Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

Since the Eighth Route Army is willing to play with them at this time, they will definitely cooperate with it fully. After all, the reputation of the Eighth Route Army for benevolence and righteousness is widely known, and they will never do anything to harm friendly forces.

While there is still plenty of time, Captain Long decided to lead the entire regiment to build fortifications as quickly as possible. Fortunately, they had previously wiped out a battalion of Japanese devils and seized a large number of engineering shovels, which were perfect for digging trenches.

If a real fighting breaks out later, and the Sichuan Army fails to stop the Japanese fleeing troops and allows some of the enemy to escape, then the Sichuan Army will become the sinner.

You know, with the character of the Japanese, as long as some people from the Noda Regiment escaped, even if only one squadron, they would lie with their eyes open and say that the Noda Regiment was only severely damaged and not completely wiped out.

Only by killing all the Japanese and collecting all their epaulettes and personal belongings can we nail down this military achievement and leave the Japanese speechless.

Captain Long even set up a minefield in front of the position. As long as the Japanese dared to approach here, they would never return.

At this time, Captain Wu sneaked over and whispered in Captain Long's ear a shocking secret.

"Commander, when I went to the independent regiment today, I found that they were processing grenades. There were only seven people behind the main force, and they were able to produce grenades at any time. It was really eye-opening."

After hearing this, Captain Long was also very shocked and immediately asked curiously:

"This kind of thing is confidential no matter where it is. It's a bit impossible for the independent group to let you see it."

"Commander, it's true. I have cooperated with the independent regiment in combat before and I am quite familiar with them. I even specifically asked if I could watch it, and they didn't object."

"I think this method is very suitable for our Sichuan Army. As long as we learn these methods, we can make grenades ourselves, and our strength will definitely be greatly improved."

"Commander, why don't you talk to Captain Li and see if there is any chance for you to learn this technique."

Captain Long was also very excited after hearing this. He looked at his watch and found that it was still early, so he decided to go and take a look.

However, when he arrived at the headquarters of the independent regiment, he found that Commander Qin was also there.

"Captain Long, you're here just in time. I forgot to mention one thing just now. Now that Captain Qin is here, I'll mention it together."

"We, the Eighth Route Army Ordnance, have recently invented something very useful, called the seven-man grenade-carrying manufacturing process, which is very suitable for the Eighth Route Army, Sichuan Army, and Shaanxi Army, which have insufficient logistical supplies."

"This kind of thing cannot be explained in just a few words. I will take you to the scene to see it directly."

In fact, the reason why Li Yunlong did this was to implement the long-term plan of his superiors. Now that the Japanese are powerful, we must unite all the forces that can be united, and at the same time enhance the combat capabilities of friendly forces.

Units like the Central Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, which have their own arsenals, would certainly look down upon things produced in such small workshops. However, they are particularly important for units like the Sichuan Army, the Shaanxi Army, the Yunnan Army, the Guangxi Army, and the Guizhou Army, which are far away from their own territories and fight as foreign troops.

Of course, having said that, the quality of the grenades produced in this way is definitely not as good as those produced by the arsenals in the rear, but the advantage is that they can be provided to combat troops continuously.

As the old saying goes, "People cannot be taught, but things can be taught."

If this technology was promoted by the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, it would easily be misunderstood as having ulterior motives, and many troops would be very reluctant to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army.

Only through communication and dissemination among the troops below can the production method of this grenade be promoted as soon as possible, the overall combat capability of each unit be improved, and a greater blow to the Japanese devils be dealt.

Especially the regiment-level combat units of various forces are the most suitable. If the position is higher, there will be many concerns. If the position is low, people's words will be insignificant and the effect will not be that great.

As long as the production process of seven-man back-bone grenades can be rolled out on a large scale in China, even if we kill a hundred more Japanese devils every day, we can consume the strength of an enemy division in a year, which is also a great achievement.

When the three arrived at the grenade production place at the rear of the independent regiment, they saw dozens of people busy working there. The grenades were being produced and quickly packed and sent to the troops at the front line.

When Captain Long and Captain Qin saw this scene, their eyes widened into disbelief.

To be honest, although the two men had been soldiers for so many years and had used countless grenades, it was the first time they saw how grenades were made.

In the minds of the two men, all weapons and ammunition were produced in an arsenal, and that place should be formal and serious, but the scene before them felt like a makeshift team.

Li Yunlong felt very proud when he saw the two people so shocked, as their reactions were exactly the same as when he first saw them.

Captain Long looked at it for a while, and then asked impatiently:

"Captain Li, what is the output of this grenade production model? What do we need to prepare?"

"Captain Long, according to our statistics, once the troops have finished their march, it will take about 40 minutes from lighting the stove to producing the first grenade. After that, we can just keep producing them."

"In terms of production, we can produce about three per hour, depending on the proficiency of the staff."

Captain Qin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately added, "Captain Li, I just counted and there are only seven people on the scene. Doesn't that mean that as long as we have this set of equipment, we can produce grenades endlessly?"

"My 244th Regiment, to put it bluntly, usually only had about grenades in stock. Every time we fought with the Japanese, we were always very hesitant and extremely unhappy."

"We can produce three missiles per hour now, which means thirty missiles in ten hours. If a regiment can produce a few more, our regiment's heavy firepower will be greatly increased."

It's a pity to say that among all the countries that can be named in the world, only the Chinese army uses grenades as heavy weapons. Even so, they have never been satisfied.

"You two, actually this simple grenade production technology only simplifies the process. It also requires the preparation of explosives and fuse devices in advance, and there are many restrictions."

"Generally speaking, it is used to urgently replenish the troops' inventory after they are stationed or when the battle lasts for a long time."

"I'm sure everyone knows that for a frontline like ours that has been confronting the Japanese for years, if we want to get grenades, it's too difficult to transport them from the rear. If we only need to transport a small amount of explosives, it will definitely be much easier."

"Of course, you can also make some black powder yourself, one nitre, two sulfur and three charcoal. Although the power is a little weak, anything that can draw out pus is a good plaster. As long as we can kill the Japanese, we don't care about any method."
