Chapter 1129 The most suitable battlefield for unscrupulous guns
However, Liu Lang was still very sensible and knew that overflowing would lead to overflowing. He did not continue to whet the appetites of the two chiefs and directly pulled them behind the mountain.
The engineer company of the independent regiment as a reserve team has already made preparations. A gasoline barrel with a small hole dug out was placed on a mound. Most of the lower half of the barrel was buried in the soil and was covered by the mound.
The mouth of the oil drum is raised high and faces the mountain at a 45-degree angle.
"Eh? You, Commander Liu, are so smart! You knew we would ask, so you have been ready and waiting for us." The future second-generation leader smiled slightly, and teased Liu Lang: "But what are you trying to do?
!Using gasoline barrels as cannons? This is not okay! It will explode, so you have to do it."
"Hey, sirs, an old man once said that practice is the only criterion for testing truth. You two haven't read it yet, how do you know it's not working?" Liu Lang directly pirated that man's words without any sense of shame.
come over.
In fact, this sentence will be spread so widely in the future that it will be imprinted in almost everyone's bones.
Their eyes lit up at the same time.
This Captain Liu is not an ordinary person! Such extremely philosophical words are spoken casually, and they sound somewhat like the materialism of a Red Party member.
"Okay, let's face it, we have to take a closer look at what kind of medicine you are selling in the gasoline barrel." The future military god made a direct decision and walked closer to the gasoline barrel placed on the mound to observe carefully.
But looking left and right, I didn't see any flowers, gasoline barrels... or gasoline barrels. It wasn't because Mr. Lu casually wrote, "There are two trees in front of my house, one is a jujube."
tree, and the other is a jujube tree" can produce thoughts about longing for the light. Liu Lang didn't want to tell his junior high school Chinese teachers that Mr. Lu in this period might be for... The word count of water. In this era, too
The fee is paid based on the number of words... With the identity and status of the master, he may be the legendary buyout master!
Liu Lang smiled slightly. If you could see the principle by looking at a gasoline barrel, then the Red Army would not have used this "heartless cannon" similar to the British Levens projectile cannon in World War I until ten years later.
"Come on, Lao Wu, let's show the two officers how to fire the thunder cannon." Liu Langchong ordered Wu Chenghu, the commander of the engineer company who was standing beside him.
"Yes!" Wu Chenghu took a step forward and got busy with the assistance of two soldiers.
Liu Lang took the two men fifteen meters away and hid behind a bunker to watch.
Although the engineering company and artillery company, including several infantry battalions, had done training on firing mine cannons with gasoline barrels or even digging pits before departure, they were still dangerous. If something happened to these two here, one would
One of the most talented army generals of the Red Party, and a second-generation leader of the future Republic, no matter how long the plan was to beat up the 20th Division, came to nothing, and the future will even change because of it. Then Liu Lang really wants to wipe his neck.
Hanged himself.
It's okay to show off, but you absolutely can't take these two people to show off and fly together. Liu Tuanzuo is becoming more and more mature now. He is no longer the enthusiastic person who led 28 soldiers to the headquarters of thousands of Japanese troops five years ago.
A young man.
The flying thunder cannon seems to be very simple, with a total of four key steps: launch tube, propellant, isolation plate, and explosive package.
The launch tube is a gasoline barrel, the propellant is the gunpowder used to knock out the explosive package, and the isolation board is a thick wooden board. The size of the explosive package is up to you, as long as it is not stuck in the gasoline barrel.
If it's really stuck, everyone, just run away! See who can run fifty meters in five seconds. A 20-kilogram explosive bag can't jam a gasoline barrel. And 20 kilograms of explosives can't.
A kilogram of explosives is enough to kill all living things within a radius of several hundred meters.
As a result, the two commanders of the 129th Division, who were carefully brought to the bunker by Liu Lang, watched dumbfoundedly as the soldiers from the Engineer Company of the Independent Regiment dropped an explosive package covered with thick wooden boards into a gasoline barrel, and then ignited the gasoline.
A fuse protruding from a small hole in the barrel.
At the same time, everyone was lying down.
A few seconds later, there was a loud "boom" sound, and a stream of fire and gunpowder smoke erupted from the mouth of the gasoline barrel.
The naked eye can clearly see that the explosive package tied to a thick wooden board is rolling in the air but flying stubbornly into the sky, and then falls in a beautiful arc.
It landed in an open space at least 200 meters away.
Although it did not explode, the gasoline barrel actually dropped an explosive package 200 meters away.
"Two sirs, this explosive package is not equipped with a delayed detonator. It will be installed during actual combat." Liu Lang explained to the two people who stood up in a daze.
"Are you... an explosive pack launcher?" The future military god stared blankly at the explosive pack still rolling on the ground and murmured.
"No, I had no conscience in naming it Cannon." Liu Lang shook his head and stubbornly named it after someone from the future.
