Chapter 217 Solving the Problem of Seamless Steel Pipes
"It's different from anywhere I've ever been to in China, it's like two worlds......"
The woman walked forward with her waist bent, no different from anyone fleeing, except that her eyes kept flickering, as if she wanted to engrave everything she saw into her mind......
As she said, entering this Dongjiang County is like entering another world!
As a veteran female spy, she will go anywhere as long as the mission requires, whether it is the bustling Shanghai Tang, the bureaucratic mountain town, or the countryside......
But this was the first time he had entered the guerrilla zone controlled by the Eighth Route Army.
In the places she has been to before, she has seen the merchant girl who does not know the hatred of the country, the self-deception of the backyard on the other side, and the bureaucratic warlords who do everything to make a fortune, like a bloodthirsty shark, and has also seen those foolish people who are still numb and dazed even if the knife hangs on their necks, which makes people lament their misfortune and anger ......
But here, she saw in the militia, in the people who sang and waved all kinds of tools in the snow, the enthusiasm that was about to erupt, the life that grew everywhere in the land, and the flames that burned everything!
"Don't mention that word again, Keiko!"
An Jinsan, who disguised himself as a refugee, looked displeased, lowered his voice and snorted coldly: "As a qualified spy officer, we must do what identity we play, we have to turn ourselves into that person - now we are brothers and sisters who have fled, you must remember this!" ”
"Got it, big brother!"
The woman replied with a smile, although she looked a little old because she was broken and dirty, but when she laughed, the charm that came from the bone marrow made her look particularly moving......
"You're such a natural vixen, this time, I don't know which one to get cheaper......"
An Shi Jinsan was a little distracted in that smile, and Jin'er muttered a little angrily.
"If this were not the case, how would the Imperial Military choose me to perform a beauty trick?"
The woman sneered, and then lowered her voice and said: "Now that my imperial army is pressing, this Zhang Ran can manage the area that will be crushed by the iron hooves of my army at any time like this, this person is really not simple-no wonder Yoshino Shaosa and An Jijun have all suffered a big loss at the hands of this guy......"
These words were like the scar that was most unwilling to be touched was torn open, which made An Jinsan's face extremely difficult to see.
Finally came to the core area of the Jindong detachment, and it is said that the two will seize every opportunity to collect intelligence, such as going to more places, such as finding a few more villagers to inquire about the situation here.
But neither of them at all.
Because they are the best agents of the Empire, they know too well what they should do and when.
Although it seems that the two of them have never suffered any trouble when they enter the Dongjiang River except for being interrogated by the two militiamen for a few words, they are sure that every move of the two of them will definitely have countless pairs of eyes staring at, and if there is a slight mistake, their identities will be immediately exposed!
The guy who can run Dongjiang County like this with his own strength will never be an idle person, and he can let the two of them come and go freely here!
So at present, not doing anything is the most important thing a good spy should do.
As long as they can lurk here, then even if they don't have to deliberately inquire, they believe that they will be able to gather enough information about this side.
Although it may take a lot of time to figure it out like this, neither of them cares.
The empire has been plotting for decades, and they themselves have completely changed themselves from a Japanese to a Chinese - whether it is speaking, eating habits, or behavior.
So much time can wait, you can survive.
They don't care about spending a little more time!
In the county seat, in front of the refugee camp where the refugees are temporarily sheltered, there are militia guards, and there are porridge pots steaming hot.
Once the hungry refugees have registered, they can enter the camp, drink a bowl of hot gruel, and find a warm room to sleep in – and as for staying and drinking, they can plan after they have eaten enough and rested.
The base area in Yanggou Town.
Because of the opening of various training courses, young talents who have been carefully selected from all over the country have been gathered one after another, which has added a lot of vitality to the location of the detachment headquarters.
The process of learning is not to stay in the classroom and listen to the teacher's lessons, but to adopt a more direct method, learning while working, and working while learning.
Therefore, whether it is Wang Wenhua from the farm, Deng Fang from the chemical industry, or Mao Drill from the ammunition department, they are all accompanied by a large group of students, while learning on the spot, while applying what they have learned.
In this way, these various training courses are more like the meaning of a master leading an apprentice.
The only difference is that the masters here don't hide it, but teach them everything they know in the shortest possible time.
Niu Da led a group of people to tinkle in the built blacksmith workshop, and the number of blast furnaces and blacksmith furnaces had increased to seven or eight.
