Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

In the evening, Heiyun Village was brightly lit.

The courtyard was filled with people sitting neatly in rows, and the atmosphere was extremely lively!

In the crowd, soldiers in groups of three or four were chatting with each other.

"Hey, guys, I heard that the leader is treating us to dinner tonight!"

"Do you think there will be lard mixed with sorghum rice? It seems like we haven't eaten any oily food for three months."

The young soldier in the kitchen squad who was running around immediately straightened his back when he heard this.

"Tsk, what's the point of mixing lard with sorghum rice? Look at what you have achieved!"

"Our leader said that from now on, we will have braised pork for every meal, and plenty of rice and steamed buns."

"What? Say it again, braised pork every meal! You little bastard."

"When Xie Baoqing was in charge, we could not eat meat twice a year."

......

As people below were discussing, Li San walked in front and shouted loudly:

"Brothers, please be quiet. Today is the first group dinner since the establishment of our Heiyun Village Anti-Japanese Suicide Volunteer Army. It is also a mobilization meeting before the Anti-Japanese War."

"Now, please welcome our beloved Captain Chen to speak. Let's give him a warm round of applause!"

"Whoosh whoosh..."

There was thunderous applause!

At this time, Chen Yan straightened his clothes and looked at the people sitting below.

He was so excited that his eyes were shining!

These are all my people.

Even if I have to fight with the King of Hell, I dare to pull off both of his beards.

When the applause gradually died down, Chen Yan smiled calmly.

"Brothers, ever since I took over as the leader of Black Cloud Village, some rumors have been spreading in the village."

"Some people say that I am a human being in front of others but a devil behind their backs. I say we should fight against the Japanese but I am actually colluding with the puppet army secretly."

At this time, there was a commotion below.

Chen Yan swept his eyes across the room and continued:

"Yes, I am on good terms with them."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Chen Yan in even greater disbelief.

Then, Chen Yan signaled to Gou Wa with his eyes.

Gou Wa lifted the canvas on the side, and underneath was filled with various weapons and equipment such as mortars, light and heavy machine guns, three rifles, grenades, etc., which was extremely shocking!

"Fuck, Captain, you must have made a fortune. It's so new, it's blinding!"

As he spoke, a soldier rubbed his hands and was very pleased.

"Yes, I did make a fortune."

"And I didn't spend a penny on it, it was all given to me for free."

In an instant, everyone below was confused again by what Chen Yan said.

"What does the captain mean? He's so close and he's talking about weapons and ammunition."

At this time, a young soldier bravely stood up:

"Commander, I heard from the brothers in the second battalion that several puppet soldiers came to deliver weapons this morning, and then you beat them up."

"Captain, are you going to pretend to be on good terms with them first, let them let down their guard, deliver the weapons and ammunition to us, and then turn against them in the end?"

Chen Yan looked at the young soldier and felt a little surprised, with an approval look in his eyes!

"May I have your name".

"Report to the commander, this is Zhang Laogada from the first battalion."

At this time, Chen Yan crossed his legs, tilted his neck, and stared with his eyes wide open:

"Old Gada, you are absolutely right. You are a real genius."

"Hahaha...".

Everyone laughed out loud at Chen Yan's funny movements, expressions and humorous language.

Chen Yan continued: "Brothers, those Japanese dwarfs are just beasts, and the puppet army are just turtles."

"Can I sleep in the same bed with them?"

"Then it would be easy to breed. They are willing, but I am not."

"Hahaha...".

There was laughter again from below.

"My principle is to play with them and play them to death."

"If they give me guns and cannons, I will turn around and beat them up."

"This is what you deserve."

"That's right, Captain. We are going to kill them. These bastards are really causing trouble for us."

Everyone was moved by Chen Yan's words and became excited.

Chen Yan waved his hand to suppress the voices below.

Chen Yan continued: "Brothers, if you follow me, Chen Yan, to fight the Japanese, no one will suffer any loss."

After saying that, Lao Zhang from the kitchen team organized people to bring ten large pots. When they looked closer, they saw that they were all filled with freshly cooked pork stewed with vermicelli.

"Oh my, it's really pork, so delicious!".

"I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Captain, can we eat this?"

"Of course you can eat it."

"I, Chen Yan, promise to everyone that every penny earned from the copycat will be spent on everyone in the future."

"I said that Captain Chen is not like those people who gossip about their wives. Captain, I will follow you wholeheartedly from now on."

"Yes, my life is also the leader's."

Seeing that everyone trusted him so much, Chen Yan's eyes became moist and he picked up a bowl of wine.

"Since you all trust me so much, then my life, Chen Yan, is tied to yours."

"From today on, Heiyun Village will fight the Japanese to the death."

"If I don't beat the shit out of the Japanese, I'm not named Chen."

"I'll toast to everyone."

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

After drinking, Chen Yan threw the bowl hard to the ground.

The others followed suit, and at this time, bursts of crisp sounds were heard in the yard.

The atmosphere at the scene reached a climax, and every soldier's hatred for the Japs was filled to the brim!

"Okay, brothers, let's eat."

Who would have thought that after a simple mobilization meeting, northwestern Shanxi would be turned upside down by this bunch of devils!

Late at night, Chen Yan was still awake. He brought his dog to the ammunition depot.

He looked at the old iron pipe covered with dust in the corner and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After beating Cai Xiongfei's men, it is estimated that the enemy will soon encircle and suppress Heiyun Village.

The individual combat capabilities of our soldiers are still too poor.

But it doesn’t matter. If you don’t have enough strength, I can make up for it with weapons!

I don’t have guns or cannons, so I’ll make my own!

Others can't do it, but as a top student from a military engineering school, can't I do it easily?

Thinking of this, Chen Yan measured the iron pipe and almost laughed out loud.

"Inner diameter 90mm, wall thickness 5mm, that's enough."

Then he said: "Gou Wa, ask someone to carry these to the ammunition production line in the front yard."

Chen Yan and a group of people worked hard all night long.

Gouwazi was very curious and asked, "Captain, what are you going to do?"

"Mind your own business. Time is tight. Don't disturb me."

Chen Yan asked people to first heat treat the cast iron pipes in a furnace to improve the hardness and toughness of the product.

Then the iron pipe was divided into 1350mm sections using the cutting machine on the ammunition line.

Then the trigger, simple mechanical sights and safety were installed using a welding machine.

Although everyone looked confused, they still got busy following Chen Yan's instructions.

Chen Yan then had people remove the firing pin body, isolation spring and safety fixing pin inside the rifle and install them on the tube.

Okay, the ejection device is done.

All that’s left is to modify the shells.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan asked someone to bring two boxes of Type 97 mortar shells sent by Li Xianren.

Then the tail was cut off with a cutting machine and a ring-shaped tail wing was welded on.

He also asked someone to take out some of the gunpowder from the mortar shells according to a certain proportion.

At this time, the sky was already bright.

Seeing Chen Yan and his group busy and chattering, the soldiers who had just got up to prepare for training gathered around them.

"Brother, you didn't stay up all night with the captain, did you?"

"Shh! Don't disturb the leader's work."

"Oh, alright".

The soldier just now shrank his neck and fell silent.

Finally, in order to improve the overall appearance, Chen Yan also carefully polished the pipe.

"It's finally done."

Chen Yan threw the hammer in his hand to the ground, let out a long sigh, and looked at the fruits of his labor with satisfaction.
