Chapter 8: Hell Cannon!

Chen Shen was confident in what he was going to do, because he knew that if it could be used in the Middle East, it could be used in northern Myanmar.

Gas canisters and cannons, the savior of the guerrillas, once took down the miraculous weapon of the US Army's Chinook helicopter.

How did it become popular in the Middle East in the first place?

Quite simply, one day, a militant who was plagued by the lack of firepower syndrome suddenly discovered that his gas tank could be stuffed into the drainage pipe in front of his house that had been blown open by American shells.

Moreover, it is the kind that fits perfectly.

Thus, a genius idea was born:

"Why don't I just fire the gas canister out and use it as a big bomb?"

He immediately put his idea into practice, but he soon discovered that the power of the explosion was too small if it were only to be exploded with gas.

So, he emptied the gas canister and filled it with the cheapest explosives he could find---- ANFO.

This thing is a cheap explosive made of ammonium nitrate and XX and XX, how cheap is it? C4 is cheap, the cost of one gram is only one dollar, but ANFO can do two dollars a catty.

Thus, the best home-made weapon in the history of guerrilla warfare in the Middle East was born.

Since then, it has undergone a series of evolutions, with the addition of a rear wing, the addition of a stabilizer bar, and the upgrade of the charge from ANFO to Judison explosives, TNT, and RDX......

It has an effective range of up to an astonishing 800 meters, with a dispersion of no more than 100 meters on impact, and the explosive yield of a gas canister shell is equivalent to 150 kilograms of TNT.

Of course, Chen Shen didn't need the first trial production of the cannon to reach this level, he only had two requirements:

It can fly out and it can blow up.

He doesn't worry about power, he will do ANFO himself, and the raw materials can be bought in Mengka.

As for the propellant, although there is no nitrocellulose, it is simpler, and black powder can also be used instead---- this thing is also cheaper.

The only pity is that I was too hasty to find explosives when I searched for the arsenal of Dakang before, otherwise, ANFO mixed some TNT or RDX, because of the difference in detonation speed, it can even create the effect of cloud blast bombs.

Let's make do with it.

Don't seek all-round killing, just seek to take the lead in capturing people!

So, according to Chen Shen's plan, the four-person group started the procurement action separately.

Shi Dakai found the pipe, with an inner diameter of 250 and a pipe wall of 12, which was even better than Chen Shen expected at the beginning.

Li Bang found the gas canister and ordered six in one go.

Bao Qi found a repair shop willing to take over, while Chen Shen took matters into his own hands, buying black powder from a fireworks workshop and ammonium nitrate from an agricultural material store.

As for the other two ingredients used to make ANFO, XX and XX, they are really everywhere and you don't have to think about it at all.

Shi Dakai was very surprised that he could buy ammonium nitrate, he didn't expect that there was an agricultural material store in Mengka?

In fact, not to mention the agricultural supply store, there are also 4 hospitals, 6 schools from kindergarten to high school, and 2 nursing homes......

In three days, everything was ready, and according to Chen Shen's guidance, the repair shop customized the first gas canister cannon they needed.

The breech has no rifling, the shell has no tail, and it is equipped with the simplest detached wheeled gun carriage---- which is actually a common chicken bus in the countryside.

However, the simplicity is simple, but in the first experiment of pulling into the mountains, the effect was surprisingly good.

With the simplest fuse to ignite, the fixed barrel successfully threw the gas canister filled with sediment nearly 200 meters away, less than 30 meters away from the target position.

Enough is enough!

So, Chen Shen worked overtime and spent another two days to finally produce enough ANFO explosives for 4 shells, and carefully filled them into gas canisters.

In order to keep it secret, the whole process was completed in a small room in the hotel, and the volatile gas smoked so that Chen Shen's eyes hurt, but fortunately, there is an electric fan in the hotel, which can be used as an exhaust fan temporarily.

Finally, when he turned off the electric fan, it meant that his first attempt had been successful.

Looking at the four shells that were fully prepared, stars were about to pop up in Bao Qi's eyes.

Chen Shen...... No, Brother Chen, who is sacred??

can fight, can be a man, and now there is another one, can be a cannon!

Two cannons with a total cost of 4,000 yuan!

Isn't such a person the kind of guerrilla genius that his father said before?

Damn, I've obviously read the Friends of Military and Civilian Talents, the militia training manual, and even the Cold War version of 100,000 Whys, but why haven't I learned this kind of thing?

He secretly made up his mind that he would follow Chen Shen in the future.

Chen Shen is definitely not a thing in the pool, he must be doing great things!

Perhaps, the positions of those families will be changed in the future.......

Like Bao Qi, Li Bang's heart was also full of surprise, but because of his personality, he didn't show it too obviously.

But judging from the action of stroking the two "hell cannons" with his love, he was really impressed.

Among the four, the only one who has no confidence is estimated to be Shi Dakai.

Even after seeing the projectile effect of the gas cannon, his heart was still full of doubts.

"What if this thing doesn't work then?"

He asked, worried.

"Even if it's useless, I didn't expect it to be useful."

Chen Shen replied indifferently.

He was just trying to do his best in his preparations, but he didn't pin all his hopes on these two not necessarily stable cannons.

"Huh? Forget it if it's useless?! Then we'll ....... then."

Shi Dakai's eyes widened, but before he could finish speaking, Chen Shen directly interrupted him.

"If it really doesn't work, then we have two options."

"First, run away, Mengka will definitely not be able to stay, but we can still go to cast Mofa, or even run to Dachili's side."

"Second, use Plan No. 2 to continue to destroy Wanhenai."

"You still have a second plan?"

Bao Qi asked excitedly.

"Of course there is....... How can anyone make only one set of battle plans? I made six scenarios. ”

Six sets of .......

Shi Dakai was secretly frightened, although he didn't know what these six sets of plans were, but suddenly, his originally anxious heart seemed to have settled down some......

"Can you elaborate on that?"

Chen Shen nodded slightly and replied:

"A more specific operational plan will be synchronized after we have completed the reconnaissance, and the current plan is preliminarily formulated based on the information we already have."

"To sum up, each plan corresponds to a keyword."

"Gas cannons, setting fire to mountains, continuous attacks with precision rifles, fishing for law enforcement, waiting for rabbits, and storming."

"Is that roughly understandable?"

The three of them thought for a moment, but Bao Qi reacted first.

"Understand! It's a great plan! ”

And after he finished speaking, even Shi Dakai finally nodded.

"Very good indeed...... But I don't think it's safer to enforce the law? After all, you can catch them off guard...... Why don't we use this set? ”

Chen Shen rolled his eyes and said:

"If you're going to be a fish, we'll use this."

Shi Dakai smiled awkwardly.

"Forget it then......"
