Chapter 60: Heartless Cannon

The cruiser "Tyuta" and the aircraft carriers "Kaga" and "Hōsho" were bombed and sunk, and the flagship of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, the Izumo, was also damaged by a diving bomb by the 19th Route Army death squad. The news spread to Japan, and the whole country was shocked.

Shocked; and because of the labor of the troops and the mobilization of the masses, the war could not be resolved quickly.

For this reason, on the 23rd, the Japanese Cabinet meeting decided to quickly dispatch Army reinforcements. Therefore, the General Staff Headquarters decided to establish the Shanghai Dispatch Army Headquarters. General Shirakawa Yoshinori, the Prime Minister of the Maeda Cabinet, replaced Ueda, and added Lieutenant General Atsutaro Atsushi.

The 11th Division, Lieutenant General Naoki Matsuki, the 14th Division and more than 100 aircraft came to China in order to launch a larger-scale attack in Shanghai.

In addition to the original mixed brigade dispatched to Shanghai by Major General Shimoto Kumaya and the 9th Division of Lieutenant General Ueda Kenkichi, after three reinforcements, the Japanese army in Shanghai under Shirakawa's command has reached more than 70,000 troops and 80 warships.

300 aircraft, a sudden increase in combat effectiveness. At that time, China

The total strength of the garrison was less than 50,000, and the equipment was poor. After a month of hard fighting, the casualties were relatively serious. The river defense in the Liuhe area of ​​Taicang on the left was very weak. Baichuan learned from the failure of the frontal attack by the previous three commanders and decided to attack from the flanks.

He landed on the river and attacked the Songhu defenders from two sides.

Liuhe Town is located in the east of Taicang City, Jiangsu Province, about 15 kilometers away from the urban area. It faces Chongming Island across the river to the east, and borders Shanghai Baoshan and Jiading District to the south. It is the second gateway to the Yangtze River Estuary and an important market town along the river in Taicang City, Jiangsu Province.

The largest fishing base in the province. Historically, it was the sea port in the Jiangnan area. In ancient times, it was

It is an important port for foreign trade. Zheng He, the navigator of the Ming Dynasty, commanded the Ming Dynasty fleet to sail to the West. He weighed anchor from Liujiagang seven times and was known as the "No. 1 Pier in the World". At the same time, Liuhe was also a nuclear physicist in China and "the Oriental Dweller".

It is the hometown of Wu Jianxiong, the granddaughter-in-law of Yuan Shikai, the famous 100-year-old painter Zhu Qizhan.

Feng Quan approached Minister of Military and Political Affairs He Yingqin and wanted to discuss Liuhe defense issues. At this time, the entire Songhu battlefield was under his command. He Yingqin had never seen Feng Quan. Besides, he was also very busy. Just as he was about to blast Feng Quan out, the adjutant next to him

Tell him softly that Feng Quan was the hero who sank the Japanese cruiser Ryuda and the aircraft carriers Kaga and Hosho.

He Yingqin immediately let Feng Quan into the small conference room. He was very shrewd. Chen Cheng relied on the arms and gold and silver treasures that Feng Quan brought from the northeast. It was not a secret at all for a person of his level. He Yingqin

He also wanted to get some credit, but the strength gap between the two armies was too big. Although he won one or two small victories, he was already exhausted and had no good way to deal with the increasing number of Japanese troops.

"Sir, you are so busy, so I will keep the story short. According to reports, the Japanese reinforcements are going to land at Liuhe, Taicang. How about asking Sir He to leave it to me? I am confident that I can hold it." Feng Quan directly stated his purpose.

.

"What? Little Japan is planning to land there, but there is only one regiment there. Little brother, how many people do you have in total?" He Yingqin was shocked when he heard this. Reinforcements are needed everywhere now. He is very stretched and pins his hopes on

Feng's whole body.

"We have a total of 100 troops, each with 1 man, which is equivalent to a company, with a total of 180 1-caliber mortars and 180 M2 heavy machine guns."

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional, "Fuck! The firepower is too powerful, the equipment is better than one of our German weapon organizers, and the other two divisions are not as good as you. No, we can't let this kid go with Chen Cheng

Too close, try to win over him."

"Haha, I feel relieved when I leave the position to you. After this battle, please come to my house and let's have a good chat. The war is urgent, so you go quickly." He Yingqin felt very happy when someone shared his worries and gave him credit.

joy.

...

