Tang Yue was still a little angry. Chang Yin was really something; how could he try to fool her with something as trivial as drooling? Humph! Did he think she was easy to bully just because she was young?
"No, it's too dangerous in the deep mountains and wilderness."
Often hidden...
Little girl, could you be any more insincere with your words? Forget the Qinling Mountains, you wouldn't dare venture into a primeval forest, would you?
Seeing that Tang Yue was still angry, Chang Yin felt a little embarrassed. This was the first time he had seriously teased this little girl, so why did she get angry?
"Come with me for a moment."
Tang Yue was somewhat reluctant, but she knew that Chang Yin wouldn't make things up without reason, so she got up and followed Chang Yin out of their resting place.
Chang Yin stood under a tree, looking up at the night sky that was about to darken. Tang Yue looked up at him, not feeling anything was strange. "Battalion Commander, what do you want to say?"
Chang Yin crouched down and touched a small, ordinary-looking blade of grass, channeling his spiritual energy into it. The grass suddenly grew a little taller. After that, this blade of grass became noticeably different from the other ordinary grasses.
Tang Yue's eyes widened in surprise. "Commander, you've broken through to the first level of Qi Refining?"
Chang Yin shook his head. Not yet, but if he could stay in the mountains for a few more days, it should be about time.
Tang Yue...
This battalion commander's spiritual root aptitude is really good, but he's already this powerful before even reaching the first level of Qi Refining?
Chang Yin remained squatting, looking directly at Tang Yue. "But I have a feeling, as if I have a connection with the trees and flowers in these mountains. It's very intimate."
Tang Yue took a deep breath. She had never worked with someone with such good qualifications before, and now, in her opinion, the battalion commander was the most qualified person.
"Yes, the battalion commander is very capable. Keep up the good work."
After speaking, she turned to go back. Ugh, why do I feel a little resentful? No, she needs to keep working hard, or she'll be surpassed by the battalion commander in a few days. Where will she put her face then?
"You want to recruit those three into the team?"
Tang Yue turned around. "Battalion Commander, are you a tapeworm in my stomach?"
Chang Yin said seriously, "Tang Yue, if these three want to enlist, we need to investigate their identities first. You can't rush it."
Tang Yue pouted, "Battalion Commander, I know the procedure. They must have been forced into the Qinling Mountains. I don't think they're bad people."
Chang Yin didn't speak, and Tang Yue didn't stay there any longer, returning directly to the camp.
The atmosphere in the camp was somewhat somber. Tang Yue glanced around and noticed everyone's embarrassed expressions; her father's face was contorted. Tang Yue quickly went to Tang Shengkai's side. "Dad, what's wrong?"
Tang Shengkai's face flushed instantly when he saw his daughter approaching. His already tanned, dark red face looked rather strange against the current sky.
"Um?"
Tang Yue was a little confused, so she turned her gaze to Chen Erniu. Chen Erniu awkwardly looked away.
Tang Yue...
Something's not right. Chen Erniu isn't usually this timid. What happened? "Dad, what's wrong?"
Tang Shengkai held back, thinking that since he had already lost face, what difference would it make if he lost his daughter? Just as he was about to speak, Xu Hongchang spoke up to explain.
"It's nothing serious. We were just discussing how we're about to leave the Qinling Mountains. There might be enemy agents outside trying to ambush us. We're going to take stock of our ammunition."
Tang Yue nodded; she didn't see anything wrong with what he said. She turned to look at Chang Yin and saw that Chang Yin was also nodding in agreement.
Xu Hongchang's expression didn't change much. "Most of the bullets we have here are defective."
With a "whoosh," Tang Yue and Chang Yin simultaneously looked towards Xu Hongchang, their minds racing.
Xu Hongchang waved his hand, "It's not what you think. We ran out of bullets on our mission a long time ago. The bullets we have now are all from the Japanese."
"Are there problems with the Japanese bullets?" Tang Yue asked, and immediately sensed something was wrong. It couldn't be. If their bullets were faulty, her father and the others wouldn't have been chased so desperately by the Japanese.
"Hehe, Battalion Commander, let me say it." Chen Erniu finally couldn't hold back anymore.
"We ran out of bullets long ago. Before you arrived, we were locked in a standoff with the Japanese on both sides of the abyss. Old Tang felt that their bullets had hit our wooden fortifications. He thought that if we got those bullets out, they would still be usable."
We were in a hurry at the time, thinking that although the bullets that had been fired could not be loaded into the gun, they might still come in handy at some critical moment.
However, we didn't expect that Old Tang didn't know. He thought these bullets could be reloaded into the gun. That's why he made a little fool of himself just now.
Tang Yue...
Often hidden...
It turns out her father was just embarrassed. But actually, she wouldn't have known this if she hadn't read so many books.
“Dad, you did the right thing. Actually, bullet casings have many uses. For example, in military training, when conditions permit, some of the bullet casings recovered on the battlefield will be collected, processed, and used for target practice in military training.”
Moreover, after being reloaded with gunpowder and projectiles, it can be used as training ammunition for soldiers to practice shooting, which can save costs and reduce waste of resources.
In addition, cartridge cases are usually made of metals such as copper and steel, and contain valuable metallic elements such as lead and copper.
We collect them. The recovered shell casings can be sent to specialized recycling facilities for processing to extract the metals. These metals are then refined and used to manufacture new ammunition or other metal products, thus achieving resource recycling.
