Chapter 13: High-Explosive Grenade Shocked the Boss for a Year
As soon as they entered the workshop, the brigade commander and Zhang Wan saw Li Yunlong standing in front of a table.
The table is filled with various parts, even gunpowder.
The brigadier shouted: "Li Yunlong, where are you doing?"
Li Yunlong turned around and smiled: "Brigadier, are you done with the call? I'm researching a new type of grenade!"
Seeing Li Yunlong's playful smile, the brigade commander immediately became angry. He walked up to Li Yunlong and said, "Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have developed a new weapon. There are plenty of them in the grenade arsenal. Why are you tinkering with them?"
"Our resources are limited, and you are not a professional. Don't waste materials. Any waste is shameful. Go ahead, don't make any more trouble!"
Li Yunlong smacked his lips and said: "My brigade commander, we old Li are knowledgeable and educated. We can even make guns. How can we do this recklessly? I will never give up on anyone who wastes materials! I am working on it now.
This grenade is different from the one we use, it is a high-explosive grenade!"
"High-explosive grenade?" The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong with confusion.
He had seen and used grenades before. The better ones were the German wooden handle grenades used by the Chinese army.
The grenades produced by the Eighth Route Army Factory are basically imitations.
What is this high-explosive grenade?
Seeing the brigade commander's confused look, Li Yunlong immediately explained: "My high-explosive grenades are twice as powerful as the grenades we use now."
"And it's filled with iron marbles, which can cause serious injuries to enemies within range after they explode!"
After Li Yunlong explained this, the brigade commander suddenly realized and looked at Li Yunlong with a shocked face.
Anyone who has been on the battlefield knows that it is better to seriously injure an enemy than to kill him, and his comrades need to risk their lives to rescue him. This can effectively prevent the enemy from attacking or escaping.
And in the later stage, it will also hinder the enemy's medical treatment and transportation.
But the enemy has no choice but to save them. If they watch the wounded die without treatment, it will only chill the hearts of other officers and soldiers, who will be willing to sacrifice their lives next.
If what Li Yunlong said is true, then this high-explosive grenade will undoubtedly be another trump card!
"I said Li Yunlong, are you lying to me?" The brigade commander stared at him: "Can you really build such a thing?"
Li Yunlong chuckled: "Brigadier, if you don't believe it, just watch from here. If I can't get it out, I'll give you my head as a ball to kick! However, if I get it out, you must agree to one condition.
!”
The brigade commander was delighted: "You boy, have you learned how to bargain with me now? I tell you, if you want to do it, do it quickly. If you don't want to do it, get out of here right now!"
Li Yunlong chuckled: "Brigadier, then I'll take it as your promise!"
Li Yunlong immediately lowered his head and got busy.
The reason why the rifle was built quickly was because he had drawn the drawings before he came, and the arsenal produced a carbine by itself, so some of the grinding tools and production lines could be matched.
But the high-explosive grenade was different. Li Yunlong had to draw a new picture, and then after drawing one, the relevant technicians came over to explain in detail how to make it.
It looks very simple, just a small grenade.
However, weapons are very sophisticated, and a small oversight may lead to tragedy.
At that time, instead of hurting the enemy, he hurt himself.
In this way, it took a whole afternoon for Li Yunlong to complete the detailed work arrangements.
Next, all the grenade workshops of the arsenal stopped working, and more than 200 people accompanied Li Yunlong to make a grenade.
From evening to late night, and from late night to the next morning.
Finally, before Li Ming's dawn arrived, Li Yunlong placed the grenade that had begun to take shape in front of the brigade commander.
The brigade commander looked at the grenade carefully, scratched his head and said, "Is this the thing? It's two or three times more powerful than our grenade? I think it's almost the same as the Japanese melon grenade, it's just a little bigger and longer.
On point!”
Li Yunlong said calmly: "Brigadier, just go and verify the power!"
The brigade commander nodded, and then followed Li Yunlong out of the arsenal workshop and came to an open space.
Just when Li Yunlong was about to throw a high-explosive grenade, Zhang Wan hurried over: "Brigadier Commander, the boss is here."
