194 Fighting and Farming Potatoes

 ...Anything from the Independent Regiment or even the Eighth Route Army that has anything to do with weapons is labeled "Dong San" or "Third Brother". This seems to have become Dong San's ultimate pursuit.

Dong San became more and more excited the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it the more excited he became.

"By the way, Captain, you inspired me before that you can use wires and current to remotely detonate explosive packets. Then I thought, is it a special method related to circuits that can make similar explosive packets?

?"

"Everything is fine when the circuit is broken, but once the circuit is closed, an explosion will occur immediately. This seems to be the simple core idea of ​​using circuits to control explosions."

"Then I thought carefully about how to use this characteristic. I suddenly thought of the Japanese railroad tracks we were conducting during the raid. What if I used the railroad tracks that pressed over the circuit to completely close the entire circuit?"

"Does that mean that we can bury this kind of side bomb we made on the Japanese railroad tracks? As long as the Japanese train passes by, it will immediately cause an explosion. It is powerful enough to even blow up the Japanese train.

!"

Kong Jie was startled, and suddenly realized that he had picked up a monster talent in the prisoner of war camp.

This kid Dong San is completely self-taught!

He had indeed thought about rail bombs, but he had figured it out on his own before he told Dong San.

Sometimes thoughts are so strange. As long as you successfully open an opening, many things will come out naturally.

While feeling emotional, Kong Jie put his hand on Dong San's shoulder and said earnestly: "Good boy, do your best, I'm optimistic about you. Since we are engaged in military industry, we should have unconstrained ideas and not be constrained by old ideas."
"Bombs can be detonated remotely, on railway tracks, or even on time using an alarm clock."

"The use of artillery includes indirect fire, direct fire, small caliber, and large caliber, but they all lead to the same goal. The principles are similar. For example, the Japanese grenades rely on the firing pin, air tightness, and

The push of the gunpowder bag."

"We can make use of these things, but we can also put aside these specific theories and transform and innovate our own weapons."

"You must learn to be flexible in your thinking. For example, the Japanese grenade launcher is indeed a straight shot, and the shells fired follow a curved parabola."

"But if it is within a certain distance, such as two hundred or even one hundred meters of artillery range, then do the shells fired tend to be quite close to a straight line?"

"If we lay the grenade barrel flat at this time and no longer point it in the air, can it be used as a direct-fire artillery to deal with the Japanese turrets?"

"Yes! Why didn't I think of that!" Dong San suddenly realized.

"In addition, don't forget the wisdom left by our ancestors. You can take the essence and discard the dross."

"For example, the trebuchet used in ancient warfare can throw heavy stones hundreds of meters away. How about we use the trebuchet to project explosive packets? How about projecting magic hand grenades?"

"For example, the mortars of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Our independent regiment lacks large-caliber artillery for attacking fortifications! If we use the principle of mortars, what caliber should we build? You can just take a gasoline barrel, as long as it is airtight.

, with a reasonable explosive package set at the bottom to push the shells out, it can also become a large-caliber artillery for attacking fortresses."

"Do grenades have to be thrown by hand? Why can't they be fired? For example, if a grenade can be fired with a rifle, can it go much farther than if you throw it by hand?"

"Heavy machine guns have poor maneuverability, so you make them run with long legs; grenade tubes have small caliber and short range, so you can increase their caliber and range, perhaps by adding more gunpowder launch packs; tanks

The iron sheet is thick, but why can't a bullet directly penetrate it? If a bullet can directly penetrate even the armor of a tank, can it ignore the defense of the Japanese masonry turret?"

"So what should we do? Think about the problem from the structure of the bullet, and think from the launch of the firearm."

"Why do so-called attack weapons have to be artillery? Can't bullets be used?"

"I heard that some countries in Europe have weapons that can reach this level. Why can't we?"

……

……

This is called standing on the shoulders of giants without fear of back pain. Kong Jie said whatever he thought of.

Anyway, this guy Zhi San is a talented guy, so I’m not afraid of getting him damaged.

Because these are all situations that will be realized in the future.

So even though Dong San's ears were a bit shocked by the unreasonable meaning, Dong San thought about it and suddenly found that it seemed to be very reasonable and feasible.

Seeing that Dong San seemed a little dull, Kong Jie said with a smile: "Okay, that's all I have to say. You think about it slowly, there is still a long way to go to repair the weapon! You have to be more confident, you are a talented guy."<

/p>

Looking at the back of Kong Jie gradually walking away, Dong San solemnly saluted Kong Jie in the direction of the military salute, and then murmured: "Captain, you are the talent!"

Time bomb!

A heavy machine gun that can run!

Bullets that can penetrate tank armor!

The bullet that penetrated the Japanese gun tower!

A flat-firing grenade...

