Chapter 83: Grenades

"Wait! The second battalion was left, and Lao Tzu personally took the personal guards to the battalion! At this time, Ren Chao suddenly arrived and said loudly.

Meng Yan, the head of the fourth regiment, looked back and saw that it was Ren Chao, and immediately stepped forward to salute, "Lord Ren, why did you come here!" ā€

"Let's fight the devil!" Ren Chao said casually, "Your second battalion should stay as a reserve!" Lao Tzu personally took the guard battalion to drive the little devil down! ā€

"That's not going to work! How can an adult's golden body be in danger lightly! Meng Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said. Let's let the lowly go! ā€

"Less nonsense! The little devil is about to rush up, Lao Tzu doesn't have the time to give you nonsense, you just stay here for me honestly, and see how Lao Tzu fights devils! This is an order that must be obeyed! The guards are in the camp with Lao Tzu! Ren Chao said as he pulled out the pistol on his waist, waved forward and rushed out directly with the guard battalion, Meng Yan still wanted to stop it, but he could still stop it! He could only look at Ren Chao's distant back, silently praying that the gods and Buddhas would bless Ren Chao to return safely.

Ren Chao ran along the winding trench with the guard battalion all the way to the front line. "Hit me hard!" Ren Chao rushed forward first, aiming at a little devil and raising his hand was a shot.

As soon as the guard battalion joined the battle, the firepower of the Tiger Ben Army suddenly became denser, making the attack speed of the little devils even slower, while the casualties continued to rise.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander! The attacking troops suffered heavy losses, whether to temporarily stop the offensive! Major General Naomi bowed slightly to Katsura Taro and prayed.

Katsura Taro frowned slightly, put down the binoculars in his hand, turned his head to look at Tachimi Shangwen, and said in a cold voice, "Tachimi-kun, my heroic imperial samurai, if you can't overcome even this little difficulty, how can you expand the territory for His Majesty the Emperor!" Go on the offensive! ā€

"Hay!" Although Tsukimi Shangwen was extremely reluctant, he did not dare to disobey Katsura Taro's order, so he could only bow down and receive the order. Raising the binoculars and watching the soldiers under his command continue to fall, he immediately saw Shang Wen's distressed blood dripping from pain.

"Intensify the offensive! Be sure to take down the opposing defense! Katsura Taro ordered loudly.

"Your Excellency the Division Commander!" Immediately saw that Shangwen hesitated.

"Execute the order!" Katsura Taro roared with a stern face.

"Hay!"

"Kill, give!" In the roar of the little devil commander, the little devils rushed towards the position of the Tiger Ben Army one by one, going forward one after another, without caring about their own casualties.

"Puff puff!" A few bullets flew over and kicked up a burst of dust in front of Ren Chao, Ren Chao raised his head and shook off the dust on his head, at this time the little devil had already rushed to a distance of dozens of meters! Looking at the little devils rushing up densely, the corners of Ren Chao's mouth showed a hint of penetrating sneer. "Stop shooting!" Ren Chao hurriedly made a gesture and ordered his subordinates to stop shooting.

The gunfire stopped sparsely, and the little devil thought that the Tiger Army had no bullets, so he rushed up even more unscrupulously. "It's good to come!" Ren Chao sneered and said, "Brothers of the Guards Battalion! They must have taught you how to use the new weapons you just received from the warehouse! ā€

"Teach!" All the soldiers responded in unison.

"Bring it!" Ren Chao stretched out his hand to the guard beside him, and the guard reached out to touch it from his waist, and then put it in Ren Chao's hand, it was a wooden-handled grenade, looking at the grenade in his hand Ren Chao smiled knowingly.

The grenade has a long history, first invented by the Chinese. In the 15th century, grenades appeared in Europe, which were mainly used for fortress defense and prisons. In the mid-17th century, some European countries equipped their elite units with field grenades, and called soldiers who were specially trained to use such ammunition grenadiers. By the 19th century, with the development of guns and the reduction of castle offensive and defensive battles, grenades were once given a cold reception. Until the time of the First World War, grenades were widely used due to the rise of trench trenches.

After Ren Chao came to this world, after fighting with the little devil a few times, he discovered such a problem, that is, neither the Qing army nor the Japanese army was equipped with grenades, an infantry weapon. So Ren Chao ordered the arsenal to develop this wooden-handled grenade according to the sketches and basic ideas he provided.

Ren Chao's own research and development of this grenade is not an old-fashioned filled ** grenade, Ren Chao's use of filled explosives**, also known as **, was invented in 1863 by TJ Wilberland in a failed real yĆ n, but for many years after that, it has been considered to have been invented by Nobel, causing a great misunderstanding. Nobel invented **, and studied **explosives. **It is a very powerful and fairly safe explosive, even if it is pierced by a bullet, it will generally not burn and detonate, therefore, it needs to be activated. Although the cost has increased, the power has increased several times. (Note: The ** and ** used for filling are all exchanged by the system, and the arsenal does not have the ability to produce ** now).

It is worth mentioning that although it was invented a long time ago, it was not until the beginning of the 20th century that it was widely used to make various ammunition and carry out blasting. Picric acid was gradually replaced. Before the end of World War II, ** has always been the explosive with the best comprehensive performance, known as the "king of explosives". As a pseudo-military fan, Ren Chao naturally knows the power of **, and after learning that ** has been invented, but it has not been widely used, Ren Chao was extremely excited, and did not hesitate to choose ** as the filling explosive of the new grenade.

"Everyone, listen to me! Now unscrew the safety cover! Ren Chao unscrewed the safety cover of the grenade and said loudly, staring at the approaching little devil with his eyes, "Wait a while, you will throw it when I ask you to throw it, you must throw it to a place where there are many little devils, do you understand?" ā€

"Understood!" Everyone responded in unison.

"Ready! Cable! Ren Chao saw that the little devil had rushed to a distance of fifty meters, and couldn't help but shout loudly.

After hearing Ren Chao's order, the soldiers immediately pulled the lead without hesitation, and the lead of this grenade was delayed for about three to five seconds. Ren Chao silently counted two counts in his heart, and shouted loudly, "Throw!" Then without hesitation, he threw the grenade in his hand at the little devil.

For a while, hundreds of grenades flew towards the head of the little devil with a sneering smoke. Most little devils don't know what these smoking things are at all, so they naturally don't know how to dodge!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! The violent explosion sounded, and within a few dozen meters in front of the position, it instantly turned into a sea of fire, and hundreds of little devils were instantly torn to pieces by the shock wave generated by the explosion.