"What a heartless cannon, very appropriate! Captain Liu, this invention of yours is amazing! It will play a big role in our army's future offensive. In the future, even if we don't have cannons, we won't be afraid. As long as there are explosive packs,
The enemy is nothing to worry about." The excitement on the future military god's face was beyond words.
How could a future military god who has joined the army for nearly 20 years and has extremely rich combat experience not know the use of being able to throw explosive packets more than 200 meters? That is almost equivalent to a super-large-caliber mortar, which can throw ten kilograms of explosive packets at
On the enemy's position 200 meters away, whether it is a bunker or a fortification, under the attack of a 10 kilogram explosive pack, even if it is not blown up, the people inside can be shaken to death.
"Hey, Commander Liu is too flattering. First of all, this is not my invention, but the British projectile artillery principle during World War I. Secondly, Commander Liu can't have too much expectations for this. If we weren't on the mountain, we were condescending.
For delivery, the range of a seven or eight kilogram explosive package is only about 150 meters, and because it needs to be tied with a partition board, its accuracy cannot be guaranteed at all due to factors such as wind speed." Liu Lang explained.
In the future, although the heartless cannons are highly praised in various TV dramas, it clearly means that once the heartless cannons are released, all mountain artillery, howitzers, and cannons will have to kneel down. But as a third-generation military man and a first-year-old who was born in the compound,
As an elite special forces soldier who has been trained for more than ten years, Liu Lang actually knows very well that unscrupulous artillery cannot determine the victory of a battle at all. At best, it is the icing on the cake of victory.
The main reason is that the accuracy is appallingly poor. Why is it that even if those directors are all drama directors, Baozi Lei and One Gun can appear at 800 kilometers, but when the Heartless Cannon is fired, at least hundreds of them are fired in a row.
?That’s because heartless cannons have no accuracy at all. If you want to fire at a target, it’s very simple. If all the cannons are fired at the same time, one of them will be successful. This thing, let alone precision strikes, is a probability attack.
Can't even talk about it.
Secondly, the range is too short. With a range of 150 meters, for the defensive positions during World War II that were often hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters deep, is it just a fireworks display?
There is also a very fatal flaw. The Japanese army is equipped with a large number of grenade launchers, and the torpedo cannons are still preparing to fire a few hundred meters away. If a grenade hits and detonates the explosive package, it will be lively.
, creating a heartless cannon to dig a hole for yourself?
Since the beginning of the study of conscienceless artillery, the Red Army has not used conscienceless artillery as a decisive weapon. They are only used to remove obstacles. Before the charge, thousands of artillery fire were fired, blowing up the barbed wire fences, wooden fences, and landmines at the front of the position.
Damn, open up a charge path for the infantry.
Therefore, when Liu Lang established the Independent Regiment, even if he had no cannons, he never considered having no conscience cannons. Even at the Great Wall, he would not use them. Another reason at that time was that Liu Lang had no place to look for them.
Gasoline barrels, the Chinese army there doesn't even have cars, let alone oil and oil barrels.
Of course, Liu Lang was afraid that the little Japs would learn how to use unscrupulous cannons to attack his defensive positions?
As Liu Lang talked about the fatal shortcomings of the "heartless cannon", the future second-generation leader was a little disappointed, "It's really a bit useless when you say that, but why did you come up with this thing this time?"
"Haha, political commissar, you can't think as fast as Commander Liu. Maybe this heartless cannon is not very effective on the plains due to certain restrictions, but in this ambush battle, it is very effective.
It's no smaller than those mountain artillery and mortars! It's even stronger." The future military god smiled lightly and explained to his partner, who started out as a political worker.
Obviously, the future military god who was born as a warrior could figure out Liu Lang's purpose at a glance.
Looking back at the battlefield obscured by the mountains, Political Commissar Deng also understood what his partner meant. The width of the valley floor was only 300 meters. If you use this thing to smash the explosive packets down from the mountains, it will be within the range.
They are all Japanese troops, so what kind of precision is needed? Just bomb them.
Even if it doesn't kill you, it will shock you to death, and even if it doesn't blow you to death, it will scare you to death.
"How many explosive packs have you prepared?" Political Commissar Deng, who wanted to understand, was still a little curious after all.
If there are only a dozen or dozens of people in such a huge valley, it can only scare the Japanese.
"Ah! I really haven't counted." Liu Lang scratched his head, "Lao Wu, how many explosive packs were assigned to you before the battle?"
"Sir, 140." Wu Chenghu answered loudly with his chest raised.
The future military god and the second-generation leader collectively took a deep breath. Boom! This is more than a thousand kilograms of explosives.
"So few? Where are the unfinished ones left for you before the 771 group left?" Liu Lang frowned.
"420."
The two big men who had been through the storm collectively felt their legs weak. Good guy, one thousand kilograms has become four thousand. This little devil is going to be in bad luck!
There was still a need to hit here and there. After the explosive packs were blasted into the valley, the three infantry regiments only had to rush over and pick up the heads.
