Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

After the experiment, Zhao Tianyang immediately began to arrange for Li Yuncai to produce new weapons, and the blackboard hanging in the grocery store was also updated with new weapons in a timely manner.

"Taihang 70-gun, Taihang 20-type shotgun, elm cannon, conscienceless cannon, and ordnance shovel."

A guerrilla fighter who was sent by the captain to buy grenades felt inexplicably excited when he saw the updated weapons on the blackboard.

Especially the Taihang 70-caliber cannon mentioned above. If they could bring one back, then their Goujiazhuang guerrillas would immediately become the main force!

"Don't look at it. Cannons are not something you guerrillas can handle. Let's not talk about the price first. Do any of you know how to fire a cannon?"

The clerk in charge of the grocery store kindly reminded the guerrilla who was staring at the wooden cannon model displayed in the store.

This was his third reminder since the blackboard had updated its weapons.

"Ah this..."

The guerrilla touched his head and thought, let alone firing cannons, there were only two people in their guerrilla group who could read: the captain and him.

"I advise you to buy some shotguns, elm cannons, conscienceless cannons, and ordnance shovels. These are cheap and useful weapons."

The teller reminded again: "Especially the elm cannon. Now our arsenal will teach you how to make it for free."

"Once you learn how to do it, you can buy some iron sheets from us and build your own elm cannon."

The guerrilla fighter was quite excited by the teller's words. He touched the money in his bag and shook the three pheasants in his hand: "Give me two shotguns and an elm cannon."

As for the grenades, he decided not to buy them for the time being. He felt that after having these weapons, he could go back and ask the captain to lead them to do something big.

"Row."

The teller took a few dollars, then took out a scale and moved the weight: "Three pheasants weigh ten pounds. I'll give you 10 dollars."

"After deducting the money for buying weapons, there are still three dollars left. What do you think? Should I exchange the remaining money for grenades or..."

Hearing this, the guerrillas thought for a moment and said, "Give me two grenades, and replace the rest with shotgun bullets."

"it is good."

The teller nodded happily and pulled out two shotguns, two grenades, and three boxes of 20-gauge shotgun shells (two of which were free with the purchase of the shotguns) from under the counter.

"You can go to the back and get the remaining elm cannons. You can also learn how to make elm cannons from the craftsmen."

"Ah."

The guerrilla nodded, carefully placed the weapons on the counter into the large wooden box he brought, carried the box and walked to the back of the grocery store.

An elm cannon production workshop had just been established there.

It is called a production workshop, but in fact there is only a master carpenter and two apprentices working there. Anyway, Zhao Tianyang is not pursuing output, his main goal is to spread the craftsmanship of the elm cannon.

The three of them were like teachers. When someone bought an elm cannon, they would make one on the spot in front of them. Basically, you would learn it after watching it once.

If you don't know how to make it, just buy the elm cannon and let a carpenter or blacksmith take a look at it and you will almost learn how to make it.

"Look, after the elm wood is separated and hollowed out, the most important step is to tighten them with iron sheets. Although the elm wood cannon does not require high sealing, too much air leakage will affect the range."

As the carpenter said this, he took a deep breath and exerted great strength to tightly clamp the two pieces of elm wood.

"call."

The master carpenter wiped off a few drops of sweat that had come out from his excessive exertion and said, "Okay, the last step is to drill a hole in the tail of the elm cannon to place the fuse."

"Can I try punching?"

The guerrillas felt that they had learned how to make the elm cannon, and now they were itching to try it themselves.

"Row."

The master carpenter handed him the hole punch without hesitation and said, "Don't be afraid. Just follow the spot I marked and drill hard."

"it is good."

The guerrilla took the punch and started turning it according to the instructions of the master carpenter.

As sawdust emerged from under the hole punch, a small hole appeared in front of everyone.

"It's really simple."

