The successful manufacture of the flame thrower gave Zhang Ran, who was still apprehensive despite his full preparations, a little comfort.

The only thing that made him a little dissatisfied was that due to the lack of raw materials, only four flamethrowers were made, and no more were made.

If there were forty flamethrowers......

Zhang Ran felt that his confidence in winning the battle of the autumn offensive launched by the little devils might be much more sufficient than now!

If you can promote the manufacturing technology of the flame thrower to all the Eighth Route Army behind the enemy, when the time comes to encounter the watchtower of the little devil, the stronghold, or when the situation is not good, pull the flame thrower out and spray it......

Zhang Ran suspects that the war will end prematurely without waiting for the Yankees to carry out the atomic bomb, and it may not be impossible!

After all, the damage caused by a single spray of a flame thrower is definitely much greater than the deterrent effect of sweeping the devils to death in piles with heavy machine guns...... After all, being burned alive and being shot to death are both deaths, but they are not the same concept at all.

One is to beat the devil to death, and the other is to burn the devil to death but not just burn to death!

It can also burn the will of the devils who have witnessed everything, so that the little devils know that before the flames of the flamethrower, the spirit of bushido, the farts of the top special mother......

Of course, although he regretted that the number of flame throwers was still too small, Zhang Ran also knew that if he really wanted to give himself forty flame throwers, it would be useless.

After all, the detachment relied on the little gasoline obtained from coking to make napalm fuel, which had to be used to make incendiary projectiles for trebuchets, and napalm rolling mines, and the rest could be used to supply flamethrowers......

Just four flamethrowers have to be spared, let alone forty.

This is still the case that the detachment can still coke, and there is still a way to get gasoline, so it dares to use four flamethrowers, and does not dare to continue to equip more, then other Eighth Route Army base areas behind enemy lines do not have their own fuel sources at all, and it will be even more difficult to promote and equip him with flamethrowers.

As far as Zhang Ran knows, the detachment has steam engines, various power engines, and coking plants, so it can not worry about all kinds of power fuels, and there is no base area in the rest of the base areas that does not worry about oil and other things!

The Eighth Route Army was poor, there were no planes, motorcycles, cars, and it didn't matter much if it seemed that there was no fuel - but in fact, it was far from the case!

In many battles, in fact, the Eighth Route Army also had a lot of captured motorcycles, cars and other things, but because there was no fuel, the Eighth Route Army could not consider using these machinery, and finally had to blow up and burn them......

I don't have to use it, so I'll destroy it and don't give you a little devil to use such a method.

If there is fuel, the Eighth Route Army will not destroy these things, but use them, Zhang Ran believes that it will definitely greatly improve the strength of the Eighth Route Army.

But even if these things are destroyed, there are actually a lot of power machinery in the base areas behind the enemy that still need fuel!

It is because there is no fuel that some power machinery in each base area can only be placed in the warehouse for the return trip, so that many jobs that can be replaced by mechanical power have to be completed by time and effort purely by hand......

Even if the power machinery does not use fuel, the Eighth Route Army sometimes has to work at night, and if the people want to do something at night, then they have to use oil to light the lamp, right?

But because of the blockade of the devils, many base areas are so poor that they can't even find kerosene for lighting lamps!

In order to solve the fuel problem, the Eighth Route Army and other parties tried their best, and finally even ignored the situation that food was already scarce to the extreme, and used corn sorghum fermentation and distillation alcohol as mechanical power and lighting ......

That's like lighting a lamp with a hungry stomach!

In this case, Zhang Ran believes that even if all the base areas know the role of the flamethrower, I am afraid that no base area is willing to use this thing to clean up the devil - after all, if this thing is sprayed, I am afraid that it will take hundreds of soldiers and ordinary people to starve for several days to calm down, and the cost is too great!

Compared with hundreds of people who are hungry for a few days, it is estimated that the villagers of the Eighth Route Army are more willing to use a few lives to clean up the devils, and they will not be willing to use flamethrowers.

But even if he knew this situation, Zhang Ran still decided to let Cheng Dongshan and them immediately start training relevant talents for the technology of manufacturing flame throwers, and when the training was almost complete, they would immediately be stationed in other guerrilla areas together with the military manufacturing talents trained by the detachment, and strive to arm the flame throwers to various departments!

This is not only because in the absence of artillery fire, the flamethrower is too good for pulling out the permanent fortifications such as the devil's watchtower and dark fort, which can reduce the death of many people, but also because Zhang Ran knows the location of many oil fields!

As long as the oil is extracted, do you still need to be afraid that there will be no fuel for it?

China has no oil, this is the conclusion of many experts in modern times.

