Chapter 40 Training requires brains
"No one is allowed to leave at night. I will take the girls to buy vegetables and cut meat right away. You brothers will have a good drink!" Wang Lan also received her twenty yuan and greeted her warmly, pulling her little one along.
Rong, Li Hongxia, and Wei Xiaofang, the three sniper team members, went out.
"Brother Zheng, let's chat about our future work!" Chen Long took out the "Hard Gate" and smoked it with Zheng Siqiao. He also asked two young men, Ma Liang and Chi Xiaolin, to sit down and listen. "We are
On the other side of the river, in the mountainous area. You may also know that the Japanese invaders once harmed our county..."
True to form, Chen Long told them his situation, and also revealed to them that his goal was to set up an arsenal, at least to the point where it could repair firearms, reload bullets, make grenades, and explosive packs. Of course, the military industry
Even if there is spare capacity for civilian products, we should still produce civilian products to earn some money.
"You don't have to worry about safety. As long as our relatives at home are still breathing, we will never put you in danger." Chen Long even took out his major certificate as a guarantee, "If you are really worried, go and take a look first.
Look, if it doesn’t work, just ask my people to teach you. Once you’ve learned it, you can stay and stay as you please. Brother Zheng, do you think it’s a success?”
"I believe you will consider safety for us. However, if you plan to build an arsenal from scratch, the investment will be quite large." Zheng Siqiao deserves to be from a big factory. After a little calculation, he listed several pieces of paper.
equipment and tools, and said with a worried look: "Even the simplest gun repair shop requires an investment of tens of thousands of yuan. There are also power problems and raw material problems, which all cost money!"
"Take your time, my first request is to repair the firearm and reload the bullets. I will figure out a solution for the money issue." Chen Long could not put too much pressure on them, but instead comforted Zheng Siqiao, who looked worried.
Come.
We all had a great time drinking together in the evening. Compared to her husband's worries, Wang Lan was an optimist. She lay on the wine table, wrote and drew, calculated accounts, and finally decided on the first batch of purchases.
The tools and equipment are worth more than 4,000 yuan.
The next day, Chen Xiaofu, Wei Chunsheng and others followed Zheng Siqiao and others to buy supplies. This flow of money suddenly turned Chen Long into a poor man. Fortunately, there was still some savings at home, otherwise Dong Huai would have to pay
Large divisions will become problematic.
Zheng Siqiao and the other three contacted several former factory colleagues, all of whom were experienced workers, and agreed to go to Heyuan to work together. Chen Long also paid two months' salary in advance. Fortunately, these fixed wages were not fixed.
It’s considered high, only less than ten yuan per month.
Zheng Siqiao was appointed by Chen Long as the person in charge of the arsenal, responsible for leading the team to set up the factory.
Three days later, all the supplies were purchased and the food was ready. Chen Long decided to set off early in the morning.
Zheng Siqiao's whole family followed him on the road. After all, Chen Long said there were teachers from Beiping Normal University teaching there, so at least the problem of the two children going to school was solved.
Mi Tong personally led people out of Mengjin Pass before turning back. He saw that Chen Long and the others could be exempted from inspection by taking out their IDs along the way. The defenders along the way also saluted and said farewell. He couldn't help but take a high look at Chen Long's ability and firmly agreed with him.
His desire to continue cooperation.
**********************
Returning to Chenjiagang, Chen Long asked Wei Chunsheng and Xie Daliang to escort the military rations to Lishan Town. Of course, the old Dong's benefits should not be forgotten. 3,500 yuan was cashed in the ocean, and Chen Long gave him cash in gold bars.
past.
Naturally, Zheng Siqiao and his gang cannot be exposed to the outside world. So Chen Long is busy renovating Tiger Cave and building several connected huge grottoes in the heart of the mountain as future arsenals. Right now, is he busy?
There were too many facts, so Zheng Siqiao led people to lay out the plans, draw up construction plans, and then organized people to carry out the work.
"Captain, we are back." Wei Chunsheng brought back a reply from Director Dong: He was very satisfied with the purchase of military rations. He made a lot of money, and the quality of the millet was quite high. Killing two birds with one stone made the old director happy.
Chen Long was particularly relieved.
"You want to purchase another 10,000 straw bags? How much profit can you make from this?" Chen Long was a little confused.
"Director Dong said that they purchased this for the war zone. It was used for constructing simple fortifications in the mountains. They needed it urgently, so they got 85 copper coins per piece. He said this is very profitable, and he asked you to get some snacks. Try your best.