All these reveries, heaven and man are at war in Dong San’s mind.

Dong San's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his eyes were full of fire... If these weapons could be researched and used to fight the little devils, wouldn't it be just fun!

Of course, Dong San is still aware of the reality. Although the conditions of the current repair shop are pretty good, it is not that easy to invent these new weapons mentioned by the regiment leader Kong Jie!

"Mortars! Just gasoline barrels? As long as the explosives are enough, wouldn't it be possible to directly use artillery shells to destroy any target in one fell swoop? Damn, this is so heartless! But it is really exciting!"

……

On the cultivated land on the south side of the station.

Kong Jicai didn't bother to care about the impact of his words on Dong San. He felt very happy when he said all the ideas in one go.

As for whether Dong San can develop those weapons, no one can say, but it is always good to have a direction.

There are some people busy in the farmland.

When Kong Jie rushed over, one of the elders looked up and saw him. He quickly came over and said enthusiastically: "Commander Kong, here you come!"

Kong Jie smiled and said: "Uncle Zhao, how is the situation of potato planting? I followed your instructions. The soldiers who were stationed before defecated and peed in the prescribed places. All this farmyard manure was saved for you.

Get up."

Zhao Wu is the oldest among the farmers in front of us. He is over fifty this year. People in Xinzhuang say that Uncle Zhao has been farming all his life and has the most experience in farming, especially in growing potatoes.

Uncle Zhao is very experienced.

So Kong Jie invited Uncle Zhao and a farming team from Xinzhuang to the station.

Taking care of food and drink, paying wages, and taking into account the wishes of the people, Zhao Wu and his party are naturally happy.

At this moment, Kong Jie asked, Zhao Wu confidently said: "Commander Kong, don't worry! Understanding the habits of this potato is the same as understanding your own child."

"Potatoes eat very much fertilizer. I have already watered all the farmyard manure in this field in the early stages. Before planting, the entire soil was plowed deeply. The soil is now very fertile."

"Also, I don't quite understand what you are talking about about potato detoxification, but I guess I understand what it means. According to our experience in the countryside, just smear the potato seeds with plant ash, and the effect will be very good."
"This potato likes a cool and humid environment. According to the temperature in Shanxi, this season is the most suitable for planting. It will take three to two months and the harvest will be around November."

"In front of you, Commander Kong, look at it. The seedlings have already grown. These seedlings are much stronger than the potato seedlings I usually see!"

Having said this, Zhao Wu came closer and asked: "Captain Kong, to be honest, I have never seen such a big potato seed. I can see that these fifty kilograms of potatoes are extraordinary!"
Kong Jie thought to himself, this is a high-quality potato variety, so naturally it is extraordinary.

The potato seedlings in the field have indeed grown, and some of them have grown quickly and have even taken shape. If you look closely, you will find that these high-quality potatoes have an upright plant shape, lush clumps, thick stems, fat compound leaves, and dark green leaves.<

/p>

It is obvious that he has grown up very healthily. It seems that Zhao Wu’s potato planting experience is indeed extraordinary.

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Yes, Uncle Zhao, let me tell you secretly, these are a batch of good potato seeds seized from the Japs. If fertilized properly, the yield per acre can even be as high as several thousand kilograms."

"How many kilograms! Oh my god!" Zhao and the other five were stunned.

Even for an experienced farmer like him, the yield of potatoes grown per acre is only a few hundred kilograms.

What is the concept of several thousand kilograms!

Seeing Zhao Wu's shock, Kong Jie said: "So I asked you to plant these fifty kilograms of potatoes. After harvesting in the future, we will continue to expand the planting as potatoes. It is no exaggeration to say that with these fifty kilograms,

Mother and child potatoes are planted and multiplied. Our base area, including the surrounding villagers, can even rely on these potatoes to avoid starvation in the future."

Zhao Wu was already stunned, "Captain Kong, are these potato seeds really as good as you say?"

"If you don't believe it, you will know when these half acres of potatoes are harvested."

Zhao Wu was also a smart farmer and said quickly: "If this is really going to be like this, Commander Kong, if you invite us to farm the land, you won't get the salary. When the potatoes are grown, you will share them."

A few dozen kilograms will be taken back to expand planting."

Kong Jile said: "You, as long as you help our Eighth Route Army with these potatoes, your salary will not be less than a penny. When the time comes, as extra reward, I will give you dozens of kilograms of potatoes like this. Look,

How?"

"Hey, Commander Kong, thank you very much!"

Kong Jie smiled and nodded, and chatted with Zhao Wu about potato planting. Kong Jie reminded Zhao Wu to pay more attention to some matters with a higher vision, and then left.

Kong Jie can feel a little relieved after the potato issue is solved so that the soldiers and civilians in the base area will no longer be hungry...
