Chapter 369: Sichuan Pepper Powder Bomb and Magnesium Powder Bomb

Tu Meng commanded ten tanks to build a defensive line outside the Ministry of Finance building, the 12.7mm machine guns on the roof of the tanks were all pointed outside, and the infantry were also assigned to the commanding heights of the buildings around the Ministry of Finance building.

After doing all this, Chen Xu, Tu Meng, and Zhou Xuan came to the staircase at the end of the corridor on the first floor again, ready to enter inside to capture the vault.

"Grass! What does it taste like? What a stinking! "Standing at the top of the stairs, I heard a choking smell of burnt paste from below. Tu Meng coughed twice and cursed.

"The enemy below resisted too fiercely, and it was difficult for us to attack it, so we used flamethrowers!" Zhou Xuan also covered his nose, very disgusted by the smell.

It turned out that the Vietnamese army and Mao Zibing downstairs were stubbornly resisting, and it would be very big to attack the Internet in such a narrow space, so Zhou Xuan went out to open the way for the Pyro, and used the flames to clear all the obstacles along the way from the staircase to the elevator.

After sneezing a few times, Tu Meng covered his nose and complained, "You actually used a flamethrower in such a place?" Isn't this smell of the air the smell of human flesh, disgusting to me! ā€

"It does smell meaty, but you get used to it when you smell it." Chen Xu sniffed, his nose was damaged by gunpowder and he couldn't smell anything, but he deliberately said this out of disgust, and then walked down the stairs first.

In fact, it was the first time for Tu Meng to participate in actual combat, and he had seen a lot of Vietnamese soldiers who had been blown up by the air force along the way, and there were all kinds of charred and hideous postures. But it was still very uncomfortable for him to be so close to these disgusting things, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach and wanted to vomit. But there are so many subordinates around, not only Zhou Xuan, the opponent, but also President Chen Xu, even if it is uncomfortable, he can only swallow it forcibly.

Surrounded by many soldiers, the three of them went down the stairs one after another and walked towards the location of the elevator.

All the way down, there was a soldier standing around the corners, the walls and floors below were marked by fire, many places were blackened, and the air was filled with a pungent and hot smell of burnt fuel and plastic.

Fortunately, Zhou Xuan had already asked his subordinates to cover the burned Vietnamese soldiers with things, otherwise seeing these charred and blurred human bodies in this kind of dark basement is really more terrifying than a ghost movie, and it will form a psychological shadow for a lifetime.

When the stairs went down to the third floor, everyone entered a narrow alleyway, about 20 meters long and wide, and sure enough, as Katya said before, this is a zigzag corridor specially designed by the Vietnamese, and at each corner there is a Vietnamese soldier hiding in a cement fortress that can accommodate one person.

Theoretically speaking, this kind of defense is a matter of ten thousand people, the Vietnamese army around the corner is hiding in the fortress, shooting outside through a three-finger-wide lookout hole, and it is really difficult for people outside to attack the sky!

However, the Vietnamese apparently did not take into account that under the attack of the flamethrower, although this lookout hole was small but enough for flames to penetrate into, the Vietnamese soldiers hiding inside were instead cocooned and bound themselves, trapped in it and unable to move, but would be burned alive.

So the paratroopers effortlessly cleaned up the defenders at the two corners, and through this narrow corridor, the space suddenly opened up, and a large space of about fifty square meters appeared in front of them, and a three-meter-long freight elevator door appeared in front of them.

The Vietnamese were very thoughtful and set up a backup power system next to the vault, and when the whole city was cut off, the batteries in the underground vault began to supply power, and the generators also started to charge the batteries at the same time, which could last for two days without losing power.

This era is not as advanced as later generations, the technology of batteries is not so advanced, the voltage is weak and unstable, and the incandescent light bulbs in the ceiling emit a dim and dim light, which can only be used for lighting, and it is not as useful as using tactical flashlights for lighting.

Zhou Xuan held a tactical flashlight to shine on this elevator door, frowned and said, "What should we do now?" It's not realistic to take the elevator directly! The enemies in the bunker must have set fire on the exit below, and the elevator door will definitely be hit as a target when it opens! ā€

"The most important thing is that you can't shoot indiscriminately in the bunker, stray bullets fly and kill Oturov, then it will be a loss, the dead Soviet general is worthless to us!" Chen Xu emphasized.

"What? Oturov...... Could it be that General Oturov? He's right behind this elevator door! Tu Meng was still confused about the target of the attack, and said in surprise.

"That's right, behind this elevator door is not only more than two billion dollars worth of gold, but also the number one target we want to arrest, General Oturov!" Zhou Xuan nodded with his arms in his hands and said.

