The weather was perfect in the morning, the sun was shining brightly.
Kong Jie doesn’t know what the big and small devils in Taiyuan City are planning.
At this moment, Kong Jie is busy with Dong San and others in the repair shop. Of course, Captain Kong is working on his own little invention.
"It's done, Bullet Thunder!"
Kong Jie held a device made of a small wooden board, shouted, and then, ignoring the astonishment of the third class, he strode out of the repair shop.
"Old Zhao, Old Zhao, come out and see what I did?"
Kong Jie's loud voice called political commissar Zhao Gang out of the regimental headquarters room, along with deputy regimental leader Li Yunlong.
Just now, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were studying how to strengthen the defenses of each village to deal with the large-scale raids that the Japs might launch at any time.
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "Old Kong, I heard that you went to the repair shop in the morning. Why did you stay for so long before you came back?"
Kong Jie raised the wooden device in his hand and said: "I went to the repair shop to make a gadget. It took a while, so I came back a little late."
Li Yunlong, who was standing next to Zhao Gang, complained with a dark face: "Old Kong, I asked you, why is your armory not doing its job properly all day long?
Take the time to repair it, I've been there several times, but the equipment I have in the Fourth Battalion hasn't been repaired yet!"
Kong Jile said: "Old Li, please be more considerate and considerate of me. It's just an underdeveloped armory. There are so many damaged firearms in the regiment, and the manpower of the armory is limited. You can't let the armory
Our comrades work for us 24 hours a day without rest, day and night, right?
Don’t worry, the equipment of the Fourth Battalion will be repaired soon!”
Li Yunlong nodded, but felt that something was not quite right, and was about to ask a few more questions.
Kong Jie raised the wooden device in his hand again and said: "Old Li, let me show you a novelty. As for the manufacturing technology of this device, I will give it to you. Your new second regiment can also equip it later." "What is it?" Li Yunlong became curious as expected, and Zhao Gang also came over.
Kong Jie placed the wooden board device on the stone table, and then introduced: "The name is very simple and vivid, bullet mine, the production process is very simple, and it saves materials, wooden board, iron nails, bamboo tube, and then a rifle bullet, what caliber is it?"
Ducheng.
After it's done, it will probably look like what you see now.
When making this bullet-activated mine, first find a wooden board of moderate width and length, and then nail it through the wooden board with an iron nail. The tip of the iron nail exposes about three millimeters of the wooden board, and the bullet is installed on it.
Bamboo tube, the warhead installed in the bamboo tube protrudes upward about five millimeters from the bamboo tube, and then is buried shallowly in the soil.
When the enemy steps on it, pressure is exerted, and the bullet in the bamboo tube will be compressed. The bottom of the bullet is the primer. A sudden collision with a sharp hard object will ignite the propellant inside the bullet, increase the internal pressure, and give the projectile a higher power.
The initial velocity ultimately excites the bullet.
Then, the bullet will fly out from the soil. Even if the bullet is not powerful enough to directly kill the Japanese who stepped on the thunder, it can still shoot through the soles of the Japanese's feet and incapacitate the little Japanese.
If a little devil is unlucky enough, the bullet that penetrated the sole of his foot might also penetrate his throat."
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were naturally familiar with the firing principle of bullets. After Kong Jie introduced it, their eyes lit up and they realized that these devices were simple and feasible.
And it is very practical. Injuring a Japs on the battlefield is even more effective than killing a little Japs.
The enemy is dead when he dies, and it does not affect the living enemy to continue fighting.
If a kid is injured, one or two Japs must be arranged to take care of the wounded.
You can't let your comrades wait for death right?
As a result, the Japanese military's strength will be greatly reduced.
Zhao Gang sighed with emotion: "If this device is really feasible, Lao Kong, your bullet mine is so powerful. A bullet plus these simple design materials can be used to make a bullet mine that can kill the Japanese. It's really
It’s convenience.”
Kong Jie said: "It must be feasible, and it is very simple to make. Not to mention us, the militia comrades, one person can make dozens of these bullet mines in one morning."
"In the past few days, I have been thinking about how to strengthen the defense of the village. Once the devil launches a large-scale raid, our biggest headache will be the village, and the safety of the people will not be guaranteed."
"The Japs will definitely enter the village. The village is dead and we can't move away. So since we know that the Japs will definitely enter the village, why not build the village into a tomb with one step at a time, specifically for burying the little Japs?" "Whenever one more Japs or puppet soldiers enters the village, our counter-mopping pressure will be reduced, which is a good thing for us."
"Just relying on conventional landmines will definitely not work. One is that the number is not enough, and the other is that the mines laid can be easily eliminated by the Japanese engineers."
