"Commander Chu, we were ordered to report here." Guo Huaibao, company commander of the Third Battalion and Second Company of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, said to Chu Yunfei: "As long as you give the order, we will provide fire support immediately."
At this time, they were five kilometers outside the west wall of Taiyuan City, which was the scheduled contact point.
Hearing Guo Huaibao's voice, Chu Yunfei looked around in surprise: "Where are your cannons?"
This company is all cavalry, riding on horses, no matter what, you can't see the artillery they carry. Sure enough, the Eighth Route Army is really capable, and they have come up with such a artillery. The weapons are light and easy to carry by the cavalry. , It can be assembled at any time, which made him feel very emotional. In the Eighth Route Army, capable people come forth in large numbers.
In this era, there are quite a few warlords who can make weapons. Take Yan Laoxi as an example. If it wasn¡¯t for the devils, Yan Laoxi would still want to make airplanes by himself. However, their manufactures are all imitations. Whether it's submachine guns, pistols, rifles, or even mortars and mountain cannons, they are all imitations. They have never made any weapons according to their own needs, but now, the Eighth Route Army can.
Strong firepower, great lethality, and easy to carry, how did the Eighth Route Army come up with it? It is said that this weapon was developed by the man named Qin Baoshan. He is really capable, no wonder he can be the director of the military factory.
It's a pity that such a person cannot serve the party-state. Thinking of this, he was a little disappointed. How could everyone go to the Eighth Route Army?
After hearing his words, Guo Huaibao said: "Please rest assured, since we have promised to provide fire support to you, we will definitely do it."
Chu Yunfei nodded: "I believe in you, then, please take out your artillery. After the fire support, we will rush into Taiyuan City."
Behind them, the soldiers of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army heard that they were going to fight Taiyuan City. They were all very excited. Taiyuan City was the base camp of the Jinsui Army. How can you be unhappy.
If it was in the past, they would never have dared to have such an idea. The little devils are too strong, and they beat the Jinsui army to the point of pissing. Devil's trouble.
But recently, the little devil suffered heavy losses from the Eighth Route Army one after another. Later, even Taiyuan City was once conquered by the Eighth Route Army. He went in and killed the commander of the first army of the little devil They were seriously injured, and these achievements encouraged them. Only then did they realize that the little devil had become a paper tiger, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
Therefore, they can't wait to show their strength. What the Eighth Route Army can do, the Jinsui Army can do too. They don't want to be compared.
Now, we are waiting for the fire support from the Eighth Route Army.
So, in a pair of eyes, they saw the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army getting off their horses, and then, carrying a shell from above?
That's right, it should look like a cannonball. The front is in the shape of a date pit, and the back is shiny with brass. What else can it be if it's not a cannonball?
There are shells, but what about the cannon?
With their eyes wide open, they didn't see the cannon, but watched the cavalry take out their exquisite engineer shovels and start digging up the ground.
Wait, what are you doing? Digging trenches? Digging trenches is useless. They are now attacking, not defending. What is the use of digging trenches five kilometers outside Taiyuan City?
However, the Eighth Route Army ignored them and worked very quickly. After a while, small mounds were dug out one by one, and they were solidified with engineer shovels, and then the shells were placed on them.
"Wait, may I ask, what are you doing?" At this time, Chu Yunfei couldn't bear it anymore, and asked Guo Huaibao, would you put this shell on the mound of soil and detonate it? ? In that case, it can't fly out at all, it can only explode on the spot.
"Commander Chu, don't be impatient, you will understand soon." Guo Huaibao said, and then he took out a weird caliper with complicated scales on it. This caliper can just hold the shells, and then , Guo Huaibao squatted down, squinted his left eye, like a carpenter, and looked even weirder with his right eye.
Chu Yunfei became more and more curious, are these people using this method to target? That's too primitive, even if such a caliper is added, how accurate can it be?
Besides, without a barrel, can this thing be fired if it is directly ignited?
Chu Yunfei was really puzzled.?, I am also more and more interested. I have to say that this is in line with the standards of the Eighth Route Army. To make guns, it needs high-quality steel. So far, the Eighth Route Army has only obtained railway steel from railways. The quality of steel is absolutely It's not good, it can't meet the needs of making guns at all. I didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army could fire without gun barrels at all!
Guo Huaibao kept shaking the rocket on the mound, fine-tuning its posture, and finally, it was adjusted.
"Everyone adjust according to my point of view. Now, let me talk about shooting Zhuyuan." Guo Huaibao shouted to everyone.
Soon, all the rockets were put away.
"You guys, are you going to light it with an open flame?" When Guo Huaibao took out a torch, lit it, and then lit someone else's torch, Chu Yunfei was shocked.
Some cannons are fired with firing pins, just like rifles, some are fired with electric shocks, and more are fired with compound fires to reduce the probability of blind fire. However, this is the first time I have seen it fired directly with an open flame, and it seems that only the original era The muzzle-loading cannon, the kind of twister, is used in this way, right?
If it is used by the Eighth Route Army itself, of course it is not so troublesome, how fast the electric shock is delivered, but it costs money! I heard that these rockets will be used by the Jinsui Army, so in the arsenal, there is no electric shock device installed at the tail, so the only way left is to ignite with an open flame.
?How to save trouble, and this can also tell the Jinsui Army that the military industry of the Eighth Route Army is definitely not as strong as imagined.
"Yes." Guo Huaibao said, "Commander Chu, would you like to try it?"
Chu Yunfei only felt a chill in his heart, how about trying? What's so good about this, who would have thought that the Eighth Route Army would be so stupid!
The previous intelligence seems to be all rumors. Where does the Eighth Route Army have any super weapons?
I don't want to point it out, a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, he doesn't believe that Li Yunlong will harm him, but what if the quality of the Eighth Route Army's manufacturing is not high and it blows up?
Therefore, it is better to be further away. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
