1942, I lived on hunting

Captain Li excitedly introduced to Li Hao the magical properties of hairy eggs along the way!

Maodan's family has been hunters for generations. When he was young, his father went out hunting and met with an accident, and his mother remarried. His grandfather raised him and he learned good marksmanship from his grandfather. Two years ago, his grandfather went to the county to sell prey and had a conflict with the Japanese and the traitors of the security group and was killed. He then followed the guerrillas to fight the Japanese and the traitors.

At the beginning, he used a homemade gun left by his grandfather, and Captain Li did not find anything magical about him. Later, when he captured a Type 300 rifle during a battle, his extraordinary qualities began to show. He shot very quickly, and every shot hit the target. Soon his combat ability caught up with the veterans in the company. However, his shooting range was not far at that time. He was very accurate in shooting targets within meters, but it was not good beyond this distance. The Japanese soldiers were also good at shooting, but the -meter range was not an advantage. With his hard training and the careful teaching of the veterans, he soon increased the range to meters, and could shoot wherever he pointed! Now ordinary Japanese soldiers were no match for him.

Li Hao: "Captain Li, have you ever seen a Japanese soldier with a rifle equipped with a monocular telescope?"

Captain Li: "There is such a gun? I have never seen it before."

Li Hao: "This kind of gun is specially used for sniping. It specifically targets our officers, signalmen, and gunners. It is said that during the Battle of Songhu, Chiang Kai-shek's army was badly beaten by this kind of gun! How come you have never seen it?"

Captain Li: "I have never seen it. I have been fighting the Japanese for nearly five years, and I have never seen the rifle you mentioned. Where did you get the information?"

Li Hao thought: This shouldn't be the case! The short video I saw later said that the Japanese army produced and equipped more than 3 sniper rifles, which accounted for almost one percent of the rifles equipped by the Japanese army! Are they not allowed to be used at ordinary times? Are they all piled up in the warehouse? And then they were used to fight Chiang Kai-shek's army and Southeast Asia? Did the Japanese army order that this kind of gun should not be used to fight the Eighth Route Army guerrillas? Otherwise, how could an old soldier who has fought for so many years have never seen this kind of gun? It seems that this short video cannot be trusted!

Li Hao: "I also heard from others that the Japanese army did have this kind of rifle, and that it could accurately hit targets 500 to 600 meters away!"

Captain Li: "So far? Only a very few people in our army can reach this distance. Grenade launchers can't reach it. We can only fight back with mortars or other artillery!"

Li Hao: "That's true!"

Captain Li: "This news is indeed very important. I will have to remind the leaders later. Since the Japanese have it, they will use it one day even if they don't use it now! What if they keep suppressing us with their range and only attack our officers, signalmen and artillery? How can we fight this war?"

Li Hao: "It's not redundant to remind you, just be careful when you need to be."

Captain Li: "It's almost time for dinner. Do you want to go back to the courtyard now? Or should we go to the kitchen to eat?"

Li Hao: "Oh, I'll pack some food and go find Zhang Lianshun and Qiao Dadong. I'll eat at their place and chat with them."

Captain Li: "Then continue to select candidates in the afternoon?"

Li Hao: "Let's talk about it in the afternoon. Not necessarily. I have some things of my own to do."

Captain Li: "Then you go ahead and do your thing first, and we can pick it together when the instructor comes back tomorrow!"

Li Hao: "Okay."

Li Hao separated from the captain, the captain went to the training ground, and Li Hao went to the kitchen.

Li Hao looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he transferred all the money, copper coins and banknotes seized from the puppet army and Lao Bala's family in the space into several pockets on his body. The money that Lao Bala had buried when he was confiscated was still in the space, otherwise it would be difficult to explain the weight of several hundred kilograms! This almost made Li Hao's pants fall off. Then he continued to walk towards the small courtyard where the kitchen team was located, with his pockets full of scraps, making a clattering sound as he walked.

As a result, before I even got to the door, Lao Yang poked his head out of the door to see. As expected of someone in charge of logistics, he was very sensitive to wealth and came over as soon as he heard the movement of money.

Li Hao followed Lao Yang into the house, and then began to take out the things in his pockets one by one and put them on the table. The current monetary policy is too chaotic, and Li Hao has all kinds of money in his pocket. There are legal tender issued by the Kuomintang government, military notes made by the Japanese devils to harm people, Manchuria notes issued by the puppet government, border area coins issued by our party, various silver dollars, copper plates, and even round copper coins with square holes from the Qing Dynasty. A pile of them piled up on the table.

Old Yang watched Li Hao's actions in surprise. Whenever he thought Li Hao was about to finish his money, Li Hao would still take out a few from different pockets. When he finally finished his money, he began to count the number of coins. First, he threw the Japanese military notes aside. No one would use such things unless the Japanese traitors forced them to. Neither merchants nor ordinary people would accept them. Then he sorted out the various coins that could be circulated.

Li Hao didn't have the patience to wait for him to count the money and wanted him to register it himself. He went out to call Zhang Lianshun and Qiao Dadong for dinner, but Lao Yang grabbed him and wouldn't let him leave.

"Don't go. If you leave, I won't be able to explain anything. There has to be a number. Count it in person and enter it into the account in person. Whatever is purchased and how much is spent later also needs to be reconciled."

Seeing how serious Li Hao was, he couldn't leave, so he sat down and waited patiently for him to count. It took a long time before he finished counting. He wrote down a list for Li Hao to check, and then entered it into the account book. He signed both the list and the account book, and then it was considered finished.

Li Hao knew that the paper money would depreciate greatly in the next few years, so he told him to quickly exchange it for other things, preferably kerosene, cloth, candles, matches and other things that are easy to sell. Lao Yang said, "I am more anxious than you. I will send someone to do these things in the afternoon." Then he collected the money and took Li Hao out to eat.

Two thatched sheds were built in the yard, each with some simple long tables and benches made by the guerrillas themselves. The guerrillas could eat here on weekdays. When there were too many people and there was no room to sit, they could get their meals and eat in their own places.

For lunch today I had cornmeal pancakes and noodle soup with cabbage leaves and pumpkin.

Li Hao probably had not eaten it often, but he thought it was delicious. The cornmeal pancake had a sweet aroma of corn, and the pumpkin noodle soup was also delicious, but a little bland, so Lao Yang gave him a plate of pickles, and he slurped the soup.

They were eating when the team came back from training and had lunch. They washed their hands first, then lined up to get food in an orderly manner according to the usual arrangement. After getting food, some people sat directly under the straw shed to eat, while others left with their bowls and lunch boxes. Qiao Dadong and Zhang Lianshun were also queuing up at the back of the team to get food. After getting food, they saw Li Hao there, so they came to find Li Hao with their bowls. While eating, they asked Li Hao about what happened in the morning. When they came, Li Hao had almost finished eating, so they told them a brief story. After waiting for Zhang Lianshun and Qiao Dadong to finish eating, they washed their own bowls and put away their chopsticks, and sat at the table to continue the previous topic.

The kitchen staff started eating after everyone had basically finished eating. There were six people in the kitchen staff, including Lao Yang, only one of them was a little younger, and the others were middle-aged. Three of them had varying degrees of disability, the most serious one had lost half of his left calf, and one had his eye wrapped in a cloth.
