Natural gas is often with oil, and the oil fields near Zhurongcheng also produce natural gas, but Zhurongcheng did not make good use of these natural gases, because natural gas is a gas, and the processing difficulty is more than that of liquid oil.

Although this is a waste of natural gas, Lin Fei is not distressed, the current development level of the world's oil industry has not yet reached the point where it is necessary to cherish natural gas, and there are a lot of oil fields in the world that no one exploits at all, and no one even knows about them, especially the big oil depot in the Middle East, no one knows at all.

Lin Fei and Zhu Rongcheng learned on the phone that the project of preparing helium was progressing quite smoothly, and that 3,000 cubic meters of helium had been prepared, and after two months, all eight Monkey King airships could be refilled with helium.

Lin Fei was very happy and asked them to speed up the preparation, and at the same time urged the National Design Institute and the Ministry of Industry to formulate a plan for replacing helium with filling gas, and write a new airship user manual.

On June 21, 1900, the day that will always be remembered in human history, on this day, 18 countries declared war on the Chinese Empire, and the Second Nanyang World War officially broke out.

At one o'clock in the morning of 22 June, the 1st Armored Division sailed aboard the Leopard-class high-speed transport ship at the port of Dayucheng, and a day later, arrived at the port of Tianjin.

The first armored division's plundering artillery combat vehicle, the maximum travel of the track is only 80 kilometers, and the mileage is more than 80 kilometers, and the track must be replaced, so when it is transported over long distances, it needs to be transported by a truck, and after arriving at the battlefield, the tank is put down and the invasion artillery tank fights alone.

This type of truck is not ordinary, its official name is LZZ-40-1, "LZZ" is the abbreviation of "Army Truck", "40" is the tonnage carried, "1" is the first model, this type of truck is a car train, that is, a locomotive, behind the carriage carrying goods, each car can be loaded with two plundering artillery vehicles and a certain number of shells, machine gun shells, fuel.

In order to improve the load, this kind of truck sacrifices mobility and defense, it is loaded with two Diesel II engines, resulting in the front size is twice the size of the LCC-5-1 truck, and the mobility and defense are extremely poor, and can only be used in the area absolutely controlled by the Huaxia Army, so although the load capacity far exceeds the LCC-5-1 truck, it cannot replace the LCC-5-1 truck, and the mobile transportation capacity of the LCC-5-1 truck in the enemy's threat area is extremely needed by the Huaxia Army.

This type of truck also has a peculiar name - the five-color sacred cow, the name of the five-colored sacred cow comes from the "Romance of the Gods", the legend of the five-colored sacred cow is the mount of Huang Feihu, the strength is incomparable, the foot is extremely fast, not afraid of fierce beasts.

The troops stationed in Luanzhou were none other than the 900th Division, whose commander was named Wang Zhoupeng, who was an elite man in his thirties, who had followed Lin Fei for many years and made many meritorious achievements.

The artillery chariots of invasion are top secret in the whole army, so Wang Zhoupeng didn't know, he saw Lei Guang followed by a large group of trucks, each truck had two strange things, those strange things were driving down from the erection slope, he was very surprised, and asked: "Commander Lei, what are the things you brought?" ”

Lei Guang smiled mysteriously, "It's a brand new weapon, as for its name, I can't say it yet." ”

"Okay, I know I have to keep it secret, I won't ask, I'll give you a brief introduction to the situation of the Japanese army." Wang Zhoupeng said and brought Lei Guang to the front-line command post, the front-line command post is located on a high ground, the situation of the entire battlefield is unobstructed, opposite the position of the Huaxia Army, at a distance of more than 800 meters, there is a high slope, the high slope is several kilometers long, and several Japanese soldiers who probe their brains appear on it from time to time.

Wang Zhoupeng pointed to the high slope and said: "Look there, it is the assembly place of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army, and because of the obstruction of that high slope, our shells cannot hit it." ”

"These days, many vehicles enter the Japanese army assembly area every day, most of them are horse-drawn carriages, a few are cars, to transport ammunition and supplies for the Japanese army, and it is estimated that the Japanese attack has been in the last few days."

"How many Japanese soldiers are there?"

"According to our reconnaissance, there is about a brigade of about five thousand people."

Lei Guang shook his head in disappointment, "It's only five thousand, it's too little." ”

Wang Zhoupeng smiled dumbly, "Five thousand people are already a lot, Commander Lei Guang, don't think that there are few people, the Japanese soldiers are different from the Qing soldiers, a Japanese soldier is more difficult to fight on the battlefield than ten Qing soldiers, we have fought a few battles with the Japanese soldiers, and we have won and lost each other, unlike the brother troops who fought the Qing army in the south, and a thousand people can take away 10,000 people." ”

Lei Guang said with a smile: "You still don't know our strength, forget it, don't say more, when the battle starts, you will understand our strength." ”

Wang Zhoupeng said "yes", and then said: "While it's still early, let's go to bed." ”

"Sleep?" Lei Guang raised his finger and pointed to the huge sun in the sky at noon, and looked at Wang Zhoupeng in surprise, Wang Zhoupeng said with a smile: "Japanese soldiers like to sleep during the day the most, and they attack in the early morning, how can they do it if they don't take care of their spirits." ”

Lei Guang then led his subordinates to deploy the plundering artillery chariots on the edge of the trenches, and then began to sleep, and at about eleven o'clock in the night, the sentry secretly told everyone to get up, and everyone immediately got up and began to eat "breakfast".

