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

After hearing this, Captain Huang rolled his eyes and said unhappily:

"You want to get beauty, how dare you be so shameless? Why are all the good things given to your first company? Then the other three company commanders of our second battalion will be very excited. Then I will not be able to continue my job as battalion commander."

"Since this new type of grenade is so large, it has far exceeded our expectations. I will leave you a hundred of them. You cooperate with Mo Gongduo to test them."

"The Japanese were stunned all of a sudden. It will take some time for them to adjust. It will be no problem for you to hold out until dark."

Captain Ba thought about it and realized that it was impossible to supply such newly produced products in large quantities. However, when he remembered that he still had a hundred pills, he immediately became excited.

In fact, it was a bit of a waste to throw out those ten bombs at the same time. This kind of good thing should be given to the person who is best at throwing bombs and thrown slowly to maximize the lethality.

Moreover, the distance must be kept, and it can definitely achieve the effect of catching the enemy by surprise when used in critical moments or where a large number of Japanese troops gather.

The army is not well-off now, so everyone must learn to be thrifty, otherwise the little money they have can be squandered easily.

With these powerful weapons in hand, the Japanese would have to consider carefully whether they can accept large-scale casualties if they want to launch a large-scale "pig attack".

You can also use the tactic of false and real. When the Japanese are ready, they will find that what is dropped at their feet is a black powder grenade that exploded in two pieces. They will probably be furious.

But if the enemy lets down their guard, using this high-powered grenade to suddenly attack them can achieve great results.

The end result is that the Japanese attack formation will definitely not be as dense as before, which is very beneficial to many of our troops that lack firepower output density.

As expected, in the following battles, with the support of the new grenades, the Second Company fought much more calmly. At the same time, Battalion Commander Huang also transferred an artillery squad from the artillery platoon to the position to provide fire support.

The Japanese were much more cautious in their subsequent attacks, and ultimately only launched two squadron-level attacks to end today's battle.

At night, neither the enemy nor our side thought of launching a night attack. After all, it was too risky and involved many uncontrollable dangers.

We already have the advantage, so we just need to defend our positions and there is no need to create unnecessary trouble. The Japanese are not good at night combat and will not choose to launch a sneak attack at night.

The next day, the second company of the second battalion took over the position and held it safely for another day with the help of more than a hundred grenades. Although there were also heavy casualties, the attacking Japanese suffered even greater losses.

At night, the communicator from the regiment headquarters came to inform the latest combat order. The original goal had been achieved, and the Second Battalion was ordered to withdraw from the position before dark and return to the base for rest.

Engineer Mo also completed his task and returned to the arsenal with a lot of test data, as well as some of the soldiers' experiences during use. These are all very valuable information.

At present, our strength is still very weak, and each grenade is extremely precious. It is impossible to carry out large-scale testing on the test field. It is most appropriate to use the Japanese devils to verify it on the battlefield.

The reason why the 771st Regiment completed its tactical goals so quickly this time had a lot to do with this batch of new grenades.

Moreover, the troops who participated in the attack on the Japanese stronghold used a batch of offensive grenades, and the effect was very significant.

Of course, such small-scale battles occurred every day in our base. After the 20,000 grenades were handed over to the front-line combat troops for testing, they were quickly consumed.

Next, the front-line commanders, having tasted the sweetness, applied to their superiors to equip their troops with new grenades.

Those who had radio stations sent telegrams directly, and those who didn't had the regiment commander and the political commissar go to their superiors together and beg for more money.

The main reason is that this new type of grenade is very easy to use. The offensive grenade is compact and lightweight. Any soldier can throw it more than 40 meters away. It has very good explosive power and produces many fragments.

When attacking, soldiers can carry multiple grenades and throw them while charging. As long as they can throw the grenades into the Japanese machine gun position, one grenade can kill five or six Japanese soldiers.

Unlike before, under the cover of a large number of brave soldiers, the grenade thrower was lucky enough to throw the grenade into the enemy's machine gun bunker, but it could only blow it in two, causing minimal damage to the enemy. At most five minutes later, the Japanese heavy machine guns would continue to fire again.

Defensive grenades are extremely powerful. Before the Japanese attack our position, throwing this type of grenade can cause great damage to the enemy, disrupt their offensive rhythm, and buy time for us to adjust our firepower.

Of course, both are good things, but if forced to choose one, most front-line commanders would choose defensive grenades.

The main reason is that it has a great explosion power, produces many fragments, and can make the Japanese cry for their parents.

Our troops are often in ambushes, and we need this kind of high-powered grenade to support us.

In the end, all these situations were summarized by Minister Zhang of Logistics, which gave him a headache.

"Commander, the new type of hand grenades currently produced by the arsenal have received a good response from the frontline combat troops. The heads of various military regions have sent telegrams one after another, requesting that this type of hand grenade be allocated first. I just roughly counted it, and at least 200,000 grenades are needed to meet the requirements of the front line."

"Of course, this is just a preliminary request. The leaders specifically added a sentence in the telegram: the more the better."

Minister Zhang was speechless after hearing this astonishing data. This new type of hand grenade is not like cabbage in the field. You can't just pull as many as you want.

There are many technologies involved here, especially the production of new explosives. We are still in our early stages and many things need to be summarized and improved.

It took the arsenal nearly ten days to produce these 20,000 test grenades, and this has already used up the recently produced inventory of new explosives. It will take some time before they can start large-scale production again.

In addition, based on the performance of this grenade on the battlefield, the arsenal needs to make some technical improvements before it can produce the second batch.

Although the response from the first batch of soldiers was positive, many problems also emerged, which need to be solved.

And most importantly, the arsenal's grenade launcher production line and mortar production line have been shipped back for debugging and will soon be put into large-scale production.

Currently, most of the manpower and material resources of the arsenal are invested in it. The leaders of the major bases have been looking forward to it for a long time. Even some combat plans that were originally prepared have been postponed because of these two production lines.

To put it bluntly, a grenade is only a weapon for close-range attacks. Even the most powerful shooter can only throw a grenade a hundred meters at most. At this distance, a rifle can also attack.
