Chapter 1352 Shock

In any case, although two soldiers were injured, Keren rescued them and snatched back three gas masks. The soldiers quickly put their worries behind and began to think about how to maximize the combat effectiveness of these three gas masks. change.

At this time, Shang Zhen brought a few people to a blacksmith shop in the western suburbs of Gaocheng.

The charcoal fire was already burning, and the soldiers responsible for swinging the hammer and pulling the wind box were sweating profusely.

Big Old Ben used his own practice to prove that those "iron chopsticks" were very useful when killing enemies, but the situation was urgent and he naturally had no chance to take back those sharp weapons.

After he came back, he told Shang Zhen. Shang Zhen inquired, not to mention that there really was a blacksmith shop in the western suburbs of Gao City, and some of the soldiers in the guard company were actually from blacksmith families. So, come on, Shang Zhen will bring some blacksmiths. I asked a few people to make the "iron chopsticks" again.

Although China's current steel production is pitifully small, there is still some inferior iron among the people. What's more, the people have long since fled to avoid the disaster of war. They have scraped here and there to get some inferior iron.

After all, Shang Zhen only planned to re-make some iron chopsticks that could be thrown out within a distance of thirty or forty meters to kill or injure Japanese soldiers, so he did not need any high-quality steel.

"Hey, I said you can just use a hammer to hit the rough blank, but you can't hit it with a fine throw!" The soldier nicknamed Zhao Tiechui trained Huzhu.

"I'm not good at smashing. I'm stronger than you, and you're not that good at arm wrestling!" Hu Zhuzhu didn't listen and hammered down several times, and he smashed the iron bar into a flat shovel.

"You know nothing. If you hit one side hard and the other light, can you throw it out accurately?" Zhao Tiechui scolded in anger.

Hu Zhuzi wanted to talk back again, but Shang Zhen already said: "Hu Zhuzi, don't make trouble, listen to Master!"

A capable person is a teacher, and now he is forging iron chopsticks, so isn’t Zhao Tiechui the master?

Hu Zhuzi didn't say a word and went to smash the rough stuff.

When Shang Zhen saw that the tiger pillar was no longer muddy, he walked away and squatted down in the shade of a big tree more than ten meters away.

Shang Zhen was not interested in blacksmithing. In his opinion, as long as he could break out those "iron chopsticks", the low-quality iron was still iron after all. He still didn't believe that the skin and flesh of the Japanese devils could still be with the mountains. It's like the skin and flesh of a wild boar wallowing in the pine oil, and even bullets can't penetrate it?

This place is on the edge of Gao City, only about 200 meters away from the city wall. It is also on the side of the highway. There are no pedestrians on the road. The occasional pedestrians are just officers and soldiers of the 337th Brigade in a hurry.

However, those officers and soldiers obviously have a mission. When passing by the tinkering blacksmith shop, they will only glance at them curiously but never stop.

Shang Zhen was naturally not interested in the officers and soldiers on the road. When he got tired from squatting, he simply sat cross-legged on the ground and thought wildly.

He thought of his childhood, of his mother who must have passed away now, of all the things he had done since he was a soldier, of Leng Xiaozhi, of Gao Yuyan, of the familiar and unfamiliar companions who had passed away in the war. face.

Tiger could still take a nap, not to mention that Shang Zhen, who was usually very calculating, finally relaxed and wandered in his own world until he was awakened by a burst of laughter in the blacksmith shop.

Shang Zhen looked over when he heard the sound, and saw Hu Zhuzi and Ma Erhuzi urinating into a broken wooden barrel, while Zhao Tiechui picked up a strange-shaped thing that could barely be called pliers, and then He used pliers to hold a formed iron chopstick and inserted it into the wooden barrel.

When the sound of "chi la" came, even from more than ten meters away, Shang Zhen could see the white steam rising from the bucket, and seemed to smell the smell of urine in the air.

It was really like using urine to dip fire. Shang Zhen couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that he had only heard about it.

The so-called dipping into fire means inserting the red-hot iron into the liquid to cool it.

Shang Zhen hasn't read many books, but he has been with Chu Tian and Chen Hanwen for a long time, and he still knows the principles of thermal expansion and contraction.

Put the red-hot iron in cold water. If it is very hot and becomes very cold, the iron will become brittle. If it is brittle, it will break easily. This is roughly the principle.

As for the reason for using urine for cooling, he couldn't figure it out. Maybe it was to avoid too large a temperature difference?

"Company commander, come and pee too. People say children are best at peeing!" Hu Zhuzhu shouted with a smile.

Child urine? Shang Zhen was surprised, but he knew what was going on when he saw Qin Chuan, who had turned his back to him.

How could Huzhu Nahu Wanthuan tease himself with such words? It was obvious that he was being used as a weapon by Qin Chuan!

"Who is this?" Shang Zhen stood up and said with a smile.

"That's Qin Chuan! Qin Chuan said, he's not a boy, so you are the one!" As expected, Hu Zhuzi was very sincere.

It is true to say that Shang Zhen is the company commander, but how can he have any official authority when he is with veterans like himself? He smiled and was about to say something when he suddenly heard someone calling from behind: "Is this Company Commander Shang?"

Shang Zhen turned around and saw four soldiers on the road, but they were almost approaching him. It was obvious that those soldiers came from the west, that is, the Baisha River. Shang Zhen also knew one of the soldiers, that was from the brigade. A messenger there.

"It's great that Captain Shang can find you!" The messenger was very excited.

"Is there an order in the brigade?" Shang Zhen asked with a solemn expression, his smile gone.

"Yes, the brigade commander has an order for our company to deal with a group of Japanese devils." As he spoke, the soldiers came to Shang Zhen.

"Did you know that our third battalion of the 480th Regiment is the battalion of Commander Wei? Commander Wei and his company were plotted against by the Japs, and three of them escaped." The messenger gave Shang Zhen extremely shocking news.

As he spoke, his eyes turned to the three soldiers beside him.

Shang Zhen looked at the three soldiers again. He knew at a glance that these three soldiers had just come down from the battlefield not long ago. It seemed to him that the holes in the soldiers' clothes still smelled of gunpowder smoke. generally.

"A whole company of three came back?" Shang Zhen was really shocked!

Of course he knew who the commander Wei was talking about.

That Battalion Commander Wei was the original company commander of the brigade guard company. It was precisely because that Company Commander Wei became Battalion Commander Wei that he filled the vacancy and was appointed as the company commander.

The person who can be the security company commander is naturally very good, because he is responsible for the security of the brigade headquarters.

Moreover, just some time ago, in order not to attract the attention of the Japanese army on the battlefield, Mr. Wang "lent" all the twenty-ring cannons that their veterans had snatched back to that battalion commander Wei without going through Shang Zhen. As a result, only Shang Zhen in the security company now has a twenty-gun gun.

It stands to reason that with the combat power and firepower of Battalion Commander Wei, how could they only return three people? If there are only three people left in a company, it is no different from being wiped out by the regiment.

But what kind of Japanese army would have such combat effectiveness?

Yes, now the enemy is strong and we are weak. The Japanese army is stronger than the Chinese army in all aspects, but it is impossible to say that a company of the Chinese army can be wiped out directly. Could it be that the Japanese have used poison gas bombs again?

At this time, Shang Zhen was still in shock and wanted to find out the truth.

So he said to the three soldiers: "Come on, tell us what kind of devils you encountered."
