Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Lin Zhenhua jumped for joy as he looked at the 80mm diameter rocket assembled in his hands. He had finally completed the trial production of the rocket and planned to take it to the back mountain for testing. If successful, he could start mass production.

"Li Sanwa, you've really come at a good time this time. Today I'll show you the latest weapon, the rocket launcher. It's equipped with 80mm rockets, with a maximum range of about two kilometers and an explosion range of 25 meters. The launch method is simple, with a simple guide rail and a telephone line. After power is turned on, it can be launched remotely, which greatly increases the safety of personnel!"

Li Sanwa's eyes sparkled as he asked curiously, "Captain Lin, let's go and do the test. I can't wait any longer!"

With the help of Li Sanwa, the two of them put the things they needed on the war horses, led the horses to the back mountain, and after finding a suitable test location, Lin Zhenhua and Li Sanwa unloaded the things and began to assemble them. It took only 20 minutes to complete all the preparations before launch.

"Sanwazi, we have to hide in the bunker quickly. This is the first launch, and I can't guarantee that there will be no accidents. It's better for us to be safe! When I came here, I had already issued a notice in the manor. We will conduct a test of new weapons in the back mountain today. It is now 9:58 in the morning, and the launch will be on time in two minutes!"

After waiting quietly for two minutes, when the hour hand and the second hand pointed to ten o'clock at the same time, Lin Zhenhua pressed the launch switch. After the guide rail was energized, the propellant was fired. An 80mm rocket slid out from the guide rail and flew towards the distant mountain. After just a few seconds, it hit the mountain peak and exploded. A violent explosion sounded, and the debris flew everywhere!

Lin Zhenhua jumped up happily and cheered, "Haha, now that I have developed a rocket launcher, the Japanese artillery will never be able to act arrogantly in front of me again. From now on, I will let the Japanese have a taste of what it feels like to be covered by artillery fire!"

Li Sanwa looked at the bombed mountain in the distance and asked in surprise, "Captain Lin, this rocket has deviated from the target a lot. We were clearly aiming at the top of the mountain, but how come it hit halfway up the mountain? If this aim is used on the battlefield, it would be ridiculously off. I don't think it can hit the Japanese position at all!"

Li Sanwa expressed his doubts. Lin Zhenhua did not get angry. Instead, he patiently explained, "Sanwa, there is a big difference between rocket launchers and the artillery we use now. Rocket launchers do not seek precise strikes, but use firepower coverage to carry out saturation strikes on enemies within a certain area. The artillery we use now can accurately bombard targets and has a higher combat effectiveness!"

"To put it simply, rocket launchers don't rely on point damage, but on area damage. As long as the Japanese are within this range, they won't survive. For us, it will just be a waste of ammunition!"

"We don't have much food left in Lijiazhuang. We must take the initiative to seize some food from the devils. Of course, we can't let go of the second devils. If we want to grow stronger, we must store a large amount of food in advance so that we have the energy to slowly consume the devils!"

Li Sanwa nodded in agreement. Ever since the team had grown and the folks from Duanjiazhuang had moved in, the food supply had indeed become stretched. If the food crisis was not resolved, everyone would have no choice but to abandon this place.

"Li Sanwa, you immediately take people to investigate the surrounding strongholds and the enemy's transportation routes. This time I plan to raid at least three enemy strongholds, and also attack the enemy's transportation teams. We need to store at least three months' worth of food so that we can produce with peace of mind!" Lin Zhenhua ordered.

Li Sanwa saluted and said, "Captain Lin, I'm leaving right away. Please wait for my good news!"

Watching Li Sanwa's leaving back, Lin Zhenhua immediately gathered the soldiers and started mass production of rockets. He wanted to produce at least eight rockets before Li Sanwa came back to make up a basic number for a salvo.

Compared to Lin Zhenhua's miserable days, Li Yunlong can be said to be in high spirits these past two days. Just yesterday, they attacked another Japanese stronghold and seized ten days' worth of daily necessities. Looking at the two boxes of canned beef in the middle, Li Yunlong felt very happy. He would not exchange this kind of life for even a god.

"Iron Hammer, you did a good job this time. I'll reward you with two cans of beef. You need to practice your aim more. Next time, try to throw the grenade into the enemy's artillery tower and let the enemy have a taste of our god gunner's power!"

Li Yunlong praised Du Tiechui, threw him two cans of beef, and asked Wei Dayong to load the remaining cans onto the carriage. After cleaning up the battlefield, they started to move towards the next target.

"Monk, how much laxative do you have left that classmate Lin gave you? We lost two soldiers in the previous stronghold. I am so sad!"

Hearing the captain's question, the monk Wei Dayong replied embarrassedly: "Captain, I still have two packets left. I think if we are drugging the devils, we should not put them in the puppet army's pot. Keep them specifically for dealing with the devils. Without the deterrence of the devils, those damn puppet soldiers are just a bunch of weaklings. We just scare them a few times and they will surrender!"

"Monk, I didn't expect you to learn to use your brain. You're right. Those damn puppet soldiers are just a bunch of cowards, otherwise they wouldn't have surrendered to the devils. Next we have to attack the Zhaozhuang artillery tower. We estimate that we won't be able to reach the vicinity until tonight. You should go ahead and see if there is any chance. If not, you can give the devils a hard blow tomorrow morning. By the way, I have to let these new recruits see blood so that they can lead the team out as soon as possible!"

Li Yunlong arranged for the monk to go ahead and handed him four cans of beef. Wei Dayong grinned and laughed foolishly, riding his warhorse at a very fast speed.

"Tiechui, can you please eat less? Classmate Lin said that you can't keep eating like this. You must find a way to control your eating. If you keep eating like this, you will become a 300-pound fat man. With your physique, you can't eat that much. It's because you don't know how to eat. You just joined the team, but in less than two months, your body has doubled in size like a balloon. You scared the hell out of me!" Li Yunlong looked at Du Tiechui who was still eating, and hurriedly scolded him.

Du Tiechui scratched his head in embarrassment. "Captain, I remember what the college students told me, but if I don't eat, I always feel hungry! This may be because I was too hungry before. Since I joined the independent regiment, I have never been hungry again, and I was allowed to eat as much as I wanted. I still kept my previous bad habits. I am slowly changing them, and now it has been very effective. However, my previous consumption was a bit high. If I don't eat something, I always feel hungry. Captain, I won't eat anymore after I finish the remaining cans!"
