After a few jokes, Li Yunlong called Yuan Chenming and wanted to talk to him alone.

The brigade commander might come when, and the two of them were at the gate outside the courtyard.

Li Yunlong didn't want to go around the bend, so he said straight to the point: "I heard the brigade commander say, you want to leave in two days?" ”

"Yes, it's only a matter of a day or two if this is done."

Yuan Chenming was afraid that Li Yunlong would keep him, and added: "The brigade commander also agreed. ”

"I know ......"

Although he had already heard it from the brigade commander, when Yuan Chenming said it himself, Li Yunlong's heart still chuckled, and it was quite unpleasant.

remembers the first time they met, he still felt that Yuan Chenming was a white-faced scholar, or the kind of slippery person who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

Now, he is still a white-faced scholar, and he still goes down the mountain with all his heart and goes to the county seat to live a flowery life.

However, it feels very different.

The loss of talent is the loss of the country.

Li Yunlong is not the kind of mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and he will not persuade him to stay, "Okay, since you insist on this, I won't say anything."

The doors of the new group are always open for you, and when you want to come back, I invite you to drink. ”

Yuan Chenming smiled: "Okay, let's make a decision." Maybe one day I'll be unsatisfactory in the city, and I'll really have to come to the head of the regiment. ”

The words were smoother, and the back road was preserved. It's really a bit like the 80s, leaving work without pay and going to sea.

Of course, he thinks that he still has some ability and can make a fortune.

Li Yunlong listened to his words, his heart was a little more relaxed, and there was a slight smile on his face. He didn't just come to ask Yuan Chenming about his plans this time, there was another thing.

A piece of card-sized paper and a stack of colorful banknotes were stuffed into Yuan Chenming's hand.

"Wang Desheng knows that you have made up your mind to go to the county seat. He asked me to give it to you. ”

The white cardstock has the words "Good Citizen Certificate" written on the top, and when you open it, you can see Yuan Chenming's personal information, hometown address, and a black-and-white one-inch photo of him.

He also remembered that on the third day of the new regiment, two local comrades came to him and took a picture of him.

is really a good citizen certificate, Yuan Chenming has never seen it. However, the underground party of the Eighth Route Army is so lurking and playing, it must be very proficient in this way.

With this certificate of good citizenship in his hand, he is very down-to-earth.

Li Yunlong explained to him: "Your card is made by us, and it is no problem to pass the general city defense inspection and the like."

But because it is not filed with the Japanese, if it is really a detailed check, it will definitely not be able to withstand it.

But you don't have to worry too much, if you do get to that point, just run away. Don't hesitate. ”

If you hesitate, you will give it in vain, and endure the eighteen kinds of torture of the Japanese?

After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Chenming shuddered unconsciously. You can't be reasonable with the Japanese.

The guarantee of personal safety depends on whether you are clever enough, and it is really a bit latent.

put away the certificate of good citizenship, and the thick stack of banknotes in his hand, Yuan Chenming also recognized it-prepare the ticket.

The reserve note is the banknote issued by the China United Reserve Bank supported by the Japanese puppet during the Anti-Japanese War, also known as the joint charter note.

In the county town controlled by the Japanese army, this was legal tender, and it was all bought and sold.

Yuan Chenming remembered that when he first came, he was blackmailed by the puppet army, and happened to run into Company Commander Lu and they were fighting the artillery tower. took back the watch that was extorted, and took a few preparation tickets with him.

There are one yuan, five yuan, and ten yuan, which add up to dozens of yuan.

When he inquired later, the money was enough for the next restaurant. At this time, if it takes another half a year and a year, then maybe it will be.

Maybe it's enough to buy a few nests.

When fiat money first came out, a hundred yuan could buy a cow, but now? It's not enough to buy a cow's hooves.

Currency depreciation is simply too common, and people in the Republic of China are used to it, hard currency or gold ocean.

Yuan Chenming flipped over the stack of banknotes in his hand, a small half of them were 100 yuan, and the rest were 10 yuan and 5 yuan.

Li Yunlong said with a smile: "There was an ambush battle in Dakouling, you may also know it. These are all from devils. You will also have to spend money when you go to the county seat, so it's just right to take these. ”

"Okay, thank you, head of the group, and help me say hello to the instructor, I remember this friendship." Yuan Chenming's tone was full of gratitude, and he said sincerely.

Those who don't know still think that these preparation tickets are useless.

But how can it not be used?

