This was an obvious conspiracy. The Japanese used their absolute superiority in equipment and personnel to oppress Wen San's independent regiment.
"Captain, we can't stay here and fight the Japanese. The Xicheng line of defense is almost undefendable, and one more regiment of troops cannot change the entire battle situation." Lao Wan was very worried.
With the wealth they had just accumulated, the combat effectiveness of each battalion and company was not improving. Under such circumstances, it is obviously very irrational to fight against the two Japanese brigades.
Wen San has always been unwilling to fight to the death in battles and cherishes the lives of his soldiers very much. Unless forced to do so, I will not rush in and fight hard.
"We must leave, but we can't leave in such a dejected manner, lest the Japanese tell lies." Wen San also knew that his troops had just been expanded and their combat effectiveness had not been improved. It is an act of seeking death to confront an elite Japanese brigade of tens of thousands with a small force of two thousand.
"How is the situation over at Liu Dezhu's side? How many mines do you have?" Wen San planned to play another mine warfare game, at least to kill some of the Japs' tanks.
At this time, the Japanese tank is actually still very fragile and not as powerful as expected. If you can combine land mines and explosive packs, you will definitely have a chance to blow up the Japanese tanks.
Liu Dezhu's master and apprentice had long been assigned to Lao Yang's logistics department. Wen San had specially given instructions to assign several people to them to collect the corresponding items for making landmines.
"Captain, are you looking for me?" Liu Dezhu ran over excitedly.
"How many landmines do you have now?" Wen San asked immediately.
"Not much. I haven't gotten much gunpowder recently, and the production of fuses is a bit slow." Liu Dezhu said a little embarrassed. If Wen San's previous usage was followed, these mines would not be enough.
"Well, quite a few. By the way, how is the trigger mine you are researching? Is there any progress?" Wen San is more concerned about this. The trigger mine is much better than the fuze ignition. As long as the devil steps on it, it can trigger the detonation. No need Soldiers worried about starting a fire died as a result.
"It hasn't been done yet. This thing is very difficult." Although Liu Dezhu didn't know much, in the end he was still a wild man. It cannot be compared with engineers from the professional military industry sector.
"However, I recently learned a new thing from the national army, called a bullet mine. This thing is very simple to make. Although its power is limited, it can effectively kill the soles of the enemy's feet and can also penetrate the tires of the enemy's trucks... Liu Dezhu saw that Wen San was a little disappointed and quickly added.
"Bullet mine? How to operate it?" Wen San became interested immediately after hearing this. He really didn't understand this thing before.
"The production process of bullet mines is very simple. The cost is very low, and the sources of materials are also very wide. As long as there are bullets, they can be manufactured in large quantities. Its performance is also very reliable. It is not only light in weight, easy to carry, but also very fast in deployment and concealable. Very good. It is specially used to kill the soles of the enemy's feet, and it is guaranteed to make the enemy very uncomfortable."
Liu Dezhu took out the bullet mine he carried with him and took it apart easily. Wen San took a look and understood the principle.
"Well done! With these bullets and mines, many Japanese soldiers can become cripples, unable to walk properly, and they are even beaten." Wen San suddenly felt happy.
But within a minute of being happy, he reacted again. Since there are people in the national army who know this, why aren't they used on a large scale?
Soon he figured out why. This bullet mine has no effect on tanks. If a soldier is injured in the front, just drive the tank forward and crush it a few times, and it will basically be eliminated.
"Can I use bullet mines to activate explosive packets?" Wen San has been thinking about how to use explosive packets. It is the most stupid behavior to let the soldiers rush up with explosive bags.
Not only do they have to face enemy light and heavy machine gun fire, but in the process of detonating, soldiers often need to use their lives to fill it up. It really hurts a thousand people and damages 800.
"Theoretically, it's not possible. The standard explosive package contains insensitive gunpowder. Even if it is hit by a bullet, it will not explode." Liu Dezhu's explanation was more professional.
"But if it can be equipped with a detonator, the explosive package can be detonated. It's just that how to set up this thing is still a bit troublesome. The bullet mine has limited pressure resistance. If the explosive package is pressed on it and covered with soil, it will be easy for the bullet to explode. Thunder inspires." Liu Dezhu began to think as he spoke.
This is also a completely new thing for him. The reason why the bullet mine can be easily buried in the ground is because it has a pointed tip and does not bear much pressure.
But the detonator is a hard object, coupled with the explosive bag and the weight of the soil on it. Before the Japs could step on them, the bullet mine had already been activated.
This is really difficult, otherwise someone might have figured it out long ago.
"Is it possible to make a buckle like a hunter's trap to increase the difficulty of activating the bullet mine? In other words, before planting the mine, the buckle of the bullet mine is stuck, and it will not be released until the upper limit of power is reached, and the bullet will be fired. Lei, let Bullet Lei detonate the explosive package again."
Wen San knows some methods of making traps, and there are many introductions to this aspect in both Mr. Bei's and Mr. De's wild survival videos. Wen San often watched these videos for some time in the past, so he knew some methods of making buckles.
Sometimes the boss can't loosen the buckle even if a stone is pressed on it, but as long as the key position is triggered, the stone will fall down all at once.
As Wen San spoke, he drew several buckle-making methods for Liu Dezhu on the ground. Liu Dezhu only looked at it for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"The second type of buckle has a high probability of success. Let me try it." Liu Dezhu turned around and ran away, regardless of whether Wen San had any other problems.
Seeing Liu Dezhu's excited look, Wen San simply followed him.
If these two things can be successfully combined, the Japanese tanks will suffer.
Liu Dezhu moved very quickly. He asked Ma Xiaojun and others to stop what they were doing and learn how to make the snaps Wen San taught them.
These things are all whittled out of wooden sticks. It is very convenient to use materials and there are basically no restrictions on materials.
In less than ten minutes, a qualified buckle was made. Liu Dezhu put the bullet mine in, and then pressed a stone weighing more than 20 kilograms on top, but the bullet mine was not triggered. It wasn't until Liu Dezhu boldly stood on the stone that the buckle was successfully released. The bullet hit the stone with a thud, which shocked Wen San.
"It's done! With the help of this thing, you can use bullet mines to activate explosive packets. We just got a batch of detonators yesterday, and there is no problem in making several such combination mines. But we need to teach those people how to lay mines. Engineer."
