Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

"The grenade launcher is great. Have you given it a name?"

After seeing the explosive power of the grenade, Li Yunlong asked Zhao Tianyang with satisfaction.

"name?"

Zhao Tianyang stroked his chin and thought for a while: "How about calling it Dinglong Grenade Launcher?"

"Dinglong?"

Li Yunlong asked curiously, "Why is it called this? Is it because we are descendants of the dragon?"

"Because Dayu cast nine tripods to control the nine states, and there are dragon patterns carved on them, I hope that the grenade launcher we made can carry out the will of our ancestors to recover the nine states."

In fact, the fundamental reason is to commemorate his ancestors, hoping that they would not blame him for producing the weapon that made him famous first.

"Good name."

Considering that Li Yunlong only attended a private school for a few days, it was difficult for him to understand the Nine Cauldrons.

But what Zhao Tianyang said was awesome, saying it could control the nine states and it was the will of the ancestors, which made him feel a sense of power that he didn't understand.

"right."

Zhao Tianyang smiled and said, "Of course you can also call him 50 Cannon."

"By the way, how many Dinglong grenade launchers can be produced in a week?"

At this time Li Yunlong suddenly asked.

"what happened?"

Although he was curious about Li Yunlong's question, Zhao Tianyang still told Li Yunlong honestly.

"The technology is not yet perfect, and there are still many deficiencies in the production of explosives."

"The Dinglong grenade launcher is easy to make. As long as we have rails, we can produce 5 or 6 of them in a week. But as for grenades, we can only produce rounds at most."

Li Yunlong was very satisfied with the output of the arsenal. He smiled and said, "It's good enough. Together with the grenade launchers and ammunition we seized last time, it will be enough for me to fight a big battle."

"A big battle?"

Zhao Tianyang's mind was moved: "Did the Japanese army capture Taiyuan?"

"not yet."

Li Yunlong shook his head: "But it will be soon. The Nationalist Army has already started to prepare for retreat. I have also received an order to end my rest and prepare for battle."

"That's it!"

At this moment, a few white particles suddenly fell from the sky and slowly landed in Zhao Tianyang's hands.

"Snowing."

Zhao Tianyang looked at the snow in his hands that had melted due to his body temperature, and secretly thought that the Japanese army ended the Taiyuan Campaign on November 11.

After a short rest, they will split their forces to attack other counties and villages in Shanxi.

For the Eighth Route Army, the countryside will never be given to the Japanese army easily. It can be predicted that the New 1st Regiment will have many battles with the Japanese army in the future.

"But you don't have to worry. Although our New 1st Regiment will be moved closer to the Japanese, we are fully capable of protecting you with our current strength."

Seeing that Zhao Tianyang remained silent, Li Yunlong thought that the college student was afraid. After all, if the Japanese captured Taiyuan, it would mean that they would be close to taking over Shanxi.

At that time, they will be like a cat playing with mouse, being chased around by the Japanese army, and will be killed if they are not careful.

"hehe."

Zhao Tianyang chuckled and asked calmly without explaining, "Does our arsenal have to move as well?"

The small mountain village they are in now is located deep in the Taihang Mountains. Although it can be used for rest and recuperation, it is indeed very unfavorable for fighting, or preventing the Japanese from occupying the village.

"It will be soon. When I return from the meeting at the headquarters, I will know where to go. Then I will have to trouble you to move all the machines to the new location."

After thinking for a while, Zhao Tianyang suggested: "This place is very safe. I think we can leave a branch there as a seed."

"That makes sense. I will organize a guerrilla team to stay here. You can find out which employee in the arsenal is suitable and let him stay here to open a branch factory."

"Produce some grenades, simple weapons like this, and we'll come and get them once a week."

Li Yunlong nodded in agreement. He didn't know the idiom "a cunning rabbit has three burrows", but he understood the principle that one should not put all his eggs in one basket.

The next day, Li Yunlong mounted his horse and ran towards the headquarters with his guards.

