Li Yunlong was really conflicted now. He wanted to slap himself a few times, but he also wanted to see what the 107 rocket launcher that Yu Ye praised so highly looked like.

Fortunately, Yuye did not give him any chance to hesitate, and strode directly towards the Japanese artillery tower in Erdaohezi.

The shortcut through the mountain path was only about ten miles away. After Yu Ye had walked three miles, Zhao Gang arrived with Zhang Dabiao and all the soldiers from the first battalion.

When the first battalion heard that Minister Yu was going to test out new weapons, everyone in the battalion became very enthusiastic. They had just finished their dinner snack of pork, so they all seemed very energetic.

There is such a lively place to join in, why not go.

When he was less than six miles, or less than three kilometers, away from the Japanese, Yu Ye stopped.

"We're almost there."

"Aha?"

Are we at the location already? This was the first thought in all the soldiers' minds.

Under the gaze of all the soldiers, Yu Ye did something that surprised everyone. He actually led the entire team to retreat!

Oh, not simply retreating, but looking for a launching position with a wider field of view.

After circling around for a few miles, he finally stopped on top of a hill with a relatively gentle slope: "This is it."

"Oh my god, Old Yu, are you serious? I estimate that this branch line is about 5 kilometers away." Li Yunlong raised the telescope and looked at the artillery tower in the distance.

"If not the real thing, then the fake one?" Yu Ye rolled his eyes.

"Why do I feel a little mysterious?"

Yu Ye glanced at Li Yunlong and suddenly seemed to remember something: "Old Li, I heard you have a lot of good wine?"

"Who told you that? It's not true!" Li Yunlong held his wine tightly, not giving Yu Ye any chance to think about it.

"Hahaha, how about this? If one of my two shells hits the artillery tower 5 kilometers away, you won't drink for a month. What do you think?" Yu Ye said as he patted the two shells that the monk had placed on the ground.

"The straight-line distance is more than 5 kilometers, and your gun is just a barrel, without even a sighting device. How can you possibly hit the target?"

"Just tell me if you are willing to make this bet with me. If I miss these two shots, I will buy you two bottles of good wine. What do you think?" Yu Ye did not argue with Li Yunlong and said with a smile.

"Okay, I, Lao Li, make a bet with you."

"Hahaha, fine. Let's see if God is willing to give you wine to drink for a month."

After Yu Ye finished speaking, he squatted down and began to fiddle with the gun barrel that Li Yunlong had just been holding. At the same time, he told Li Yunlong, "If you hit it and lure the Japanese out, you still have to ambush and eat up this group of Japanese."

"Don't worry. Zhang Dabiao, arrange for the first battalion to quickly build a position to ensure that if the Japanese chase us out, we can eat them up in the first place."

"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao adjusted his hat and said seriously.

Yu Ye began to concentrate on the work in his hands. He unscrewed the flashlight, took out four batteries from it, and at the same time took out two pieces of wire from his pocket.

Everyone was confused. What was this going to do?

Yu Ye stuffed the 18.8-kg shell into the single barrel, calculated the angle on the barrel for a long time, and found that it did not work very well, so he decisively pulled the shell out of the barrel.

What is this for?

Is it possible to launch a fire without using a cannon?

Yu Ye found that he had made a mistake, because the gun mount had not been completed, so the shooting parameters that were originally adjusted on the gun mount could not be operated with a single gun barrel.

He simply stopped using the barrel and used the markings and lines on the shell itself to aim.

Yu Ye was seen placing the shell flat on a base built with several stones, and aiming the markings on the shell at the artillery tower 5 kilometers away.

"Old Yu, what are you doing?" Li Yunlong asked.

Yu Ye was concentrating on adjusting the angle of the artillery shell and had no time to pay attention to him.

On a base built with several stones and filled with loess, a 107 rocket launcher with its angle adjusted lay quietly.

"Old Yu, will this thing work without a barrel?" Li Yunlong still didn't quite believe Yu Ye's actions. In his opinion, can something be called a cannon if it doesn't have a barrel?

Yu Ye did not answer him, but said: "The 107mm anti-personnel blasting grenade uses a high-explosive fragmentation warhead and a rocket engine containing a fixed amount of propellant. It uses the principle of vortex to provide power for the shell and increases the stability of the shell through spin.

The lethality of this shell is quite good, but it may not be able to achieve good destructive effects against fortifications such as artillery towers and bunkers.

Just let it go for you guys."

what?

Before everyone could react, Yu Ye connected four batteries in series and then used wires to connect them to the conductive cover and rear centering part of the rocket.

Then he backed away.

Everyone was startled by his action and quickly moved out of the way.

Dozens of seconds later, a strong airflow accompanied by a thick tail flame shot out from the tail of the shell lying on the earth turret.

The shell immediately flew into the air.

It produces violent friction with the air, making a series of piercing whistling sounds.

Li Yunlong was completely stunned when he saw the cannonball rising into the air!

This is really contrary to his understanding of cannons.

Can this gun fly without being fired from the barrel?

What the hell is it like using dry-cell batteries to fire artillery shells?

"Old Li, quickly use your telescope to check the trajectory of this shell?" Yu Ye reminded.

Li Yunlong suddenly woke up from his dream and quickly picked up the telescope hanging around his neck, carefully observing what the artillery tower five kilometers away looked like.

Since it was the middle of the night, the rocket's tail flame was very obvious in the dark night.

An entire battalion of soldiers, all of them fixed their eyes on this rocket shell, and everyone's gaze was following the movement of this rocket.

The speed of the shell was relatively slow when it first took off into the air, but unexpectedly, it became faster and faster as it flew further.

Old Li began to feel nervous. Could it be that this shell without even a barrel could really hit the artillery tower 5 kilometers away?

Is it really necessary for me to not drink alcohol for the next month?

Li Yunlong's heart was completely gripped.