Run south." Wei Chunsheng repeated the story exactly as he put it, and placed the allocated purchase funds of more than 7,000 yuan on the table.
"Daliang, you and Xiaofu will take a team to Luoyang and ask Mi Tong to go purchase in northern Anhui. You will pay him at the price of 35 copper plates each." This straw bag must go to a place where rice is grown.
Only in this area can we purchase large quantities at low prices. I estimated in my mind that this kind of farm by-product will never be sold for a high price. Even if it costs 35 bucks per bird, Chen Long is sure that Mi Tong can make a lot of money.
.
Sure enough, within ten days, 10,000 woven straw bags were shipped to the Independence Brigade. As expected, the purchase price of the Mi family that Wei Chunsheng had privately inquired about was only 20 copper plates. After taking into account the freight, Mi Tong made another profit from this transaction.
It covers no less than a thousand oceans.
"If you want the horses to run, you have to feed them! There is endless money to be made in the world. Don't be jealous of other people's money. If we go and collect it from the farmers ourselves, I'm afraid we won't be able to collect it all even if we give it ten days." Chen
Long believes that professional things must be done by professional people. With the help of the Mi family, wouldn't it be better to make money easily and happily by yourself?
"Why do you think the national army in Zhongtiao Mountain wants to buy so many straw bags? Isn't it because they are going to fight again?" Hu Dakang asked quietly as Chen Long finished his work and divided the spoils with Dong Huaida.
Come.
"What else can straw bags be used for? They can only be used to hold soil and sand to build fortifications. A few simple big bags and one base are quite good defenses. Not to mention the 38-meter-large cover, even heavy machine guns can hit it.
It's not wearable." Chen Long thought about it. In war movies of later generations, they still like to use sandbags to build fortifications. After all, soil and sand are fine particles. Even if they encounter shelling, they will not explode threatening rocks.
Here come the stones.
"Speaking of war, isn't the Japanese army busy fighting the Battle of Xuzhou now? What, the Japanese have made new moves?" Chen Long was thinking that now should be the time when the Battle of Lanfeng was in full swing, and the Japanese army was busy trying to encircle the Xuzhou area.
The main force of the national army, the 14th Division that rushed into Doihara, is probably in a state of ecstasy when it is besieged by the national army at this moment! Do you still have time to worry about Nakajo Mountain?!
"Instructor Tianqu came over yesterday. He said that the Japanese North China Front launched a nine-way siege in southeastern Shanxi. The 129th Division and the 115th Division of our Eighth Route Army, together with the National Army's 17th Army, 3rd Army, 84th Division, and 169th Division,
, the 4th Cavalry Division and other troops jointly attacked, basically smashed the nine-way siege of the Japanese army, killed and injured more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers, and recaptured Liaoxian, Tunliu, Qinyuan, and Shexian.
We have achieved great victory in more than a dozen counties and cities." Zhou Yunxin spread out his notebook and made a report, "Although the Japanese have retreated, they have only spread around the base area, and sporadic fighting continues everywhere. Divisional Military Commission
We are required to be ready for battle and resolutely attack the escaping Japanese, but we must not be careless and suffer losses..." As the girl said this, she looked at Chen Long from time to time.
"Look at what I'm doing. Did Lao Qu say something bad about me?" Chen Long's heart skipped a beat. The instructor's expression was wrong!
"I'm not saying bad things about you, but I'm criticizing you seriously!" Hu Dakang looked a little gloating: I asked you to go to a big city without taking me with you!
"Go, go, I haven't found you yet!" Chen Long's face was full of irritation, "Tell me, how good are those grenades and mortars now? There was a guy who was stunned the day before yesterday.
The grenade went straight to the ground and hit the sky. It flew quite high, but did he want to blow himself up?!" Not to mention that he was still angry. As soon as Chen Long said this, he thought of the danger that day. If Xie Dazhu hadn't reacted quickly,
If you kick that new soldier away, something big will happen.
"Uh--, the Japs' little hand cannon is really weird. Let alone new recruits, ask them which one of them can shoot accurately? This thing is really not practiced by humans!" Hu Dakang said with a look on his face.
Sorry, the so-called small hand cannon's grenade is really convenient to use. One shooter and one ammunition hand can handle it all, but it is difficult to shoot accurately. I don't know how the little devil is trained.
"Brother Comrade, you can't use your brain?! Don't always emphasize objective reasons." Chen Long started to attack him directly.
