Chapter 5: The Silent Cannon

The flames that suddenly appeared in the sky dragged into a dark red trajectory in the sky. Even the winter afternoon sun can't hide its light. Undoubtedly that was something that propellant was used, but what exactly is that?

Whether it's Matsui Teru Daisa or Takahashi Taiichi Sasa, they don't know about it. After all, at this time, no country has yet played "Katyusha". And the people who see it have to be about association, otherwise they still can't figure out what it is.

Even if you have seen "Katyusha", even about Lenovo, there is another important question. That is where did the dark red ballistic that suddenly appeared in the sky come from, could it be that God suddenly changed his nationality to help the Chiyou army guard the mountain. It's still the same thing as that giant, please move the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Those who have not seen it can't tell, but the officers on the battlefield can guess that it is probably ill-intentioned.

That's right, because they watched in amazement as something fell from the sky with a dark red trajectory. Suddenly, the dark red trajectory was gone, as it had suddenly disappeared from the sky.

Surprised people want to rub their eyes and ask others. Is it only I who sees it, is it because of the pressure of the battlefield that I have some illusions? But before they had a chance to do all this, the main attacking troops on the hillside discovered something strange.

If you've seen "Evaporation Intensive", then you will be familiar with the following weapons. If you have seen the clumsy work "Iron Wing Eagle Yang" and think about the heavenly maiden scattered flowers in it, you will know what the large group of devil soldiers in front of you who are holding their long Type 38 rifles and bending their waists desperately to the top of the mountain have encountered.

Here, however, in the arsenal of the Chiyou Army, this weapon is called "Hail". It is one of the types of bullets fired by the "ballista", and there are other ammunition in addition to this, but here we will introduce the characteristics of hail.

First of all, it's extremely cheap, and its shell is pottery, or the one that burns badly. As a ballista shell, it is good that it can be moisture-proof and not easy to break. So it's just ugly to burn, and the charge inside is gunpowder at all, but it's slightly granulated gunpowder. However, it also had a small section of the bullet casing in the lower part, which also contained cheap gunpowder.

Despite the fact that the "Hailstone" is 75 mm thick, it can be seen from its charge that it is not too powerful. After all, it's just gunpowder with a granular level, and it shouldn't be more powerful than the spherical flowering bullets of the Civil War.

When the gunpowder in the tailpipe burns out, the tailpipe is abandoned. At the same time, a paper parachute was pulled out of the shell, and it only lasted about 2 seconds before it broke away from the projectile. At this time, because of the adjustment of the "parachute", the warhead of the "Hail" rushed down. Then it fell naturally and it landed on the ground.

It is worth mentioning that the hair of "Hail" is about 5 centimeters made of bamboo strips, like a probe. When it touched the ground and pierced into the earth in an instant, it struck the bullet casing inside the projectile.

"Peng!"

Shells filled with gunpowder do not generate too much power. At the very least, it will not shoot a grenade dozens of meters away, like an empty cartridge used to fire a grenade. The gunpowder in this shell only pushed the entire "hail" to a height of 5 meters.

"Boom ......"

This was a real explosion, with prefabricated fragments of the lower part of the spherical warhead strafing out. All the men within 10 metres, despite their helmets, had been pierced by the whistling shrapnel, and their heads had been broken as could be seen from the bare skin underneath their helmets.

The air-burst grenade is one of the most vicious weapons against rifles and the most feared weapon for infantrymen. After all, they have almost no dead ends, and as long as the explosion is within the explosion range, people will almost certainly be harmed. It may not necessarily kill people, but those who are hit by the prefabricated fragments will be unable to move by the powerful kinetic energy carried by those fragments.

Here please do not believe in the ability of any artistic exaggeration of ammunition. In television and television, the role of ammunition is often exaggerated or reduced because of the needs of art. And in reality, a person who was hit by a 38 rifle 6.5mm Arisaka rifle.

Even though he was shot through two eyes because of the distance, the bullet did not stay in the body. However, the powerful impact of the bullet, especially when it hits the internal organs, can still cause the person who has been shot to lose consciousness almost immediately.

Of course, this kind of injury of hitting the limbs or staying away from the internal organs may allow the person who is shot to fight to a certain extent in an emergency, and this is the real power of the gun. Especially don't believe those bridges that use people's bodies to block rifle bullets, if there are a few hundred meters, it is still possible. But if you are within 30 meters, whether it is a machine gun or a rifle, you will be able to penetrate people.

