Chapter 24: Gasoline Cans and Flying Thunder Cannons
"Good!!"
Li Yunlong smiled, this group of guys is really full of fighting spirit, worthy of being the soldiers and generals of the independent regiment, and my invincible momentum is not blown.
"The terrain of Mumagou is steep, as long as you occupy the commanding heights on the slopes on both sides of the river valley, and wait for work, it will not be a problem to ambush the devils who fall into the bottom of the ditch."
Li Yunlong pointed to the map on the table and said, "Before the Second Infantry Brigade of the Bantian Wing has reached Heyuan County, all departments have seized the time to replenish their strength, and we still have some time to prepare." ”。
"All the captured weapons and equipment should be reloaded immediately, and all the captured grenades, light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers, mortars, and so on, should be brought with them."
Everyone nodded, "Yes, Captain!" ”
"Since Heyuan County wants to control the hands of our independent regiment next, then when Mumagou ambushes the devil's reinforcements, Heyuan County will also have troops to garrison."
Li Yunlong continued: "This time, we sent two battalions, directly under the reserves, as well as artillery companies, reconnaissance companies and other departments, with a total strength of about 1,200 people. ”。
"There are 300 people left in Heyuan County to guard the city, and the rest of the people all go to Mumagou to set up an ambush."
Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan nodded and said, "Yes, regiment commander." ”。
"Without further ado, the brothers immediately dispersed and prepared to prepare."
After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he immediately waved his hand and began to prepare.
"Yes, Captain!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The crowd stood up and saluted, and then the meeting dispersed.
Li Yunlong stopped Wang Chenghai, the commander of the artillery company who was about to leave, and asked, "Your kid captured two devil-type 92 infantry guns, right?" ”。
"Commander, you don't want these two guns, do you?"
Wang Chenghai was vigilant when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Regiment commander, all the captured artillery is under the control of our artillery company!" ”。
"Don't worry, what do you want the little devil's two Type 92 infantry cannons for!"
Li Yunlong patted this kid on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You kid has nine mortars and two Type 92 infantry guns in his hands. ”。
"Take it all out, the Mumagou ambush, you must block both ends of the devil team for me. Do you have the confidence to suppress the devil and attack the mountains on both sides of the ditch? ”
Seeing what Li Yunlong said, Wang Chenghai patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, head of the group, I promise to block the devil as soon as possible." ”。
"Good!!"
Li Yunlong smiled, although Wang Chenghai is Wang Chengzhu's younger brother, his skills in playing with cannons are still very good, at least it is not a problem to point where to fight.
"However, the Second Infantry Brigade of the Sakata Wing also dispatched at least a thousand men and horses, and the area of Mumagou is not large, so it is inevitable that the devil reinforcements will attack the hills on both sides of the ditch as soon as possible, so labor and management will give you a move to urgently create a batch of heavyweight artillery!!"
Li Yunlong said: "Give your artillery company more firepower." ”。
"Regiment commander, the mortar and two Type 92 infantry guns captured from Kato's brigade, the artillery support needed for the ambush is enough, regiment commander, you didn't tell a joke, right? Make a heavyweight cannon? ”
Saying that, Wang Chenghai was seen by Li Yunlong in his eyes, the head of the regiment, are you a bad pen!
Li Yunlong saw the contempt in Wang Chenghai's eyes, and immediately coughed and said, "Don't worry, when did I say big things about your regiment leader?" ”。
"Let's go, go to the little devil's warehouse!"
Wang Chenghai, who didn't know why, shrugged his shoulders and went with Li Yunlong to take a look at the several warehouses built by the Japanese garrison brigade in the captured city.
Kato's brigade had a total of two arsenals in Heyuan County, and both of them were strictly guarded by the soldiers of the Independent Regiment at this time.
Li Yunlong and Wang Chenghai walked to one of the arsenals with more than 20 artillerymen from the artillery company, and saw that seven or eight rooms were full of neatly stacked ammunition boxes, gun boxes, and so on.
Outside the room, around the perimeter against the wall, there were at least a dozen or twenty gasoline barrels.
"Poof!!"
Li Yunlong used an iron rod to pry open the opening of a gasoline barrel and sniffed it, "Damn it, there's no gasoline!" ”
"Leader, it should have been used up by devils!!"
Wang Chenghai didn't know why Li Yunlong was very interested in looking at these gasoline barrels, so he guessed.
"Whatever!"
Li Yunlong kicked the gasoline barrel, and then smiled at Wang Chenghai: "Modify these gasoline barrels, and then do this!" ”。
"Wang Chenghai, you can do it!"
The more he talked about the back, Wang Chenghai's eyes lit up, "Regiment leader, what do you want?" ”
"The gasoline drum is converted into a barrel that is used as a package for firing explosives, and then the propellant is filled with propellant, and the explosive packets bundled into a disc shape are placed in it, and then the propellant is ignited, which is enough to eject a 10-kilogram explosive bag to a position of about 150 to 200 meters."
Li Yunlong smiled and said to Wang Chenghai, "How is it?" Can it be done? ”。
"Convert these gasoline drums into explosive pack ejectors?"
Wang Chenghai is also worthy of being the heir to Wang Chengzhu's mantle, and without thinking much about it, he nodded and said, "According to the regiment leader's method, there should be no problem." ”。
"This thing is very easy to modify, and the modification is guaranteed to be completed within half an hour."
Li Yunlong nodded and said, "As for the bundling of the explosive package, I asked the second battalion commander to send a company of men and horses to make it urgently. ”。
"Judging from the number of seized devil explosives, it should be able to urgently bundle more than a hundred."
After a pause, Li Yunlong continued, "In this way, modify the gasoline barrels, and temporarily modify ten." ”
"When the devil's reinforcements are eliminated, we will modify a large number of gasoline barrels in the future."
Wang Chenghai nodded, but said: "Regiment leader, this explosive pack projectile modified from gasoline barrels should have a name!" ”。
"Fly the thunderbolt!"
Li Yunlong said without thinking.
"Flying Thunder Cannon, Regiment Commander, this name is easy to remember!!"
Wang Chenghai's eyes lit up when he heard this, flying thunder cannons, flying thunder! Isn't it just a bag of explosives that flies when ejected?
"Of course!!"
Li Yunlong shamelessly gave this name, "By the way, hurry up and refit it, the modification time of ten flying thunder cannons should not be much." I immediately asked the second battalion to send a company to complete the bundling of explosives, and then the men of your artillery company will take them to Mumagou. ”
"Understood, Captain!"
Wang Chenghai saluted, and immediately commanded the more than 20 soldiers of the artillery company to start moving.
The soldiers of a company of the second battalion that bundled the explosives package also acted urgently after receiving the order, and the work of bundling the explosives package was not difficult, at least before setting off to set up an ambush in Mumagou, they should be able to complete the task.
At this time, the devil reinforcements from Emperor Wu City had already rushed to Yushugou north of Ping'an County, and were continuing to march in the direction of Zhaojiayu through Yushugou.