The border base area can't be spent, but the underground party lurking in the county can't use it?

Or, you can directly take some supplies from the city and cash them out.

He doesn't feel like these things come for nothing like waste paper, and he doesn't take them for granted.

The seizures were all made with blood, not by strong winds. It's heavy in your hand.

"It's like an angel investment of the Eighth Route Army, and if you make money in the future, you will pay dividends!" Yuan Chenming thought so in his heart.

"Brigade commander, commissar, you're all here." Xing Zhiguo greeted him as he spoke, with a little smile on his face: "The grenade that Da Xiucai designed for us has been ready, just wait for the two of you to come and start the experiment." ”

The brigade commander took the grenade he handed over, looked up and down, and asked, "What about the others?" ”

"Here we are!" Yuan Chenming put away his things and greeted him: "Brigade commander, political commissar, the grenade is ready, and the effect test is about to be carried out, shall we start it now?" ”

The staff officers who came out of the courtyard also greeted the brigade commander and political commissar one after another.

The brigade commander glanced at it and said with a smile: "It turns out that they are all waiting for us, okay, then don't talk nonsense, let's find a place and see the effect directly." ”

The group came to the outside of the village and found a suitable experimental site.

On the way, the brigade commander asked how to conduct the experiment?

Yuan Chenming felt that just looking at the number of explosive fragments had no ornamental effect. Therefore, it is recommended to place a few scarecrows as imaginary enemies.

This is used to observe the explosion effect of the grenade.

The crowd agreed.

A moment later, several scarecrows, which the cavalry had used to practice slashing, stood in the clearing.

The brigade commander was overjoyed when he saw the hunt, so he took a grenade and weighed it, which was lighter than the original grenade: "You look, I'll throw one and try it." ”

"Brigade commander, it hasn't been tested yet, it's not safe, I'll vote for the first one!" A staff officer said.

"Ridiculous." The brigade commander was very unhappy when he heard this, and looked at him coldly: "If even I don't dare to use it, how can I let the soldiers use it?" I have to throw this grenade. ”

The reprimanded staff officer bowed his head slightly, not daring to persuade him anymore. The brigade commander is this kind of character, but the first time he cares, and then he persuades him, he looks down on the brigade commander.

The commissar frowned, and he stopped talking. Obviously, there are some worries in my heart, and there are many incidents of grenades made in the border area.

Who knows, this untested grenade will not present such and such potential dangers?

Yuan Chenming was aware of everyone's worries, and he gave a suitable reason: "Brigade commander, I designed the grenade, and I also prepared the gunpowder, let me throw it when I see the first one!" ”

He smiled and quipped: "Brigade commander, you can't steal the limelight from me!" ”

"Where is this the first, obviously the hundreds."

Li Yunlong stood up and explained to everyone: "This grenade, the first one was indeed blown up by him. At that time, our new regiment was having a military-civilian party, and the courtyard where he lived suddenly exploded, and I was almost startled by him.

Later, the anti-sweep made more than 100 pieces urgently that day, and when they were fighting devils in Dakouling, they were all thrown out, and the little devils cried and called their mothers. The results are not bad. ”

"Oh, what's going on?" The brigade commander also heard it for the first time. If this is the case, then the grenade has been tested and its performance is guaranteed.

"Yes, Xu Xiaoyong told me, I almost forgot." The political commissar also remembered that this stubble was coming, and what he said also confirmed Li Yunlong's statement.

"By the way, when their propaganda team moved with the people, they also dealt with a group of bandits, and more than 20 grenades smashed down on their heads and faces, and they won the battle."

"Guess who's in charge? It's Comrade Xiao Yuan! ”

The words of the political commissar made Yuan Chenming immediately become the focus of everyone.

A very handsome and polite guy, I didn't expect to be able to be literate and martial, which left a deep impression on everyone.

Many people think about it in their hearts, and compare Yuan Chenming with themselves, in terms of appearance, there is no comparison. In terms of this cultural ability, people can design and transform grenades, which is not ordinary.

As for this command ability, I have no previous experience and have never gone to a military school. As soon as you get started, you can take out a gang of bandits, which is really a bit of a talent.

It's really better than people to die, and goods have to be thrown away!

The brigade commander showed a surprised look for the first time today, and he said with a smile: "I didn't expect that our Comrade Xiao Yuan is still an all-rounder, capable of writing and martial arts. ”

Yuan Chenming didn't know how to be modest at this moment.