There is no doubt that the Japanese devils are annoying, but in World War II, their use of infantry tactics, as well as combat training such as formation and shooting, all had their guessed characteristics.

It's like attacking a mountain, and there is a distance of nearly 5~10 meters between people and people. There won't be a bunch of people huddled together, waiting for the shells to get out. If it did, it would have to be a militia or a soldier with no training at all.

However, this has to be ruled out, because the "hailstones" that bounce up when they hit the ground and then explode in the air are driving everyone together. If you want to say that you can't move, you will definitely be broken by the "hail" of air bombing. If you want to move, then under the drive of shells, the distance between all the people will become smaller and smaller.

Extremely cheap "Hail", under the fire of 5 ballistas, maintained a rate of fire of 15 rounds per minute. It's not fast, it's just like the rate of fire of a rifle. But the soldiers were driven in such a way that they had to gather.

Everyone knows that gathering together can give each other a lot of chances to kill. But if you don't move, the explosion without dead ends will kill people directly in the ground. So the Japanese soldiers gathered together and were killed on the hillside by pieces under the killing and wounding of aerial grenades.

This reflects the biggest feature of "Hail", which is extremely cheap. The bullet casings inside are the same as the "nail mines", but they are scrapped shells that are not even reloaded with gunpowder. As for the other things, that's really nothing of value.

As long as you are willing to dig clay, there will always be no less, and gunpowder is even cheaper. In China, where aqua toilets are common, there is no shortage of saltpeter, and there is no shortage of sulfur and charcoal. Especially in the firecracker shop, it is a bunch of existence.

Probably the only thing worth the money is handicraft, after all, without mechanized mass production, handwork will be more expensive. The people who only produced the raw materials and components of the "hail" were often Japanese prisoners of war who were in order to eat and not be whipped. If you calculate it carefully, it is not even worth as much as a 6.5mm Arisaka rifle bullet from the devil.

The charging devil soldiers on the hillside were blown up and screamed "wow, wow", but unfortunately no matter how they looked up, they couldn't die from the silent shells that lacked morality. Not a person under the mountain, after careful search with a telescope, he still couldn't find the location of that weapon.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――" Let's watch the first release of the literature network, please support genuine reading, support the author's creation of "Don't laugh and give birth to A group: 35761481; Email: [email protected].

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――Of course, if they weren't flustered or nervous, they might be able to tell where the ballistas were by those dark red ballistics that streaked across the sky. Then their Type 92 infantry guns were used for cover-up bombardment.

Of course, the premise is that the shells of the Type 92 infantry guns must have a power of more than 200 mm shells. Otherwise, if you want to blow up the ballista in the cave that only shoots through a small window, then you really have to say that the devil's Type 92 infantry cannon has created a miracle.

In a situation where there is no way to suppress it, the "hail" can live up to its name and keep falling from the sky. On the battlefield, the appearance of shells is not hateful. It's a pity that who has ever seen a silent artillery shell, even if a grenadier throws a 50-mm grenade, doesn't it make a sound?

Ballistas, a thing of ancient Roman times, were produced and used on the battlefield at this time, and there was no sound at all. And since they were attacking according to the coordinates transmitted by the observation post on the top of the hill through the "bamboo pipe telephone", it was even less possible to find out where they were firing through the woods and grass.

Again, for the special forces. There are no weapons that are not good to use, and there are no weapons that cannot be used. As long as you use it in the right place, you have to pull out the "pus".

"Baga ......!"

Taichi Takahashi pressed the command knife at his waist with his hand, and the expression on his face, as if he had been beaten by frost, showed enough anger. He felt like his troops were fighting against some non-human team. Otherwise, the guys on the other side who are called Chi You Jun are all mentally abnormal people.

But the disaster did not end, because the figure of the "nail mine" spreader appeared in the sky again. Like the nail thunder of the rain lamphead, it blocked the woods and grass. This prevented the Japanese soldiers from retreating, because the narrow mountain road was completely blocked by "hail" by this time.

Not only that, but they had just occupied near the line of pillboxes. Silent sniper rifles were killing their officers, machine gunners, grenadiers, and radio soldiers one by one in the ground.

"It's over, it's cut off!"
