Chapter 127: No Conscience Cannon
No conscience cannon, the official name of the flying thunder cannon, is a Chinese military and civilian self-created artillery during World War II.
This thing embodies the crystallization of the wisdom of grassroots officers and soldiers, and mainly embodies a simple and easy-to-build system that is close to the people.
The so-called conscienceless cannon is actually the main body of the gasoline barrel, which is modified and filled with the special gunpowder required for firing, and then stuffed into a tightly wrapped round powder bag......
Ignite and launch special gunpowder, and a 10-kilogram gunpowder bag can fly 200 meters away!
This thing is all about ejection, and to put it bluntly, it's a gunpowder bag launcher.
Even in another time and space, on the battlefield where all kinds of sophisticated weapons shine, the big guy still relies on how thick the gasoline drum is, how big the caliber is, and the unconscionable enemy is terrified!
Zhao Hengyi has the impression that the title of the conscienceless cannon comes from the enemy.
This simple and easy-to-build cannon fires a powder pack, which can produce a strong impact and shock after exploding, and everywhere it goes, the pillboxes and fortifications are blown away!
Even enemies far from the point of explosion will bleed to death...... Shocked!
This is the origin of the name of the cannon without conscience, which contains the blood and tears of countless enemies.
Zhao Hengyi Now, tungsten steel is available, there is no reason why you can't make a gun body to replace gasoline barrels, and gunpowder is also available, so there is no reason why you can't get a gunpowder bag...... So after five days of tinkering, he really got a conscienceless cannon!
As an artillery, the weight of this thing is not outrageous, and even a team of three people can carry it for short-distance assaults, and if it is a long-distance attack, it can be completely disassembled and transported by mules and horses!
The operation is even more simple and easy to learn, and a guy like Wu Laoliu, who is difficult to read, can learn it in half a day.
When something is manufactured, it is natural to test the effect.
But testing artillery around Elm Bay is sure to scare the people of the village, and in this age of ghosts and gods, God knows what rumors will spread!
Moreover, although the gunpowder formula has been mastered, it is really not easy to make a ten-pound gunpowder bag, it is all everyone's blood and sweat, and there is no reason to waste it.
The gunpowder was so dangerous that the only workshop was built in a hidden cave outside the village, and only three people were in charge of the entire workshop, and ten kilograms of gunpowder were wrapped by three people for several days......
"Master, if this thing is really as scary as you say, why not go to the bandits?"
Zhang Daniu had a spy informing expression, and put his smooth and slippery head to Zhao Hengyi's ear, but his big voice could hear what he was saying from a distance of ten zhang......
"Hey, I forgot about the bandits, this conscienceless cannon opened on them!"
Zhao Hengyi is as good as a stream, a thief and a barbarian, and he kills with peace of mind!
There are no bandits around Elm Bay for a long time, and there are escorts and hunting teams, but whenever there is a sign of it, it will be ruthlessly exterminated.
But there is no shortage of bandits around Dangyang County, and even in most places, the bandits are still exercising the right to beg for food.
After solving the Zhou family, Zhao Hengyi's actions had the effect of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, and solved the constraints of labor in a short period of time from the root.
Completely eradicating the bandits in Dangyang County and even the surrounding areas, and building a peaceful development environment while training troops, was originally an important matter that Zhao Hengyi had put on the agenda, and now it is just a matter of testing the conscienceless cannon, which is no better.
Since the bandits in Cliff Mountain were completely exterminated, there is no such a powerful handmaiden in Dangyang County.
Large and small bandit gangs are entrenched in the mountains and forests of Dangyang County, with as many as 100 people and as few as 10 or 20 people.
Fortunately, Zhao Hengyi had already had the idea of completely clearing out the bandits, and the young descendants of the hunting team trained on weekdays, and one of them was to find out the details of the bandits.
The map of Dangyang County, which is now used in the interior of Yushu Bay, clearly marks the details of each bandit gang.
The convoy and the hunting party each dispatched half of their men, took parts of the cannon and three powder packets, and set off in high spirits.
Mantou Mountain is not high, the terrain is relatively gentle, and a cottage has been built halfway up the mountain, which hides more than 80 bandits.
The bandits of Mantou Mountain have a very good reputation in the vicinity, not only the surrounding villages are afraid of these guys, but even other bandits who are also bandits are not less tormented by these ruthless guys.
By now, there are no small strands of silk around Mantou Mountain, and they have either been annexed or killed.
The bandits in Mantou Mountain inherited the bad habits of all thieves, killing people and setting fires, looting and begging for food, and collecting ransom but tearing up tickets...... Compared to the original cliff mountain bandits, these guys are more scum.
The reason why it is so vicious and vicious is entirely because the big boss of Mantou Mountain has a different thinking, or rather, a different body.
It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the big boss of Mantou Mountain is a heavenly eunuch, so he does not allow women in the cottage, and if his subordinates are in a hurry, they will go down the mountain to find a way to solve it.
However, when they went down the mountain to plunder, the big bosses did not forbid the bandits to abuse women, but liked to watch......
There are no hostages and meat tickets in the cottage of Mantou Mountain, which has just been confirmed by the people of the hunting team, and there will be no mistakes.
As Zhao Hengyi's personal disciple, Zhang Daniu, who was always told by his master how to be expelled from the school, went out with the team.
The conscienceless cannon was reminded by Zhang Daniu that it was remembered by Zhao Hengyi, and in the process of manufacturing, Zhang Daniu made a lot of efforts, and if it needs to be improved in the future, this fool must have first-hand information.
As for Wu Ren, the honest man claimed that he was bleeding......
Zhao Hengyi could feel that even under Zhang Daniu's instigation, Wu Ren, who was born as a prisoner, also worshipped himself as a teacher in a daze, but this blacksmith who was framed by someone in the prison and suffered a loss was extremely cautious, and even often weakened his own merits and roles, reflecting the prestige of Zhang Daniu, the senior brother, everywhere.
Zhao Hengyi didn't take the initiative to say anything, but just handed over some work that required attention to detail to Wu Ren.
Zhang Da Niu is flamboyant, but he often has wonderful ideas, and most importantly, he is loyal, and it is still very suitable for him to preside over the smelting workshop.
Wu Ren is delicate and cautious, and it is also good to be an assistant to Zhang Daniu, a fool, and to check and fill in the gaps.
The two are rare to complement each other, and Zhao Hengyi doesn't have to change anything.
The effective firing range of the unconscionable cannon is about 150 to 200 meters, which is still a little too short, because it adopts the method of excitation by firing from the back, and it is necessary to get closer to the cottage halfway up the mountain.
However, fortunately, the mountain of Mantou Mountain is not steep, but it is not nowhere to set up a cannon.
In the hidden mountains and forests, the artillery carrying the caliber and the concept of justice was erected, and Zhang Daniu lit it with his own hands...... There was a muffled sound of stabbing edges, and disc-shaped gunpowder packets were ejected from the barrel!
