Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Time goes back to fifteen minutes ago, the transport aircraft formation of the 1st Marine Brigade.

After learning that his deputy brigade commander had risked his life to lead the team to blindly land at high altitude, Li Yunlong in the cockpit of the pilot plane suddenly changed his face and could no longer maintain his original calmness.

At the critical time when the entire formation was about to miss the gap in the cloud layer, he immediately turned on the communication system in the plane and ordered his guards at a rapid speed:

"Duan Peng, take your exclusive weapons and jump quickly!"

"From now on, you are the guard of Deputy Brigade Commander Xing for the time being, and you must protect him! Don't worry about my safety, I still have Heshang and Huzi by my side."

The sudden temporary arrangement and the news that Deputy Brigade Commander Xing took the lead made Duan Peng feel a little unprepared.

However, it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. He walked towards the door of the middle and rear section of the transport plane without any hesitation, and he looked ready for battle.

"Received! Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

As Duan Peng received the order, several comrades beside him stood up tacitly and urgently assisted him in completing the last preparation before departure.

Before the indicator light turned green, the monk said seriously:

"We have never practiced blind landing at high altitude before, so don't try to show off. If an accident really happens, remember to throw away the equipment box."

"Weapons can be rebuilt if they are gone, but there is only one life."

"After landing, all actions should be based on the mission, and the personal safety of Deputy Brigade Commander Xing should be prioritized. Okay, let's go, we'll see you later!"

The caring advice of his comrades made Duan Peng more confident.

He stood at the door of the cabin and stared at the bottom, and jumped at the moment when the transport plane passed through the gap in the cloud.

It is worth mentioning that since the weight of special weapons is far more than ordinary paratrooper equipment. Therefore, the Eighth Route Army Logistics Department specially prepared a customized parachute for him in this operation.

The load-bearing capacity of this parachute is almost twice that of ordinary military parachutes.

Advanced and bold design concepts, coupled with leading manufacturing technology, enable the parachute to effectively slow down the descent even in bad weather.

In general, its actual combat performance is very impressive, and its comprehensive performance is by no means comparable to the standard equipment of the major participating countries.

······

After a tense and exciting free fall, and a dangerous and professional mountain parachute, guard Duan Peng finally arrived at the mission area without any danger.

Unlike Xing Zhiguo, who is over 30 years old, this agile young man who has practiced martial arts for many years was not injured during the airborne process.

After landing in a standard tactical posture, he first observed the surrounding environment and terrain while burying his customized parachute on the spot.

Then he unloaded the special weapons and equipment box behind him and began to check them one by one.

"Safety device, functioning normally."

"Igniter and nozzle, intact."

"Fuel bottle and high-pressure gas cylinder, no obvious signs of collision, perfect!"

After repeatedly confirming the integrity and functionality of the three steel tanks, two large and one small, Duan Peng quickly completed the assembly work according to the connection steps in the manual.

Soon, a weapon that looked like firefighting equipment made its debut.

That's right!

The special weapon Duan Peng was carrying behind him was the flamethrower that would later grill Japanese pork belly on the Pacific battlefield, fry German elite troops on the East and West fronts in Europe, and even dominate the StarCraft.

Theoretically, this brutal individual lethal weapon is not suitable for airborne troops.

After all, this thing has certain risks. Once it is improperly stored or operated, it will explode in a closed and narrow cabin, and the entire platoon of soldiers will be buried in the sea of ​​fire.

However, there are always more solutions than difficulties.

As early as two years ago in the Battle of Belgium, the designers of Desan had overcome many difficulties and successfully equipped their own airborne soldiers with flamethrowers.

Adhering to the principle that acquaintances and tropical rainforests are more suitable, Huanghe was naturally unwilling to lag behind.

In the preparation stage of this operation, he deliberately transferred some personnel from the third department of the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau to successfully complete the research and development and testing work.

······

Just after assembling the flamethrower, a fierce burst of gunfire suddenly came from the northeast.

Seeing this, Duan Peng carried the equipment with a total weight of 16 kilograms without saying a word, and then ran towards the battle zone not far away.

After reaching the commanding heights of the target area, he keenly discovered that the Japanese had no rules for arranging troops. In a sense, this group of enemies is almost the same as Guosu's third-rate troops.

Seeing through the current situation at a glance, he made the best solution in the shortest time: sneak up and go around the side alone.

