Fang Yuan thought that the weapon that broke Sun Chuanting's train camp was the white phosphorus bomb.

The white phosphorus bomb is mixed with white phosphorus powder and gunpowder, and the natural principle of oxidizing white phosphorus when it encounters air is used to make grenades and air-dropped bombs.

If you can make a large number of white phosphorus bombs, you can use the drone team to airdrop them to the position of the train battalion. When white phosphorus meets the air, it ignites the gunpowder and explodes, which is enough to form a large area of fire. Sun Chuanting's train is made of wood, and when it encounters fire, it will burn violently, enough to destroy the entire train camp position.

Fang Yuan ordered the Changshu Arsenal to create the simplest air-dropped bomb mold, because the load of the drone is limited, less than 15 kilograms, so in order to reduce the weight of the white phosphorus bomb itself, the shell is made of wood.

Then Fang Yuan bought the white phosphorus powder for the experiment on Taobao, filled the mold with white phosphorus powder and gunpowder, and then sealed it slightly with a gel, and the simplest white phosphorus bomb was completed.

In order to verify whether these white phosphorus bombs could really explode after the airdrop, he immediately ordered Su Hongyu, the commander of the drone team, to bring twenty drones to the Changshu Arsenal to participate in the airdrop test.

Because the combustion of white phosphorus produces toxic fumes such as phosphorus pentoxide, the airdrop test was conducted on a small barren mountain at least ten miles away from the Changshu Arsenal. Moreover, before the test, the area around the barren mountain had been designated as a military restricted area, and the local people were strictly forbidden to go up the mountain, or even to approach.

At the test site, the sun was shining, and Fang Yuan, Jing Jie, Su Hongyu, Bi Maokang, Tang Ruowang and others were half a mile away, each with a telescope, to observe the results of the test.

After seeking Fang Yuan's consent, Su Hongyu ordered the hundred households under him to use the Ling Qi as a signal to order the drone to start taking off.

As soon as the flag command was issued, 20 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) carrying a white phosphorus bomb made of each one slowly rose into the air, flew to a height of 20 zhang above the ground, lined up in a phalanx of geese, and began to fly towards the small barren mountain.

Twenty drone teams arrived in the sky above the small barren mountain, Su Hongyu gave the command to throw, and the twenty drones all dropped the white phosphorus bombs they carried and threw them at the small barren mountain.

"Boom, boom!"

The white phosphorus bombs thrown on the barren mountain emitted a huge explosion sound, and in an instant, the barren mountain was full of flames, and bursts of smoke rose into the air, enveloping the drone that dropped the bomb.

Su Hongyu didn't expect the burning power of this white phosphorus bomb to be so powerful, almost at the same moment that the bomb landed, it immediately caused a huge explosion, and then thick smoke filled the air.

She hurriedly ordered twenty drones to return immediately, and they could not stay in the sky over the small barren mountain. Even though she gave the order in time, five drones still fell down due to the low flight distance and improper maneuvering, and when they passed through the thick smoke, the temperature inside the smoke was too high and the flying parts failed.

Only 15 of the 20 drones returned safely, and five were lost for no reason.

One of these high-load UAVs is 1,000 taels of silver, which is a precious strategic resource, and if five of them are lost, it is 5,000 taels of silver.

Su Hongyu counted the losses, as the commander of the drone team, she could only immediately ask Fang Yuan for the crime, "Boss, our exercise was not properly controlled, resulting in the loss of five drones, alas! Please punish the boss. ”

Fang Yuan waved his hand and said, "It's not that you don't control it properly, it's that the power of this white phosphorus bomb exceeds my expectations, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Fang Yuan looked at the small barren mountain in the distance with a solemn expression, and there was a dull explosion sound, which had been completely swallowed by a fire dragon. White phosphorus is different from ordinary combustion bodies, once it explodes, it will scatter and splash, and then attach to the objects within the affected range and continue to burn, and only when the white phosphorus is burned out will it gradually extinguish, and the combustion power is huge.

In addition, the small barren mountain is full of flammable trees, and once the fire is started, it cannot be controlled, and it can only be extinguished after it is completely burned out.

