The .50BMG bullets Zhao Xin placed on the patrol boat were all M8 armor-piercing incendiary bombs. He originally bought these armor-piercing incendiary bombs for the purpose of hitting boats. No matter whether they are hard sailing boats or soft sailing boats, even if they were hit with dozens of rounds, they would always light up.
Already.
What everyone didn't expect was that the M8's first actual combat was to hit someone.
To discuss the lethality of weapons, we should first talk about bullets. A gun is just a tool for firing bullets. The muzzle kinetic energy of the 0.50BMG is between 14,000 and 18,000 joules; and the Gew M1917 anti-tank rifle built by the Germans in 1917,
It uses a 13.2mm special armor-piercing bullet with a muzzle kinetic energy of 15,000 joules. It can penetrate 20mm armor plate at a distance of 100m and 15mm armor plate at a distance of 300m.
So you can imagine what will happen if it hits someone.
However, verbal sexual intercourse is one thing, and actually shooting someone is another matter. Let’s not mention whether you dare to shoot or not. After the beating, there will definitely be psychological shadow. The so-called "PDST" is also.
So Liu Sheng didn't want to aim at the crowd at first. He aimed at a tree. Liu Sheng thought of giving a shock first, but if that didn't work, he could only bite the bullet and do it!
When he was observing just now, he remembered that there seemed to be a warrior hiding behind the tree. Liu Sheng was afraid that pressing the trigger would not have any effect, so he pressed it twice. As a result, ten rounds of .50BMG flew towards the big tree.
In the field of view of Deng Fei's telescope, the big tree instantly spattered sawdust, as if it only took two bullets to pierce the trunk; then, a cloud of blood mist burst out from behind the tree. The scattered wood chips were mixed with the blood mist.
Scattered in all directions, the warrior hiding behind the tree was instantly shattered, and his stumps fell to the ground; and the area where the tree was shot also began to burn.
Deng Fei, who was holding a telescope to observe, suddenly felt sick after seeing this scene.
Liu Sheng stopped pressing the trigger and took a look at the beach. It was still quiet; the ambush soldiers hiding in the grass, big trees and huts showed no reaction at all.
"I'll wipe it~ It's okay!" Liu Sheng was very surprised by the endurance of the island nation's warriors. Can't he scare him away?
So he continued to press the trigger, this time aiming at a hut. Although he didn't like the Japs, it was difficult for people who had not experienced that era to have personal hatred, so he still chose to shoot towards a place with few people.
gun.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!!!" Ten more rounds were fired.
The thatched hut was instantly torn apart, with countless stumps accompanied by blood mist, flying dead branches, and thatch exploding inside the hut. A warrior only five meters away from the hut was sprayed in an instant.
Blood on face.
Liu Sheng looked confused and thought, "How can I beat him? There's no one there!"
"Ah!!!" The Date family warriors who were ambushed on the shore finally reacted. Looking at the fallen limbs and the blood on the ground, these people were frightened and panicked. Many of them turned around and wanted to run away.
Seven or eight senior warriors in armor drew their sabers and shouted at the junior warriors who tried to escape. They drove those armed with bows and arrows and matchlock guns into the knee-deep water, shouting "Aim!
shooting!"
Thirty warriors armed with square bamboo bows were the first to launch arrows.
Starting from the middle of the Heian period, Maruki bows with poor range and power were gradually eliminated, and powerful synthetic bows began to become the mainstream. The maximum range of these synthetic bows can reach 350-400 meters, and the effective range is about 180-200 meters. (According to
The different making methods of the bow body are divided into fu bamboo bow, three-piece bow, four-piece bow and square bamboo bow)
Liu Sheng was poisoned by the rumors on the Internet that the range of Japanese bows was only a few dozen meters. That's why he dared to arrogantly ask Zhao Liang to park the patrol boat two hundred meters away from the shore.
As soon as this guy saw the opponent with his bow and arrow ready, he had no intention of hiding and was still looking up.
In Liu Sheng's eyes, the warriors on the opposite side are just a bunch of radishes. But what's the old saying? Don't use radishes as food!