It was Li Yunlong who relieved him, "Brigade commander, I threw this grenade, let me show you it." ”

After speaking, Li Yunlong grabbed a grenade, walked more than a dozen steps to the throwing field, and wrapped the thin string on his index finger.

He looked back at the crowd, "Look at it! ”

The thin wire was pulled out, and the fuse was lit, and smoke came out from the lower end of the wooden handle.

Li Yunlong flicked his arms and threw them at a few scarecrows fifty meters away.

The grenade crossed a parabola and landed more accurately in the middle of the scarecrow.

After a few more seconds, there was a boom, a violent sound accompanied by a puff of black smoke, and the fragments of the explosion flew everywhere.

Where the grenade exploded, there was a depression that had sunk in. The people who were watching from a distance did not need to worry about the possibility of being injured by the fragments, so they did not do anything to protect themselves, but looked there with wide eyes.

Just looking at the sound of explosions and smoke doesn't make much sense.

The only useful conclusion they could draw just now was that after silently counting in their minds, they determined that the grenade was about nine seconds from the time the string was pulled to the time it exploded.

It is in line with the throwing requirements.

Xing Zhiguo asked for instructions to collect and inspect the fragments after the explosion, but the brigade commander said: "Forget it, let's all go and have a look, without investigation, we have no right to speak." ”

Everyone moved to the scene of the explosion again.

The crater created after the grenade exploded, the blackened scarecrow, and in several places were still burned by the flames, which was not very large.

The fragments of the explosion scattered on the ground were easily collected and formed into a half-grenade warhead in the hands of the brigade commander.

All that remained was the fragments embedded in the scarecrow, which took a few moments to search for and find out.

In this situation, Yuan Chenming recalled the convenience of the 21st century.

Set up a few dummies as targets, not to mention how many explosive fragments are pierced under the action of force. It is what kind of wound is created by piercing, and whether it has caused fatal injuries, you can see clearly.

What is like this, you can only make an imaginary conclusion based on the approximate result.

"Thirty fragments are small, and half of them are inserted into the enemy's body, and the killing effect is already very good." The brigade commander came to a conclusion.

The rest of the people were talking.

"The grenade we made before exploded with half the fragments that exploded. That's a big improvement indeed. ”

"If you calculate the time and throw it out to explode in the air, wouldn't the lethal effect be doubled?"

"I heard that the cost is lower than the grenades we made before, so I think it should be changed to this kind of grenade."

Li Yunlong said to the brigade commander: "Brigade commander, there are more than those advantages, this grenade is lighter and can be thrown farther. Why don't you try it? ”

"Okay, let's try it again." The brigade commander originally had this intention, and when he said so, he decided to do it again.

After setting up the target tree, everyone also left to watch from afar, and the brigade commander stepped back ten meters from the position where Li Yunlong was standing just now.

"It's all optimistic." Li Yunlong, who was standing beside Yuan Chenming, said in a low voice.

I saw the brigade commander pull the string, wait for a few seconds, unite his waist and horse, throw his arms, and do it in one go.

The grenade slashed through a beautiful arc and exploded in the air above the heads of several scarecrows.

Li Yunlong muttered in a low voice, "The brigade commander is mighty, and he still hasn't lost what he was back then." ”

"Okay." The political commissar took the lead in applauding, and everyone applauded.

I just don't know if the commissar saw it clearly, or if he just heard the voice.

When I looked at the fragments of the grenade explosion just now, I was looking at it right under my nose.

Yuan Chenming clapped his palms and guessed in his heart.

"Alright, let's see the results." The brigade commander didn't like this kind of exaggerated style, but since it was everyone's kindness, he couldn't put on a cold face, so he could only turn to business.

As in the previous inspection, half of the grenade's fragments were picked up on the ground, and the other half was picked up on the scarecrow.

It's just a slight difference from last time.

Last time, the fragment was basically in the lower half of the scarecrow's body, indicating that if there is an enemy, it is the enemy's lower body that kills or injures it.

This time the fragments were basically present in the upper half of the scarecrow's body, especially the head.

Again, but this time it's more deadly. After all, the upper half of the body is more lethal, especially the head.

There are also some conclusions that are difficult to see in experiments, but can be drawn based on past experience.

The crowd discussed for a while, and finally came to an obvious conclusion, that is, this grenade is really good, and mass production is recommended.

They also said that the brigade commander was already thinking about it, and immediately telegraphed this improved grenade to the division commander, preparing to promote it to the arsenal in the whole base area.
