　　Today, modern military weapons are constantly updated and iterated.

However, seeing the self-made "native weapons" that appeared in the War of Resistance against Japan more than 80 years ago can still give people a deep shock.

　　It is the "Yanji bomb".

　　"From the end of 1931 to the summer of 1932, the'Yanji Bomb' independently developed by the people of all ethnic groups in East Manchu during the arduous struggle in the anti-Japanese base area made the enemy very terrified." said Xu Yongji, a librarian at the Museum of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in Jilin Province. "It played an important role in the East Manchurian War of Resistance Against Japan.

　　At that time, the "Yanji bombs" were divided into different models according to their size and function.

The third round is generally used as a grenade.

The second bomb is larger than the third bomb and is generally used for offensive warfare.

The No. 1 projectile is more powerful and is used for defensive warfare and blasting enemy bunker.

　　Xu Yongji said: "With the'Yanji Bomb', the enemy is very scared. We can blow up the enemy's artillery and cars at any time."

　　The reputation of the "Yanji Bomb" made the enemy frightened. However, its development has gone through an arduous process.

　　The original "Yanji Bomb" was made based on the bombs used in the mines. The sound was huge, but the lethality was not strong. When the enemy came, they could only "shock" and do little harm to their combat effectiveness.

Because the Korean people like to eat spicy food, they later tried to put the chili noodles in the bomb.

This kind of bomb can irritate the enemy's eyes and make them cry after exploding indoors, but the effect of exploding in the wild is still not good.

After that, everyone put glass shards and stones in the bomb, and the explosion effect was improved, but the lethality was only slightly increased.

In the end, it was discovered that the bombs filled with pig iron flakes had better test results than grenades and grenade. Large bombs can blow up enemy cars.

　　"Yanji bombs" are generally made of explosives, explosive cartridges, pig iron sheets, shells, and iron wires.

Because there are local mines, the source of explosives can be solved.

But the most difficult thing to solve is the source of pig iron flakes.

The guerrillas and the masses began to take the initiative to pick broken iron pots, unusable hoes, ploughshares, etc. to the arsenal, but it was still difficult to adequately guarantee the production of "Yanji bombs."

In the face of the enemy, the local people smashed their own cooking iron pot without hesitation.

　　In the process of making the "Yanji bomb", many comrades were blinded and broke their arms.

Comrade Sun Yuanjin is one of them.

During the bombing process, the gunpowder exploded and he was blind in both eyes.

　　In the defense of the Wangyugou Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Base in 1933, more than 1,000 anti-Japanese guerrillas and the people in the base successfully used the "Yanji Bomb" to fight against more than 2,000 enemies and finally won the battle.