"Then what can you think of? You can only practice slowly. Once you are familiar with it, you will be able to hit it accurately." Hu Dakang still didn't believe it. Can Chen Long have a better training method? He took a grenade and put it on Chen Long.
In front of Long, Hu Dakang asked angrily.
"Let's go find Carpenter Wang." Chen Long couldn't help but said, carrying the grenade and grabbing Hu Dakang, and left.
***********************
"Are you talking about this kind of wooden bracket? This is easy to make." Wang Qing, the carpenter master, understood what Chen Long meant as soon as he heard what he said. "Ask the blacksmith master to make a hoop on the top to stabilize the hand cannon, and fix it on two
On the leg bracket, the distance can be changed depending on the length of the leg. Add a rivet and make two movable calves that can be retracted and retracted at any time." Otherwise, the people are the great inventions and creations.
As for Wang Qing, he immediately made further progress based on Chen Long's ideas: after his improvement, at least the grenade can hit two or three different landing points. 100 meters, 200 meters, 300 meters, controlling the wooden
The length of the legs must be the distance.
"Look, Captain Hu, the carpenter has understood it and further optimized it. Do you understand?" Chen Long asked Hu Dakang, who was stunned.
"Hey, it's amazing! Dalong, after you do this, you don't need to train at all. Even a new recruit can start immediately!" Hu Dakang was not angry, he was directly conquered by Chen Long's whimsical ideas.
"So, you guys have to use your brains!" Chen Long liked to see this veteran guy's convinced look.
"The distance can be controlled, but the direction is still unclear!" Hu Dakang scratched his head and asked another question.
"Master Wang, do you think it is possible to add a fixed sight to the muzzle? It should be about three centimeters away from the muzzle." Chen Long asked.
"No problem, just add a hoop. Blacksmith Master Liu will do it in minutes." Wang Qing said with certainty.
"It's easier if you have the accurate sight, the eyes, the accurate aim, the Japanese machine gun..." Chen Long explained.
"Three points and one line!" Hu Dakang's eyes lit up. Anyone who has ever shot a gun will understand, "Captain, what's wrong with your head! You're so smart!"
"You still need to test this to see where the specific position of the crosshair is. Try one centimeter, three centimeters, and five centimeters." Chen Long believes in science: no matter how skilled the kid is, it all depends on experience.
It is estimated that the members of the hometown protection team rely on scientific measurement, which is not as good as your visual estimation?! Damn it!
"Win! Leave this to me!" Hu Dakang was very excited. The hand cannon training that had been bothering him for many days was suddenly solved.
"Chen Xiaofu, please record it. Master Wang has made great achievements in improving weapons, and the team will reward him with ten yuan!" Chen Long made the decision immediately.
"Well... no need!" Carpenter Wang Qing grinned, "It's a bit too much! Besides, the big idea is still yours, hey, how about I share half of it with you?"
"That's what you deserve. Keep it with peace of mind. Help us come up with more ideas and think about ways to improve weapons!" Chen Long stopped him with a smile. "If you really don't like it, treat me to a nice drink tonight."
Hit it right!”
"That's necessary!" Wang Qing was overjoyed and patted Chen Long on the shoulder: "Then it's settled, it's tonight, and you all will come too!"
As the saying goes, a thousand dollars buys horse bones, Chen Long wants to inspire the wisdom of the masses!
"Captain, let's see if there are any other good ways to use mortars. We... don't have a dedicated artillery force." This time, Hu Dakang followed suit and pestered Chen Long as if he was asking for advice humbly.
"Brother Comrade, that mortar has everything we need. If we can't use it, then we can go find the teacher." Chen Long thought for a moment, "You should ask Zheng Siqiao first. He should be able to make it."
If it doesn't work, go to Director Dong and ask him to help hire two national army artillerymen to teach you!"
"Well...it's better for you to come forward, you're so proud!" Hu Dakang sneered and kicked the ball back.
"You, you, now it is a national war of resistance, a united front -" Chen Long imitated Qu Jinyun's tone.
"Captain Chen, Instructor Qu criticized you for not doing your job properly!" Zhou Yunxin didn't pick up any of the pots. She heard Chen Long imitating Qu Jinyun's tone and started to mention it again.
"He's talking nonsense. I'm just working hard and working hard for the development of the team, and then die... He knows nothing about old songs!" Chen Long was full of anger.
"Why does it sound so bad to me? Is this boy Chen Long spouting shit?" Qu Jinyun came in with a Jiangxi accent from outside the door.
