Chapter 657 Flying Thunder Cannon
Seeing Tong Yi's bewildered expression.

Tang Dao smiled slightly. If you can see the principle by looking at the gasoline barrel, the army that was either fighting or on the way from the beginning of its birth will not use this kind of army similar to World War I until ten years later. The "unconscionable cannon" that Levins threw cannons.

"Come on, heavy rain, come and show Tong Zhang they how to shoot the Feilei Cannon." Tang Dao rushed to the bald boy at the rear and ordered.

"Yes!" Xia Dayu was very excited, and stood up to accept the order with his head held high.

But Pang Dahai's face turned pale with fright.

He is an old artillery soldier, but his vision is different from that of a brigade commander like Tong Yi who was born as an infantryman.

Seeing this "Flying Thunder Cannon" named by Commander Tang Dayi at first glance, he was taken aback, but soon he recovered from his surprise. Analyzing from a professional technical point of view, the installation of this artillery is similar to that of a mortar. The principle is exactly the same, except that the bore is not as strong as a mortar barrel made of gun steel.

Instinctively, he thought that this kind of artillery could be fired, not because he had a personal adoration for Commander Tang Day.

Although it is difficult for him to get rid of this factor, perhaps not only him, but many officers in the independent battalion are the same as him.

However, artillery can never be used by anyone, especially this kind of extremely crude 'artillery', and adding a young man like Xia Dayu, this thing is too unreliable!

Even Pang Dahai, a soldier who had almost blindly trusted Tang Dao, began to crumble at this moment.

"Don't worry, fat uncle, under the guidance of the chief, I have already fired six or seven shots, and they have basically succeeded."

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

Hearing Xia Dayu's words, Pang Haihai finally recovered. Looking at Tang Dao's smiling face, he instantly understood the meaning of Tang Dao's ordering Xia Dayu to fire.

What Tang Dao means is that the control of this gun is very simple, and it can be used by individuals with simple training.

"Okay, heavy rain, be careful, do you want Uncle Fatty to help you?" Pang Dahai was instantly overjoyed, and was full of anticipation for this shockingly simple big guy.

Such a large caliber and so easy to use, if it can be used on the battlefield, it will be of great help to the infantry brothers!

"Okay! Fat Uncle, help me with this." Xia Dayu was not modest, and imitated Tang Dao's appearance and directed Pang Dahai to help him.

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

This kind of operation fell into Tong Yi's eyes, but he was even more impressed by Tang Dao's technique of commanding troops.

Isn't this the unity of officers and soldiers that is often said in military books!

But this thing is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to operate in practice. The battalion and company commanders under him can't let go of the posture of being an officer. No matter how difficult the military supplies are, the officers are more expensive than ordinary soldiers A few extra grains of rice.

He didn't know that Tang Dao itself came from the army that was dedicated to eradicating all classes, and that brand had already been engraved in his bones. With his own actions, the habits of the old army in the independent battalion had already changed a lot unconsciously.

And Xia Dayu and Pang Dahai are usually very acquainted with each other as uncles and nephews, and Pang Dahai also wants to find out the secret of this so-called 'Flying Thunder Cannon', so of course he has no psychological burden for a small soldier. .

Tang Dao and several people left 15 meters away, hiding behind a bunker and watching.

Although he personally took Xia Dayu and Erya to practice flying thunder cannon seven or eight times, but there is no absolute in everything, the "heartless cannon" born in that army has also exploded in actual combat.

Tong Yi will not talk about the few people here, they will become lieutenant generals in the future, and he and Lei Xiong are the backbone of the independent battalion. Not to mention the impossibility of killing the massacre of the Kunisaki Detachment, 2000 people from the Independence Battalion died in this mountain due to sudden changes.

It's okay to pretend to be aggressive, but you must not bring your core combat power to pretend to be aggressive and fly together, or you might fall to your death together.

Tang Dao has already passed the era of a hot-blooded young man, especially after he became an officer commanding thousands of people.

. . . . . . . .

The fly thunder cannon seems very simple, there are four key steps in total, the launch tube, the propellant, the isolation plate, and the explosive package.

