Soon, Meng Qingshan came to the arsenal in the fortress with the generals of the Anti-Japanese Federation, most of the people in the original arsenal came to the headquarters, leaving only a master with a few apprentices to continue to stay in the Luobei Arsenal, which is also Meng Qingshan for insurance, because two years ago the Anti-Japanese Federation was strong and built an arsenal in the Xiajiang area, and the arsenal was led by more than a dozen workers from the original Shenyang Arsenal, and then defected to the Anti-Japanese Federation under the leadership of a party member worker, and formed the arsenal of the 11th Army together with some cadres and soldiers drawn out by the Anti-Japanese Federation.

When the Japanese army knew about it, in order to destroy the only arsenal among the various departments of the Anti-Japanese Federation, the Japanese puppet army mobilized more than 3,000 troops to carry out a sweep of the Qixingzi area at the junction of Huanan and Jixian, where the arsenal was located, so that the arsenal of the Anti-Japanese Federation was destroyed by the Japanese army.

At the meeting, I heard that Meng Qingshan had actually built an arsenal and it was very large, and it could produce weapons independently, and the generals of the Anti-Japanese Federation, including Commander-in-Chief Zhou, Yang Jingyu, Zhao Shangzhi, and Li Zhaolin, were very interested and pulled Meng Qingshan to visit the arsenal, and Meng Qingshan had no choice but to take them to visit the anti-Japanese alliance's arsenal.

The arsenal was placed in a very secluded valley at the back of the fortress, surrounded by mountains, with steep cliffs and caves, and only a narrow mountain road from the outside world, which was impassable even by horse-drawn carriages. And there are primeval dense forests everywhere, with dense vegetation and excellent concealment, this excellent place was told to Meng Qingshan by the old hunter, Meng Qingshan took a look at where he went, and immediately decided that this was the best address for the new arsenal. All the machinery and equipment were dismantled and secretly transported there with semi-finished products and raw materials in the fortress. In order to meet the power needs of the arsenal, Meng Qingshan even transported two large generators and three hand-cranked generators from the fortress there. Even three-quarters of the mountain of seized gasoline was transported, and it took four or five days to transport the machines alone.

Sun Qian and several technicians were waiting at the mountain pass. Obviously, these people haven't slept well in the past few days, and each of them has a pair of dark eye circles. "Report to the commander, the rocket launcher developed by the arsenal has been produced and is preparing for test launch."

Looking at Sun Qian with black circles in front of him, Meng Qingshan did not speak, he knew that he must have been excited to see the complete machinery and equipment these days, just like a soldier who had been holding a big knife changed a rifle and saluted a solemn military salute to several people. "Comrades. You are all good, by the way, Director Sun, let me introduce you to this is the commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army Zhou who is famous in the northeast, these two are the two commanders of North Zhao and Nanyang, and. ”

"Commander-in-Chief Zhou. Hello Commander Yang, Commander Zhao. Sun Qian excitedly saluted them and said.

"Comrade Sun heard that the rocket launcher developed by the arsenal has been developed, so let's open our eyes." Commander-in-Chief Zhou said with a smile.

"Okay, okay." After speaking, under the leadership of Sun Qian, Meng Qingshan and the others entered the arsenal, and saw a scarecrow erected in front of the open space from a distance, and 100 meters away from him, there was an arsenal personnel carrying an empty big pipe on his shoulder, facing the scarecrow.

Meng Qingshan walked up to Sun Qian and asked in a low voice, "Old Sun, has the bazooka really been developed?" ”

"Commander. You can rest assured that it was successfully developed in the original base area, but due to the lack of materials at that time, it was scrapped after a few rounds, and there are such advanced machines and equipment here, and now the experiment is a modified version of the rocket artillery. ”

After hearing Sun Qian's vote, Meng Qingshan turned to the generals of the Anti-Japanese Federation behind him and said, "Comrades. Today I'm going to show you a good show. For the safety of the arsenal, Meng Qingshan mobilized a company to protect the safety of the arsenal, and looking at the heavily guarded arsenal, Commander-in-Chief Zhou and the others were even more anxious and puzzled. Seeing the puzzled eyes of the crowd. Meng Qingshan, Director Sun and others laughed and did not say anything.

"Lao Zhao, what do you mean by bazooka?"

"I don't know where to go."

"Didn't you go to the USSR to study?"

