Cantaloup Grenades were also known as Type 97 Grenades and were commonly used by the Japanese Navy and the core land forces.
Although the explosive power was small, its fragment range was wide, and it could cause large-scale damage to the surrounding living things.
It was a very practical grenade in a charge.
The effect is several times better than the grenades made in our border areas.
Lu Chen now had a full set of bullet production lines. What he lacked was a melee weapon like grenades.
Not only could the Cantaloup Grenade give Lu Chen a template for future research, but it could also be used to disassemble the grenade fuse for research.
"I'll accept this gift. Thank you so much, Dabiao.”
Lu Chen said.
"Let's go in and drink."
"To be honest, I also have something good to give you!”
As the saying went, it was impolite not to reciprocate.
Since Zhang Dabiao had brought him the Type 97 Frag Grenade, he naturally couldn't be stingy.
While the two of them were drinking, Lu Chen asked Zhu Zi to go to the stable to pick out dozens of strong horses as gifts for Zhang Dabiao.
For Lu Chen, he wanted to take the modern development route of firearms.
The soldiers in the militia were all well equipped.
Forming a cavalry unit was too much of a waste. There was no need for that.
A small cavalry unit was enough.
The Eighth Route Army's equipment could not keep up, so having a cavalry company could greatly enhance their combat effectiveness.
After drinking, Lu Chen led Zhang Dabiao to the stable and said that he wanted to give these dozens of horses to him.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
"Chen…Brother Chen, where did you get so many horses?”
"Rich?"
"Don't worry about the horses I brought. You only need to know that these horses are yours!"”
Zhang Dabiao's face, which was red from drinking, smiled.""Good brother!"
"This gift is too heavy!"”
"These horses are enough for our battalion to form a cavalry company. I can't take them."”
"Dabiao, accept it. There's no reason for me to take back the gifts I've given."”
"If you really feel bad, why don't you do me a favor?”
" I'll help you." Zhang Dabiao patted his chest." If there's anything I can do, I'll do it for you."”
"Alright, brother, your words are enough.”
"Actually, my favor is very simple. I just want to borrow someone from you. Sun Desheng from your regiment will report to my Militia Brigade tomorrow.”
"That's it?" Zhang Dabiao smiled.”
" No problem," Zhang Dabiao said." Although he's not from our 1st Battalion, I have a good relationship with the other two Battalion Commanders. Don't worry, there won't be any problems."”
"Captain Ding…"
Zhang Dabiao: " There won't be a problem. I'll do it properly!"”
"Hahaha, that's good!"”
......
After some small talk, Zhang Dabiao led his horse back to the new group.
The next day, Sun Desheng rode the Malay Militia to report.
Sun Desheng was a loyal and righteous person.
Previously, Shi Yousan had taken him in. In order to repay the other party for saving his life, he had followed him to battle for more than ten years and participated in two Central Plains wars.
Being injured twice was enough to repay his life-saving grace.
However, the other party wanted to become a traitor.
Sun Desheng refused to do it and joined the Eighth Route Army to continue fighting the Japanese!
'When the country is in trouble, everyone has a responsibility.'
Lu Chen admired this kind of man from the bottom of his heart.
"Captain Lu, Sun Desheng is here to report!”
When he was in the new regiment, Lu Chen was not a guard for nothing.
He had a good relationship with many people in the team, and he had a good relationship with Sun Desheng.
"Brother Sun, don't you feel wronged that I asked you to join the militia?" Lu Chen laughed.”
"That won't happen. We're all fighting the Japanese. It doesn't matter where we fight.”
"Moreover, Brother Lu has food and drink here, and there are so many horses and equipment. Brother Lu thinks highly of me and asked me to come over, so I naturally won't refuse.”
Sun Desheng, who was on the horse, held the whip and gave Lu Chen a hug.
This guy was very stubborn. If he had not made up his mind, he would not have come over easily.
It seemed that Zhang Dabiao's 'coercion and bribery' was quite effective, saving Lu Chen the trouble of thinking about it.
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll bring you to see the horses of our brigade first.”
"Alright!"
Sun Desheng jumped down from the horse and followed behind Lu Chen.
When Lu Chen brought him to the horse track, Zhang Dabiao had already given him a heads-up.
He was still shocked.
Seeing the large group of horses on the field, Sun Desheng rubbed his eyes and shook his head.
It was still a vast expanse!
"Lu... Captain, this... So many horses?"
"There should be almost 300 horses. It's more than enough to form a cavalry battalion.”
Lu Chen laughed and shook his head.”
Lu Chen: " We call this the cavalry.”
" It's too wasteful to use all these horses for battle," Lu Chen said." I plan to take out about 200 horses for cavalry training.”
"Within two months, I want you to train a cavalry unit that is as sharp as an unsheathed sword. Are you confident?"”
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Sun Desheng adopted a standard military posture.
"Captain, I can't guarantee anything else, but within two months, the cavalry will be able to go on the battlefield and kill the enemy.”
"If I can't do it, you can shoot me at any time!”
