Chapter 343: Modified Shells
At twelve o'clock at noon, in a private house located in the center of Nanyang Village, Yang Chenghu first poured a breath of cold air, and then didn't care about washing his hands, and grabbed the multigrain flatbread on the table and gobbled it up.
The high-intensity battle in the morning obviously caused his physical strength and energy to be extremely drained.
A few minutes later, seeing that Yang Chenghu had almost eaten, Zhao Shixun immediately spread out a hand-drawn map of Nanyang Village's defense distribution by He Zhendong on the table.
Not long ago, when he took Yang Chenghu and them back to Nanyang Village in a hurry, he happened to meet He Zhendong, who had just finished drawing the defense map.
Unexpectedly saw that He Zhendong was still in Nanyang Village, Zhao Shixun was also startled at the time, you must know that he deliberately asked Ma Sanshun and Lao Qi to take He Zhendong away from Nanyang Village, and let him retreat to the mountains with the wounded when he was injured.
And now that he actually met the other party in the village, how could he not surprise Zhao Shixun. For a while, Zhao Shixun thought that something had gone wrong with the retreating villagers, and once wanted to go to Yang Chenghu in person to apologize.
Fortunately, He Zhendong, who was pale, explained to Zhao Shixun at the first time. It turned out that after he learned the news that Zhao Shixun had led the main force of the independent detachment back to Nanyang Village on the stretcher, he took the initiative to find the old man who was in charge of the covering task and asked to return to the village to participate in the battle no matter what.
The injured old man couldn't be persuaded hard, and could only agree to He Zhendong and Ma Sanshun returning to Nanyang Village.
And just when He Zhendong and Ma Sanshun had just arrived in the village, they were about to meet Zhou Yu and them who were wandering around the village.
Similarly, the moment Zhou Yu saw He Zhendong, he was also stunned on the spot, thinking that something was wrong with the old man who was covering the villagers.
And after learning from Zhou Yu that Zhao Shixun was going to attract devils to fight in the streets, He Zhendong, who had not recovered from his old injuries, immediately offered to help Zhou Yu and them arrange defenses.
Regarding He Zhendong's request, Zhou Yuzhi did not object. However, although Zhou Yu didn't care about what the other party could do at first, in the subsequent time, He Zhendong's performance quickly made him understand what the quality of a professional staff officer is.
In just 20 minutes, He Zhendong not only found the ten best defense points according to Zhao Shixun's intentions, but also combined each defense point with the terrain of Nanyang Village by the way, and quickly hand-drew a detailed defense distribution map.
At this moment, Zhou Yu, who has always been not very cold to the officers of the national army, was also stunned on the spot, so he had to have a feeling of being impressed by He Zhendong.
At the same time, he also understood why Zhao Shixun had to try to keep this He Zhendong in the independent detachment, regardless of the fact that the other party was an old Jiang Yan from the Central Military Academy.
Indeed, this guy puts aside the experience of leading troops to fight, but in terms of military literacy, he is not even inferior to a freak like Zhao Shixun! If he can stay in the independent detachment, it will definitely greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the independent detachment.
……
After getting the defense map from He Zhendong, Zhao Shixun found Yang Chenghu as soon as possible and began to discuss the defense distribution of the two teams with him.
With this simple and clear defense map, the negotiation between the two was very efficient, and it took almost only a few minutes to assign the defense configuration.
Combined with the information obtained on the battlefield, Zhao Shixun and Yang Chenghu discussed and decided to use the mines on the periphery to force the devils into the alley in the middle of the village for a decisive battle.
While using crossfire to kill and injure the enemy, combined with the characteristics of the street battle, the distance between the enemy and the enemy is almost face-to-face, and the cluster grenade is used to blow up the two Type 94 tanks that the devils rely on the most.
At the same time, due to the previous experience of making grenades in the border areas that were difficult to destroy Japanese tanks, Zhao Shixun, after discussing with Yang Chenghu, decided to gather the grenades made in the Republic of China and the captured Japanese-style grenades in the hands of both sides, and then make several powerful cluster grenades, striving to destroy the tanks of the devils in one fell swoop.
And just as the two were about to discuss the specific details of the tank, Heiwa, who had been busy outside, suddenly rushed in.
"Detachment Leader! Go and take a look, this Qi Baoshan locked himself in a room and said that he would personally transform a few shells to hit the tank.
Instructor Zhou is worried that something will happen, so I asked me to come to you and have a look. ”
"What's that? Retrofit shells? ”
Hearing Heiwa say that Qi Baoshan was going to transform the shells, Zhao Shixun was also blindsided for a while.
"Yes, that's what he said. It was said that the grenade exploded as soon as it hit the tank, and it couldn't penetrate the tank's armor, so he had to dismantle some fuses and other ....... ”
"What......!!"
Hearing Heiwa say that Qi Baoshan was going to dismantle the fuse, Zhao Shixun was so anxious that he almost jumped three feet high.
He suddenly remembered that not long ago, he had asked Qi Baoshan if the 92-step gun could smash the devil's tank.
