Regarding Qin Chuan's naming of this kind of grenade as the Jiawu No. 1 type, Lu Dezhang was a little strange. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This year is the 19th year of Guangxu, obviously it is the year of the Emperor, and the 20th year of Guangxu next year is the year of the First Sino-Japanese Dynasty. Unless the final finalization time is next year, but that's still a full year!

Could it be that this high-spirited and whimsical young man in front of him thought in his heart that it would take them another year to finally get this grenade done?

Lu Dezhang couldn't help but secretly make up his mind in his heart that he would strive to determine the parameters of this grenade in the shortest possible time, and he would not stop until he had to change this Jiawu No. 1 model to the Guisi No. 1 type.

Zhou Dajing didn't care what it was or Jiawu, he watched Lu Dezhang and Bian Changsheng throw this grenade very enjoyable, he had already itchy hands, seeing that there were still the last two left, he was a little anxious, seeing Qin Chuan take the test grenade from Bian Changsheng's hand, he also grabbed Lu Dezhang, he had to try it himself.

Lu Dezhang was very uneasy about Qin Chuan and Zhou Dajing throwing grenades with their own hands, and personally explained the essentials of this grenade throwing to the two of them in detail. In particular, the two were reminded that the grenade must be thrown 30 meters away, and the two of them should choose to throw the grenade into a wooden circle farther away.

Seeing that Zhou Dajing was a little absent-mindedly perfunctory in his promise, Lu Dezhang pulled down his face.

"Chief of Staff Zhou, although the grenades that were thrown just now had no shrapnel flying when they exploded, you still have to be careful."

"Because although the charge of our grenade has been fixed, our grenade is now made of two materials, the one in the commander's hand is painted with a red circle, which is stamped with imported thin steel plates, and the one in your hand is made of cast iron produced by our Daqing Dynasty. It's good to say that the thin steel plate is a bit troublesome for you to cast iron. The quality of our cast iron is unstable, the carbon content varies greatly, and the size of the fragments at the time of explosion is difficult to control, and if there are larger fragments, they are likely to fly up to 30 meters away. ”

Lu Dezhang's words, Qin Chuan agreed, but he knew that the self-made grenades made by the Eighth Route Army during the Anti-Japanese War decades later were often broken in half after the grenade exploded because of the unstable quality of the cast pig iron used.

Seeing that Lu Dezhang recognized the truth, Zhou Dajing was busy nodding his head in agreement.

According to Lu Dezhang's instructions, Zhou Dajing unscrewed the small iron cover behind the long wooden handle, carefully pulled out the small iron ring from the inside, and with his left hand, he vigorously tore off the fire rope attached to the small iron ring, and threw the grenade out with his right arm. Because it was still too fast, although the grenade flew far away, more than 50 meters, the accuracy was much worse, and the landing point was still four or five meters away from the nearest wooden circle.

With a "boom", the grenade thrown out by Zhou Dajing exploded, and several planks on one side of the wooden circle near the explosion point were blown up, and there were three planks on the other side that only shook a few times and did not fall.

Qin Chuan watched Zhou Dajing finish throwing the grenade, and raised the grenade in his hand that had been weighing for a long time.

"Dajing, our grenade has a delay explosion time of three or four seconds, you don't have to panic when throwing the bomb, if you want to throw it far and accurately, if possible, the arm should be as round as possible, that's it."

Qin Chuan said as he pulled the fuse, the green smoke grenade stopped in his hand for a moment, and then he struggled with his right arm, and after the grenade spun a few times in the rapid flight in the air, it landed accurately seventy meters away and exploded in a wooden circle, and the grenades in a circle were suddenly blown apart and shattered.

The grenade rang off, and Bian Changsheng, Cha Lianbiao, and Yang Deming hurriedly ran over to collect the wooden planks. Then Cha Lianbiao took out a small notebook and marked the explosion points one by one, preparing to analyze the explosion parameters tomorrow.

Lu Dezhang asked Qin Chuan strangely: "Commander, didn't you say that there is no grenade of ours in the world now, but looking at the posture of your throwing, it seems that you have already cooked it many times, could it be that you have made this grenade yourself before." ”

Qin Chuan smiled secretly in his heart and said: "I haven't made this grenade myself, but I have thrown it many times." ”

When Qin Chuan joined the army, although the country had begun to produce and install grenades, many troops were also equipped with a large number of wooden grenades.