Jing Jie was studying how to break Sun Chuanting's train camp these days, but unexpectedly, Fang Yuan made another surprise move and took out such a powerful white phosphorus bomb. If such a terrifying white phosphorus bomb was dropped on the battlefield, the so-called defensive position of the train battalion would inevitably be vulnerable.

Jing Jie said excitedly, "Boss, the power of the white phosphorus bomb is so great, it will break the train camp!" ”

Fang Yuan's face was gloomy, without Jing Jie's excitement. White phosphorus bombs were banned from being used on the battlefield by international conventions because of their great power, toxic smoke, and permanent maiming of enemy sergeants before they crossed.

At present, he had witnessed the power of the white phosphorus bomb, not only the power of explosion and combustion, but also the high heat of the smoke, which made him even more frightened. Even the drone that threw the white phosphorus bomb was affected and crashed, so you can imagine what the tragic situation of the Ming army that was affected by the white phosphorus bomb will be?

Although he and Sun Chuanting had different political views and different positions, this was a civil war in the Ming Dynasty after all. If he faced the Manchu Tartars, he would not hesitate to use white phosphorus bombs. But in the civil war, is it too good to use white phosphorus bombs, which are prohibited by international conventions?!

Before he first came to Jiangnan, he had used chemical weapons such as calcium carbide and sodium metal against the rogues in Liangshan, and there were a large number of casualties on the battlefield. So until now, he has never used a similar chemical weapon of mass destruction.

Fang Yuan groaned and said, "Third child, Sun Chuanting's department is a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and when he takes off his military uniform, he is also a common man of the Ming Dynasty, and he is a descendant of Yan and Huang in the same lineage. Isn't it too cruel to use this white phosphorus bomb against Sun Chuanting's Ming army?! ”

As soon as he said this, everyone present was silent and felt the same way.

The power of the white phosphorus bomb was right in front of them, and everyone was shocked by the terrifying power. Previous wars were fought with rockets or dropped grease incendiary bombs with limited power, which did not cause mass damage. After the war, the fleeing of those who should flee and the surrender of those who should surrender, unless they are intentionally killed, will not actually cause large-scale casualties among the soldiers on both sides.

And the emergence of this kind of white phosphorus bomb is to completely subvert everyone's perception of the mode of war.

This large pile of white phosphorus bombs was dropped, and the chickens and dogs were not left, and the vegetation was not grown, so where did the sergeants within the affected range have time to flee and have a chance to surrender? can only be burned alive, smoked to death by poisonous smoke, and those who are lucky to survive are also burned to death, and they will be disabled for life.

Moreover, most of Sun Chuanting's department are sergeants recruited locally in Shandong. If the war ends so cruelly, the damage to the people's livelihood and people's power in Shandong is also quite amazing.

Fang Yuan's Xuanjia Army is a murderous butcher who will do whatever it takes to win, what face does he have to claim that he is doing the right thing for heaven and hanging the people to fight crimes?! Will the people of Shandong be happy and convinced? !

In the face of Fang Yuan's question, others could be silent, Jing Jie was the first to bear the brunt, but he couldn't remain silent, Zhengrong said, "What the boss said is also true, but the battlefield has the rules of the battlefield, you can't just put a powerful weapon and use the life of the Xuanjia sergeant to win the victory!" I suggest that during the Northern Expedition, this kind of white phosphorus bomb can be used on a small scale, mainly to deter and persuade surrender, supplemented by attack and killing. ”

Fang Yuan agreed with Jing Jie's suggestion, and the United States also adopted this method in World War II, using two atomic bombs to force Japan to land. He secretly thought in his heart, if Sun Chuanting was there to observe and observe today, it would be great, it is estimated that there is no need to fight, and the war will be over.

Fang Yuan sighed and said, "Okay! The third child ordered the whole army to prepare for war for two months, and after the autumn grain was transported to Fengyang, he set up an army to go on the Northern Expedition! ”

"Mr. Bi, Mr. Tang, this kind of white phosphorus bomb, you need to hurry up to produce a thousand in the past two months. In order to prevent the secrets of white phosphorus bombs and tanks from leaking out, from now until the day of the Northern Expedition, I will send Jinyi guards to strictly guard the Changshu Arsenal. ”

The day of the Northern Expedition to dominate the world has finally arrived, and everyone is thundering!
