That night, the military team held a simple staff meeting based on the results of reconnaissance and prisoner interrogation. The meeting was headed by Wu De, who was the person in charge of this operation. According to the 21st century time and space, he should be: Goujiazhuang demolition project project manager .
Wu De wanted to carry out demolition in Baoli, so of course he had to have men and horses at his disposal. Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, several important leaders of the military group were not in Bairen City. The only leader of the army department left by the leadership of the military group was He Ming. He Ming is an old soldier, known for his obedience to orders and strong principles. It is easier to coordinate with Wu De, who comes from the navy.
In addition to members of the military team, there are also representatives of professional groups from various committees. Goujiazhuang will be their first trophy. Although it is just a small bully village, it is a prelude to seizing larger counties, prefectures and even the capital in the future. .After occupying a residential area, you must be prepared for how to calm the people, how to search for materials and properties, and how to carry out publicity.
According to the situation at hand, Goujiazhuang's fortification level is not very strong even by the standards of this time and space. It is not difficult to directly break through it with force. The military team proposed a plan that is the simplest and safest for personnel: use rifles to clear it out Xiangyong on the wall then used protected construction machinery to directly hit the door. No matter how thick the wooden door was, even if it was covered with iron sheets, it could not withstand a bulldozer with hundreds of horsepower. However, this plan was a little extravagant. The construction machinery started from Bairen. Starting from Chengdu to Goujiazhuang, the terrain along the way is flat, which is no problem for a crawler vehicle. However, the distance is quite far. In addition to the fuel consumption, the motorcycle hours consumed by the machine itself are also considerable.
To put it simply, let the commandos use a ladder or simply a human ladder to climb up the wall of the village, occupy the gate of the village, and then open the door. However, after climbing the village, there is a high probability that they will encounter a counterattack by the local warriors, and they may have to engage in hand-to-hand combat. ——Most people in the military group are not afraid to fight with them with bayonets, but once there are casualties, the losses are somewhat irreparable.
"You can't make foolproof plans for everything." He Ming said, "Soldiers are made in wars, not raised this way." He lit a crumpled cigarette.
"The problem with the village gate is not big," Ji Sidui spoke on behalf of the chemical industry group. "Our chemical industry group has produced a batch of gunpowder that can be used to blow open the village gate. If necessary, we can also provide grenades."
"Is there gunpowder?" Everyone was a little surprised. In order to avoid trouble, no gunpowder and pyrotechnics supplies were purchased during the preparation of supplies. Where did the gunpowder appear now?
"Is it black gunpowder?" Someone remembered that hundreds of kilograms of black gunpowder were seized from the village warriors last time.
"It's not that low-level." Ji Sidui smiled proudly. In the past two months, due to the lack of necessary raw materials and energy, the entire chemical team had to focus on infrastructure projects: installing a few sets of production equipment, and currently installing factory equipment. After almost everything, this group of madmen with strong hands-on skills immediately started the trial production of gunpowder, a time-travel weapon.
The basis of gunpowder is the chemical industry. At present, the chemical industry group has complete sets of equipment and technology, but it lacks production raw materials, especially coal and salt. Therefore, the basic three acids and two bases have not yet been put into production. Fortunately, the chemical industry group has military needs.
I had considered it for a long time, and when purchasing chemical raw materials, I specially bought a batch of finished ammonium nitrate fertilizer - this was not for Wu Nanhai. Now, using this batch of fertilizer as raw material, an upgraded version - ammonium nitrate gunpowder has been produced.
Anyone who knows a little bit about gunpowder knows that ammonia nitrate itself is also a low-power gunpowder. Of course, the chemical team is not satisfied with using chemical fertilizers directly as gunpowder - firstly, this does not show their level, and secondly, it is not suitable for the limited number of people.
Waste of resources. The way to upgrade ammonia nitrate to ammonium nitrate gunpowder is to add some other ingredients to it. There are several formulas, some of which add strong gunpowder, and some of which add combustion materials. Ammonium nitrate gunpowder is usually used in blasting projects.
It can also be used to load explosive weapons such as mines and grenades. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army bought ammonia nitrate from enemy-occupied areas and processed it as gunpowder. The advantage is that it is powerful and has low sensitivity. No matter whether the bullet is hit or
Fire and vibration will not cause it to explode.
The finished product produced by the chemical engineering team is ammonium wood gunpowder. As the name suggests, wood powder is added to it - this stuff is everywhere in Bopu's sawmill without any trouble. The chemical engineering team used simple equipment to produce about five
Ten kilograms, they didn't dare to make more. This thing easily absorbs moisture and will lose its effectiveness immediately after it gets wet. In Hainan, the air humidity is relatively high all year round.
As for what was used for detonation, the chemical team had no mercury available and could not make mercury fulminate for a while. However, black powder was also a good explosive. Although the black powder seized in the Bairentan battle was of poor quality, it would have been better to have a little more quantity.
In order to ensure the quality of its ignition, the chemical team also specially re-processed and granulated the black powder, packed it into paper roll packages, and sealed the packages with wood tar asphalt to prevent moisture.
