He became angry and shouted: "Burn the weapon he raised for Liu Zhiwen and immediately burned the castle into a sea of ​​fire.

The history of flamethrowers was far earlier than muskets and artillery. As early as the seventh century AD, the Byzantines used a liquid burner called "Greek Fire" in a naval battle with the Arabs. This burner was usually enclosed in a wooden barrel and was sprayed from a throat through a throat with a hand-cranked pump. The liquid burner of "Greek Fire" was specially formulated and spontaneously ignited when exposed to air. The Arabs' wooden warship fleet suffered a devastating blow, and their plan to attack Constantinople also failed.

The inventor of the flamethrower in the modern sense is recognized as the German Richard Le. He built a flamethrower sample for German army evaluation in 191. Federer's device has basically all the characteristics of a modern flamethrower. The device is carried by manpower and is equipped with a circumference of 1. The lower half is a compressed air bottle and the upper half is a combustion agent bottle. When the shooter presses the throttle handle on the fuel barrel, the compressed air sprays the liquid combustion agent out of the steel launch tube through a rubber tube, and the launch tube has a

A simple ignition device, after the liquid combustion agent is ignited, a bunch of fireballs is formed to spray towards the target. The range of this equipment is eighteen meters and can be sprayed for two minutes, but the ignition signal tube is used once and must be replaced with a new one for each launch. Federer's device was not adopted by the German military until ten years later, 1901. The German army formed a special regiment with twelve companies and equipped it with the first flamethrower in modern history. However, four years later, the flamethrower showed its terrifying power on the battlefield.

In February 1905, the French were the first to taste the flames of the Germans in Verdun. Two months later, on July 30, 1905, the British also tasted the flaming smell of regional fire mixed with gasoline, rubber and sulfur in the Hogland trenches in the Flanders region. During the two days of battle, the British army lost thirty-one officers and 751 soldiers. After the Hog battle, the huge close lethality of the flamethrower was also written into the combat report for the first time.

The French, who suffered, also began to develop their own flamethrowers. The French were more realistic. Their designs were basically imitated by the Germans and put them into use between 1903 and 1904. The British were too whimsical. The flamethrowers they built were giants weighing two tons. In the Somme region, the British deployed four monsters, fixedly installed in fortifications fifty-five meters away from the front of the German army. In front of them was the unmanned area where the two sides confronted each other. These four large flamethrowers were specially used for the Somme Battle, with a range of 80 meters, and were used to clear the first line of defense of the German army before the infantry charge. On July 1, 1904, as soon as the Somme Battle started, the German counterattack artillery destroyed two of the four flamethrowers, and the other two lost their function after taking over the first line of defense of the German army.

After Hogg's success, the German army attached more importance to the function of flamethrowers. They organized the flamethrowers into a group of six. Each group of three flamethrowers were distributed throughout the frontier. The main task was to clear the frontline defense lines of the Allied forces when the German army launched an offensive. In 1907, the German army improved the equipped flamethrowers, reduced the weight and used a multiple-ignition signal tube, which greatly increased the maneuverability and firing frequency of the flamethrowers. Despite this, due to the French army

Already alert to the German flamethrower. When the German flamethrower was designed, the French army concentrated firepower to shoot at it. Once the German flamethrower was captured, they immediately shot and shot. In addition, this weapon could not provide continuous firepower at a long distance and wide front, and this excellent trench warfare weapon no longer played a decisive role as in the Battle of Hogg. During the entire World War, the German army carried out more than 650 flamethrower attacks, while the French army's similar offensive was almost zero.

Indeed, the casualties caused by the flamethrower to both sides in this war are far less than those of machine guns and heavy artillery, but in the almost hand-to-hand trench war, the German flamethrower undoubtedly brought great psychological shock to the soldiers of the Allied Powers trembling in the mud and water. This weapon is valued by Chinese weapons manufacturing. After 10 years of development, the latest 16 has reached a considerable level.

The nickname of "Fire Fist", the 16th type charge flamethrower is a very interesting design. It is designed for airborne troops and offensive troops and is used at one time. Its appearance is similar to a blasting cylinder, with a length of 500 mm, a diameter of 70 mm and a wall thickness of 1. The front part of the fuel tank

The millimeter-long nozzle is usually plugged with a rubber plug on the interface between the fuel agent tank. A spray chamber is ignited by a friction igniter. Press the breaking lever of the friction igniter. The spray chamber breaks, the fuel agent is sprayed out, and the igniter is ignited at the same time. The total weight is 3. kg, the range is 30 meters, and the injection time is 0.

