After inspecting the goods, Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand, and Wang Xuexin and his party drove the mules to drag the cannon up.
Wang Xuexin lifted the canvas, and Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the things inside. That's it?
Except for the cylindrical gun barrel which has some appearance, the rest is simply junk pieced together from scrap metal.
Chu Yunfei frowned and said: "Brother Yunlong, you are not kind! Are you going to exchange this for my well-made submachine gun?"
Li Yunlong said "haha" and replied: "Brother Chu, this is the condition we have, there is nothing we can do! Look, we don't even have a tire, can't you just replace it with a new one after you take it back? And that?
You can also thicken the gun mantlet yourself!"
Wang Xuexin added next to him: "Captain Chu, you have bought a rocket launcher before, and you know that the valuable thing about this thing is not the rocket launcher but the rocket shells. The same goes for this cannon. The valuable thing is not the cannon but the shells..."
As he spoke, he moved a cannonball box up and placed it in front of everyone, opened the lid of the box, knocked the cannonballs with his fingers, and said, "This guy weighs 37 kilograms, and more than ten kilograms of it are
Solid gunpowder column, it goes without saying how difficult it is to assemble the solid gunpowder column, right? The solid gunpowder contained in this shell can withstand ten rockets..."
"Yes, yes!" Li Yunlong became more excited at this point: "Brother Chu, do the math for yourself. Each of our cannons is equipped with three shells for you, a total of nine! That's nine...ninety rockets
bomb!"
As he said this, he really cast regretful eyes on Wang Xuexin: "Damn it, did we make a huge loss? Xiao Dongbei, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Captain!" Wang Xuexin replied: "You didn't tell me what you changed!"
Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming also thought it made sense.
Not to mention anything else, it was just the solid gunpowder column that made money.
As for the artillery, if you go back and modify it yourself, you will definitely be able to make it better than the Eighth Route Army's.
The point is...
Chu Yunfei asked: "Brother Yunlong, you have to tell me how this cannon can avoid the Japanese planes and artillery, right?"
This is a tactical issue and another focus of Chu Yunfei.
Li Yunlong hesitated for a moment. He was not sure what could be said and what could not be said. He simply kicked the ball to Wang Xuexin: "Xiao Dongbei is still good at this matter. Let him explain it to Brother Chu!"
"Captain Chu!" Wang Xuexin replied: "As for the aircraft, let's cut the tires into strips and burn them. The smoke will block the view and the Japanese aircraft will be invisible. Then as soon as the artillery is fired, they will be pulled by mules and evacuated immediately. What happened to the Japanese artillery?
You also need to pay attention to the reaction time, usually it won’t work. Even if it does fire, the cannon is not worth a lot of money, just build a new one!”
This is reasonable and reasonable, and Chu Yunfei also thinks that it is okay to fight like this, because as Wang Xuexin said just now, "the most valuable thing is the shells."
As for those cannons...it's just an iron pipe. The cannonballs fired by the Japanese may be more expensive than them, so if they explode, they will explode!
Thinking this way, Chu Yunfei felt that there was no problem. He nodded and said to Li Yunlong: "Brother Yunlong, in this case, Chu will accept these things and we will cooperate happily!"
Li Yunlong put on a look of regret and said: "Brother Chu, we have agreed that the price will not be this next time. I didn't know there was so much solid gunpowder in this thing! This little Northeast...
"
After saying that, he glared at Wang Xuexin fiercely.
Chu Yunfei laughed loudly, and without any explanation asked his subordinates to carry the shells and drag the cannon away.
Chu Yunfei still believed in the matter of solid gunpowder.
After all, he knew the cost and production method of solid gunpowder very clearly. How much powder was inside could be clearly understood by just going back and taking the shells apart to take a look.
Chu Yunfei had even planned that such a valuable solid gunpowder column could not be wasted on the crudely made artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army... Not only were these artillery shells round-headed, but they were still filled with black powder.
If you change to a conical pointed bullet and install smokeless gunpowder, it will definitely be much more powerful than the rockets of the Eighth Route Army!
Chu Yunfei felt a little proud.
This business was not a loss, as I spent some food and a small number of submachine guns in exchange for the secret weapons of the Eighth Route Army.
At this time, Chu Yunfei had not yet realized that the output of solid gunpowder columns was a big problem... If only ten rocket launcher shells could be produced in a month, how many workers and how long would it take the Jin army to produce enough shells to suppress the Japanese artillery?
After Chu Yunfei and his party left, Wang Xuexin asked strangely: "Captain, why are we replacing these submachine guns?"
Wang Xuexin didn't know much about the Jinzao Thompson, but he knew that this thing was a bullet-eating machine. A 20-round magazine or a 50-round magazine would be gone in a few seconds once the trigger was pulled.
However, the Eighth Route Army is not suitable for this kind of equipment because of its small resources and low bullet output.
The Eighth Route Army actually also produced Thomsons, but they were all used by the guerrillas...
Regular troops cannot afford the equipment, especially the bullets are not many and are not versatile. Bringing them to the battlefield is like burning fire sticks.
The guerrillas didn't choose. They didn't have guns in the first place. Even if the gun only had a magazine and a few bullets, it would be better than a spear or machete.
Li Yunlong casually picked up a submachine gun, took aim at it, and said, "I'm not convinced!"
"Why are you not convinced?" Wang Xuexin was a little confused by this rambling statement.
Li Yunlong put down his gun, glared at Wang Xuexin, and said, "You have blocked the Japanese special forces every time. Do you still know what this submachine gun is used for?"
By saying this, Wang Xuexin understood that Li Yunlong wanted to form a special agent team like the Japanese.
Sure enough, the next second Li Yunlong gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Damn it, why can't we go to their territory every time when the Japs come into our territory to carry out sneak attacks? It's not like 'Ming Qian Yi'
Isn't it hard to avoid a hidden arrow? Let's also throw a hidden arrow at the Japanese, what do you think?"
Wang Xuexin secretly praised Li Yunlong for being a veteran on the battlefield, with advanced tactical thinking.
There is a modern saying, "The best way to deal with special forces is special forces." This meaning is similar to what Li Yunlong said.
If the enemy uses special forces to launch a sneak attack, it will be difficult for our pure defense to prevent it.
Because the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, the enemy has plenty of time to find loopholes in our army and then launch a surprise attack.
The correct way to respond should be to form your own special forces while defending, and use special operations to deal with the enemy's special operations, that is, use offense instead of defense. Only in this way can you maintain a strategic balance.
It was with this in mind that Li Yunlong decided to equip Jin-made submachine guns.
"It's just..." Wang Xuexin was a little worried about this: "Is there a little less ammunition?"
Li Yunlong smiled "hehe" and replied: "Do you think this deal is over?"
