Chapter 0266: The Great Conscience Cannon (Part 1)
Fight the cannon tower!
When Li Yunlong saw that this thing could deliver a round package similar to an explosive bag to more than 100 meters away, he instantly understood the purpose of this secret weapon.
The most difficult part of shooting a gun tower is the more than 100 meters approaching the gun tower. At this distance, the Japanese's hit rate is astonishingly high. Just over 100 meters is equivalent to paving the way with their lives, and this is also the most helpless thing for the Eighth Route Army.
For the Eighth Route Army, which lacks heavy artillery, the artillery tower that fights the Japanese is to take his own life in addition to taking a stalwart. Two months ago, the 2nd Company still suffered more than 50 casualties while strengthening its firepower. Although it was related to the rapid decisive battle between the 2nd Company, it is undeniable that the Eighth Route Army, which lacks heavy artillery, is indeed at a disadvantage in attacking.
"With this thing, we don't have to take our lives to open the road!" Li Yunlong walked excitedly to the gasoline barrel buried in the ground, and looked at it and said, "Who thought of this? He's so talented!"
He seemed to have seen the wonderful scene of dozens of gasoline barrels ejecting giant explosive packs:
The Japanese's strong artillery tower was razed to the ground in the explosion of a large number of explosive packs. The Japanese's rear opened their arms to the Eighth Route Army, and countless Japanese trembled in the spitting of gasoline barrels...
But Zheng Yingqi broke Li Yunlong's wonderful fantasy. He said: "Captain, this thing is not as lingering as you imagined. This thing is modified from a gasoline barrel. Our launching medicine is made of local, and the explosive pack is also made by hand. There is no standard specification. So even if the gunner has rich experience, the error can easily exceed the expectations."
"Secondly, it can only be buried underground to launch, otherwise the recoil will seriously affect the range and accuracy, which makes its launch time very long. You have also seen that it will be completed in a full six minutes. If it is on the battlefield, the time may be longer, which is destined to be used only in attacking."
"Its safety performance is not good. Not only does it require a dedicated person to operate it, but it also does not rule out the possibility of accidents every time it launches."
Zheng Yingqi was also very frustrated. The legendary conscience-free cannon was developed by himself and Geng Pai and after experiments, he found that it was far less lingering than he had imagined.
"That's all!" Li Yunlong interrupted Zheng Yingqi's words: "Do you think I don't know that the best way to deal with the artillery tower is to deal with heavy artillery? But our independent group has a small family and a small business, so there is no such thing!"
Who doesn’t know that the best way to hit a tank is to tanks? Again, anti-tank guns, but, is there?
Who doesn’t know that the best way to deal with a gun tower is to bomb heavy artillery? But, is there?
It is precisely because there is no such thing that I can only fill it with my life!
"Geng Ersha, did you think of this thing? What's the name?"
"Report to the commander of the group, this is what Platoon Commander Zheng thought of," Geng Erniu said with a smile: "Platform Commander Zheng is worthy of growing up by drinking foreign ink, so there are many ways."
"What's the name?"
"Flying Thunder Cannon." Zheng Yingqi replied: "It can also be called the Big Conscience Cannon!"
"Great Conscience Cannon?" Li Yunlong thought, "This cannon is really conscientious to the Japanese. This name is OK. When will you go to the Japanese to try the power of this great conscience cannon?"
"About one month," Zheng Yingqi calculated silently for a while before saying: "I need to be familiar with it for a while."
"You guys are calm, okay, I'll give you a month. In a month, let's go to pull out the Japanese artillery tower and try the power of our great conscience cannon!"
Li Yunlong was very much looking forward to the effect of the "Great Conscience Cannon" on artillery towers. Since the Japanese army began to implement the policy of cages with highways as chains and bunkers as locks, the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla warfare has been extremely difficult. The artillery towers and bunkers have seriously limited the scope of activities of the Eighth Route Army.
