Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

"Dang Dang Dang..."

Accompanied by sparks flying, the sound of iron hammering rose and fell, echoing throughout the arsenal.

In order to get the tank for Li Yunlong before moving, Zhao Tianyang tried his best.

He led all the employees of the arsenal and started a three-shift mode. He didn't believe that he couldn't make a small tank in this way?

"Master Chang, this won't work. The iron sheet is too thin. It needs to be thicker."

"Master Li, this wheel should be manufactured based on this standard."

"You guys take these manufactured parts to the factory. We don't have any rust-proofing technology, so don't let them get wet in the rain."

Zhao Tianyang kept moving between the various master chefs and made reasonable adjustments according to the situation.

"Director."

Only then did Li Yun run back in a hurry.

"Why, is the meeting over?"

"Well, the leader said that he will send someone to help us relocate later."

"Okay, you can take them with you to move the machine later. Don't remove the three lathes in the inner part of the factory yet. We still need them."

"Then the sulfuric acid plant on the mountain was also relocated, so we don't have to rebuild it when we go there."

After saying that, Zhao Tianyang turned around and joined the tank manufacturing army. Time was tight and the task was heavy, so he didn't have that much time to talk nonsense.

"Oh."

Li Yuncai touched his head and returned to the arsenal to prepare tools in a sullen manner.

He originally wanted to ask Zhao Tianyang for a few apprentices to help dismantle the machine, but seeing that Zhao Tianyang was so busy, he didn't dare to ask and could only do it himself.

However, when the people arranged by the regiment commander arrived, he could ask the people from the engineering company to help. They had all been trained by the factory director and could do simple tasks such as dismantling machines.

Because the Toyota KB automatic truck seized by Li Yunlong was equipped with a 3389CC inline six-cylinder OHV water-cooled diesel engine with a maximum output power of 65 horsepower.

You should know that Japan's Bean Tank has only a little over 31 horsepower. The powerful engine gives Zhao Tianyang enough room to choose which tank to manufacture.

Unfortunately, after thinking about it, he was still defeated by reality. At present, his only powerful feature is his engine.

You have to make all the other materials yourself, and you don't have the confidence to make medium and heavy tanks. In the end, the difficulty and materials are the criteria.

First of all, he thought of the CV1930 ultra-light tank produced by Italy in 33. This tank is easy to manufacture, small in size and highly passable.

They can run very fast in the mountains, and if things really don't work, they can call for more people and lift them up to run. It can be said that they are very suitable for the Eighth Route Army.

But this type of tank also has disadvantages. It has low defense and weak attack power, and can only carry machine guns and flamethrowers.

If a real fight breaks out, maybe none of them will be a match for the Douding tank. Moreover, what the CV33 tank can do, the Eighth Route Army soldiers can also do.

"Ah, it seems that we can only imitate the Japanese's mini-tanks."

Zhao Tianyang rubbed his head in pain. He really didn't like this kind of ultra-light tank. It could knock over any slightly stronger car.

But what else can he do? Given his situation, this is the only option he can choose.

"Does the factory manager want to start?"

The workers in the factory holding various tools looked at Zhao Tianyang, who looked upset.

For them, being able to build a tank is enough to make them proud, no matter what type of tank it is.

"let's start."

Zhao Tianyang opened a huge drawing, which showed the disassembled diagram of the Type 94 ultra-light tank, but Zhao Tianyang still made some changes.

First, the frontal armor was strengthened from 16 mm to 20 mm, and secondly, the turret was raised to two floors.

The lower layer is equipped with machine guns, and the upper layer is also equipped with machine guns now, which will be converted into artillery later.

"Yes."

Everyone agreed and began to build the tank according to the blueprint in front of them, just like building blocks.

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

"Hahaha, is this the tank you promised?"

Before I saw anyone, Li Yunlong's hearty laughter could be heard.

"Yes, it was modified based on the Japanese Type 94 ultra-light tank."

"Good good."

Li Yunlong excitedly walked around the tank, which was still just a frame, and asked with great interest, "How long will it take to manufacture it? Do you need my help?"

"No, you just need to help relocate the factory. The preliminary preparations for the tanks have been almost completed. The only thing left is assembly, which can be done in three days at most."

Zhao Tianyang waved his hand and said, "How dare you, a regiment leader, come here to steal the technician's job? How can that be?"

"Three days!!"

Li Yunlong was pleasantly surprised: "We just cleaned up, and you have finished your work too?"

"That's right, come on, go do your thing and don't bother us here."

"Okay, okay, keep going, I'll go help Li Yuncai move his things first."

Li Yunlong was not annoyed at all. He hummed a song and ran to the mountain to find Li Yuncai.

Because of the danger of sulfuric acid factories, Li Yun thought that they should be demolished while everyone was in the best mental state.

Three days later, just as Zhao Tianyang predicted, there were no unexpected problems. With everyone's unremitting efforts day and night, the tank was successfully manufactured.

“Is this thing a gas guzzler?”

After the excitement, Li Yunlong touched his chin, looked at the tank in front of him and asked a soul-searching question.

You know, because of the lack of oil, the three-wheeled vehicle and the car brought back from the last robbery have been left gathering dust.

It is only pulled out and driven when there is something to do. For this tank, Li Yunlong doesn't even dare to think about how much diesel it will use.

"Do you understand the urgency now?"

Zhao Tianyang looked at Li Yunlong jokingly. This guy is just a mean guy. If he doesn't have it, he will think about it. If he has it, he will worry about it.

"Hey, I was just thinking that just looking at it won't work, so I was a little anxious!"

Given Li Yunlong's personality, once he got the tank, he wanted to shove the barrel directly into the Japanese's face.

If he can't use it because of diesel, he will be so angry that he won't be able to sleep.

"Don't worry, I have made plans for you. Didn't you say that the brigade commander would come to inspect the arsenal in a couple of days?"

"Yeah, didn't I ask you to hide it then? Did you forget?"

"What are you hiding?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Tianyang was a little speechless: "Okay, let's get down to business. When the brigade commander comes, you will give him one of the captured sidecars."

"No, I haven't even driven it yet. I said I'll use the sidecar as a ride when gasoline becomes more plentiful!"

"Look, you're in a hurry again. Tell me, do you want a sidecar that doesn't run on gasoline, or a big tank that runs on diesel?"

"Tanks, of course!"

Li Yunlong did not hesitate. A real man should drive a tank. If there was not much diesel left, he would have gone for a spin.

"That's it. I tell you, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. When the brigade commander comes, you can give him the sidecar."

"Then just give him this blueprint. It will ensure that he has enough gasoline and diesel for the future!"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong took the drawing and looked at it with some doubt. Seeing that it was full of things he couldn't understand, he didn't hesitate and put it away quickly.

"I'm telling you, it's just you, brother Tianyang. If anyone else asks me to deliver something, I'll have to serve them."

"Okay, okay, got it, got it."

Seeing Li Yunlong's disapproving look, Zhao Tianyang waved his hand with amusement: "Okay, it's time to think about how to transport this big guy back to the new base."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong looked at the 4.7-ton giant in front of him and scratched his head with a headache.

"How about just using people to pull it?"
