Chapter 444: No Conscience Cannon

"General, can't the superiors bring grain from other places?" The adjutant asked Major General Aoki puzzled.

Major General Aoki shook his head and said: "Now the Battle of Wuhan is underway, in this battle, the National Government of China has gathered at least one million troops, and the empire has done its best to win this battle, and all strategic materials are given priority to the Central China Front."

The base camp has given clear instructions, the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army have temporarily taken a defensive position, plus the previous Battle of Xuzhou and the Shanxi Encirclement and Suppression Campaign, the imperial army's material consumption is too large, and ammunition may still be supplied, but I am afraid it will be difficult to raise more food in a short time.

Even if we can get food, it will not be an overnight matter to transport it here, and now that the logistics of the 5th Division have been completely destroyed, we will have to distribute food from the materials hoarded by our 10th Division early tomorrow morning, otherwise we will have to go hungry.

So, it's time for a decisive battle. ”

"However, the people of China are well guarded, and it may be difficult for the imperial army to capture their position in a short period of time!" The adjutant said worriedly.

"Tomorrow the air force will be dispatched again to support our operation, fortunately our artillery units have not been attacked, starting tomorrow, the imperial army will attack on all sides, we have big losses, and the losses of the people of China will not be small, at this time, it is the strength of the fight.

Even if you pay heavy casualties, as long as you can encircle and annihilate the dangerous anti-Japanese forces of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, it is worth strangling them when they are still very weak, better than the imperial army failing to lead the encirclement and suppression because of insufficient logistics supplies, right? Major General Aoki seemed to be puzzled, and seemed to be muttering to himself.

…………

After Guo Meng followed Qiao Youhua back to the regiment headquarters, she thought that Qiao Youhua would reproach her for risking out of the city without permission and entering the battlefield in the west of the city, after all, the task left by Qiao Youhua was to stay at the regiment headquarters and coordinate and command the defense of the whole regiment.

Unexpectedly, after Qiao Youhua entered the regiment headquarters, he suddenly turned to her and said to her, who was following him: "Political Commissar Guo, please go and help me collect some gasoline barrels!" We have seized so many devil supplies before, I remember that there should be a lot of gasoline barrels. By the way, there are also gunpowder and explosives packs. ”

Guo Meng was confused, and said suspiciously: "Gasoline barrels? How much do you want? ”

"The more the merrier!" Qiao Youhua urged: "Go quickly, this thing can help us win the next battle!" "Major General Aoki of the devil can predict that the attack must be accelerated and a decisive battle must be held next, how could Qiao Youhua not think of it?

I killed a large number of military supplies for the devils, and the little devils who have not been very spacious all the time must be in a hurry, so the next battle must be more fierce and cruel.

In a hurry, Qiao Youhua remembered that in the War of Liberation, the People's Liberation Army used a super artillery, the Flying Thunder Cannon, which is a projectile large-caliber artillery made of gasoline barrels.

Its caliber is generally as big as the oil barrel, and the caliber of a gasoline barrel is usually 300 mm in size, such a large caliber is twice as large as the devil's 150mm heavy howitzer.

Although it is said that the range of the Flying Thunder Cannon is not as good as the devil's heavy howitzer, the current battlefield shape does not need its high range, only its strong power.

According to later records, this kind of self-made flying thunder cannon of the People's Liberation Army is extremely powerful, and the shells usually fired can be about 10 kilograms of explosives, or dozens of kilograms of large stones or technical grenades, with a range of about 200 meters.

What is the equivalent concept of a ten-kilogram explosive package, which is enough to destroy a German medium tank No. 4 weighing 20 tons, and as for the thin-skinned tanks and armored vehicles of the little devils, they can be directly blown apart and fly out.

Ordinary bunkers and bunkers can't withstand the bombardment of flying thunder cannons, and basically they can be blown up with one shot, and even if they can't collapse, the enemy soldiers inside will be shocked to death.

According to historical data, in the War of Liberation, many enemy soldiers did not have any wounds on their bodies after being bombarded by flying thunder artillery, but they bled to death through seven holes, and finally after examination, they were shocked to death.

Therefore, this kind of large-caliber homemade artillery has a common name for a cannon without conscience!

If the conscienceless cannon is used to deal with the devil infantry group attacking in groups, it is definitely a super killer.

Qiao Youhua really didn't expect this before, and on the way back to the regiment headquarters just now, he thought of it by chance on the way back to the regiment headquarters, which was really a rush of wisdom.

Although Guo Meng didn't understand what Qiao Youhua was going to do, he still won with a "oh" and quickly turned around to handle the matter.

Commanding the war Guo Meng is not as good as Qiao Youhua, but managing logistics and doing political and ideological work, Qiao Youhua is also inferior to her.

In less than twenty minutes, a batch of gasoline drums, apparently twenty or thirty, as well as a large number of explosives packs, arrived outside the regimental headquarters.

It was the soldiers of the artillery battalion who sent the gasoline barrels, and the battalion commander Ma Yunlong was among them.

When Qiao Youhua saw him, he waved his hand to him and said, "Battalion Commander Ma, you came just in time, bring your best artillery, come and ponder with me, we will make a new artillery overnight!" ”

"New artillery?" Ma Yunlong was a little curious, "Yes!" ”

In fact, the process of making a cannon without conscience is not complicated, and there is not much technical content, and in general, troops with regular artillery disdain to use it.

Because it does not shoot far, and it is not easy to be flexible, but it is a very rare weapon for the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, which has not many shells in stock, and its troops are at a disadvantage, and it lacks the means to effectively stop the Japanese army.

It can definitely greatly enhance the combat power of the defenders and inflict tragic casualties on the devils.

Ma Yunlong and his artillerymen have been playing artillery for so long, they are not masters, but they are also proficient, after Qiao Youhua explained according to the memory in their minds, their eyes soon lit up, and they started to work with Qiao Youhua to transform the conscienceless cannon.

Dozens of artillerymen, driven by Ma Yunlong and Qiao Youhua, rushed to work overnight, and finally Guo Meng and others also stepped forward to help, and finally took the lead in creating ten flying thunder cannons at dawn.

Then, while the devils had not yet launched an attack, the flying thunder cannons were quietly transported out of the city, and all of them were deployed on the positions of the three battalions in the west of the city, although the officers and soldiers of the three battalions did not know what these somewhat unusual gasoline barrels were used for.

However, under Qiao Youhua's supervision and order, the pits and bunkers were dug for the conscienceless cannons, and from a distance, it was impossible to find the storage of these flying thunder cannons.

Others couldn't understand it, but Wu Ming, the commander of the third battalion, could understand it, he looked at Qiao Youhua in surprise and said, "This is a cannon without conscience?" ”

Qiao Youhua, who was a little tired, lit a cigarette and nodded: "That's right, I worked overnight, and I built ten doors, which is cheap for your three battalions, give me a good fight, and let the little devil taste the power of our super cannon!" ”
