Dong San, director of the Military Industry Research Institute of the First Independent Anti-Japanese Detachment in Northwestern Shanxi, looked in admiration.
Kong Jie continued to apply his knowledge with a calm expression.
"On the principle of increasing the kinetic energy of the bullet, we can increase the quality and speed of the bullet by increasing the charge, without changing the caliber of the bullet. In this way, the original rifle can continue to fire bullets with increased kinetic energy. .”
"In addition, if you want to destroy the Japs' armor, you have to find ways to increase the penetration of bullets."
"What is penetration? To put it simply, it is the ability to penetrate armor."
"This is where we can make changes to the point of contact where the bullet hits the target, such as a reverse slug."
"Reverse warhead?" Dong San was a little confused. This was the first time he had heard of such a concept.
Kong Jie smiled and gave an example: "That is to say, the warhead is loaded into the cartridge case in reverse. Anyway, according to the shooting principle of bullets, whether it is a formal or reverse-loaded warhead, it will not affect the firing of the bullet itself."
"If we reverse the warhead, at the moment when the warhead contacts the armor, due to the increased contact area of the warhead, the core inside the warhead will produce an energy-gathering effect under the extrusion of the impact force, and the splashed warhead fragments and armor will The fragments hit the car like a small shotgun blast."
"This is quite deadly for some of the Japanese's ultra-light armored vehicles. Bullets that penetrate the cabin will fragment and spread into metal fragments, flying out, achieving the effect of killing the tank crew."
Dong San nodded thoughtfully and said: "Captain, if you explain it this way, I think this reverse-loading warhead is indeed a feasible method."
Kong Jie said: "There are pros and cons. Reversing the warhead will increase the wear and tear of the gun, and may even cause the chamber to explode. In addition, the improvement in penetration is not obvious, and it can only deal with some ultra-light armor of the Japanese."
"Once the armor thickness exceeds ten millimeters, this anti-loading warhead will basically have no effect."
"This indigenous method was used by the Germans before, and it was used against early ultra-light tanks in the European war at that time."
"Later, the Germans tried to improve the material of the bullet core and used harder bullet core materials, such as tungsten and other materials. The effect was much better than the anti-loading warhead."
"Later on, people developed an anti-tank rifle commonly known as the elephant gun."
"Right now, our conditions are insufficient, so let's find a way to work on bullets first! For tungsten gold, we can look for money from the 57th Regiment to save money. Some national soldiers who make dirty money often smuggle tungsten gold mines to the little devils."
"Yes!" Dong San responded.
Then Dong San took Kong Jie to visit some wind energy generators recently developed by the repair institute.
These wind energy generators are modified from DC generators disassembled from captured Japanese cars.
Dong San said: "Captain, there are some high-lying hills in the Taihang area that have abundant wind energy and strong winds all year round. With this wind energy generator, our repair shop, including some factories, can solve a lot of power problems. .”
After Dong San finished speaking, he originally wanted to see a look of surprise on his captain's face, but Kong Jie said calmly:
"Since you mentioned the conversion and utilization of energy, I can give you some suggestions for the repair shop."
"In addition to wind energy, we can also ferment biogas ourselves and use the biogas as heat energy. In addition, solar energy is also an energy source that we can easily utilize."
"Take the use of solar energy as an example. I recently designed a flat-panel heat collecting box, which can collect solar energy in the form of thermal energy in an insulated box for utilization. Not to mention many, in this summer, a flat-panel heat collecting box There is no problem in using a heat collecting box to accumulate a day’s worth of solar energy and heat a day’s meals for our squad of soldiers.”
"In addition, now that our base area is getting larger and larger, and we are accepting more and more refugees, drinking water for soldiers and villagers is still a big problem.
If you want to meet the hygienic standards for drinking water, it is best to boil the water before drinking it. However, you can only rely on ordinary firewood to boil the water. The utilization of heat energy is too low, which consumes manpower and material resources, and also wastes the wood resources in the mountains and forests. "
"It just so happens that we use solar energy to build a hot water tank. The initial goal is to equip each company with one to build a hot water room to ensure that the soldiers of the company can have hot water and cold drinks at any time during daily training."
Dong San: "..."
"Captain, if you still have any good things in your stomach, just pour them out! Otherwise, you should stop being the commander and become the director of our military industry research institute!"
"You brat!" Kong Jie scolded with a smile.
…
…
Two days later, Lu Shunmin, commander of the third battalion of the 28th Regiment, rushed to the first detachment, met Kong Jie at the detachment headquarters, and reported to Kong Jie the difficulties faced by the troops after the Japanese used a large number of tanks and armored vehicles in the central Hebei region.
"Captain Kong, our independent regiment has rich experience in dealing with Japanese tanks. It was our regiment commander who asked me to come here for help this time!"
Kong Jie said: "Shunmin, I have already understood the situation in Jizhong. I have been making preparations for anti-tank operations during this period, and I am almost ready now.
You happen to be here, so without further ado, give me half a day to prepare. I will send reinforcements to return to Jizhong with you early tomorrow morning. "
"Very good!"
Lu Shunmin was overjoyed, and at the same time secretly sighed, it turned out that Commander Kong had prepared everything a long time ago.
...The first team is directly under the commando training ground.
The current commando team is considered a brand-new commando team.
The original old commando members, Ye Min, Cao Zheng, Mu Mu, etc., had already been transferred to various units by Kong Jie. Some of them became the commanders of the assault company, and some became the company commanders of the sharp knife company.
The commando team was replenished with fresh blood and grew to its current size of eighty people.
In terms of quantity, it has already caught up with the original Yamamoto special agent team.
