Chapter 191: Super Giant Cannon
Soon, the devils captured a large number of people and entered the blockade ditch, and they continued to widen the blockade ditch, piling up the excavated earth to the outside, forming a high earthen wall, blocking the view of the railway. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info and dug anti-artillery holes in the blockade ditch and sent troops to guard the earthen wall.
For places where trenches could not be excavated, they sent heavy troops, and in some areas they were barricade with fine barbed wire, which was enough to block the attack of artillery shells.
These methods are stupid and require a lot of manpower and material resources, but the devils are rich and there are not many areas that need to be protected with barbed wire, so they can still afford it. As for manpower, there are so many people that if they don't have enough, they will be arrested.
And that's not all, they planted a large number of mines in front of the earthen wall to prevent the attackers from approaching.
The train is on again.
Zhang Quan really had no choice, so he organized a strong attack with Huang Sanlin, and the result was a great loss.
Chairman Chiang received a report that the Tianjin-Pudong Railway had been opened to traffic again. Called to inquire and demanded that the Tianjin-Pudong railway be cut off immediately at any cost.
Zhang Quan felt that this would not work, so he reported the situation to the headquarters of the group army.
Xu Feihu said: "The devil is still a sperm. It seems that small troops will not solve the problem, let's concentrate the main force and have a big sabotage battle. ”
Zhao Dengyu also said: "I think so, I took the 59th Army and gave him a big one, isn't it just a blockade ditch?" It can't hold back the attack of my large army. ”
Zhang Zizhong shook his head and said: "This is not the solution, the large army goes up, not to mention the casualties, even if it is a night attack, it also destroys their railway." But in the daytime, as soon as the devil's naval guns and planes came, we couldn't hold it, and if we retreated, the devil would soon be able to repair the railway. ”
Zhao Dengyu said: "What about us? He's repaired, let's go and attack again. ”
Xia Feng said: "Deputy Commander Zhang is right, we go to attack the devil's strong position every time, and the casualties are too great. Not the way. ”
Xu Feihu said: "It would be nice if there was heavy artillery. ”
Zhao Dengyu's eyes lit up and said, "Didn't we capture the artillery of the devil's heavy artillery brigade." Why don't you use it? ”
Zhang Zizhong said: "There are cannons, but there are no shells, and they ran out last time." Our arsenal can't make that kind of shell. ”
"Wait." Summer Tide, who had not spoken, spoke.
Zhang Quan asked, "Commander, what do you remember?" "Everyone is looking at the summer tide with anticipation.
Xia Chao smiled and said, "Didn't the devil bury mines there?" And aren't they hiding in anti-artillery holes? Don't say it, if it's an ordinary means, there's really no way, and the casualties of the hard attack are too great. But I have a way. Hey, little devil, see that I don't kill you. ”
Xia Feng said: "Tianchao, after talking for a long time, what is the solution?" ”
Xia Chao smiled: "I'm going to the arsenal, who will go with me?" ”
Zhang Zizhong was most willing to go to the arsenal, and he immediately said, "I'll go with you." ”
Xu Feihu said: "And me." ”
On the way, Xia Chao sat in the car, lustful vigorously, thinking of the tragic situation of the devil being abused, hehe smirked.
Xu Feihu really couldn't help it, and said: "Brother Tian, what kind of weapon is so powerful, it can deal with devils' mines, and devils who have drilled into the anti-artillery holes?" ”
Xia Chao said: "Don't worry, you'll know when you get to the place." ”
Zhang Quan couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Xia Chao's ostentatious appearance, but he didn't dare. Zhang Zizhong said: "You are really, what are you selling? ”
Xia Chao smiled: "I won't say it, suffocate you." ”
When I arrived at the arsenal, as soon as I saw Lu Zhengxin, the director of the factory, Xia Chao said: "Old Lu, I'll show you a new weapon, and you can immediately organize people to make it for me." ”
Lu Zhengxin wondered: "Commander, what new weapon can be made immediately?" Even if there are drawings, it is not possible to make them in a day or two. ”
Summer Tide picked up a pen on the table and drew on a piece of drawing paper. Soon after the painting was finished, he said, "Old Lu, look, how long can this thing be made?" ”
After reading it, Lu Zhengxin said, "It's that simple? Give me half a day. ”
In the afternoon, Xia Chao and others came to the weapons test site.
Zhang Zizhong looked at the guy in front of him, and said with some suspicion: "Is this okay?" ”
Xia Chao smiled: "You remove that word, it's a must." Let me show you. ”
In front of them was a launch canister made of gasoline canisters, and next to them were packets of explosives the size of a small millstone.
Xia Chao said: "This is called the Flying Thunder Cannon. ”
Flying Thunder is a kind of self-made weapon created by the People's Liberation Army during the War of Liberation. He also has an even more well-known name, the Conscienceless Cannon. During the War of Liberation, the People's Liberation Army had very little artillery, and when the weapons and equipment were inferior, the officers and soldiers created a terrifying weapon - an explosive pack launcher with a gasoline barrel as a barrel.
The main body of this weapon, also known as the explosive projectile, is an empty gasoline barrel, which is filled with propellant, and then the explosive package bundled into a disc shape is placed in it, and then the propellant is ignited, and the 10-kilogram explosive package can be ejected to a distance of 150-200 meters.
The lethality of this weapon depends not mainly on shrapnel, but on the shock wave generated by the explosion. Within a certain range of the explosion site, personnel will be crushed to death by shattering internal organs. There were no wounds on the body of the deceased, so it was called a conscience cannon.
The power of the flying thunder cannon in the summer tide is much more powerful than that of the People's Liberation Army in those years, because the conditions of the People's Liberation Army are limited, and the charge is mainly black powder. The thunder cannon of the summer tide uses high explosives to make shells. More than twice as powerful.
After the test, Zhang Zizhong and Xu Feihu's eyes widened. Zhang Quan immediately said: "Commander, I'll go and let the devils taste it right away." ”
On the night of the second day, Zhang Quan took a special operations squadron, and Huang Sanlin took the guard battalion to a place with a culvert, set up 20 flying thunder cannons, and the troops were also ready.
Zhang Quan fired a shot at the devil's position. The fighters also opened fire together, shouting for a feint.
The devils returned fire, and the muzzle fire revealed their position. The leader of the devil squad was afraid of being shelled by the enemy, so he only let part of the people into the position.
Suddenly, a flash of fire flickered on the opposite position, and then a muffled sound was heard. It's not like a cannon, and no shells are falling. Flying thunder shells, slow flight speed. After a while, the leader of the devil squad saw that a bunch of black things had fallen on the position, and he didn't know what it was.
"Boom", with a loud sound, the leader of the devil squad lost consciousness.
There was no suspense in the next battle, the devils hiding in the improvised anti-artillery holes underground were shocked to death, and the mines were also detonated. Nationalist soldiers climbed ladders over the blockade ditch and blew up the culvert.
Since then, the Tianjin-Pudong Railway has been bombed every day and completely cut off.
In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival of 1939 is coming.
