Chief Yan, who was lying in the yard basking in the sun, suddenly sneezed, then touched his nose and said to himself: "Oh, oh, oh, which god is remembering someone from Yan again?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the adjutant Xu Youde walked in with a strange expression.
"General, there is a *** man who wants to see you." Seeing that Chief Yan closed his eyes and said nothing, Xu Youde immediately took matters into his own hands and said, "I will send someone to blast him out..."
"Hey, don't mention it." Commander Yan immediately waved his hand and said, "If you are virtuous, the two countries are at war. If you don't kill the envoy, it's just a Japanese. What are you afraid of him doing? Bring him in!"
"Yes." Xu Youde immediately accepted the order and left.
After a while, Xu Youde came in with a Japanese man in a suit and leather shoes. However, at this time, there were more than a dozen guards around Commander Yan. These dozen guards were all holding double guns, and the nose of the shell gun was already in place.
Open it, and all the guns in the black hole are aimed at the *** man.
The *** man glanced at the dozen guards coldly, and said to Commander Yan in a neither arrogant nor humble manner: "I, Kato Keiroku, have been appointed by His Excellency Okamura, Commander-in-Chief of the North China Front Army of the Japanese Imperial Army.
Come and see Commander-in-Chief Yan!" After saying that, Kato Keiroku bowed slightly to Commander-in-Chief Yan as a courtesy.
"It turns out to be Mr. Kato." Chief Yan said calmly, "If you are virtuous, please give me a chair."
"Yes." Xu Youde agreed and immediately moved a chair out of the side room.
Kato Keiroku was not polite, and immediately sat down opposite Commander Yan.
Commander Yan snorted softly from his nostrils and asked: "Mr. Kato, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Mr. Yan is busy with military affairs, and he doesn't have much time to listen to your *** people's nonsense."
"I brought a letter from Mr. Okamura." Kato Keiroku said and took out a letter from his arms.
"Mr. Kato, if you have anything to say, just say it." Chief Yan said lazily, "I am old, my eyesight is not good, and I don't want to read anything written by Your Excellency."
Kato Keiroku frowned and said: "Well, I am here to convey the goodwill of Mr. Okamura. Mr. Okamura said that as long as Chief Yan can draw a clear line with Chongqing and the Eighth Route Army, no matter
If we continue to insist on resisting Japan, the empire and the imperial army will be willing to secretly conclude a ceasefire agreement with Chief Yan!"
"Huh?" Chief Yan's heart moved slightly and he asked, "Conclude a ceasefire agreement?"
Commander Yan is indeed a little moved. Isn't it because the Jinsui Army killed and killed Shanxi to avoid the Japanese rule? If we can really conclude a ceasefire agreement with the Communist Party and draw a clear line with the Japanese Eighth Route Army, what's the harm?
?In Chief Yan’s eyes, the Communist Eighth Route Army was originally just a pawn used by the Shanxi-Sui Army to fight against Japan.
"Yes, a ceasefire agreement has been concluded." Kato Keiroku said, "As long as Chief Yan and the Jinsui Army are willing to cooperate, the Imperial Army will guarantee that they will no longer attack Shanxi Central and Southern Shanxi. The Imperial Army can even help the Jinsui Army deal with the Luliang Mountains and the Taihang Mountains.
The Eighth Route Army, of course, the imperial army will never cross the Luliang Mountains and Taihang Mountains without the permission of Commander Yan."
"Why should I trust you *** people?" Although Commander Yan was moved, he was not that easy to deceive.
Kato Keiroku said: "In order to show the sincerity of the imperial army, Lord Okamura has a good proposal in the letter."
At this time, Chief Yan couldn't stand it any longer, and immediately signaled Xu Youde to open the envelope. After Xu Youde opened the envelope, he checked the letter several times and made sure that there was no poison on it before handing it over to Chief Yan. Chief Yan responded as quickly as possible
After reading the letter quickly, he couldn't help but say with emotion: "Okamura is willing to trade arms with Russia!?"
"That's right." Kato Keiroku said, "Now, Commander Yan should believe in the sincerity of the imperial army, right?"
Chief Yan pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "Oh, I remembered it. Yue Weihan's Thirty-ninth Group Army and the Eighth Route Army just bought up all the supplies in southern Hebei Province a while ago, and southern Hebei Province is home to Hebei, Cha, Shandong, and Suisu provinces.
The main grain-producing area and the only cotton-producing area, if I guessed correctly, you must have encountered difficulties, right?"
"The Imperial Army did encounter some difficulties." Kato Keiroku said, "However, this difficulty is not insurmountable."
After saying this, Kato Keiroku said again: "Sir Yan, please give me a pleasant word, are you willing to trade with the imperial army?"
"Mr. Kato, please rest in the hotel in the city first. I will consider it for a few days before replying to you." After speaking, Chief Yan stood up to see the guest off.
After seeing off Kato Keiroku, the aide-de-camp Xu Youde said: "Chief Commander, you don't really want to do business with the Japanese, do you?"
"Why not?" Chief Yan said, "The Japanese are rushing to deliver arms to our door, why don't we? Where can you find such a good thing?"
"But doing business with Japanese people is tantamount to treason, and you will be called a traitor by the Chinese people."