"No wonder you say that the big fish here is bigger than the whale, if it were General Oturov, it would indeed be a whale!" Tu Meng's eyes lit up and said, participating in the capture of this Soviet general is definitely a great achievement, it seems that his military rank can indeed be promoted this time.

"If you can't use a gun, it's not easy! Oturov's guards are all battle-hardened special forces, and they have a great advantage in a narrow space, especially since we don't know how many enemies there are downstairs and how many guns there are, it's really hard to fight! Zhou Xuan pinched the soft flesh in the center of his eyebrows, very distressed by this.

"Actually, it would be nice if there were gas bombs, the underground vault is a confined space, and if you throw two people into it, all the people inside will lose their resistance." Chen Xu knew that the best way to deal with this kind of enemy stuck in a confined space was to throw gas grenades, even tear gas or stun grenades, and the police equipment of later generations could take down the enemy in the vault without causing casualties. However, everyone is equipped with lethal weapons, and no one has ever thought of equipping gas grenades with non-lethal things.

"I have a smoke grenade launcher on my M1 tank, I don't know if I can use it!" Tu Meng suddenly interjected.

"Smoke bombs?" Chen Xu pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Even if you throw a few smoke bombs into it, the vault will become foggy, and the enemies inside will shoot indiscriminately in a panic, there will still be a considerable chance of killing Oturov!" This trick doesn't work. ā€

"Otherwise, we'll cut off the bunker's power and throw a flashbang into it and blind those guys!" Tu Meng made persistent efforts and came up with another bad idea.

"This is now a war zone, where do we go to get flashbangs, it will take at least five or six hours to faint from the country!" Zhou Xuan shook his head beside him, he didn't want to dream too much at night, the longer this matter dragged on, the more troublesome it would be, and it was estimated that General Wang Lie would come over at that time, and the credit for such a big chief would not be as good as his little battalion commander.

"You're stupid! Isn't there a flare? We poured out the magnesium powder and mixed it with gunpowder into a plastic tube, and lit it with a fuse, which was a simplified version of a flashbang. Tu Meng explained it in a serious way.

Don't look at Tu Meng, this guy is five big and three thick, but he is also a college student and a student of chemical engineering, as long as he has materials in his hands, making a simple flashbang is a matter of handiness for him.

"Great idea! Go find some chili powder and pepper, and make a few more tear gas canisters by the way, and we'll do both of them, and all the people in the bunker will abandon their weapons and surrender! Chen Xu clasped his left hand into a fist and slapped the palm of his right hand, and said with excitement on his face.

Making tear gas and flashbangs is actually super simple, and they are both things that can be taken from local materials!

At the sound of an order, the soldiers went around looking for chili powder and pepper, and everyone came back to the hall, Tu Meng took out a flare from the tank, manually removed the warhead, and poured out the magnesium powder inside, Zhou Xuan searched the building for a long time before finding a few plastic bottles.

Then Tu Meng mixed magnesium powder and gunpowder in proportion, poured it into a plastic bottle, drilled a hole in the cap, stuffed a lead into it, and a super simple flashbang was ready.

The three soldiers who went out to look for tear gas materials did not find the peppers, but they came back with a large bag of peppercorn powder, but the effect was similar.

It's easier to make tear gas, mix a lot of peppercorn powder with a little magnesium powder and gunpowder, and put it in a plastic bottle and plug the lead.

Experimentation requires dedication, and Chen Xu picked a few daring paratroopers and asked them to wear goggles and light a bottle of flashbang in the basement. The effect was perfect, even Chen Xu, who was standing outside waiting for the result, was sore by the dazzling light that burst out of the room. As for the soldiers who were experimenting inside, their eyes were completely blinded, and they couldn't open their eyes even if they kept crying, and if they didn't have goggles, they might really become blind!

Next, he tried peppercorn powder tear gas canisters, and Tu Meng volunteered to take a few soldiers into the house to try the power! The result is self-evident, Tu Meng and the others were smoked by the choking poisonous smoke on the spot, and in the end, it was Chen Xu who carried a few people out wearing a gas mask, and it would really kill if it was too late.

The two improvised weapons are very good, and they can basically be used in actual combat!

After waking up Tu Meng, Zhou Xuan officially began to organize people to prepare for the attack, because the situation in the fort was not clear, the offensive operation was quite dangerous, so Chen Xu didn't think about going down, this operation will be led by Zhou Xuan himself to take the elevator down to attack.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Chen Xu asked people to find a few thick steel plate trees in the elevator, and when the elevator door opened, the enemy in the bunker fired and shot the steel plate, I believe that those enemies who entered the bunker would not carry any heavy weapons, and the attacking team could basically avoid the initial blow by hiding behind the steel plate.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, the team immediately threw tear gas and flashbang grenades, and waited for these two homemade riot bombs to explode before rushing out to clean up the guys.
