The War of Resistance

Shang Zhen and Wang Laomao have discovered the difference in the newly captured grenade.

As previously described, the Japanese grenades were shaped like the goblets that Westerners use to drink red wine.

The cup holder is the base or stepping board of the grenade, the thin rod above is the grip, and the tube above is the barrel.

To say that this grenade tube is a bit larger and taller than the original one, the tube is also a bit thicker, and the weight of it is also different.

Shang Zhen just weighed it and discovered that the grenade was four or five kilograms heavier than what they had originally seized.

So, the question is, why is this grenade so different from the original one?

Shang Zhen usually plays with grenade launchers. Of course, when it comes to using grenade launchers to fire grenades or grenades, he can't compare to Qiao Xiong, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand.

He subconsciously looked at the scale on the grenade again, and saw that there were more scales on it than on the original grenade.

What kind of thing is that scale? That is the yardstick for the grenade to shoot far and close. The grenade is a light mortar, but after all, it does not have a sight on the mortar.

So all these discoveries point to one thing, that is, the Japanese grenade barrel is a new type. Since the barrel is lengthened, it can only mean that its effective range has become longer.

Why did Shang Zhen let Qiao Xiong, He Xiangcai and Fan Tuantuan rush forward with Hou Wangshan? It was not only because Qiao Xiong was the most accurate with the grenade, but also because they had already studied the grenade used by Qiao Xiong. Thoroughly.

The grenade can shoot grenades or grenades 140 to 50 meters away, but it is basically impossible to shoot farther, or it is inaccurate because it cannot be controlled.

This is like a rifle with an effective range of four to five hundred meters. Can the bullet fly to one thousand meters? Some guns can, but when the bullet actually flies five to six hundred meters away, it will no longer know how to deviate. Where did it go.

So when formulating the combat plan, Yao Shangzhen wanted Qiao Xiong to use a grenade to deal with the Japanese firepower.

Of course, Shang Zhen didn't know that the Japanese army used a bald mountain as a firepower point when they passed the mountains behind them, but now he knew.

And how far is that bald mountain from them? Visual estimation is about 400 meters.

Because of the distance, Qiao Xiong, He Xiangcai, Fan Tuantuan are still moving forward, otherwise the grenade will not be able to hit them.

Well, now that they have newly captured a grenade with a longer range, there is no need to move forward. If they can blow up the Japanese light and heavy machine guns on the bald mountain with a small cannon, then they will have another bright future. Village?

"There, be careful." Shang Zhen took the grenade and ran to a dirt bag on the edge of the woods.

This is the benefit of curved weapons. The earthbag in front is a natural bunker. The grenade flies out from behind the earthbag in an arc and bombs the target in front. The opponent's heavy machine gun, which is a direct weapon, is naturally destroyed because the bullet cannot turn. The dirtbag in front of me was caught.

As for Shang Zhen telling him to be on alert, it was simply because the Japanese troops were chasing him from behind. Although they didn’t know how far away the other party was from them, as long as the other party showed up on the ridge behind them, they would be able to intercept them from behind. There are pursuers, but it is still a dead end for them!

It's just that the battle is like this, but they can only deal with the Japanese heavy machine gun position in front first.

Now that Shang Zhen and the others are not here with Qiao Xiong, who is the best at using the grenade, then the job of using the best grenade falls on Shang Zhen.

But at this time, the veterans saw Shang Zhen poke the grenade on the ground but it stopped moving. Instead, they looked at the grenade.

"Fight! Why don't you fight?" Hu Zhuzhu, who was lying behind Shang Zhen, said anxiously.

Shang Zhen ran behind the dirt bag and squatted down. Next to him was Mr. Wang, who was holding a bullet box for him.

Originally, Mr. Wang was a little discouraged when he saw that they were in a desperate situation. Originally, he wanted to suggest to Shang Zhen that he might as well fight the Japanese! And this is also the typical bachelor character of the Northeastern people. Seeing that there is no way to survive, they naturally have to fight before dying. Kill one to earn enough to kill two and earn one.

But he also understood that now that he was the deputy company commander, he could no longer talk nonsense. How could he say depressing words first while the soldiers were still clamoring to kill the enemy.

