Chapter 1758 Strategic Shift (Thanks to User Mr. Gao for the Reward!)
Suddenly, the face of the brigade commander of the major general changed drastically.
At this moment, it was dumbfounded to find that a large package was flying towards it at a high speed.
And where the wisps of green smoke just came out, there was actually a brilliant fire.
If this is not a shell, what is it?
To be precise, this should be a pack of explosives.
And the weapon equipment for throwing explosive packs is the unscrupulous cannon commonly used by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
Or it is called the Flying Thunder Cannon.
In fact, up to now, not only the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army often uses this weapon, but also various other anti-Japanese armed forces.
This weapon is amazingly powerful and inexpensive.
Although it has shortcomings such as insufficient accuracy, too short range, and too high a risk factor when operating, it is definitely a cheap and good substitute for cannons for the Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces that are seriously lacking in cannons.
Specifically in terms of power, as the name suggests, the power is really scary.
One shot will definitely have the effect of a heavy artillery shell, and it will explode a large area.
The most astonishing thing is that many people who stayed at the center of the explosion seemed to be in good health after the explosion, but their internal organs were shattered.
Even their bones were the same.
At this very special moment, the brigade commander of the major general once again thought of the parameter characteristics of the conscienceless cannon.
Realizing that he was in an extremely dangerous place, he subconsciously wanted to escape.
Unfortunately, he did not have the time and space to escape.
This explosive pack came from a hilltop 1,500 meters away in a straight line.
Although its firing rate is very low, far less than that of regular artillery shells that can fly at supersonic speed, there is nothing wrong with describing its flying speed as lightning.
Therefore, before he had time to make an escape move, the brigade commander of the major general was terrified to find that the size of this explosive pack was getting bigger and bigger.
The key point is that he had close contact with it.
"Boom!"
In an instant, accompanied by a deafening explosion, the life of the major general brigade commander came to an end.
And its body quickly broke into pieces.
At the same time, the other devils within a radius of 20 meters with it as the center did the same.
Then, the shock wave continued to roll in all directions.
And the billowing smoke and gunpowder quickly spread in all directions.
For a time, the center of the explosion was immediately shrouded in thick smoke.
It must be said that this giant artillery shell was fired by Ye Tian.
As the founder and leader of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, there is no dispute that Ye Tian is the soul figure.
Therefore, considering that this battle is very important and is closely related to a series of battles later, Ye Tian was heroic and fired the first shot again.
On the other side, finding that the master Ye Tian fired the cannon, the dead soldiers ignited other unscrupulous cannons one after another.
In an instant, the sound of giant explosive packs firing on this hilltop came one after another.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."
Accompanied by bursts of piercing air sounds, numerous explosive packs were thrown down the mountain like a blanket.
Naturally, caught off guard, the Japanese soldiers were hit in large numbers.
After suffering such heavy casualties, the remaining Japanese soldiers were dumbfounded and frightened, and they all gave up.
At the same time, the Japanese and puppet coalition forces in other places noticed that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had jumped out to make trouble again, and immediately launched an emergency attack and encirclement here.
After firing the first shell, Ye Tian did not operate it personally.
While still alive, Ye Tian continued to climb high and look far away, closely watching everything around him.
Finding that the Japanese and puppet coalition forces in other places reacted so quickly, Ye Tian did not dare to neglect it.
After waiting for each unscrupulous cannon to fire five shells, Ye Tian played a wave of emergency evacuation.
As before, before getting in the car, Ye Tian set up a large minefield again.
After completing these operations, Ye Tiancai once again mounted the tiger's back and left this troubled place at lightning speed.
What made Ye Tian happy was that he had run three kilometers away, but the reinforcements of the Japanese and puppet coalition forces had not yet arrived at the foot of the hill.
What made Ye Tian most happy was that he was delighted to find that in the previous raid, the organization of this independent mixed brigade was actually crippled.
Yes, before the raid, Ye Tian made careful arrangements.
250 unscrupulous cannons can basically cover these tens of thousands of devils.
And Ye Tian's confidence in doing so comes from the advantage of being high above.
After the efforts of the technical masters of the storage space arsenal area, the range of the unscrupulous cannon has been greatly increased.
At the beginning, the range was only about 200 meters.
After the day and night efforts of the technical masters, on flat ground, the range of the unscrupulous cannon has been able to reach 1,500 meters.
It is conceivable that if so many powerful weapons are placed on the top of a mountain, the range will definitely be increased a lot.
In fact, the efforts of the technical masters are very simple.
On the one hand, they abandoned ordinary gasoline barrels and used the high-quality rails obtained by Ye Tian for reprocessing to produce thick iron sheets.
Then, the iron sheets were made into barrels.
In addition, in order to increase the strength so that it can withstand more impact of propellants and avoid accidents such as explosions, five iron hoops were wrapped around the outside of the large iron barrel.
Second, when using it, under the premise of ensuring safety, Ye Tian always asked the dead soldiers to increase the propellant.
Of course, Ye Tian did not forget to order the dead soldiers to load as much explosives as possible.
After continuous improvement, the power of the conscienceless cannon naturally became stronger and stronger.
What Ye Tian was happy to see was that so many giant explosive packs were thrown down and even ignited the forest fire.
Therefore, a scene that made Ye Tian's eyes light up appeared.
In the bursts of explosions just now, this independent mixed brigade was basically wiped out.
However, there are still hundreds of little devils who are still alive and kicking because of their luck. To be precise, because they are just behind the boulders, they are not baptized by the shock wave.
And the boulders that blocked the artillery for them were seriously broken.
Therefore, it is not wrong to say that these devils have escaped death.
Finding that they were not killed by the explosion, but simply deafened, or their ears were bleeding, these devils were really surprised and happy.
However, immediately afterwards, the scene that frightened them appeared again.
"Boom boom boom..."
They were still immersed in both surprise and joy, but suddenly found that the fire was rolling towards them.
Sweeping thousands of troops like a roll of mat!
After a while, many Japanese who escaped by chance were swallowed by the flames.
And they all made a creepy howl.
At the same time, waves of barbecue aroma quickly spread in all directions.
Obviously, this is the aroma produced by the Japanese being grilled.
In addition to the aroma, there is also the burnt smell of the corpses roasted by the fierce fire.
Watching all this with his eyes wide open, Ye Tian was very happy.
Ye Tian was very happy, but the Japanese who were not hit were still not calm.
Under the strong desire to survive, they all fled desperately, trying to escape from the fire.
"Hahaha..."
Looking at the frightened look of these Japanese, and seeing that they actually exerted their speed beyond their level, Ye Tian laughed.
While laughing, a strategic transfer battle plan finally formed in Ye Tian’s mind.
