"So, we must practice our own stinging skills. The officers and soldiers of our Independent Regiment will defeat them in the most proud techniques of the Black Hawk Empire Army, smash the pride of the so-called Imperial Army, and make them tremble like lambs to be slaughtered under our stings, but we will not hold back. Whether they are afraid or trapped beasts, we will insert the stings in our hands into their hearts. The bleeding stings are our only answer to the beasts." Liu Lang paused for a moment and looked around for a week.
"Can you do it?"
"And I, can I trust you?"
"Yes, yes, yes~~~"
Everyone present, whether officers, veterans or recruits, waved their arms and shouted loudly.
The loud sound of hundreds of people shouting loudly resounded through the sky, stirring up waves of echoes among the surrounding mountains.
Even the veterans who were still improving the fortifications on the mountain peaks several miles away couldn't help but look here, seeing where these new recruits were crazy, their voices were almost shouting!
After the surrounding mountains and rivers were raising their arms like tsunamis, Liu Lang looked at Cai Dadao and said, "Do you understand now? What determines victory is never a weapon, but a man, a steely will and a determination to move forward. Since your swordsmanship is so outstanding, I promise you to bring your sword in wartime, but you have to cut off the heads of at least three Black Hawk Imperial Army for me. Can you do it?"
"Report to the commander, Cai Dadao promised to complete the task." Cai Dadao's face was solemn and gave Liu Lang a solemn military salute.
Perhaps it was not until this moment that Cai Dadao completely took off the robber's cloak and truly integrated himself into the role of a soldier.
Soldiers, the sharp blade of the country, should never show off their strength in front of their partners, but should only show their edge in front of the enemy.
"Sir, please believe us." The officers and soldiers around also saluted Liu Lang in unison.
This is obviously an extremely successful improvement in ideological awareness.
In the next two weeks, whether it is a recruit or a veteran, not only the practice of stinging skills, but also the practice of other subjects is just as good as playing, and the training results have also improved by leaps and bounds.
Time passed day by day in the hot recruit training, and the hot August entered.
When Liu Lang first established the independent group base, he proposed that the three factories that must be built had already begun to take shape.
The blast furnace of the steel mill has been officially put into operation. If the raw materials are sufficient, it can produce one ton of low-carbon steel per day, thirty tons per month, and 360 tons per year. This is an extremely impressive achievement. You must know that the whole kingdom, steel mills of all sizes, can only produce only 30,000 tons per year.
Liu Lang doesn't need to build tanks and armored vehicles now. Of course, what's more important is that he can't build it even if he wants to. Even if he can build it, Liu Lang doesn't have enough fuel supply. Since the beginning of the industrial age, the kingdom has been a poor country.
The monthly steel output of 30 tons is almost enough for independent groups that only use light weapons and fortress construction.
Qinglong Machinery Factory said it was a machinery factory and had basically become a small military factory. In addition to fully producing 7.92MM bullets suitable for rifles, it was based on Liu Lang's suggestion and developed melon-shaped grenades under the leadership of several old technicians who had received heavy rewards from Wucheng Military Factory in Anchengwan.
Speaking of grenades, almost every Chinese person will see the image of soldiers holding up long-handled grenades and throwing them at the enemy far away. Some soldiers even use long-handled grenades as weapons to smash the enemy's brains into pieces.
Undoubtedly, wooden long-handled grenades have become the standard configuration of the Kingdom Army since their birth.
The wooden long-handled grenade can be manufactured and widely used. Of course, it is not the most critical time that it can be grabbed as a hammerhead to hit people. The throwing distance is long and the throwing is accurate. It can be clustered and tied together as a large bomb to deal with big things like armored vehicles and tanks. It can also prevent rolling down, so as not to throw it out and roll back and blow it into slag.
It can be said that long-handled grenade has many benefits and is worthy of being the favorite of the kingdom's soldiers.
But so many benefits actually exposed one of the shortcomings of the Kingdom army, which is the insufficient firepower suppression on the front line. Grenades were completely used as mortars. Trained soldiers can generally drop grenades fifty or sixty meters away. Principal soldiers even had records of throwing grenades 100 meters away, which was almost the same as the Black Hawk Empire grenade launcher.
The shortcomings of the long-handled grenade are also very fatal. It is not only large in size but also weighs one pound. It is the limit of being able to hang six or eight in one soldier, which is also very unfavorable for soldiers who need front-line firepower to suppress them. So before the war begins, not only the wealthy White Eagle soldiers were equipped with melon-style grenades, but even the Black Hawk Empire Army, which has always been so eager to turn the machine gun into a single shot, equipped the soldiers with grenades and gave up the long-handled grenades.
Of course, these are incomparable to the Kingdom. After finally learning to imitate the M24 grenade of the Zhouhui Kingdom, they will have extra time to develop melon grenades? As for the fatal shortcomings that cannot be brought too much, it is not a problem. If the soldiers of the Kingdom Army who are on the battlefield can bring four grenades, they are treated only by the rich Central Army.
The most deceptive thing is that the wooden handle of the long-handled grenade of the people of Zhouhui was hollow, and it was equipped with leads and firing devices. Wang Guojun didn't know that it was the copycat engineer who simply installed the leads and firing devices in front of the bullet for convenience, so the wooden handle was simply solid.
