"Minister Mao, it's awesome!"

Kang Ting laughed excitedly: "When the captain said this thing, I thought this thing was just, but I didn't expect you to really make it......"

"Yes, yes!"

Shi Yuan and the others echoed: "Not only did it come out, but it was so powerful, even if it couldn't kill people, it could scare people to death......"

Looking at a group of people happily surrounding the hair diamond, as if embracing peerless heroes, Zhang Ran, who had been holding his chin for a long time and preparing to greet everyone to bow and worship, said in his heart, "Special mother, this flying thunder cannon is obviously invented by me, can you guys figure out the key points?

Fortunately, there are still people who remember that Zhang Ran is the first hero.

"If the captain hadn't come up with this method, relying on our ammunition department alone, it would have been unthinkable that we would be able to make a flying thunder cannon out of gasoline barrels......"

Mao Drill said: "So in this matter, our ammunition department has only done some small work, and our captain is the first to take the lead......

Zhang Ran hurriedly changed his light and breezy appearance and waved his hand: "As long as I can kill more devils, protect the people, and contribute to the anti-Japanese cause of our country and nation, it doesn't matter to me what credit is not credited......"

Everyone hehehe, Zhile, Kang Ting was even more pouted, and said in his heart that who dragged it just now was like 2580,000, and he didn't count it in his heart? Everybody's too lazy to bother with you, huh!

After being happy, Mao Diamond told everyone some points about the use of this flying thunder cannon, such as it must not be used in the upwind outlet when the wind is blowing, if you want to increase the lethality, you can increase the charge appropriately, but the charge increases, the range will be shortened accordingly, and so on......

"You don't have to tell us so much about this!"

Zhang Ran waved his hand and said to Kang Ting and the others: "Allocate manpower and set up a special flying thunder artillery team, this team doesn't have to do anything, every day I will practice flying thunder artillery, explore and accumulate experience, and strive to fight far and accurately after I go to the battlefield in the future!" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Ran thought about it and added, the manpower of the flying thunder cannon team, you might as well recruit more, and try to let more people master the whole set of processes from the production and use of the flying thunder cannon!

The reason for this arrangement is that Zhang Ran wants these soldiers to send out these soldiers after mastering the full set of skills of the Flying Thunder Cannon, so that they can use the technology of the Flying Thunder Cannon in Yangquan, Lingjiang, and even the main force of the Eighth Route Army, not just use it within the detachment!

Good things, everyone wants to be exclusive.

But also score what kind of good stuff, but also score time and place!

In this special period of the All-People's War of Resistance, a good thing like a flying thunder cannon should be used on the entire anti-Japanese front!

As long as one more devil can be killed, the common people can suffer less crimes, and these little devils can pay more for their ambitions......

However, while deciding to spread the technology of the Flying Thunder Cannon, Zhang Ran also set up confidentiality measures to delay the time for the little devil to learn the source of the Flying Thunder Cannon as much as possible!

Otherwise, if the little devil knows that our army has mastered the technology of using gasoline barrels to make flying thunder cannons, I am afraid that this inconspicuous gasoline barrel will be confiscated by the little devils in an instant, and they will not be able to find it when they want to.

Moreover, only if the little devil gets the specific information of the flying thunder cannon later, can he pit them a few more times when the little devil is defenseless!

Although the Flying Thunder Cannon is easy to use, if the little devil is on guard, the effect of using it will be greatly reduced, that's for sure!

One by one, everyone responded.

Zhang Ran understands these truths, and of course it is impossible for them not to understand them.

"Captain, this flying thunder cannon is easy to use, but it also needs a lot of explosives!"

Mao Zuan said in a low voice: "A bag of explosives will have to use up more than a dozen catties of black powder, if we don't think of a way, it won't be long before we estimate that our high explosives will not be made, and this black powder will have to be useless......"

"Don't worry, I know this!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "I have already asked people to inform Captain Tu Sun of the method of boiling cave nitrate and soil nitrate to Captain Sun of Yangquan Lingjiang, starting next month, if they still want to use our grenades and mines, then not only do they have to bring us those broken copper and iron to come over, but also have to bring the boiled white nitrate!" ”

"As soon as our Dongcang Road is completed, the two counties in our base area will also carry out the campaign of boiling nitrate for chemical fertilizer, which can not only solve the problem of the source of nitrate for our black powder production, but also allow the people to change more chemical fertilizer to help increase grain production, killing two birds with one stone......

"Then I'm relieved!"

Hearing that people from four or five counties would help boil nitrate, Mao Zuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and he no longer had to worry about running out of raw materials to make black powder at that time.

Although the problem of raw materials for black powder has been solved, the more important problem has not been solved.

This problem is the long-standing problem in the base area - bullets!

There has been no war in the base area for two months, and it seems that not many bullets are needed.

