Chapter 142: The Fuze Problem

It's just that Li Ziyuan wanted to come up with the idea of potassium chlorate, but he never got it. , the latest chapter access: ШШШ.79xs.СоМ . Now his technical ability, making this kind of power greater than the original home-made black fire 'medicine', is already the limit of what he can make. Potassium chlorate is a product with relatively high requirements for raw materials and processes.

Potassium chlorate can be extracted from those few chemicals, which is clear to Li Ziyuan. But there are no raw materials and equipment at hand, and there is nothing to do. At least chloric acid and potassium hydroxide, which he really couldn't figure out. Without the high oxidizing agent potassium chlorate, the power of black fire 'medicine' would end there.

The bit of potassium permanganate that Liu Yanlai brought, Li Ziyun didn't let go. In Li Ziyun's words, although these potassium permanganate are a little thicker, they are a rare thing in the absence of 'medicine'. For Li Ziyun, the needs of the wounded come first. Li Ziyun didn't let go, and Li Ziyuan naturally didn't dare to go to the tiger's mouth to extract teeth.

Looking at the power of the black fire 'medicine' that came out, Li Ziyuan shook his head and was very dissatisfied. It was still too far from what he imagined to be powerful. However, it seems to be a little more powerful than the black fire 'medicine' distributed by the superiors, and the power of creating land mines is enough. The black fire 'medicine' made by himself is filled with a crockpot, and when ignited, the lethality is not small.

There are only two blacksmiths in the entire second district, and there is a lack of white iron to make the projectile body, so Li Ziyuan took another shortcut and chose the crockpot as the thunder shell, which can be regarded as a helpless choice. However, Li Ziyuan also found a few carpenters who were not lacking in the base area, made some wooden mine shells, and adopted hard killing methods to create some wooden mines.

But the problem is that with white phosphorus and black fire 'medicine', how to detonate has become a difficult problem. Using the fuse to ignite it, not to mention whether the time is in time or not, is also quite disadvantageous in terms of concealment 'sex'. The ignition point of white phosphorus is 40 degrees, as long as the white phosphorus can be burned in the shortest time, this detonation problem will be solved.

It's just that after countless experiments, Li Ziyuan still hasn't figured out how to use the materials at hand to make white phosphorus burn and detonate mines in the shortest possible time. The most difficult thing to solve is to make the white phosphorus spontaneously ignite at the right time under Rene. The way to pull the fire has become the best choice.

Guo Laosan's method of making wild boar cannons, although it can make the mine explode by itself, but the power is much smaller, not to mention, he can only hope that when the devil steps on the mine, the strength can reach the strength of the wild boar when it bites. The production method of the boar cannon is only suitable for making pressure hair. However, for mountain warfare, the flexibility of the use of pressure mines is not as good as that of trip mines.

In fact, the manufacturing process of tripping thunder is not complicated, and it is not much different from the pull-hair fuse used by Gongzao and Jinzao grenades. But the problem is that he does not have the raw materials for the draw-on fuse, and he has nowhere to find the lead powder and glass powder required for such a fuse.

Li Ziyuan finally used the principle of match friction to start a fire, after many experiments. Use the copper wire in the Japanese army's telephone line, or the iron wire found to make a 'hairy' edge. It is a simple friction type fire pull tube that is coated with white phosphorus doped with some red phosphorus to increase the ignition point with another copper wire or iron wire, which can be regarded as a general problem.

Although it is still somewhat unreliable and there is a problem of premature ignition, it can barely solve this problem. Looking at the more than 100 crockpot mines that have been manufactured, although the crockpots suitable for the entire second area have been collected. But it can barely be regarded as fighting guerrilla warfare for himself, adding a strong arm.

Just looking at the nitrate, the remaining product of boiling nitrate, Li Ziyuan could only shake his head and 'wave' in vain. This thing can be combined with concentrated sulfuric acid to separate hydrogen chloride. And with hydrogen chloride, you can make potassium chlorate. But the problem is that I don't have the equipment to collect hydrogen chloride gas, let alone extract chloric acid from it.

However, Li Ziyuan, who didn't want to 'waste' these nitrates, carefully collected them. Although nitrate also contains sodium chloride, there are many impurities in this soil salt, which is toxic to the human body. If you dispose of it yourself, who will take it back and eat it for poisoning. Besides, there is no chance to make potassium chlorate now, and there may not be no chance to do it in the future.

In fact, Li Ziyuan is a little too concerned about this matter. He did not dare to ask the military sub-district for help, preferring to make a mess there himself, for fear that the military region would know about it and transfer him to the military industrial department. He knew that the General Headquarters was now desperately strengthening the production capacity of the military industry and recruiting all the talents who could make weapons, ammunition, and medicine.

Not to mention that he also knows some chemical knowledge, that is, those who make firecrackers and will 'fiddle' with black fire 'medicine', they are mobilized as much as possible. If you know that you know chemistry knowledge and have a certain amount of hands-on ability, you have to transfer yourself to the 'door' of the Ministry of Military Industry. If you want to engage in technology, you have to suffocate yourself to death.

Li Ziyuan's greatest interest now is on the battlefield and nothing else. Transferring him from the main force to the local area and reorganizing the local armed forces have made him depressed for so long. If he leaves the army and goes to engage in some mines and grenades, isn't this his life?

Not only did he not dare to ask for help from the division, but he even demanded that all cadres and soldiers, especially Guan Li, who often ran to the division, be tight-lipped in this matter. As for the partition to be known later, that's for later. But now, he doesn't want to let his superiors know at this time that he can make high-quality black fire 'medicine'.

