Stilwell didn't realize it at first, but he soon realized it.
If they were on the same side as the Soviet Union, why did the Soviet Union sponsor the Bald King instead of them?!
He thought about the funding the Soviet Union gave to the chairman from the intelligence report, and then looked at the current situation of the 8th route.
Stilwell felt angry for them. Where were their brothers?!
This was their brother's unit?
"I can't guarantee anything from Congress, but I will leave all this and my judgment to the president and the pentagon.”
Yang Zhongde nodded. This was exactly what he wanted.
Actually, it was probably Situ Meitang who had put in a lot of effort to help the chairman.
After all, at the beginning, Rosford had praised China and always felt that China could take charge of the situation alone.
However, reality was a slap in the face. The chairman's operation was really terrible.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two of them went to Situ Meitang's cafeteria to eat.
In the next few days, Yang Zhongde couldn't accompany them completely, so he asked Duan Peng to be a guard and transferred a monk to help.
He brought them to the base of the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment to take a look.
Meanwhile, he was busy making grenades, especially the MK2 defensive grenades. The more, the better.
In addition, they had to make mines, and it was definitely impossible to use all iron shells.
Fortunately, there was a lot of sand in northwestern Shanxi, and there was a history of pottery burning.
Therefore, they burned thick and crude clay pots as containers, filled with gunpowder and explosives, and turned them into simple mines.
"Ding ~! Congratulations! He had learned the skill, Simple Landmine Creation! Simple Landmine Creation: A First Look.”
Yang Zhongde was not surprised that he could learn skills on his own. He knew that the system would also calculate the experience points for these skills.
Simply put, if he wanted to level up this skill, he had to continuously use this skill to accumulate proficiency.
Once the proficiency reached a certain level, it would be upgraded to the next stage.
Therefore, Yang Zhongde fell in love with making mines all of a sudden. After working in the mine factory for a day, he actually made more than 30 mines.
He took out a few and tested them on the shooting range. From afar, he pulled open the hook and saw the buried mines.!”A sound rang out!
The shockwave from the explosion sent dust and gravel flying and falling down.
The ground rumbled as the masters of the Munitions Factory watched with their mouths agape.
"Good fellow! If the Japanese stepped on it, they would probably be blown up, right?!”
Yang Zhongde laughed. He could make more of these mines in the early stages.
However, it would be difficult to deal with the Japanese later on.
It was also very troublesome to make rough pottery jars. After all, he still needed to find clay and use firewood to burn the jars.
Yang Zhongde quickly had a new idea. He asked someone to find the big rocks by the roadside.
He also asked the old masters in the military factory to make a few hard stone chisels for him.
Then, he found a few stonemasons and dug out the stones.
After stuffing the explosives into the stone mine, the old masters had completely opened their eyes.
The group of people clicked their tongues, thinking about what they could bring back to use as a landmine.
Yang Zhongde smiled bitterly. This was only a temporary solution.
Landmines were only a means of defense, but heavy firepower was still extremely lacking.
This was also the reason why the Japanese army dared to attack the base area. The base area lacked heavy firepower that could resist the Japanese army.
However, how to strengthen the heavy firepower of the eight routes with the current resources was a huge hurdle.
The single weapon with the greatest lethality in the Eighth Route was probably the explosive bag.
However, someone had to carry the explosive bag and pounce on it. He couldn't possibly run over by himself, right?!
This thing was also very heavy. Who could throw it over?
Wait…throw it over? Yang Zhongde suddenly thought of something. Then, he found a few warriors.
"Bring two empty oil barrels over!”
Although the few soldiers were a little confused, they still stood at attention and agreed.
Soon, a few large oil barrels were rolled over. Yang Zhongde walked around the oil barrels and asked the old masters to find tools.
He pried open the top of the oil barrel and wiped the inside clean.
After measuring the base of the oil barrel, he asked the carpenter to saw the base and wrap it with a layer of iron sheet.
Even though they couldn't understand what Yang Zhongde was going to do, they all helped him finish the task honestly.
Yang Zhongde drilled another hole at the bottom and stuffed a wire in.
"Give me a pound of black gunpowder and a ten-kilogram explosive bag!”
A group of soldiers and old masters quickly went to find it for the brigade commander. Yang Zhongde asked them to saw out something like a pot lid according to the opening of the oil barrel.
While everyone was confused about what it was, Yang Zhongde had already asked them to carry everything to the test range.
He raised his right thumb and squinted his eyes.
He moved back another two hundred meters and then picked up the shovel to dig a hole.
Moreover, he didn't let others touch him and made them stand far away.
After a while, he dug a deep hole and buried the oil barrel in it.
Then, he fixed the explosive bag to the wooden board with a nail. After gesturing for a long time, he stuffed a fuse into the bucket.
At this moment, Yang Zhongde suddenly pulled open the detonator of the explosive pack!
Immediately, the soldiers who were watching from afar stood up and were about to pounce over.
That was an explosive bag! A deep hole of more than a meter was created with each explosion! Anyone within a 20-meter radius would die from the shock!
However, Yang Zhongde calmly stuffed the explosives into the oil barrel, lit the fuse, turned around, and ran towards the soldiers who stood up!
"Hurry up and run back! Why are you standing up!"
The few warriors who had taken a few steps back immediately fled.
What a joke, that was an explosive bag!
If the brigade commander was still around, they would have pounced on him.
However, the brigade commander had already run back. If they rushed forward, they would be courting death.
At this moment, a dull thud came from behind them.”.
Yang Zhongde and the others couldn't help but turn around to look, only to see a black object shooting out of the barrel!
It flew into the distance and soon landed not far away from a hill.
"Boom!" Everyone saw a small explosion cloud about 500 meters ahead.
The few soldiers were so frightened that they stopped in their tracks. They stared at the explosion cloud in the distance and muttered to themselves.
"Oh my god! If this thing landed on the enemy's position…"
Even if he didn't die from the explosion, he would still die from the shock!
The old masters were trembling with excitement. They knew very well how serious the problem of insufficient firepower was.
He quickly went forward and pulled Yang Zhongde, saying,"Brigadier! What was this guy? He's really powerful!"
Yang Zhongde waved his hand and let everyone follow him to check the effects.
"This is called a flying thunder cylinder!" Of course, you could also call him a heartless cannon!
