Chapter 677: Fatal Flaw (Second Update!) )
The guard platoon of the third battalion, which was the first to arrive at the stronghold, was desperately digging fortifications a few hundred meters away and establishing a temporary command center!
Dozens of sandbags surrounded a circle of one-meter-high circular fortifications, a one-meter-deep pit was dug in the ground, and the soil was piled up outside the sandbags, and a layer of logs and sandbags was covered with a layer of sandbags, and a semi-underground headquarters was formed!
Battalion commander Huang Sheng and regiment commander Li Hao just walked in, and Zhang Chengcheng, the commander of the seventh company, was the first to rush over, with a smile on his face, very happy!
"Battalion commander, this battle was fought too neatly, the artillery smashed a few explosive packs, and the little devil was blown up, what we need to do is clean up the battlefield!"
"If the troops had been equipped with this kind of artillery earlier, it would not have been so difficult for us to fight devils, and we would not have sacrificed so many comrades on the battlefield!"
"No, you're wrong!" Li Hao suddenly opened his mouth and directly denied it!
"Hello Commander!"
It was only at this time that Zhang Cheng calmed down from his excitement, saw Li Hao standing behind Huang Sheng, and hurriedly saluted!
"Hello Company Commander Zhang!" Li Hao returned a military salute, and then replied!
"Even if we equip the flying thunder cannon in advance, the bad situation of our Eighth Route Army will not be greatly improved!"
"As for fighting devils, how it was before, how it is now, it won't change much!"
"It can't be!" Zhang Cheng subconsciously retorted!
"The Flying Thunder Cannon is so powerful, it explodes a large area. A dynamite bag passes, and if you're lucky, you can directly reimburse the devil squad! Even if the devils have turrets and bunkers to hold onto, the explosives bag can shock them to death through the turrets! ”
"If the troops are equipped with a large number of flying thunder cannons, even if we are not equipped with siege artillery, we can easily take down the turrets that the devils are holding!"
Li Hao shook his head and replied: "That's because you don't know about the Flying Thunder Cannon, and you only see the advantages of the Flying Thunder Cannon, and then you have this idea!"
"Yes, the power of the flying thunder cannon is very great, as long as the explosive package is successfully thrown into the devil's position, the little devil within a radius of 20 meters will definitely die, and the little devil within 30 meters will also be killed!"
"But he also has shortcomings, and there are no few!"
"Let's talk about the first one, the barrel of the Flying Thunder Cannon is made of empty gasoline barrels!"
"Despite the reinforcement, the shortcomings of the barrel walls being too thin have not been solved!"
"This means that every thunder cannon that throws three explosive packs in a row must be stopped and cooled for half an hour!"
"After a total of twenty explosive packets are thrown, the entire gasoline drum will be wasted, and if you continue to use it, there will be a risk of exploding!"
"If you can't hit the enemy, you will hurt yourself!"
"The second: Do you know what the amount of explosives packed each time the Flying Thunder Cannon is fired?"
"Twenty pounds of yellow explosives, you can hear clearly, it's yellow explosives, not black powder!"
"One explosives bag has a twenty-kilogram load, and six explosives packages have just been used in each stronghold, which is equivalent to one hundred and twenty kilograms of yellow explosives!"
"Although we now have an arsenal, we can already produce our own gunpowder!"
"But limited to the shortage of raw materials, the gunpowder produced by the arsenal is only enough for the ammunition factory!"
"For this attack, we will provide a sufficient number of explosive packages for the Flying Thunder Artillery, and we will not only use up all the yellow explosives in stock, but also all the explosives captured from Datong!"
"If we are equipped with flying thunder cannons on a large scale, the explosives alone can drag us down!"
"We can use black powder!" Zhang Cheng put forward his own ideas!
"The requirements for black powder are not high, and the raw materials are also common, so it will definitely be able to be produced on a large scale!"
Li Hao did not deny: "Black powder is indeed possible, but the power is too small!"
"The explosive bag containing twenty catties of black powder is not as powerful as the explosive bag containing ten catties of yellow explosives!"
"Even if it is successfully projectile to the enemy's position, the limited power will not be able to hurt the little devils who are protected by turrets and dark bunkers!"
"The sky can kill and injure some little devils on the surface of the position!"
"And a third!"
"The Flying Thunder Cannon is not as powerful as you think!"
"It has two fatal flaws: the range is too close, and the intensive reading is too poor!"
"The short range means that if the Flying Thunder Cannon wants to hit the enemy's position, it must be mounted within the effective range of the enemy's artillery, and even the grenadiers commonly equipped by the little devils can hit them!"
"On the battlefield, if this shortcoming is not done well, it will bring them a devastating blow!"
"If the enemy's grenade hits or detonates the explosive pack when the explosive pack is thrown, the entire artillery position is finished!"
"Poor shooting accuracy, which is also a very important reason why we only use yellow explosives in the explosive packs we throw!"
"Only with yellow explosives, the lethality of the explosive pack can reach twenty meters, or even thirty meters!"
"With the shooting accuracy of the flying thunder cannon, even if it is more than ten meters away, such an explosive package can kill the target!"
"If the yellow explosive is turned into black powder, the lethality of the explosive package will be directly reduced to ten meters, and once it deviates from the target by more than ten meters, it will not be able to pose a threat to the target!"
"Coupled with the shortcomings of the Flying Thunder Cannon's short range and slow rate of fire!"
"If you can't make the first hit, bring a devastating blow to the enemy, let the enemy react, and have a chance to fight back!"
"Then they will lose a second chance to shoot, and they will become a live target for the enemy!"
Zhang Cheng suddenly realized and shouted, "I understand!"
"Even if the flying thunder cannon is easy to produce, the troops cannot be large-scale, they can only be used as heavy artillery, and they can be used to deal a fatal blow to the enemy at a critical moment!"
Li Hao replied with an appreciative face: "Not bad!"
"Although the appearance of the flying thunder cannon can't change the situation of the war. But this weapon can save lives at critical moments! ”
"It's like now, because there is no heavy artillery, the Flying Thunder Cannon has become the only way for us to kill the little devils!"
"So although the Flying Thunder Cannon can't change the tide of the battle, it gives us one more tactical method of warfare, and one more choice when fighting devils!"
Zhang Cheng's eyes lit up and replied, "It's true!"
"With the Flying Thunder Cannon, we can take the devil by surprise!"
"For example, to attack the little devil head-on and attract the attention of the little devil, we quietly detour the flying thunder cannon back behind the devil, and then suddenly open fire to give the devil a deadly attack!"
"Good way!"
The expression of appreciation on Li Hao's face became even stronger!
"This time to attack the central stronghold of the little devils, I plan to do this!"
"Three companies under the third battalion are attacking from the front, each company reinforcing the mortars, heavy machine guns, and two thunder guns you just captured!"
"The remaining six flying thunder cannons and the guard company I brought will be used as surprise soldiers to give the devils a deadly attack!"
