Three hundred and fiftieth chapters boiled frogs in warm water
"Yes!" Now that the words had been spoken, Wang Ping did not hesitate and planned to speak out all his thoughts.
"To attack the thirty or forty Japanese and puppet troops and the mines in one attack, we need to dispatch an unprecedented number of troops, and we also need to dispatch a large number of artillery. It can be said that after a breakthrough battle, the overall strength of our military region will definitely be completely exposed
.”
"Are you worried that our strength will trigger a larger-scale revenge from the Japs?" Commander Nie knew at a glance that Wang Ping had something to say.
"Yes, Chief. I'm sure that as long as we capture these mines at once, the Japanese army's revenge will be unprecedented. You know, behind the Japanese army are their consortiums, and these mines are the source of wealth for these consortiums.
If we cut off all their sources at once, these consortiums will definitely encourage the Japanese army to fight us. When the time comes, the Japanese army will definitely fight us to the death and will never stop until a winner is determined!" Wang Ping's face turned pale.
He was more serious just now and answered with a heavy tone.
The chief of staff spoke again at this time: "Wang Ping, I don't agree with what you said. Even if we don't fight this attack battle, we and the Japanese will fight to the death!"
"Chief of Staff, Wang Ping's insistence on fighting to the death is not the same as your insistence on fighting to the death!" Just when Wang Ping looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, Commander Nie spoke up and came to the rescue.
"What Wang Ping means is that once we cut off the financial resources of these chaebols, they will encourage the Japanese army to launch an unprecedented encirclement and suppression campaign against us. At that time, we will definitely not give up until we are eliminated. You must know that these chaebols are Japanese
As the provider of military expenditures, the voice of the chaebol is still very important in the Japanese military."
"The task given to us from above is to concentrate on development, expand the base area as much as possible, and expand our strength. After we have enough strength, we can then engage in a decisive battle with the Japanese. Therefore, in order to prevent our newly rising strength from being destroyed by the Japanese, it is best not to do so for the time being.
Go take the initiative to provoke the Japanese!"
"Chief, in addition to the Japanese and puppet troops, we also need to be on guard against Lao Jiang. You must know that the troops in our military region are not formally organized in the hands of Lao Jiang. After a large-scale raid, the strength of our military region was exposed.
Chiang Kai-shek will definitely be shocked." Wang Ping continued his analysis!
"Given Chiang Kai-shek's attitude towards us, he will definitely not watch us grow and develop behind enemy lines and threaten him!"
By this time, Commander Nie had given up the idea of launching a large-scale raid.
I agree with the answer: "Wang Ping, your analysis is very good, I agree. However, it makes me feel uncomfortable to watch the devils plundering the mineral resources that should belong to us through these mines. And you also said, the devils mine
The field contains equipment and raw materials that we urgently need to build an arsenal. If we don’t take it, I will always be heartbroken!"
"We can boil frogs in warm water!" Wang Ping said in surprise.
"Today we will capture a mine, and in a few days we will capture another mine. At that time, those who attack the mine will have to attack the mine, and those who need reinforcements will need reinforcements. This will give the Japanese the feeling that they are only attacking the mine by the way. This will not
It will attract the attention of the Japanese army in North China and the big conglomerates behind the mine."
"In this case, we can also take the opportunity to train troops, obtain supplies, and temporarily cut off the Japanese resource supply chain."
"In addition, after taking down the mine, taking away the equipment and materials that can be brought, return the mine to the devils, let the devils find a way to resume production, and rob it again if there is a chance in the future. In this case, these mines will
Become a supply place for supplies, raw materials and equipment for our military region!"
In the end, Commander Nie decided to boil the frog in what Wang Ping called warm water and deal with the Japanese one by one.
At this time, Wang Ping suddenly thought of another purpose for coming to the military region.
"Chief, when I was in the Independent Regiment, I asked the armory to use bullets, gravel, and gunpowder to make a powerful mine that could not be detected by the Japanese mine detector. When I arrived at the arsenal, I found that the ceramic mine was very powerful.