"I've only been reading for a few days, so if you want to ask, go and ask Lao Zhou. He went to military school and was better than both of us. ”

"Old Zhou, do you know what a bazooka is?"

"Lao Yang, you have to ask the person concerned about this."

Yang Jingyu asked Meng Qingshan: "Comrade Qingshan, tell you about the bazooka?" ”

Meng Qingshan looked at everyone looking at him with puzzled expressions, smiled and said, "Bazooka is a portable anti-tank weapon that fires rockets. It mainly fires rocket-piercing shells, but can also fire rocket-propelled grenades or other rockets, which are used to strike tanks, armored vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel transporters, military equipment and fortifications at close range, and can also be used to kill and damage living targets or complete other tactical tasks. Of course, it is also due to its small quality, simple structure, low price and easy to use, so it can be developed by our current level. ”

"If my obedient guy really develops it, Lao Tzu will no longer be afraid of the little devil's tank, I'll fight one when I come, and I'll fight one when I'm two."

"Comrade Qingshan, the bazooka you said can't be the big pipe with two empty ends, right?"

Coming to the venue, Meng Qingshan led everyone into the temporary bunker, picked up the binoculars, and saw several soldiers in the distance checking the stability of the scarecrow and the nature of the shells. "Report to the chiefs, the rocket artillery is ready for test firing!" A technician ran to the bunker and said.

"Okay, test shot." Meng Qingshan gave the order, his eyes kept staring at the experimental soldiers in the distance.

I saw that the soldier put the cannonball into the empty tube, aimed at the scarecrow in front of him and slowly pressed the trigger, and at the same time, Meng Qingshan's heart was also raised, and the whole bunker was silent......

The sound of "whoosh" reached the ears of everyone, and they saw a puff of white smoke coming out of the empty pipe on the shoulders of the soldiers in front. "Boom" Another powerful explosion reached everyone's ears, and the soil next to the bunker was shaken and fell one after another.

"Success, success, the arsenal personnel behind Meng Qingshan swept away the tiredness just now, roared loudly, and ran towards the explosion point one by one.

"Lao Meng, this is..."Zhou Baozhong was stunned and looked at the scarecrow in front of him who was blown to pieces by the bazooka, only to see that a half-meter-deep crater was blown out of the center of the explosion, and the grass with a radius of five meters next to it was almost turned over, and it was black everywhere.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Meng Qingshan nodded with satisfaction, so that he didn't have to be afraid of the little devil's iron tank. "Commander-in-chief, Commander Yang, Commander Zhao, this is a bazooka just developed by the arsenal, how is it, the effect is good, right?" Meng Qingshan said with a smile.

"I'm a dear mother! It's not bad, if a shell hits the devil's tank, a shell can knock him down, it's just... It's too powerful. ”

"Director Sun, tell everyone about this bazooka!" Meng Qingshan found Sun Qian, who was measuring data, and said.

"We all developed it after the drawings given by the commander, it fires 150 mm super-caliber armor-piercing shells, and relies on the gunpowder gas pressure formed by the combustion of the firing charge in the steel launcher opened at both ends to promote the movement of the projectile body, and uses the reaction force generated by the gunpowder gas ejected from the back of the barrel to eliminate the recoil of the canister. These two early bazookas, both equipped with mechanical or optical sights, have an effective range of 100~250 meters, and his shells can use mortar shells, but there is a drawback, that is, the recoil is too large, and ordinary people can hit it five or six times, but if they hit too much, their arms will be numb. Sun Qian said with a hint of regret.

"Enough, so much is enough, Director Sun, I really didn't expect that we would have a scientist like you in the Anti-Japanese Federation, how is the current output?" Commander-in-Chief Zhou asked excitedly.

"Commander-in-chief, as long as there are raw materials, you can produce as much as you want? Based on the current storage capacity of the warehouse, we can produce 1,000 bazookas. Sun Qian thought for a while and said.

"Commander-in-chief, why don't you give the bazooka a name!"

"Why don't you call it a KL-39 bazooka?" The commander-in-chief thought for a moment and said.

"Okay."

Then Meng Qingshan and others took shifts to experience it personally, not to mention that it was really exciting, but the recoil was too great and the shoulders hurt, but Yang Jingyu was a tall horse and a big man, and he was a famous general who dragged 600 people to death. (To be continued......)
