Chapter 351 Opening of Port (Seventeen)

The grenadier, to put it bluntly, is the poor version of the mortar.

The biggest difference between the two is the range: the mortar is a smoothbore, and the range can reach more than 800 meters.The grenade is rifled, and the accurate range is only 200 meters. If it is farther, the ammunition will float.

Anyone with a bicycle can easily understand the construction of a grenadier, because the appearance of the portable pump and the grenade are almost identical.

The appearance is the same, but the function is different.The cylinder in the first half of the grenade is used to charge the powder, and the screw in the second half is used to adjust the length of the barrel.Because the ammunition fired is very miscellaneous, even grenades, so the grenade can't change the range by adjusting the ammunition.

At this time, the length of the launch tube can only be changed by adjusting the screw: the launch tube becomes longer, hits far, shortens, and hits closer.

In short, this simple mortar weighing only 5 catties, or primitive grenade, is a very simple portable weapon; soldiers must be very skilled in "hand feel" if they want to use it to hit the target.

Fortunately, today are all professionals: the army has also specially organized personnel training for this hard-won high-tech surface destruction weapon.The reason why as many as five teams were sent this time was for actual combat testing.

So under the command of Squad Leader Wu, the five teams quickly fired the first round of tear gas.

It is different from the standard mortar shells with tail fins that rely on sliding down to fire the primer.The ammunition used by the short, 50mm grenadier is also very crude.

This combination of ancient and modern cylindrical tear gas bombs is unique to a certain force, and it is full of the simple style of the kiln area.

Since no lethality is required, the ammunition case is just a thick layer of iron.The head of this stick does not have a high-grade impact fuze. After being stuffed into the gun barrel by the assistant shooter, the main shooter only needs to point the gun barrel at the enemy with his left hand, and then pull down the launch belt at the tail. up.

The primer struck by the firing pin is quickly detonated, and the shell is pushed out of the barrel.At the same time, the fuse hidden in the shell casing, similar to the wooden handle grenade, was also ignited.Simple ammunition without a touch fuze was not designed to control the detonation time, so the length of the fuse is fixed: 3 seconds to detonate.

In this way, when the shell flies to the top of the target, it is sometimes detonated in advance.But it doesn't matter: after the tear gas bomb is detonated, it will not release steel balls and prefabricated fragments, but will only continue to emit a large amount of smoke under the action of oxidizers and combustion accelerants such as magnesium carbonate.

Five rounds of tear gas accurately hit the opposite target—a target as large as 5 people, and it was impossible not to hit it.

Then Zuo Baoliu got on the road.

When they first saw the smoking pillars flying slowly, Zuo Baoliu and his group of warriors standing in the front row collectively expressed their contempt for this behavior: When can the second kicker be used for weapon fighting? ?If all these things can be successful, then there will be no need for people to die when fighting for water and land in the countryside.

Then the second kicker exploded above Zuo Baoliu's head.

If Zuo Baoliu came from later generations, he would definitely humiliate his opponent now: "It's another fake from Taobao". Because the sound and light effects of firecracker explosions are very poor.Not only is the sound low, but thick smoke is blowing, which looks like a stink bomb flooding the tide.

The next moment, Zuo Baoliu took a deep breath of acrid and stimulating air like thousands of fine needles.After the sound of "boom" in the brain, except for the ears, the other five orifices of Zuo Bao gushed out liquid at the same time: tears flowed from the eyes, saliva came out of the mouth, and the nasal mucus also came out at the same time. Time flowed out.

Zuo Baoliu, who didn't know what happened at all, his brain was down at the moment - the nerve signals frantically coming from all over his body were too fast and too intense, and he couldn't handle it at all.So at this moment, he could only bend down instinctively, and began to cough loudly.

Then he knelt down again.The burning sensation in his lungs and the violent coughing made him paralyzed and unable to see, and he had completely lost his ability to move.

At the same time, the large army wandering in the dense fog of capsaicin also started a triple movement of violent coughing, crying, and kneeling.The warriors didn't react correctly at all, and just knelt in the smoke and continued to cough.

It cannot be blamed on them.Although chili peppers were introduced to Ming Dynasty from Mexico during this period, chili peppers at this time, like corn, were only a few ornamental plants in the gardens of sea merchants, and Ming people had no contact with them at all. Only then began to be eaten by the Chinese as a vegetable.

Fortunately, the base is large, and someone will always be able to react.After going through the initial confusion and panic, soon the well-informed man coughed and shouted: "It's Wolf Smoke, cover your mouth and nose, hide!"

However, the tear gas bomb is useless just by covering the nose and mouth. You have to cover your eyes just like Illidan.So the crowd is still in chaos, and there is a stampede: if they are blind, they can't tell the direction.

Mingren standing on the dirt slope at the entrance of the village was also speechless.Yu Bende and the bastards under him were pushing forward one by one with their necks stretched out and their feet on their feet, as if they were not the ones who planned to run away just now.

