The preparation of smokeless gunpowder requires concentrated sulfuric acid, concentrated nitric acid and absorbent cotton wool, and there is already a large-scale manufacturing process of concentrated sulfuric acid, as for the absorbent cotton wool, in fact, the manufacturing method is very simple, that is, pick out the impurities in the cotton wool, clean it with water and put it in a pot, boil it for ten minutes with a simmer with two to five percent concentration of sodium hydroxide solution, and then rub it for ten minutes while washing after cooling, and dry it.

Although the large-scale production method of nitric acid is still being studied, the principles and various synthesis methods have been taught to Wang Feng to the Ordnance Bureau.

The application range of nitric acid is wider than that of sulfuric acid, in addition to military and civilian, it is also the basic raw material for the manufacture of chemical fertilizers, a year ago Wang Feng was eager to introduce nitric acid production line, a big factor is to increase food production, but he ran into a wall everywhere, forcing him to invest a lot of money in independent research and development.

He believed that with the increasingly solid chemical level of the Ordnance Bureau, it was not far from the large-scale production of nitric acid, and if it could be developed independently, why should it spend a lot of money to import it from foreign countries?

For some time to come, the fighting continued to cement, and street fighting continued all the time, giving the illusion of a seemingly never-ending end.

The Indian soldiers are very tenacious, although their casualties are greater than those of the Democratic Alliance, which fundamentally shatters Wang Feng's view that the Indians are not good at fighting, or it can be understood that the Indians themselves are not at a high level of technology and tactics, they are just driven by the British, a group of war people who have no soul and independent consciousness.

They don't feel bored, they don't feel bored, and they don't need spiritual support, all they need is the belief of obedience and obedience, early death and early reincarnation!

At present, Baoshan City is roughly divided into three areas, and the front part, that is, the side by the river, is within the superimposed range of British naval guns and land cannons. The firepower was so fierce that the NLD forces had given up on their own initiative, and all of them were occupied by Indian soldiers.

The central part is where the ship's artillery can't hit it. It was supported by the fire of British land cannons, but this was the barrier of the command of the NLD forces. There is no way to give up, so the two armies are intertwined, with the main goal of destroying the living forces of the other side, and tug-of-war often occurs.

In the rear was the base of the NLD forces, out of range of the land cannons, and the Indian soldiers had attacked countless times, but without artillery support, they were either repulsed. Either the whole army is wiped out.

Mortars and mortar shells began to be formally modified on the fourth day after that day, but unfortunately, this year's rainy season came a little earlier, one after another, sometimes for two or three days, because the propellant was not sealed in the body of the bomb, but hung on the outside, which made the mortar temporarily unusable.

In fact, the rainy season does not rain every day, but there are intermittent sunny days in between. However, since it could not be used most of the time due to the restrictions of the environment, Wang Feng simply sealed the mortar and suddenly took it out when needed. With mortars as the main body, a decisive battle will be fought, and he is currently waiting, waiting for news from Chen Village.

By 20 June 20 later, that is, on 21 June, all the light artillery that could be modified in the army had been converted into mortars, a total of 125 pieces, and nearly 10,000 shells had been made. However, the fighting did not stop because of the rain. There are still sporadic hand-to-hand battles in the city.

Standing in the rain, Wang Feng squinted slightly. Standing on the mixed yuan pile, since he went north to rescue Su Sanniang's department at the beginning of the year, Wang Feng has resumed systematic practice, even if he returned to Suzhou, he has not stopped, because the government and the army are almost on the right track, and there is no need to operate it hand-in-hand, and there is relatively more free time.

After nearly half a year of hard training, his strength has approached the middle stage of dark energy, which can be regarded as a rapid progress, at this time, he forgot about the British fleet moored on the river, and also turned a deaf ear to the sporadic shouts of killing caught in the wind and rain, and entered the realm of forgetting things and me, the meridians in the body are presented in the brain as if they were real things, the sound of blood flow is like lead and mercury, heavy and powerful, and the bones around the body are even more crackling and violent, and naturally, the thunder sound is shaken!

After about an hour, the sky was already dark, Wang Feng gradually finished his work, but when he opened his eyes, he was stunned, and Zhou Xiuying was standing two meters in front of him!

Out of instinct, Wang Feng flashed back violently, and said dissatisfiedly: "I said big sister, don't be scary, if I go crazy and become paralyzed, then I will point all my and urine work for the rest of my life at you!" ”

While laughing, Wang Feng was secretly awe-inspiring, although Zhou Xiuying had no malicious intentions, but he was unconsciously bullied into a two-meter dangerous range and he was not half aware of it, which can only show that Zhou Xiuying's kung fu has left him far behind, and maybe he has touched the threshold of turning strength.

