Chapter 35 Flamethrower
While Vincent casually raised the helmet in his hand to attract fire, he observed the movements of "Little Apple" and Mai Xi. He saw that the little "Little Apple" was like a mole, rising from the east, shooting a shot, and shooting a shot. Some people thought that the enemy in the bunker wanted to shoot "Little Apple", and the bullets they shot were always one step slower than the "Little Apple".
Vincent and "Little Apple" cooperated with each other and played around with the enemies in the bunker, which angered the people in the bunker. They quickly mobilized all three nearby machine guns to attack them. The "Puchi...Puchi" bullets poured over the edge of the crater where they were hiding like a storm. The German steel helmets in Vincent's hand had long been covered with holes.
Now Mai Xi's chance came, and quickly jumped out of the crater, then ran a few meters quickly. When jumping into the next crater, Mai Xi only needed to jump to 50 meters to reach the range of the flamethrower. As a veteran of the National Defense Forces, this obstacle was not a difficult subject at all. In just ten seconds, Mai Xi jumped to more than 40 meters away from the bunker. When the enemy in the bunker was competing with Vincent for the "Little Apple", Mai Xi took advantage of this rare opportunity to successfully reach the attack position.
Mai Xi quickly put the flamethrower on the edge of the crater, aimed a little, and pulled the trigger, "Puff...Puff..." A hot flame ejected out. The temperature of the flame was extremely high, and even steel could melt. Special fuel was injected around the perforation hole of the bunker. The hot flames rushed into the perforation hole of the bunker. In an instant, a shrill scream came from the perforation hole of the bunker.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
After the flames shot into the enemy fort, it caused objects in the fort to burn, ammunition explode, and people to suffocate and die. The fortress maintained high temperatures. Even if the enemies in the fort installed steel plates in front of the machine gun, it would have no effect on the flamethrower, and the steel plates could not protect them.
Mai Xi did not stop and continued to spray violently at the perforation hole of the bunker. Most of the bunker was sputtered to the special fuel sprayed by the flamethrower, and then it burned violently. Thick smoke came out of the bunker inside. Several enemies were wearing fire and opened the door of the bunker and escaped. They let out a tragic scream. But who could help them? No one, soon the blazing flames wrapped them. They screamed and rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.
But they had no effect, but instead ignited the places they passed by. Soon the enemies turned into piles of burning bonfires. The ammunition inside the bunker also exploded quickly, and the "boom" explosions continued. Even if the ammunition of the bunker exploded, the bunker built by the enemy was not blown up. It can be seen how solid the enemy bunker was built. If Li Mo and the others did not have flamethrowers, it would be extremely difficult to blow up such a solid bunker.
Flamethrowers have a strong psychological deterrence to the enemy, and their lethality is also quite tragic. Those who are hit are often burned alive. Therefore, some people have called for the ban on the use of such weapons. Flamethrowers are mainly used to deal with various reinforcement fortifications such as bunkers and bunkers. Since flamethrowers actually emit burning liquids that can flow everywhere, they can effectively hit various shooting dead spots. In the movie, the effective range of flamethrowers is extremely limited, but this is actually because the producers use civilian injectors filled with propane in order to protect the personal safety of the actors. In fact, modern flamethrowers can burn targets to ashes at a distance of 50 to 80 meters. In addition, there is also the practice of spraying flammable liquids at the target and ignite them afterwards (or being ignited by the target's lights, etc.).
For operators, flamethrowers are very dangerous. First, flamethrowers are very heavy, limiting the movement ability of the carriers. On the battlefield, flamethrowers are very prominent, so operators often become living targets for enemy snipers. Historically, flamethrowers rarely became prisoners of war. In revenge, captured flamethrowers are usually shot in the spot. Finally, compared with other weapons of the same level, the effective range of flamethrowers is indeed relatively close, which forces operators to fully approach the enemy. Vehicle-based flamethrow systems also have this problem. Their range is significantly higher than handheld flamethrowers, but they are still not as good as infantry firepower.
The danger of the flamethrower being hit and causing a big explosion is exaggerated by Hollywood movies. It should be noted that the scene of the big explosion caused by a little spark or bullet shooting is unusual as depicted in the movie. The gas tank is loaded with inert high-pressure gas, and if it is penetrated, the operator will at most be knocked down to the ground. The fuel loaded in the oil tank cannot be easily ignited unless the other party uses ammunition of **.
Li Mo has been observing the situation on the battlefield with a telescope. The success of Vincent and Mai Xi made Li Mo feel relieved. As long as he conquered one of the bunkers, he could attack the enemy in the other bunker through the perforation of the other bunker. Although the two bunkers of the government army were built very strongly, the distance between the two bunkers was more than 30 meters.
Vincent's row finally took the bunker to the left of the government army after suffering heavy casualties. Seeing that the situation was not good, the government troops in the remaining bunker immediately fled back to Santander along the trenches. Li Mo did not order the pursuit, but took the lead in occupying the two bunkers and repairing them appropriately to serve as the base of the entire company.
The soldiers injured and killed in the offensives of Vincent were also transported. The German army was very mechanized, and the ammunition supply and delivery were extremely convenient. When Vincent was about to be sent away, Li Mo went to visit Vincent alone:
"Vincent, you made your first contribution this time and will definitely receive a beautiful first-class Iron Cross. In the future, you will have more capital to brag about picking up girls!"
Vincent lay on a stretcher and joked with company commander Li Mo:
"Company Commander, picking up girls is the favorite of our Italian men, but I like war more. I like this stimulating feeling. It is also a very lucky thing to be a soldier under your command."
Vincent's meaning is very clear. Commanders like Li Mo are trusted by soldiers. During training, Li Mo can share the joys and sorrows with soldiers, and charge with soldiers during wartime. The most important thing is that Li Mo can fully trust his subordinates and allow them to freely exert their tactical abilities. Li Mo himself also cherishes the lives of soldiers and will not command blindly. This is a place where commanders convince soldiers.
