On the way back to the regiment headquarters, Zhang Dabiao had already talked about the news that the intelligence officers had heard in the county seat.

"Regiment commander, the devils are gathering troops, the county has been driven in two groups in the past two days, there are devils and puppet troops.

Just now, I also met the cavalry correspondent sent by the brigade headquarters, and the brigade commander also asked us to prepare carefully.

The devil has done a good job of secrecy this time, and the specific situation has not yet been clarified. But looking at this meaning, eighty percent are coming at us again - going to the countryside to sweep. ”

"In other words, it will take three to five days for the devil to start acting." Li Yunlong seemed to ask Zhang Dabiao, but in fact, he was also asking himself.

Without the most core information, the ghost knows how many days it will take.

What if the mobilization of troops is a devil's convulsion?

In other words, think about it, you can't take chances.

Based on past experience, at this point, action is a matter of the past few days.

Maybe it won't be long before the intelligence officers planted in the puppet army will be able to pass on the specific time of action.

But then I'm afraid it will be too late.

Li Yunlong pondered for a while, and finally made a decision: "Zhang Dabiao, let's notify it, and let the villagers in the base area prepare to transfer." What the troops should pack, they are all packed up and ready to fight. ”

"Yes, Captain." Zhang Dabiao also thinks so.

You can't joke with human life at any time. Prepare early, even if it's a false alarm, it's not a big deal.

If you don't prepare, if it happens, you'll have to pay for it with countless sacrifices.

After walking a few steps, Zhang Dabiao suddenly remembered: "By the way, the regiment commander, the division's propaganda team is coming down." What do they do? ”

"Then inform them and let them not come. We are a combat unit, and we can't fight with a bunch of oil bottles! Li Yunlong blurted out without thinking.

In normal times, the propaganda team came, and it was lively. Bringing the masses closer together, boosting morale, and everyone is happy.

Li Yunlong is begging people to come, and he has to queue up.

But at this time, he dislikes others. I think it's a drag on the oil bottle and a burden.

Zhang Dabiao also felt that this was not very authentic, but as the head of the regiment said, it was the most right thing to let them not come.

But things did not change according to their will, he said: "I am afraid that it is too late to inform now, and if I count the day correctly, the propaganda team may be there this afternoon."

And we all talked about it before, we want to have a sorority. Isn't it good to suddenly stop doing it now? ”

Is it you kid who has an idea?

Li Yunlong glanced at him, but still said resolutely: "What's not to do, the devil's bayonet is on your chest, and what kind of bullshit fraternity is there."

You send them back to the brigade headquarters, and you say that there is going to be a war, for their safety. It's better to stay with the brigade commander. I'm afraid our new group won't be able to keep busy, and we won't be able to protect them. ”

"Yes, Captain." Zhang Dabiao agreed stupidly.

He was ready to dance the sword technique of the 29th Army all the way as a friendship performance. Now it seems that there is no play.

……

I don't know which big mouth leaked the news. Many soldiers knew that the division's propaganda team was about to arrive in the evening, and they were all blocked at the entrance of the village and waiting for people.

Li Yunlong was a little unhappy when he saw it. Since you have to wait, let's wait together.

So the companies gathered in the open space at the entrance of the village to train in a queue, and waited while practicing.

"Well, why didn't he come?" Wang Desheng searched around, but he didn't find Yuan Chenming.

If you don't come to see the excitement, are you still busy?

Yuan Chenming was indeed busy, so busy that no one else was around, and he was busy cautiously. It's been a day of tossing, and he's still dispensing black powder.

All the materials needed for gunpowder were prepared yesterday. More than ten catties of nitrate (nitric acid) were boiled and refined, dozens of grams of sulfur were bought from county pharmacies, and charcoal bought from fellow villagers.

Compared with the two knives that only know one sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal, Yuan Chenming is worthy of the name of Xiucai.

He can clearly recite the optimal ratio of black powder:

Potassium nitrate 74.64%

Sulfur 11.85%

Charcoal13.51%

But at the same time, this precision also limits him.

How could he have such an accurate scale in his hand! Even if the scale is very accurate, will the purity of the refined nitric acid also affect the ratio?

Alas, on the one hand, there are limitations in experimental equipment. On the other hand, his chemistry experiments were limited when he was studied, so he learned them half-heartedly, and he threw them away for many years, and he stayed at the junior high school level.

It's okay to come up with an idea, but it's really difficult to get started.

After a long time, another 50-gram black powder was prepared, put on straw paper, and folded into a medicine bag. and several other medicine packets.

Yuan Chenming looked up and was taken aback: "Instructor, when did you come?" ”

"Just arrived, are you done with the gunpowder?" Wang Desheng asked with concern.

I remember that before lunch, there was no black powder yet. He thought it was enough to choke today.

"Yes, it's all done. The main thing is that there is not enough sulfur, and there are too few things to buy, and there are enough other materials.

In addition, it is necessary to assemble gunpowder into a grenade tomorrow to test, and the specific effect is not yet certain. ”

Yuan Chenming stretched out his hand and pressed the cervical spine to move his neck, he hadn't felt like this for a long time, and his neck froze.

Wang Desheng looked at the messy furnishings on the table and smiled silently.

It's hard work.

This kind of delicate thing, other people can't help much, but it's easy to add to the chaos.

Black powder is known to be very dangerous. If something happens, it's not a trivial matter.

Seeing that the sun is about to set, I am afraid that it will be too late to assemble today. So even if Wang Desheng wanted to experiment immediately, he could only hold back his excitement.

"Okay, try again tomorrow, I'm sure you'll make it. Now, I'll pack up these things with you, let's go to the village entrance to have a look, the division propaganda team should be coming soon. ”

The two of them packed up the table of things and put them in the outer room of Yuan Chenming's bedroom.

"Hey, instructor, keep everything in the corner, away from the kettle. If you spill water, it's bad. ”

"Why did you put the kettle here?" When the gunpowder tide is gone, Wang Desheng is naturally clear.

But he didn't pay much attention to the kettle on the table, and he didn't expect the kettle to be placed here, shouldn't it be placed on the table in the back room to pour water?

"I have gunpowder in the back room, and I'm afraid of water!"

After Yuan Chenming's reminder, Wang Desheng smiled embarrassedly.

Putting everything in the corner, he put away the thermos bottles, oil lamps, and drinking glasses on the table and put them in the back room.

"Well, unless the rats come in with water, there won't be a problem."

Hey, Yuan Chenming suddenly felt that the instructor also had a sense of humor.

Walking out of the house, looking at the orange sunset, he exhaled a breath of white air, just like ascending to immortal.

Even today, it took him five days. After the black powder is configured, the other parts are ready, everything is ready, only the assembly experiment is needed.

When the time comes, Grand Master Li must come and see it in person. Let's see what else Li Yunlong has to say.

Note: It is illegal to illegally manufacture and possess explosives in our country.

Don't experiment with imitation.
