Chapter 468: Asahi Grenade

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    For the militia, grenades are more practical than guns.

    Guns require training and exploration. A layman may be able to learn to shoot in a short period of time, but he will definitely not be able to learn to hit the target accurately. Of course, except for a few talented people, most people lack this kind of talent.

    Therefore, they have to go through a lot of training, which consumes bullets. The guerrillas are not so rich.

    Grenade is different, everyone can use grenade, herding sheep on the hillside, who has not thrown stones to drive sheep?  The aiming head is very high, and it is not much worse if it is replaced with a grenade.

    Moreover, building guns obviously requires more effort. Grenades and disposable weapons are easier. It may not be possible to give people a gun, but it is still possible to distribute a grenade.

    So, after being able to make their own guns, everyone is looking forward to making grenades even more, but, unexpectedly, they were rejected by that teacher Zhang. That teacher Zhang, who looks like his belly is full of ink, can't live or die  Will you tell yourself how about we make grenades?

    Zhang Daguang was annoyed by being entangled, so he told them to go to Qin Baoshan. If Qin Baoshan agreed, he could teach them how to make it. If Qin Baoshan didn't agree, then don't say anything.

    After coming here, I finally heard Qin Baoshan's introduction on how to dig the tunnel, and I was all excited, so I forgot about it. Now, I finally remembered it, and immediately told Qin Baoshan.

    "We need a grenade." Gao Chuanbao said: "Besides, this grenade is not a big deal. The outer shell is made of our pig iron, and the wooden handle is placed underneath. Gunpowder is stuffed inside, and a rope is used to pull it. There is no technical content.  Why can't we make it?"

    Listening to Gao Chuanbao's words, Qin Baoshan nodded: "Yes, if it is such a grenade, of course we can make it, but such a grenade is too powerful."

    Don't underestimate the small grenade, even in the Huangyadong Arsenal, it hurt a lot of people, and finally there is a perfect process.

    You can stuff black gunpowder in it, that is, your own homemade mononitrate, two sulfonate and three charcoal, but this kind of grenade is a big artillery battle, and its power is not strong enough at all.

    "If you want the grenade to be powerful enough, you need a special high explosive, and this kind of high explosive needs a special detonator to detonate. The shell and wooden handle can be produced by Gaozhuang itself, but,  High explosives and special detonators, so far, only our base can manufacture, and the output is not much, and they are mainly supplied to the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and we, the militia organizations, are not yet able to do so.¡±

    The production capacity of the Huangyadong base is constantly improving. As Qin Baoshan gets more and more machines, it is getting more and more prosperous. However, the Eighth Route Army is expanding faster, so the supply has always been in short supply.

    If the output can keep up, it is completely possible to provide some detonators and explosives to the local troops and let them make their own grenades.

    Even, in the base, even this kind of special grenade production was designed, but in the end it was still stuck on the explosives and detonators.

    Can we decentralize the production, teach them the craft, and let the people below produce by themselves?

    Of course not.

    One of the important issues is the danger, the production is dangerous, the products produced are substandard, and it is dangerous to use.

    The grenade looks simple, pull the drawstring, fly out with smoke, and when it flies past, it just explodes.

    Among other things, just the delayed fuze is a big problem.  If it is unqualified, the delay is not up to standard, and if it is thrown over, the enemy can still pick it up and throw it back, or it will explode after pulling the drawstring in his hand, accidentally injuring himself.

    It is precisely because of these considerations that Zhang Daguang did not pass on the production technology of grenades easily, at least not at the village level.

    Of course, they came out to develop the military industry. However, they also need to find higher-level units, such as the first level of the military division, to join their technicians, and use their tank towers in Huangya Cave to make sulfuric acid, etc.  They have been taught all the technologies, let them produce their own high explosives, nitric acid, detonators, etc., which is equivalent to a branch of the Eighth Route Army's explosives factory.

    This matter must be done, but not now.  Since explosives and detonators are gone, now they are clamoring to make grenades, so there is no way.

    Shi Yude frowned, listened to Qin Baoshan's introduction of various technical problems, suddenly thought of something, and said: "In the early years, during our Red Army period, we produced a large number of hemp tail grenades.This technique is the simplest. Can we pass on this technique and let our local forces make this kind of grenade by themselves?  "

    Shi Yude is also an old revolutionary. In the early years, he climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed grasslands. He was almost a veteran of the same period as Li Yunlong. Now, thinking of what happened back then, he couldn't help but say it.

    In various movies and TV dramas, it is almost rare to see this kind of hemp tail grenade. It seems that an ordinary old man can also be assigned a wooden handle grenade. In fact, hemp tail grenade was quite popular in the early anti-Japanese war  of common.

    This kind of grenade has a metal body in front, and a long rope about half a meter behind it, usually hemp rope, so it is also called hemp tail grenade.  It also looks like a horse's tail, so it is sometimes called a horsetail grenade.

    The round projectile has a thick hemp rope tied behind it, a bit like an ancient weapon, a meteor hammer, and a bit like a super-sized tadpole.

    The front egg-shaped shell is made of cast iron, with an outer diameter of about 55mm and a length of about 93mm. This is not fixed, because it is easy to manufacture, so many factories are producing it.

    Its appearance has prefabricated small vertical and horizontal grooves, and is equipped with a firing mechanism consisting of a firing pin, firing pin spring, primer, etc. Although it is called a grenade, its principle is very different from that of a grenade.

    It does not require a delay.

    To put it simply, this is a large throwing cannon. When it is thrown out, it will explode when it hits the ground. The hemp rope at the end is mainly for the convenience of throwing, and it can be thrown very far. Using modern physics knowledge  In other words, the larger the radius, the greater the linear speed outside, and the longer the flying distance, the ancient horse bandits must have a deep understanding.

    At the same time, this rope can also ensure that when it falls, the front end of the projectile will land first, because only when it hits the ground can it detonate normally.

    Due to its simple structure, domestic production began in the mid-1920s.

    Many factories in Shanghai, Jinling, and Guangxi are in production, especially the Jinling Bomb Factory, which imitated the "new grenade" of Mawei in 1926, and called it "white iron assault grenade" and "pig iron firing pin grenade".  It was well received by the generals of the Northern Expedition when it was performed at Shougouling in Guangzhou, so it was produced on a large scale and used on a large scale during the Northern Expedition.  In the 1930s, local warlord forces also used this kind of grenade.

    The New Fourth Army in the south has been producing all the time, and each division can organize production by itself, and the output is quite large.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