But don't forget, now in the base areas of the two counties, there are more than 1,000 soldiers, and each person trains with one live ammunition a day, which has to consume more than 1,000 bullets!

And with such a number of live-fire training, how high a hit rate the team can achieve on the battlefield is simply nonsense!

Except for those who are really talented fighters, the marksmanship of the vast majority of fighters is stacked with bullets!

The lack of sufficient ammunition has already restricted the combat quality of the detachment more than once!

In addition to the soldiers of the detachment and detachment, there are also a large number of militia organizations in the two counties, as well as the militia organization secretly developed by Li Dakou in Yuanguang County, although these militiamen are equipped with very few guns and they are all old, they also need ammunition to train marksmanship and familiarize themselves with the performance of guns!

After all, the weapons issued by these militiamen are not for them to use as burning sticks!

Not only are they responsible for patrolling and assisting in the defense of the base areas, but when necessary, they also have to cooperate with the soldiers of the detachment to carry out combat missions, so it is reasonable that these militiamen must not refuse to give them bullets!

In addition to the interior of the base area, Tu Jinjun Sun Hongzhong's guerrillas also needed bullets.

These guys don't want bullets now, they only need grenades and mines, but it's not that they don't lack bullets, it's because they know that there are no bullets on the detachment's side at all, and if they do, they want it in vain!

Zhang Ran can be sure that these guys are now at a level where they can't even break one bullet into three!

With their urine nature, even if they did something to lose a few lives in order to save a bullet, Zhang Ran would definitely not feel strange......

"Captain, we have to find a way to solve the ammunition problem as soon as possible!"

Mao Diamond said worriedly: "Even if we can't make bullets for a while, but in terms of reloading bullets, we must complete it as soon as possible, every time I see the soldiers holding a few bullets like the baby son of the family, my heart hurts, I think I, the minister of ammunition, is incompetent......"

Zhang Ran squinted at the hair drill, and said in his heart, what do you mean by this? You say that you, the minister of ammunition, are incompetent, isn't that a disguised scolding of Lao Tzu, the captain, for being incompetent?

"The problem of ammunition, you are anxious, I am more anxious than you - but pure sulfuric acid has not come out, there is no nitric acid without sulfuric acid, we can't do anything without nitric acid, what can I do?"

Zhang Ran snorted stupidly, and severely criticized Mao Zuan's behavior of scolding him for carrying himself and scolding himself again, and then said: "I'm already thinking of a way here, I'll go to Deng Gong's chemical department later, urge them, and strive to let them get ......the sulfuric acid out as soon as possible."

While going down the mountain, Zhang Ran sighed and took out a small notebook, remembering his trip to the back mountain, and knew that those problems that could not be used at all to procrastinate and avoid words, but must be solved as soon as possible.

The first is the power problem of the second workshop.

Second, sulfuric acid must be solved as soon as possible, nitric acid must be brought out, primer fire, and reloading bullets must be made!

At the same time, due to the fact that they have started to train personnel independently, all departments in the base area are recruiting a large number of people.

For example, the second workshop expanded by forty or fifty people at once, and the few such as the blacksmith shop, which also increased by thirty, but if you want to say that the new recruitment has the least, it has to count Deng Fang's chemical department, which only recruited six people!

At present, there is an extreme shortage of chemical talents, as long as they can really cultivate talents, there is no need to worry about their uselessness!

In the near future, when the Japanese army was frantically blockading the base areas behind enemy lines, and the base areas had to rely on themselves, Zhang Ran believed that even if the base areas cultivated more chemical talents, as long as they told the main force, the base areas would definitely rush to get it!

Therefore, Zhang Ran couldn't wait to stuff a hundred and ten people into the Ministry of Chemical Industry at once, and let Deng Fang train all of them into chemical experts.

But why did the Ministry of Chemical Industry only admit six trainees in the end?

It's not that Zhang Ran doesn't want to recruit, it's that there's no way!

In places like breeding farms, the second workshop of the blacksmith shop of the ammunition department, as long as the young people have good brains and are careful and energetic, they can basically be used.

But the Ministry of Chemical Industry can't!

For example, when the same substance reacts, under the temperature difference of one or two degrees, two completely different substances may be formed......

These things, after all, the complexity of chemical reactions can never be made up by careful accumulation of experience, and they must have a considerable cultural foundation.

It is necessary to have considerable cultural knowledge to help them understand various chemical reactions, and to draw inferences from these chemical reactions, so as to provide more possibilities for the development of chemical foundation!

And in the base areas, the most lacking is young people with sufficient cultural background - as for those who have learned to recognize some words in literacy, well, they are all in the stage of rote memorization, and there is still a long, long way to go before they can fully understand these words to the level of listening to the strings and knowing the meaning of elegance!