It was very big, but it was inconvenient to transport, and then it was improved. In this battle to eliminate the reinforcements of the Japanese and puppet troops in Bald Ridge, the mines were very useful. I think it was very effective in our guerrilla and mobile warfare against the Japanese.
Therefore, I want to promote it through the military region!"
"Did you bring the landmines?" Weapons were a very important factor in restricting the development and growth of the Eighth Route Army, so as soon as he heard that the arsenal had produced new weapons, Commander Nie became excited and stared at Wang Ping closely to ask.
road.
"Yes, I have brought ten ceramic mines and ten stone mines!" Wang Ping, who did not expect Commander Nie to be so excited, responded immediately.
Commander Nie said nothing and walked directly outside the war room. As he walked, he ordered: "Let's go and take a look at these mines. By the way, we can test the specific power of the mines!"
The test site was arranged by the chief of staff on a flat ground in the back mountain, inaccessible to people, and the sound of explosions would not cause misunderstanding.
Soon, a dozen scarecrows were erected in the open space, and Wang Ping also had people bring mines.
Whether it is a ceramic mine or a stone mine, the size is twice that of an iron mine.
The mine was carefully buried among the scarecrows, and the leads were connected with ropes. After being manually triggered, a group of people hid in a bunker more than ten meters away.
"Start the experiment!" Commander Nie ordered, holding up the telescope and staring at the test site with his eyes motionless.
"Boom!" Soon, an explosion reached Commander Nie's ears. The moment the explosion sounded, a fireball mixed with a lot of thick smoke rose into the sky from among the scarecrows, directly knocking over the four or five scarecrows nearby.
Although the scarecrow further away was not directly overturned, it was blown sideways.
As soon as the smoke cleared, Commander Nie rushed out of the bunker: "Let's go and see the destructive power and the distribution of fragments!"
Soon, a result that surprised and shocked Commander Nie appeared.
"Commander, the power of the mines is not much worse than the Japs we captured. The lethality reaches nearly eight meters. If the enemy is within four meters of the explosion point, he will be killed or injured." The chief of staff rushed to Commander Nie who was waiting anxiously.
reported excitedly.
"As for the number of mine fragments, there are a lot of them. Because the outer shell is made of prefabricated ceramics, and there are a lot of ceramic blocks inside. We found thirty or forty fragments on these scarecrows alone, plus seventy or eighty fragments that didn't hit the target.
There must be some, nearly twice as many as the Japanese’s iron-shell mines!”
Wang Ping followed up and added: "Chief, the ceramic mine is still filled with black powder. If it is replaced with yellow gunpowder, the charge will only need half of the black powder, and the power will be much greater than it is now!"
Commander Nie was very satisfied with the result and continued to ask: "Where is Shi Lei? Continue to experiment with Shi Lei!"
Because Shi Lei did not have prefabricated fragments, the number of shrapnel after the explosion was much smaller. But even so, the powerful power still shocked Commander Nie.
"Commander, these two types of landmines must be promoted in military regions. With landmines, our guerrillas and local troops will be even more powerful. If they encounter Japanese raids again, just using landmines will cause them heavy losses!" the chief of staff said very much.
shouted happily.
Wang Ping said: "If these mines are used properly, it will not be a problem to kill twenty Japs at once!"
"I summed up many methods of using landmines in the independent regiment, such as serial mines, multiple mines, double-ring mines... I can write them all down and promote them in the military region!"
Commander Nie was also very excited, but did not show it immediately. He stared at Wang Ping and asked.
"Is this kind of landmine complicated to build?"
"It's not complicated. All it takes is a bullet and some gunpowder. One person can make at least one in a day. As for stones and ceramics, we have plenty of bases, so we can have as many as we want."
After the biggest problem was solved, Commander Nie finally stopped hesitating and decided directly: "Okay, you immediately write down all the production methods and usage methods, and keep all the remaining mines. Such a good weapon must not only be used in military areas
To promote it, we need to promote it throughout the Eighth Route Army.”