Feng Quan had already made careful preparations. The position did not require too many people to defend, and it could not be defended purely by defense. The 11th Division was a Category A division of the Imperial Japanese Army, and was one of the 17 standing divisions of the Japanese army before the outbreak of World War II.

1. More than 16,000 people, well-equipped and very powerful.

"Hurry up, Little Japan's 11th Division is coming soon." Feng Quan is directing his friends and a regiment that was originally defending here to make a big killer. I believe it will give Little Japan an unforgettable memory.

The heartless cannon is the flying thunder cannon. The flying thunder is a homemade weapon created by the People's Liberation Army. It also has a more famous name - the heartless cannon. During the Liberation War, the People's Liberation Army had very few artillery and was at a disadvantage in terms of weapons and equipment.

Under such circumstances, the officers and soldiers created a disheartening

A brave weapon - an explosive pack launcher with a gasoline barrel as the barrel. The main body of this weapon, also called an explosive projectile barrel, is an empty gasoline barrel. After filling it with propellant, the explosives are bundled into a disc shape.

Put the bag in, then ignite the propellant, and the explosive bag will be thrown to

At a distance of about 0 meters, the firing principle is similar to that of a mortar, which also follows a curve instead of a straight line.

The short range of the "heartless gun" is no longer a problem. In Feng Quan's eyes, I am afraid that this kind of humble guy is more satisfactory than the Katyusha - the Katyusha bm-13 rocket launcher has a caliber of only 132 mm, and it is not at all

If you can't drag it up the mountain, what about the "heartless cannon"? It has a caliber of 300 mm and can be fired by digging a hole... To make a "heartless cannon", all you need is a gasoline barrel and a yellow explosive bag.

Feng Quan got more than 50 cm diameter and 90 cm long gasoline barrels from He Yingqin, and made more than 300 mm caliber heavy artillery, which was as powerful as a naval gun. Feng Quan was equipped with high-explosive yellow explosives and

Some of the incendiary agents removed from some incendiary bombs are not fun to hear but don't catch fire.

You can imagine how surprised the Japanese troops on the opposite side would be when the Japanese troops suddenly fired a row of weird things like "heartless cannons"! They would definitely suspect that they had received accurate large-caliber artillery shells from dozens of kilometers away.

Attack. It seems that little Japan may have been beaten, but I don’t know how.

The "thunder" initially came from the east. Soon, the same sound came from the north and west, and many explosive packets appeared in the sky. They were flying, rolling, whistling, and flying in the sky.

It drew a terrifying trajectory, and then fell densely, hitting the Japanese army who was halfway across the river. The cunning Japanese army wanted to sneak attack the enemy's retreat, thinking that no one knew, the team was very dense, densely packed in a large area.

The heartless cannon appeared out of nowhere! Attacked halfway across the river! Feng Quan and his friends happily raised their binoculars and pointed at the Japanese army. The Japanese soldiers next to them looked at them with admiration, their eyes filled with little stars.

...

Out of instinct, the little Japanese fell to the ground one by one. At the same time, violent explosions started accompanied by raging fires. The shock wave was raging, and the craters seemed to become small rocks shaking on the gambling table under the constant explosions.

The little dice cup, everything was turned upside down.

The ferry was almost blown to the ground. I don't know how long it took, but the shaking ground finally calmed down. There were no bones left of the Japanese soldiers at the center of the explosion. The ground further away was covered with corpses. Most of them had no blood on their appearance. They were obviously killed by the shock wave. The ground

A mess, melting snow

It melted, the soil was blown up and fluffy, and sleeping snakes, mice, and the like were actually shaken out of the ground, lying strangely among the remaining bricks and rubble. The plowed soil was mixed with broken wood chips and broken pieces of wood.

The military uniforms were even mixed with unexploded explosives.

0 heartless cannons, each firing three waves in a row. Calculating that each cannon throws 30 kilograms of high explosives each time, Feng Quan led this "heavy artillery division" to attack the 10th Tenth of Little Japan with a radius of 10,000 square meters.

The First Division launched 18,000 kilograms of explosives, with an average of more than one kilogram per square meter, not to mention some incendiary agents mixed in. One can imagine the effect.

The Japanese Third Fleet was also affected, turned around and ran away, haha, "The enemy has a heavy artillery division, hundreds of 300mm large-caliber heavy artillery!"

"Without the protection of naval guns, let's see how I deal with the remaining little devils like you! I'll play with you to death."
