That night, the military team held a simple staff meeting based on the results of reconnaissance and prisoner interrogation. [No pop-up novel website]. The meeting started with Wu De, who is the person in charge of this operation. According to the 21st century time and space, he should be: Goujiazhuang demolition project project manager.
Wu De wanted to carry out demolition in Baoli, so of course he had to have men and horses at his disposal. Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, several important heads of the military team were not in Bairen City. The only leader of the 6th Army Department left by the leadership of the military group was He Ming. He Ming is an old soldier who is known for obeying orders and being very principled. It is easier to coordinate with Wu De, who is from the navy.
In addition to members of the military team, there are also representatives of professional groups from various committees attending the meeting. Goujiazhuang will be their first trophy. Although it is just a small bully village, it is a prelude to seizing larger counties, prefectures and even the capital in the future. After occupying a residential area, we must be prepared for how to calm the people, how to seize materials and property, and how to carry out publicity.
According to the information at hand, Goujiazhuang's fortification level is not very strong even by the standards of this time and space. It is not difficult to break directly by force. The military team came up with the simplest and safest plan for personnel: use rifles to clear away the warriors on the wall, and then use protected construction machinery to directly hit the door. No matter how thick the wooden door is, it cannot withstand it even if it is covered with iron sheets. Bulldozers with hundreds of horsepower. But this plan is a little more luxurious. The construction machinery went from Bairencheng to Goujiazhuang. The terrain along the way was flat, which was not a problem for crawler vehicles. However, the distance was quite far. In addition to fuel consumption, the machinery itself also consumed considerable motorcycle hours.
To put it simply, let the commandos use a ladder or simply a human ladder to go up the wall of the village, occupy the gate of the village, and then open the door. But after boarding the stronghold, there is a very good chance that they will encounter a counterattack by the local warriors, and they may have to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Most people in the military team are not afraid of fighting them with bayonets, but if there are casualties, the losses will be a bit serious. Made up for it.
"You can't make foolproof plans for everything." He Ming said, "Soldiers are made in wars, not raised this way." He lit a crumpled cigarette.
"The problem with the village gate is not big," Ji Sidui said on behalf of the chemical industry group. "Our chemical industry group has produced a batch of explosives that can be used to blow open the village gate. If necessary, we can also provide grenades."
"Is there explosives?" Everyone was a little surprised. In order to avoid trouble, no explosives or pyrotechnics supplies were purchased during the preparation of supplies. Where did the explosives appear now?
"Is it black gunpowder?" Someone remembered that hundreds of kilograms of black gunpowder were seized from the village warriors last time.
"It's not that low-level." Ji Sixui smiled proudly. In the past two months, due to the lack of necessary raw materials and energy, the entire chemical team had to focus on infrastructure projects: installing a few sets of production equipment, and currently installing factory equipment. Everything was almost done, and this group of madmen with strong hands-on skills immediately began the trial production of explosives, a time-travel weapon.
The foundation of explosives is the chemical industry. At present, the chemical group has complete sets of equipment and technology, but it lacks production raw materials, especially coal and salt. Therefore, the basic three acids and two bases have not yet been put into production. Fortunately, the chemical industry team had already considered the military needs, and when purchasing chemical raw materials, they specially bought a batch of finished ammonia nitrate fertilizer - this was not for Wu Nanhai. Now, using this batch of chemical fertilizers as raw materials, an upgraded version - ammonium nitrate explosive has been produced.
Anyone who knows a little bit about explosives knows that ammonia nitrate itself is also a low-power explosive. Of course, the chemical engineering team is not satisfied with using chemical fertilizers directly as explosives - firstly, this does not show their level, and secondly, it is a waste of limited resources. The method of upgrading ammonia nitrate into ammonium nitrate explosive is to add some other ingredients to it. There are several recipes, some of which add high explosives, and some of which add combustion materials. Ammonium nitrate explosives are usually used in blasting projects, and can also be used to load explosive weapons such as mines and grenades. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army purchased ammonium nitrate from enemy-occupied areas and processed it for use as explosives. The advantage is that it has decent power and low sensitivity. It will not explode regardless of bullets, fire or vibration.
The finished product produced by the chemical team is ammonium wood explosive, which as the name suggests, has wood powder added to it - this stuff is everywhere in Bopu's sawmill without any trouble. The chemical team used simple equipment to produce about 50 kilograms, but they didn't dare to make more. This thing easily absorbs moisture, and it will fail immediately after it gets wet. In Hainan, the air humidity is relatively high all year round.
(Note: I won’t write about the raw material ratio and manufacturing process here. Daqing is coming, so don’t discuss these sensitive things.
As for the gunpowder used for detonation, the chemical team had no mercury available and could not make mercury fulminate for a while. However, black powder is also a good explosive. Although the black powder seized in the Bairentan battle was of poor quality, it would have been better to have a slightly larger quantity. . In order to ensure the quality of the fire, the chemical team also specially reprocessed and granulated the black powder, packed it into paper roll packages, and sealed the packages with wood tar asphalt to prevent moisture.
