Chapter 210: No Conscience Cannon, Sure Enough, Worthy of the Name (Chapter 4: Asking for a Subscription and Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Get out the chemical fertilizer, so that the surrounding people can be as hungry as possible.
Let the common people in the most difficult period, more or less squeeze out a little food from between their teeth to support the Eighth Route Army to fight against the little devils, not that the people are about to starve to death because they have no food, and there is no way to support the Eighth Route Army.
And the Eighth Route Army was so hungry that they couldn't even hold their guns, so they could only watch the Japanese devils run rampant in the countryside and do all kinds of evil, but they couldn't do anything because they were hungry.
Then, it becomes an endless loop.
Zhang Ran asked Ma Chengbang and others to use chemical fertilizers in the tunnels, secret cellars and other things promoted by the high beam, just to untie this dead knot.
While unraveling this dead cycle, we can also let the villagers protect the fruits of their labor more often, instead of letting the detachment use chemical fertilizers to produce these grains, which become military food for the little devils to fight the Chinese!
But from beginning to end, Zhang Ran never thought of including Yuanguang County in the detachment's sphere of influence, even though Yuanguang County, like Cangshui County, was adjacent to the Dongjiang River, where the detachment was located.
There is a reason why this is so.
Because of the terrain advantages of Yuanguang County, it is too obvious!
Like Cangshui County, Yuanguang County also has many plains.
But the difference is that outside Cangshui County is Yangquan and other mountains and mountains, and there are important places like Tiger Killing Mouth that can be blocked!
In the county, there are also important places such as the Yangjiaoya Boat Stopping River that Zhang Ran inspected along the way, and the enemy can be blocked through these important places.
There is nothing in Yuanguang County, not to mention the plains of Pingchuan, and then there is Dingzhou City!
As long as the little devil hits Dingzhou City, he will push it all the way......
With the topography of Yuanguang County, whether it is the Eighth Road and the Eighth Road or the team of the chairman, if you encounter a little devil in this place, you can't fight at all!
What's even more depressing is that Yuanguang County is not only flat, but also has vast waters, almost all of which are rice fields, which have been famous for producing high-quality rice for thousands of years!
The little devil Lady happens to like to eat rice!
Therefore, after Yuan Zhenfeng died in Dingzhou and Dingzhou City fell into the control of the little devil, the first thing the devil did was to build bunkers and turrets everywhere in Yuanguang County, and completely turn Yuanguang County into the granary of the Japanese army!
It can be said that not to mention Zhang Ran's small Jindong detachment, it is impossible for any force to take root in Yuanguang County!
But Zhang Ran believes that as long as he has the fertilizer in his hands, the people of Yuanguang County will definitely support him when they taste the sweetness of chemical fertilizer.
When the time comes, the detachment can use Yuanguang County as a battlefield and have a good deal with the little devils!
Don't you little devil like to eat rice?
As long as the villagers support themselves, Lao Tzu promises to let all the rice fields of Yuanguang be planted into sorghum corn for Lao Tzu - green yarn tents everywhere!
Don't you little devils like to build turrets and bunkers?
If you dare to organize people to build, Lao Tzu will lead the detachment to pull it out - look at how fast you little devils build, or how fast Lao Tzu pulls out!
For farmers, the busiest time of the year is basically at the end of May and the beginning of June, as well as the end of September and the beginning of October.
At the end of May and early June, spring grain is harvested and autumn grain is planted, and autumn grain is harvested at the end of September and early October.
In the past two months, the seeds have been rushed and harvested, which is called double robbery.
It was as busy as a battle.
Millions of catties of all kinds of grain brought by the people in the base area and Ma Chengbang and others, and explained that Wang Changtian and some soldiers hurriedly expanded the warehouse with the help of those caves in the back mountain, and put the grain into the warehouse as soon as possible.
Just as Xu Song thought, Zhang Ran would never keep him, Xu Song would wait for the autumn harvest to be finished, and then finish the last sum before leaving.
I don't want to offend Yuan Zhenfeng, but if Xu Song really wants to do this, Zhang Ran can only fight.
To fight Xu Song, you have to prepare to attack the city.
It was unlike any previous battle the detachment had fought.
The detachment's previous battles were either ambushes, blockades through advantageous terrain, or hit-and-run guerrilla ......
Siege such a tough battle, that's really not played.
It's impossible.
There is no siege weapon like artillery, and even if there is a machine gun that can suppress the fire, it is still difficult for the soldiers to not want to be a target.
Therefore, after discussing with Kang Ting, Shi Yuan and others, Zhang Ran came up with two sets of plans.
The first is to send a large number of militia into Dongjiang County to lurk now, ready to respond at any time.
The second is the detachment's side, develop artillery fire as much as possible, in the hope that it can be used during the siege of the city.
The two grenadiers seized from Cangshui County have been successfully repaired by Niu Da, Cheng Dongshan, Cui Sanyuan, and others, and the two grenadier squads have also come into being under the formation of Kang Ting.
Now, in addition to the previous training subjects, the training of grenadiers has been added to the daily training.
The God pitchers were lonely for a few days.
After all, no matter how hard they trained, they couldn't shoot as far and accurately as the grenadiers.
However, every time I heard those grenadiers being kicked and kicked and beaten by Kang Ting because they didn't hit the position required by Kang Ting, a group of god pitchers were much more balanced, and they said in their hearts, "Oh, let Ya steal our limelight......
