Compared with the 81mm caliber mortar equipped by the National Salvation Army, the barrels of the two mortars in front of them are longer, and it looks almost 1.5 meters tall.

The caliber of the mortar is also larger, at least one hundred millimeters to go up.

The leader of the firepower team ran over and started to shine: "Captain, this is a 120mm caliber medium-sized mortar, which is only available at the level of the Japanese Infantry Corps or above. The effective range is more than five kilometers. The shell is much more powerful than ordinary mountain artillery guns. If a shell is hit, the effective killing radius will exceed twenty meters. If the enemy is not lucky, it is within a radius of ten meters. Even if there is a bunker hiding, it will be shaken to internal injuries by the shock wave. Why don't we move these two mortars back?"

Due to lack of resources, both the Chinese army and the Japanese army called artillery with a caliber of more than 100 mm heavy artillery. Although the artillery in front of us was only two mortars, it was still included in the category of heavy artillery because of its great power.

If the National Salvation Army can really equip two balls and fight against the Japanese mountain artillery troops in the future, these two mortars can be placed outside the effective range of the mountain artillery to shoot against them. No matter how strong the Japanese mountain artillery troops are, they can only be beaten passively.

Zhou Cheng was moved when he heard the idea of ​​the leader of the firepower team, but the mortar in front of him was too heavy, with more than 100 kilograms of cannon barrels alone, which was not counting the weight of the base and bracket. There were only a dozen people in the reconnaissance team participating in the operation tonight. He was worried that time was limited and he could not transport it: "Will it be too heavy!"

The firepower team leader was very jealous of the two mortars and immediately promised: "It's not heavy. We can transport the mortars out in just two trips in a group of four of us, and then transport the shells!"

"As long as the regiment commander agrees, the firepower team will definitely transport all the two mortars and supporting shells within the specified time!"

Zhou Cheng could not withstand the temptation, and hesitated for only three or four seconds before making a decision: "Then I will hand over these two mortars and supporting shells to you..."

"After the transportation, go to the workshop to find out if there is any gun scope. Every time in a war, the Japanese will destroy the gun scope before defeat. Our artillery battalion has only two gun scopes, and there is not even a single firepower. Using guns depends entirely on experience to calculate the shooting personnel. The error is too large, so it is definitely not a match for the Japanese."

After seeing the artillery production workshop, Zhou Cheng went straight to the gunpowder production workshop of the arsenal.

Compared with the messy workshops, it is much more neat.

Finished gunpowder and raw materials are either loaded in boxes or in wooden barrels.

Following the list and the location map of the raw materials in hand, Zhou Cheng quickly found several special raw materials for producing gunpowder.

The importance of these raw materials can be seen from the installation of their tools.

They were all filled with glass jars, with seals on them.

Zhou Cheng was overjoyed because with these raw materials, the arsenals under the National Salvation Army could produce detonators, firing drugs and launch drugs on a large scale.

With these gunpowder, the arsenal can produce various bullets, grenades, and even shells on a large scale...

Zhou Cheng suppressed his excitement and ordered very seriously: "Transfer all these jars immediately, and transport one jar at a time by one person. We would rather slow down and transport them a few more times than let the raw materials in the jars have problems!"

When Zhou Cheng returned to the gun repair workshop again, the commandos who stayed here had found the drill bits and broaches they needed, and found hundreds of barrels that had been rifled and three machine guns that were at least twice as large as those built in the Czech Republic.

"Captain, all the things that are useful to us in this workshop are here. The caliber of these three machine guns is more than ten millimeters. We don't have the National Salvation Army. It must be a treasure. I want to transport them out together." Wang Tieshan introduced happily.

Zhou Cheng had to be much more knowledgeable and made a judgment after taking a look at three machine guns: "They are air-resistant and anti-aircraft machine guns, and they are indeed treasures. I didn't expect that there were such treasures in the gun repair workshop, so of course they had to be transported out."

"Looking again, anti-aircraft machine guns are the most expensive. There must be their spare barrels in the workshop, and they will be all recycled. There are also supporting bullets to be transported back. If there is no ammunition, the machine gun will be a pile of scrap iron when taken back."

At four o'clock in the morning, the transportation of the reconnaissance team continued.

The Japanese army's defensive policy of tight outside and loose inside provides excellent conditions for the reconnaissance team to transfer spoils, because there is no one in the factory, and the team members can carry the spoils and go to the nearest road to enter the gun repair workshop and then transport it out of the arsenal through the sewer.

At five o'clock in the morning, some white light flashed from the edge of the sky, indicating that when dawn was approaching, the last bundle of gun barrels finally entered the sewer.

"The firepower team immediately returned to the gunpowder production workshop to get some explosives, and blasted the gunpowder production workshop, artillery repair workshop and gun production workshop where we had things to get things, erasing the traces of us coming, and preventing the Japanese army from knowing that someone came to the arsenal to get things last night!" Zhou Cheng ordered the last order.

At 5:30 in the morning, workers gathered at the gate of the arsenal and lined up to wait for the Japanese to inspect.

Zhou Cheng and the firepower team behind the palace happened to climb out of the sewer exit, and then quickly wiped out the traces of people walking by the river, and disappeared into the already bright night.

"Boom..." An explosion suddenly rang behind Zhou Cheng, with a very loud sound, as if it was thunder, and then a ball of fireballs rose from the arsenal.

Zhou Cheng did not look back. They had to go back to the inn to sleep as soon as possible, making outsiders feel that they had not left the inn last night.

Although the explosion could erase traces of their entry and exit from the arsenal last night, anything could be unexpected.

If the Japanese realize that the explosion just now is not an accident and someone enters the arsenal through the sewer, the whole city will definitely be martial law and door to door to find the attackers.

By then, you will become the best evidence to get rid of suspicion.

At the Taiyuan Arsenal, a sudden explosion scared the Japanese guarding outside.

I saw that the gunpowder production workshop was blown into pieces during the explosion, and rolling smoke rose from the ground and soared into the sky. The captain of the arsenal who protected the arsenal directly sat on the ground.

A squadron of Japanese troops rushed to the gunpowder production workshop where the explosion was still occurring to prevent the fire from spreading to other workshops and causing a series of explosions.

"Boom..." Before more than a hundred Japanese soldiers rushed to the explosion point, new explosions sounded again, and one of them was in the gun production workshop next to the Japanese.

A large hole was instantly blown out of the thick workshop exterior wall, and thick black smoke emerged from the hole, looking particularly cunning.

The explosion in the artillery production workshop next door was even more violent, and it directly blew up one wall and half of the roof, and the rolling smoke rose into the air.

More importantly, the explosion also caused the shells piled in the workshop to explode everywhere. Some shells withstood intimate contact from the ground, while some shells could not bear it. The explosion occurred as soon as they landed, continuing to destroy the equipment in the workshop.

The leader of the Japanese squadron leader didn't think much about it and was anxious to order: "Extinguish the fire immediately, and you can't let the fire continue to spread, otherwise other workshops will be affected."

"The firearms and artillery repair workshop must have exploded due to the explosion in the gunpowder workshop!"

In the Taiyuan Japanese Army headquarters, the middle commander was also awakened by the sudden explosion. He got up from the bed, put on his military uniform and walked towards the door.

Although he was not sure what happened to the explosion just now, he could still hear that the explosion came from the arsenal.
