"Why don't we find a place to test it.Dagger starter" At this time, Chang De also came over and said with a smile."
But now the little devil hasn't gone far, in case the explosion sums the little devil to come."
Li Guotao frowned and said, although Li Guotao couldn't wait, it was better to be careful at this time."
Then wait."
Changde said with some disappointment.After more than an hour, the scouts who went out to scout came back to report that the little devil had retreated back to the city.Li Guotao looked up at Xiao Zhangzhuang, who was in a sea of fire, and couldn't help but scold, "This time it's cheaper for them, but we will avenge this revenge sooner or later." ”"Let's find a place to test the fireworks cannon you said first," Changde interjected.Li Guotao nodded, and said yes, several people found an open place, and the soldiers also ran over to see the excitement."
This is the flower cannon you said" Chang De looked at the mallet-sized flower cannon that Lei Zhen was holding in his hand, with 3 straws tied to the back of the flower cannon and a grenade.Chang De frowned and said with a puzzled expression, "Can this thing work?"
"I don't know if I tried it" Li Guotao was also bottomless in his heart, turned his head to Lei Zhen and said, "Let's start" Lei Zhen nodded, put the big flower cannon on the ground, motioned for everyone to dodge a little, and after lighting the fuse, he hurriedly hid to the side.A ball of flame erupted from the tail of the "Jiu" flower cannon, let out a piercing scream, and flew forward diagonally.The "boom" cannon landed on the ground, making a violent explosion.Chang De was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him, and even Li Guotao couldn't help but be a little surprised, and after a visual inspection, the flower cannon flew out at least more than 300 meters, and then landed and exploded."
Succeeded" or Lei Zhen was the first to react, shouting loudly with cheers.Li Guotao and Chang De glanced at each other, and then a group of people ran over with a cheer, looking at the big crater blown up by the grenade, Chang De nodded with satisfaction, and said excitedly, "This thing is really good, it can fly so far, it has to be at least three hundred meters, you kid is really good" Li Guotao shook his head and said, "This is all the credit of Lei Zhen, and it has nothing to do with me." ”"You kid did a good job, give you a credit," Chang De happily patted Lei Zhen's shoulder and said.Lei Zhen hurriedly shook his head and grinned, "If it wasn't for the captain's reminder, I wouldn't have been able to do this, all of this is the captain's credit." ”"It doesn't matter whose credit it is, the important thing is that with this thing, it's enough for the little devil to drink a pot."
Chang De said with a smile.Li Guotao nodded, "Well, we can make the gunpowder used to make this flower cannon and these braided grenades ourselves, and we can produce this kind of flower cannon in large quantities in the future, under the current conditions, with this thing, our firepower should be greatly improved." ”The braided grenade was a kind of homemade grenade produced by the Eighth Route Army at that time, which was wrapped with hemp rope to wrap explosives and shrapnel, and this kind of grenade exploded on the ground, which was a weapon often used by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army at that time."
It's just that this cannon still has some shortcomings, the biggest shortcoming is accuracy, you see, this deviates from the target at least more than ten meters away, such accuracy is too poor, it is used to attack the little devil of the cluster charge, but if you want to accurately hit the enemy's key targets, it is not possible at all, so you have to seize the time to improve it, and it is best to minimize the error as much as possible."
Li Guotao frowned and said with a serious face."
Captain, don't worry, we will definitely work hard and strive to make a better starting cannon," Lei Zhen said excitedly."
Well, I'm sure you'll make it."
Li Guotao smiled and patted Lei Zhen's shoulder and said."
I have an idea that I don't know if it's okay or not, I want to pull some of my colleagues who make fireworks from the neighborhood to our county brigade to help us produce fireworks."
Lei Zhen said with a smile.Li Guotao didn't speak, but turned his head to look at Changde.Chang De laughed and said, "Look at what I'm doing, this is a good thing, no matter who wants to fight devils, we welcome anyone who is willing to join our Eighth Route Army" "That's great," Lei Zhen said happily."
I have a suggestion that Lei Zhen take the lead and set up a workshop specializing in the production of firecrackers, mines, grenades and other weapons to solve our weapon supply problems."
Li Guotao said with a smile."
This proposal is good, let Lei Zhen be in charge of this matter in the future, whether it is a shortage of manpower or any materials, come directly to Captain Li or come directly to me, as long as we can get something, we will try to solve it for you."
Changde said with a smile."
Yes," Lei Zhen said excitedly.After the test was over, Chang De pulled Li Guotao aside, "The little devil has already left, we don't need to be here anymore, calculate the time, Commander Meng should have arrived in Anguo, and we should also set off to meet Commander Meng and them." ”"Well, that's without further ado, let's go," Li Guotao nodded and said."
Report chief, Chang De, the captain of the Anguo County Brigade, came to report, please instruct," Chang De stood up and saluted a standard military salute after seeing Commander Meng, and said loudly.Commander Meng returned a military salute and said with a smile, "I'm relieved to see that you are all right, this should be Comrade Li Guotao" "Report to the chief, Li Guotao, the captain of the second team of the Anguo County Brigade." ”Li Guotao stood up and said with a serious face."
yes, that's good."
Commander Meng nodded, stretched out his hand to shake Li Guotao, and said politely, "Come and let's sit down and talk." ”Commander Meng's troops did not enter the village to station, and temporarily found an open place outside the village to temporarily rest, and a temporary grass hut was Commander Meng's headquarters.There were no tables, chairs and benches, and bundles of wheat straw became benches, and Commander Meng warmly beckoned the two of them to sit down."
Why doesn't the chief enter the village, Zhaozhuang, which is not far away, is a famous fortress village nearby, why doesn't the chief take the troops there to rest," Chang De asked with a puzzled face.Commander Meng smiled and waved his hand and said, "We won't stay here this time, so don't disturb the nearby villagers, this threshing floor is good, we will spend the night here, and we should leave tomorrow." ”"I left in such a hurry, I thought that the commander came over in person this time, and there was some big action, and I was happy in vain."
Changde said with some disappointment.Commander Meng is not only the deputy commander of the Hebei Military Region, but also the commander of the Fourth Army Division, and Anguo County belongs to the jurisdiction of the Fourth Army Division."
This time there is indeed a big operation, but well," Commander Meng said with a smile.aa2705221:
