1942, I lived on hunting

Chapter 48 The Unscrupulous Cannon Comes into Being

Li Hao continued: "In addition, the weapons abandoned by the security team around the village must be collected as soon as possible. It is best for the soldiers to collect them while on guard, so as not to delay either!"

Captain Li: "Yes, yes! Collect them. We must collect them thoroughly!"

Li Hao: "It has been a day and a night since I chased the security regiment away. It will probably take another whole day for us to cross the blockade and reach the village. After all, we can't take the risk of crossing the blockade with the villagers during the day, right? We must lurk near the blockade until night to get through. There are too many variables in two days. We don't know whether the Japs will take action after receiving the news, and how they will arrange their troops. Will they ask for help? Or will they reorganize the security regiment and bring it directly here? If they come back with the security regiment, we will definitely not let them go once we meet them, right? Considering that some people must have escaped to the artillery tower, they may notify the Japs faster, so the time of the Japs's movement cannot be accurately predicted. We must send personnel to conduct careful reconnaissance and be prepared for battle. Don't be passive!"

Captain Li: "That's very possible. The Japanese like to design traps based on our goals, so we have to be on guard."

Li Hao: "The other thing is the artillery tower. We can't always have a artillery tower between the village and the mountain. It will be inconvenient to do anything. I have a way to easily knock down the artillery tower, but I need you to find a few veterans who are good at blasting to help me. I need to arrange it in advance. Captain, you are all veterans, so you can arrange other combat tasks! Leave the artillery tower to me, whether you knock down the artillery tower directly and rush over, or sneak past the artillery tower and then knock down the artillery tower after the operation is completed. You can discuss the time and give me the order directly. Otherwise, once we fight with the Japanese, it will be difficult to be attacked from both sides! We must guard our retreat!"

Captain Li: "I will discuss the situation you mentioned with the instructor. I will arrange for everyone to gather and count the personnel and troops. You can think about what kind of people or things you need to take down the artillery tower. As long as we have them, we can give them to you. I will arrange for people to follow your command, and you will be fully responsible for the safety of our retreat."

After Captain Li finished speaking, he called the old soldier over and asked him to be responsible for taking Li Hao to prepare the things needed to attack the artillery tower, and then turned around and went out to gather the team!

Li Hao: "What do you call me comrade?"

Veteran: "Call Zhu Laoliu, Comrade Li Hao, what do you need? How many people do you need?"

Li Hao: "I need some gasoline barrels, some black powder and military explosives, and some iron bars. I need a blacksmith, a carpenter, and a demolition expert who can make explosive packs."

Zhu Laoliu: "There are not many gasoline barrels. Most of them were used as water barrels after being seized. You can find them. There is not much military explosives. Only enough to make a few explosive packs. There is a lot of black powder. How much do you want? I will call the blacksmith and carpenter to you right away. You don't need to find a blaster. I can make explosive packs and my blasting skills are also pretty good."

Li Hao: "Arrange someone to bring the gasoline barrel over. We will go to the blacksmith first."

Zhu Laoliu called a few people and asked them to go get the gasoline barrels, and then took Li Hao directly to the blacksmith's house.

When passing by the village, the village was in the process of emergency mobilization. The messenger accepted the task and rushed to other villages to convey the order without stopping. It seemed that Captain Li was ready to fully mobilize the power of the villagers and do a big job.

Li Hao and his team came to the blacksmith's house, and the blacksmith was already waiting for them. Li Hao explained the requirements for modifying the gasoline barrel to the blacksmith, and the blacksmith quickly lifted the top cover according to Li Hao's requirements, drilled holes next to the bottom, and installed several iron hoops on the outside of the gasoline barrel to strengthen the strength of the gasoline barrel. Li Hao asked the carpenter who came to make some round wooden boards that could fit into the iron barrel, and made several wooden frames to support the iron barrel. This was not difficult for the carpenter, and he quickly finished it. Finally, it was Zhu Laoliu, who made several round explosive packs with his exquisite craftsmanship and took some fuses. Li Hao asked someone to notify the captain not to be startled by the explosion and cause misunderstandings, and then Li Hao took them to an unmanned place outside the village to test.

After finding a large rock as a target, Li Hao first experimented with a black powder charge to avoid wasting precious military explosives. After setting up the gasoline barrel and filling it, Li Hao asked everyone to hide behind the selected bunkers, then lit the fuse and jumped back into the bunker like a frightened rabbit.

With a muffled "bang", the black powder explosive pack was thrown far away, followed by a loud "boom", which made people's chests stuffy and gravel flew all over the sky. Li Hao stretched his head and saw that the big rock that was chosen as the target was fine, but the pile of rocks behind it were blown into a mess!

Li Hao didn't know anything about blasting. For the purpose of experiment, he asked Zhu Laoliu to load more black gunpowder. Unexpectedly, the power of black gunpowder was not very small!

Then Li Hao asked Zhu Laoliu, the blaster, to continue doing what he was good at, and roughly figure out how far a heavy charge could be fired with how much propellant, and then Li Hao would not have to think about these things later. At that time, he only needed to put the gasoline barrel and the explosive pack back into the space, then touch the side of the gun tower, release them directly and ignite them to destroy the gun tower.

Soon Zhu Laoliu used up all the black powder he brought, but the gasoline barrel was also useless. It doesn't matter. Originally, this kind of thing was used for temporary emergency, so there is no need to think about how strong it is. There are still some gasoline barrels, which are definitely enough. When Li Hao has more points later, he can directly exchange some Laiyang steel pipes in the system, and then this problem will not occur! Isn't it said on the Internet in later generations? Laiyang steel pipes are used when poor, and Rheinmetall is used when rich. The Eighth Route Army guerrillas are not rich either, so just use these!

Captain Li arranged the tasks here, and discussed with the instructor about possible problems, and made some emergency plans. I only heard a loud rumble outside for a while, and then a loud rumble. I couldn't help but be curious about what Li Hao and his team were doing, so I came here with the instructor to see. When they arrived, Li Hao and his team had finished and were packing up to go back. After listening to Zhu Laoliu's brief introduction, his eyes lit up immediately! This method is really great. In the past, they lacked offensive weapons. When attacking artillery towers or offensive operations, they could only let the demolition hands get close to the blasting. With this weapon, there is no need to worry. After listening to Zhu Laoliu's introduction that if it is buried in the soil, the maximum range can reach 300 meters, I couldn't help but dance with excitement! I couldn't help but think of the many ways to use this weapon named "unconscionable cannon" by Li Hao! It's just that Li Hao obviously doesn't know how to name it! If it were him, he would definitely name it "Flying Thunder Cannon" or "Zhantian Cannon" to be more impressive!

Li Hao explained to them in detail how to make and use the "unscrupulous cannon". Captain Li and the instructor were veterans who had experienced many battles, but they were just a little bit short of understanding. How could a green hand like Li Hao teach them after they had been enlightened? They could see the advantages and disadvantages of this weapon at a glance. Isn't it just that the range is short and the accuracy is low? But it is powerful! If the accuracy is not enough, then the quantity can make up for it! If the range is short, then find a way to get close and shoot! It is better than the past where the blaster had to hold the explosive pack and get close to the enemy's feet in the face of the enemy's gunfire and bullets to complete the task, right?

Captain Li ordered that all existing gasoline barrels be collected and made into "unscrupulous cannons". In future battles, gasoline barrels would be the first target to be seized. Whoever could get a gasoline barrel would be rewarded and praised!