Deng Fei, who felt bad, pushed Liu Sheng behind the MK93 bulletproof steel plate. The two of them heard the whizzing sound above their heads, and several long arrows hit the bulletproof steel shield and jingled. If it weren't for Deng Fei,
If you pull him, Liu Sheng will definitely be hit by several arrows.
Just as Liu Sheng was about to stand up, more than twenty long arrows were shot at him. He was so frightened that he squatted down again.
In the cockpit below the deck, Zhao Liang, Lu Shoushan, Sheng Haizhou, Li Ji and five island sailors were squatting or lying down under the portholes, covering their ears tightly. The sound of machine guns on the deck just now shocked them.
Zhao Liang was about to raise his head to take a look at the situation when he saw several long arrows flying towards him, so he quickly lowered his head.
After the arrow hit the cab glass, it made a jingling sound and left several small white dots.
On the coast, several warriors holding matchlock guns hurriedly wrapped one end around their left arm, passed the other end through the gun body, lit the match, and then clamped the match between the index and middle fingers of their left hand; then, they took it from their waists
Powder kettle (the size of this kettle is usually a 5-8cm kettle, which is tied to the waist. After loading the powder, let go immediately, and the kettle will naturally hang on the waist). Pour the ignition powder into the fire vessel on the gun body.
Inside, close the fire cover, blow the lit match rope hard twice, clamp it to the fire clip on the gun body, and open the fire cover.
"Aim! Shoot!" A samurai raised the knife in his hand and swung it hard towards the patrol boat.
Because the bullets and gunpowder in the gun chamber had been loaded in advance, the warriors aimed their guns and immediately pulled the triggers.
"Boom boom!!!" Balls of gunpowder smoke rose.
There was a loud crackling sound, and a dozen lead bullets that hit the hull and bulletproof steel plates were bounced off and fell around the deck.
Several rounds of lead bullets hit the glass of the cockpit, and the shattered glass suddenly fell to the ground. Several island sailors were frightened and screamed.
"Shut up, bastard! Stay down!" Liji angrily cursed at several sailors.
"Reload! Reload quickly!!" The sword-wielding samurai standing in the sea continued to shout orders.
"Nah!" Liu Sheng was irritated. He stood up and held the handle of the M2HB. He pointed at the samurai who was shooting from the shore and pressed the trigger. This time, his finger did not lift up.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
As the muzzle of the gun continued to swing, the warriors on the beach were suddenly covered in blood and flesh. Large pieces of flesh and blood torn by bullets were splashed everywhere. The arms and thighs that were shot away fell into the water with a crackling sound.
There were splashes of water; after several archery warriors were hit by bullets, there were big holes in their bodies; what's more, after being shot, they flew backwards and turned into a pile of minced meat. They fell into the sea water.
The blood that emerged from the warriors' bodies quickly dyed the nearby seawater red, but disappeared in an instant as the waves continued to wash away.
"Bang bang bang!!!" Liu Sheng ignored it and continued to fire until all the ammunition boxes were empty. The red barrel was emitting green smoke, and Liu Sheng and Deng Fei were choked by the sprayed gunpowder gas.
of cough.
At this time, the beach had turned into a flesh and blood mill, lifeless. Occasionally, a few desperate screams rang out, and soon became quiet again.
A warrior who was lucky enough to survive looked around for his left arm that had been blown away. Blood was dripping from the exposed broken arm. But the warrior seemed not to feel any pain at all, and was already dyed pink.
Keep fishing in the colorful sea water.
Dozens of gun-wielding warriors and civilians hiding in the grass on the shore have begun to run away. These people either dropped their spears or held weapons, crawled or ran using their hands and feet, and stumbled toward the pine trees.
The main gate of Shima Town.
These people used their distorted voices to shout heartbreakingly: "Devil, devil!!!"
In the knee-deep water, dozens of warriors lay face down in the water and floated with the waves. Some were washed ashore directly by the waves; and on the shore not far away, a still burning
The dilapidated thatched hut made a crackling sound.
"Wow!" Deng Fei finally couldn't help it when he saw the scene in front of him, and started to vomit while holding on to the railing.