However, just after Li Ziyuan's first batch of qualified products was manufactured, he didn't have time to rest or celebrate. Li Ziyuan, who had been busy all day and was in the dark, received a notice from the sub-district and immediately went to the military sub-district for a meeting. Receiving this notice, Li Ziyuan couldn't help but be stunned. Since he was transferred to Hubei County, the sub-district has never transferred himself back to the sub-district for a meeting.

The notice of this meeting came so suddenly, so that Li Ziyuan did not dare to have any delay. After 'handing over' Guo Laosan, he continued to make mines according to his own methods. Let Qian Defu and He Huizhang continue to follow their own plans and take the troops after training. Li Ziyuan took Liu Lianming and rushed to Ludong, where the military sub-district was located, in the shortest possible time.

When he arrived at the sub-district station, Li Ziyuan didn't even have time to drink his saliva, so he was found in the conference room to attend the meeting. Until the beginning of the meeting, the divisional commander conveyed the mobilization order issued by the superiors. Only then did Li Ziyuan realize that he had forgotten the most important battle of the Eighth Route Army in the entire 40 years.

The Battle of the Hundred Regiments was the largest battle of the entire Eighth Route Army during the Anti-Japanese War. I have repeatedly mentioned it in the history textbooks of my previous life. How could I forget such an important thing? It's just that Li Ziyuan desperately recalled, but he didn't catch any memories of this battle in his own memory.

But the result of this meeting made Li Ziyuan very frustrated. The reason is nothing else, the backbone battalions of other counties have been assigned tasks by the division to cooperate with this operation. Of course, as a local armed force, the brother troops also received orders to mobilize the masses, contain the Japanese puppet army in their respective fronts, and cooperate with the main force to attack.

The main combat mission, it is still not the turn of these places to be armed. But compared to his Hubei County backbone guerrillas, everyone was assigned a task. When his own troops received orders, he continued to rest and recuperate, but kept a close eye on the movements of the Japanese puppet army from Changzhi to Hubei. During the campaign, it cooperated with the divisional armed forces to protect the security of the hinterland of the Taihang base area.

Basically, he was not assigned a combat mission, which made Li Ziyuan somewhat depressed. He is famous in this military history, and it is also the largest sortie launched by the Eighth Route Army during the entire Anti-Japanese War, and he can only sit on the side and stare dryly, which is difficult for Li Ziyuan to accept.

Since crossing the Yellow River to the east and entering the battle behind enemy lines in 37 years, Li Ziyuan followed the main force and participated in almost all the battles of the 129th Division. Now that there is nothing to do with him in this war, Li Ziyuan, who can be regarded as a militant, is in a good mood, so it is strange.

However, the order from the higher authorities has already been issued, and the head of the sub-division has repeatedly stressed at the meeting that all units must strictly obey the order, ensure the safety of the Taihang base area, and ensure that the main force has no worries about the future of operations. Although Li Ziyuan was itching in his heart, he didn't dare to make any rash moves.

And the reason why he really didn't dare to act without permission was in addition to the orders of his superiors. The current strength of Li Ziyuan's own troops is also one of the reasons. At least until the troops have completed their training goals, he does not believe that the combat effectiveness of his troops will be able to meet the needs. Otherwise, although the superiors ordered close monitoring, according to Li Ziyuan's 'sexual' personality, it would be strange not to participate in the one.

However, although no task was arranged, when the meeting was dismissed and the other cadres returned to their respective stations, Li Ziyuan was left behind by the political commissar of the district. At this time, in order to prepare for this operation, Wang Cheng, who had already returned from other places, talked to him in a special 'door'. However, before talking to Wang Cheng, the political commissar of the sub-district and the secretary of the prefectural party committee first talked to him.

During the conversation, the political commissar made it clear that he had seriously criticized his unorganized and undisciplined behavior of letting Liu Yan act as secretary of the county party committee without asking for instructions. When criticizing, the tone of the political commissar was so harsh that it was the first time for Li Ziyuan to see this political commissar who was called a mother-in-law by the soldiers because of his 'sex' and gentleness.

The political commissar of the sub-district, who was very angry, directly told him that the reason why the secretary of the county party committee had not been appointed according to the thinking of the sub-district and prefectural party committees. It was to prepare for a period of inspection of his performance after his arrival, and he would serve as the secretary of the county party committee, responsible for all the work of the party, government, and army in Hubei.

According to the considerations of the sub-district and prefectural party committees, the situation in Hubei was grim, the armed struggle work had not been opened for a long time, the local cadres suffered huge losses, and several secretaries of the county party committees were sacrificed one after another. The sub-district and prefectural party committees are ready to adopt the leadership method of unifying the party, government, and military. The head of the county guerrilla team concurrently serves as the secretary of the county party committee, and the military and political struggles are to be taken charge of in a unified manner.

The reason for the change of the original other counties is that the secretary of the county party committee concurrently serves as the local armed political commissar. It is because he Li Ziyuan has rich experience in armed struggle, and Chang Juan, who is now also an instructor, is only a secretary of the district party committee. Therefore, after several discussions between the sub-district and the prefectural party committee, it was decided that Li Ziyuan would serve as the secretary of the county party committee.

This idea has been submitted to the regional party committee and has been approved. Higher-level leaders and military district leaders are also preparing to use Hubei County as a pilot project. If the situation develops satisfactorily, this method will be extended in all counties in enemy-occupied areas. But he Li Ziyuan did not ask for instructions or report, and appointed the acting secretary without authorization, which made the next step of the work of the prefectural committee very passive.

A secretary of the county party committee, he Li Ziyuan, at least now, was directly appointed as a military cadre who did not have any position in the locality, who gave him so much power? Even if he is the acting secretary of the county party committee, he Li Ziyuan does not have this right. The Eighth Route Army has always been in charge of guns by the party, when will it be the turn of the gun to manage the party?
