In 1943, the situation changed drastically... But the darkness before dawn was the most difficult. I am afraid that only Meng Youtian knew that after these few months, at most three or four months, the decline of the Japanese devils would unstoppably appear, and a bright future was right in front of him.

But it is not feasible to wait and suffer. If you let nature take the lead, you will repel the enemy and recover the lost land in a few months. How can you support the vast military and civilians in the dilapidated and barren fields? Therefore, you must take the initiative and have fields to grow food and vegetables so that you can survive this drought.

Before the enemy withdrew from Shili Village, the construction of Tumen Village could only be dragged backwards, but the land that had been sown could not be ignored. After discussion, several cadres simply arranged the people in the nearby mountains, leaving only a small number of militiamen to repair tunnels, rebuild fortifications, and stand guard in the village.

The appearance of Tumen Village is so severely damaged that it has lost a lot of value. You are not in a hurry to build a house, and the enemy must be not very interested in occupying this ruin, right?

With a loud bang, a black thing flew into the air, and then a broken piece of the sky flew.

Meng Youtian was stunned. Is this the flying thunder cannon or the celestial girl scattering flowers? How could it become like this? I was thankful that I didn’t show off and didn’t let too many people come to visit. Otherwise, my face would be really a shame.

Situ Zi and two or three militiamen had already run over to collect fragments of fake explosive packs, leaving Meng Youtian scratching his head, unable to figure it out.

The flying thunder cannon, and a more famous nameless cannon, was powerful during the War of Liberation. It was simple to manufacture, has a relatively close range, but has amazing power. It can be used to deal with enemy fortresses or to attack tough.

At the beginning, Meng Youtian thought it was quite simple. He made all the guys who made the local grenades. If he expanded the caliber, the flying thunder cannon was not easy to get. But the facts taught him a lesson. Talking about war on paper and working behind closed doors will hit a wall. Only in practice can the correctness of the theory be tested.

The pieces were picked up. There was half a basket of them together. They were originally fake explosives made of mud, but they were not very distressing except for wasting some black ejection medicine.

Meng Youtian squatted down and pulled the mud with his hands. Suddenly his eyes lit up. He picked out a piece of burnt hemp rope with his fingers. He finally found the reason for his failure.

"It's not okay to use hemp rope!" Meng Youtian suddenly realized and showed the hemp rope to everyone, explaining: "We tied it up and wrapped the explosives with hemp ropes and sacks. The thing is easy to catch fire, and it disperses as soon as it catches fire, but it becomes a scattered flower in the heavenly girl."

"I just said to use iron wire!" The Si Bazi slapped his thigh and acted as Zhuge Liang afterwards, looking proud.

"Where can I find so many iron wires?" Meng Youtian gave Si Ba's eyes a blank look. There was a shortage of supplies, there was not much explosives, and it was difficult to get the wires.

The four bald man opened his eyes wide, blinked slowly, trying to figure out a solution, but finally smiled awkwardly and said that he had no idea.

"If you don't have any tricks, you can only make large landmines, but they are too heavy and not far away." Meng Youtian murmured to himself, constantly stroking the beard on his chin.

"Is the phone line OK?" Xiao Man suddenly interrupted, "I have saved up a lot in the past few years, and they are all piled up!"

Telephone line? Meng Youtian raised his head and stared at Xiao Man's face with thoughts. There was iron wire inside and an insulation layer outside. I'm afraid it's better to use than pure iron wire?

"Smart!" Meng Youtian suddenly praised loudly and compared his thumbs to Xiao Man, which made Xiao Man feel a little embarrassed.

"I'll go back to the village to get it." The Situko was a thinking dwarf and a master of action. Before Meng Youtian could give orders, he had already pulled the two militias and ran away quickly.

Meng Youtian smiled lightly, solved a problem, and felt relieved. If the development was successful and the range and accuracy were improved after multiple tests, the Japanese would suffer. It is the happiest thing that these beasts could kill more. If it was five or six kilograms of explosives, even if it was a few meters away from the artillery tower or bunker, it could still blow up the turtle shell, right? Well, with the fortifications built by bricks or rammed earth, it would definitely not be able to withstand the attack similar to heavy artillery.

"Brother-in-law, sit down and rest for a while." Xiao Man spread her hand towel on the ground and greeted Meng Youtian.

"You are a girl, sit there." Meng Youtian waved his hand and found a place to sit casually. He felt a little worried when he touched his chin. He was also short of explosives. It cannot be wasted easily. If all black gunpowder is used, the power will be much different, right?

Xiao Man sat down and did not disturb Meng Youtian's thoughts. She just looked quietly, with an admiration occasionally in her eyes, and scenes flashed in her mind. It was a matter of not long after crossing the ice river at night. Meng Youtian suffered a serious illness, and the person responsible for taking care of Xiao Man. When Meng Youtian had a fever and was confused, it was Xiao Man who used her body to warm Meng Youtian's trembling body.

Meng Youtian hugged Xiao Man tightly, her skin tightly touched each other, her body temperature and breath blended with each other, and that wonderful feeling made Xiao Man never forget. From then on, all the girl's thoughts were poured on Meng Youtian. But that kind of barrier made the girl feel pain and uncomfortable from time to time.

Alas, at that time, he muttered his sister, as well as the names of Afeng and Zijuan. He had no idea that he was thinking about him, thinking about him, and loving him. Xiao Man sighed silently, lowered her head gently, and fiddled with the braids that were thrown to her chest.

In addition to large-caliber flying thunder cannons, they also have to dig trenches to approach, and it is best to bombard them at night. Meng Youtian considered the range of the flying thunder cannons and thought about more practical tactics. He had to use a lot of troops, even if he was bluffing, he could not let the enemy act at will and rush over to cause damage.

Or you can first let the enemy try to charge, and use snipers to shoot several officers or Japanese in the field. This is not only a deterrent, but also a illusion that the enemy is thinking that digging trenches is to lure them to attack and will not attack easily. When you dig a distance of one or two hundred meters from the enemy's stronghold, take advantage of the cover of the night to bombard a fire thunder cannon.

Meng Youtian thought about it and became happy, and his expression on his face was also full of eyebrows.

Like a child who got a new toy, Xiao Man looked at Meng Youtian in a daze, pursed her lips gently, and showed a sweet smile. It is said that Xing Buli Chen, and her brother-in-law doesn't see her aunt. Why is there such a strange custom? Is it easy to have that kind of relationship between her brother-in-law and her aunt? Xiao Man bit her lips, thought about it randomly, her face became hot and red. (To be continued...)
