Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 197 Chapter 196, the situation is getting tense

"Well, after this period of study and training, everyone's distance measurement skills have reached the requirements, and the arm stability has also reached the standard. So, it's time to give you live-fire shooting training! For this training, Minister Zhang specially allocated 1500 grenade launchers for everyone to train!"

"I just hope that after firing these 1500 grenades, everyone can graduate successfully and return to their original units! I also hope that in future battles, everyone can use the skills learned during this period to inflict the greatest damage on the Japanese devils! Okay, student No. 1, step out, target..."

What does it mean to work well with the boss? What does it mean to be close to the water and get the moon first? Minister Zhang is around, and when the training team needs training ammunition, he can solve it! Although the Eighth Route Army is poor, they have fought for two years and have captured a lot of grenade launchers and grenades. Minister Zhang has some in stock.

Boom, boom, boom... On the training ground, the sound of grenades from the grenade launcher continued to ring out, and one grenade after another was fired at the target area. Li Yuexuan also had a clear grasp of the comprehensive scores of each student.

After a day of live-fire training, Li Yuexuan approved 50 students to graduate and let them return to their original units. Yes, the results of these 50 students were excellent, and all 5 grenades hit the target area, and even hit near the center of the target. With such results, further training would be a waste of ammunition. Li Yuexuan decisively let them return to their own units and use the remaining grenades to blow up the Japanese!

As for the remaining 100 students, their results were not satisfactory, so Li Yuexuan also strengthened their training according to their shortcomings. Those with unstable arms were asked to do push-ups; those with inaccurate distance measurement were asked to strengthen their learning and training. This lasted for another week, and finally, after another live-fire training with 5 grenades, the remaining students all graduated successfully.

Li Yuexuan finally had time to manage his experimental field! It was already June, the male ears of corn had already emerged, and the female ears were also incubating. Li Yuexuan decisively led the soldiers of the supplementary class into the experimental field and instructed them to shade each corn plant, collect pollen, and perform artificial pollination.

The brigade commander and his men saw and remembered Li Yuexuan's work. When the students were shooting live ammunition, the two commanders were also present in person and saw in person how the soldiers they sent went from ordinary soldiers to technical soldiers who could easily hit the grenade launcher at the predetermined position.

They didn't say it, but they were very happy in their hearts! With these 150 students in various units, each equipped with a grenade launcher, how much would the combat effectiveness of these units be improved? At least, they don't have to worry about their own machine guns being blown up by the devil's grenade launchers, but they have no way to fight back! Even, they can take the initiative to knock out the devil's machine gun team.

While Li Yuexuan was tinkering with the corn seeds, the two commanders were thinking about the warehouses full of corn kernels, corn pancakes, and corn steamed buns... Only when the soldiers are full can they have the strength to kill the devils! They know this truth better than anyone else!

"Brigade Commander Chen, this comrade under your command is no ordinary person! Judging from his current performance, one person is worth an entire battalion!" Minister Zhang praised sincerely.

"A battalion? Too small! The directional explosion he contributed alone is equivalent to that of a battalion! This time, I just hope that the Japanese will come later, later. If we are given one more month, we can have 300 more guns and tens of thousands more grenades. What a great combat power this will be?" said the brigade commander.

"It's because the Japs won't give us time! Previous intelligence shows that the Japs have been moving frequently recently. I'm afraid that early July is the time for them to go out!" Minister Zhang sighed and continued, "Fortunately, our wheat has been harvested, and the spring corn will be harvested soon! As for the sweet potatoes, we have to wait in the fields for a while. It depends on when we can repel the Japs' attack!" "Don't worry, our brigade has taken advantage of the situation this time and got 7 grenades, 5 Type 300 rifles, and 5 rounds of reloaded ammunition. We have never been so rich before! What's more, my artillery battalion has also been trained, and it can give the Japanese devils a hard time at a critical moment!" The brigade commander maintained his usual optimistic attitude towards the upcoming battle.

Of course, we despise the enemy strategically, but we take him seriously tactically! During this period, the Baijin Line had been thoroughly seen by the scouts of the Eighth Route Army, and the villages along the way had also been mobilized. Everything was waiting for the arrival of the devils to strike them according to local conditions.

The Japanese army was actively deploying, and the Eighth Route Army was actively responding. Although the two sides had no contact for the time being, the tension was gradually growing. At the arsenal, tunnels were being dug every day, all the walls that needed to be repaired in the village had been repaired, and the minefields outside the village were all arranged, ready to be deployed at any time when the Japanese came.

The necessary traps had been dug in the tunnels, evacuation drills had been conducted many times, and even the hiding places deep in the mountains were well known to the people, so they knew where to retreat and hide when the time came.

Not only in Liangjia Village, but also in Weijia Village and Tianjiazhai, some tunnels have been dug, and the garrisoned soldiers also know the tactics of tunnel warfare.

At the arsenal, the workers worked day and night, producing 3000 grenades a day, 1500 rounds a day when the materials were sufficient, and 20 rifles a day. In addition to work, the workers also conducted evacuation drills to ensure rapid evacuation.

Of course, in addition to grenades, bullets and rifles, the four fitters were also busy. Four rifling cutting machines were built and are now in production; Li Yuexuan's semi-automatic rifles were also hand-made by the masters, 4 in total, each with four 4-round magazines.

As for the Dinglong grenade launcher, 10 grenade launchers have been produced and tested, ballistic tests have been completed, and the range table corresponding to the scale on the side has also been made. It can conduct live-fire ballistic tests, and the teardrop-shaped grenade launcher grenades have naturally been made! The fitters are not given for nothing, and various molds are made together with the grenades. It is not a problem to produce 100 grenades a day.

Why was it so fast this time, much faster than making the Type 81 rifle? One reason is that everyone is skilled, and the other is that there is a production base for the Type 81 rifle. At least, when the new semi-automatic machine needs wood, you can just take a coffin board and split it. When the bolt is needed, the material has been prepared long ago, and it can be taken from the rough bolt of the Type 81 rifle.

This is the difference between going from 0 to 1 and from 1 to many.
