    The train rumbled forward, leaving Baoding Railway Station and heading south.

    Dai Caixi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her eyes were already a little red and swollen.  She couldn't remember the last time she cried so sadly, but this time, she was really extremely sad.

    At this time, her sister Dai Hanling stretched out her little hand, pulled Dai Caixi's palm and said: "Sister, eldest brother asked me to give you a letter, saying that I can't give it to you until the train leaves."

    With that said, Dai Hanling took out a neatly folded letter from his small bag.

    Dai Caixi took the letter with some surprise, then opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

    The words written in the letter are very short.

    "If the Anti-Japanese War is victorious one day, I am lucky enough not to have sacrificed my life for the country, and Miss Dai has never been married. I will look for you across thousands of mountains and rivers, to the ends of the earth and to the ends of the earth!"

    When Dai Caixi saw the words in the letter, her heart ached.  She picked up her pen and wrote a reply on the letter.

    "I'm going to Jinling. If my mother forces a marriage, I'll match Caixi to someone else. I'll come to find you across thousands of mountains and rivers, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the earth."

    After writing this sentence, Dai Caixi carefully put the letter away.  Then he put a strand of his black hair inside the envelope.

    She stood up, walked to the captain of the guard escorting her and said, "Captain Zhang, after you complete your mission and return to Baoding, please give this letter to Captain Xia Yangxia."

    The captain of the guard is a confidant of Commander Feng and has a good impression of Xia Yang.  At this time, Dai Caixi, whose eyes were a little red and swollen, handed the letter into his hands, and he could roughly guess the content of the letter.

    Captain Zhang smiled, took the letter into his hands, and then said: "Don't worry, Miss Dai. When I send you to Wuchang, I will return to Baoding City and I will personally hand this letter into the hands of Captain Xia."

    Dai Caixi smiled gratefully, sat back in her seat, and looked out the car window.  There is an endless wilderness, the autumn harvest time is coming soon, and the wheat there is golden in color.

    When next autumn comes, will she be able to see Xia Yang again?

    Dai Caixi doesn¡¯t know the answer to this question, and she doesn¡¯t want to know either.

    After sending Dai Caixi away, Xia Yang put away his sad mood.  After all, he is the leader of the Fourth Regiment, and he still needs to fight to resist Japan and save the country, but he cannot get back on his feet just because of these family-friendly things.

    After walking out of the train station, Xia Yang went to the military headquarters.  The four mortars that Commander Feng promised to give them are still there, and of course he will not forget this.

    No matter what, if their regiment can be equipped with these mortars, their frontal firepower will be greatly improved when fighting against the Japs.  After all, the range and power of mortars are not comparable to grenades.

    But when Xia Yang ran to the military headquarters, he realized a problem. Although there were four mortars, they only had two boxes of mortar shells.

    There are twelve mortar shells in one box, and the two boxes add up to only twenty-four.  If there was a fight with the little devil, and a few rounds of volleys were fired, the shell box would be bottomed out, so what the hell would it be like?

    The military staff officer in charge of the handover also said helplessly: "Commander Xia, this is not because our military headquarters is making trouble for you. You can ask the military commander whether our mortars captured the little Japanese and the shells  It was also transferred from their side. But there are only a few boxes of shells in total, and some were lost during the retreat, so it would be good to have two boxes left."

    When Hu Sanyi heard this, he almost jumped up.

    He pointed at the four mortars and said: "That's nonsense! Two boxes of artillery shells disappeared after a few swishes. How about we use the mortars as brooms to fight with others? Without the shells, these are four large bombs."  Fire sticks!"

    Xia Yang frowned slightly as he looked at the four Taisho 11-type 70mm mortars.

    He knows something about this kind of mortar. Among the Japanese, its name is "Current Infantry Cannon" and it is the standard equipment of the Japanese army.  When they were besieged outside Peiping City, the little Japanese on the opposite side used this kind of mortar bombardment to make them unable to lift their heads.

    The maximum range of this mortar can reach more than 1,500 meters, although because the caliber is only 70mm, it is not particularly powerful.  But it is light in weight, easy to carry, and cheap to make, so it is widely equipped by the Japanese army.

    What worries Xia Yang now is that although they have this kind of mortar, the shells used in this kind of mortar can only be captured from the Japanese.

    Could it be that Xia Yang also took people and ran to the Japanese garrison in Beiping City?Next, steal a few boxes of shells and come back?

    Xia Yang thought of the "Huangsha Hundred Battles System" but in his impression, in the Huangsha Hundred Battles System, all heavy weapons, including heavy machine guns, flat-firing cannons, mortars, and even flamethrowers, were all gray.  of.  He does not yet have permission to purchase these items.

    He doesn¡¯t know yet whether he can purchase the mortar shells inside.  If he doesn't have the permission to buy, he can buy some for emergency use.  If not, then he will have to tighten his belt and use them. These mortars must not be used until the critical moment.

    ??

    Staff Officer Wang had a good impression of Xia Yang. He was also a scholar. Hearing Xia Yang's gentle manner, he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If there are really surplus artillery shells here in our military headquarters, they will definitely be given to Commander Xia."  You say."

    Xia Yang then led his men, carrying the mortars, out of the military headquarters gate and walked towards Mancheng.

    Hu San asked Xia Yang on the way: "Commander, why don't I take people to Zhang Weizhi's logistics department to see if there are any artillery shells or anything like that? You can't just point at those two boxes of artillery shells!"  Wasn¡¯t it just a matter of soaking in urine and it was all gone?¡±

    Xia Yang waved his hand and said: "No need to go, Minister Zhang's Logistics Department, all the materials and equipment in it are produced by our own military factory, how can there be mortar shells from the little devil! I still have to figure this out.  Bar!"

    Hu San breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Xia Yang was trying to find a solution.  As long as Xia Yang can figure it out, it's not a big deal.  Their regiment must be able to conjure boxes of cannonballs for them like a magic trick.

    However, he still had some doubts, so he asked Xia Yang: "Regiment leader, we have this mortar, but who in our regiment can shoot it? After all, this thing is rare. I, Lao Hu, have been a soldier for more than ten years.  I have never touched this thing.¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
