In the early morning of November 9, just after dawn, the Japanese troops on the south bank of the Huangpu River suddenly made a comeback, set up artillery at various dangerous positions on the north bank of Yangjiajiao in the lower reaches of Mishidu, and set up a position, as if they intended to continue crossing the river from here to the north.

The investigators immediately reported the situation to Wang Weiguo, who was in charge of intelligence work instead of Li Shuyang, and Wang Weiguo did not dare to slack off and woke up Bai Fei, who was sleeping. After Bai Fei learned of the situation, he took everyone to check it out.

When he came to the vicinity of Yangjiajiao, Bai Fei looked through the telescope and saw that the Japanese troops on the other side were busy collecting ships to build a pontoon bridge, and the people were coming and going. He muttered: "This group of damn Japanese really don't remember to eat, and they dare to stir up the crowd like this after two fiascos in a row..."

Wang Weiguo said: "Yesterday, I received a secret telegram from the 'Shanghai Fuxing Society' forwarded by Chief Chen Cheng and Chen, saying that the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army had been transferred from the city to Jinshan to land. ”

Xu Changsheng took over and said: "In my opinion, the Japanese army is pretending to be a gesture, trying to attract our attention, and the large army may attack from other places..."

Bai Fei said: "Battalion Commander Xu, what you said is reasonable, but it is difficult to say that the Japanese army will really not attack from here, after all, this is far away from our position, if the Japanese army really attacks from here, our defense is also a problem, and the rest is easy to say, but there are no fortifications here, and the Japanese artillery shells are coming, we can only resist hard, and there is no place to hide." ”

Wu Dazhong said on the side: "Tuanzuo, our cannon is not vegetarian, we have all measured the coordinates of the Zhuyuan along the river and waterway here, and now the cannon has not moved its position, as long as the Japanese dare to go into the water, we will definitely blow them up back to his grandmother's house." ”

Bai Fei nodded and was about to speak, when suddenly, a row of shells came from Jiangbei, but fortunately, Bai Fei and the others were a little far away and dodged in time, but there were no casualties.

Wu Dazhong was furious and scolded the Japanese: "Dog X, Lao Tzu hasn't fired yet, you guys should do it first." He turned to Bai Fei and asked, "Tuanza, do you want me to let the brothers do the same with him, give them some color." ”

Bai Fei refused: "Your cannons are too heavy, and they have all been calibrated with coordinates, so they are not easy to move. But the fight still has to be fought. I've got something new here, and you send someone to learn it. ”

As soon as Wu Dazhong heard that there was something new, he immediately sent someone back to call someone, and then asked with an expectant face: "Tuanzao, what is the new thing?" ”

Bai Fei glanced at the dumb man, and the dumb man understood, and immediately rushed back. After a few moments, the mute returned with his men from the quartermaster department, carrying more than forty shells. At the same time, there were several simple triangular brackets like slides, and a 12-barreled two-wheeled suspension gun carriage that was pushed by three people together.

Bai Fei pointed to a row of shells on the ground and explained: "This is a 107 mm rocket, weighing less than 40 catties, with a maximum range of up to 8 kilometers, and its explosion and killing radius is about 12 meters, although the power is not as powerful as the 150 mm heavy gun, but its biggest advantage is that it is simple to operate and easy to move." "It can fire 12 rockets at a time, but it's no more than 1.4 meters wide, only 1.1 meter high, and 2.6 meters long," he said, pointing to the 12-barreled two-wheeled launch suspension tractor. The whole vehicle weighs less than 400 kilograms without shells, and can be dragged by mules and horses, and even if there is no mule and horse car, two or three people can march quickly with a pull-and-pull push......"

It turned out that since he found out that the 150mm heavy artillery was very unfavorable for the march, Bai Fei had been thinking about how to reequip the artillery troops, but he had not had time to think about it carefully after days of fighting. It happened that there was no war yesterday, so he took advantage of this leisure time to carefully check the system, and he was dazzled by the many artillery pieces in it, so he chose this 85 domestic 107 rocket launcher in later generations.

After carefully checking its performance introduction, Bai Fei became more and more excited the more he looked at it, and said that this was simply tailor-made for him, not only did it have many features as mentioned above, but its launch was also extremely simple, as long as one shell, two wires, and a battery, it could be fired at will. Even the battery is not needed, as long as you smash open the back cover of the bullet tail and light a bunch of fire on the tail of the projectile body, you can also launch it to hit the enemy. No wonder this weapon will be popular in the world for decades in the future, and it is simply a perverted anti-heaven artifact.