Take the Independent Regiment and the adjacent New Orlean Regiment as an example. The artillery tower group with Baishui stronghold as the core can separate the two regiments, which cannot echo each other, but whether it is the New Orlean Regiment or the Independent Regiment, they are helpless against many artillery towers. Although they were easy to fight against the Laoyang Village stronghold and the Oda Squadron last time, they could not pull out the rest of the artillery towers. A small victory did not have a qualitative change to the entire battlefield!
But if you want to remove all the artillery towers of the entire Baishui artillery group, you will be able to remove them one by one without considering the Japanese reinforcements. The independent regiment cannot withstand the losses. This is the disadvantage of not having heavy weapons.
But if the "Great Conscience Cannon" really plays a role in the attack, even if it can reduce half of the losses when removing the artillery tower, it will be a deal that is not a loss for the independent group!
...
2 company units.
Zhao Dazhi personally poured tea for Zheng Yingqi, put the tea jar in front of Zheng Yingqi and said, "This is the good tea that is rewarded to me in the official position. I have never been willing to drink it. When you come, I even took out the treasure!"
Zheng Yingqi smiled bitterly, the company commander thought he was here to ask for a fight...
"Wait," Zhao Dazhi felt something was wrong when he saw Zheng Yingqi's wry smile. He actually reached out and held down the teapot that Zheng Yingqi was about to hold over, stared at Zheng Yingqi and asked, "Didn't you come here to ask for a fight?"
Zheng Yingqi never took the initiative to run to the company. This was the first time he came here. Zhao Dazhi thought Zheng Yingqi was here to ask for a fight, and he was still happy. He could finally wait for the fourth row to show his excitement for him.
"No." Zheng Yingqi answered honestly.
"No..." Zhao Dazhi was disappointed, and pulled the tea jar to his side, muttering, "I'm just thirsty, well, tell me what's wrong with you."
Zheng Yingqi felt the feeling of falling out of favor for the first time...
"Company Commander, don't you bring this reality?"
"Haha," Zhao Dazhi sneered, "I, the company commander, are now despised and want to be autistic. What's wrong with giving you some color? You can really calm down!"
"My company commander," Zheng Yingqi said with a giggle and laughter: "It's not that I'm so calm, but that I'm waiting for a secret weapon. Are you interested in seeing it? That's a good thing to shoot a cannon tower!"
"Really?" Zhao Dazhi looked at Zheng Yingqi suspiciously. Zheng Yingqi said, "When did I tell lies?"
Zhao Dazhi thought that Zheng Yingqi was quite honest about this, so he laughed and pushed the teapot in front of Zheng Yingqi: "I'll just make a joke, Xiao Zheng, drink tea, tell me what your secret weapon is!"
After all, Zheng Yingqi was not drunk, and only sucked in two or three sips, the anxious Zhao Dazhi dragged over to see the secret weapon.
The "Great Conscience Cannon" really did not disappoint Zhao Dazhi. After seeing his throwing ability, Zhao Dazhi couldn't wait to ask Zheng Yingqi to carry out relevant training in the four-row line to strive to make himself proud as soon as possible.
But Zheng Yingqi said: "Company Commander, four rows are not suitable."
"What's the meaning?"
"The four-row platoon is suitable for special operations, and I think this 'big conscience cannon' is better for you to command,"
"Hey, this is the first time I have seen someone who doesn't like the killer move," Zhao Dazhi looked at Zheng Yingqi strangely: "Can you have no confidence in the 'big conscience cannon't'?"
Zheng Yingqi shook his head and said, "Company Commander, do you remember the elite Japanese army that attacked our regiment last year?"
When Zhao Dazhi mentioned this, his expression became cold. He was the garrison headquarters of the 2nd Battalion, and the 1st Battalion did not fight with the Japanese, but this shame was shared by the whole regiment - until now, this shame has not been washed away!
Zhao Dazhi gritted his teeth and said, "I remember!"
