……

Zhang Ran didn't expect that his pure reliant shot could have such a big impact on the soldiers.

But it is undeniable that what he hears on TV or in movies about his heartbeat, breathing, etc., does have an impact on the hit rate......

The kiln factory at the west end of the village is steaming.

Acid-resistant pottery for the manufacture of sulfuric acid is still far from being fired, and even if it is fired, it is still a long way to go to change the glaze recipe at any time while using it.

At this moment, in front of Zhang Ran was a batch of reddish-brown clay pots.

These clay pots are somewhat like the small wine jars of the present, with big bellies and thin mouths, but the openings are even smaller than the wine jars, and the size of each one is about the size of two fists.

Old man Wang looked at Zhang Ran, rubbing his hands and looking worried, for fear that Zhang Ran would not be satisfied.

After all, although the quality of these clay pots is good, they are not glazed and nothing else, and the opening is still so small, he really doesn't know why Zhang Ran let him burn this thing......

From his point of view, this thing is a little unsatisfactory when it is a night pot!

Zhang Ran listened to the sound of the clay pot, weighed it again, and nodded with great satisfaction!

Although it is a clay pot, the body of the pot is hard enough and weighs only a pound - it can be said that it is more perfect than he expected!

"Master Wang, if you follow this and burn me more—burn two hundred in five days, is there a problem?" Zhang Ran asked.

"No problem, no problem, this clay is ready-made, and it is much easier to make billet firing......"

Old man Wang, who was originally worried that Zhang Ran would not be satisfied, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and asked with some doubts: "Captain Zhang, can you ask why you are burning so many of these things?" Not to mention that it can't hold many things, it's not good to look at......"

"What are you doing, Master Wang, don't ask first, I'll tell you when I'm more mature - then I've been tired of Uncle Wang for the past few days, and I'll let someone fry some meat for you in the kitchen at night!"

"Oh, what's that embarrassing......"

Old man Wang and a few apprentices said that they were embarrassed, but thinking about eating meat, the saliva came down.

Zhang Ran went to the back mountain with a few clay pots, and he felt a little sorry for not telling Old Man Wang and others about the purpose of these clay pots.

From the first time he used salt water to pretend to be chemical fertilizer, Zhang Ran consciously controlled a lot of sensitive information within the scope of a limited number of people.

Later, when Mao Zuan and Niu Da began to develop hand grenades, the road leading to the back mountain had begun to be guarded by militia, and after the machine came back, several sentry posts and fortifications were set up on the road, and even the ordinary people in the village were generally not allowed to enter casually.

The villagers only knew that there were machines and blacksmith furnaces in the back mountains, and that Mao Zuan, the head of ammunition, was also staying in there all day, but most of them did not know exactly what they were doing.

The same is true for the copper mines.

The vast majority of people, including Xu Jiunian, only knew that the copper mine was copper smelting, and the things that Deng Fang later modified on the copper smelting furnace were only set up to control the flue gas pollution environment, and he didn't know more things.

The small number of people who know these things are carefully selected people with strong political consciousness, and they are all under Zhang Ran's teaching, and they have signed the secrecy regulations.

In these cases, the common people who don't know the situation have some opinions.

But that's not the way it is.

Although the mass base in the base areas is becoming more and more solid, after all, there are many people and many mouths.

If the detachment made guns and cannons here, and as soon as it reached the ears of the Japanese traitors, it would be a big trouble!

Although such a simple secrecy measure at present will inevitably spread some rumors, it is not very sensitive after all, and even if it reaches the ears of the Japanese traitors, the other party will not think too much about it.

At the very least, it can greatly delay the time for the little devil to notice this.

Therefore, even if the villagers complained about it, Zhang Ran couldn't care about it so much.

"Captain, you said you used this as a mine?"

Mao Drill held a clay pot and looked at Zhang Ran and asked.

After this period of research and development of grenades, Mao Drill, a guy who used to do artillery battles, has obviously become a qualified military expert in thinking, and the first time he got the clay pot, he proposed that the power of black powder was not enough, and now the tank is so small, and the power of the explosion is not enough.

Of course, Zhang Ran also wanted to use a large clay pot and put more black powder in it to enhance the power of the explosion.

When the time comes, you will blow up a large piece of the devil!

It's just that this obviously doesn't work!

Because these mines are prepared for going to the vicinity of the Lingjiangkou battlefield, if the weight of a single mine is too large, it will be too heavy to carry on the body, affecting the movement speed of the team.

After all, the combat effectiveness of the detachment is very weak, in case of encountering the enemy, it is more necessary to quickly turn in to get rid of the enemy, if the movement speed of the team is affected because the mines carried are too large, then the only advantage of the detachment on the battlefield will also disappear!

However, Mao Diamond's reminder also reminded Zhang Ran that in addition to small mines, he might as well build a few large mines and carry them with him in case of emergency.

"I want these mines, both pressing and pulling!"

Zhang Ran handed the jar to Mao Drill, thought about it and said: "Large mines, all of them are set up for me as pull-out mines, and now all of these small mines are pressed!" ”

These small mines are obviously more difficult to kill people, and they are more used to prevent the enemy from biting their butts and chasing them on the retreat route.

And a large mine, even if it is black powder, kills and seriously injures people, almost no problem!

If the devil didn't step on the large mine and left the mine in place, in case one of the people accidentally stepped on it, it would be troublesome!

Even if the small mines are too late to dismantle because of the rapid withdrawal, most of them will be injured by the people by mistake, and they will be frightened, and the problem is not big.

Rough Diamond nodded.

After the manufacture of the grenade fuse, the drill is already an expert in this area.

There is no problem with the hair pulling device, as long as you make a device like a grenade pulling fire, and leave the pull line long enough, or even let the soldiers pick it up when they use it.

The hair pressure device is a little more troublesome, after all, pulling and pressing are not the same thing at all.

Mao Drill said that more tests are needed in terms of hair pressing devices, but the problem is not big.

Hearing him say this, Zhang Ran was slightly relieved.

However, considering the instability of the white phosphorus device, Zhang Ran felt that when the conditions were ripe in the future, this fuse device still needed to be improved - anyway, he always felt uneasy about this white phosphorus ignition device.

On the way back, Niu Da, who was repairing the broken guns brought back from the county seat, came over and muttered a complaint when he saw Zhang Ran, saying that the guns this time were much more damaged than the last guns, as long as they were springs and the like.

If there were high-quality springs, he could barely repair a few of them, but at present, this batch of guns is probably all singles, and when the time comes to release a shot, the bullet casings will bother the soldiers to pick them out themselves - on his side, at most, to ensure that the guns can be used, and will not explode!

Zhang Ran knew this in his heart, and only after comforting him did he ask: "The bayonet is still no way?" ”

"Our iron is not good, it is easy to roll up, and it will bend ...... when it is pricked"

Niu Da said with a sad face: "If there is enough time, I forge repeatedly, maybe I can make a few similar bayonets, but the time is so tight, I really can't ...... dozens of bayonets."

Zhang Ran took out a sketch of himself from his arms and said: "Then you can fight like this-at least you won't bend ...... when you tie it."

Niu Da looked at Zhang Ran's strange-looking sketch that seriously lacked a painting foundation, and asked carefully, and then his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he punched Zhang Ran angrily and said, "There is such a good thing, captain, why didn't you take it out earlier?" Not only is this thing easy to use, but it also saves me a lot of trouble to fight here......"

Zhang Ran smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that this three-edged military thorn is indeed a good thing, but its limitations are also big......

This thing is so good, do you think I'm going to make you take off your pants and fart and fight with a bayonet?
