Chapter 124 Dragon Breath Bomb?
Nanniwan, Shaanxi.
"Wang Huzi, how many acres of land have you reclaimed?"
"We have been planting for two or three days, why hasn't it been finished yet?"
A man wearing glasses buried a piece of sugarcane with a germ in it into the soil.
Then he straightened up and patted his waist, and couldn't help asking the bearded man next to him.
"Commander, I've already told you that you can go back after you finish your inspection. You have to help plant the trees."
Wang Huzi said helplessly: "Since the end of last year, the commander issued an order to our 359th Brigade."
"We dare not delay even a moment, and we have reclaimed 20,000 mu of land so far."
"Wow, that's amazing!"
All the central leaders present were astonished when they heard this.
"Haha, comrades from the 359th Brigade, you are all great!"
The dignified man smiled and said, "We should call on the entire army to learn from the 359th Brigade. We must keep our guns strong and not throw away our hoes!"
"Well, that makes sense. When I get back, I'll write an article and publish it in the Victory Daily, so that the entire army can learn from the 359th Brigade!"
The elegant man echoed.
"Oh, that's not possible!"
Wang Huzi on the side tried to persuade him hypocritically.
"Hahaha, you Wang Huzi, if you want to be famous, you should be humble!"
With the teasing, the atmosphere at the scene became cheerful, but one of the men with a domineering aura did not seem to be very happy.
"Deputy Commander, why do you look so unhappy?"
The majestic man asked the domineering man.
"Hey, Zhu En, you know me. The military regions are currently in the construction phase, and I'm really worried about them!"
The domineering man said worriedly.
"The construction of each military region is under the command of the general commander. We asked you to come to Yan'an this time because there are more important things!"
The dignified man put down a piece of sugarcane with germs and said, "I believe you have heard that the central government is preparing to restart the "West Route Army Plan"
"Western Route Army Plan?"
The domineering man's heart moved, and he asked in a slightly calm tone: "Does Zhuen want me to lead this plan?"
"Ok!"
The majestic man smiled and said, "If we want to deal with those horses, after much thought, we think you are the most suitable one!"
"Then leave it to me!"
The domineering man threw away the hoe in his hand and said with murderous intent: "This time I will make them pay with blood!"
Regarding the undisguised killing intention of the domineering man, the majestic man did not try to persuade him, but simply said: "We will form a new army for you."
"The number of troops in this unit is tentatively set at 21,800, all of whom will use Taihang-style weapons. I only have one request, that every wrong done must be brought to justice!!!"
"Hahaha, don't worry, Zhuren!"
The domineering man said firmly: "This time with the weapons made by Section Chief Zhao, those horses are already dead horses in my eyes!"

Huangya Cave.
"Ah, who is saying bad things about me behind my back?"
Zhao Tianyang rubbed his nose, put down his pen, picked up the blueprint in front of him, and looked at it carefully: "Okay, I'll call you a tank destroyer!"
Then he put down the drawing, took out a few sheets of white paper and continued drawing. He had a lot of inspiration, and one tank destroyer was not enough.
In the evening, while eating, Zhao Tianyang came to Liu Ding and asked while eating.
"How is the research on armor-piercing bullets going?"
"almost."
Liu Ding replied: "We have done some research and are preparing to prepare a high-strength armor-piercing steel to make the bullet warhead."
"It relies on its inherent hardness to penetrate tank armor."
"That's easy!"
Zhao Tianyang said casually: "We have a lot of tungsten mines in Changzhi, so we can make tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets."
"Then put some incendiary materials inside, and once it hits the Japanese tank, it will explode immediately."
"Give me a tin-pot roast suckling pig!"
"This is good, this is good!"
Liu Guifu, who was standing by, listened with eyes that lit up: "Comrade Liu Ding, let's do this!"
"Fine!"
Looking at his extremely excited colleagues around him, Liu Ding smiled and agreed. To be honest, he also wanted to see the roasted suckling pig in a tin.
"Any idea about the engine?"
After solving the problem of armor-piercing bullets, Zhao Tianyang came to Yu Xiaping again with the bowl in his hand.
"Yes, we are going to go with a liquid-cooled, inline six-cylinder model."
Yu Xiaping answered honestly: "According to the advice and help of Comrade Shen Hong and Cheng Mingsheng, I have almost finished drawing the blueprint."
"very good."
Zhao Tianyang patted Yu Xiaping on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Keep up the good work!"
For the next period of time, Zhao Tianyang devoted himself to drawing the blueprints.
Until Liu Guifu ran excitedly into his tent and called him to the training ground in the back mountain.
"Chief, look, this is the tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet we just made."
Liu Ding put a pointed bullet that was shining with cold light and much heavier than an ordinary bullet into Zhao Tianyang's hand.
"It looks pretty intimidating."
Zhao Tianyang raised the weight and said, "I just don't know if it will explode after firing."
"That is required!"
Liu Guifu boasted excitedly: "We added napalm and white phosphorus to it, it's definitely strong enough!"
"Then give it a try!"
Zhao Tianyang handed the bullet to the gun inspector beside him.
The gun inspector took the 7.92X60mm bullet and loaded it into the Taihang Type 38 general-purpose machine gun.
He aimed at a 12mm steel plate one thousand meters ahead and pulled the trigger.
With a "bang", a silver-gray pointed bullet flew quickly towards the steel plate.
Under the violent impact of the tungsten alloy tip, the 12 mm steel plate was penetrated almost instantly.
Looking at the napalm that continued to burn on the steel plate after a loud bang, Zhao Tianyang was puzzled.
"It's powerful enough to even fight against the Japanese Type 97 tanks. But why does the fire look so small?"
"There's nothing we can do. Although we have tried to increase the charge as much as possible, you also know that bullets and shells are different."
Liu Ding explained with a wry smile.
The fact that the bullets were loaded with this little bit of napalm and white phosphorus was the result of several days of hard work by him and Liu Guifu.
"Well, it's better to have it than nothing. Even though one bullet is a little less, if you add up the bullets, it will be a lot."
Zhao Tianyang nodded regretfully.
"Let's try the 20mm thick steel plate next!"
Zhao Tianyang calmed himself down and said to the gun inspector.
"Yes."
After testing, it was finally confirmed that tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets are powerful.
Although it cannot penetrate a 20mm steel plate at a distance of one thousand meters, it can penetrate it easily if the distance is brought closer to five hundred meters.
"nice one!"
The gun inspector's eyes turned red as he looked at the armor-piercing bullet in his hand.
If they had these bullets at the beginning, they wouldn't have to risk human lives to fight the Japanese tanks!
"Okay, stop being sad, it's time to go back."
After Zhao Tianyang comforted the gun inspector, he instructed Liu Ding: "When you return, start producing tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets immediately."
"Yes."