The launch tube is the gasoline barrel, the propellant is the gunpowder that is fired from the explosive bag, and the isolation board is a thick wooden board. The size of the explosive bag is whatever you want, as long as it is not stuck in the gasoline barrel.

If you're really stuck, run away, guys!Let's see who can run a distance of 50 meters in five seconds, and can hold a dynamite bag with a diameter of 800mm gasoline drum. There is no [-]kg dynamite that can't do it.

And [-] kilograms of explosives are enough to shock and kill all creatures within a radius of hundreds of meters.

So, a few Chinese soldiers who had experienced many battles just watched dumbfoundedly as Xia Dayu, a young soldier, skillfully threw a pack of explosives covered with a thick wooden plank into the gasoline drum, and then ignited the gunpowder extending from the small hole of the gasoline drum. A fuse came out.

Damn, is it so simple and rude?Tong Yi and Zhuang Shisan fell down almost at the same time.Under the tempering of the dangerous battlefield, Chief of Staff Zhuang's military skills are many times stronger than before, and he can compete with that old soldier who has fought for more than ten years.

A few seconds later, there was only a loud "boom", and a burst of fire and gunpowder sprayed out from the mouth of the gasoline barrel.

The naked eye can clearly see that the explosive bag tied with a plank rolled in the air but stubbornly flew into the sky, and then fell in a beautiful arc.

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

Although it didn't explode, the gasoline barrel actually dropped an explosive package 200 meters away.

"Officer Tong, this explosive bag is not equipped with a delay detonator. It will only be installed during the actual battle." Tang Dao explained to Tong Yi, whose eyes widened involuntarily.

"Are you a dynamite launcher?" Tong Yi looked at the dynamite still rolling on the ground in the light of the torch through the binoculars hanging around his neck, and murmured to himself.

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

"What a heartless cannon, it's very appropriate! Battalion Commander Tang, your invention is amazing! In the future, even if there is no cannon, we will not be afraid. As long as there are enough explosives, the enemy will have nothing to worry about." The expression on Tong Yi's face The excitement is beyond words.

Tong Yi, who has been in the army for almost 20 years and has rich combat experience, how could he not know the usefulness of throwing explosives more than 200 meters away?
It is almost equivalent to a super-large caliber mortar, which can throw 10 kilograms of explosives on the enemy's position 200 meters away. Whether it is a bunker or a fortification, under the attack of 10 kilograms of explosives, even if it is not blown up, It can also shock the people in it to death.

"Officer Tong is too famous. First of all, this is not my invention of Tang Dao, but the principle of the British projectile cannon during World War I; secondly, Commander Tong can't have too much expectation for this, if it weren't for us condescending on the mountain For delivery, the range of the 5 kg explosive package is only about 150 meters, and because of the need to attach a partition board, it is affected by factors such as wind speed, and its accuracy cannot be guaranteed at all.” Tang Dao explained.

In the future, although heartless cannons are being touted in various dramas, it clearly means that once a heartless cannon is released, all mountain cannons, howitzers, and cannons will have to kneel.

But as an elite special soldier who has been trained for more than ten years, Tang Dao actually knows very well that a cannon without a conscience cannot determine the victory of the battle at all. At best, it is the icing on the cake of the victory of the battle.

The first is that the accuracy is appallingly poor.

When the unconscionable cannons are fired, at least hundreds of them are fired together in rows?That's because unconscionable cannons have no accuracy at all. If you want to fire a cannon on a target, it's very simple. If all the cannons are fired together, it will be considered a success if one hits.

This stuff, not to mention precision strikes, is not even a probability attack.

The second is that the range is too short.

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

The most terrible thing is that this thing has a very fatal shortcoming. The Japanese army is equipped with a large number of grenade launchers, and the flying thunder cannon is still ready to go a few hundred meters away. Bag.

Then, it's going to be lively, making a heartless cannon to dig a hole for yourself?
Therefore, even if the Tangdao Independent Battalion had no large-caliber artillery, it never considered using this thing to fight against.

Moreover, the Japanese are not idiots. What if a reverse reasoning is used to study the principle of unconscionable artillery and use it to attack the Chinese army positions that do not have much defense depth?