As a melee weapon, the use of flamethrowers is not essentially different from World War I on the battlefield of World War II. It is mainly used to attack buildings, bunkers and fortifications and clear away the remaining enemies. The only difference is that during World War II, infantry flamethrowers were often used as close-range anti-armor weapons. The flames ejected by flamethrowers cannot burn through the armor of most tanks, especially later Soviet tanks. However, the flowing flame jets emitted by flamethrowers can flow from some openings on the surface of armored targets, such as the top cover of the tank engine compartment, into the interior of the vehicle body, igniting its fuel or ammunition, thereby disable or completely destroying the armored target. The combat report of the troops shows that flamethrowers have obvious destruction effects on vehicles using gasoline engines and US military 4 tanks, but have limited destruction effects on Soviet tanks using diesel engines.

Liu Zhiwen will never forget the following scene: there was a scream of despair in the sea of ​​fire, and Indian soldiers rushed out of the castle one by one, with smoke and fire on their bodies, howling, and while firing, they rushed towards Liu Zhiwen and others desperately. The castle was very big for a long time, with hundreds of Indian troops hidden inside. Liu Zhiwen picked up the gun and kept pulling the trigger, and hundreds of hands behind him were also constantly pulling the trigger. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, all the Indian soldiers were knocked to the ground.

Afterwards, I found that people were in the war, and I was afraid they had no time to think about anything, they had no time to think about right or wrong, they had no time to sympathize with each other, and even they had no time to be afraid. There was only hatred in my mind, and hatred was concentrated on the gun...

Early in the morning of the fourth day, before dawn, Liu Zhiwen crossed a mountain and finally saw the *** as he climbed at the foot of the mountain. Along the way, except for the castle, he did not encounter the Indian army again, which shows that the Indian side did not pay attention to this path. At this moment, the vanguard reported: The guide was gone.

The Menba people were most likely frightened when they saw the scene of the castle. They didn’t know what the scene would be after arriving at Panden, so they didn’t want money. The terrain was familiar, so they ran away, not to mention finding a fork in the road, they just hid in the valleys, caves or even bushes. Where did Liu Zhiwen and others go to find it?

After leaving the guide, Liu Zhiwen and others found that the trail could not be found. There were cliffs everywhere at their feet, and the troops could not go down.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, the guns and cannons were heard in the direction of Panden. It was obvious that the frontal troops launched the general attack on time. But Liu Zhiwen and his troops were still circling on the mountainside. At this time, someone remembered the nylon ropes he had received from the Independent Brigade, so he quickly ordered the soldiers to hand them over, gathered together, ignited the fire, and connected them. Several thin ropes were tied into thick ropes, and found a lower slope to the cliff, and hung one by one, and the soldiers grabbed the rope and slid down. About 8 types, Liu Zhiwen and his troops finally started behind Panden.

To be honest, Liu Zhiwen did not see how intense the Battle of Panden was. He could only hear the dense gunshots like raindrops and the earth-shaking gunshots halfway up the mountain, and saw the mortar shells of Liu Zhiwen and others flying into the city with smoke. When Liu Zhiwen and others slid down the hillside and as the troops entered the city, the gunshots had stopped and the gunshots became scattered. Obviously, the battle had ended and the Indian army was quickly defeated.

Liu Zhiwen was a translator and participated in the interrogation of prisoners. Only then did he know that the Indian army had studied the tactical and combat examples of Liu Zhiwen's army and knew that before a large-scale attack, Liu Zhiwen usually sent small troops to penetrate and infiltrate and launch a "surprise attack on the White Tiger Regiment", so he made preparations in advance. Unfortunately, they were too superstitious about the natural dangers of the Himalayas in the Himalayas. They imagined that Liu Zhiwen's army might send small troops to infiltrate and lurk in advance. The number of people could not be too large, and it was even more impossible to carry heavy weapons, so only one battalion was left on standby at any time. As soon as Liu Zhiwen's troops started from behind, the battalion rushed over. They never expected that the whole division of 20,000 people was surrounded from behind.
