"We can use flamethrowers!" Zhang Chi said: "Spray continuously at the mouth of the pit to drain the air in the pit hole!" ”

"Master......" Wu Yuhang said with some embarrassment: "We have also tried this method, but ...... There were devils shooting out of the tunnel, and the flamethrower was outside the tunnel for a short time......"

Wu Yuhang understands what Zhang Chi said, and as the commander of the new First Division, Zhang Chi certainly knows the shortcomings of the M1 flamethrower that the troops are now equipping, such as short range, short burning time, unstable ignition device, and so on.

The short range means that the Pyro must be as close to the target as possible...... This distance is 20 meters, and the Pyro has to be closer to deal with the tunnel, as it is the only way to get as deep as possible into the tunnel, but it also means that the Pyro can be easily shot by the enemy.

The short burning time is also a serious problem, a flamethrower comes up at the risk of his life, pulls the trigger and "whews", and the gas runs out in just a few seconds, causing little damage to the enemy at all.

The most unbearable thing is the unstable ignition device...... The ignition device of the M1 flamethrower is battery ignition, which is similar to the ignition method of the liquefier used in modern times, which is very stable in the United States, but the problem is that the Pacific Theater is a climate of high temperature, high humidity and high salt, and the battery will soon be corroded and unable to ignite normally, so there will be the phenomenon of air spraying, that is, it is not fire but oil that is sprayed out.

As a result, Pyros often have to bring one or two lighters on the battlefield, and when there is an air spray, they use the lighters to manually ignite the fuel.

However, these problems have been taken into account.

"Don't we have tanks?" Zhang Chi interrupted Wu Yuhang's words and said, "If you have a tank, you are still afraid of the devil shooting?" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Wu Yuhang couldn't help but be stunned: "But the tank...... This...... Tanks don't breathe fire! ”

"Why can't tanks breathe fire?" Zhang Chi asked rhetorically: "Isn't it enough to move the flamethrower to the tank?" ”

Hearing this, Wu Yuhang couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and it took a long time before he replied: "Master, this is ...... Will it work? ”

"How do you know if you can do it without trying?!" Zhang Chi pushed back with a word.

"Oh......" Wu Yuhang responded, and immediately asked the second crutch to find a few people.

Soon, Wu Yuhang opened up a test site in a relatively safe place in the rear, and then transferred a "Sherman" tank to find a chemical defense soldier with a flamethrower on his back.

The first is to move the excess items in the tank out so that more space can be freed up, such as shells, machine guns, machine gun bullets, etc...... These are redundant for the Spitfire, so the gunner and loader can be saved.

Then carefully stuff the fuel canister and the spray gun into the tank, adjust the fuel canister and fix it...... This is mainly to prevent the fuel tank from jumping around when the tank is starting.

When you're done, insert the gun into the perforation of the parallel machine gun...... The reason for using the Parallel Machine Gun Perforation is that the Parallel Machine Gun Perforation is in the turret of the tank, and the flamethrower can be mounted here to adjust the direction of the flamethrower by turning the turret.

"Go ahead!" Wu Yuhang shouted at the tank.

Under the command of the commander, the tank "rumbled" for a distance, and made some steering and other actions, and finally stopped steadily in front of Zhang Chi and others.

"No problem!" Wu Yuhang asked.

"Report to the group!" The commander replied: "No problem! ”

Wu Yuhang raised his head at a tire hanging not far away, and ordered: "Burn one and try it!" Stay safe! ”

"Yes!"

The tank quickly turned to the tires, then slowed down, stopped in front of the tires, slowly turned the turret, and then with a "peng" sound, a ball of fire erupted from the machine gun hole, and the tires were ignited with great precision.

There was a cheer around, and Wu Yuhang couldn't help shouting to Zhang Chi excitedly: "Master, it's really good!" This time, the devil's pit will be burned with us! ”

Wu Yuhang is right, although the M1 flamethrower has many shortcomings, if it is combined with the "Sherman" tank, then there are no shortcomings.

Short range?

The Pyro hides in the tank, and it doesn't matter how short the range is, the enemy can't penetrate the tank's armor anyway.

Short burn time?

Then bring a few more fuel tanks!

Unstable ignition?

A few more times will always be able to hit, the Pyro hides in the tank, and you can take your time when there is no danger, and it is a big deal to throw a lighter over after the air spray!

Of course, Zhang Chi knew that this would work, because this is how the American Spitfire tank in history developed, but it was not Zhang Chi who invented this thing, but an American GI...... This American soldier was relatively timid, and his superiors ordered him to carry a flamethrower on his back to attack the Japanese tunnels, and out of consideration for his own life, he privately mounted the flamethrower on the "Sherman" tank to carry out the mission, but he did not expect this idea to create the first American flamethrower tank and played a great role in the Pacific theater.

Of course, the Spitfire tank was not a new thing at this time, and it was not high-tech, and it was almost as long as the flamethrower was attached to the tank, which the Soviet Union used earlier. It's just that the United States has always paid little attention to the Spitfire tank, thinking that this kind of close-range Spitfire tank is useless.

The idea was: if the tank reaches a distance where even a flamethrower can spray, then do you need a Spitfire tank? How many shots of the tank cannon fired, what target could not be knocked out? What's more, at such a close distance, the tank can easily be taken out by the enemy! So I took it for granted that the Spitfire was denied, but I didn't know that the Spitfire had an extraordinary value in dealing with the specific target of the tunnel.

It's just one thing to burn tires, but it may not be possible to really burn the pit, so this "Sherman" has made some meticulous preparations...... This naturally includes installing several more sets of flamethrowers in the tank, and on the other hand, it also prepares the flamethrower and tank crew for fire prevention, because when the flamethrower is sprayed in the air, it is very likely that the fuel will splash on the machine gun hole or even flow into the tank, so that if it catches fire, it will burn itself.

This was very dangerous for the inside of the tank, which was full of fuel canisters at the time, and even if the Pyro was not careful or did not operate properly, it was possible to "play with fire".

But there is no such thing as war, and the word "complete security" has never existed.
