The young man's name is Guo Lianxi. He is a senior blacksmith from the hometown of blacksmiths. He once worked as a forger in the Ordnance Industry Jinan Factory and has superb skills.

That's right, this is one of the blacksmith talents that our organization has worked so hard to recruit. He was accompanied by several brothers from the family. As for why they didn't enter the Jiuzhai Arsenal? Well, Jiuzhai needs talents.

, the arsenal below also needs it...

Seeing Guo Lianxi frowning in the audience, the secretary in charge of the arsenal walked over and asked kindly: "Master Guo, isn't the show good?"

"Oh, ahem, Secretary Liu, no, it's very beautiful and the singing is nice, but... I feel a little homesick!" Guo Lianxi said honestly.

"It's normal to miss home. As the saying goes, it's hard to leave your homeland! Especially now, the Japanese have occupied Jinan Prefecture and Taishan Prefecture. Your side is also in the Japanese-occupied area, right? I know you are worried about your home...

...But don’t worry, the organization will pass on your salary to your family,” Secretary Liu said.

"Ahem, thank you, secretary! In fact, we blacksmiths are away from home all year round. We go out in the first month and return home in the twelfth month. If we are close, we can go home and work for a few days after autumn and wheat. If we are far away, we can only leave everything to us.

We are home. When I left, my wife had a baby in her belly. Counting the days, the eldest son should be born!" Guo Lianxi said with worry, expectation, and joy.

"Haha, congratulations to you, you have a heir! Your blacksmith skills will also have successors in the future!" Secretary Liu said.

"Yes, we have a baby... I still have my parents at home, as well as the youngest and second brother at home. They will take good care of them!" Guo Lianxi said.

"Two of the four brothers in your family joined the revolution. This is a contribution to our nation! You are now also a member of our arsenal. You see, every time we make a gun and every bullet we make,

In the future, they will all hit the enemy on the battlefield!"

"As long as we persist in production, persist in fighting, and use the struggle and blood of countless people, one day the Japanese will be defeated! And at that time, we military workers will have a share of glory in us!" Secretary Liu said.

"I understand this truth! I used to shoot fast guns at the Jinan Arsenal, and the fast guns I fired were aimed at us Chinese! Now, we are shooting at Japanese devils. How glorious!" Guo Lianxi said with a proud look on his face.

"Yes, Master Guo, it's glorious! You are now the blacksmith with the best forging skills in our arsenal. The bolts you make are always of the best quality, and the comrades in the assembly workshop don't need to adjust them," Secretary Liu

said.

"Ahem, are you a craftsman? Since you have accepted the job, you must do the job well. This is the rule! Unless you don't accept the job, then it's a no-go! But Secretary Liu, let's get over it quickly.

Do you know that those shotguns and hunting rifles can shoot down Japanese soldiers? Aren't they for hunting rabbits?" Guo Lianxi asked.

"Haha, that's not necessarily the case. Weapons will always be lethal when used properly! So why don't we just treat the Japanese as rabbits and beat them up? Oh, by the way, I have something to ask you, that big gun-raiser

Can you fight? We can use that too!" Secretary Liu asked.

"That? Isn't that an old-fashioned cannon? But in this way, I can really shoot that thing, but the barrel is too thick and difficult to shoot. Everything else is easy to handle! Also, that big guy's bullets are not

It’s easy to use! It doesn’t have a magazine like Quick Grab, it’s too heavy!” Guo Lianxi said.

"As long as you can shoot it, you don't have to worry about the barrel. If you can shoot the bolt, just hit the chamber part! We can handle all the springs and bullets! Oh, by the way, you can draw the drawings.

Do you understand? We have shotguns here for Lao Liang. If you can shoot them, it will be of great help!" Secretary Liu has long wanted to develop the shotgun project for Laogou Arsenal, and he has also approached Guo Lianxi.

There is such a purpose.

"The drawing... I can't understand it, but if you can bring me a shotgun, I can just follow it!" Guo Lianxi said.

"Okay, there are shotguns! If you can really shoot this, haha, our guerrilla captains near Wudong District should jump for joy!" Secretary Liu was also very happy after knowing the answer.

What do you think Secretary Liu is going to do with the barrel of the shotgun? Not far to the east is the Ping-Han Railway. The rails are scraped, hammered, and then drilled by the arsenal's drill press. Well, this belongs to the fourth category.

The arsenal here still has some steam-powered equipment.

More than twenty days later, in the forging workshop of Laogou Arsenal, Guo Lianxi, his eldest brother, and several workers carefully polished some gun bolts with hand files. After polishing them clean, they polished them one last time with sandpaper.

.

After a final inspection, Guo Lianxi took action himself, placed the bolt on a shotgun, and completed the final assembly: "Technician Xiao, can you see if this is ready?" Guo Lianxi said to a similarly young worker.

asked.

"Let me see..." The technician surnamed Xiao was quickly transferred from Jiuzhaigou. He used to modify shotguns with Hu Changyi.

"It's done! This is what it looks like! Secretary Liu, it's done! Master Guo's craftsmanship is incredible! We used to renovate old guns, but now we just produce new guns... Oh no, it's a new cannon!" Technician Xiao was delighted.

He looked at the shotgun in front of him and said.

"Haha, okay, I'll go talk to Captain Jin, Captain Lu and others. They are all waiting. They will be happy to hear the news!" Secretary Liu said.

"Haha, in the future, we will have heavy weapons here! It would be great if we could build a heavy machine gun sometime!" Technician Xiao said.

"Forget about heavy machine guns! Our current positioning is to make high-quality grenade launchers and artillery shells, hand grenades, and simple horse rifles and shotguns! What, from what you say, do you plan to keep them?

Secretary Liu asked.

"Stay...Although the conditions here are not as good as those at the breeding farm, they need me more here! And...if the production of shotguns can be moved here, the breeding farm can also develop better weapons!"

Technician Xiao said.

"Well, I have the consciousness! As expected, Minister Zhang carefully selected and sent it to me!" Secretary Liu said happily.

Laogou Arsenal is one of the new branches under the headquarters. The situation here is actually a microcosm of the various ordnance units of the Eighth Route Army. With the spread of Jiuzhai technology, some simple weapons can finally be produced in the surrounding area.