"Let's use a heartless cannon. It's easy to make but very powerful." Zhang Bolin looked excited. He felt that sending gunpowder packets was not interesting enough, so he had to bombard Goujiazhai.
"It's totally unnecessary." He Ming shook his head repeatedly, "The range of throwing the gunpowder packets is not enough, and it's not accurate. God knows where to throw the powder packets."
"Well, this will cause too much damage. If it falls in a residential area, it will cause great harm. We are targeting large households, and ordinary people must try to protect them." Wu Nanhai firmly objected.
Zhang Bolin raised a sharp question: "Well, who are you going to send the gunpowder packets? The enemy will use bows and arrows and artillery at a distance, and rolling wood and rocks at close range, plus gray bottles and hot dung."
He Ming laughed: "There are 50 SKS blocking the city, and the firepower is enough."
"But the enemy can hide behind the crenels!"
"You don't know the power of the m43 bullet, do you?" Lin Shenhe, a sniper present, smiled, "This thing can definitely penetrate the layer of bricks in the crenel within 100 meters."
Fifty SKS-D semi-automatic continuous fires with 20-round magazines, the firepower is comparable to that of a machine gun. Even the Invincible Iron King Kong cannot stop it, let alone throw rolling wood and rocks on it.
"I'm still not willing to accept the lack of cannons." Zhang Bolin was still unsatisfied.
The plan to break down the village gate was decided upon. The military team organized firepower to sweep the wall, and then dropped gunpowder packets to directly blow open the village gate. Everyone rushed into the village together.
"Things haven't ended yet after breaking into Zhuangzi," He Ming pointed to the map. "Actually, there is nothing in Zhuangzi itself. They are all ordinary people's houses. We only need to occupy the intersection and send people to patrol the wall to prevent anyone from escaping."
―This is very important! The key is the Gou family's residence. Once the outer wall is lost, all their strength will be withdrawn to defend it. So after we enter the village, the first step is to quickly occupy the front and rear entrances of the Gou family's residence.
Prevent broken troops from everywhere from retreating into the house - the fewer of them entering, the easier it will be for us to deal with them."
Wu De said, "When I was interrogating the prisoners just now, I learned that there are more than 200 Yong family members in Youxiang, Goujiazhuang. Most of them are important criminals wanted by the government from the mainland. Most of these people are involved in life-threatening lawsuits. If they retreat, they will die.
Struggle will cause us a lot of trouble."
"Is the inner house strong?"
"We drew a picture based on the prisoners' confessions." Wu De posted the picture on the blackboard. "Enter from the main entrance is an east-west cross street. There are seven houses lined up along the cross street, and each road has more than 100 houses.
There are five entrances, and as few as three entrances. These large and small main courtyards and side courtyards are all inhabited by members of the same clan of the Gou family. In addition, there are many side courtyards, group rooms for servants, and warehouse courtyards. All of these courtyards are self-contained.
There is a wall. But as soon as our army enters Zhuangzi, the Gou family and the young will become turtles in the urn with no way to escape. He will probably not hesitate to reward heavily and make those servants and bodyguards work hard to guard him, and those fellow clan members will probably also fight tooth and nail. In the house
There are several wells in it, which usually store a lot of food and firewood. If they really want to fight to the death, we can only rely on people to attack them."
"It's not difficult to attack a house. If you put a rifle and gunpowder together, you can take it down quickly."
"The most valuable things in Goujiazhuang are in the inner house. If they are broken, they will be of no use to us." Wu De emphasized their purpose again and again, "And we have to be on guard in case they get desperate and burn the house. The gold inside
All the silver, treasures and food are gone."
"I wonder how much treasure the Gou family has." Some people have already begun to be fascinated.
"Haven't you heard? The Gou family is still a pirate's den, and the things stolen from the sea are not lost. We are going to make a fortune!"
"The most useful thing for us now is not treasure, but food!" Wu Nanhai was more anxious than anyone else because he knew the situation of food reserves better than anyone else.
"Whether it's food or treasure, everything we capture will belong to us." Wu De laughed, "But soldiers are very fast. The scouts killed the second master of the Gou family today. Even if the Gou family is a pig, they should know it.
Someone is going to attack them, and they may move and hide their property. I suggest that we organize a team to set off tomorrow and control the area around Zhuangzi first."
"If we capture Zhuangzi, it goes without saying that there will be a lot of seizures. We alone can't move them all out. Do we use cars? There are no good roads in the area. We have to use manpower to transport them out. This depends on mobilizing the masses.
"
"If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten." Wu De thought about it, "Aren't the common people in Yanchang Village ready-made? Xi Yazhou did a great job there. He asked the work team to mobilize all the old and young in the village to fight for a while.
If you can't count on them, it's still useful to stand guard and carry things."
Everyone also discussed how many people to send, how much equipment and supplies to bring for the siege, how to arrange health support, how to write publicity notices, and how to identify the people for relief. We discussed it until almost midnight before we finalized everything.
