Qijiang County on January 1, 1941
Everyone on the plane was going crazy. Naturally, this operation to show strength to the allies could not continue. The anxious General Chen quickly ordered the plane to land. At the same time, the gendarmerie, medical soldiers, and ambulances were already on standby on the ground. The whole county was in a state of panic. Some people even thought it was the Japanese bombing and hid in the nearby air-raid shelter.
This Li-2 transport plane is also modified. Otherwise, if dozens of people were fighting in the cargo hold, this plane would be really prone to problems. But even so, the plane is still shaky due to frequent changes in the center of gravity. , the people on the ground were shocked and frightened. Damn it, the foreign devil is dead, but General Chen is still on the plane!
At this time, even Li Yunlong, who was inspecting a nearby grenade factory, rushed to the airport. Lao Li even called the county government and asked the county government to prepare to recruit minzhuang to organize search and rescue. Patrol boats on the Qijiang River were also in action, ready at any time. .
The plane bounced on the runway when it landed, and even leaned forward, which made Lao Li's heart pick up in his throat. Could these guys be crazy? We Lao Li all know how to engage in diplomacy. They are all smiling and rarely look happy. What's going on? It's almost going to be a world war. I guess it's thanks to the fact that I took away their weapons when I got on the plane, otherwise something big will happen today.
The plane stopped, and a group of people rushed forward. Before they could get close to the plane, the side cargo door of the plane slowly opened. Then, a jaw-dropping scene appeared. Dozens of diplomats from various countries appeared. There were four or five levels of struggle, and everything was mixed together, even a few local translators were included. Only General Chen and the adjutant stood aside innocently.
After the cargo hold was opened, Admiral Chen's adjutant jumped out, and then helped the admiral down. However, the admiral's left eye socket was now black and blue. He had obviously been hit, and the corners of Li Yunlong's mouth could be seen. With a jerk, he took a ppd-34 submachine gun from the monk's hand and pointed it at the sky.
A bunch of foreign devils and Japanese devils still wanted to get angry, but when they saw it, they were dumbfounded. It was so scary. Even if hundreds of guns were pointed at them, this guy Li Yunlong actually fired out tanks and armored vehicles, with black holes in the muzzles. Pointing at them like that, especially the action of pulling the gun bolt, made many people feel chills on their backs.
This is a time of war, and it is not uncommon for guns to go off. If a soldier's gun goes off, others will definitely follow. In a few seconds, they will become a pile of minced meat, and then word will spread. There was news that the transport plane crashed or was shot down by the Japanese, and their country would not embarrass a big country because of this.
The stubborn diplomats raised their hands consciously, even the British ambassador, who had always been unruly, was no exception. What's more, a military attache from a certain country was frightened to the point of peeing, and several Japanese attachés looked disgusted at the sight. Disdainful, so shameful, even less courageous than us.
Resisting the urge in his heart to kill all these guys, Li Yunlong quickly arranged for medical staff to treat these guys. Regardless of others, Ambassador Hans and Colonel Rudolf still have a very good relationship with him. By the way, does our old Li have a good relationship with him? I was dazzled by where Rudolph's clothes were, and who was the shameless guy who actually tore off his chest hair. It hurt to look at it.
After the fight stopped, all the diplomats became civilized people. The British ambassador and the Noodle Country ambassador, who had been having a fierce fight just now, even shared cigars and joked with each other, leaving the one who got punched General Chen had the urge to shoot something black.
"Sir, do you want it?" Li Yunlong came to General Chen's side and made a gesture of wiping his neck in a sinister manner. He couldn't touch these guys, but it doesn't mean that General Chen couldn't move them. As long as General Chen made up his mind. , he doesn’t care about killing one or two guys, it’s inconvenient to kill them all, but it’s no problem to arrange “Japanese agents” to kill one or two. Lao Zhao’s secret service has been cleaning up foreign devils a lot recently.
"Forget it, don't make trouble, take me to see your arsenal." Admiral Chen shook his head. He was beaten for no reason. He was also very angry in his heart. But let him clean up the diplomats. He It still can't be done. Besides, Li Yunlong can't be allowed to do this. Director Dai is the professional.
"Sir, I just have a small workshop, not worth mentioning." Li Yunlong said a little embarrassedly. The weapons workshops in his hands were specially designed by Wang Yue. They were scattered and small, and the equipment was also very advanced. Each weapons workshop is simple and crude. Each weapons workshop is controlled to less than eight people, and the equipment cost is less than one hundred silver dollars. There is only one goal, and that is that even if these workshops are destroyed, no big losses will be caused.
