After Japan's surrender in 1945, the 1st Division of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army went to the northeast, and the division commander was Liang Xingchu, the commander of the "Long Live Army" who later shocked the foreign land. At that time, the Kuomintang army, equipped with American-style **, had already entered the northeast and controlled Shanhaiguan. In late November, when the 1st Division and 2nd Regiment of the Eighth Route Army advanced to Jinxi via Xingcheng, they fought a battle at Jiumen. The two sides fought fiercely for several hours, and a certain unit of the enemy's 52nd Army was defeated and retreated, leaving behind a bunch of American-style equipment. The Eighth Route Army "picked up the ocean" as usual. 
There are some foreign things that the Eighth Route Army has never seen, and among the captured things is an iron barrel, and one end is a bell mouth, and the soldiers don't know what it is. Let the people of the ordnance section see it, they have never seen it, they thought it was a military musical instrument, and handed it over to the divisional propaganda team. The musical instruments of the propaganda team were very rudimentary, and when they heard that the "trumpet" of the US military had been captured, everyone was very happy and surprised. Someone also blew the iron tube, but it didn't sound, saying: "The American devil is big and has a lot of strength, so we can't blow such a big tube." "Everyone is speculating that the head of the propaganda section, Shibagawa Ruo, has come over. Chai Section Chief is literate and has seen the world, he took a closer look, and found that there was a wooden handle in the middle of the iron cylinder, and there was something like a trigger, and he couldn't help but sigh and said to everyone, what kind of horn is this, it must be a **. 
Section Chief Chai doesn't know what this thing is**, he knows a little English, but he can't recognize the English on the iron cylinder. At this time, the division commander Liang Xingchu also came to see the excitement, everyone asked the division commander if he had seen this thing, he shook his head, and asked Section Chief Chai, haven't you ever studied English, give me a translation. Chief Chai said that it seemed to be something like fire like an arrow. Division Commander Liang suddenly realized: "By the way, the enemy report said that the Kuomintang army was equipped with American rocket artillery, maybe this is it, take it to the artillery company to see." Zhu Sheng, the platoon commander of the artillery company, has a flexible brain, likes to tinker with ordnance, and can repair minor glitches in guns, and is nicknamed "Little Zhuge ". He carried the iron tube to the captives for advice. It just so happened that one of the captives was a rocket gunner, and when he looked at something, he said, "This is rocket artillery, I used it." ”
During World War II, the U.S. military was armed with a Bazooka bazooka, which was mainly used for anti-tank purposes, and its high-explosive warhead could also destroy machine-gun fortifications. The shape of this bazooka resembles a trumpet-like instrument called a bazooka, hence the name. The "trumpet" captured by the Eighth Route Army may have been the Bazooka bazooka. Zhu Sheng hurriedly brought the prisoner back to the company, treated him as a "guest", and learned how to use the bazooka from the other party. But with the launcher and no shells, it can't be hit. Zhu Sheng took the prisoners to the ordnance section and soon found dozens of rocket shells. If there is a cannonball, I want to try it, Zhu Sheng went to ask Commander Liang for instructions, and Commander Liang said, when you experiment, I will also go to see it. 
The next afternoon, Zhu Sheng came to the village to prepare for target shooting, and the target chose an abandoned land temple nearby. Master Liang brought a lot of people over**. Zhu Sheng followed the operation method taught by the captive, loaded the battery and the cannonball, and pulled the trigger, only to see a flame erupt from the tail of the bazooka, and the cannonball shot towards the land temple. This thing is so powerful that with a loud bang, the Land Temple is gone, and only a pile of rubble remains. Everyone applauded in unison, and Senior Commander Liang happily took Platoon Commander Zhu's hand and said that you really live up to your reputation, but you can use it yourself, teach some more people, and it may come in handy in the next war! The commander of the Zhu platoon was ordered and began to teach a few comrades how to use bazookas. Ten days later, the bazooka came in handy. The 1st Division launched an attack on Takahashi, but still fought with the enemy's 52nd Army. In the past, to deal with the enemy's machine-gun bunkers, the Eighth Route Army usually used explosive packs or blasting canisters, which often had to pay **. 
This time, Platoon Commander Zhu and the others used bazookas to hit the bunker, and the bullets were not missed, and they would be destroyed with one blow. The fighters cheered with joy: "Long live the rocket artillery!" "In the battle of Xiushui Hezi in February 46, the 1st Division of the Eighth Route Army and the brother troops of the New Fourth Army fought a beautiful battle of annihilation, captured hundreds of prisoners, captured a lot, and counted 6 rocket launchers and a batch of artillery shells. As a result, all regiments of the 1st Division were equipped with bazookas, and a bazooka training class was held, with platoon commander Zhu as an instructor. At the summary meeting after the war, the political commissar of the division told everyone that at the beginning we used rocket artillery as a musical instrument and made jokes, but today we used it to win the battle. This is the victory of the idea of nourishing war with war. With the successive victories of the Eighth Route Army, more ** equipment has been captured, and more powerful American howitzers are also available.
