Where is the explosion coming from?

This is of course thanks to Fade Chen and the others.

They rushed all the way to the depths of the Japanese army. During the period, they kept conveying wrong orders, and the Japanese army who was at a loss did not recognize them.

They quickly ran to the artillery station. The artillery wing did not receive any orders, so they stood by the artillery, put the shells that had been opened, and were ready to fight at any time.

Fade Chen saw that the guards were there, so they bypassed the artillery, and 300 meters behind was the place where the shells were piled up. The shells were packed in boxes, and the boxes were stacked together.This is right at the core of the Japanese army camp, so there are no soldiers guarding it, and the Japanese army is also afraid that the artillery shells will accidentally explode and kill their own people, so there is no one within 300 meters of the place where the artillery shells are fired (this is also a bloody lesson learned in North Korea, The carrier-based aircraft on the Beijing ship detonated the ammunition depot of the Japanese army, causing a large number of casualties).

According to the operating procedures, there must be a certain distance between the shells. The purpose is to prevent one shell from detonating other shells. However, for the convenience of use, the distance between the shells is far smaller than the safe distance.

Fade Chen looked at those cannonballs, and thought of a way in his mind - detonate these cannonballs!

But this is easier said than done. There are insurances on the shells. If the insurance is not released, the fuze of the shells will not detonate the explosives in the shell. Even if the insurance is released, the shells can explode smoothly. With the explosive power of dozens of shells, it is impossible for the person who detonated the shells to have time to escape to a safe area.

Fade Chen called two soldiers to move a cannonball out of the box, then Fade Chen released the safety on the fuze of one cannonball, and then asked someone to move the cannonball to the front of the box where the shells were piled up. The warhead is aimed at the box.

Chen Fei knew that the 75mm caliber shells used by the Japanese army were fixed-mounted, that is, the propellant and the projectile were installed together to ensure the rate of fire. It was generally used for shells with a diameter of less than 105 mm.When firing, the shell is directly loaded into the medicine chamber, and the bullet part of the projectile body is embedded in the slope chamber. The medicine chamber and the slope chamber are both artillery structures. The so-called "medicine chamber" is the part on the barrel of the artillery that ensures the combustion of the propellant , "Slope chamber" is the place where the chamber and the rifle are connected, and the projectile body is embedded in the rifle at this position.

When firing, the firing pin on the artillery hits a certain part on the barrel filled with propellant. This part is the primer. The primer is generally a relatively flammable compound. After the primer is hit and burned, the propellant is ignited and fired. The charge explodes violently, and the gas produced pushes the shell out of the barrel.

Fade Chen turned around and asked, "Which one of you has cigarettes?"

A soldier hurriedly took out a foreign cigarette, which was very similar to the cigarettes of later generations. Fade Chen took it and said, "You all go to the back and wait, at least 200 meters away."

Fade Chen waited until everyone retreated 200 meters away, lit the foreign cigarette, and put it tightly against the position of the primer of the shell, then retreated 200 meters away, picked up a Muramasa 22-year-style Rifle, aimed at the point of fire in the dark.

Many soldiers of the Qing army didn't know what Fade Chen was going to do. To them, the flames were just hair-like highlights.

Fade Chen raised his gun and fired the first shot at the bright spot, but there was no change in the bright spot. Fade Chen took a deep breath and fired the second shot, but there was still no change.If the tails of these bullets are coated with chemical substances, such as phosphorus and magnesium, when the bullets are fired, the phosphorus or magnesium will burn, making the bullets emit green or white light, so that Fade Chen can know the trajectory of the bullets, and he can correct them. Shooting, unfortunately, there are no such things on the bullet, so Chen Fei can only rely on his own feeling to correct the position of the next shot.

Sometimes, people's feelings can surpass many sophisticated instruments, and maybe one day science can perfectly explain this phenomenon.At the fifth shot, the bright spot went out all of a sudden, and then, a dazzling light came, the primer of the shell was hit by Fade Chen's bullet, the propellant in the shell was ignited, and the shell suddenly was pushed out.

The cannonball hit the pile of shells heavily, and the shell exploded violently, causing a terrible martyrdom. The entire pile of shells was detonated, and the huge flame lit up the entire night sky like gorgeous fireworks!

All the soldiers of the Qing army looked at Fade Chen with the eyes of gods. Only Fade Chen felt lucky. If the Japanese army added another shell to the shell, the explosion would not have happened.When the shell is in the barrel, it must rotate at a high speed, and the rotation safety will only be opened at this time.

The Artillery Wing felt that something was wrong when they heard Fade Chen's gunshots, but they didn't think much about it. They didn't panic until they heard the explosion. Their first reaction was that the place where the artillery shells were fired was attacked by the Qing army. You know The place where the shells are stored is the core of the entire barracks, how could the Qing army infiltrate there without anyone noticing!

The Qing army at the gate of the camp heard the explosion, and their morale was greatly lifted!A whistle chief shouted loudly: "Shuai Lin uses his troops like a god, and our reinforcements have already entered the camp of the Japanese slaves!"

Masao Kawako, the commander of the Japanese army, could not know the situation of the entire battlefield, so he did not know that the person who launched the attack was just a small unit of the Qing army. He heard an explosion in the core area of ​​the barracks, and thought that the Qing army had already invaded from other directions. In this way, he was surrounded by the Qing army. The moment he hesitated whether to continue to attack or retreat, another change occurred on the battlefield.

The soldiers of the Qing army did not have cold weapons for close combat. They watched the Japanese brutally slaughter their compatriots, their eyes were red, and one soldier shot at the Japanese soldier in front of him.

At this time, the two sides have already fought together. You have me, and I have you. If you shoot, you can easily hit your own people. After the bullet pierced through the Japanese soldier, it hit another Qing soldier. When the others saw it, they followed suit. The battlefield was chaotic, but the Qing army had the upper hand in numbers. In this way, the Qing army regained its advantage on the battlefield.

Faced with such a situation, Masao Chuangu immediately made a judgment: the Qing army had already attacked from the east, and they must have entered the barracks from the east, so we must retreat to the south!So he ordered a retreat to the south.

As I said before, many Japanese soldiers were fooled by Fade Chen and the others to go south. When Masao Chuangu withdrew, he happened to meet them, and the group followed Masao Chuangu to the south.

Masao Chuangu withdrew like this, but Nogi Nozomi couldn't bear it anymore, because a big opening was opened in the north of the barracks, and the Qing army attacked to the east according to the original plan to meet the Qing army that was originally on the east side, and soon the Qing army They attacked the Japanese camp from two directions.

When Nogi Xidian heard the report, the Japanese army in the north withdrew to the south, and the Qing army also broke through in the east. The entire barracks was already in jeopardy and had to be ordered to retreat!

The Japanese army retreated more than ten kilometers. Although the Qing army captured the Japanese camp, the battle loss ratio of the two sides was close to 1:1, and the Qing army won a miserable victory.

At dawn, the battle was over. Lin Yuan inspected the Qing army, and suddenly saw two groups of Qing troops, each holding a weapon, pointing their guns at each other!
