The organization and personnel of the garrison company remain unchanged, with 6 infantry platoons plus 1 heavy machine gun platoon, and the level is upgraded to full company level;

The chief officers of each company are as follows:

First Company Commander: Li Qing

Second company commander: Zhang Yu

Third company commander: Lin Xiaofeng

Fourth company commander: Tan Tao

Machine gun battery: Yan Haoyu (gun platoon leader Zhao Hui, heavy machine gun platoon Zhao Dapeng, guard platoon Li Dayuan)

Guard Company: He Zhenhua (also captain of the teaching team)

Cavalry Platoon: Ma Shuai

"Tiger": Chen Xiaohu (Stone)

The main force of the battalion is more than 1,300 people, and the garrison company is more than 500 people;

The armed workers' team in each village has been expanded to 30 people. The captain of the armed workers' team is also the commander of the militia company. There is no limit on the number of people in the militia company.

All 200 cadres supported by the brigade commander were sent to the training team for half a month for intensive training. The purpose was to familiarize them with the tactical system of the independent battalion. After passing the assessment, they were transferred to each company to serve as squad platoon leaders.

If the position is not enough, he can serve as deputy squad leader, or work as a substitute in the militia company. In Chu Xiong's plan, these dozen militia companies will be of great use to him in the future.

Due to the upgrade of the troops, there is still a shortage of nearly 300 soldiers, who have been transferred from the garrison company;

The second round of conscription has begun in the base area, and the total quota this time is still 500.

After the recruitment of new recruits is completed, they are sent to the old camp training team for three months of training, and then replenished to the garrison company to fill the number of soldiers transferred from the garrison company.

This can ensure that every soldier in the main company has been systematically trained for more than several months, and new recruits will no longer join the main company directly.

Since the equipment of a brigade was seized this time, all the troops in the base area were equipped with Japanese weapons, including the militia company.

It turned out that hundreds of national weapons were all replaced and stored in the old camp. All the medium and formal rifles with the best performance were converted into sniper rifles. The shortage scopes were bought on the black market at high prices. Ghost was responsible for this task.

After several battles, the 81mm mortar shells have been almost exhausted. There are more than 50 shells left, which is barely enough to be used once. It is difficult to replenish this.

It is impossible to produce mortars due to the conditions in the base area, especially artillery shells, which are very valuable. Each shot is missing, and it is difficult to find them on the black market.

The troops cannot be without heavy weapons. As a time traveler, Chu Xiong always has to make a difference.

Even if high technology doesn't work, black technology can still do something.

Chu Xiong thought about it and decided that the most suitable black technology to develop was the flying thunder cannon. It also has a popular name "Heartless Cannon".

The advantage of using this gun is that the threshold is not high, it is easy to develop and it is highly lethal;

The disadvantages are short range, poor stability, and low accuracy.

Of course, these shortcomings can also be overcome. By solving the problems of key materials and air tightness, the range will naturally be improved.

For this reason, Chuxiong established a special arsenal in the base area, and the arsenal was located in Laoying.

First, select some people who know a little bit about military industry in the base area to work with him to develop flying thunder cannons. In the early stage, we will focus on the project of flying thunder cannons.

Chu Xiong knew the principle of the flying thunder cannon. In his previous life, he visited the actual object at the Huaihai Battle Memorial Hall. It was actually an explosive bag ejector. It didn't have much technological content and was easy to make.

It is mainly divided into four parts:

The first one is the gun barrel. This is the key material that determines the range and accuracy of the mine gun. Why do modern artillery have a long range?

The core is the gun barrel. High-precision seamless special steel pipes are the core material for making artillery. If the material of the gun barrel is not up to standard, it will easily explode.

The flying thunder cannon is made from local materials, including discarded gasoline barrels. This is a civilian material and can be easily obtained as long as you have money.

In order to increase the probability of a gasoline barrel exploding, several steel hoops were added to the barrel in later generations.

Use a partition board to separate the gasoline barrel into two sections. The base is the propellant and the top is the explosive package to be thrown.

Ignite the propellant. The propellant burns at high speed in the closed space of the base to generate huge kinetic energy. The explosive package that ignites the fuse is thrown out and explodes, killing the enemy's living targets and even blowing up tanks and solid bunkers. It is the earliest treatment

The cure for under-fire phobia!

The propellant uses black powder. If you can get yellow powder, the effect will be better.

There is no technical difficulty in making explosive bags. Craftsmen hundreds of years ago could make them.

Yellow gunpowder and detonators are easy to buy for money. You can just make the explosive bag yourself. In order to increase the lethality of the explosive bag, you can add rusty iron pieces, iron nails, glass slag, ceramic slag and other irregular sharp objects into it. You can even

Add chili powder.

In order to increase the airtightness of the gun barrel and improve the range, Chuxiong used standardized production of explosive packages. The inner wall of the gasoline barrel was polished and the explosive packages were tied into a disk shape. Each explosive package weighed 8 kilograms and contained high-explosive materials.

5 kilograms of yellow gunpowder.

In order to further increase accuracy, he also welded a simple physical sight to the barrel.

After several days of preparation, the first thunder cannon in the base was completed. To ensure safety, the fuse of the first explosive package was set to explode for one minute.

"Battal Commander, can this thing be done?"

Shitou asked curiously.

"Stone, please remove that!"

Chu Xiong said very confidently.

Although Shitou had doubts, he still volunteered to seize the right to ignite the first cannon. The men in Wei seemed to value this inexplicably!

I saw the stone igniting the fuse of the launcher with a match, and the gunpowder in the base burned at high speed, igniting the fuse of the explosive bag at the bottom.

The high-speed combustion of the base gunpowder caused an explosion in the confined space, and the huge kinetic energy instantly ejected the explosive package.

The explosive package drew a beautiful parabola in the air and landed heavily on the open space 300 meters away. After landing, the explosive package bounced up again and fell to the ground again...

"Company Commander, why hasn't it exploded yet? Dumb——"

Before Shitou could say the word "fire", he heard a loud bang, and the explosive package exploded without any suspense. A few hundred meters away, Shitou's ears were shaken.

Chu Xiong said very apologetically:

"Sorry, the power is a bit too strong!"

"It's not big, no matter how powerful it is to blow up the Japanese, I won't mind it!"

After Shitou finished speaking, he ran to the scene to see the explosion effect.

"My dear mother, I like this power!"

Shitou was really shocked. The blast within a radius of dozens of meters was horrific. A huge hole was also blasted on the ground, and all the surrounding flowers and plants were destroyed.

"The fuse is too long! One third needs to be cut off. The throw distance is too close. To reduce the weight of the explosive package, 6 kilograms is enough!"

"The explosive packets need to be tied tighter! Add one or two more propellants!"

Chu Xiong said while other technicians were taking notes. This requires trial and error. His expected value is 500 to 600 meters, and the accuracy is within 5 meters.

After Chu Xiong opened a skylight for them, he left the rest to the technicians, striving to get it out as soon as possible and finalize it for production. He could not wait to have a flying thunder cannon battery.
Chapter completed!