"This thing is very wonderful!" After Yu Bende understood the situation, he couldn't help being elated, and he twirled his beard and calmed down again: "It can not only defeat the enemy, but also avoid the burden of execution, it is really a thing that kills two birds with one stone!"

"Hmm..." To be honest, this is the first actual battle of tear gas bombs today, so including the members of the launching team, the intelligence bureau personnel did not expect the scene to turn into this quickly.What supported their confidence before was actually the guns in their hands.

The tenants of the Zuo family are doomed to be unlucky today.In fact, except for those troublemakers who often make parades in later generations, people in other countries will also kneel when they encounter this thing-a little slow reaction will cause a big loss. This is not as simple as cutting onions and getting choked. If you stay longer, many people will be sent to the hospital.

Seeing that the opponent had started to be confused, Squad Leader Wu, who directed the launch, ordered his subordinates to launch two rounds of "two kicks" to test the data in accordance with the requirements of the drill.Subsequent shells are less accurate due to the extended range of nearly 30 meters per round.

But it doesn't matter.The launch team does not need to hit the machine gun nest as accurately as the Japanese army. These second kickers only need to fall within a circle of tens of meters.

The reason why we chose to fight on the dirt slope at the entrance of the village was not because it was convenient to run, but because the terrain was high and it was easy to aim.Another most important point is that today's wind is blowing from behind the slope.

So when the next ten pods fell into the crowd, the smoke obediently enveloped the crowd.

Zuo Baoliu felt like he was going to die.

At this moment, the hoe in his hand has long disappeared, and he is unable to move due to violent coughing.In order not to let himself be choked to death by saliva and snot, he had difficulty breathing and could only kneel on the ground, raised his butt high, and made a kowtow motion of "grabbing his head to his ear".

There was a burning pain in the chest and abdomen, and the throat and eyes seemed to be scratched with a knife, the eyes were already red and swollen, and it was impossible to see, and the clansmen howled in horror, mixed with intensive coughing
Zuo Baoliu felt that he was going to die.

I don't know how long it took, but when he felt a little better, there was a burst of shouting from far and near.The shouts were followed by footsteps, the crackling of sticks into flesh, and screams.

The sound of footsteps soon came to Zuo Baoliu's ears.The next moment, someone stomped on his upturned buttocks, and at the same time he was kicked to the ground, an iron ruler was still slapped on Zuo Baoliu's back. He stabbed his chrysanthemum with a stick. So Zuo Baoliu passed out.

When he woke up, he was already lying on his broken wooden bed.In fact, Zuo Baoliu was lying on the bed, his back was exposed, and there was a bruise on his back.

Seeing the crying woman and baby beside him, it took Zuo Baoliu a long time to regain his senses, and it took him out to figure out what happened after he fell into a coma.

After the large army of the Zuo family was taken care of by the wolf smoke, after a while, the thugs with wet cloths on their muzzles and noses rushed down from the slope, and those white servants led the way.

This gang of white servants was unable to fight properly, but when dealing with the villagers who had lost the ability to fight back, they were all strong and brave.

Then the battle is over.

In this battle, the Zuo family lost a lot.Hundreds of people were unconscious after the incident, and the rest were all wounded. Not only were they beaten by the white servants, but many of them were trampled by their own family members.

Zuo Baoliu was dragged back by his wife with the door panel amidst crying and shouting.Fortunately, he woke up not long after he went back, which made the woman feel relieved - if he died, the woman would have to remarry, and it would be nice if one of the three children could finally become an adult.

After waking up, Zuo Baoliu couldn't care about the severe pain all over his body. He closed his red and swollen eyes tightly, endured the stinging pain in his throat, and told the woman in a hoarse voice: Hurry up and ask for news.

Now that the weapon fight is defeated, the consequences must be borne, Zuo Baoliu is very clear about this.The benefits promised to him by the clan before have all turned into nothingness now. What scares him the most is that he is the tenant of the mulberry garden, and the title deed of the mulberry garden is in the hands of the renter.

To some extent, Zuo Baoliu's behavior is called "eating the inside out".

If the fight with weapons is won, then of course it will be fine, and it is impossible for the renter to do anything to him, a small tenant.However, now that the Zuo family is completely defeated, Zuo Baoliu's protection is gone, maybe people will take him under the knife, even if they use only one method of forcing debts and seizing tenants, Zuo Baoliu will be finished on the spot.

This is what he is most afraid of. In comparison, he has ignored the chrysanthemum and the injury on his back.

Afterwards, while Zuo Baoliu was recovering from his wounds, the news continued to spread back home: the official sentry entered the big house of the Zuo family, the official sentry took away Zuo Hongwu, the official sentry began to confiscate the hidden land, the official sentry began to chase after the owed grain, the old lady of the fourth room Hanged
Just when Zuo Baoliu was terrified, the official came to the door.
