Heavenly Fire Descends
Chapter 536:Heavenly Fire Descends
After recruiting and training a group of technical talents, the weapons and equipment of the "Revolutionary Army" have made great progress.Flaming guns, fort guns, high-horsepower steam engines, and thousand-ton warships all appeared quickly.Classical rockets as a long-range weapon has also developed to the second generation, not only the launch mode from the slide to the directional tube, but also the types of bombs have become diversified.
When Zhou Qingfeng ordered a seafaring brigade to deal with Gaohongzhong, he had a headache on how to break through its strong camp.Gao Hongzhong is a bit like the Xiang Army at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the tactic is "hard, fight", it is still very difficult to break through its defense light heavy guns.
In the face of these difficulties, Zhou Qingfeng's staff team quickly recommended firing rockets at enemy camps at sea, and chose special warheads - ordinary warheads are grenades, and the combat department has been improved from an early pack of explosives to prefabricated fragmentation.The special warhead...
It is arson smoke warhead, which is a small amount of black gunpowder with refined coal tar.
Coal tar is a by-product of coal coking, Song Yingxing does not know what to do, especially like to delve into this toxic and flammable industrial by-product.Before the development of the oil industry, coal tar was an important raw material for the chemical industry.
There are ready-made industrial manuals, and Song Yingxing has manufactured a large number of simple chemical equipment.The equipment of the early industry is actually very simple, and the technical content is really not high.He has extracted much-needed dyes from coal tar, which he has already extracted urgently needed in the textile industry, and now he has simply used its flammable and explosive properties to create arson bombs.
The arson bomb is to soak in coal tar with cotton strips and encapsulated in the warhead.The cotton strips will automatically ignite when they explode and are blown up.A warhead can be lighted hundreds of square meters, and the burning coal tar will also emit strong smoke.
Song Yingxing even used spring steel to create the simplest spring time fuse, pre-timed according to the range before launch, can produce an airburst effect over the target.Although less than 50% of the reliability of this simplest mechanical fuse is low, it can not withstand the impact of shell acceleration, but it can be used on slow-flying rockets.Its appearance doubled the power of the arson bomb.
When two transport barges at sea fired rockets, Gao Hongzhong, who was in his camp, was stunned.As an old-fashioned general of the Ming army, he never thought that he would one day face such a fire attack from the sky.Even if he is now in brainwashing, a moment of intense sense of crisis still allows him to break free of the arms of thought and restore his instincts..., hide!
Gao Hongzhong this turn, immediately led many of his men to hide.The camp was built according to the method of Taisi, and a large number of chest walls were set up inside, and he jumped down from the high watch bucket, and the blink of an eye was shrunk to the back of a chest wall, and then probed out...
From the ship to the shore to the camp, the entire distance is about two kilometers.The gunners in the camp could barely see the contours of the ships on the surface of the sea with the naked eye, and the guns could not control the ships floating on the sea.But the rockets on the two ships can hit the huge "God bless" barracks.
Reconvert the distance by reference height on a fixed scale on the telescope.This is a very simple trigonometric problem.The jewelry craftsmen recruited by the "Revolutionary Army" finally broke through this technical difficulty.The first batch of twelve rockets vacated and flew in the sky for nearly half a minute.
Most of the soldiers and horses in the camp stopped firing, and the gunners looked up at the fast-decided rocket—the reed time fuse, which, by standard, was going to explode at a height of about 20 meters from the ground.But the fuse in a rocket was obviously ahead of schedule, and it exploded at a height of 100 meters.
Then a fire broke out in the sky.The soldiers and horses in the camp were all horrified, their necks were tightened, and their bodies squatted.The rocket above the head burst and dozens of flames dispersed, and drifted down.
Other rockets accelerated and continued to explode along the way.The sound of the thugs of explosions rang out one after another, and the bursting fire was almost all over the camp - the accuracy of the rockets was not high, and the scattering was very serious, but this was nothing for the large camp.Twelve pieces of ammunition to the east and one to the west were all lost.
The bursting fire fell from the sky, and it fell on the ground, and the pungent black smoke came out of the fire.Some soldiers in the camp were curious, and they saw that what fell was like a burning cloth strip, slimy and slimy.The priests who had been transferred to the shaman were alert, and they shouted to extinguish the fire and mobilize the Han slaves.
Hiding behind the chest wall in Gao Hong, witnessed the whole process of rocket attacks, and he felt that this ammunition looked frightening, but it was not good.The falling fire spread throughout the camp, but it did not cause much damage.After all, people can move, and it will certainly not be stupid to stand when you see the fire fall.Occasionally, some places are lit, but tens of thousands of people in the camp, this fire extinguishing speed...
Twelve rounds had just landed here, and the artillery observers on the two ships were staring at the telescope.He corrected the drop point a little, and then shouted, "Strike half a base and shoot quickly."
The two transport barges were a separate rocket artillery company, and one rocket was a class.According to the capacity of the joint distribution, half the base is 30 rounds of ammunition.In order to combat the only simple protection of the central Gaohong, the entire company all use arson bombs.
The rapid firing order is issued, and every ten seconds a rocket is crammed into the guide tube for launch.Because this classical rocket has no recoil, the gun mount rarely shifts during launch, and the firing speed becomes extremely fast.Basically, once the ammunition is plugged in, the fire is ignited, and the click is a bullet to fly into the sky, and then the next one is tucked into the guide.
