Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

99 Make Thunder Cannon

On the 29th, Ye Qingshan had almost completed his plan in Jinling City.

At the factory, Ye Qingshan asked his third brother Ye Qinglan to keep an eye on it.

Once Mr. Yan and his team overcome the final manufacturing hurdle, they will begin mass production of rocket launchers.

Taking advantage of this time, Ye Qingshan returned to the base of the 7th Gendarmerie Regiment outside the city.

"Sir!"

Ye Qingshan got out of the car, and Zhou Pingkou, Lu Dahai and others had already lined up to greet him.

"Okay, we're all family, stop doing these useless things.

The main reason I came here this time was to see how your training turned out over the past two days."

Ye Qingshan waved his hand, asked Zhou Pingkou and others to put down their hands, and spoke to them.

"Our training has been completed. All 1,500 men in the regiment have lined up on the drill ground and are ready to be inspected by the commander."

Zhou Pingkou said confidently.

"Well, let's go to the playground and take a look."

Boom!

As a result, Ye Qingshan had just taken two steps when he heard a huge explosion coming from the north.

"What's going on? Where did the explosion come from?"

Ye Qingshan looked to the north. The explosion didn't sound very far away.

“This…don’t worry about him.

It was Brother Zheng who led his men to the north to test the flying thunder cannon you told him about last time."

Zhou Pingkou said somewhat embarrassedly.

When Ye Qingshan heard this, he immediately became alert.

"Oh? How's Zheng Quezi's experiment going?"

At the beginning, Ye Qingshan told Zheng Quezi about the general production method of the thunder cannon, which was indeed very simple.

After hearing this, Zheng Quezi immediately became interested.

After they retreated to the vicinity of Taiping Gate, Zheng Quezi finally found an opportunity and tried to make the flying thunder cannon that Ye Qingshan had mentioned.

The army has explosive packs and propellants.

Zheng Guizi could also buy some gasoline barrels in Jinling City by spending money.

So, these few days, Zheng Quezi took a few soldiers to the wasteland in the north to try to make flying thunder cannons.

Ye Qingshan did not put too much effort into the Flying Thunder Cannon.

In Ye Qingshan's opinion, this flying thunder cannon has great limitations.

In an emergency, it can be used to obtain heavy artillery fire.

But it cannot replace the role of real artillery.

Since Zheng Quezi was interested, Ye Qingshan simply told him about it to see if he had a chance to figure it out.

“There’s been some progress, but it’s not successful yet.

The experiment is very dangerous, and it almost killed two of our soldiers yesterday."

Zhou Pingkou said to Ye Qingshan with a wry smile.

"Let's go and take a look."

Ye Qingshan immediately changed his mind and decided not to go to the playground to review the soldiers.

Head straight to the explosion point in the north.

When Ye Qing arrived, he saw Zheng Quezi limping and instructing several soldiers to check the gasoline barrels.

"Successful, I succeeded.

The method the brigade commander mentioned before is really effective!"

Zheng Quezi was dancing with excitement.

"What a great Zheng Cripple! I really let you make a flying thunder cannon!"

Ye Qingshan walked over, stood behind Zheng Quezi, and said in surprise.

"Commander, you're back!"

Zheng Quezi turned around and greeted him with a smile.

Then, he pointed to the gasoline barrel in front of him and shouted excitedly: "Brigade Commander, look at the flying thunder cannon I made according to your instructions.

It took me and my colleagues seven or eight attempts before we finally succeeded.

The power of this shot is comparable to that of a heavy artillery.

Even if the bomb doesn't kill the Japanese, the shock will kill them."

Zheng Quezi has already experienced the terrible power caused by the explosion of the explosive pack fired from this flying thunder cannon.

Full of expectations for it.

Ye Qingshan looked at the excited Zheng Quezi in front of him and knew that he had indeed figured out how to use the Flying Thunder Cannon.

And the experiment was successful.

"Zheng Quezi, then demonstrate the Flying Thunder Cannon to your captain and the others."

Ye Qingshan then signaled to Zheng Quezi.

"Okay, that's what I meant."

Zheng Quezi agreed immediately. He originally wanted to demonstrate the power of these flying thunder cannons to Zhou Pingkou and others after the experiment was successful.

It’s even better now that Ye Qingshan is here too.

Next, Zheng Quezi took two young apprentice soldiers and began to carefully stuff explosive packs into the gasoline barrels.

boom!

boom!

After a while, an equally violent explosion was heard.

The flying thunder cannon is fired!

A pack of explosives tied into a disc shape was thrown out directly.

After a huge explosion.

Two hundred meters ahead, a big hole was blown out by another explosive pack on the open ground.

"My goodness!"

Zhou Pingkou and other officers from the 7th Military Police Regiment who were watching the demonstration were all dumbfounded.

"This power is comparable to a falling heavy artillery shell!

If this is fired at the Japanese, they will definitely suffer the consequences!"

Zhou Pingkou immediately realized the value of this flying thunder cannon.

"Damn, I like this flying thunder cannon."

Lu Dahai was so excited that he rushed over to help Zheng Quezi with the work.

It was obvious that he wanted to learn from Zheng Guizi how to deploy these flying thunder cannons.

"well done."

After watching Zheng Quezi's relatively successful demonstration of the Flying Thunder Cannon.

Ye Qingshan also nodded. It was better than he had imagined.

At the beginning, although Ye Qingshan knew the theory of manufacturing the Flying Thunder Cannon, he did not know how to make it.

We still need someone like Zheng Quezi who is skilled and courageous.

“Send people into the city and buy more gasoline barrels.

By then, we will have an extra killer weapon on the battlefield."

Ye Qingshan said to Zhou Pingkou.

"Yeah, I agree."

Zhou Pingkou nodded, already having this idea in mind.

Next, Ye Qingshan went to review the soldiers of the 7th Military Police Regiment.

I found that Zhou Pingkou's training was indeed effective.

Then, Ye Qingshan went to Sun Mingxu’s Guard 36th Brigade. The two sides’ bases were not far apart.

The soldiers from the 36th Guard Brigade were obviously inferior to those from the th Military Police Regiment.

Ye Qingshan stayed outside the city for a day and a night, and returned to the city on the morning of the 30th.

Then, he received two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

"Ashan, Elder Yan asked me to tell you.

They have already figured out all the manufacturing processes.

Now we have started to manufacture the barrels.”

“Haha, that’s great.

It’s happening faster than I thought.”

Ye Qingshan was very happy to hear the news.

However, this good mood was soon ruined by another piece of bad news.

"Early this morning, the Japanese 16th Division launched a surprise attack on our defensive position at Qilin Gate.

This directly led to the loss of the Qilin Gate position."

Ning Yongchen also found Ye Qingshan, and it was he who brought the bad news.

At this time, in order to prevent panic among the people in the city, this news had been blocked by the top leaders of the National Army.

There is no news from outside.

"Is the commander of the Qilin Gate troops an idiot?

How did they arrange the night guard? Why did they suffer such a terrible surprise attack by the devils? "

After hearing this, Ye Qingshan's face also looked very unhappy.

The Qilin Gate position is an extremely important strategic location on the second line of defense of the National Army outside the city of Nanjing.

The Nationalist command did not hesitate to deploy two divisions to defend there.

But in the end, it was lost overnight.

This is simply not too outrageous.