"This kind of elite troops has just emerged abroad. If I guess correctly, the Japanese should be under the Brandenburg troops of the German army. They are good at breaking, beheading, raiding and infiltration. The combat method is to fight and retreat quickly, and never get entangled. Our regiment commander suspected that the target of this Japanese was not our independent regiment, but our headquarters!" Zheng Yingqi talked about the Yamamoto Special Attack Team. When he first came, he told Li Yunlong this guess.
"You mean, the fourth row is a unit of the same nature as that elite Japanese?"
"It's almost the same, but we only started practicing in the fourth platoon. Compared with that Japanese, there should be a big gap. But please don't worry, company commander. At most, I will be confident that I will bring out an excellent special forces that are no less than the Japanese elite!" Zheng Yingqi said confidently.
In terms of equipment or individual soldiers, Yamamoto's special attack team must be better than the current four-row ranks, but Zheng Yingqi believes that if he gives him a year, the four-row ranks will definitely be no less than Yamamoto's special attack team - after all, he is standing on the shoulders of the giants.
"One year? Do you have to do this for a year?" The second company commander was anxious. The fourth row was a big bullet occupant. In less than two months, he almost got criticized for being autistic. If this lasted for another year, he could think of what the regiment commander would say.
Zheng Yingqi smiled awkwardly and said, "Company Commander, don't worry, we will be self-sufficient soon."
"This is almost the same," Zhao Dazhi breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Don't expose our 'big conscience cannon't be exposed first. After we set off a few cannon towers, let them come and ask us, so that they can know the price of who is behind the scenes!"
Zheng Yingqi nodded in understanding. It seemed that his company commander had been ridiculed for being autistic during this period.
...
In the next period of time, the 2nd Company entered a strange training state, which caused other company commanders to come and observe.
"Old Wu, what plane is this fool Zhao doing? It's like practicing attacking the artillery tower, but what tactics are like? Shooting against the Japanese in the artillery tower across more than 100 meters? Isn't the fool Zhao really called him a fool by us, right?"
"I think it's true. Look, a squad of the engineer platoon is still in the second company. Damn, this big fool is not thinking about blatantly digging the ground for the Japanese to ride a dirt plane, right? I think my mind is getting into the water!"
On the training ground, the soldiers of the 2nd Company formed a cover firepower around the engineer squad, and lit various smoke, creating thick smoke to cover the engineer squad. What puzzled the company commanders most was that the training of the 2nd Company was actually carried out around the engineer squad. It felt like the protagonist was the engineer squad, and their 2nd Company was just like a soy sauce.
"Zhao Da Siss must have a conspiracy. Who can let us find out the bottom line?"
"I'll go. Last time I replaced the old with the new, the nine soldiers in our company were taken away by a big fool. I don't believe this guy won't give me such face!"
The 3rd Company Commander volunteered to inquire about the situation, but no matter what he said, the 2nd Company Commander Zhao Dazhi either didn't say it or just kept running the train, for example:
"Hey, 2nd company is incompetent, 2nd company is ashamed, we are just having fun!"
Or it's just: "No tricks are there? I've been different from what you said in the second company. Now I've given up on myself and I'm just having fun with the engineers."
After the investigation failed, the 3rd company commander said angrily: "Zhao Da Si, please don't beg me if you 2nd company in the future!"
"Ha, maybe who would ask for whom." The company commander 2 didn't care. When I knocked down the artillery tower and when my "big conscience cannon" got angry, you have to beg me to be a teacher!
Please?
If I don’t say I’m happy at that time, I won’t teach you!
Zheng Yingqi, who was standing beside him, was speechless to his company commander. He said, "I'm too petty, right?" He will revenge his grudges!"
This personality...I like it!
After a month of inexplicable practice, the 2nd Company finally asked the regiment commander to fight that day. Li Yunlong made the decision to ask for the 2nd Company without saying a word, and formed an observation group with several company commanders to act with the 2nd Company.
Before leaving, Li Yunlong reminded the company commanders in the observation group: "All pay attention. This time we are testing our new equipment! Don't keep talking nonsense behind when the 2nd Company is shooting the artillery tower, learn more!"
Chapter completed!