On Zhang Ran's side, he officially started the experiment of the conscienceless cannon, striving to make the conscienceless cannon become a conscience cannon as soon as possible, only blowing up the enemy's devils, don't make your own people first!
In China's modern history, the Cannon without Conscience is definitely famous.
But not so many people know how the conscienceless cannon turned from a gasoline barrel into a cannon......
Zhang Ran didn't know either, but he knew the general principle - the general principle of the conscienceless cannon was actually similar to that of a gunpowder gun filled with iron sand, which was completed by using the thrust generated by the gunpowder explosion.
Of course, the principle is similar, but it does not mean that it is the same.
If this gasoline drum is used in the same way as a powder gun, this conscienceless cannon is estimated to be much more conscienceless.
The reason why there is such a big difference is actually obvious - the iron sand of the gunpowder gun is a solid, which is to use the inertia of shooting to kill the enemy, and is not afraid of damage.
The shells of the unconscionable cannon use the explosive pack as the shell, and rely on the explosion of the explosive pack to kill the enemy.
The modification of the gasoline drum has long been changed by Niu Da and Cheng Dongshan and others under Zhang Ran's explanation.
One end of the gasoline drum has been completely removed, and a small hole has been made in the bottom of the barrel so that the ignition wire can pass through it, and ignite the explosives in the gasoline barrel after ignition.
Now, Niu Dacheng, Dongshan, Cui Sanyuan, Mao Zuan and others, even including Kang Ting, also came over after beating up the soldiers of the grenadier squad and venting their sullenness after chasing Lu Yan and touching an unknown number of nose ashes.
A group of guys looked at the gasoline barrels, and then at Zhang Ran, their faces were extremely weird, and their eyes looked like they were looking at a fool.
Obviously, there was no overlap between this thing and the cannon in their minds, and they absolutely didn't believe that this thing could be used as a cannon......
Zhang Ran pinched his chin and used the rack to add up a gasoline barrel, opened the mouth obliquely forward, felt that it was almost there, turned around and waved his hand at Mao Drill and said, "Up, charge!" ”
Mao Drill moved a wooden barrel and poured black powder into the gasoline barrel, while asking Zhang Ran how much black powder he needed.
"Less!"
Zhang Ran was also afraid of exploding, so he pinched his chin and said for a while: "Don't fill too much, but whatever, you have to spread the bottom of the gasoline barrel!" ”
This is very understandable, if it is not spread, and the gunpowder explodes, then the explosives are not allowed to turn over when they go out!
Fill gunpowder, load fuse.
After everything was done, Zhang Ran put a thin piece of wood on the gunpowder at the bottom of the gasoline barrel that was exactly the size of the gasoline barrel, and then put on the explosives bag that had already been mixed with gunpowder and iron slag by Mao Zuan and others, wrapped in oiled paper and then tied with ropes layer by layer.
The black powder in the gasoline drum and the medicine in the explosives package were ignited separately.
"That's it?"
Kang Ting asked with slanted eyes.
"Almost!"
Zhang Ran looked left and right, and felt that it was really almost.
In principle, the black powder at the bottom of the gasoline barrel is ignited by igniting the fuse that passes through the small hole of the gasoline barrel, and when the black powder explodes, the wooden block is pushed, and the explosive package that has been ignited on the wooden block is ejected, and the length of the fuse on the explosive package is controlled to explode after reaching the target......
Appearance.
The way this shelf is erected, Zhang Ran is very sure that it is no different from the appearance of a conscienceless cannon set up in a very popular war movie in his memory.
It's no problem to stay away from the upper appearance, so what are you waiting for?
"Up, ignition!"
Zhang Ran ran out of the way and entered the dug bulletproof pit, and then waved his hand.
A group of people looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, everyone has Lao Tzu on their faces, if they go to light the fire, Lao Tzu will be a big fool.
"Nima, the fuse is so long, what are you afraid of?"
Zhang Ran angrily scolded: "It's a shame that all of you are senior leading cadres of my Jindong detachment, and when you are testing you here, you are all hesitant, it is in vain that I have carefully cultivated you and regarded you as the backbone of my Jindong detachment......"
Mao Diamond, Cui Dongshan and others were a little ashamed, as for Kang Ting, this kind of agitation method is useless at all.
Niu Da ......
Niu Da is now squatting in the pit with Zhang Ran.
Fortunately, there are still heroes, an apprentice of the ammunition department, with the tragedy of the daredevils, carrying a torch.
The fuse really stayed long enough.
After lighting the fire, the apprentice even had time to trot back into the pit and make a few expressions of frightening Lao Tzu, and then the black powder at the bottom of the gasoline drum exploded.
With a loud bang, the racks of gasoline drums fell directly to the ground, rolling all over the ground.
The bag of explosives was fired, but landed two meters in front of the muzzle of the conscienceless cannon......
Thundered......
The explosion of the explosive pack was earth-shattering, the sand and stones flew sideways, and the wind and clouds changed color......
A group of people shrank in the bulletproof crater and shivered, looking at Zhang Ran's pale face, as if Zhang Ran was doing this, he was deliberately trying to kill someone......
It is conceivable that if you do this on the battlefield, you will definitely die in front of the gasoline barrels!