"So I thought of this kind of bullet mine. As long as it is used properly, it will definitely make the little devils unable to guard against it."
……
Xinzhuang.
Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Zhao Gang just did what they said, and then rushed to Xinzhuang with some cadres and bullets.
After the expansion of Xinzhuang's militia squad, it has now become a militia brigade. It has three militia squads under its jurisdiction, and the total strength of the entire force is almost a company.
The current militia captain is Zhao San, the former militia captain. He is a young man and very motivated. After meeting Kong Jie, Zhao San's face was full of excitement, "Captain Kong, why are you here?"
Kong Jie smiled and asked: "Everyone has been training hard during this period. I'm here to take a look at the situation. Is this a good reason?"
"Sufficient, too sufficient."
"What are you training for during this period?" Kong Jie asked.
Zhao San replied: "Report to Commander Kong..."
"You brat, call me the head of the regiment. Let me tell you that your militia brigade was trained by me specially with cadres. Even your militia training manual was worked out by me and the political commissar. The guns and ammunition were also developed along with the independence movement.
It was done behind the scenes of the group. Why, do you still want to join another group in the future? Let me tell you, you have already been labeled as an independent group by me."
"Hey, leader!"
Zhao Sanduo was clever and quickly changed his mind. Being able to join the independent regiment was the most glorious thing for the entire militia brigade.
"Reporting to the leader, Platoon Leader Zhang and others are training us on how to lay landmines during this period!"
Kong Jie nodded, looked at the backbone of the militiamen who came with Zhao San, and asked: "Do you know why I want everyone to focus on training how to lay landmines during this period?"
Zhao Sandao: "Reporting to the head of the regiment, we know that after our Eighth Route Army launched a large-scale counterattack against the Japs, it will not be long before the Japs will launch a large-scale raid on our base area, so we must learn how to lay mines, protect the villages, and deal with them.
Little devil."
"Correct answer!" Kong Jie said loudly: "Comrades, do you think that if the Japanese come to carry out a large-scale sweep, only our main force will be the battlefield?"
"Wrong, not only the main force, every village and every inch of land in our Eighth Route Army guerrilla area is a battlefield. For example, Xinzhuang in front of you, this is the battlefield of your militia brigade!"
"So I will strengthen your training in laying landmines and expand the size of your militia. In addition, I will ask you to strictly follow the militia military training manual and conduct military training without stopping every day."
"For what? Because you can win this battle!"
"The little devils came to the village to kill people. They thought they were facing unarmed people who had no resistance."
"But they are wrong, very wrong. As long as our militiamen are here, this is a battlefield, and this can also become a cemetery where the corpses of Japanese soldiers are piled up."
"I want every comrade in our militia brigade to pick up the weapons, guns, bayonets, artillery, and landmines in their hands, and arm the entire village to every inch of the land."
"We must make sure that if the little devils can enter this village, they will never leave this village again!"
"What stands behind us is our home, our fellow villagers, our children, and our relatives."
"Even for them, we should muster up the courage to fight the little devils to the end!"
"I just want to ask everyone, can you do it?"
"Neng Neng——"
The backbone of the militia echoed in unison.
After the voice gradually stopped, Kong Jie's solemn face suddenly laughed, "Okay, don't be too nervous. The Japs are not as scary as you think. Not long ago, many people from your militia brigade participated in the attack, right?"
”
Zhao Sandao: "Hey, Commander, we militiamen, all of us who participated in the attack, have more or less stained the blood of the little devils on our hands. Although some of them were stabbed on the bodies of the dead little devils.
It took me a while, but I finally developed my courage."
After Zhao San finished speaking, many soldiers among the militiamen laughed sheepishly. It seemed that they were among those comrades who stabbed the dead little devils to practice courage.
Kong Jie said: "There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Anyone who dares to cut a dead Japanese with a knife is also a man!"
"If you want to kill the Japanese, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Zhao Sandao: "That's right, the Japanese will enter the village in a few days. Comrades, I will take you to kill them!"
Everyone laughed, and Kong Jie took out the bullet mine he had made in the morning, and then introduced it to the militia comrades.
"Does everyone understand?" Kong Jie asked.
The backbone of the militia nodded.
Zhao San admired him and said: "Captain, I really have you. This bullet mine is absolutely effective. One bullet can injure or even kill a Japanese soldier. This is a great deal."
"I will take you to make hundreds of them later, and then I will bury them all in the village. If you make a mistake, you might end up reporting to the Lord of Hell."
What Zhao San said was so humorous that everyone couldn't help but laugh together.