The direct consequence of this is that Li Yunlong doesn't even look down on these small workshops, let alone the Lijiapo Arsenal. Even the previous 772 regiment's repair shop was more decent than the workshops here. Li Yunlong also knew that the output of these workshops and The quality far exceeded that of Lijiapo Arsenal, but he felt really unhappy.
"Hurry up!" General Chen put on the sunglasses that the adjutant got from somewhere, walked forward, and boarded Li Yunlong's car.
The car started, and after running for almost two miles, it stopped in front of a dilapidated adobe house. The adobe house was in great dilapidation, and the walls were still stained with alkali. It should have been flooded during the high water period. If it weren't for the chimney. There were also curls of smoke and dust rising, and everyone would think it was an abandoned adobe house.
There is nothing strange about General Chen. He just thought it was the passage leading to the underground arsenal. After all, the Ordnance Industry Administration has many such underground factories. It is like the underground in Shancheng City. The garrison headquarters was hollowed out.
Just after opening the door, General Chen had a dark look on his face, because this adobe house was actually a weapons workshop, with an area of more than 20 square meters, piled with messy raw materials, simple small equipment, and seven Some clumsy workers.
"Is this a grenade production line?" General Chen took out a grenade from a wooden box on one side and asked in disbelief. There were only seven people. The projectile body, wooden handle, flame tube, black powder production equipment and semi-finished products were all there. Placed in front of him, it felt a bit magical no matter what.
"Sir, this is the simple grenade production line I designed. I call it the 'Seven-Man Back'. The core idea of the Seven-Man Back is to use all the materials that can be found in the countryside. Iron farm tools, iron pots and other iron-containing materials can be melted All metals can be melted to cast the shell, and the charcoal and wood found in rural areas can be used as materials for wooden handles and black powder for hand grenades. Hand grenades can be produced with a minimum amount of external raw materials." Li Yunlong said with a shy face, But he was full of resentment in his heart. There was no other reason. Naturally, Wang Yue forced him to copy the "Seven People Memorize" article, and also asked him to circulate it internally on a small scale, and even sent it to northern Shaanxi, becoming a member of the Anti-Japanese University. Textbook.
"Using raw materials from rural areas to produce grenades?" Compared with Li Yunlong's indifference, General Chen's eyes lit up. The Eighth Route Army has a huge base area behind enemy lines, and there is also a huge base area behind enemy lines in the mountain city. The situation in the base areas is even worse than in North China. Seriously, if the government wants to transport supplies to these base areas, it will require a lot of manpower and material resources. If there is such a simple grenade production line, then the government can use the limited transportation capacity to provide more weapons and ammunition to the base areas.
Although grenades are the only weapon that the mountain city government can supply, this supply is relative. If a large-scale operation is really launched, it will still not be enough. A grenade factory like this is useful even in the rear. General Chen has even considered setting up such a grenade factory in every county in the rear area.
"Theoretically, it is possible. Considering the production efficiency, the grenades in this workshop are currently mixed with digested starch and black powder. The body of the grenade is also cast from gray pig iron. The reliability and power of the grenade have been greatly improved. , has surpassed the Gong grenade." Li Yunlong said with some pride.
"How is the output?" Admiral Chen asked.
"Currently, one hundred grenades can be produced here a day. If we completely use self-produced black powder and low-quality pig iron, we can produce twenty-four grenades a day. The power of the grenades will be a little less, but they will still have considerable lethality. , can meet the minimum combat needs." Li Yunlong was a little unsure when he spoke. The minimum combat needs are made in the border area.
"So high?" General Chen exclaimed. Even at the lowest level, there are more than three grenades per person. Twenty-four grenades a day are enough to fight a small ambush. With this, many small base areas The ammunition situation has been solved. After all, no one has to fight every day.
The cost of a grenade at the Ordnance Industry Department is Ocean 80 cents, which is almost five yuan in legal currency. If 24 grenades are produced in a day, the cost is definitely cheaper than the grenades produced by the Ordnance Industry Department. As for the weak power? Don't be kidding, the grenades issued by the Ordnance Industry Administration are also graded. The grenades distributed by miscellaneous troops and enemy armed forces, let alone black powder grenades, may not necessarily explode or not.
"The investment in this grenade factory is only five yuan. It is a demonstration factory. We also have an upgraded version of the factory, which uses nitrostarch produced by the explosives factory and a stamping machine to stamp the grenade body. A production factory with seven people can do this in one day. To produce thousands of hand grenades, the more expensive one requires an investment of 200 yuan." Li Yunlong introduced with a smile.