The rattling rocket kept rising, the smoke track in the sky became intense and dense, and a moment's effort covered the sky for more than half of the sky.Waiting for half the base to finish, 360 rockets poured into the enemy's camp in three minutes.The rocket spins slightly in the sky, flying more than two thousand meters behind a head.
Gao Hongzhong had always stood out from behind the chest wall of hiding, and was ready to show his bravery and bravery.But when he saw the rocket whistling at him, he suddenly retreated from behind the chest wall in a fright.This time he felt a strong anger coming from the void and hitting his brain - the retreating, dead!
Ah . . . !
Gao Hongzhong held his head and shouted, and had to stand up and command his subordinates.And thousands of miles away in Shenyang, sitting in the high hall to approve the reading of Nurhachi is also full of anger, he handcuffed heavy on the table.The table case made of birchwood was immediately broken, and several slaves accompanying the waiter fell silently and died on the spot.
His majesty of the "Pope" felt a little more confusion in his mind, and disturbed him without peace.His mind kept flashing a disorderly battlefield, and the calm mood was instantly angry.He didn’t know where the scene was, but he screamed in his head.
The whole of the true women's brainwashing community heard the Pope's "injunction", and most people are inexplicable.Gao Hongzhong outside the mountain customs knows that this is talking about himself, and he can't stand up to stand up to his opponent and scold: "What is panic, first hide behind the chest wall, and hide behind the chest wall."
Rockets in the sky continued to dive, explode, scatter fire, and fall to the ground, causing one fire point after another.The number of three hundred and sixty rounds was an order of magnitude more than just one, and the bursting fire was instantly covered with a small half of the camp.When the fire is sparse, the soldiers in the camp can also have a place to hide, but this time the dense fire point falls, the soldiers look up at the sky and have nowhere to hide.
A single rocket can blow up at least 50 fires, and 360 rounds are tens of thousands of fires falling in the crackling.The fire that falls on the ground emits pungent and intense smoke; the fire point that falls on the tents and vehicles will burn rapidly; the fire point that falls on people and horses will cause great confusion;
“Fire, fire out!”Gao Hongzhong to see the light to hide at the root is not a thing, he hastily caught a few together to hide the officers out to organize the soldiers to extinguish the fire.A burning cloth fell in front of him, and he took his feet and stepped on it when he was startled.But he stepped on a few times not only did not put out the fire, but his soles burned.
“Oh, you . . .Feeling the pain of the burning soles of the feet was unbearable, Gao Hong's Chinese side knew that the fire was not easy to extinguish.He yelled to take off his official boots, and the redness of the soles of his feet seemed to be blistered, and he shouted to the people around him, "This fire is strange, don't step on it, and you're buried with the earth."
The sudden "fire" has caused a small half of the "God Bless" army's camp to fall into chaos.Shamanic priests by the power of faith continue to drive out the soldiers and puppies to put out the fire, although they can force people to mobilize, but they can not immediately teach the soldiers how to fire the fire - knowledge is not enough!
The fire cannot be extinguished.It can't be poured with water, and it can continue to burn.It has to be buried in the earth.But this day is cold, digging soil is not easy.In addition, there are many flammable materials in the camp, and the fire is instantly expanded under the north wind.
The smoke of the toxic smoke was blowing everywhere, and the soldiers in the tuyere could not only extinguish the fire, but they had to flee themselves.When there were many people who ran away, even the shamanic priest could not control it.
The chaotic mood instantly increased by an order of magnitude, and Nurhachi, who was far away in Shenyang, was not only angry, but also quickly reddish on his face.His face became extremely distorted.
Nurkhach absorbed the spiritual power provided by millions of believers, and he could not tell what part of it was chaos.By virtue of his cultivation, he forced his drive, and cried out in his mind, “Control those slaves.”If you can't control it, kill it.Don't let them scream, shut up."
The power of the pope spread through the void, and the believers throughout Liaodong trembled.In a corner of Shenyang, the simple Ai Rui is praying.Suddenly his body shook, and he looked up slowly at the image of the Virgin in his arms, and whispered in his mouth; “Father in heaven, warn this lost sinner.”He is trying to steal your glory, and he will be turned away.”
The roar of Nurkhach came in the empty air, causing pain in Gao Hongzhong.He had to shout to his guard, "Go and kill those who mess with my army, those who shout, and leave none."
The guard of the war rushed out like a wolf, and any soldier who did not obey the order of the camp was immediately killed.Such a brutal act was immediate, and after killing hundreds of people, Nurhachi, who was far away in Shenyang, felt much better.
On the surface of the sea, the two transport barges that hit half a base stopped shooting.The artillery observer put down the telescope on a specially erected mast and shook his head at the artillery below: "I can't see, there is smoke in the camp opposite."We can get closer and hit the next wave."
The "Revolutionary Army" troops coming out of the mountain customs are rapidly approaching the camp in central Gaohong, and a brigade carried by the convoy on the sea is also laying down a simple trestle bridge to prepare for the release of the troops.
The flat hair was flying everywhere, monitoring the battlefield from the air.From time to time, it falls on Zhou Qingfeng's shoulder to report, “It takes a day for a seagoing vessel to release a brigade.”
"Order the tall cow, and firmly attract the enemy's attention in a day."The Maritime Rocket Artillery is ordered to keep fighting enemy camps and prevent them from building effective defences.”Zhou Qingfeng put down his telescope on the wall of the mountain customs and said coldly: "When the 11th brigade comes ashore, tomorrow will launch a general attack."
