After a week, Meng Qingshan had already dealt with all the base areas and handed over all the matters related to the construction of the base areas to Huang Yuqing, the county magistrate, and his eyes were fixed on the arsenal in Houshan, and the next day, Meng Qingshan came to Houshan with more than 300 arsenal workers personally selected by Sun Qian, the factory director. Entering the heavily guarded cave, the first thing that catches you is the renovated arsenal site, the already flat cave has become even smoother, all the equipment and diesel seized from the coal mine and the town are piled up in the corner next to the site, and in one cave there is still a full pile of materials.

Because the Japanese army blockade of gunpowder was very strict, in addition to the captured black powder and explosives, Meng Qingshan set up several toilets in various villages and military camps in the base area, and collected materials for black powder. Now the Japanese troops in the county town can only hope that the base camp can notice as soon as possible, and they sent reinforcements to save them from fire and water, and the troops of Meng Qingshan were stationed around the county town to cooperate with the local militia to firmly block the county seat.

Seeing the equipment, those scholars who Meng Qingshan had descended from the mine and who had been invited by the martial arts team and underground party personnel in the three eastern provinces immediately had their eyes shining..."Director Sun, the affairs of the arsenal will be handed over to you." The task of the arsenal for these two days was to try to assemble as much as possible with the existing equipment into a machine tool that could be used to reload bullets. Shells, but also mines. There is a mine inside that has a large amount of black powder that we have collected during this time, but the gunpowder used in bullets and shells needs to be studied by a few of you chemical personnel, and you can mention any raw materials you need. We will be satisfied. Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Meng Qingshan said.

In order to build the arsenal, Meng Qingshan deliberately let the people who infiltrated the various cities of the Japanese army risk being exposed, and used persuasion, coercion and other means to persuade and coerce those scholars and professors to quietly escort them from the cities occupied by the Japanese army to the base area. There are also many patriots.

But soon the problem came, just someone to collect no tools is absolutely not enough, I did not expect that after a clean-up operation of the Anti-Japanese Union, not only all the Japanese troops in the base area were knocked out, but also a large amount of equipment obtained, for this reason, Meng Qingshan let the troops attack the first is the Japanese army's various gold mines, forest farms, coal wells to obtain fuel, diesel and other things needed for the arsenal, enough to put together several machine tools, so that these scholars and professors are very happy to know that many of them were originally personnel of the Shenyang Arsenal, because of the war launched by the Japanese army to occupy Shenyang. Most of the personnel of the arsenal lived incognito, preferring to starve to death rather than make guns and cannons for the little devils to fight the Chinese.

"Commander, don't worry, I know all this equipment. I am confident that I can use these machines to assemble a few machine beds and some other spare equipment. Sun Qian swore and promised.

With that, he ordered his soldiers to start carrying the equipment, while the scholars were on the side to give technical guidance. Looking at the workers in full swing, Meng Qingshan smiled. The problem of the arsenal that had been plaguing him was now finally solved, and he decided to divide the arsenal into several workshops. One is a reloading ammunition workshop, the other is a shell production and mine workshop, and the other is a gun making workshop, so that the division of labor is clear and the work is completed more efficiently.

Even if the arsenal can produce artillery shells, it can only produce mortar shells, and the artillery shells of infantry artillery cannot be produced by the arsenal, and the remaining infantry shells in the warehouse are less than 100 rounds, which is only enough for the needs of a battle, Meng Qingshan also wants to strive for a big sweep of Sasaki to one after the elimination of the troops in the coming year, so that the Japanese army can be encircled and suppressed in the coming year, for this purpose heavy firepower is needed, what is the current arsenal can produce, and the power is not bad, suitable for mountain use, Gradually, Meng Qingshan thought of a powerful and simple cannon, that is, flying thunder.

The Flying Mine is a homemade weapon created by the PLA a few years later. He has an even more well-known name, the Cannon of No Conscience. During the War of Liberation, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) had very few artillery, and when its weapons and equipment were inferior, the officers and men created a formidable weapon -- an explosive pack launcher that used gasoline barrels as barrels. The main body of this weapon, also known as the explosive projectile, is an empty gasoline barrel, which is filled with propellant, and then the explosive package bundled into a disc shape is placed in it, and then the propellant is ignited, and the 10-kilogram explosive package can be ejected to a distance of 150-200 meters.

For this reason, Meng Qingshan also deliberately checked his information and principle on the computer, Meng Qingshan thought with great expectations, came to a slightly quiet place, according to the memory of his later life, began to draw a sample of the thunder, when he finished painting, he was a little dissatisfied, he knew that he would travel through how to study the atomic bomb at the beginning, and get a few for the little devils to play with, so that they would not be so blind to chase me everywhere, and simply use me as a scarecrow in the novice village in the online game in the future, and brush to the tenth level and walk out of the main city of the novice village.

The Kwantung Army of the little devil also organized a large number of recruits to take the anti-United Nations training, and when they didn't wipe enough, they were sent to the battlefield in the Guannai to continue to kill and upgrade, this time Lao Tzu also let you often resist the power of the joint artillery, yes, Meng Qingshan shamelessly named this cannon Type 39 Anti-United Nations Artillery, also known as Type 39 mortar, to commemorate his coming to this place on March 9, 1939.

Director Sun really did not say big words, after several hours of hard work, two machine tools were placed next to the site, and on the other side folded a few small equipment, all equipment was driven by two high-power generators, the other two as a backup, Meng Qingshan looked at the several equipment in front of him in disbelief, really did not expect to rely on simple tools to assemble into two machine tools, our Chinese's heads are no better than the little devils.

"Director Sun, so fast, you really have it. Huzi, tell the cooking class, just say what I said, improve the food in the arsenal at noon today, kill a fat pig, and celebrate. Meng Qingshan said excitedly.

"Commander, this equipment in the middle, that is, the machine tool, can be used for ......" Sun Qian next to him introduced the efficacy of several pieces of equipment to Meng Qingshan one by one, through understanding, these equipment can not only reload bullets, mines, if possible, even produce bullets, grenades......

"Director Sun, look at this drawing, let's make it according to whether the equipment of our arsenal can be made."

took Meng Qingshan's drawing drawings and looked at them seriously with his partner. "Type 39 anti-joint artillery! Commander, is this a cannon? Sun Qian looked at the three words on the drawing and the sketch below and asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, Director Sun, this can also be said to be a cannon, it can also be said to be a dropper, and the mortar of the little devil is the same principle, mortar security shells, we can put anything in the Type 39 type, you can convert the cartridge into a homemade flamethrower, use the projectile to throw dozens of kilograms of stones, and fly cluster grenades (known as "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers") and so on.

"But Commander, the drawings you drew are not comprehensive? Can you explain it to me a little bit more? Sun Qian looked at Meng Qingshan with a question mark on his face.

"Huh! (That's all I see online, can I tell you I don't understand it either?) Director Sun should know that some of the personnel of the arsenal are very dissatisfied with my appointment of you as the director of the arsenal, should you do something for them to see, so I will draw half of the painting and the rest will not need me to say, Director Sun, everyone has a good rest at noon today, have a good meal, and all the staff of the arsenal will have a holiday in the afternoon. Meng Qingshan patted Sun Qian on the shoulder and walked out with an expression that I believe in you.

Sun Qian was stunned for a moment with the drawing, and felt that he didn't just ask the commander how to do this thrower, it seems that the commander must be testing my ability, yes, it must be so, I will definitely be able to make this Type 39 anti-joint artillery, Sun Qian said cheeringly: "Sun Qian, you can do it."