"Let's use a heartless cannon. It's easy to make but very powerful." Zhang Bolin looked excited. He felt that sending explosive packs was not interesting enough, so he had to bombard Goujiazhai.
"It's completely unnecessary." He Ming shook his head repeatedly, "The range of throwing the explosive package is not enough, and it is not accurate. God knows where to throw the explosive package."
"Well, the damage would be too great. If it falls in a residential area, it will cause a lot of damage. We are targeting large households, and ordinary people must try to protect them." Wu Nanhai firmly objected.
Zhang Bolin raised a sharp question: "Well, who are you going to send the explosive packs? The enemy will use bows and arrows and artillery from a distance, and rolling wood and rocks at a closer distance, plus gray bottles and hot excrement."
He Ming laughed: "There are 50 SKS blocking the city, and the firepower is enough."
"But the enemy can hide behind the crenels!"
"You don't know the power of the m43 bullet, do you?" Lin Shenhe, a sniper present, smiled, "This thing can definitely penetrate the layer of bricks in the crenel within 100 meters."
Fifty SKS-D semi-automatic continuous fires with 20 magazines, the firepower is comparable to a machine gun, even the invincible Iron King Kong can't stop it, let alone throwing rolling wood and stones on it.
"I'm still not willing to live without cannons." Zhang Bolin was still not satisfied.
The plan to break down the village gate was decided. The military team organized firepower to sweep the wall, and then dropped explosive packages to directly blow open the village gate. Everyone rushed into the village together.
"Things haven't ended yet after breaking into Zhuangzi," He Ming pointed to the map. "Actually, there is nothing in Zhuangzi itself. They are all ordinary people's houses. We only need to occupy the intersection and send people to patrol the wall to prevent anyone from escaping." ―This is very important! The key is the Gou family's residence. Once the outer wall is lost, all their strength will be withdrawn to defend it. So after we enter the village, the first step is to quickly occupy the front and rear entrances of the Gou family's residence. Prevent the broken troops from everywhere from retreating into the house - the less they go in, the easier it will be for us to deal with them."
Wu De said, "When I was interrogating the prisoners just now, I learned that there are more than 200 Yong family members in Youxiang, Goujiazhuang, and most of them are wanted criminals from the mainland. Most of these people are involved in life-threatening lawsuits. Once they retreat, A desperate struggle will cause us a lot of trouble."
"Is the inner house strong?"
"We drew a picture based on the prisoners' confessions." Wu De posted the picture on the blackboard. "Enter from the main entrance is an east-west cross street. There are seven houses lined up along the cross street, each with more than There are five entrances, and even three entrances are rare. These large and small main courtyards and side courtyards are all occupied by members of the Gou family. In addition, there are many side courtyards, group rooms for servants, and warehouse courtyards. All of these courtyards are self-contained. There is a wall. But as soon as our army enters Zhuangzi, the Gou family and the young will become turtles in the urn with no way to escape. He will probably not hesitate to reward heavily and make the servants and guards work hard to guard him, and those fellow clan members will probably also fight for their lives. In the house There are several wells in it, which usually store a lot of food and firewood. If they really want to fight to the death, we can only rely on people to attack."
"It's not difficult to attack the house. If you use rifles and explosives, you can take it down quickly."
"The most valuable things in Goujiazhuang are in the inner house. If they are broken, they will be of no use to us." Wu De emphasized their purpose again and again, "And we have to be prepared in case they get desperate and burn the house. The gold inside All the silver, treasure and food are gone.”
"I wonder how much treasure the Gou family has." Some people have already begun to be fascinated.
"Haven't you heard? The Gou family is still a pirate's den, and the things stolen from the sea are not available. We are going to make a fortune!"
"The most useful thing for us now is not treasure, but food!" Wu Nanhai was more anxious than anyone else because he knew the situation of food reserves better than anyone else.
"Whether it's food or treasure, whatever we capture will belong to us." Wu De laughed, "But the God of Soldiers, the scouts killed the second master of the Gou family today, even if the Gou family is a pig, they should know Someone is going to attack them, and they may move and hide the property. I propose to organize a team to go out tomorrow and control the area around Zhuangzi first."
"If we capture Zhuangzi, it goes without saying that there will be a lot of seizures. We alone can't move them all out. Do we use cars? There are no good roads in the area. We have to use manpower to transport them out. This requires mobilizing the masses. "
"If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten." Wu De thought about it, "Aren't the common people in Yanchang Village ready-made? Xi Yazhou did a great job there. Ask the work team to mobilize all the old and young in the village and fight for a while If you can’t count on them, it’s still useful to stand guard and carry things.”
Everyone also discussed how many people to send, how much equipment and supplies to bring for the siege, how to arrange health support, how to write publicity notices, and how to identify the people for relief. We discussed it until almost midnight before we finalized everything.