"What a treason, what a traitor!" Chief Yan said disapprovingly, "The Shanxi-Sui Army is beating people to death and living for the sake of the Shanxi people to have a good life? I don't know anything else, only the Jin-Sui Army.
Only by becoming stronger can we better protect the people of Shanxi. As long as the Jinsui Army can obtain arms and become stronger, no matter who it is doing business with?"
"Then..." Xu Youde said, "Why didn't the chief executive agree to that little *** just now?"
"You are still too young." Chief Yan said, "If we are too anxious about this matter, it will be difficult to negotiate the price when doing business. We will have to wait for a few days to wait for the little girl to be anxious.
I'm here to ask for help, and I'll keep bargaining hard. People in Shanxi always pay attention to fairness when doing business, but it's different when you do business with a little ***."
"I understand my humble position." Xu Youde said sincerely, "The main seat is the main seat, it's high."
Taihang Arsenal, Scientific Research Institute.
Yue Weihan is on-site in the trial production workshop to guide the development of the "Heartless Cannon".
The core equipment of the Heartless Cannon is actually an abandoned oxygen cylinder. The outer diameter of the oxygen cylinder reaches an astonishing 219mm, the wall thickness is 8mm, and the actual diameter is 203mm. A defuse hole is drilled at the bottom of the oxygen cylinder, and in the middle
There is a bracket welded to the bottom and the bottom, which can be quickly hinged to the movable bracket.
Although this "heartless cannon" has a huge caliber, its weight is definitely up to the standard of a mountain cannon.
The main body of the gun made of oxygen cylinders weighs more than 60 kilograms, and the bracket is only more than 50 kilograms. It can be disassembled and can be carried over mountains and ridges by just two people.
The "heartless cannon" with a slightly more technical content is the "cannonball".
The artillery shell is actually divided into two parts, the bottom is the primer package, and the top is the "shotgun".
The primer bag is a cylindrical special explosive bag. Its function is to throw out the "shotgun" on it. The outer diameter of the primer bag is about 200mm. As for the length, it depends on the equivalent of the "shotgun" thrown.
There is a difference. Generally speaking, the charge of the primer is about 2 kilograms.
The so-called "shotgun" actually doesn't have much technical content.
To put it bluntly, it is a thin tin can filled with black powder and small steel arrows. The diameter of the tin can is 200mm, which is 3mm smaller than the inner diameter of the oxygen cylinder. In order to ensure convenient and quick reloading, the 3mm gap is already the limit. If the gap is smaller,
It will cause difficulty in loading ammunition. After all, this is a primitive muzzle-loading gun, which is incomparable with modern artillery.
Since the gap between the shell and the barrel reaches a terrifying 3mm, the range of the "unscrupulous cannon" is incomparable to that of modern artillery. The range of modern artillery is only more than ten kilometers, while the range of the "unscrupulous cannon" is only seven or eight kilometers.
100 meters, but as a "portable" infantry support artillery, this range is definitely enough.
In addition, the heartless gun is still a smoothbore gun, so the shooting accuracy is difficult to guarantee.
Fortunately, the large-scale and large-scale "shotgun" launched by the Heartless Cannon makes up for the lack of accuracy. Originally, once the "shotgun" loaded with more than ten kilograms of black gunpowder and thousands of small steel arrows explodes in the air, the killing radius is absolutely certain.
More than 50 meters, in the face of such a terrifying killing radius, what's the harm in having a little accuracy?
Finally, there is the problem of timing detonation of "shotguns". The current equipment and background of the Etherline Arsenal make it impossible to mass-produce timing fuzes. However, the original level of "timing fuzes" is very simple. Just put the fuse of the "shotguns" to
Just lock the hook connected to the outside of the gun barrel. Once the "shotgun" is fired, the fuse will be pulled. Then adjust the length of the fuse according to the distance of the gun, and you can basically achieve the effect of detonating in the air.
At this moment, Yue Weihan was watching Pi Xiaocheng carefully loading black gunpowder and small steel arrows into the "shotgun".
These small steel arrows are all specially made, with a diameter of no more than 2mm and a length of no more than 30mm. There is a rough tail fin at the end. Of course, this tail fin is not to stabilize the flight direction, but to expand the killing effect. The weight of such a small steel arrow is only 0.8
Well, Pi Xiaocheng put more than a thousand small steel arrows into the thin tin can of "shotgun".
Seeing this, Yue Weihan couldn't help but feel a little hairy. If such a "shotgun" exploded on his head, what kind of terrible consequences would there be? There is no doubt that he would definitely be hit by thousands of small steel arrows.
If you were shot into a hedgehog, even if you were lucky enough to survive, very few of the parts on your body would be intact.
The name "heartless gunman" is really apt, he is so damn heartless!
At this moment, even Yue Weihan couldn't wait to test-fire the "heartless gun".
But at this moment, Operations Director Ma Zhankui walked in with a sullen face, stood at attention and saluted: "General Sir, I just received a report from an informant that someone from *** secretly contacted Chief Yan! After a thorough investigation, it is now possible
We are basically certain that the person who secretly contacted Commander Yan was Kato Keiroku, the head of the Special High School Section of the Peking Secret Service!"
"The Japanese are secretly in contact with Chief Yan?" Yue Weihan suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Why did the Japanese come into contact with Chief Yan at this time? What does Neji Okamura, an old devil, want to do?