Before Qin Chuan could figure out how to answer Lu Dezhang's question, Zhou Dajing, who was still unsatisfied, looked at the two boxes on the ground that had not been opened, and pointed to the two boxes.

"Director Lu, don't be stingy, take out a few more grenades and have a good time."

Seeing that Zhou Dajing noticed the two boxes, Lu Dezhang glanced at Qin Chuan and said with a smile: "Chief of Staff Zhou, do you think our grenade can kill people?" ”

Lu Dezhang deliberately said that the bombing was smashed, and joked with Zhou Dajing.

Zhou Dajing said with a smile: "Yes, it can kill people." Okay, Director Lu, you quickly take out all the grenades in your box, I won't put any firecrackers on Chinese New Year's Eve today, just take this grenade to have a good time. ”

Zhou Dajing said that he was about to open the two wooden boxes, but was stopped by Lu Dezhang.

"Chief of Staff Zhou, this is not a grenade, you should set off firecrackers."

"Not a grenade?"

Zhou Dajing pushed Lu Dezhang away in disbelief: "If it's not a grenade, what else would it be, could it be that you can still come up with any new weapons?" ”

Lu Dezhang said with a smug smile: "I really let you say it, this is a new weapon, and it is a more powerful thing than a grenade." It's just that I didn't make up such a powerful thing, but it was made up according to the drawings drawn by our commander himself. ”

"What! And new weapons? ”

Zhou Dajing has seen the power of this grenade explosion, and if he really wants to use it on the battlefield suddenly, then he has to do it!

Zhou Dajing even believed that in a war, as long as the grenade kept being thrown, it would be like hundreds of cannonballs, and no matter what army it was, it would be blown up. Such a powerful thing came from the hands of his young boss, which had already shocked Zhou Dajing, could it be that his extremely smart boss really had a more powerful new weapon.

Lu Dezhang's words frightened Zhou Dajing very much, thinking that Lu Dezhang was joking, but looking at Qin Chuan on the side, seeing that Qin Chuan was just smiling and silent, Zhou Dajing hesitated for a moment or bent down to open the box.

Zhou Dajing hurriedly looked into the box, but he couldn't help but be disappointed at this look.

It turned out that there was only a black steel pipe with a diameter of more than 50 millimeters in the box, which was open at one end and sealed at the other end, and a short thin steel column was welded at this end of the seal, and under the steel column was an almost square steel plate. If you look closely, the steel column below is also a hollow steel pipe, with a long groove near the upper part, revealing a trigger-like switch, and a small hole next to it also reveals a small finger-thick cowhide belt.

Zhou Dajing checked the somewhat strange steel pipe in the box with his hand, which was light and fluttering, and it was estimated that it weighed only five or six catties.

Zhou Dajing was puzzled for a long time, and then opened another box, and then his eyes couldn't help but light up.

This box contained more than a dozen cylindrical shells of 50 mm thickness, but this little thing had a small pointed end, and it was not the same thickness from top to bottom, and it became thinner and thinner as it went down, and it also had a tail at the end, which seemed to weigh about a pound.

Zhou Dajing straightened up and said disdainfully: "I said Director Lu, you said that this is a new weapon designed by our commander, aren't you ruining our commander?" Our commander designed such a thing? ”

Zhou Dajing pursed his lips and continued: "Just such a small piece of iron pipe is also called a new weapon? A few pounds of gadgets, I don't take advantage of beating people, and it is estimated that I can't exchange them for a cart of cabbage. These are a few shells, they should be shells, but this is much smaller than the shells of our 75mm German mountain guns, and they must not be as good as the mountain guns. ”

Lu Dezhang couldn't help but smile proudly when he heard Zhou Dajing say that his baby couldn't be exchanged for a cart of cabbage.

"Hey, you're really right, I make this iron pipe, it is estimated that it will cost a dozen Suzaku Oceans at most, if you make more, the cost of a single is estimated to be a few carts of cabbage."

Listening to what Zhou Dajing and Lu Dezhang said interestingly, Qin Chuan said with a smile: "You are all right, our thing that is more useful than a grenade is a new weapon at the price of cabbage." (To be continued.) )