The training of the team members was handled by Cao Zheng, Ye Min, Wang Xikui and other veteran commandos.
Ye Min, Wang Xikui, Cao Zheng, and Mu Mu, who are known for their rigorous and almost perverted training methods, are also known as the four devil instructors of the commando team.
At the mention of these four devil instructors, all the new commando team members who were brought along all trembled a little. It was too painful to look back on the past.
As for the newly formed commando team, Duan Peng, who was appointed as the commando team leader by Kong Jie, the team members had long heard that he was a fierce man trained by four perverted instructors.
He even commanded a commando team to destroy the Japanese Mingbao Airport.
Therefore, the team members had no objections to the choice of commando captain Duan Peng.
It's just that there is still a gap between Duan Peng and the team members. The cooperation between them is more like that of comrades, but it lacks some of the cohesion and intimacy of the former commandos.
"How has Duan Peng been learning from you lately?"
Kong Jie asked as he led the monk all the way to the commando training ground.
The monk scratched his head and said humbly: "Captain, actually I have never understood that Captain Ye and four other instructors personally trained Duan Peng for such a long time. Duan Peng learned almost everything he should learn. Well, what do you want Duan Peng to learn from me?"
Kong Jie said: "Learn from your boy who is honest on the surface, but secretly cheats and tricks; learn from your boy how to go to the headquarters to steal my wine!"
Monk: "..."
"Commander, please stop making fun of me. Why did I admit my mistake when I stole wine?"
"Did you really admit your mistake?"
"I really admit my mistake!"
"I got another bottle of good wine two days ago. I couldn't bear to drink it, so I took a few sips. But when I found it today, I found that only the bottom of the bottle was left. Tell me, this wine has arrived. Where did it go?"
Seeing Kong Jie looking over, the monk quickly turned his head and replied seriously: "Report to the leader, there have been rats in our house recently!"
Kong Jie scolded: "You brat, do you mean that rats can twist bottle caps and steal my wine?"
Cough cough cough——
The monk laughed awkwardly.
Kong Jie said: "Let me see, this rat is also from the Shaolin Temple. He is very skilled in martial arts. Not only can he twist bottle caps, but he is also a bald-headed monk!"
Monk: "..."
"Captain, I know I was wrong. Trust me, I will never steal your wine again."
"Have you ever seen a sow climb a tree?" Kong Jie asked.
"What?" The monk, who was trying to squeeze out two drops of cat tears with an expression on his face, was stunned. "Captain, you are just trying to make fun of me. How did this sow get into the tree?"
"Then why should I believe you?"
"..."
When the two arrived at the commando training ground, the training ground seemed to be bustling. The monk was about to greet Duan Peng when he was stopped by Kong Jie.
"Don't worry, just observe and observe first."
With that said, Kong Jie took the monk and hid at the base of the house wall, looking at the situation on the training ground with a telescope.
Duan Peng was hiding in the shade with his team members. He pulled a bench from nowhere and was having an arm wrestling competition with the team members.
The party competing at this moment is Duan Peng.
What then made the monk's heart twitch when he saw it was that there were several bottles of liquor that Ning had already opened on the side of the playing field.
Kong Jie looked at it for a moment and finally understood:
"You mean, this guy Duan Peng seems to have set up an arena, and whoever can beat him in arm wrestling can get a sip of soju?"
The monk breathed a sigh of relief, but asked with some confusion: "Captain, are you not angry when you look at me?"
"What are you angry about?" Kong Jie asked.
The monk said: "As the captain of the commando team, Duan Peng didn't lead the team members to train properly. He even arm-wrestled here and secretly led the team members to drink. This is a violation of discipline."
"You drink too, and you steal my wine. Doesn't that violate discipline?" Kong Jie asked.
The monk was speechless, and then he heard the leader of his group say sincerely:
"The core point of special operations is team cooperation. In special operations missions that are impossible for conventional forces to complete, only every team member believes in his teammates and can give his own back without hesitation. Only with partners can we accomplish the most difficult tasks through close collaboration.”
"The commando team is not a place to promote individual heroism, but a complete group that emphasizes close coordination and cooperation."
"When Ye Min led the commando team, he did it perfectly, so I am relieved."
"But Duan Peng's character is still a bit more youthful and energetic. Since he joined the recruit company, he has stood out in a very dazzling manner. This will create a sense of pride in his heart. I have always been worried that he will not be able to integrate into the group."
"So I asked him to learn from your monk. Your monk's cheeky look is actually very approachable to the soldiers."
Monk: "..."
Kong Jie continued: "So sometimes we should not be too rigid. Those who have done good things together are good comrades. But if we have done both good and bad things together and cover each other, then we are called good brothers."
"In addition to high-intensity training, leading the team members to organize some relaxing activities that can enhance their feelings is what a good commander should do."
"It can be seen that Duan Peng has initially integrated with the commando team. I believe that sooner or later, the new commando team will achieve the cohesiveness of the old commando team."
"Seeing this scene, I feel relieved about this plan to reinforce Jizhong."
After Lu Shunmin and his party arrived at the base area, Kong Jie made up his mind. He had told the monk before that the reinforcements to Jizhong this time would include his monk's guard company.
Captain Kong thought very clearly about this. Since reinforcements were to be concentrated, he should send out the most elite troops of the first detachment to build up the prestige of the first detachment.
The monk couldn't help but ask: "Captain, do you mean to let Duan Peng take the commando team and join our guard company to reinforce Jizhong?"
Kong Jie nodded: "Not bad."
The monk said in surprise: "That's great, Captain, you don't know that Duan Peng, this new recruit, I have long wanted to teach him a lesson on the battlefield."