Among them, except for Niu Da and a few of the most clever people who were fighting against a piece of good steel, and wanted to solve the problem that the barrel of the grenadier would always crack after firing a few times as soon as possible, the rest of the apprentices were forging such as grenade shells, three-edged military thorns, or special gun components.
As soon as these grenade casings, triangular military thorns, firearms and other components are built, they will be immediately sent to the ammunition department, the second workshop for finishing.
After the processing is completed, all of them will be immediately packed into boxes, and the militia will be transported to the county seat with mules, donkeys, etc., and then transported by the militiamen from Cangshui, Yangquan, Lingjiang and even Yuanguang who are waiting there at the first time, and the mules, donkeys, etc., will be transported back to the base area with all kinds of scrap copper and rotten iron that have been scavenged back by the soldiers and militiamen from all over the country......
"Still can't do it......"
Zhang Ran handed the grenadier that had problems after a few test shots from the fighters to Niu Dadao: "After seven shots, the barrel is a little cracked again......
"I can only pick a hammer, not a machine to make seamless steel pipes!"
I don't know if it's because I'm too tired, or because I'm angry because of one failure after another, anyway, no matter who talks to Niu Da now, this guy is like eating gunpowder, just a little bit!
However, when he looked up and saw that it was Zhang who came over with the scrap, but it was not Shi Yuan, Kang Ting and others, Niu Da's tone finally softened a little and said: "Captain, I really can't help it-just the barrel of this grenadier you brought, the five of us fought for seven days, and we repeated the forging more than a dozen times......"
"I know, it has nothing to do with your lack of craftsmanship, the most important thing is to open up ideas!"
Zhang Ran comforted Niu Dadao: "The cannon barrel is a seamless steel pipe, you now use an iron plate to make a cylinder, no matter how much effort you put in, it has seams on it is certain, under normal circumstances, you can't see it, but when you fire it, the explosive force of the cannonball will definitely crack......
Niu Da had the urge to take off his head and give it to Zhang Ran to try how to open up his mind.
"Don't get angry!"
Zhang Ran laughed hurriedly, tugged his chin and said, "I thought of an idea, I don't know if it will work out......
"Multi-layer superposition, staggered seam forging and fusion, I have thought of all the methods I can think of......"
Niu Da stared at Zhang Ran stupidly, with a look on his face I don't believe that I can't even think of a way like a professional, what else can you do.
Zhang Ran didn't speak, just tore open a piece of paper, rolled it into a long tube in a spiral shape, and then rolled another paper tube, overlapped the two paper tubes, and handed it to Niu Dadao: "Do you think this will work?" ”
"And that's not even a seam!"
Niu Da's heart moved slightly, but he retorted with a hard mouth on his face.
"There are seams, but don't forget, whether it's a grenadier, a cannon barrel or a barrel, the explosive force generated by the ammunition in it is expanding to all sides, and I'm like this, if the explosive force wants to shake the barrel of the cartridge, it needs the force to extend forward and backward, so as long as you play according to the way I explained, it will definitely not crack outward!"
Zhang Ran pointed to the paper tube he rolled and said: "As for it cracking forward or backward, you can also see that these two spiral paper tubes are staggered with each other, and when the building is completed, the force of cracking forward and backward will be offset by these two wrong paper tubes - so, if you play according to what I say, there should be no problem with the grenadier cylinder this time......
"You're more professional than me!"
Niu snorted stupidly, but after all, he immediately called the best students to discuss together, and then immediately opened the furnace, and said to Zhang Ran at the same time: "If you fail again this time, it will be on your head as the captain!" ”
"This time it will work!"
Zhang Ran said confidently.
This kind of faith is not that he trusts his own judgment, nor does it fall from the sky.
But in history, the Eighth Route Army relied on this method to solve the problem of not finding a seamless steel pipe in the base area, and thus produced a variety of weapons, the most famous of which is the horse rifle made by the Eighth Route Army!
Those eight-way seniors can use this method to make seamless steel pipes with local methods, Zhang Ran still doesn't believe that if he comes here, it will not work - there is no such reason!
Then Zhang Ran threw off his legs and ran, Niu Da was rushing out of the blacksmith shop and yelling for him not to go......
Zhang Ran not only didn't stop, but ran faster!
Just borrowed the wisdom of his predecessors and pretended to be a force, he didn't want to wait for Niu Da to come back and talk about himself for good steel or something, and then make a disgraced face.
This kind of thing of being chased by people to ask for things, Zhang Ran is now in the base area, and he will encounter it all day long.
He is now like a capitalist who owes countless workers their hard-earned money, shrinking his head everywhere he goes, almost like a rat crossing the street......
