Chapter 340 Killing two birds with one stone(2/2)
The prototype of this weapon when it first appeared was called the "Levins Cannon", and its inventor was Captain Lee Evans of the British Royal Engineers.
The Levins gun was first used on the battlefield during World War I.
This kind of weapon is easy to source, simple to make, and can achieve certain results.
A gasoline barrel or a wooden barrel tied with iron wire is the best launcher. Like the wooden barrel used here, the bamboo barrel will explode as long as it is fired once.
However, Meng Shaoyuan was not prepared to use it a second time.
The operators work in teams of two, one is responsible for igniting the detonator and the fuse of the incendiary bottle, and at the same time, the other is responsible for pulling the detonation fuse.
The most primitive way of operation.
Moreover, when the wooden tube and bamboo tube explode, it is easy to accidentally injure the operator.
But at least, judging from the current situation, this will be the key weapon that determines whether the Hamaya Infantry Squadron can be quickly annihilated.
"Has the direction been adjusted?"
"It's adjusted."
Meng Shaoyuan checked the time: "Where is the Italian artillery? Get ready! Take the Italian artillery bombardment as a signal, and everyone is ready to launch!"
6 a.m. sharp.
As the Italian mortars roared, thirty "cannons" fired in unison.
Mortar shells, detonators, and Molotov cocktails flew across the sky and roared into the Japanese positions.
Most of the detonators and Molotov cocktails, together with the artillery shells, fell into the Japanese positions.
Explosions and fires came at the same time.
At the same moment, the 952nd Regiment launched a general attack!
The light and heavy machine guns roared, and tongues of flame spit out.
This was also the first time that the military command agents commanded by Meng Shaoyuan participated in a storming operation after the war began.
His secret weapon played a big role.
