Starting from the bright sword to engage in military industry

Chapter 982 Chapter 991, copper is very important
Copper ingots, this thing is definitely one of the most important military supplies at this stage, but it is hard to get.However, while the devil is still making false claims with Yingjiang, if the businessman from Yingjiang's family helps to bring in a large number, it will be a profit.It doesn't need to be too much, seventy or eighty tons is enough for the end of the War of Resistance.Of course, the premise is that Hu Changyi will not come up with other new weapons.

Resources, why did Hu Changyi get out the Dinglong grenadier?Except that there is no machine on hand to process the rifling inside the launch tube of the grenadier, and the grenade of the devil grenade needs a circle of copper to seal.

The grenade needed by the Dinglong grenade is just a small mortar shell.To put it bluntly, the Dinglong grenadier is more like a 50mm mortar.The devil's grenade launcher is more like a grenade launcher that uses the principle of high and low air pressure to launch grenades.Well... one is a smoothbore gun and the other is a rifled gun.

In Jiuzhai, production is still going on. Even if Zhongtiao Mountain, which has a lot of copper resources, is lost, the bullet production line of the arsenal is still running.In fact, there are dozens of tons of matte and rough copper that Minister Zhang obtained from the Central Army, and they are not that lacking.In addition, there is also the copper mine in Qianzhao Village, which is also producing steadily.In particular, there are a lot more puppet soldiers working through labor reform, and the annual output of the copper mine in Qianzhao Village is also increasing.Well, it looks like three tons of blister copper a year after smelting... a little less.

However, the accumulation of a small amount, through various channels, is enough to ensure the stable operation of the bullet production line in Jiuzhaigou.

Moreover, as the arsenal has a stable output of sulfuric acid, and the sulfuric acid is inexhaustible, this gives the smelter a source of raw materials for hydrometallurgy.Well, to put it simply, it is to soak copper matte or copper ore powder in sulfuric acid to obtain a copper sulfate solution.Then, iron powder or thin iron sheets are put into these copper sulfate solutions for replacement, and copper can be obtained.

This method was not thought up by Hu Changyi, let alone learned from foreign countries. It is the wisdom borrowed from our ancestors, and it has been around for a long time.

The Battle of Zhongtiaoshan was fought in May, Guoku was defeated and fled, and even hoped that the Eighth Route would send troops to help fight.But... you mobilize the elite to fight us, we help you fight devils, you free your hands to fight us again? ?Take us for fools?Besides, the area controlled by Eight Roads is so far away from Zhongtiao Mountain, how can we help?What did you say when you divided the area with us?

"So, the Central Army is unreliable, and the Jinsui Army is also unreliable." The words of Political Commissar Zhao have now been widely circulated among the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. Even ordinary people know this truth deeply.
As a result, when the time entered June, various copper objects gradually gathered from various bases towards the Jiuzhai Arsenal.

In Shimen Village, the Ninth Detachment has a reception specifically for the guerrillas here.Guerrillas can use the captured materials to exchange weapons and ammunition directly from the arsenal.Early this morning, Captain Guo brought people and pushed three small carts here.Of course, they were released after being inspected from the brigade headquarters.

"Huh? Isn't this Captain Guo? What brought you here?" Lao Liu, the person in charge of the reception, dragged his leg out of the office and asked.

"Old Liu, go back and sit down quickly, your legs are inconvenient!" Captain Guo and Lao Liu were originally in the same unit, and knew that Lao Liu's leg was disabled by a heavy machine gun bullet on the battlefield.

"You look down on me, don't you? Isn't it just that I lost two catties of meat on my legs? I still beat devils! Give me a heavy machine gun, and I can fight a small team!" Lao Liu was most annoyed that others pitied him.

"Yeah, I know. Didn't the detachment leader equip you with a heavy machine gun? When the devils come, you will chop them hard!" Lao Guo said with a smile.

"Hey, that's how you get this treatment in the Ninth Detachment!" Speaking of this, Lao Liu got excited, pointing to a nine-two-fold wrapped in tarpaulin and said: "I, plus Laosun Laotie and Xiao Wang , all with inconvenient legs and feet, such wounded soldiers are useless elsewhere. But our detachment leader didn't dislike it, let us take charge here, and even equipped him with a heavy machine gun. That is, the devil's nine-two heavy is not easy to use .”

"How about we change it? I'll give you five crooked hands to change this?" Lao Guo said with a smile.

"Hurry up, it's cool over there, stay by yourself!" Lao Liu pointed to the walnut tree in the distance: "The crooked handle is not as good as Jiu Erzhong, which is the most suitable for your guerrillas! By the way, do you have any guerrillas?" Did you fight or what happened, why did you come here? Let me tell you, I am now a member of the Ninth Detachment, even though I am a field worker, I can’t open the back door.”

"Well, didn't you hear that Zhongtiao Mountain is gone, and we are short of copper here? You see, we mobilized the common people to get this!" Captain Guo said, pointing to the small cart.

"What's there?" Lao Liu led a few staff members to the small cart, opened the wooden box, and saw a large group of black and yellow copper coins, as well as various old objects with green hairs.

"These are copper coins, big and small. Most of them were looted from home by the common people, and some were exchanged from Qiao's house in the north with things. There are also some old objects. It looks like it’s made of copper, so I brought it here. Look at this, hehe, the little girls in the village heard that the team will use copper to make bullets, so they dismantled all their shuttlecocks.”

While Captain Guo was speaking, he pointed to the copper coins that were obviously worn out but had a yellow light on them, and said, "No, this Qianlong, this Yongzheng, this Shunzhi, this is Kangxi, this is Jiaqing, and the little girls Tied to chicken feathers and kicked for many years, now I use it to contribute to fight devils!"

"Hey, thank you little girls in your village! Why is there still a Buddha statue here? Could it be some old lady who contributed the Buddha statue she worshiped to Buddha?" Old Liu asked.

"What's the matter? This Buddha with a big belly is smiling all day long. The devil came and didn't see him appear. The old lady was thrown into the pigsty when she got angry. I heard that the team wanted copper, so I remembered to pick it up." Come out. Smell it, and it smells like pig urine!" Captain Guo said, pointing to a bronze Buddha statue.

"Go away, I don't smell it! But, this matter... I have to report it and see what standard I can exchange for you. By the way, what ammunition do you want this time? I have grenades and bombs here. Barrel grenades, shotgun shells..."

After some reports, Captain Guo took the people and pushed the cart back.The difference is that the car was full of copper objects when they came, but it was full of grenades and shotgun shells when they returned.

Then, from June to July, the personnel here have not stopped. The personnel from various bases brought piles of copper coins, copper blocks, copper Buddha statues and so on.