"It's okay, I'm used to vomiting." Liu Sheng was secretly frightened, pretending not to care on the surface, and patted Deng Fei on the back.
"Fuck you, uncle!" Deng Fei cursed manically and pushed Liu Sheng's arm away.
"What did you say?!" Liu Sheng's ears were filled with echoes at the moment, and he couldn't hear what Deng Fei said at all.
At this time, on the Thor, under the surprised gazes of the sailors from the island countries on the ship, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng quickly tore off the green canvas gun jacket of the D30 on the bow, and quickly adjusted the height and direction of the muzzle.
Wang Yuanfang leaned on the direct mirror and meowed, then turned around and took a grenade from the ammunition box on the deck and loaded it into the gun barrel. Zhao Xin took the ammunition feeding stick and pushed the shell into the gun chamber and tightened it; Wang Yuanfang also picked up another ammunition box from another ammunition box.
He took out the cartridge and loaded it with the medicine bag, then put it into the barrel of the gun.
"Where are you aiming?" Zhao Xin asked Wang Yuanfang.
"It's the shallow water area in front of the beach."
"What the hell!" Zhao Xin scolded. "Aim at the west side of Matsushima Town, where the main gate of the town is located."
"Isn't this not good?"
Zhao Xin immediately roared: "Brother, we are not here for tourism! Even if we are here for tourism, we can't even get to the shore now! You saw what those refugees are like yesterday. We are here to save people!
If we don't scare them away, who knows what else they will do."
Wang Yuanfang blushed at Zhao Xin's roar. He returned to the direct sight again, and while checking the position, he asked Zhao Xin to turn the steering gear and height machine.
As he finished aiming, Wang Yuan retreated to the side of the ship four or five meters away from the cannon; Zhao Xin also retreated to him holding a rope connected to the firing machine, and then pulled hard.
There was a loud "Boom!" and the refugees in the lower warehouse were frightened and screamed. Everyone lay down on the deck and buried their heads.
The gun body affected by the strong recoil, several sandbags pressed on the frame, the cork bedding under the gun wheel, and several steel cables connected to the gun body all offset the recoil weighing 3,000 kilograms. Only the front and rear
It shook for a few times and then stopped.
"Hey, it really works!" Zhao Xin looked at the stationary cannon, patted Wang Yuanfang on the shoulder, jumped up and shouted happily.
"Boom!" Two kilometers away, a black smoke column mixed with flames rose at the west gate of Matsushima Town.
Fortunately, at the gate on the west side of the town hall, the fleeing samurai and civilian husbands, as well as dozens of samurai standing at the gate of the town hall ready to respond, gathered together.
Nearly two thousand prefabricated fragments flew violently from the center of the explosion in all directions. The area within a radius of thirty meters was immediately wiped out, and countless residual limbs and flesh flew into the air.
The shock wave of the explosion carried shrapnel and continued to rage around crazily. The wooden door of the townhouse and dozens of surrounding houses were immediately blown away. The broken roofs, doors, windows, and beams turned into countless sharp wood chips, which spread and splashed along with the shock wave.
Half of Matsushima Town was filled with howls and screams.
The smoke dissipated slightly, and it was seen that the wooden door at the center of the explosion had completely disappeared, leaving only a large crater nearly one meter deep.
"Wow~~" Several townspeople who were walking on the east side of Matsushima Town were frightened by the explosion and fell to the ground. As soon as these people got up, the blood rain falling from the sky suddenly poured over them.
During the night, the 250 Date family samurai who had just been sent from Sendai Castle, as well as most of the military force of the Matsushima Town Office, were completely lost.
Wang Yuanfang held up his telescope and stared blankly at the shelled town in his field of vision, murmuring: "What did we do?"
(According to modern test records, taking the typical OF-462 grenade for a 122mm howitzer as an example, its total weight is 21.76 kilograms, the charge is 3.6 kilograms, the effective killing radius of shock waves and fragments is about 30 meters, and the killing area is about 2,700 square meters
, equivalent to the area of 7 basketball courts. It can blast a crater 0.7 meters deep and three meters in diameter on the ground.)
