Chapter 129 Misleading
Li Yunlong received two cars of gasoline cans that afternoon, saying they were sent from the arsenal.
When Li Yunlong received the oil can, he was confused and asked the driver: "When did the arsenal prepare the gasoline? I didn't even order gasoline!"
The driver replied: "Captain Li, I don't know the specific situation. The factory director said Xiao Dongbei knows how to use it! I will be responsible for delivering it!"
As he spoke, the driver handed over the bill of lading: "There are twenty barrels in total, please sign this!"
Li Yunlong took the pen, scrawled his name, raised his head and said to the correspondent: "Go and call Xiao Dongbei!"
The correspondent responded and ran towards the seventh company's headquarters.
At this time, Zhao Gang, who happened to be passing by, came up to us in confusion and asked, "Say, Lao Li, our cars are all at the back. Why are you transporting so much gasoline?"
Li Yunlong said "Oh": "How do I know what to do with this thing? Xiao Dongbei made it from the arsenal! I think this guy is becoming more and more unreliable. Isn't it better to use more bullets? Cannonballs are not good? Even hand grenades are not enough.
Okay, can this thing fight Japanese?"
Wang Xuexin arrived at this time. He saw the oil barrels from a distance and knew what was going on. He secretly said that Zhang Wanhe was not slow in his actions. He had packed so many barrels of napalm in just two days.
But if there are enough raw materials for this thing, just add it and stir it. It doesn’t take much time to make dozens of barrels.
It is said that the Americans spent a total of 5 million US dollars to develop this thing. It would be great if the research and development funds could be transferred to their own accounts.
But now, there are only 5 million more military coins in the system... It's sad.
"Regiment leader, political commissar!" Wang Xuexin stepped forward and saluted Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang respectively.
Li Yunlong said "hmm", and while looking at the gasoline barrel, he asked: "Speaking of Xiao Dongbei, which song are you singing? Burning the Vine Armor Soldiers?"
"The leader is awesome!" Wang Xuexin gave a thumbs up: "You can see through it at a glance. Nothing can escape your piercing eyes..."
"Don't do this to me!" Li Yunlong straightened his back: "Even if we are willing to burn the hearts of the vine-armored soldiers, the devils don't wear vine armor! Everyone is carrying this now..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a trigger-pulling gesture, and said, "Can this thing still burn the Japanese?"
Wang Xuexin didn't explain much. He just asked Li Yunlong to wait for a while, and then he went to find some wine bottles and made some cloth belts, and he turned them into Molotov cocktails after a few clicks.
Wang Xuexin carried the bottle and walked further away. He was worried that the fire would accidentally spread to the oil drum.
Then he took out a match, lit it and threw it, and the flame burst into flames...
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang couldn't help being surprised when they saw the ignited fire, and stepped closer to it in unison.
"Don't come close!" Wang Xuexin reminded: "This fire is poisonous!"
"Poisonous?" Li Yunlong was stunned again. Isn't this for evil?
But I like it, the more poisonous the devils are, the better! The devils still use poison gas bombs at every turn, so we are fighting poison with poison.
"Xiao Dongbei!" Zhao Gang watched the flames burning brightly for a long time and asked, "Isn't this gasoline?"
"This is viscous gasoline!" Wang Xuexin explained: "If you get it on, you'll be fine. If you get a little bit of it, you'll lose half your life!"
Li Yunlong looked at the bottle and then at the flames, and asked: "Speaking of Xiao Dongbei, isn't it unnecessary for you to take off your pants and fart? If this can be thrown out and burned to the enemy, I might as well use a grenade to blow the enemy up into the sky.
?”
"Captain!" Wang Xuexin replied: "When a grenade is fired, it explodes for a while and then disappears after a single blast. The Japanese can still use the smoke to charge. Can the incendiary bomb be the same?"
When Li Yunlong heard this, he realized it made sense!
The grenade explodes once, but the fire continues to burn in front. If the Japanese charge towards our position... shouldn't they burn as many as they charge?
Thinking about Li Yunlong, he nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Okay, how many will each of us do?"
"Captain, this is not something you just want to fix!" Wang Xuexin reminded: "This thing looks simple, but it is very dangerous to use. If you accidentally drop it in the trench, it will burn a large area. We have to practice it.
Practice and use again!”
"That's right!" Zhao Gang agreed: "We should strengthen safety awareness and standardize management and usage methods, so as to minimize the risk. Otherwise, we will kill a thousand and injure ourselves eight hundred!"
This aspect is Zhao Gang's strength.
But of course, Zhao Gang’s publicity and organizational learning also require Wang Xuexin to sort out a set of safe usage methods.
For example, when making incendiary bombs, you must use unbroken wine bottles.
Carrying and transporting require the use of cloth strips to separate the bottles, otherwise the collision between the porcelain bottles when climbing high or low will easily cause cracks or even chips.
When bringing it to the position for storage, you should first hide the incendiary bombs in the cat's ear holes and bury them well to avoid affecting the battle or being blown up by enemy artillery fire and ignited.
Before igniting, you need to confirm again whether the bottle is broken.
If it breaks, it can be thrown directly in the direction of the enemy without igniting... In fact, if a wall of fire is blown up in front of the defense line, only a few of them need to ignite it, and the others can be thrown directly without igniting.
Wang Xuexin also made detailed regulations on other precautions, such as urgently wiping your body or even taking off your clothes once your body is stained with sticky gasoline.
After that, it is a matter of intensive study and training with props until each of the soldiers has made these precautions a habit.
Among them, Wang Xuexin also considered a question: If Zhu Ziming is in the team, will he reveal this new equipment to the Japanese so that they can be prepared?
But after thinking about it, Wang Xuexin felt that there was no need to worry about this.
This is not to say that Zhu Ziming will not disclose information. Wang Xuexin just thinks that he will do so.
But even if Zhu Ziming revealed it, the Japanese would probably not be able to prepare.
First of all, after receiving the information, the Japanese would assume that it was a gasoline bomb and underestimate its lethality.
After all, this is something that will only be available next year, and the Japanese themselves are still using a mixture of gasoline and tar.
Although the mixture of gasoline and tar is also viscous, its lethality is far inferior to that of napalm.
So there doesn't seem to be much difference between the Japs getting information and not getting it.
Secondly, this kind of hand-thrown Molotov cocktail is just a piece of equipment popularized by all soldiers. There are also incendiary bombs fired by rocket launchers and 50 cannons with a longer range.
These incendiary bombs can then be used as a secret weapon to implement the principle of confidentiality.
If Zhu Ziming revealed this hand-thrown Molotov cocktail to the Japs, not only would the Japs not be prepared, but it would also mislead the Japs... The Eighth Route Army was only equipped with hand-thrown Molotov cocktails, so it only needed to guard against their Molotov cocktails at close range.
