In the end, the news that there was steel at Eagle Creek Cliff was not leaked. Considering that the walls had ears, if the Japanese knew, they would go crazy.
Because Zhou Yun did not tell the guards how much steel there was, it was better to keep it a secret.
In the future, he would just come here every day to turn stone into gold. Anyway, the brigade commander would arrange for someone to be in charge of mining. He did not have to worry about anything else.
Wangjiatun!
The arsenal was built in the valley behind Wangjiatun, including the logistics department of the 115th, 120th, and 129th divisions, as well as the rear hospital.
Therefore, there were nearly 20,000 people living in Wangjiatun, which gradually formed a small town.
Ding dong ~
In the crude workshop of the arsenal, the sound of forging could be heard one after another. There were workers busy in front of dozens of furnaces, and some women were pulling out windboxes.
Sparks flew in all directions. Zhou Yun squatted on the ground and studied the shell of a grenade. From the way he frowned, he knew that he was in trouble.
The grenades used by the 8th Route Army and the national army were basically the M24 replica grenades. They were lighter and smaller, suitable for the use of the Xia people.
However, the problem was that the small size and light weight meant that there was less ammunition. In addition, the steel material and casting technology were not up to standard, resulting in the grenade's power being insufficient.
Li Yunlong complained that the border manufacturing was not good. Sometimes, when he threw it out, it would explode in half. There were not enough fragments, and the lethality... Well, it was equivalent to listening to the sound.
However, this was not what Zhou Yun was worried about. With the Bomb Fruit, he did not care about the quality of the explosives at all. He should be pursuing how to kill the enemy on a large scale.
Therefore, he turned his attention to the egg-type grenade. This egg-type grenade was more convenient to carry than the wooden handle grenade, and it did not affect his movement.
However, the shell that had been pre-opened was not interesting enough. Should he add small steel balls directly?
Just do it!
He placed a small piece of explosive that he had prepared beforehand into the shell, then poured in more than a hundred small steel balls with a diameter of 0.33 mm, which were not very round and had barbs, but were completely unaffected by grenades. He also poured in the detonator, delay fuse, safety grip, primer, hammer spring, and hammer.
He pinched the grip and inserted the safety pin. A grenade was quickly assembled.
The cylindrical grenade with a diameter of 7 cm and a height of 7.5 cm looked pretty good, but he wondered how effective it would be.
After assembling two more, Zhou Yun stood up and shouted.
"Zhang Fei, let's go and test this new guy.”
"He's here."
……
Back mountain.
Zhang Fei brought two guards to arrange the wooden planks in a staggered manner before retreating to hide behind the sandbag bunker.
Zhou Yun, who was holding the frag grenade, moved his arm, pulled out the safety pin, and threw it out.
"Get down!"
The grenade flew 30 meters before landing on the ground.
Hong ~
With a loud bang, the 150 small steel balls inside shot out in all directions.
Crackling ~
The human-shaped templates within a 15-meter radius were either shattered by the shock wave or riddled with holes by the steel balls. Some of the wooden boards even had more than 20 holes.
Zhou Yun stood up with some lingering fear. He walked closer and observed for a while. He had a rough estimate in his heart.
If the egg grenade was converted into a bomb fruit, it would not be suitable for attack because the power was too great. If it was not thrown far, it would explode.
Damn it, what trouble!
It was powerful enough, but it could only be used for defense.
It was no wonder that our army was still equipped with wooden hand grenades in the 21st century. The advantage of wooden hand grenades was that they could be thrown far away and were not easy to roll.
In short, they all had their advantages!
"F * ck, Big Brother Yun, your grenade is a little powerful. It's even bigger than the improved ones made in the border area. Are you going to use this in the future?”
Zhang Fei ran over and took a look. He gasped. If this grenade was used on the Japanese, wouldn't it turn the Japanese into a sieve?
"The egg grenade is only suitable for defensive battles. If you throw it too close, you will injure yourself. Look at that small steel ball flying to our cover.”
"Ah, I see!"
On the way back to the Munitions Factory.
Zhou Yun hesitated for a while before deciding to produce a wooden hand grenade. He would enlarge the body of the grenade to allow the steel balls to be added. As for the explosives, he would reduce them to a size that no one would suspect.
Anyway, with the bomb fruit, it didn't matter if he had explosives or not.
"Zhou Yun, where are you going?"
As he was deep in thought, a voice that sounded like an orchid in the empty valley appeared in his ear. He looked up and saw a pretty girl of 17 or 18 years old standing not far away. She was tall and had a ponytail. Her facial features were so fair that they reflected light.
Yes, this is my dish!
The girl was Wang Cuihua from Wangjiatun.
The name was so old-fashioned that it could fall off. It was simply a waste of a heavenly gift.
Wang Cuihua's house was less than 500 meters away from the Munitions Factory. Ever since Zhou Yun came two months ago, everyone could tell that the little girl liked this young military expert who had returned from abroad.
However, the person involved did not know. He had always hated Wang Cuihua for coming to play with him every day and affecting his work.
"Sigh…A straight man is destined to be alone!"
