Chapter 61: No Conscience Cannon

Xia Yuan Xiong Mi smiled and nodded, "I say that this empire is of course invincible in the world. Inform Fujino Shaosa, just like that. Ordered the Fujino Brigade to press on all fronts and be sure to break through the positions of the Shina people before it gets dark today. ”

"Hayi!" The adjutant respectfully replied, then turned around and went down to give the order.

On the position of the 19th Route Army, Ding Rongguang looked at the approaching tanks of the Yue Army, and his eyes were about to erupt with fire. "I can't fight like this anymore, order all the troops on the front line, fuck me honestly in the trenches, and wait for the little devil to get close before fighting."

"Yes!"

Ding Rongguang turned around and walked to Xu Wenqiang's side and asked, "Do those secret weapons that your regiment commander have come to work?" Now the tanks of the little devils are about to rush up. ”

Xu Wenqiang smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, don't you know who our head is?" Rest assured! As long as the little devils get a little closer, we promise that they will not come back. ”

Ding Rongguang couldn't help but sneer, it is precisely because Lao Tzu knows what kind of goods your head is that he can't rest assured! But at this time, Ding Rongguang had no choice but to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, and he believed him once to see what tricks this kid could do.

"Kill, give!" Fujino Shaoza waved the command knife in his hand and roared loudly, directing the army to continue to move forward. At this time, according to the order of Shimoto Kumaya, Fujino Shaoza had already led the Fujino Brigade to press up on the whole line, and Shimoto Kumaya's tactics were very simple, that is, to use the cover of tanks to concentrate on breaking through the defense line of the Shina army in one fell swoop. At this time, under the suppression of the tank's firepower, the resistance firepower on the position of the Nineteenth Route Army on the opposite side became weaker and weaker, and the sparks of excitement flashed in Fujino Shaosa's eyes, and it seemed that the firepower of the people of the China had been almost cleared by the chariots, and they could no longer stop the advance of the imperial army. "Speed up the attack, break through the position of the people of China in one fell swoop, and kill it!" Fujino Shaosa let out an unpleasant roar from his mouth again.

At this time, Xu Wenqiang, who had hurried to the front of the position, turned his head and said to Bao Gang next to him, "Old Bao! The little devil has already entered within 250 meters, hurry up and prepare! ”

Bao Gang threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, and said with a smile, "Just look at it!" Look at how Lao Tzu cleans up these bastards this time! Sixth son, give the order to go down and set up our cannons! ”

"Yes!"

In less than two minutes, dozens of oil drums were erected in the trench, yes, some waste oil drums, at this time, the top cover of the oil drums had been lifted, and the thick barrel mouth was aimed at the little devils who rushed up like a cannon mouth. Bao Gang squinted his little eyes and looked at the little devil who was approaching, his heart gradually cooled, and when the little devil rushed to a distance of more than 100 meters, Bao Gang suddenly roared, "Fire!" ”

With Bao Gang's order, the artillerymen who had been waiting for a long time lit the fuses one after another. I only heard a muffled sound of "all of them", and the mouths of dozens of waste oil drums spewed out one after another, and one by one the explosive bags were accurately thrown into the attacking crowd of the little devils, and they exploded violently.

Not bad! The secret weapon that Jin Zhao said was the famous conscienceless cannon. The conscienceless cannon is also known as the flying thunder cannon, to put it bluntly, it is an explosive pack launcher that uses 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 production of the conscienceless cannon is very simple, and the interior is riveted flat. The bottom is embedded with thick wood, and the center is dug into a circular groove with a diameter of 15 cm to 20 cm, and the depth is about 10 to 15 cm. When it is used, the black powder is released inside, the groove has a small hole to open the ignition outside, and the flying thunder wooden wings or iron wings are four clamps -- wooden plates, with holes in the plates, and the fuses and detonators are installed inside, and the plates are packed with cloth or iron sheets, and the wings are tied with ropes, and 10 kilograms of explosives are fired with -- catties of black powder, and the maximum distance can be more than 200 meters. The caliber of this weapon is absolutely amazing - the barrel is as thick as the caliber is, and the powerful blast of the huge explosive bag will blow up everywhere it passes, the pillbox, the people and horses. Many of the enemies who were blown down often could not find any wounds on their bodies, but they were bleeding from seven holes and were shocked to death, which is also the origin of the name Conscienceless Cannon. After all, this explosive projectile has some similarities with the heavy mortars of 200 years ago, used at large elevation angles, with a short range but surprisingly powerful. The weapon was originally used against enemy fortresses, then used to siege cities, and finally used to show its magic on the battlefield of Huaihai.

After a few days of fighting with the Yue army, Jin Zhao was well aware of the shortcomings of our army's poor equipment and insufficient firepower. So Jin Zhao has been thinking of ways to solve this problem, so Jin Zhao naturally thought of this simple and powerful weapon. In some forums in his previous life, Jin Zhao had seen the introduction of the conscienceless cannon, so Jin Zhao and his subordinates began to study the conscienceless cannon, for which Jin Zhao not only summoned two fourth-level artillery talents, but also summoned two fourth-level artillery maintenance technicians to help, after several days of research and experiments, finally created this conscienceless cannon. Jin Zhao still remembers the scene when the experiment was successful, when Jin Zhao used a pound of black powder to throw out 10 kilograms of explosives, hitting 220 meters, 8 meters away from the target, and the landing point of the explosive package was blown out of a large crater more than one meter deep, and the land was blown loose within 20 meters. The huge power of the conscienceless cannon shocked everyone at the scene, including Jin Zhao. Although the accuracy of the unconscionable cannon is really unsatisfactory, due to the simplicity of manufacturing, the 19th Route Army can be equipped in large quantities and then carry out a cluster covering attack, so the disadvantage of the poor accuracy of the unconscionable cannon is insignificant. In order to improve the power of the conscienceless cannon, Jin Zhao and others made further improvements, and at Jin Zhao's suggestion, some iron nails, grenade fragments and other materials were also put into the explosive package to increase the lethality of the conscienceless cannon.

After the research of the conscienceless cannon was successful, Jin Zhao immediately ordered to rush to produce more than fifty overnight. At this time, it was just in time for the Yue army to launch a new round of attack, so Jin Zhao did not hesitate to send a special service company and artillery platoon to the Wusong front line with these secret weapons to support the 5th Regiment that was fighting bloodily with the Yue army. When Ding Rongguang first saw these waste oil barrels, he was still very suspicious of the power of these oil barrels, if he didn't know that although Jin Zhao was usually unreliable, but now that the war was tense, Jin Zhao should not joke with him at this time, otherwise Ding Rongguang would not let Xu Wenqiang and Bao Gang carry these waste oil barrels to the position.