"Oh?" Zhou Xiuying smiled and said: "You have made rapid progress, you can actually shake out the thunder sound, it seems that you have not been lazy during this time, do you want to try a few tricks?" As long as you break my big knife, I'll sleep with you tonight, you haven't touched a woman for a long time, right? Aren't you interested in my abs? Come, beat me, and I'll give you my body! ”

"This" Wang Feng couldn't help licking his lips, because the war was extremely cruel, there would be a large number of wounded every day, Yang Shui was very busy, Wang Feng was embarrassed to pull her away and talk about love, but at this time, she was teased by Zhou Xiuying

Wang Feng looked at Zhou Xiuying, Zhou Xiuying was wearing a military uniform, soaking wet, through the gap in the neckline, you could glimpse a small piece of white skin inside, and her hair was tightly attached to her cheeks, which not only added a bit of beauty, but also constituted an indescribable temptation, at this time, she was holding her chest with both hands, and a touch of burning flashed in her beautiful eyes!

"Alas~~" Wang Feng sighed secretly, although the beauty is good, but there is no blessing to suffer, with the current gap between the two people, let alone Daguan Dao, I am afraid that empty-handed may not be Zhou Xiuying's opponent, if you want to conquer this woman, you can't have any hope before turning into strength.

The aroused lust was instantly extinguished in the wind and rain, and Wang Feng said helplessly: "Big sister, you didn't come from Suzhou just to sleep with me, what is it that costs you?" Is there good news for me? ”

"No cowardice!" Zhou Xiuying smiled disdainfully, stretched out two fingers and shook them head-on: "Two news, first of all, the cattle you want have been delivered, and the soldiers are receiving, six hundred cattle, four hundred buffaloes, a total of one thousand, although the people are enthusiastic to provide it, and there are even many people who have expressed their free donations, but the scalpers can only collect so much, I don't know if you are enough." ”

The whole Su Song is too often, the richest place in the Qing Dynasty, there are only so many cattle, it sounds incredible, but in fact it is very easy to understand, the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, naturally based on paddy fields, the general farmers, if they have the conditions to raise cattle, will only raise buffaloes, buffaloes have great strength, are not afraid of water, can work in the paddy fields, and the cattle have little strength, work inefficiently, and hate water, can only work in the dry fields or used to pull carts, so in the Jiangnan area, cattle are rich households, their purpose is not to pull carts to work, Rather, they raised and killed and ate meat.

Of course, Su Song's too many cattle cannot only be 600, and the people are willing to take out only bulls, cows and calves will not take out.

Wang Feng nodded and said, "It should be enough, but what about the second thing?" ”

Zhou Xiuying said again: "The evening before yesterday, Captain Ding and Master Chen escorted the old and young Chen back to Suzhou."

Zhou Xiuying roughly said that because the people of Jiangxi and Hunan were fierce and the situation was complicated, and the 600 soldiers brought out by Chen Alin were all Fujianese, they naturally would not give up the easy and difficult, and after leaving the Wuyi Mountains, they went all the way north, passing through Meizhou, Longyan, and Sanming, and entered Zhejiang from Lishui, and then turned slightly to the west, passed through Jinhua and Huzhou, entered Jiangsu from the west side of Taihu Lake, and returned to Suzhou by boat in Wuxi County.

There were also battles on the way, but the main force of the Qing army in Zhejiang, Fujian and Fujian gathered in Jiaxing, and the small Qing army was not at all the opponent of this thousand Democratic Alliance troops.

At the end, Zhou Xiuying added: "Xuanjiao knows that you want to surrender Chen Village, but I am afraid that there is no basis and it is said that it is not clear, so I asked people to take pictures of Chen Village overnight, about 100 people took a group photo, it is quite clear, it seems that science and technology are indeed a good thing, if it is left in the past, please ask the painter to paint one by one can exhaust people to death."

I left dozens of photos in the back room, I didn't take them when it rained, Boss Chen's wife Xian Yunying also came to Baoshan, probably an hour later with the soldiers who escorted the herd, and I also brought you two people from Chen Village, after all, you kidnapped people and sent our people to talk, and you don't know Chen Village's intentions, maybe you will kill them without opening your mouth, so Xuanjiao means that the people from Chen Village will take the photos to find Boss Chen, if he is willing to surrender, they will come and talk to you. ”

I have to say that Hong Xuanjiao was very thoughtful, and Wang Feng immediately said with joy: "Let's go, let's go take a look at the photos!" As he spoke, he took Zhou Xiuying's wet hand and hurriedly walked back.

Maybe Ping didn't feed a little tofu like Wang Feng to eat, but Zhou Xiuying was calm and didn't struggle.

Soon, the two came to a hut, where there were two young men with dark and thin faces, both with a little dismay, and a tarpaulin bag resting on the table.

Wang Feng opened the bag first, and there was indeed a stack of photos inside, Zhou Xiuying's mouth was clear, but in his eyes it was actually vague, after all, photography technology was just starting at that time, but the face could be seen clearly.

After looking at about a dozen photos, Wang Feng put down the photos, looked at the two young men, sighed slightly, and said: "You all understand the cause and effect, I won't say more, I also know that you are very unconvinced, and even full of resentment, but no matter what you think, let it go for me first, this is about the end of your Chen Village!"

I hope that you will sneak into the river overnight, find Boss Chen's boat, explain the situation clearly, and let Boss Chen send someone who can speak to me to come and talk to me. ”

"Got it!" One of them reluctantly answered.

Wang Feng nodded and said, "I'll have someone bring food in immediately, and after eating, you can act quickly!" With that, he picked up Zhou Xiuying and walked out. (To be continued)