The guerrillas were very happy. After returning the puncher to the master carpenter, they lifted the newly made elm cannon onto the wheelbarrow that the master carpenter pushed over with his help.

Following the path, the guerrillas traveled all day and finally returned to Goujiazhuang in the early morning.

"who."

"It's me, Captain, Wang Gouzi."

Guerrilla fighter Wang Gouzi quickly put down the handlebars, came to the front of the wheelbarrow, took down the torch stuck on it, and illuminated himself at the same time.

"You're finally back, we thought you had an accident!"

Goujiazhuang guerrillas, captain Li Pu said happily.

"Yes! Logically, you should have been back before dark."

Gao Yu, the instructor at the side, also echoed.

"Hey, it's because the elm cannon is too heavy. I fell a few times on the way back!"

"Elmwood cannon?"

Lin Pu looked at Wang Gouzi in confusion.

"That's right, Captain, instructor, come and see."

Wang Gouzi took the torch to the side of the wheelbarrow and saw a long elm tree lying quietly on it.

"Is this a cannon? Why does it look like a piece of wood?"

If Lin Pu didn't know that Wang Gouzi was not the kind of person who would embezzle the money, he would have suspected that Wang Gouzi had embezzled the money and then just cut a piece of wood to get it back.

"Of course it's the cannon! Captain, listen to me..."

"Great, with this thing we can take action against Mr. Wang."

After listening to Wang Gouzi's explanation of the whole story, Limp patted the elm cannon excitedly.

"That bastard defected to the Japanese and took people to the countryside to rob food every day. I've wanted to take action against him for a long time."

"I think we should try out the power of this cannon first!"

Gao Yu is a calm person. Although this elm cannon was bought from the arsenal, he still feels at ease when he sees it with his own eyes.

After all, the money to buy weapons was collected by all the villagers in Goujiazhuang. They originally planned to buy a few boxes of grenades to fight with the rich man Wang.

Now the grenades have not been bought back, but other weapons have been bought. If they are useful, it’s fine. But if they are not, the guerrillas will not be able to face the villagers of Goujiazhuang.

"Okay, let's go and try it now without further ado."

Limp nodded in agreement.

Soon, all fifteen guerrillas of the Goujiazhuang guerrillas were called up.

Before they could figure out what was going on, they were asked to carry the elm cannon and walk towards the mountains. After a while, the guerrillas stopped in a valley.

"This place is fifteen miles away from Goujiazhuang. Testing weapons here will neither cause panic nor leak the news."

Looking at the pitch-black valley, Gao Yu nodded with satisfaction.

"Quick, light a few more fires to light up the valley."

As the valley lit up, Wang Gouzi followed the carpenter's instructions and loaded the elm cannon with black powder and some gravel.

"Captain, I'm ready."

Wang Gouzi said a little nervously, holding a torch.

"Don't be nervous. Just follow what the people in the Arsenal say. It doesn't matter even if you fail."

Seeing that Wang Gouzi's hands were shaking a little, Gao Yu hurriedly comforted him.

"Ah."

Wang Gouzi nodded, took a deep breath, and carefully placed the torch on the fuse.

With a "hiss", the fuse was lit and sparks burned into the elm cannon.

The next moment, there was a loud bang, and the elm cannon sprayed out a burst of sparks. Some dark shadows rushed out of the elm cannon and smashed the straw man that had just been stood up as a target in front into pieces.

"........."

Now there was a terrifying silence. They had not expected the sound to be so loud and terrifying, just like a cannon firing.

And looking at the scarecrow in front, its power should be quite strong.

"Oh my God."

Limp subconsciously patted Wang Gouzi on the shoulder and said, "You brought back a good thing."

"Yes!"

Even Gao Yu, who was usually calm, was very excited. He did not forget that the elm cannon was easy to make and they could make it themselves.

"Quick, test the shotgun..."

"Let me try, Captain!"

With the example of the elm cannon, the guerrillas present all wanted to try out the power of the new weapon.