After Bai Fei introduced the performance characteristics of the 107, he saw that everyone around him listened with relish, so he said with a thought: "Now I will demonstrate how to use it, I hope that everyone in the Protector Army can learn this weapon operation method, because in the future, not only the artillery battalion will be equipped with this weapon, but other battalions and special combat teams will also be equipped at the appropriate time." ”

Saying that, Bai Fei asked the dumb man and the others to push the towing gun cart to the front, put down the two fixed support feet in front of the car, fixed the gun truck directly opposite the river bank, and then personally picked up a shell and stuffed it into the barrel.

Wu Dazhong and several artillery soldiers immediately stepped forward to help, and after all 12 barrels were filled, Bai Fei watched through the observation and sighting equipment on the left side of the gun carriage, and then adjusted the pitch angle of the barrel through the disc crank on the side of the barrel. It has a minimum pitch angle of zero degrees, that is, flat shot. The maximum elevation angle is up to 60 degrees, and it shoots in a parabolic line.

After several adjustments, Bai Fei aimed at a high ground on the other side of the river, where several artillery pieces had been erected by the Japanese army. Then he picked up a long rope tied to the transmitter, motioned for everyone to retreat, and when he himself retreated to a safe distance, he suddenly pulled the long rope, and there was a whizzing sound of rocket launching, and 12 rockets were launched one after another in just six or seven seconds.

Bai Fei immediately picked up the telescope and looked at the opposite shore, only to see that the high ground had turned into a sea of fire, and not only that, but even the side of the high ground within thirty or forty meters was blown up.

In order to prevent the Japanese army from launching an artillery counterattack on the discovered target, Bai Fei immediately ordered everyone to move their positions. When they arrived at the safety zone, everyone was excited, obviously very surprised by the shelling show just now. Not to mention Wu Dazhong and others, even Wang Weiguo, Xu Changsheng, Li Hu and others also had an eager light in their eyes, staring at the 12-tube launch vehicle, eager to come up and try a few themselves.

Bai Fei said: "Don't worry, you guys, I haven't finished the demonstration yet." In addition to being launched from a launch vehicle, this rocket can also be launched in the following ways, which I will now hand over to you so that it can be used as a last resort in the future.

With that, he took the improvised tripod from the dumb man's hand and placed it on a flat piece of land. Then take a rocket and put it on the tripod, and introduce it while operating: "This side of the tripod where the rocket is placed has a smooth guide rail groove, and the rocket can use the guide rail groove to fly and shoot in a directional direction after the rocket is ignited. ”

"What I'm teaching you now is a different way to transmit, which is just two wires and one battery......"

The dumb man handed Bai Fei the green military battery and wires that had been prepared a long time ago, and after he took it, he glued the wires to the rear centering part and tail conductive cover of the rocket respectively, and then the two wires were connected to the positive and negative poles of the battery, and with a whoosh, the rocket flew out.

Bai Fei mainly wanted to demonstrate the method, so he didn't pay attention to where the rocket flew out and hit the other side of the river, and then he said: "There is another way to launch..."He picked up a rocket, knocked off the back cover of the rocket with a stone, and lit a fire with firewood at the rear tail of the projectile, about 1 minute after the person left, the flame of firewood burning ignited the rocket thrust part of the rocket, and the rocket was shot out instantly.

After watching these wonderful demonstrations, Wu Dazhong couldn't help it anymore, he couldn't put it down and touched the 12-tube launch vehicle, and asked excitedly: "Tuanzao, this thing is too energetic, it's simply omnipotent, it's too powerful, where did it come from?" ”

When Bai Fei heard this, his face immediately sank, and before he could speak, Wang Weiguo had already begun to reprimand Wu Dazhong: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't know what you shouldn't know." Wu Dazhong, how did you do it? Is there no door in your mouth again? ”

Wu Dazhong used to be a soldier under Wang Weiguo, Wang Weiguo was his company commander at that time, although now he is already a battalion commander, with the same rank as Wang Weiguo, but Wang Weiguo reprimanded him, he still didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction, and he also knew that he had committed a taboo and was at a loss, so he hurriedly said: "It's me who got carried away for a while and forgot the instructions of the regiment, I was wrong, and I won't talk nonsense in the future......"

As he spoke, Wu Dazhong gave himself two mouths.

Bai Fei's face turned slightly pale, and he said, "Since it was an unintentional mistake, let's pass it." I still say the same thing, you should know, I will tell you without reservation..."The implication is that if you don't know, don't ask around.

Wu Dazhong said: "Don't worry, I will never do it again in the future." ”

Bai Fei nodded and said, "Okay, let's start practicing in your artillery battalion, and strive for everyone to learn, but don't let everyone shoot a shot, that would be too wasteful of ammunition." I'll send you another 100, and you'll send someone to the quartermaster to get it later. In addition, when practicing, pay attention to the Japanese artillery fire on the other side, it is better to stay away and change places frequently, so as not to be hit by their shells..."

Wu Dazhong said: "Don't worry, we will be careful." ”