But after pondering for a long time, this kid still said that the fuse of the captured grenade was instantaneous, and it could not penetrate the armor of the tank at all if it exploded when touched.
At that time, Zhao Shixun learned that the captured 92-step gun could not hit tanks, and he only sighed a little and stopped thinking about it.
After all, Zhao Shixun didn't have much hope for it from the beginning, this infantry gun is not a battle defense gun, and it is not surprising that it can't hit tanks.
But he never expected that this Qi Baoshan would not give up and would do something to modify the shells.
Although Zhao Shixun didn't understand much about the military industry, as a professional soldier who had stayed in the East, he still had a minimum understanding of artillery shell fuzes. He knew that this thing was usually installed with a detonator, and it was a very sensitive part.
When I was in the national army, the shells with fuses were all exploded, and the chance of returning to the factory for maintenance was extremely low, because the shell fuse was very dangerous when it was dismantled, and it was extremely easy to explode accidentally!
You know, a fuse explosion alone may be nothing, but a fuse that has already been installed on a shell is not. If something goes wrong, the demolitionist is basically going to die!
……
"Hurry ......! Take me to him, go see him right away! ”
Seeing that Zhao Shixun's face was extremely nervous, Heiwa didn't dare to delay in the slightest, and hurriedly took the two of them straight to the courtyard where Qi Baoshan was.
Soon, after dozens of seconds of running, Zhao Shixun finally came to the courtyard where Qi Baoshan was.
Seeing that the soldiers of the seven or eight artillery teams and Zhou Yu were chattering and discussing something in front of the courtyard gate, Zhao Shixun immediately walked over quickly with a cold face.
"What about Qi Baoshan?"
"Report to the detachment leader, our platoon commander is still in the house and hasn't come out."
……
"Quick, open the door for me and call Qi Baoshan out!"
The soldiers of the artillery team were stunned when they heard this, and then hurriedly explained:
"Detachment leader, our platoon commander said that before he made a sound, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu came, he couldn't go in and disturb him...... So I. ”
"Fart! A bunch of stupid people, do you know what Qi Baoshan is doing? He's dying! ”
"Get out of the way."
Pushing away an artillery soldier who was blocking the way, Zhao Shixun walked to the gate in a few steps and pushed the door back, and found that the door was plugged in from the inside.
took a few steps back, and just as he was about to kick in the door, Zhou Yu on the side suddenly grabbed him.
"Lao Zhao......, Comrade Qi Baoshan said before he went in, this work is very dangerous, and there must be no mistakes, so let's never disturb him.
In my opinion, let's be patient and wait. ”
Looking at Zhao Shixun, whose face was pale, Zhou Yu instantly regretted his decision to ask Heiwa to find Zhao Shixun. If Qi Baoshan had an accident because of Zhao Shixun's breaking in, then he would be to blame for his death.
"Old Zhou, you don't understand, I'm here to save him, not to harm him! Where is this shell fuse so easy to dismantle!? He's looking for death by doing this. ”
Hearing this, there was a burst of regret on his face, Zhou Yu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, but he still gritted his teeth and did not let go.
"Lao Zhao, I know you are worried about Brother Qi's safety. But I promised him that no one should be allowed to interfere with his work, so I beg you, just listen to my advice, and wait...... ”
Seeing that Zhou Yu's attitude became very resolute, although Zhao Shixun was anxious, he finally nodded helplessly.
He knew that he seemed to be unable to stop Qi Baoshan's crazy behavior. For today's plan, I can only silently pray in my heart that the sky has eyes, so that Qi Baoshan can successfully modify these shells.
……
And just when everyone outside the courtyard was worried, in a tiled house in the courtyard, through the sunlight pouring into the room through the window, Qi Baoshan, who was sitting on a wooden stool, stretched his face, clamped the outer edge of the fuse of the cannonball with steel pliers, and began to turn carefully in a counterclockwise direction.
Slowly, the triangular pyramidal fuse finally began to turn slowly as the steel pliers scratched a trail on the outer edge of the fuze.
Constantly recalling the structure of the Japanese 88-style instantaneous fuze in his mind, Qi Baoshan slowly lowered the pliers with his right hand while holding the fuse tightly with his left hand after rotating the fixed number of turns.
Taking a deep breath, he began to remove the shell of the fuse very slowly.
This step is also an extremely dangerous step. In this process, once the detonator connected to the lower part of the fuse is accidentally triggered, even if Qi Baoshan has nine lives, he will have to be reimbursed!
Finally, after lifting a few centimeters, Qi Baoshan finally saw the detonator inserted in the bomb body safely.
After separating the detonator from the fuse with extreme care, he slowly stepped aside with the fuse in his arms, and finally let out a long breath.
At this moment, as a cold wind blew outside the house, Qi Baoshan realized that his back was already soaked.
Without time to rest, he picked up the dismantled fuse, and while carefully observing it, he began to search his memory for feasible steps.
The main materials used for the fuse of this 70 mm shell are brass and stainless steel, and the surface of the steel fuse body is blued.
Looking closely, Qi Baoshan quickly found the words "Eighty-Eight Style Durian" on it.
