Su Ergou was driving the big fat pig and was chatting with Su Zhuang.
"Zhuangzi, what are these iron boxes that Commander Su asked us to transport for?
And this hammer with a wooden handle is too light. It's just over half a catty, but it can kill someone.
Hitting someone with a hammer is not as convenient as cutting them with a knife. "
"What does Commander Su ask you to do? Let's do it! We have three meals a day and we still can't shut your mouth."
Su Zhuang replied impatiently, he looked down on people like Su Ergou who relied on flattery to get to the top.
"You are so boring."
Su Ergou found that Su Zhuang didn't like to talk to him, so he turned around to chat with his subordinates.
Su He saw Su Ergou driving the pigs over. They carried the mines and grenades urgently produced by the arsenal.
He prepared his troops to adapt to the power of firearms and become proficient in the use of mines and grenades.
"Su Ergou, tie the pig to the tree on the hillside ahead."
Su He asked Su Ergou to tie the pig to a tree three hundred meters ahead.
When Su Ergou came back, Su He began to introduce landmines and grenades to the army.
Detailed introduction to several classic uses of mines and grenades.
After hearing this, Su Ergou asked in disbelief: "Commander Su, such a gadget can be so powerful."
“This is the age of firearms. If we want to succeed in our rebellion, we must create more advanced firearms and unleash their power.
Speak with facts. Whether landmines and grenades are powerful or not, you will know after you try them. "
Su He first led the army to dig a trench.
They stood three hundred meters away, but Su He was not sure of the power of three kilograms of granular gunpowder.
If they don't take precautions, it will be bad if the fragments from the landmine explosion injure them.
The trenches were dug very quickly and were one meter deep, allowing people to bend down and hide in the trenches.
Su He took all the company and platoon leaders to lay mines.
The mine arsenal has been manufactured. All you need to do is insert the match rope into the fire hole. There is a clip outside the fire hole to prevent the match rope from falling.
Mines were buried directly beneath the pigs.
Long lengths of match rope were tied together, and the match rope was extended to the trench.
"Don't stick your head out. Everyone get down and get ready to report it to me."
"Ready in a row."
"Second Company is ready."
"Three companies are ready."
"Reconnaissance Platoon ready."
"Grenadier platoon ready."
When Su He heard that everyone was getting ready, he took out the fire rope and lit the match.
Match rope is made of silk wrapped with granules of gunpowder. It burns very quickly after being ignited.
The match rope burned and made a small hissing sound.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the people lying in the trench felt the earth shaking.
The loess that was lifted up above their heads fell down, making everyone covered in loess.
"You can get up now, let's go see the explosion effect."
Su He shook off the loess from his body and led the team to the explosion site.
A small crater was blasted directly on the ground. The fat pig had been blown into pieces, and even the small trees next to it were blown away.
Su Ergou's eyes widened and he said tremblingly: "The mine is so powerful. If anyone is on it, it will be blown up directly."
Su Xiong's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "Landmines are so powerful, so place them where the enemy must pass.
If a mine is suddenly detonated, the enemy will be in chaos. If you rush over at that time, you will definitely win. "
When Su He heard what Su Xiong said, he immediately praised: "Su Xiong is right. Nowadays, landmines are very effective in ambushing enemies.
When the pressure fuse was developed, mines were placed around the camp, which would explode as soon as someone stepped on them.
As long as we lay out a minefield, we are not afraid of enemy raids. "
Su He looked at the people who were shocked by the power of the landmine and gradually recovered.
"Let's try a grenade. Now the grenade is too heavy, weighing half a kilogram.
Others mainly use grenades for defense, such as standing on city walls to blow up enemies, or standing in trenches to blow up enemies.
The average person's arm strength cannot throw a grenade very far, and it is very easy to injure oneself.
The soldiers of the grenadier platoon have amazing arm strength and they mainly attack with grenades. "
Su He introduced the function of grenades to everyone.
After Su Zhuang heard this, he understood the position of their platoon.
The people in their row were all top-ranked in stone ball throwing training.
He himself is the first, and can throw half a pound of stone balls to 80 meters.
Ordinary soldiers in their platoon can generally throw half a catty of stone balls to more than 40 meters.
Su He began to train soldiers according to the grenade training method for recruits recorded in the "Militia Military Training Manual".
They first dug a trench with partitions.
There are no trenches in front of the soldier. There are trenches behind him and to his left and right.
Soldiers throw grenades forward. Even if the grenades fall under their feet due to nervousness, they can still jump into the ditch to avoid danger.
Su He planned to teach the company platoon leader first, and then let them lead the squad leader, who would then lead the soldiers.
Don't ignite the grenade first, everyone is familiar with how to operate the grenade.
Wait until everyone is comfortable and start the actual operation.
Su He gave everyone a demonstration first, lighting the matchstick leaking from the grenade.
There is a match rope inside the wooden handle of the grenade. The burning speed of the match rope is calculated in detail and is 6 to 8 seconds.
The grenade was thrown out by Su He. It was thrown more than fifty meters and exploded when it hit the ground.
When the grenade exploded, shrapnel flew ten meters away, and people in this area were either dead or maimed.
After Su He's demonstration, he began to ask the platoon commanders of each company to drop bombs, and he taught on the side to prevent accidents.
The first few people completed the bomb release smoothly. Su He saw that the third company commander Li Qingmu was a little nervous, and he tensed up his muscles and prepared for rescue.
Third company commander Li Qingmu held a grenade in his hand and was very nervous.
He lit the match according to the steps, but because he was too nervous and his arms were weak, he threw the grenade directly more than five meters away from him.
Li Qingmu seemed to be frightened and just stood there without moving.
Su He immediately pounced on him. He and Li Qingmu rolled into the trench nearby, and then the grenade exploded.
Li Qingmu got up and said with a face of shame: "Commander Su, I was wrong. I didn't react just now and my mind went blank."
Su He patted the dirt off his body and encouraged: "It's okay, you are all new recruits, you will master it as long as you train more.
No one is born with it. I will teach you now, and you will have to teach your soldiers later. "
Su He led the army to train for three days. Everyone in the army was familiar with the use of landmines and grenades.
The army was standing in military posture, and a harsh whistle sounded.
Su He raised his head and looked towards the village, only to see bursts of black smoke rising from the north of the village.
This is the signal that Sujiacun is under attack, and the enemy's situation is conveyed through whistles and fireworks.
After the rebellion was successful, Su He sent a platoon of troops to blockade Sujia Village.
Now it seems that the subordinate official in Sujia Village who has been missing for many days has not returned, so the county finally sent someone to check.
This time was a full seven days later than Su He expected, giving him a chance to train his troops.
Now that I have mines and grenades in my hands, I am not afraid of the county officers and soldiers at all.
"Assemble and support the north of the village."
The army was quickly assembled and ran in order to the north of the village.