The time soon came to one o'clock in the morning, this night was very quiet, dark clouds covered the moon, there was not even a trace of wind between the sky and the earth, suddenly, three fiery red signal flares rose from the sky above the Japanese position, Lei Guang's heart moved, the Japanese army was about to attack, Lei Guang immediately ordered: "The first armored division, all ready for battle." ”

The herald shouted "understood", turned around and walked outside, but was pulled back by Wang Zhoupeng, Lei Guang was stunned, and asked, "Master Wang, what are you doing here?" ”

"The Japanese devils are very cunning, these three signal flares are useless, it's just the devils who are teasing us, if they want to attack, they won't hit the signal flare to let us know, they will come quietly, just like the ghosts."

Lei Guang was suspicious, and sure enough, there was no movement on the position of the Japanese soldiers, and after almost an hour, I saw a large black shadow, like a ghost, attacking from a distance, Wang Zhoupeng nodded lightly, "This time it is." ”

"Commander Wang, how far away are the Japanese soldiers from the trenches do your troops usually shoot?"

"About two hundred meters or so, no matter how far you go, you won't be able to get your head right, and it's a waste of bullets."

"Okay, don't let your troops shoot this time, okay?"

"Don't shoot? If no shots were fired at 200 meters, the Japanese soldiers would have entered 100 meters, and it would take less than 15 seconds for the Japanese soldiers to rush through the distance of 100 meters. ”

"Don't worry, just leave it to us."

Wang Zhoupeng was skeptical: "Can your kind of big thing be easy to use?" ”

"Don't worry."

Wang Zhoupeng nodded, said "yes", and ordered his subordinates that the Japanese soldiers were not allowed to shoot when they entered a distance of 200 meters.

The Japanese soldiers on the opposite side did not know that the Huaxia Army had prepared for them to invade the artillery chariots, and they were very excited when they saw that there was no sound on the Huaxia Army's position, thinking that the Huaxia Army was tired and unprepared these days, so they quietly gestured and ordered to speed up the attack.

The Japanese army soon reached a distance of 200 meters, and according to the original practice, the Huaxia Army had already fired at this distance, but today, the Huaxia Army's position was quiet, there was not a single gunshot, and it seemed that the Huaxia Army soldiers in the position were asleep.

The Japanese soldiers were even more excited, and the person in charge of the command was a Dazuo, who pulled out his command knife and was about to give the order to charge, when a staff officer on the side hurriedly whispered: "Your Excellency Dazuo, I found that there are a lot of strange things behind the position of the Huaxia Army, and it seems inappropriate to charge now." ”

Dazuo shook his head and smiled: "The pigs must be playing tricks again, don't pay attention to them." ”

The Japanese soldiers shouted in unison, rushed to the position of the Huaxia Army, and shot while rushing, the bullets whizzed across the trenches, clanging on the invading artillery chariots, but unfortunately a small rifle bullet could not hurt the invading artillery chariots in the slightest.

Seeing that the Japanese soldiers rushed to a position about a hundred meters away from the trench, Lei Guang felt that the time was almost up, and ordered in a loud voice: "All charge!" ”

After Lei Guang gave the order, he personally boarded the Raiding Artillery Chariot behind him, and he also had to charge!

With the order of Lei Guang, 200 invading artillery chariots started together, jumped into the trench, and immediately jumped out of the trench and collided head-on with the Japanese soldiers.

Fifty predatory artillery chariots opened fire first, firing flares that illuminated the sky and the earth, followed by the commanders of the other 150 artillery chariots firing high-explosive grenades that killed infantry with their 50-millimeter main guns.

The high-explosive grenade smashed into the Japanese soldiers, exploded in the crowd, and the scattered shrapnel directly cut one Japanese soldier after another into pieces!

The Japanese soldiers were shocked when they saw these strange things suddenly rushing out from behind the trenches, and they would also fire shells, but the Japanese army was fierce after all, and if it had been replaced by the Qing army, they would have fled, and the Japanese soldiers had no fear when they saw the invading artillery chariots, and they raised their rifles in their hands, pulled the trigger, and shot bullets, and the results can be imagined, and the bullets bounced off one after another.

The gun commander manipulated the main gun to shoot shells, and the commander was not to be outdone, pushed open the hatch, poked his upper body out of the car, manipulated the light machine gun outside the car, and shot a rain of death bullets at the Japanese soldiers.
