Volume 1 Turbulent Times Chapter 221 Hell

In Fengtian in December, it was already snowing heavily, and in this case, both sides could not stay on the platform for too long. After a few brief remarks, Zhang Zuolin suggested going back to his Grand Marshal's Mansion first, and had prepared a banquet to welcome Chen Ju and others.

But unexpectedly, Chen Jun smiled and refused, because he had to supervise the unloading of the "cargo" and ensure that everything was completely safe to be relieved.

"I would like to forgive Yu Shuai. Chen is responsible for his duties. After the resettlement is completed, he will go to Yu Shuai's mansion to apologize."

Zhang Zuolin was not angry, but on the contrary, he suddenly became curious, especially thinking about what Yang Du said to him.

"It's okay, I wonder if Lao Zhang can help?"

"This..." Chen Ju agreed after hesitation. After all, Zhang Zuolin's strong support is needed on the Fengtian front line, and this cannot be avoided. Fang Zida also instructed him to establish a good relationship with Zhang Zuolin, and Zhang Zuolin's care will be much smoother.

However, although Chen Feng agreed verbally, his steps did not move, but instead turned his attention to Yang Du.

Yang Du, who knew the inside story, immediately understood and quietly said a few words in Zhang Zuolin's ear. Zhang Zuolin laughed and, in addition to leaving two absolutely reliable personal guards, he asked all his soldiers to withdraw from the station and left them to He Yingqin to be on the charge of the guard.

Yang Du had already arranged the place where the rocket launcher was temporarily placed. It was about ten miles away from the suburbs of Fengtian. There was a half-abandoned barracks left by the troops stationed in the Qing Dynasty. Although the facilities were not very good and the place was broken, it was rare to be remote and safe. In addition, it was cleaned in advance, which was enough to be used.

After spending some effort to pull the "cargo" from the railway station to the place and step into the warehouse for the renovation of the military camp. Zhang Zuolin looked at the soldiers carefully stacked wooden boxes of varying lengths and became more curious about what was in it.

Chen Ju didn't explain. After all the "goods" were unloaded and guards were set up in various parts of the barracks, he personally led the technicians to unbox and install them.

"Is this..." Zhang Zuolin and Yang Du stood aside and watched Chen Ju and the others busy. They took out long and short iron rods and brackets from the wooden box for installation. When the main body of the rocket launcher was gradually installed, he didn't understand what it was. He looked strange in appearance. Several rows of things like clothes rails were vertically facing one direction, fixed on a chassis, and there were wheels under it. It was said that it was a car that was really different, but it was not a car. What was it? Zhang Zuolin looked vertically and didn't understand what the use of this thing was. It was worth keeping it so confidential?

"Xizi, is this a secret weapon? What is it for? It's not that someone is dragging people to rely on these hardcores, right?" Zhang Zuolin finally couldn't help but ask Yang Du curiously.

Yang Du was watching Chen Ju work intently, and suddenly heard Zhang Zuolin ask this and almost laughed out loud.

"How is this possible!" Yang Du said with a smile. There is no need to hide it from Zhang Zuolin at this point. He explained: "Shishuai Yu, this is a kind of cannon!"

"Candao!" Zhang Zuolin suddenly widened his eyes. He looked at it carefully for a few more times, and laughed in a daze: "Haha, fair boy, fair boy, can this be regarded as a cannon? Have you never seen a cannon in my hands for so many years? Is there such a cannon in this world? What about the cannon? How can a cannon without cannons be fired? Could it be that a mechanism below cannons are shot like a slingshot? If so, it would be easier to create a catapult like Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms."

"Don't Yu Shuai believe it?" Yang Du smiled and pointed at the rocket launcher lane: "Don't you believe it. This cannon is much more powerful than an ordinary cannon. Why would Chen Leshu do this?"

After laughing for a while, he saw Yang Du answering very seriously, and watching Chen Ju and others at the scene carefully debugging after the installation was completed. They looked meticulous. Zhang Zuolin was slightly stunned, thinking that this thing really won’t work?

"Awesome? How powerful is it?" Zhang Zuolin asked casually.

"I'm not professional about this. Yu Shuai would like to ask Chen Leshu directly." Yang Du cunningly pushed it to Chen Ju, shrank his hands and stood aside happily and continued to watch them busy.

After more than two hours, all the ten rocket launchers were finally installed and debugged. Chen Feng and his technicians were so hot that they were sweating on their heads. After finishing the work, they took the hot towel and wiped their faces. Then they put on their coats and walked towards Zhang Zuolin and the others.

"Yu Shuai, please find a place, it's best to be a mountain valley without anyone. I have to try this gun first."

