Chapter 679 Hellfire!
Yes, in addition to the big killer weapon of the "heartless cannon", Tang Dao also specially prepared secret weapons for the infantry.
Incendiary bombs!
Of course, this kind of work, which has little technical content and is mainly made of a mixture of gasoline, rubber and white phosphorus, and was completed in a hurry, is more like a Molotov cocktail than an incendiary bomb.
This kind of Molotov cocktail was originally used in Songjiang street fighting, but Tang Dao took the risk and brought it to the field battlefield. This was mainly because of its geographical advantage.
When Tang Dao checked the terrain around the river valley, he had already concluded that because of their large number of troops, the Japanese army would never walk into the river valley like herding sheep. There must be Japanese troops outside the river valley.
The river valley is too wide, and the incendiary bottle ignited by a fire twister is not suitable. It may also cause deflagration due to the counterattack of Japanese artillery or grenade, which will in turn trap itself.
So the troops on the edge of the river valley are not equipped with this thing. Only Zhao Daqiang's fourth company is equipped with it because of the terrain of their battlefield. On average, each soldier carries one.
This thing is very simple to use. Just use a match to light the cotton twist hanging from the mouth of the bottle, and then throw it out with all your strength.
The distribution area of the gasoline particles splashed after being smashed determines the killing radius of the incendiary bottle.
Tang Dao specially conducted experiments in the valley with company, platoon, and squad leaders for this purpose. When a Molotov cocktail was thrown, the maximum killing radius could reach 3 meters, and the smallest was 1 meter.
The killing radius is not small, and the power is even more amazing.
A big tree as thick as an adult's waist was hit by the Molotov cocktails thrown by two sergeants one after another. The entire tree was engulfed in raging fire and was eventually burned to death. And a large bare stone three to four meters high was connected to several Molotov cocktails. The flames continued for nearly 10 minutes. The stone that existed tens of millions of years ago was burned to a large hole by these terrible flames. .
So, when I saw the Japanese army attacking so vigorously, regardless of their own safety.
“Burn them back for me!” Zhao Daqiang was filled with anger and fear.
Since you are not afraid of bullets or grenades, let's see if you are afraid of fire!
Ozawa Riyo, then captain of the 3rd Squadron of the 4th Battalion, witnessed such a tragedy with his own eyes.
Second Lieutenant Sozorai of the 1st Team, the most courageous under his command, was a well-known karate master in Japan. He once killed two Chinese with his bare hands without using a rifle on the battlefield.
Ozawa Rio still remembers the incredible look on the face of the 1.8-meter-tall strong man in the famous Chinese broadsword army he met in northern China. His sword was swung with great force, but he was beaten by Second Lieutenant Aoi and his flexible pace. Move out of the way, wait for an opportunity to find his flaw, sneak in, and smash his Adam's apple with a knife.
The brawny Chinese man holding a big sword had an army lieutenant on his collar, and should be a company commander. After being killed by Second Lieutenant Aang Kongjing, the morale of the Chinese soldiers who were fighting hand-to-hand with them dropped sharply. In the end, more than a hundred people died in the battle, and only A dozen people were able to escape.
But such a master was killed by a simple smoking glass bottle thrown from the mountain.
Ozawa saw Second Lieutenant Kurakorai trying his best to hide on the hillside. His thick legs provided him with unimaginable flexibility. Looking at the entire infantry brigade, the Japanese Army Captain was sure that no one could do a better job than him. The tactics were avoided.
But he was still dead.
Be burned alive!
The density of Chinese incendiary bombs is not high, with one being only about seven or eight meters away, but their power is terrifying.
Poor Second Lieutenant Aang Kongjing had already jumped five or six meters away. The two-meter-wide fireball that exploded from the Molotov cocktail that was only one meter away from him did not hurt him at all.
But perhaps because he ran away too fast, he unfortunately escaped into another incendiary bottle killing zone.
The Molotov cocktail hit a big rock, and the orange-red flames directly enveloped an area with a radius of three meters.
The Japanese infantrymen in the area howled miserably, even more pitifully than the pigs in the slaughterhouse, including Second Lieutenant Cang Kongjing who happened to jump into it.
From Ozawa Risheng's point of view, Second Lieutenant Aoi is like a moth rushing to a flame. He clearly saw the flame blooming, but he still ignored it and ran into it. It seemed that it was too cold this winter and he was in urgent need of a fire.
But Ozawa Risheng knew that he was not. It was just that the time difference between the two Molotov cocktails was just right so that Second Lieutenant Sozorai could not change the tactical evasive action he had already made with all his strength.
If you are only touched by the flames, you will be burned to pieces at most. As long as you roll on the ground desperately and use crushing, you may be able to extinguish the flames and escape.
