Compared to bullets, grenades were much more advanced.
Of course.
The simple grenades made in the border area did not count.
As for why?
It was very simple.
A grenade that was filled with gunpowder and split in half when it exploded was still called a grenade?
That was a firecracker!
Now.
The grenade that Zhou Chen wanted to make was a real grenade.
MKII Grenade!
What was interesting was…
Didn't Li Yunlong and the others like to call the Japanese's grenades cantaloupes? The MKII grenade that Zhou Chen was going to make now looked similar to Pineapple.
Therefore…
MKII grenades were also known as pineapple grenades.
As for why Zhou Chen chose to make this grenade, it was because it was the only one that could be made in his region.
For example, the M26 grenade or the M26A1, etc., were temporarily impossible.
The industrial level was not high enough.
However!
Even so, the production of the MKII grenade continued to fail.
Either there was a problem with the fuse, or there was a leak. Most importantly, when the experimenters tried to detonate it, they were terrified.
After all!
Zhou Chen introduced.
The explosive power of this MKII grenade was extremely huge. It could almost destroy a house with one grenade.
Of course.
This was referring to the current houses, not the high-rise buildings in the future.
But then again...
Fortunately, Zhou Chen had chosen TNT, which was relatively stable, as the filling material, and not an unstable substance like nitrogen.
Therefore…
In the experiments, Zhou Chen and the 40-odd people he led did not suffer any accidental explosion or injury.
As the saying goes, hard work pays off.
Finally.
It was the last day of the boss's one-month deadline.
This MKII grenade!
It was done.
During the experiment, the explosion was deafening.
This was because the range of the shrapnel from the grenade was within 50 yards. The distance that the soldiers could throw was generally between 35 to 40 yards!
Therefore…
After throwing it, the soldiers had to lie down or find cover.
Power.
It was too big.
Looking at the power of the explosion, Zhou Chen finally calmed down.
The Japanese's Type 97 Frag Grenade was nothing in front of the MKII!
"If Li Yunlong saw this, he would probably be too embarrassed to brag about the Japanese's cantaloupes in front of me, right? Haha!" Zhou Chen was very happy.
Soon after.
He ordered his 40 men to work overtime to produce 10 boxes of MKII grenades.
After all!
He still had to get past the boss…
Logically speaking!
After the grenade was successfully developed, he should be able to have a good sleep tonight.
It was a pity.
Plans could never keep up with changes.
The battle between our army and the Japanese had started again.
The next morning.
Zhou Chen was arranging for people to carry wooden boxes filled with straw and sawdust. At the same time, there were also MKII grenades that he had worked overtime to make.
Because it was a replica.
Therefore, this grenade was no longer called an MKII.
At the bottom of each grenade, there were three big words engraved: " Made in Border Region ". In the future, my soldiers will probably call it a grenade made in the border area.
Just like Hanyang.
Of course.
Zhou Chen didn't really care about the name of the grenade.
Today, he wanted to send these ammunition to the boss for inspection. Who would have thought that when he woke up, there were wars everywhere.
Even if Zhou Chen wanted to, he wouldn't be able to send it over!
This!
As soon as the battle started, Ding Wei brought his men to take back his company.
"Old Zhou, I'm sorry. I have to take my company away. The Japanese have launched a large-scale raid on our base. The battle at the front line is tight. I have received orders to escort the villagers out!”
Ding Wei said apologetically to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen also understood Ding Wei's intentions. He shook his head and said,""It's okay. Protecting the villagers is more important. Thank you for your hard work, Commander Ding."
After saying that.
He turned to look at his subordinate and ordered,"Go, bring the ten boxes of grenades and forty boxes of bullets that we prepared for Commander Ding!”
"Yes, sir!"
Under Zhou Chen's orders, the people from the Munitions Factory began to move the ammunition.
Ding Wei moved closer to Zhou Chen and questioned,""Hey, why are there only ten boxes? Didn't we agree on twenty boxes of high-explosive grenades?”
"This war came too quickly. I worked overtime last night and only did so much. I was originally prepared to send it to the CEO for acceptance.”
"Now that the battle at the front line is tight, I'll owe you the remaining ten boxes. Besides, didn't I give you an extra 40 boxes of bullets? You won't lose out!”Zhou Chen said.
Ding Wei heard this.
That was indeed the case, so he didn't fuss about it.
When the two of them bade farewell, Ding Wei said kindly,"Minister Zhou, you should also order your men to pack up. The devils are coming at us menacingly this time. I don't think our 129th Division's frontline troops will be able to hold on for long.”
"I reckon that the headquarters will soon give the order to retreat and start a strategic shift!”
Ding Wei had good intentions.
Zhou Chen knew.
However…
He finally managed to build a prototype of the Munitions Factory, and now he was going to give it up?
Zhou Chen was very unwilling!
But fortunately.
The location of the Munitions Factory is at the rear of our base. Even if we want to retreat, it should be at the very end.
"Understood, Commander Ding. Take care!”
"You take care too!"
The two of them saluted each other and said goodbye.
Zhou Chen looked in the direction that Ding Wei had left with his men.
The look in his eyes became slightly determined!
Retreat?
"No, the Son of Heaven guards the gates of the country, and the king dies for the country! As the logistics department head, even if I die suddenly, I will solve the problem of ammunition for the soldiers!”
"Inform the rest. The last clause of the agreement, wartime production status, activate!”