"By the way, I don't know what happened to the tank. How come it's been so long and I haven't heard Brother Tianyang mention it."

Listening to the thumping of horse hooves, Li Yunlong suddenly thought of tanks.

Zhao Tianyang was also very distressed about agreeing to build a tank for Li Yunlong. He thought it was too simple. The tank tracks alone made him uncomfortable for a long time.

The rail steel that Li Yunlong and his team brought back was barely usable.

After all, the tank that Zhao Tianyang was planning to manufacture was not a large one weighing more than ten tons. The pins and track plates needed to be hammered out one by one by the blacksmith.

"The pin shaft and track shoe of the factory director are a bit difficult to fix. It may take some time."

The blacksmith in charge of making the tracks had a sad face and complained.

"I'll get someone to help you. Try to resolve it within a week. We're going to war."

"fight!"

The blacksmith was stunned for a moment, then immediately became serious: "Don't worry, Director. I will work hard to make the pins and track shoes even if I have to stay up all night."

"come on."

Zhao Tianyang gave an encouraging word and walked towards the mountain. He planned to discuss with Li Yuncai to see who was suitable to stay.

....................

Taihang Mountains, the brigade headquarters.

"........In short, I hope everyone will not be afraid of difficulties, have the courage to fight, and fight against the Japanese pacification teams that may come to the countryside while ensuring their own safety as much as possible."

In the conference room, the brigade commander gave a final summary to the Eighth Route Army regiment commanders present.

"Alright, everyone, hurry back and get to the new garrison point as quickly as possible. Li Yunlong will stay."

Hearing this, everyone picked up their meeting books, stood up, and walked out, expressing their gloating over Li Yunlong's misfortune.

"Sure, Lao Li, stay and let the brigade commander give you some special treatment!"

Kong Jie muttered softly as he passed by Li Yunlong.

"Oh, I..."

If the brigade commander hadn’t been watching, Li Yunlong would have had to punch Kong Jie twice.

After all the regiment commanders left one after another, the brigade commander turned around, poured himself a cup of water, and looked leisurely at Li Yunlong who was sitting upright.

"Tell me, what good things have you done recently?"

"Reporting to the brigade commander, the new regiment has been ordered to rest and reorganize. After more than a month of development, it has initially acquired the strength to fight."

Li Yunlong stood up quickly, saluted and then started talking honestly.

"All officers and soldiers of the New 3500st Regiment, a total of people, are ready to go and await orders. Report completed."

"That's not right."

The brigade commander drank a sip of water and said jokingly, "I heard that your new regiment is developing rapidly. Not only are all the soldiers equipped with Japanese weapons, but they also set up an arsenal."

"From time to time, I can go to the Japanese county town and mess around. Life is very comfortable."

"Damn it, who the hell is going to complain to me?"

Li Yunlong stood up with an angry look on his face.

With a bang, the brigade commander placed the enamel cup heavily on the table and said, "Sit down, sir."

"Hey."

Li Yunlong was like a frightened young wife, completely losing his previous dignity and sat down obediently.

"To tell you the truth, I know exactly what your New 1st Regiment did and what happened. Don't try to cover up your mistake."

"How dare I, Commander? I've been wrongly accused."

"Okay, I don't want to talk about your business anymore. When you go back, prepare for the relocation immediately. After you are settled, I will go to your new regiment to see the arsenal you built."

"What!"

Li Yunlong stood up again in a hurry.

"Brigade Commander, you can't just abandon me after I've done my job. I've worked so hard to build the arsenal, and you can't just come up and reap the benefits."

"What's this shit and piss? Isn't it disgusting?"

The brigade commander waved his hand speechlessly: "Okay, get out of here. I will consider the issue of the arsenal carefully."

"Hey, thank you, Brigadier General. You are really an honest man."

Li Yunlong walked out while smiling.

"Haha, this Li Yunlong is just using nonsense words."

The brigade commander chuckled, picked up a telegram and began to read it.