But the demonic weapons made by the Chinese were so sinister that it was beyond his imagination. Those flames were like tarsal maggots. No matter how you rolled on the ground, they burned stubbornly and tenaciously, and even burned more and more fiercely.
Poor Second Lieutenant Aang Kongjing was rolling and howling under the horrified gaze of his senior lieutenant, while the flames and black smoke on his body were getting thicker and thicker.
His strong body made him far more tenacious than ordinary Japanese infantry, but obviously, he suffered greater pain, so much so that he even cried and begged his companions to give him a shot.
But among his subordinates, no one dared to do this due to his usual strength.
The final outcome is to be burned alive.
Even if he dies, the fire will not go out.
Even the hillside he rolled over was still burning with flames, making a sizzling sound, leaving patches of charred black on the land. That was his flesh and skin that had been burned alive.
There was even a strange smell wafting in the air, which was far more frightening than the acrid gun smoke.
It was a terrifying weapon from **** developed by the Chinese. Ozawa, who was covered in ice, roared and issued a military order for the entire army to attack the mountain at all costs.
He didn't want to die, he didn't want to be forced to jump into a deep ditch and become a puddle of flesh, he didn't want to wait on the mountain road to be blown to pieces by Chinese grenades, and he didn't want to be lit into a human-shaped candle by that terrible Molotov cocktail.
Who said there is no temperature on the battlefield?
At least, the battlefield of the Fourth Company was in full swing.
Hundreds of Molotov cocktails were thrown down the hillside. Although only twenty or thirty Japanese soldiers became the fuel to "help the evildoer", a lot of vegetation was ignited.
There is already a lot of dead grass in winter, so it was a big deal to be ignited by hundreds of large fire starters. Not to mention the Japanese infantrymen among them, even the Chinese soldiers on the mountain ridge more than 30 meters away felt the heat wave.
Not only was the helmet hot, but even the hair and eyebrows were curved.
It is said that after the war, the beards of the officers and soldiers of the 4th Company, which had not been hung for a long time, were burnt away, and there were not many eyebrows left, so that the 4th Company was nicknamed the "Browless Company".
Zhao Daqiang is very happy with this title. Does this mean that he will no longer be so unlucky in the future? Although it was not fatal, a piece of flesh was shaved off by the cannonball on his back buttocks, but he had not sat down for more than half a month. He even slept on his stomach, but he was often teased by that veteran Li Jijin. , saying that he dreams about a wife.
The officers and soldiers of the 4th company on the mountain were almost bald from the scorching heat wave, not to mention the Japanese soldiers on the hillside and on the mountain road who were still trying hard to survive.
Ozawa Risheng's little mind was spinning as fast as his captain. Although the former army hundreds of meters away could not know the situation due to the mountain obstruction, judging from the loud noise coming from there, They must have also suffered terrible attacks. I guess I can't count on it.
The only one who can save yourself now is yourself.
Charge is really unrealistic.
Although the Chinese seem to have a very open battle line, there is a submachine gun paired with two shell guns every few dozen meters, plus a light machine gun. The raindrops of bullets will not be burned on the hillside at all. The remaining Japanese infantrymen had little chance.
Ozawa Risheng's head turned faster, the more he wanted to cry.
He had an infantry squadron and a baggage team of nearly 300 people. As a result, the firepower was not as fierce as the Chinese.
The Type 38 rifles that used to look so powerful in their hands were equipped with bayonets up to 1.7 meters long. They were as ridiculous as burning fire sticks in front of the large number of submachine guns equipped by the Chinese.
Actually, it's better to burn a fire stick.
At least, burning fire sticks will not hinder their running.
When the two armies were fighting hand-to-hand, a Type 38 rifle exceeding 1.7 meters was as powerful as a spear, but in this mountain forest, it really affected the operation too much.
I just wanted to jump behind a tree to avoid the Chinese bullets, but the gun was too long and got caught on the branches.
On the battlefield, life or death can be decided in a split second.
The Japanese infantryman who had a good life as a child would never abandon his weapon easily. The two seconds of holding on for dear life were enough for him to be hit by various bullets swept over him.
But it has to be said that the Japanese army is really an opponent that cannot be ignored.
There were flying bullets, grenades falling from time to time, and vegetation ignited by Molotov cocktails. Under such harsh conditions, the Japanese army did not collapse.
They are still fighting.
Even many officers and soldiers of the 4th Company who had had many encounters with the Japanese army looked shocked. If they were allowed to fight on an equal footing, they would most likely be defeated!
These Japanese troops were much more difficult to deal with than the Sixth Division or the 18th Division they faced.
The 5th Division from North China almost represents the top combat power of the Japanese army.
Tang Dao and the Independent Battalion are chewing on such a hard nut.