"Mr. Leshu. Is this really a cannon?" After hearing what Chen Ju said, Zhang Zuolin was skeptical, and he should not mention how many questions there were in his heart.

"Of course, this is a new type of cannon." Chen Feng looked back at the ten rocket launchers with a dark blue metallic luster, and he was full of pride.

"How to shoot this cannon? Xizi just said that it was much more powerful than ordinary cannons. Is it true? You won't joke about me, Lao Zhang, right?"

"Of course it's true. As for power, hehe, hearing is false and seeing is true. Then you will know Yu Shuai."

Chen Ju's promise made Zhang Zuolin believe it a little, but his suspicion still had not disappeared. However, he still agreed to Chen Ju's request, and after a moment of thinking, he thought of a place not far from here to meet the other party's request.

Seeing that it was still early, Chen Feng decided to try it out now. Since the climate in the north is different from that in the south, he must shoot it in real time to ensure the stability of the rocket launcher. If there are any differences, it can be adjusted in time.

Then, ten cars pulled the rocket launcher out of the military camp, and soon arrived at the mountain nest that Zhang Zuolin mentioned. This place was surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a valley in the middle, and there was no one around a radius of about ten miles. It was a good place to test artillery.

After choosing a suitable location, Chen Ju arranged the cannon cart and asked his subordinates to take out the coach's ammunition for test firing. Zhang Zuolin stared at the dozens of strange shells mounted on the rocket launcher truck flew out in an instant and landed a few miles away. Although it did not explode because of the coach's ammunition, the snow mud rose up in the distance, which surprised and happy.

"Mom, what a bastard, good guy!" Only then did Zhang Zuolin realize how powerful this thing is. Such a thing is equivalent to the volley of the entire artillery group in one breath, and Chen Ju brought a total of ten aircraft. Doesn't this mean that there are ten artillery groups in an instant?

Ten artillery regiments! Zhang Zuolin's army only has two artillery regiments, and the calibers equipped with these two artillery regiments are different. In addition, the quality of the gunners is uneven, even if they are volleys, they may not be able to achieve this effect. Zhang Zuolin was excited and did not know that the shells of this rocket launcher were completely different from ordinary artillery. If he saw the scene of real live-fire shooting with his own eyes, he would probably be so shocked that his eyes would fall out. But even so, he was happy and rubbed his hands straight. His mouth was so slapping that he never stopped.

"It's enough for a little Japanese to have a drink! Little Japanese, little Japanese, Lao Zhang's chance to take revenge has come!"

Since the war started, Zhang Zuolin's troops suffered heavy losses. Although some new recruits were added, the veterans were almost mostly injured on the front line. This was a serious injury to the 27th Army. If the General Staff had not sent troops to support them, Zhang Zuolin would have been unable to support them. Looking at the casualties reported below, Zhang Zuolin wished that he could eat all these Japanese alive. He was so angry that he now hated the Japanese to the core.

Having seen the power of the rocket launcher with his own eyes, Zhang Zuolin saw hope of turning over, and he understood the real reason why Chen Ju kept it so confidential. Although Zhang Zuolin was a bandit, his intelligence was also extremely smart. After returning to the barracks from the test launch site, he issued a series of orders, mobilizing his own guard to set up a cordon outside He Yingqin's cordon to prevent the news from leaking. Moreover, except for the parties involved, even a few old brothers did not disclose this matter, and still pretended to be as clear as usual, waiting for the time to show their power.

Two days later, according to the frontline battle report, Chen Feng and Zhang Zuolin decided to start using rocket launchers to cover and strike Japan. In the darkness, rocket launchers covered with oil cloth quietly arrived at the front line under the escort of the troops. Unconsciously, several launch points were set up not far from the Buyun Mountain position.

When the sun gradually rises, the war on this day will begin again. Today, the 20th Division of the Japanese Army was the main attack on Buyunshan position. As usual, the 20th Division began to assemble five miles in front of the Buyunshan position and was preparing to launch an offensive in the form of small teams and squadrons attacking one after another.

After many days of fighting, like the Chinese team, the Japanese side gradually became familiar with the enemy's fighting methods. Although the Chinese team made many preparations and arrangements in front of the position and had machine gun firepower no less than the Japanese army, the mortars of the Chinese team made the Japanese commander a headache, but the range was farther than that of the Japanese army. Therefore, after a period of battle, the Japanese army also discovered this. In order to facilitate command and alternate attacks, the Japanese army gradually moved the assembly point forward and placed it at this position.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the 20th Division had assembled, and the soldiers who were in the first attack mission were preparing for the pre-war preparations and ready to attack at any time. Just as the commander was about to give orders, he suddenly heard a dull sound from the Buyun Mountain position, and then countless things with flames at the tail flew towards them with a scream that cut through the sky.
