Li Xiao was relieved, but the most difficult problem was keeping warm.

However, the iron stove may be able to solve some problems. Although the thing is very heavy, a strong young man can still move it.

However, this thing can only be used at night.

During the day, the main method of heating is to rely on the sun.

Hitler couldn't do anything about the terrible weather in Russia, and Li Xiao couldn't do anything either.

"Commander, our company commander...!"

"I know about your company commander, tell me about the cannon you saw." Li Xiao finally brought the topic to that mysterious cannon.

"That kind of cannon is very small, only about two and a half meters long.

That thing was very short, only about half a meter high.

The distance is about two thousand meters." Ding San recalled while describing the kind of cannon he saw to Li Xiao.

"How do you see so clearly?" Li Xiao asked Ding San with interest.

"I was on the third floor of the boiler room at that time, and a flare from our army happened to explode in that area, and I saw it clearly.

Although the time was short, I still saw it clearly.

Later, I saw the cannon shooting at us as if we were named."

"Just one?"

"There should be several doors, but I only see one."

"Can you draw the cannon you saw?"

"able!"

Soon, Ding San finished drawing the artillery he saw.

Ding San's painting style is very abstract, but Li Xiao can still tell at a glance that this is the Type 92 infantry gun.

No wonder he beat himself up so badly!

This thing has the gun mantlet removed and is only about half a meter tall. It can be easily hidden in a small bush.

The length is only about three meters and the weight is about two hundred kilograms.

After it was dismantled, several soldiers carried it on their backs, so there was no need for anything to pull it.

The gadgets invented by the Japanese army at that time caused great damage to the Chinese army. Because of its low profile, it was difficult to find it. Even if it was bombed, you would often not know where the gun was.

Therefore, the Chinese army nicknamed this kind of gun "Ghost Cannon".

Li Xiao also once thought about equipping the Ming army with this thing.

The blueprints were drawn, but I felt that the functions of this thing and the company mortar overlapped.

Moreover, Ming military camp-level units also had six 105mm howitzers to control the situation.

There is no need for such an infantry gun with duplicate functions!

But he didn't expect that he didn't use it at first, but now he was sacrificed by Napoleon.

It has become a big killer for the French!

This kind of artillery is not good at direct or indirect fire. The biggest advantage is its compactness.

The one drawn by Ding San is obviously the version with the gun mantlet removed.

This version further reduces the weight and further reduces the height of the gun body!

But it also has a side effect, that is, the infantry artillery's protective capabilities are reduced.

Especially the defensive ability against shrapnel has basically become zero.

In other words, once this kind of infantry artillery is discovered, it is not a problem to destroy it.

But the question is, how to find it.

One of the characteristics of infantry artillery is that it is low and highly concealable.

Even at night, due to its low profile and distance of more than two kilometers, it is not easy to spot the muzzle flash.

"Commander, our company commander...!"

"Do you know the crime of abandoning the position privately?" Li Xiao looked at Ding San with a cold face.

"But you...!" Ding San was frightened by Li Xiao's change of expression, but he still stammered in his argument.

"If every company commander abandons his position without orders, then tell me, what will happen to our troops?

How can we fight this battle?"

"...!" Ding San was speechless.

"But our company commander is a good man. Without him, our company would be doomed." After hesitating, Ding San mustered up the courage to save the old monkey's life.

"All right!

As a commander-in-chief, I can't keep my word and allow him to make meritorious deeds.

And I will also give you a great grace. The battalion and company commanders in custody will be released, and they will be allowed to serve their crimes."

Ding San was a little confused, and Li Xiao's face was a little hot.

This is a no-brainer, just find an excuse to ride down the slope.

Although those battalion and company commanders were not very high-ranking officials, Li Xiao knew that they were the cornerstone of the army.

The Ming army had never abandoned their positions on such a large scale before, so this time it can be attributed to being fooled.

In the past, this situation was usually used by Daming to hit others. But I didn't expect that it would be used against Daming today.

The officers and soldiers were not used to it for a while.

Only a commander with a broken brain would shoot dozens of experienced battalion and company commanders at such a critical time.

"Thank you...! Thank you, Marshal." Ding San was in a daze, and it took him a long time to say a word.

"Okay, you can go back.

If nothing else happens, your company commander will be able to return to the company tomorrow."

Li Xiao smiled, patted Ding San on the shoulder, and shook hands with Ding San warmly.

When the old monkey was caught, he thought he was dead.

Abandoning one's position without permission is a capital crime.

Very few people in the Ming Dynasty army dared to commit this crime. Because it was a red line, no one could escape a knife on their neck after committing this crime.

However, when he saw that the Military Justice Department had imprisoned many battalion and company commanders, the old monkey felt happy.

It was not just his own company that was defeated, these guys were all arrested on the same charges as him.

He is destined to die alone, but the saying that the law does not punish others is also very reasonable.

When a group of people make mistakes, especially a group of useful people, they will basically not be punished.

When he was mentioned in front of Li Xiao, the old monkey knew that his life was probably saved.

"I've seen the handsome man!" The old monkey walked up to Li Xiao, stood at attention and saluted.

His back was straight, and his face looked like an iron-blooded soldier.

"You...! Have I seen you somewhere?" Li Xiao felt that the company commander in front of him looked familiar.

I must have seen this person somewhere, but I couldn't remember it at the moment.

Li Xiao has thousands of company commanders under his command, but not many can make an impression on him.

"Returning to the commander-in-chief, I used to serve as an errand under Staff Officer Li Lin."

"oh!"

Li Xiao remembered that he was the one who took Li Lin hunting in the Grozny mountains and captured Simon Haye.

"Why are you here at the front line?"

"Reply to the commander-in-chief, brothers want to use the guys in their hands to fight for their future."

"Oh, that's right. Then he gave up his position privately and entered the Military Justice Department.

If I put a check mark on this piece of paper, your life will be over.

Tell me, if there is anything else you want to leave behind, and whomever you want to say it to, I will bring it to you."

Li Xiao casually threw a folder over.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, I broke the military order and I have nothing to say. But by doing this, I also followed the Commander-in-Chief's teachings."

"What……?

I said, old monkey, if you don’t understand, you’re dead.”

Li Xiao was almost angry. This guy is climbing along the pole. Could it be that I instigated you?
