Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 657

Chapter 657 Flying Thunder Cannon (Part 2)

Seeing Tong Yi's confused look.

Tang Dao smiled slightly. If you can see the principle by looking at a gasoline barrel, that army that has been either fighting or on the road of fighting since its birth will not use this kind of force similar to the British in World War I ten years later. Vince Li's projectile cannon is a "heartless cannon".

"Come on, Heavy Rain, come and show Chief Tong and the others how to fire the thunder cannon." Tang Dao rushed to the bald boy at the rear and ordered.

“Yes!” Xia Dayu was very excited and came out to accept the order with his head held high.

But Fatty Dahai turned pale in fright.

He is an old artilleryman, but his vision is different from that of a brigade commander like Tong Yi who is an infantryman.

He was shocked at first sight when he saw this "Flying Thunder Cannon" named by Battalion Commander Tang Da, but he soon recovered from the surprise. From a professional and technical perspective, this kind of artillery installation and mortar The principle is actually exactly the same, except that the barrel is not as strong as a mortar barrel made of gun steel.

Instinctively, he believed that this kind of cannon could be fired, not because he had any personal admiration for Commander Tang.

Although it is difficult for him to eliminate this factor, perhaps it is not just him, but many officers of the Independent Battalion are the same as him.

However, artillery cannot be used by everyone, especially this extremely simple "artillery", and coupled with the young man Xia Dayu, this thing is too unreliable!

Even soldiers like Pang Dahai, who had almost blind trust in Tang Dao, began to have a shaky trust in Tang Dao at this moment.

"Don't worry, Uncle Fatty. Under the guidance of the commander, I have fired six or seven shots, and they have basically been successful."

Xia Dayu had become acquainted with Pang Dahai during the Battle of Songjiang. Seeing that his face was pale, he hurriedly stepped forward and explained in a low voice. .

Hearing what Xia Dayu said, Pang Dahai finally came to his senses. Looking at Tang Dao's smiling face, he instantly understood what Tang Dao meant by asking Xia Dayu to fire.

Tang Dao means that this kind of gun is very simple to control and can be used by individuals with simple training.

“Okay, be careful in the heavy rain. Do you want Uncle Fat to help you?” Pang Dahai was overjoyed instantly and was looking forward to this amazingly simple big guy.

With such a large caliber and so easy to use, if it can really be used on the battlefield, how much help it can bring to the infantry brothers!

"Okay! Uncle Fatty, please help me with this." Xia Dayu was not humble at all. He imitated Tang Dao and commanded Fatty Dahai to help him.

Pang Dahai, an important general in the independent battalion, worked extremely hard under the command of a small signal corpsman.

This kind of operation fell in Tong Yi's eyes, but he was even more impressed by Tang Dao's ability to command troops.

This is not the integration of officers and soldiers often mentioned in military books!

But this thing sounds simple to say, but it is extremely difficult to operate in practice. The battalion and company commanders under his command never give up the attitude of being officers. No matter how difficult the military supplies are, officers still have more money than ordinary soldiers. A few more grains of rice.

He didn't know that the Tang Dao itself came from the army that was committed to annihilating all classes, and that mark had already been engraved in his bones. With his own practice, the habits of the old army in the independent camp had already changed a lot without even realizing it.

Xia Dayu and Pang Dahai are usually very familiar with each other as uncle and nephew, and Pang Dahai also wants to find out the secret of this so-called "flying thunder cannon", and of course he has no psychological burden about attacking a small soldier. .

Tang Dao and a few others were fifteen meters away, hiding behind a bunker and watching.

Although he personally took Xia Dayu and Erya through seven or eight times of practical training on thunder cannons, nothing is absolute. The "heartless cannon" born in that army has also been exploded in actual combat.

Tong Yi will not talk about the people here. They are people who will become lieutenant generals in the army in the future. He and Lei Xiong are the backbone of the independent battalion. If there is an explosion accident, all of them will be killed at once. Not to mention that it was impossible to kill the murderer of the Kunisaki Detachment. Two thousand people from the independent battalion died in this mountain due to the sudden change. That Tang Dao really wanted to wipe his neck and hang himself.

