Bright Sword: I am an undercover agent in the puppet army

Chapter 6: One nitrate, two sulfur, three charcoal, add some sugar, Big Ivan, shocked Old Li! Start a shopping spree!
Zhao Gang next to him said, "Old Li, don't jump to conclusions. Through your description of Xu Yang, I found that he actually helped our Eighth Route Army a lot, at least he never persecuted or opposed our Eighth Route Army.

So, is it possible that Xu Yang is an intelligence worker who has infiltrated the enemy's interior, or that he has always had the idea of ​​rebelling?

The arrest of Staff Officer Liang just happened to be an opportunity. "

Li Yunlong also fell into deep thought, while Kong Jie's eyes lit up, as if he saw hope. He really didn't believe that his old subordinate would betray the party and the country.

Zhao Gang added: "Of course, everything is just our speculation and there is no actual evidence.

Next, we just need to see whether the fertilizer powder can be made into high explosives to determine whether Staff Officer Liang is lying."

"That makes sense." Li Yunlong nodded.

Kong Jie fell into worry again. If fertilizer powder could really be made into high explosives, would the Japanese still sell it so hard?

But if high explosives cannot be made, what Staff Officer Liang said would be too untenable.

At this time, Zhang Dabiao suddenly rushed in from outside: "Captain, Political Commissar, Deputy Commander, the explosives are ready."

"Oh? Really?"

Li Yunlong suddenly became interested, his eyes lit up, and he stood up and walked out quickly.

Zhao Gang and Kong Jie followed closely behind.

After leaving the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong couldn't wait to ask, "Staff Officer Liang, are the explosives almost ready?"

Staff Officer Liang carefully spread the sticky mixture in the pot under the sun and said, "It's ready, but it still needs to be dried and then crushed into powder using a stone mill."

Li Yunlong nodded.

Staff Officer Liang prepared another pot of fertilizer powder with sugar added.

The sun in March is not very warm and we cannot use fire to bake the explosives, so the prepared explosives can only be slowly dried in the sun to evaporate the moisture inside bit by bit.

Next, Li Yunlong and his companions fell into a long wait.

It wasn't until five in the afternoon, when the sun was about to set, that it was finally dried.

"Quick, grind this thing into powder using a millstone."

Kong Jie couldn't wait to spread the dried explosives on the grinding table and push the stone mill to grind them.

Liang Kang on the side hurriedly reminded: "Deputy Captain, this explosive is flammable and explosive, you must be careful and press it slowly."

"Okay, okay, I get it."

The reason why Kong Jie was so anxious was that he wanted to prove Liang Kang's innocence as soon as possible. By then, the other party would not only be able to clear his suspicion but also make a great contribution. Let's see what Li Dayehu would have to say!
Ten minutes later.

Both explosives were crushed into powder.

Kong Jie put the powder into two ceramic jars prepared in advance, inserted the fuse, and sealed the filling mouth with yellow mud, leaving only a fuse connecting to the explosives inside.

The two homemade bombs were completed.

Then, Kong Jie dug pits to bury the two earth bombs and covered them with stones and soil.

Light the fuse again and run away quickly!

About a minute later, accompanied by a loud bang, a huge mushroom cloud of smoke rose from the ground, and countless pieces of rubble and soil flew everywhere, smashing hundreds of meters away.

Even though they were more than 300 meters away, Li Yunlong and his companions' ears were buzzing from the shock and they couldn't recover for a long time.

Watching the large pieces of rubble splashing past their heads, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and the others secretly felt lucky that they were hiding under the embankment. Otherwise, if they had stood stupidly in the open area watching, an accident might have happened.

Li Yunlong was the first to come to his senses: "Can the Japanese's fertile field powder really be made into high explosives?"

The most excited ones were Kong Jie and Liang Kang.

Kong Jie said: "Not only can it be made into high explosives, but the power of this explosive is at least dozens of times greater than the black powder made in the border areas.

Even compared to the yellow explosives used by the Japanese grenades, it is even worse.”

Li Yunlong's eyes sparkled: "Hahaha! We're rich, we're rich, we must buy back all the Japs' fertilizer powder!" "It just so happens that we just made a lot of extra money in Wanjia Town."

Zhao Gang next to him said: "Old Li, a single flower does not make spring, a hundred flowers in full bloom make spring in the garden. It is impossible for our independent regiment to defeat the powerful Japanese invaders alone. Only when all the teams of our Eighth Route Army become strong can we defeat the Japanese invaders.

Therefore, we must report this matter to the brigade, or even the headquarters."

Li Yunlong still had this awareness, and he said: "Of course, but the fertilizer powder bought with our money, the grenades and explosive packs made from it, must all belong to my independent regiment.

Also, since we have made such a great contribution this time, the brigade commander and the general must give us the rewards we deserve!"

Zhao Gang said speechlessly: "You have to talk to the brigade commander and the boss about this. It's no use telling me."

Li Yunlong: "..."

Kong Jie said: "Let's go and take a look at the crater."

Then everyone climbed up the embankment and walked towards the explosion point more than 300 meters away.

Then, everyone was immediately stunned by the scene before them. They saw a horrific crater more than half a meter deep and more than two meters in diameter.

Li Yunlong said: "Tsk tsk tsk, this power is even more powerful than the Japanese's large-caliber howitzers.

Lao Kong, how much explosives did you load?"

Kong Jie: "About five kilograms."

Staff Officer Liang seemed to have thought of something and asked Kong Jie, "Deputy Commander, did you add sugar to the bomb you just detonated, or did you not add sugar?"

Kong Jie: “No sugar is added.”

"Hurry up and detonate the bomb that has sugar in it!"

Li Yunlong urged loudly, he couldn't wait any longer. According to the description in the manual, the power of the explosives with added sugar would be increased by at least several times.

Explosives without added sugar are so powerful, how powerful would explosives with added sugar be?

Soon, another earth bomb was detonated.

"Boom!"

Feeling the huge shock wave coming from the ground, Li Yunlong said happily: "Adding sugar really makes the power several times greater!"

"Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan, Wang Huaibao, get ready. We need to take action tomorrow morning and buy back all the fertilizer powder sold by the puppet army!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Dabiao and several others stepped forward to agree.

Liang Kang said with some concern: "Captain, I have already promised Xu Yang that if the experiment is successful and the fertilizer powder can really be made into explosives, then our Eighth Route Army can only buy the fertilizer powder from him."

Zhao Gang, Kong Jie and others fell silent.

Li Yunlong did not play by the rules: "Fuck him, how much Feitian powder does he have?
We will buy the Feitian powder from him, but I will also buy the Feitian powder from other puppet soldiers!"

Liang Kang: "But Xu Yang promised me that if I buy fertilizer powder from him, I will give him an extra 100 kilograms of sugar for every 5 kilograms I buy."

Li Yunlong was silent. Sugar is a strategic material.

Putting aside the fact that it can increase the power of explosives, as food alone, its energy far exceeds that of ordinary grains.

Liang Kang added: "Xu Yang also said that if we buy fertilizer powder from other puppet troops, he will tell the devils the secret that fertilizer powder can be made into explosives."

Li Yunlong was furious: "How dare he! I'll kill him!"

But soon, he was like a king cobra being caught by Xu Yang, and he shrank: "Okay, okay, I'll buy it from him, okay?

We can also earn an extra 5% of sugar, so this deal is a win for us no matter how you look at it!"