And just now he saw that Shang Zhen had seized the Japanese army's new grenade launcher, and he figured it out. The weapon made in Japan is more powerful than the one made in China. It can hit farther and destroy the one in front of it with one shot. Heavy machine gun fire, isn't this the only way to survive?

Therefore, he, Old Uncle Wang, came to work as an ammunition hand for Shang Zhen himself. That was probably this time. It turned out that Shang Zhen did not receive such treatment!

But now he saw that Shang Zhen was just looking at the grenade barrel without stuffing a grenade into it, and he became anxious.

Because he was too anxious, even Hu Zhuzhu was too lazy to pay attention to him.

"Quick, can you see the flowers without doing anything?" Wang Laomao said angrily.

At this time, he heard Shang Zhen say "hmm" and stretched out his hand towards him, asking for a grenade from him.

"Oh, let me do it! Hold up that little cannon!" At this time, Mr. Wang also thought about it. Isn't this grenade used differently from the original one?

He didn't know at this moment that if he really asked like this, Shang Zhen would definitely reply to him, "That's not good." It turns out that the new grenade launcher of the Japanese army is different from the original one!

The Japanese grenade is light and easy to use, but the adjustment of the shooting range is not achieved through the elevation angle of the grenade.

The old grenade barrel has a vent hole, and the range can be adjusted by the amount of vent.

The less gas is released, the more gas remains inside the barrel, and the force acting on the grenade will naturally shoot the grenade farther.

On the contrary, if more gas is released, the energy inside will be smaller, and the grenade fired will naturally become closer.

Shang Zhen and the others had already figured out the firing principle of the old grenade, but he didn't know what the firing principle of the new grenade was. The details of the external settings were also different from the old grenade.

But for him now, it is already a duck to fight. You have to fight even if you don't understand. Fighting will have a glimmer of hope. If you don't fight, you will really be surrounded by the Japanese army.

Mr. Wang stuffed the grenade through the mouth of the barrel. Shang Zhen stopped thinking. As soon as he pulled the trigger at the back, he heard a "boom" and the grenade was shot out.

There was no surprise when it was fired. There was a test firing of the old-fashioned grenade. Shang Zhen and the others watched eagerly, and then they saw a cloud of dust exploding in the open field in front of them.

It doesn't matter how powerful a grenade is, what matters is the point of impact!

But now when I look at the impact point, I feel both happy and worried.

Hi, this grenade indeed hits farther than the original old grenade.

Worry, the impact point of the bullet was right between them and the bare mountain. It was too close. No, the range needs to be adjusted!

This time, there was no need for Mr. Wang to urge him. Shang Zhen started to twist a knob on the back of the grenade. He didn't know how to use it, so he just kept it covered!

For Japanese veterans who are skilled in using grenades, they can shoot a grenade in two or three seconds.

Shang Zhen didn't have the time, but he was able to knock one out in just a few seconds.

Shang Zhen fired four grenades one after another, and the fourth one finally landed at the foot of the bald mountain.

"One more shot." Shang Zhen said through gritted teeth. He felt that the fifth grenade should be able to hit the target.

And it must be hit, because there are only two grenades left in the magazine.

They didn't know how many grenades the Japanese army could hold in this box, but they knew that they were captured grenades that the Japanese army had used before! What they are using now are leftovers from other people's use.

Mr. Wang stuffed the grenade in his hand into the barrel of the cannon, but at this moment everyone heard a "boom" in front of them, and then they saw smoke and dust rising from the explosion on the bald mountain!

"Oops, hit!" Hu Zhuzhu yelled from behind.

But Mr. Wang was in a daze because he was still holding the grenade in his hand. How could it be that they had fired it before it was put into the barrel.

"Are you all stunned? Run back!" Shang Zhen shouted and jumped up, not forgetting the grenade in his hand.

Others couldn't understand it, but Shang Zhen could.

He hadn't fired his fifth grenade yet, but the Japanese heavy machine gun was blown up. It was Qiao Xiong and the others who blew it up!

To say that the grenade at his end worked, it was to attract the firepower of the Japanese army. The smoke and dust on the mound in front of him has not yet cleared. It was fired by the heavy machine gun of the Japanese army.
