Chapter 26: The Secret of the Landmine

  At this time, the team leader on the side said: Comrade Wu Bing, come over and sit here, we have something to ask you.

  Wu Bing walked up to Cheng's side and said: "Commander, if you have anything to ask, just ask! I'll stand here."

  Commander Cheng stood up with a smile and pressed Wu Bing onto the bench beside him, saying: "Comrade Wu Bing called you over mainly to ask, what did you bury on the battlefield during today's battle with Ma Jiajun?"

  Wu Bing thought to himself: I knew today's commotion was a bit too loud, it would be strange if no one came to ask about it.

  Glancing around the room at the seated leaders, even Wang, the head of the Women's Association, had a curious expression on her face as she looked at Wu Bing, waiting for him to say something.

  Wu Bing smiled and said: "Nothing much, just a landmine!"

  A landmine. The entire house of senior cadres were shocked.

  Yes! Wu Bing stupidly replied.

  Comrade Wu Bing, what you've set up is a landmine, but it's not an ordinary one, is it? Chief Commander Cheng asked with a smile.

  Wu Bing took off his helmet, rubbed his head and said: "Right, it's a landmine, but not an ordinary one. All the commanders have already inspected the battlefield and I believe they've also found some clues."

  Right, we've found some clues. As he spoke, Director Zhao took out a few steel balls from his pocket and placed them on the table.

  Wu Bing looked at the steel balls and continued: Actually, it's the same principle as a hand grenade. Both use explosions to propel shrapnel to injure the enemy. The only difference is that this landmine is filled with steel balls, so its explosive power is even stronger. Let me give you all a brief introduction to this type of landmine.

  This type of mine has 700 steel balls weighing a total of 650 grams on the front, and 680 grams of high-explosive explosive on the back. Once the mine is detonated, the dense steel balls in the 60-120 degree angle range on the front can effectively kill enemies within a range of 50-100 meters.

  Shrapnel can even scatter as far as 250 meters away. Within its effective killing range, no matter whether the enemy is standing or lying down, it's hard to escape the "steel rain" formed by these 700 steel pellets.

  "My dear, it's strange that not a single bandit from the entire battalion managed to escape. If we had this thing, the bandits wouldn't even dare approach our vicinity." A superior officer exclaimed.

  Then he said to Wu Bing: Comrade Wu Bing, do you have any more landmines like this?

  Wu Bing shook his head and said: None left, they were all used in the just concluded battle.

  If we can imitate it, we can inflict heavy casualties on the enemy while defending our position. The commander said.

  Wu Bing heard that he was going to be copied and looked at this leader in surprise, blurting out: It's absolutely impossible to copy!

  Why can't it be imitated?

  Alright, I'll make a few demands, if you can satisfy me, then I'll be able to manufacture for you.

  Can you manufacture large quantities of these steel balls?

  Can you make a powerful explosive like the second Lei body?

  Whenever Wu Bing made a request, everyone would shake their heads, and Wu Bing didn't even ask for his 'nature' anymore.

  He continued: The third is that there are also 'precise' instruments in this landmine, which I know domestically does not have the capability.

  When Wu Bing said that, someone who refused to give up said: Comrade Wu Bing, can you use your family connections to help the troops get some of these landmines?

  Wu Bing sighed and said: "It's not that I'm making excuses, but this kind of landmine is also classified as a confidential weapon abroad. It's impossible to get a large quantity of them. As everyone knows, landmines can't be effectively laid out, so they don't have any effect."

  Moreover, I'd like to say that if we always rely on capturing or buying weapons, then we will always be in a passive position. Being backward means being beaten for decades. In the past, Western powers used their warships and cannons to blast open our country's 'door', precisely because our

  Each technology is backward. To make our armed forces strong, we must cultivate and develop a military-industrial system on a large scale.

  The head sitting in the house nodded frequently, and Li Zhengwei, who was sitting next to Wu Bing, said: "What you said is not wrong, but it's not easy to develop a military-industrial system! Not to mention the equipment needed, just finding the right talent is not an easy task."

  Wu Bing looked at Li Zheng and said: Even in difficulties, we must catch up. If we don't catch up, we will always be zero, forever lagging behind others. Only by mastering advanced technology can we not be controlled by others.

  Yes! Only by mastering advanced technology can we possess advanced weapons and not be controlled by others. When we return to Yan'an, I will definitely report this matter to the Party Central Committee and ask for their approval. Comrade Li said.

  Wu Bing heard this sentence and stood up solemnly saluted Li Zhengde with a military salute.

  This military salute stunned Comrade Li Zhengwei. He said: "Comrade Wu Bing, what are you doing?"

  Wu Bing said: I salute you for our army's early possession of its own military-industrial system, and I salute you for our soldiers.

  Wu Bing said in his heart: I salute you for the future republic.

  Li Zhengwei stood up and said seriously: Comrade Wu Bing, rest assured that I will make a serious report to the Party Central Committee. Everyone present is a witness.

  Without getting entangled in these issues, Li Zhengwei turned to General Cheng beside him and said: Old Cheng, let's discuss the direction of our next move!

  Wu Bing heard this and stood up saying: "If the captain wants to discuss something, then I'll go back first!"

  Li Zhengwei waved his hand and said: Comrade Wu Bing, please sit down first. We also want to hear your opinion. Last time you analyzed the enemy situation quite accurately, which helped us avoid unnecessary losses.

  Wu Bing sighed in his heart: It's not that my analytical skills are strong, these have already become history. I don't know how this history will be rewritten this time.

  Comrade Li Zhengwei took out an old map of the northwest and said: "Now, comrades, we have two routes to march. One is to cross the Gobi Desert directly to Xinjiang's 'Gateway' Xingxing Gorge. The other is to go west on the Ganxin Highway to reach Xinjiang, but the enemy may

  Heavy troops have already been deployed.

  Li Zhengwei looked at Wu Bing and said: "Wu Bing, what do you think?"

  Commander, I think it's safer to march with the Gobi Desert troops. We are now a large-scale army marching in the Gobi Desert, and the enemy does not dare to enter the Gobi Desert to surround us because they do not have heavy troops. If the enemy wants to heavily surround us, they will be at a disadvantage on the Gobi Desert terrain

  Logistics supply is also extremely difficult, and if not handled properly, it will end in annihilation. But the Ganxin Highway is different, as the enemy's logistics are convenient, and the enemy can quickly maneuver along the Ganxin Highway. Most importantly, our entry into the Gobi Desert has left us outside of Ma Bufang's territory.

  They will not enter Gobi in pursuit of us at the cost of some loss to their troops.

  "This is my analysis of the current situation. Please correct me if I'm wrong." Wu Bing said, looking at several leaders.

  Cheng squadron leader waved his hand and said: Wu Bing, you sit down first! Does anyone else have anything to add?