The brigade commander quickly stopped Li Yunlong and prepared to ask him to go with him to meet the boss.
After walking a few steps, the boss had already arrived in front of the two of them.
The boss glanced at Li Yunlong, turned to the brigade commander and said, "As soon as I received the call, I rushed over quickly. Where are the new weapons? Bring them to me!"
The brigade commander quickly explained: "The new weapons are in the arsenal, but Li Yunlong just developed a new grenade, and we are planning to test it."
The boss snorted coldly: "I knew you were lying to me. You just finished making new weapons and made new grenades? Could it be that Li Yunlong's elm head is made of gold? One idea after another?"
Li Yunlong on the side smiled slightly: "Boss, look at what you said. We are not what we used to be. I have read a lot of books recently, and making things is trivial."
The boss glanced at the high-explosive grenade in Li Yunlong's hand and sneered: "Isn't this just a kid's cantaloupe grenade? Do you think I am a three-year-old child who is so easy to fool?"
Due to the limitations of the times, the high-explosive grenades created by Li Yunlong could not be made as long and small as later generations. The appearance looked more like a Japs melon grenade.
Li Yunlong quickly explained: "Boss, this just looks like a Japs melon grenade, but it is much more powerful than a Japs melon grenade. If you don't believe it, you can try it with us!"
The boss stared at him: "I want to see what special grenade your kid can make!"
After saying that, the boss strode towards the open space of the arsenal, followed closely by the others.
Soon, the open space was surrounded by a circle of people who came to watch the fun.
"Fuck me, stay back 30 meters. I won't be responsible if you get injured." Li Yunlong quickly scolded those who were closer.
The high-explosive grenade that Li Yunlong introduced earlier has an explosion radius of about 20 meters, but because there are iron pellets inside, the actual killing range can be up to 60 meters.
In order to ensure that no one else was hurt, Li Yunlong asked them to keep a distance of more than 70 meters.
Glancing at Li Yunlong, who was evacuating the crowd, the boss snorted coldly, turned to the brigade commander beside him and said: "Our grenade explosion range is only about 6 meters, but Li Yunlong asked us to retreat so far. What else is it if it's not just pretentious?"
The brigade commander gave a helpless smile, feeling in his heart that it was indeed unnecessary to retreat so far.
However, Li Yunlong made this high-explosive grenade, so he was not sure about its power.
After everyone kept a safe distance, Li Yunlong jogged all the way to the boss: "Let me report to the boss, everything is ready. Can we conduct a high-explosive grenade experiment?"
The boss glared at Li Yunlong: "What are you pretending to be? Hurry up!"
"Yes!" Li Yunlong saluted and turned around to the throwing point.
As Li Yunlong opened the fuse of the high-explosive grenade and threw it into the distance, the high-explosive grenade landed in an open space thirty meters away.
"One second!"
"Two seconds!"
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and a high-explosive grenade exploded in the distance, causing mud and sand to fly toward everyone like raindrops.
A stone next to it was instantly beaten beyond recognition, with holes all over it.
One or two iron marbles even rolled to the boss's feet.
At this moment, everyone including the boss was shocked.
Not only was it powerful, but its range was wider than any grenade they had ever seen, not to mention that it contained iron pellets that could seriously injure the enemy.
"This... this grenade is too powerful!" The boss waved his hand to disperse the dust in front of his eyes, and looked at the brigade commander with a face full of astonishment.
The brigade commander was stunned by the sight in front of him and could only keep nodding.
At this moment, Li Yunlong walked up to the boss with the M14 and said with a smile: "How are you, boss? The power of my high-explosive grenade did not disappoint you! How about you try this new weapon?"
Hearing Li Yunlong call him, the boss reacted: "This grenade is really powerful. If your new weapon is what you said, then I will reward you well!"
After speaking, the boss took the new weapon from Li Yunlong and began to test it.
Needless to say, the result was exactly the same as what the brigade commander told him before.
The boss laughed excitedly: "I really didn't expect that Li Yunlong, with his elm-headed head, could actually create such a good weapon for us. Good, good, not bad!"
