Under Shen Feng's leadership, not only the soldiers of the Works Department, but all the soldiers of the Munitions Factory, including the officers, were also involved in this reform.
He taught the engineers how to use smell, shape, color, and other methods to identify various ores. The 300 puppet soldiers worked as coolies, using hammers, pickaxes, and other tools to crush some large stones.
In the end, they were transported back to the boiler room of the arsenal by horses.
Other than the original three-section boiler in the factory, there was also a small high-temperature furnace made by Shen Feng!
This was a type of coal boiler that was built according to the blueprint given by the system and the steam engine in the factory. Coal was very common in Jin Province and could be found in the mines.
This way, they could obtain materials on the spot without worrying about the fuel problem. A small boiler could be filled with a ton of mineral materials at a time. Although it could not be refined, it could be experimented with to produce some special resources.
Old Li was not idle either. He saw that the Munitions Factory was in full swing, so how could he be willing to work on the sewing machine in the clothing factory? He directly brought Sun Desheng and the others to be explosives.
Boom!
Boom!
Explosions could be heard from time to time in the mountains, but they did not disturb Shen Feng, who was doing his experiments.
He knew that Li Yunlong was enjoying himself. Not only did he use explosives, but he also used mortars to attack some tough bones. He was extremely cruel.
After the basic plates of electricity and mechanical equipment were built, he focused more on the production of TNT.
This was a room that was specially set aside for Shen Feng to conduct experiments. As it involved many secrets, outsiders were not allowed to enter without his permission.
The experiment table was filled with bottles and jars, beakers, alcohol lamps, test tubes, and some simple chemical tools.
With his talent as a Mechanic, he could make up for the lack of precision instruments like the microscope.
At the same time.
Taiyuan, the atmosphere of the Japanese army headquarters was completely different from the arsenal.
Shinozuka Yoshio was playing Go with a major general, and the room was filled with pressure and solemnity.
The fierce-looking colonel standing beside him was Yamamoto Ichiki!
"Yamamoto, I'm very disappointed in your intelligence work.”
Shinozuka Yoshio's face darkened." It's been so long. Not only have we not investigated the details of the battle at the Gray Cloud Ridge, but Wan Town has also been attacked by the Eighth Route. Don't you want to say something?"”
Yamamoto Ichiki braced himself and said," We've already found out that the same weapon appeared in both battles. It's called the Heartless Cannon. It's a close-range, powerful cannon."”
" The reason why the Eight Paths obtained the advantage in these two battles is inseparable from these cannons…"
"Oh?"
"Earth cannon?" The major general asked. Do you mean that the dignified Imperial Elite Officer, Daisuke Sakata, died under the cannon of the 8th route?”
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Major General Miyano Ichido was the chief of staff of the Japanese army's northern front. On the surface, he was supporting Shinozuka Yoshio, but in reality, they were not on good terms.
Shinozuka Yoshio had just been promoted to lieutenant general not long ago, and his military style was more inclined to the Hawk Faction. Supporting Yamamoto to build special forces was a typical example.
Miyano, on the other hand, was more conservative, so it was inevitable for the two of them to have disagreements at certain times. This time, the two consecutive losses at Ashen Cloud Ridge and Wan Family Town also made Shinozuka Yoshio feel embarrassed in front of him.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, you're wrong!”
"According to the sample sent back from the front line, the manufacturing principle and materials of this earth cannon are extremely simple, but its power is very fierce," Yamamoto hurriedly explained.
"Baka!"
Suddenly, before Miyano could speak, Shinozuka Yoshio slammed the table and scolded,""Mr. Yamamoto, I'm not listening to you talk about how powerful the eight routes are. No matter how powerful these cannons are, the empire must regain its dignity!”
"As you said, then the Eighth Route will definitely quickly spread the use of these cannons. If they can do it, can't we?”
" Our weapons, equipment, and troops are all superior to theirs. But how am I going to explain to the commander after consecutive defeats?”
Yamamoto silently criticized Shinozuka Yoshio, thinking that he was always so arrogant, and blindly arrogant!
"General, please calm down. According to the investigation of the intelligence department, we have locked onto the location of the 8th route command center.”
"Nani?"
Shinozuka Yoshio's anger instantly turned into joy." Where? Is the information confirmed?"
"Yes, and this command center is most likely the headquarters of the 8th Army in the Huabei Warzone.”
"But because of this, his surroundings are filled with defensive forces. According to the investigation, there are at least two regiments. As for the specific defensive deployment of these two combat regiments, it is still under further investigation.”
"Therefore, if we use the strategy of a large army, the cunning 8th Route Command will definitely flee.”
"You want to use your special operations mode?”
"Ha Yi!"
Yamamoto said frankly," The training of my special agent team has already shown initial results. They have also carried out many combat missions. Although they have not achieved great results, I believe that this decapitation operation will reflect their true role!”
"General, please give me this chance. I will definitely not disappoint you!”
Shinozuka Yoshio picked up a chess piece and pondered.
" Yamamoto," Miyano said coldly," your special agent team only has a hundred people. You said it yourself. There are at least two regiments there. There are 2,000 soldiers from the Eighth Route. The gap is 200 to 1. How can you be confident?"”
"Chief of Staff, you know the abilities of my agents best. Each of them is an elite, no, the best of the best, selected from the combat teams of the Imperium's army!”
"Heh, of course I know. It's precisely because you want to establish the Yamamoto Special Agent Team that you transferred countless elite soldiers from the empire. Do you know how much the commanders below you think of you?”
Miyano was disdainful. The officers under him wouldn't go to Shinozuka Yoshio for this kind of thing. They would only go to him. Therefore, he was very disgusted with Yamamoto and didn't think highly of the special forces at all.
Therefore, Yamamoto desperately needed a chance to prove his strategic and tactical abilities.
He clenched his fists and looked at Shinozuka Yoshio. Suddenly, he knelt on one knee and lowered his head to beg.
"In that case, let's do it.”
Shinozuka Yoshio still admired Yamamoto's courage. He stared at him sharply." Only success, no failure!"”
"Ha Yi!"
