Time bombs are something that often appear in movies and TV dramas, but they do have some uses in reality.
However, in this era of underdeveloped electronic technology, time bombs with mechanical structures are often unreliable and have a certain probability of failure. In order to improve reliability, other designs are often added.
After Zhou Changfeng and others stole the armory of the Taddeo military camp in the early morning, they left a surprise there.
The No. 2 timing fuze developed by the Equipment Section of the Intelligence Department has good versatility, but it only plays the role of timing detonation. When used, it can be installed on various explosives depending on the actual situation.
Zhou Changfeng was lazy and directly wrapped three 100g explosive blocks around the fuse with electrical tape - it was simpler, but it didn't mean it couldn't be used.
Set the time, pull out the safety pin, a rustling sound will sound, and the timer will start.
For the sake of safety, Zhou Changfeng deployed two bombs at a time, and specially installed fuses on three boxes of 81mm mortar shells, unscrewed the fuses, and knocked on the boxes to unlock the inertial rear seat safety. Keep mortars ready to fire to ensure they can be triggered.
Otherwise, unfuzed munitions may be difficult to detonate.
Later, when two CTL-3 tanks rushed out of the garage one after another, there were still two and a half minutes before the timer counted down.
On the playground in front of the barracks in the northeastern part of the military camp, scattered Javanese soldiers were lining up at the urging of the Dutch officers.
The red, white and blue tricolor flag bathed in the morning light slowly rose, and "Ode to William" was played - "I, William of Nassau...I, the Prince of Orange..."
However, at this moment, the melodious music was broken by the roar of the engine?
The people present followed the sound, not knowing why.
"Damn, who's driving the tank?!"
"Where is Captain Colbert, who is in charge of the assessment?"
"Hey, hurry up and make them stop."
"Keep playing!"
The officers were also staring with big eyes, because there was indeed a tank evaluation plan recently. A few days ago it was to evaluate mobility, these days it is to evaluate reliability, so they subconsciously thought that someone had remembered the time wrongly.
So a second lieutenant ran over with a few people, shouting loudly as he ran: "Stop! What are you doing?!"
However, the turrets of the two tanks slowly turned towards them in unison, and the black machine gun muzzles were pointed directly at the large group of Dutch and Indian soldiers on the playground who were watching the fun.
To shoot a man first, shoot a horse, and to capture a thief first, capture the king. This is the eternal truth.
In the turret of the first tank, an expressionless Wang Mingfa pulled the trigger.
The orange muzzle flash burst out, and the gunshot "click, click, click" suddenly sounded.
The several Dutch officers with angry faces standing at the front of the crowd were like living targets. Wang Mingfa operated the M7919A4 heavy machine gun in the car and poured out a series of bullets at them.
More than a dozen rounds of 7.62×63mm M1 stern heavy tip bullets knocked down four officers at once, and a captain and three lieutenants, including the deputy battalion commander, were beaten to a bloody pulp.
The .30 rifle bullet with a muzzle kinetic energy exceeding 3,800 joules is currently the most powerful conventional rifle bullet in the world. In a sense, it can also be regarded as the paranoid characteristic of Americans pursuing firepower.
Analogous to the muzzle kinetic energy, the Russian-made 7.62×54mm bullet is about 3500J, the British-made 7.7×56mm bullet is about 3100J, the German-made 7.92×57mm bullet is about 3700J, the Ming-made 7.36×56mm bullet is about 3200J, and the Italian-made 7.36×56mm bullet is about 3200J. The 6.5×52mm bullet is about 2600J.
Several Dutch officers who were knocked down struggled a few times in a pool of blood and then disappeared, which shows that the killing effect was very effective.
However, it would be better if it can be equipped with a cannon. Only machine guns are not enough.
"No need to fight, just disperse this rabble!" Zhou Changfeng turned around and shouted.
The Javanese soldiers present were all confused. What kind of mysterious situation is this? ! Why did your tank fire on your own people? !
After a brief period of sluggishness, they dispersed in a hurry, and the Dutch non-commissioned officers who tried to maintain order were directly dispersed by the crowd.
The two tanks rushed straight to the gate of the military camp. It was like entering a deserted land. Zhou Changfeng even deliberately knocked down a wooden sentry tower. The Javanese soldiers on top let out a shrill scream and fell down.
"Boom!!!" When they drove onto the road, a deafening roar came from behind.
Like a volcano erupting, the entire armory was blown up, flames and smoke rose into the sky, and a few seconds later, broken house fragments fell like rain.
In fact, the safety of various ammunition has still withstood the test. Although Zhou Changfeng specially installed fuses on three boxes of 81mm mortar shells and unscrewed the fuses in order to trigger a larger series of explosions, in the end, except for these mortar shells, Only a small part of the other ammunition exploded, and more ammunition was blown away by the shock wave.
On the ninth-floor platform of the Katalin Hotel, Shen Yu, who was sitting there, was thinking about whether to prepare a gift or something for his wife before returning home, but was startled by the sudden explosion.
He quickly picked up the binoculars, stood up and looked in the direction of the Taddeo military camp, and saw two tanks rushing out?
Zhou Changfeng, Zhou Changfeng, you are so outrageous! We are here to kill the traitors, not to cause trouble in heaven! Just change your surname to Sun from now on.
Shen Yu, who looked helpless, sighed in his heart.
"Are you all ready?" he asked, tilting his head.
Qiao Yang on the side nodded slightly, "It's all confirmed, it's very safe."
Six rounds of artillery shells were placed next to it, and several ammunition chains were neatly placed next to the machine gun. According to Qiao Yang's request, Xu Qinglan specially brought two more glasses of water to the M7921 heavyweight that had already been filled with half a bucket of water. The water-cooled sleeve of the machine gun is fully filled.
Three minutes ago, in that wooden villa.
Sunlight poured into the house through the curtains. In the small room in the northeast corner of the first floor of the villa, Chai Guoyi woke up.
How many days has it been since he fled with his family? Ten days? Half a month? He didn't seem to remember clearly.
Do I have to spend the rest of my life like this? When the information they possess is revealed bit by bit, will the British fulfill their promises? Or treat him as an abandoned son?
While he was washing, he was distracted and once again confirmed his idea - he must save the most important news until the end, because it was the key to whether his family could survive.
As for whether he regrets it or not, he regrets it a little now. In the future, his wife, daughter, and youngest son may never have the chance to return to the Ming Dynasty.
However, if I were allowed to make another choice at that time, I'm afraid I would still make the same choice.
As a person with no power and money, who was so marginalized that he was "relegated" to a place like Uszang to work in logistics, it was tantamount to cutting off all prospects.
In this case, why not take a gamble? Why bother with money?
"boom--"
At this time, he was brought back to reality by the explosion.
Where did the explosion come from? That direction... seems to be the Taddeo military camp?
Outside the villa, two British agents who were making jokes stopped talking to each other, and the lazy Javanese policemen also stood up one after another, putting their hands on the pistols on their waists.
Like people within a few miles of the nearby area, they all looked in the direction of the explosion.
