest farm. In the era when mechanization could not enter the deep mountains and forests, people relied on hard work to cut wood from the mountains, waited for the Songhua River to open up, and then risked their lives to go down the river and transport the wood out by rafting.

"I'm looking for Chang Baotou. I have something to ask."

The kind-looking man muttered, "Oh, what kind of situation must these Japanese have pushed you to in order to make a weak person like you run here and risk your life."

"Come with me."

Not everyone can do the work in the mountain area. Here, you not only have to cut down trees, but also carry the cut trees away. It is purely manual transportation. Two people tie a rope to a wooden stick, put the wood on their shoulders, hold the wood with a rope, and carry it to the destination. They still walk on the mountain road. In the past, people who came to work in the mountain area were desperate people, either wanted by the government or really couldn't survive. So in such a place, anything can happen. Whether you can make money and whether you can take the money out after making money depends on yourself.

Every month when the monthly salary is distributed is the most dangerous time.

This is why that person was so surprised when he saw Tong Meng, a guy who looked like a scholar.

He felt that they were not of the same kind.

Tong Meng waved towards the distance, and Xu Chaoyang and his men followed. As they climbed higher and higher on the mountain, rows of wooden houses built against the mountain appeared before them.

There was a hide rack in front of the wooden house, with roe deer skins and deerskins everywhere on the rack, and half a pig spread out on a table, a wild boar.

"Old Chang?"

"Old Chang!"

"Someone is looking for me."

In front of the table, a man in his forties was chopping vegetables with a kitchen knife. He was not wearing an apron, and his clothes were greasy and shiny in the sun.

"Tell the King of Hell that I won't go today because I have something to do at home."

"The King of Hell is looking for you. Can I come and greet you? Could it be the Black and White Impermanence? Seriously, someone is really looking for you."

Only then did he raise his head.

Xu Chaoyang watched the man raise his head and saw an inverted triangle face with a chin as sharp as a cone. However, his face exuded ferocity from the inside out. No wonder he even dared to play a joke on the King of Hell.

That's right, if there is no such person to keep order in a place like a mountain area, ordinary people really can't control it.

"Uncle Chang, it was Boss Wang of Bingcheng who asked us to come here."

Tong Meng came over, said this, and then took out a fountain pen from his pocket.

When the man saw the pen, he first smiled, then unscrewed the cap, saw the severely worn nib, and asked, "Is he okay?" It was as if he had met an old friend.

"Everything is fine. Boss Wang asked you to arrange a place for us to stay."

Chang Baotou then glanced behind Tong Meng. When he saw the second sister, Hua'er and the other women, he immediately said, "Men can stay, but women cannot stay here. Not to mention women, even someone as delicate and tender as you cannot stay here."

"Why?" Tong Meng was still asking, but Xu Chaoyang answered for Chang Baotou: "If there are women in the mountain farm, men will have no heart to work, and then there will be chaos."

Xu Chaoyang is from Northeast China. He understands the Northeast and has heard many old people talk about things in the mountains.

After the women appeared in this place, the men would go out of the union and go out in groups to look for women for entertainment, but the final result was that these tiger men threw all the money they earned in a whole year on the whores. In the end, they became more and more angry, and before leaving the mountain, they found a group of people to rob all the women, causing big trouble;
Another version is that after the men in the mountains found women, their legs were so shaky when they went to work the next day that they couldn't do any work at all. Finally, the boss got angry and drove all the women out of the mountain.

Anyway, the head of the mountain farm never allows women to exist in his territory. If someone gets hurt because of jealousy, they can't go to work the next day, delaying the progress, which is a big trouble...