Facts have proved that the military literacy of the Japanese Marine Corps is really not very good. With the cover of gunfire and explosions, Duan Peng quickly came to the flank of the Japanese attack direction.

"Click."

"Puff."

He opened all the safety, pulled the trigger of the igniter with his left hand, and a wisp of flame immediately emerged from the nozzle of the flamethrower.

His right hand then pulled the trigger of the rear grip, and the napalm in the fuel bottle was immediately sprayed out under the action of high-pressure gas, and was ignited into a columnar fire dragon.

"Ah!"

"Baga!"

In an instant, the Japanese offensive front line turned into a sea of ​​fire, and exclamations and curses were endless.

The Japanese Marines, who originally wanted to charge with bayonets with their numerical advantage, turned into familiar faces under the hot and sticky flames of thousands of degrees.

These familiar faces were like headless flies, running around in panic.

Some lucky ones even pulled their friendly troops around them and embarked on a shortcut to meet the locusts of all generations.

The little Japanese who were not yet dead let out a miserable wail.

However, the survivors at this time had no time to care about their colleagues. They hid behind natural shelters as much as possible and used their lifelong knowledge to search for attackers.

"Quick! Find the flamethrower quickly!"

"If we can't kill him in time, our team will be wiped out!"

It's a pity that compared to ordinary guns that can only attack in a straight line, flamethrowers can cover trenches, bunkers, and even tunnels and caves.

Even if they hid behind natural shelters, the Japanese could not avoid the fate of being swallowed by the fire dragon.

Perhaps it was the blessing of Amaterasu that the Marine Corps finally found the enemy's location at the cost of half of its casualties.

A moment later, several rifles, two submachine guns and a light machine gun opened fire at the same time, shooting hateful bullets at the source of the fire dragon.

Faced with such exaggerated fire suppression, Duan Peng, adhering to the principle of not suffering a loss in front of him, decisively retreated to the pre-prepared bunker.

However, there are unexpected events, and even if his reaction speed is fast, it is still difficult to avoid the stray bullets flying around.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After a burst of metal collision, Duan Peng's left leg was hit by a bullet from a submachine gun, and the blood from the wound quickly dyed his trouser legs red.

The situation of the fuel tank was not very good either.

Because of its large target, at least two stray bullets just hit the tank indirectly.

Fortunately, the fuel tank designed by the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau is relatively thick, and with its cylindrical shape, it is easy for small-caliber bullets or fragments to ricochet.

Even if it is penetrated, the ignition point of napalm is higher than that of conventional gasoline.

Unless it is subjected to frontal concentrated fire, it is almost impossible to ignite it under normal conditions. The scene of explosion on the touch of a button in later movies is even more impossible.

After all, Huang He is a professional military expert, and he is not a crazy Japanese. How could he design a suicidal living bomb?

After simply treating the wound on his leg, Duan Peng picked up the flamethrower next to him again, ready to fight the devils to the end.

"Damn it, it seems that Director Huang is right. Flamethrowers are indeed a particularly hateful type of soldier. The 91% death rate and the average battlefield survival time of 12 minutes are really not groundless."

"But to be honest, the charcoal-grilled Japanese pork belly is really enjoyable."

"When the troops gain a foothold in Qiongya, I must sit on the flamethrower tank of the combat mobile company and directly put the nozzle on the faces of the devils to burn them!"

The flamethrower tank mentioned by Duan Peng is naturally from the Weapon Experimental Research Bureau, which is another equipment developed by the three departments at the same time.

In the initial concept, the military experts only dismantled the top heavy machine gun of the Cicada tank and then replaced it with an infantry flamethrower.

However, Huang He and the infantry reorganization experts were not satisfied with the range and capacity of the flamethrower in the subsequent tests.

Receiving the request from their superiors, the comrades simply dismantled the Cicada's 37mm main gun and designed a vehicle-specific flamethrower with a maximum range of 100 meters and continuous arson for one minute.

At this point, the flamethrower Cicada officially debuted.

I can only say that there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

In addition to airborne tanks, self-propelled artillery, self-propelled mortars, self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicles, engineering equipment vehicles and weapon carriers, the Cicada has also been modified into a flamethrower tank.

The 38T of the Eighth Route Army is well deserved. (End of this chapter)
