Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 361 Napalm
As the saying goes, "the Tao is as high as one foot and the devil is as high as one foot".

Out of consideration for their own safety, the two armies on opposing sides often think carefully about how to defend each other.

The Eighth Route Army used rocket launchers to deal with the devil's gun towers. Of course, the devils would not sit still but did everything possible to find a way to deal with the rocket launchers.

Now they have found it, that is, they added a bunker in front of the gun tower.

This is indeed a good way.

The reason is that bunkers are different from gun towers.

The gun tower needs a certain height, so that you can use searchlights and rifles to control the distance from a high place.

The disadvantage is that it is impossible to make the walls thicker, otherwise the cost will be too high.

At the same time, this kind of turret with a considerable height is easy to become the target of ghost cannons and rocket launchers due to its large projectile surface.

Bunkers are just the opposite.

It does not require height, so the area to be bombed is reduced, and because the low engineering volume is small, the walls can be made very thick, and some strong bunkers are even several meters thick, to the point where they can withstand aerial bombs.

The devil's bunker did not reach this level, they just built a bunker with a wall of about [-] centimeters with stones and cement.

But this bunker is enough to defend against rocket launchers... The bazooka is filled with black powder, which is fine against the brick and earth walls of the gun tower, but it is not enough to deal with the stone and cement bunker.

Wu Jin went on to say: "The devil also uses the gun tower to cooperate with the bunker. The gun tower is responsible for observation, that is, the roof is illuminated by searchlights, and the ... snipers are used on the top. In addition, they are connected to the bunker with a telephone line to tell the bunker what is going on. !"

Listening to Wang Xuexin, he understood that this is a combination of height and distance, and it is of course difficult for the Eighth Route Army's bazooka to break through this line of defense.

The blockade issue is no small matter.

The Eighth Route Army has always been infiltrating enemy-occupied areas by attacking the enemy on the blockade...Today one blockhouse will be knocked down here, and tomorrow there will be two blockhouses, and then the guerrillas and intelligence personnel can enter and leave normally. .

The "China Reserve Coupons" printed by the Eighth Route Army were transported to enemy-occupied areas in such a way, and then transported back or directly distributed to guerrillas in enemy-occupied areas.

Because of this, the strength of the guerrillas in the enemy-occupied areas has increased a lot.

The reason is simple, rich!
What can money not buy?

Even the ammunition is trivial... You may not be able to buy ammunition from the devils, but it is a matter of price to buy it from the puppet army.

If ten thousand is not enough, it will be twenty thousand, and if twenty thousand is not enough, it will be one hundred thousand. There is always a price that will make the puppet army tempted.

As far as the Eighth Route Army is concerned, the money is nothing more than printed paper, and it is bloody money to exchange it for food and equipment.

But now, as soon as the blockhouse is placed in front of the blockhouse, the gap in the blockade is closed again. No matter how many "China Reserve Coupons" are printed, it will be a piece of waste paper if they cannot be transported.

Wang Xuexin was silent for a while, then said: "In this case, we should use incendiary bombs!"

"Incendiary bomb?" Wu Jin looked at Wang Xuexin suspiciously: "But the devil's bunker is made of stone and cement, can incendiary bombs be useful?"

Zhang Wanhe understood, and said, "It's not that the incendiary bomb can burn through the bunker, but that the fire of the incendiary bomb will spread!"

Zhang Wanhe is an old military engineer. He has seen the devil's incendiary bombs, so he knows what's going on.

"That's right!" Su Xin nodded and said, "The devils have used incendiary bombs in Chongqing. Even if the incendiary bomb explodes outside the air-raid shelter, the fire will splash tens of meters into the cave, and even ignite many combustible materials. Seriously, it causes hypoxia in the cave. If it is used in a bunker..."

After a pause, Su Xin continued: "In order to increase the shooting area of ​​the devil's bunker, most of the perforations are small inside and big outside. With such a perforation, it is indeed difficult for rockets to penetrate the bunker, but if it is liquid Gasoline can easily be sprayed into the bunker and burned inside!"

Devils usually use incendiary bombs in Chongqing because there are a large number of wooden houses in Chongqing, and incendiary bombing will cause fires and cause as much damage as possible.

When Su Xin talked about these things, there was still fear in his eyes, as if he had passed by himself.

Wang Xuexin nodded, these are exactly what he wanted to say.

Not to mention other things, even if the gasoline did not splash into the bunker and cause a fire, this thing would continue to burn at the perforation until it burned out.

When the flames were burning, it was difficult for enemy shooters to observe targets outside the perforations, and the Eighth Route Army could take advantage of this time to approach the bunkers and throw grenades.

But Wang Xuexin is not thinking of simple gasoline bombs.

Petrol bombs might work, and the devils are using simple petrol bombs at this time.

But Wang Xuexin felt that it was not cruel enough...Ordinary gasoline is liquid, and the splash stroke is too short to stick to the target and burn, and the burning time is short, the temperature is low, and the lethality is insufficient, etc.

We are modern people, why not change it into viscous napalm?
Although this thing is banned in modern times, it is not banned in this period!
Treat devils as cruelly as you want!
Producing napalm is actually not difficult.

When the Yankees first invented it, they added natural rubber, the so-called "sticky agent", to gasoline.

But rubber is an important strategic material, which is very expensive in wartime.

Rubber is needed to make airplanes, warships, tanks, cars, etc... A tank needs about half a ton of rubber, a heavy bomber needs a ton, and each warship needs more than [-] rubber parts. In addition, there are tires, wires and more.

The Eighth Route Army was short of rubber, so of course it was impossible to use natural rubber to produce napalm bombs.

As for that replacement...

Wang Xuexin was worried at this time, he didn't know what the substitute was, and he didn't know what to do!
At this time, the system jumped out, and it made a "ding" sound: "It is detected that the host needs the napalm formula, do you want to buy it?"

A look at the price, 200 million.

During this period of time, Wang Xuexin invented things and bombed planes. This is more than 2000 million. What is 200 million?

So I bought it without frowning.

Then the recipe came to mind, a naphthene and palmitic acid.

Then there are detailed instructions:
Naphthenes exist in high-boiling petroleum fractions, that is, they can be produced with petroleum... The Eighth Route Army has petroleum, and there is no place to use it, so of course it is not a problem.

This thing is mainly used to increase the temperature of the fuel, which contains high heat and will emit a lot of heat when it is burned. It is no wonder that napalm bombs can burn through people as long as they splash a little.

The real viscous agent is palmitic acid, its other name is "palmitic acid", which can be separated by hydrolysis of tallow, lard, etc., and can also be oxidized and decomposed by sugar.

Damn, this is a little troublesome.

Although animal fat is available, where can we find so many cattle, sheep and pigs in these difficult times?Or sugar is easier.