It's OK to show off, but you absolutely can't bring your core combat power with you to show off and fly together, otherwise you might fall to your death together.

Tang Dao has long passed the age of a passionate young man, especially after he became a commander in charge of thousands of people. . . . . . . . .

The flying thunder cannon seems to be very simple. There are only four key steps, namely 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 you are really stuck, just run away! Let's see who can run a distance of 50 meters in five seconds, and who can jam the explosive package of a gasoline barrel with a diameter of 800 mm, even if there is no 20 kilograms of explosives.

Twenty kilograms of explosives are enough to kill all living things within a radius of several hundred meters.

As a result, several Chinese soldiers who had been on the battlefield looked dumbfounded as they watched Xia Dayu, a young soldier, skillfully throw an explosive package covered with a thick wooden board into a gasoline barrel, and then ignited it and stretched it out from the small hole in the gasoline barrel. A fuse came out.

Oh my god, is it so simple and crude? Tong Yi and Zhuang Shisan fell down almost at the same time. Under the temper of the dangerous battlefield, Chief of Staff Zhuang's military skills have become countless times stronger than before, and he can compete with the veteran who has been fighting for more than ten years.

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.

With the naked eye, you can clearly see that the explosive package tied to a thick wooden board was rolling in the air but flying stubbornly into the sky, and then fell in a beautiful arc.

It landed in the open space at least 200 meters away in the valley.

Although it did not explode, the gasoline barrel actually dropped an explosive package 200 meters away.

"Sir Tong, this explosive package is not equipped with a delayed detonator. It will be installed during actual combat." Tang Dao explained to Tong Yi, who couldn't help but widen his eyes.

“Are you an explosive charge launcher?” Tong Yi muttered to himself, looking at the explosive charge still rolling on the ground in the light of the torch through the telescope hanging under his neck.

"No, I named it Heartless Cannon." Tang Dao shook his head and named it the name from the future.

"What a heartless cannon, very appropriate! Commander Tang, this invention of yours is amazing! From now on, even if we don't have cannons, we won't be afraid anymore. As long as there are enough explosives, the enemy will not be a concern." Tong Yi's face said The excitement is beyond words.

How could Tong Yi, who has been in the army for almost 20 years and has extremely rich combat experience, not know the usefulness of being able to drop explosive packets more than 200 meters away?

That is almost equivalent to a super-large-caliber mortar, which can throw a 10-kilogram explosive package at an enemy position 200 meters away. Whether it is a bunker or a fortification, even if it is not blown up under the attack of a 10-kilogram explosive package, It can also shock the lives of those in it to death.

"Chief Tong is too flattering. First of all, this is not the invention of our Tang Dao, but the British projectile cannon principle during World War I. Secondly, Chief Tong cannot have too much expectations for this. If we were not on the mountain, we were condescending. For delivery, the range of a 5-kilogram explosive package is only about 150 meters, and because it needs to be tied to a separation board, its accuracy cannot be guaranteed at all due to factors such as wind speed." Tang Dao explained.

In the future, although 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 an elite special forces soldier who has been trained for more than ten years, Tang Dao actually knows very well that heartless cannons cannot determine the victory of the battle at all. At best, they are the icing on the cake for the victory of the battle.

First of all, the accuracy is appallingly poor.

When the heartless cannons are fired, at least hundreds of them are fired in rows at the same time? 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, if one of them hits, it will be considered a success.

This thing, let alone a precise strike, can't even be called a probabilistic attack.

Secondly, the range is too short.

With a range of 150 meters, for a defensive position that is often hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters deep, is it just a firework?

The most terrible thing is that this thing has 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 someone hits a grenade, it will detonate the explosive. Bag.

Then, it's so exciting. Are you digging a hole for yourself by making unscrupulous cannons?

Therefore, even if the Tangdao Independent Battalion built no large-caliber artillery, it never considered using this thing to fight.

Moreover, the Japanese are not idiots. What if we use reverse reasoning to study the principles of heartless artillery and use it to attack Chinese army positions that have little defensive depth?
