The second workshop is also busy with dogs.

Not only because the base area now monopolizes the land of the two counties, the number of soldiers in the detachment plus the detachment exceeds 1,000, and there is also a huge number of militia troops, but also because the base area also has to supply Yangquan, Lingjiang guerrillas, and Yuanguang County with relevant materials.

When there are too many people, the consumption in all aspects is too great.

Not to mention the grenades and mines, not to mention the essential things for individual soldiers such as the triangular military thorn, let's just say that the parts of this gun are consumed, and the blacksmith shop can only produce rough blanks, and everything has to be refined in the second workshop.

These alone are enough to make the second workshop busy!

What's even worse is that now that Dongcang Road is about to be repaired, the coal mines produced in Longwanggou will be continuously transported, which requires a large number of bearings to equip chicken buses.

Therefore, even if the second workshop is the department with the largest increase in the number of students in this wave of student recruitment, it is still the busiest department in the whole base area.

After wandering around the second workshop and laughing at Cui Sanyuan and other fitters who were busy repairing various components every day and his arms were thickened, Zhang Ran hurriedly slipped away before Cheng Dongshan found out, so as not to worry about himself about power machinery!

There are already four power engines in the base area, two engines on large trucks, a diesel engine snatched from outside the provincial capital and a small engine for a motorcycle, and four chief engineers.

Now a lot of fuel oil is produced by refining coal tar, and it stands to reason that with the addition of four power engines, it should be enough.

But that's not always the case!

The engine of the motorcycle is being modified in the detachment, which is something that will be prepared in the future for the incarnation of the road pickpocket, which is completely immovable.

The small engine has long been brought to the copper smelter by Deng Fang, and after modification, it is used to oxygenate the blast of the tower cylinder for the preparation of sulfuric acid and the blast of the sulfur box.

The remaining two car engines have enough to drive four or five lathes of various kinds, and they can't be played at all......

After leaving the second workshop, Zhang Ran wandered to a place where he most likely wouldn't ask himself for this or that - the test site for the experimental flying thunder cannon led by Mao Diamond.

This is also the purpose of Zhang Ran's busy sneaking to the back mountain today.

According to Mao Zuan, the experiment of the flying thunder cannon has been successful!

The purpose of asking him to come here today is to let the head of the detachment come and review the research results of the Ammunition Department.

The crater has been greatly expanded, and a cover made of bluestone slabs has been added to the top, leaving only a few observation holes to observe the demonstration of the flying thunder cannon.

From the outside, this crater is now similar to the little devil's bunker, but it is much smaller.

Obviously, in the research and development process of the transformation of the conscienceless cannon into the artifact flying thunder cannon, this conscienceless cannon caused a lot of trouble to the members of the ammunition department such as Mao Diamond, otherwise they would not have built the bomb crater like this.

Now, there are a bunch of people drilled in the crater.

Kang Ting, Shi Yuan, Slender Monkey, Zhang Baoxin, and Chu Jianglong, the commander of the newly formed company, all came, and one by one they were huddled in this bunker-like bomb shelter and looked out through the lookout hole.

Seeing Zhang Ran coming, a group of people only left the position with the best field of vision to Zhang Ran.

"As for you!"

Looking at this group of guys who shrunk their heads one by one, looking ready to lie on the ground at any time to avoid danger, Zhang Ran said angrily: "Minister Mao notified us to come over, will he still harm us?" ”

"Of course Minister Mao won't harm us, but it's hard to say without conscience!"

Kang Ting snorted: "Just to experiment with this, the original seven or eight of the ammunition department plus the more than forty new apprentices now, half of them have been in the detachment hospital, and there are still five or six who have not been discharged yet!" ”

"That's it!"

A group of guys said with palpitations: "If it's a simple explosion or something, forget it, the key is to listen to Minister Mao and them, this has no conscience, where the explosive package shoots out depends on the mood of the person, it is not impossible to fly diagonally or even backwards - just thinking about it, it can scare people to death!" ”

Zhang Ran is very clear about this situation.

The reason why the shell flies straight is because the gravity of the shell is large, and it fits perfectly with the barrel, and there is rifling in the chamber to increase rotation.

But the explosive bag that was shot without conscience is different, just that large piece is easily disturbed by wind resistance or something, if there is any strange wind when it is discharged, it is really impossible to fly backwards......

But Zhang Ran doesn't care about these.

After all, no matter how conscience the cannon is, most of it must still fly forward!

With it, the detachment will be able to get rid of the situation where all the artillery has to rely on grenadiers and grenades to fight the world!

In any case, with this conscienceless cannon, the significance to the detachment is definitely not without I don't know how many times!

Thinking of this, Zhang Ran looked out.

Mao Diamond is taking a few apprentices to charge the Flying Thunder Cannon and load the explosives package, in an orderly manner.

Five or six gasoline barrels, with openings diagonally forward.

The erection method is no longer the erection method that Zhang Ran thought of in the movie before, and he found a few shelves to set up as soon as his brain took a shot, but most of them were buried in the soil and fixed, leaving only a short section outside, which looked like a few black poisonous eyes on the ground.