After the war, the little devil also organized a large number of geological teams to look for oil everywhere on Chinese soil, but in the end it also fell short, so he further proved the conclusion that China has no oil......

But Zhang Ran knows that this is not true!

Although China's oil reserves are not very rich, there is still oil - such as the famous Daqing Oilfield, Shengli Oilfield, etc., which are all super-large oil fields with reserves measured in tens of billions of tons......

Even, when the little devils dig for oil everywhere in China, they are almost able to dig up oil!

According to the literature, the little devil once dug a drilling well 100 kilometers away from the discovery of the Daqing oilfield......

Many people say that the reason why the little devil did not dig up oil around the Daqing Oilfield was because the technology was not up to par and the drilling was not deep enough, so the oil was not dug out......

But Zhang Ran prefers to believe the statement that many people regard as nonsense that the little devil didn't dig up oil so close to the Daqing Oilfield - that is, his little devil kills innocents everywhere, so brutal and unkind, even God can't see it!

The little devil didn't find the oil, but God wanted to clean him up!

The reason why Zhang Ran is willing to believe this statement is not only because this nonsense has happened to him, but also because the little devils sent out to find oil are also experts, not a group of fools!

It is so close to the Daqing Oilfield, even if the drilling position is not deep enough, at least in the rock specimens, it should be reflected, right?

But these little devils' oil experts didn't see it...... Isn't it like God wants to clean up the little devils?

After all, as long as the little devil discovers the Daqing oil field, the little devil will never fight Pearl Harbor because the Yankees blockaded the Pacific Ocean, nor will they fight India, the Philippines, and Myanmar because of the lack of materials......

When the time comes, they will be able to deal with China wholeheartedly.

If that is the case, although Zhang Ran still firmly believes that Chinese can still win this war in the end, he also suspects that I am afraid that this battle will have to be fought for decades before it will have a result, and it will not be like the development of history, and the little devil will raise the white flag in a few years......

Therefore, Zhang Ran insisted on believing that if the little devil did not find the oil field, it would be retribution.

Even if it just makes him feel happy to think so, he is willing to think so.

Of course, Zhang Ran would not be stupid enough to promote the flamethrower in the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, so that the soldiers have a more relaxed watchtower that can pull out the devil's watchtower, abolish the little devil's use of the watchtower stronghold, and vainly try to launch a cage policy against the base areas behind the enemy, and completely blockade the means of attempt, so he threw out the Daqing Oilfield......

He was sure that if he shook out the location of the Daqing Oilfield now, he was afraid that this War of Resistance against Japan, which had only been fought for 15 years, would have to be fought for decades, and he didn't know when it would end......

The oil field he had in mind was Yanchang Oil Mine.

Yanchang oil mine is like tailor-made for the Eighth Route Army!

There are several reasons for this.

On the one hand, the location of the extended oil field is in the control area at the core of the organization, and there is sufficient security in terms of safety.

On the other hand, it is to extend the reserves of oil mines, no more, no less!

Quite a few of them mean that the oil extracted by the Yanchang Oil Mine can be enough to supply the Eighth Route Army's current oil consumption, but it is not big, but its reserves are only enough for the Eighth Route Army, not to mention that there are so many planes, cars, tanks, and warships of the little devils, and even the chairman's troops cannot look down on those reserves......

Therefore, even if the little devil knows about this oil field, he doesn't have to worry that the little devil who has no oil is red-eyed and wants to take it down, and then occupy the oil field to suck blood, and then use it to clean up the Chinese military and civilians......

These are not only evidence that Zhang Ran can take into account that he can shake out this oil mine, not only can help the Chinese military and civilians resist Japan without causing a reaction, but also things that have been proven by historical facts.

Because this oil mine has been exploited for a long time, and even all these years, it has been mined!

It was because of the prolonged exploitation of oil mines that the supply of oil to most of the troops behind enemy lines was ensured......

It's just that due to various reasons, the current production of Yanchang oil mines, just like the previous work of the detachment, is almost all carried out by local methods, and the output of the oil fields has not been fully brought into full play at all!

Therefore, Zhang Ran did not throw out a new oil mine to attract the attention of the fruit, but he was ready to give some suggestions to Yanchang Oil Mine, so that he could increase the output of Yanchang Oil Mine as much as possible without using too many resources!

As long as the output of the Yanchang oil mine increases, Zhang Ran will not have to worry about the good guys who have flamethrowers in the guerrilla areas and are reluctant to use this kind of thing because of waste oil!

After all, the Eighth Route Army is just picking because it is poor, but it is not stupid - if there are good things that are not used, it is really stupid!
