Chapter 176: Another New Product (1)

"Therefore, we will practice our own stabbing skills, and the officers and men of our independent regiment will defeat them in the most proud techniques and tactics of the Japanese invaders, crush the pride of their so-called imperial army, and make them tremble like lambs to the slaughter under our army thorns, but we will not spare our hands, whether they are afraid or trapped beasts, we will plunge into their hearts with the thorns in our hands. The bloody spur of the pen www.biquge.info is our only answer to the beast. Liu Lang paused for a moment and looked around.

Tongue yelled: "You guys, can you do it? ”

"And I, can I trust you?"

"Yes, yes, yes~~~"

Everyone present, whether officers, veterans or recruits, all waved their arms and shouted loudly.

The loud roar of hundreds of people echoed through the surrounding mountains.

Even the veterans who were still perfecting the tunnel fortifications on the mountain peaks a few miles away couldn't help but look over here to see what kind of madness these recruits were doing, and their voices were about to burst!

It's still my party's set! Liu Lang, who involuntarily used the fixed model of boosting the morale of the political commissars at all levels of the army in his previous life, couldn't help but sigh in his heart: When it comes to ideological and political education, looking at the whole world, except for our party, there is really no one who can do it.

Of course, except for the outright foolish policy of a certain three fats in the bitter cold land.

History has proven that the powerful Mongols were driven back to Mobei with that rule that lasted only 90 years in the Central Plains, and if it wasn't cold enough, they were almost wiped out by the powerful Ming army.

When the surrounding landslides and tsunamis-like shouts gradually stopped, Liu Lang looked at Cai Dadao and said, "Do you understand now?" It is never the weapons that determine victory or not, but the people, the iron will and the determination to move forward. Since your swordsmanship is so good, I will allow you to bring your broadsword with you in wartime, but you will have to cut off the heads of at least three Japanese criminals for me, can you do it? ”

"Report to the chief, Cai Dadao promises to complete the task." Cai Dadao's face was solemn, and he solemnly gave Liu Lang a military salute.

Perhaps it was not until this moment that Cai Dadao completely shed the coat of a bandit on his body and truly integrated himself into the role of a soldier.

A soldier, the blade of the country, should never show off his strength in front of his partners, but only show his edge in front of the enemy.

"Sir, trust us." The surrounding officers and soldiers also saluted Liu Lang in unison.

This is obviously a highly successful ideological awareness-raising.

In the next two weeks, both recruits and veterans not only practiced stabbing skills, but also practiced in other subjects, and their training results improved by leaps and bounds.

Liu Lang felt that it was very necessary for him to find a general subordinate similar to the political commissar of the Red Army who specialized in ideological work, and ideological work was really important.

Time passed day by day in the hot recruit training, and it entered the hot August.

At the beginning of the establishment of the independent regiment base, Liu Lang proposed that the three factories that must be built have also begun to take shape.

The blast furnace of the steelmaking plant has been officially put into operation, and if the raw materials are sufficient, it can produce one ton of low-carbon steel per day, up to 30 tons per month, and 360 tons per year. This is already an extremely remarkable achievement, you must know that in the entire Republic of China, large and small steel mills combined, the output is only 30,000 tons a year.

Liu Lang doesn't need to build tanks and armored vehicles now, of course, more importantly, he can't build them if he wants to, even if he can build them after 10,000 steps back, Liu Lang doesn't have enough fuel supply. From the beginning of the industrial age, China was an oil-poor country, even eighty-five years later.

Thirty tons of steel per month was enough for an independent regiment that only used to build light weapons and fortifications.

Qinglong Machinery Factory said that it was a machinery factory, and it has basically become a small military factory, in addition to making every effort to produce 7.92MM bullets suitable for Hanyang, it is according to Liu Lang's suggestion, under the leadership of several veteran technicians who have been dug from the Chongqing Military Factory in Chengdu for heavy remuneration, the melon-shaped grenade was developed.

When it comes to grenades, almost every Chinese person will have in their minds the image of soldiers holding grenades high and throwing them at the enemy far away, and there are even soldiers holding long-handled grenades as weapons to smash the enemy's brains to the ground.

Undoubtedly, the wooden long-handled grenade has become the standard of the Chinese army since the day of its birth, whether it is the Republic of China period or the future republic, and even to the self-defense counterattack in the southern jungle a few years later, the long-handled grenade is also a must-have. I don't know how much the Germans, the inventor of the long-handled grenade, want to ask China for the patent fee, presumably it must be an astronomical amount!

Wooden long-handled grenades can be manufactured and widely used, of course, it can be caught when it is most critical, and it can be used as a hammer to smash people, throw a long distance, throw accurately, can be clustered, that is, can be tied together as a large bomb, against armored vehicles, tanks and other big things, and can also prevent rolling, so as not to throw it out and roll back to blow yourself into slag.

It can be said that the long-handled grenade has many benefits and is worthy of being the favorite of Chinese soldiers.

But so many benefits have actually exposed a shortcoming of the Chinese army, that is, the lack of front-line firepower suppression. Completely use the grenade as a mortar. Trained soldiers are generally able to throw grenades fifty or sixty meters away, and the soldiers of the Republic have even had a record of throwing grenades 100 meters away, which is about the same distance as the grenadier canister of the Taisho decade in Japan.

And the shortcomings of the long-handled grenade are also very deadly, it is not only large in size but also weighs a pound, and it is the limit that a soldier can hang six or eight, which is also very disadvantageous for soldiers who need first-line fire suppression. Therefore, before the start of World War II, not only were all the wealthy American GIs equipped with melon-style grenades, but even the Japanese Ministry of the Army, which had always been eager to switch machine guns to single-shot shooting, equipped the soldiers with grenades and abandoned long-handled grenades.

Of course, these are incomparable to the national government, and they who finally learned to imitate the German M24 grenade will have extra time to develop melon grenades? As for the fatal shortcoming of not being able to bring more, it is not a problem, the soldiers of the national army who go to the battlefield can carry four grenades, which belongs to the treatment that only the rich and oily Central Army has.

Like Li Jiayu's 47th Army, which relied on a pair of iron feet to go out of Sichuan to resist the Japanese, the most awesome equipment on the whole body was two long-handled grenades hanging under the neck, which was the strongest individual heavy weapon of the Sichuan army.

The most deplorable thing is that the wooden handle of the German's long-handled grenade is hollow, and it is equipped with a lead and a firing device, and the national army does not know that the copycat engineer simply matched the lead and firing device to the front of the missile body for convenience, and the wooden handle is simply solid.

The weight has increased again.