At the beginning, more than a dozen gasoline barrels were confiscated from the home of the landlord Lao Cai near Yangquan, and a few more gasoline barrels were picked up in Dongjiang County, which could have been used to make seventeen or eighteen flying thunder cannons.

But now there are only six left.

There is no need to ask, Zhang Ran also knows that the remaining gasoline barrels are estimated to have been scrapped in various ways.

"Ready!"

"Ignition ......"

With a loud roar, several apprentices took torches and lit the fuses on the gasoline barrel that connected the primer and the explosive pack!

Kang Ting and the others covered their ears one after another, and their bodies were half-squatting ready to lie down at any time.

"Look at them, and then look at you—especially you!"

Zhang Ran scolded angrily: "I'm embarrassed to say that I have even seen the little devil's naval guns, so I am so bold?" Minister Mao, they are still standing in front of the conscienceless cannon, and they are not afraid, but you are still scared like this when you hide in this bomb crater? You're not ashamed, I'm ashamed......"

Before the words fell, there were a few loud bangs, and Zhang Ran's ears were almost cracked!

With a few loud bangs, five or six explosive packets rose into the air!

It's not too slow, but it's definitely not fast, and you can see it clearly with the naked eye anyway.

Two of the explosive packets, like cannonballs out of the chamber, whizzed forward.

But the rest of them didn't, flying crookedly as if they were drunk, and some were still struggling......

But the situation of flying backwards did not appear!

It was only then that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and what they were most afraid of was that these explosive bags would fly back and give them a break on their heads......

Five or six explosives bags flew out more than 200 meters, and then smashed to the ground like stones......

Just when Zhang Ran was about to ask why it hadn't exploded yet, an earth-shattering loud noise exploded one after another where the explosive package landed!

Thundered......

In the violent explosion, the flames soared into the sky, and the smoke rose!

The air wave generated by the explosion swept in all directions like a violent wind, and the earth trembled incessantly in the violent explosion......

In the crater, the earth fell in this violent tremor, and the ground under his feet was like an earthquake, and the ground shook like a mountain......

"Awesome......"

It took a while for Zhang Ran to recover from the huge shock, and he slapped Kang Ting Shiyuan's shoulder fiercely and said, "Flying Thunder Cannon, it really deserves its name, hahaha......"

Countless times, he had seen the Flying Thunder Cannon show its power from those online TVs, but he had never experienced it in real time.

Now, he finally experienced the power of this flying thunder cannon on the spot!

Even though this flying thunder cannon has such and such shortcomings, such as the firing range is not far, the impact point is not accurate enough, it is easy to explode, and it is difficult to operate, but just the moment of explosion is enough to cover up all the shortcomings of the flying thunder cannon itself!

It is conceivable that if these cannons fall in a dense place or in the position of devils, it is guaranteed that dozens of little devils will be sent back to his mother's womb in an instant!

But Zhang Ran didn't get any response, and even his clapping hand slapped into the air.

Kang Ting, Shi Yuan and the others were watching the wolf rush in Kong, flying forward like a wild dog, and rushed in the direction where the explosive bag exploded a few hundred meters away......

"Damn, I was disgusted just now, but now I see the power, and I run like dogs......

The actions of several people reminded Zhang Ran of the proverb, he was as anxious as a dog when he got to bed, and he was ugly when he finished the matter, so he came out of the bomb crater very stupidly, and chased after him while scolding, to see what the exact power of the flying thunder cannon was.

Near the bombing point, it has long been a mess!

Around several large pits that were blown up, countless pieces of broken glass and broken iron contained in the explosives bag were cut, and the ground was as if it had been chopped by countless knives, and the traces were intertwined, and even many of the plants and trees within the explosion range were completely crushed into powder!

"Awesome, awesome!"

Kang Ting whirled around on the ground, and wow-wow-wow: "In addition to not shooting far enough and shooting inaccurately, this thing can be more terrifying than the little devil's naval guns......

"Captain, with this conscienceless cannon you invented, if the little devils meet our detachment again, they will have good fruits to eat, hahaha......"

Shi Yuan, the thin monkey and the others were also screaming, jumping up and down, chattering and laughing—obviously, everyone hadn't forgotten that last time in Weijiapo, thousands of people were blown up by Yoshino from a few miles away, but they didn't even have a chance to fight back.

"Why don't you have a conscience? This is our artifact flying thunder cannon - a cannon to help us fight devils, can it be called a conscienceless cannon? ”

Zhang Ran shouted, justifying the name of this artifact, the mood was extremely happy, and he couldn't wait to find an opportunity to immediately drag his artifact flying thunder cannon over to compete with the little devil.

Every time he robbed those seniors of the credit before, Zhang Ran felt a little guilty, but this time, he only had excitement and happiness in his heart!

Without artillery, all the soldiers and civilians who were active on the anti-Japanese front suffered so much!

As long as this flying thunder cannon is promoted, it will definitely greatly alleviate the problem of insufficient artillery fire on our side, and will not let the artillery fire of the little devil continue to be so unscrupulous and rampant!
