So damn insidious.
Hard to guard against!
Regardless of everyone's horror, Chongzhen continued: "Let's talk about minefields. The so-called minefields are multiple mines scattered in a larger area, forming a minefield.
For example, a hundred one-pound landmines are placed three meters apart. All the fumigation devices are connected to a detonating mechanism or several detonating mechanisms with ropes.
The detonating device is placed in the middle of the minefield, or at the front of the minefield. When the enemy steps on the detonating device, what do you think will happen? "
"If the entire minefield is full of people, then all the people in the minefield will be disabled and... dead, because the explosion power of a hundred landmines will be superimposed several times."
"correct answer!"
Chongzhen looked at Sun Yuanhua who answered subconsciously and praised him.
But this answer was correct, and he shivered again, breaking out in cold sweat, and the fear in his eyes deepened.
If the 50-pound landmine just now radiates more than ten acres of land, it may cause one to two thousand casualties.
But that's just possible.
It is also possible that the scout happened to step on it and the scout was blown to pieces.
More likely, it was just a coincidence that no one stepped on it and no explosion occurred.
But the explosion of this minefield composed of hundreds of landmines is the most destructive. The detonating mechanism is at the front. At this time, the entire minefield is full of people.
After the explosion, the scene of the eighteen levels of hell will reappear again.
The enemy will be destroyed without attack.
“Minefields are divided into three types: defensive minefields, tactical minefields, and fake minefields.
The so-called defensive minefield is to place minefields on the enemy's offensive path to interfere with the enemy's strategic deployment and force the enemy to stop moving or move to other target points.
For example, if we deploy a minefield one hundred meters wide and dozens of miles long on the border, the enemy can only stare at us blankly. Of course, it is not ruled out that they will use human lives or cattle, sheep and horses to consume it.
Let’s talk about tactical minefields. The main purpose is to cut and disperse the enemy’s effective forces and delay their movements when the enemy troops are marching in regiments.
For charge attacks by multiple arms such as infantry, cavalry, tanks, etc., this kind of minefield layout is not necessarily so dense, but it is targeted.
Finally, there is the fake minefield. Real and fake mines are mixed together to mislead the enemy's attack direction, scare the enemy, and thus achieve the purpose of covering up the real minefield! "
The frightened people and the people at the Firearms Research Institute were a little confused now. After all, the matter in the minefield had already involved the marching formation.
On the contrary, the eyes of several generals were shining. They led troops to fight. Naturally they knew the importance of the emperor's three minefields, and they thought of more scenarios in their minds.
By this point, their breathing was beginning to quicken.
The eyes of everyone at the Firearms Research Institute were intense, and Xu Guangqi and others were horrified by the sight.
"Suppose the enemy knows our secret weapon and wants to send people to clear the mines. Is it possible?"
"Of course there is. As long as we disguise ourselves well, it will be difficult for them to detect it, and the time it takes to clear the mines will achieve our goal!"
Not to mention that there are no metal detectors and lightning detectors in this era. Even if there are, there is nothing we can do.
Because there are many kinds of mines in this era, such as stone mines, ceramic mines, cast iron mines, etc. How to detect stones and ceramics?
There are only two ways to find landmines, either use human lives to pile them up, or use other things to replace people and wade through the minefield.
"It's hard but it doesn't mean there isn't one. The world is so big that there are always some talented people, or they can make some guiding methods by observing clues and accumulating experience.
Can we still let them clear mines at this time? Is there no way we can counter it? "
"Of course there is a way!"
Chongzhen asked himself and answered: "That is to arrange multiple mines, serial mines, and one-pound mines. When buried, two mines can be stacked on top of each other, one on top, one below, and the detonating mechanism of the bottom one is wrapped around it. On a mine above,
When the enemy digs up the soil around the first mine, they must be very happy.
They will pick up the mine above, and the mine will lift off the ground, triggering the detonating device of the mine below, causing an explosion!
Of course, it doesn’t have to be stacked top to bottom, it can also be placed front to back, the principles are the same!
That’s all for now. I’ll add more when I think of other things! "
Everyone was once again shocked by the emperor's words.
So much to say first?
Isn't that too much?
So much content is beyond the scope of everyone's cognition. The research results produced by dozens of people from the Mine Division of the Firearms Research Institute in the past year are not even one-tenth of what you just mentioned.
After the shock, everyone's eyes were filled with thoughts, and Chongzhen didn't bother him. He just stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at the mountains in the distance quietly.
The reason why he knows these things is mainly due to some clips in the TV series about special forces in later generations.
Although it has the nature of a divine drama, the plot of the minelaying shown can stand up to scrutiny.
Landmines have had a great impact on later generations, and many famous minefields appeared, such as the longest minefield in the world: the Western Sahara minefield is 2,700 kilometers long and contains 7 million landmines.
The most complex minefield in the world is the 161 minefield between China and Vietnam. Both sides have laid more than 2 million mines, and the minefield area reaches 400 square kilometers.
It was a restricted area of life, and even the monkeys in the jungle were either dead or injured.
The landmines of this era cannot meet the conditions of later generations due to their sealing properties, etc., but they can still achieve the effect of blocking the enemy in a short period of time.
After a while, everyone woke up and looked at Chongzhen with eyes filled with wonder, fear, and excitement.
Especially several generals, who had just heard Bi Maokang say that the flintlock gun was the emperor's idea, and they were still a little skeptical. Now that they heard the idea of mines, they were simply shocked.
Xu Guangqi looked at Chongzhen with admiration on his face: "Your Majesty, I made a mistake this morning. Based on your assumptions about firearms, if you concentrate on firearms research, Bo Yu will have to step aside. You are definitely the number one person in the world. "
"Your Majesty, Dean Xu is right. Granulated gunpowder, flintlock guns, flintlock mines, etc. are all your ideas.
You are the supreme mentor of our Daming firearm researchers! "
…
Look... if a researcher is flattering, it will definitely be extraordinary.
But he must admit that although the little knowledge he has is from later TV shows and novels, if he is asked to study systematically, it is hard to say that he is number one in the world, but he will definitely be at the top.
This is the role of vision and structure.
"Okay, I'm just giving my opinion, I need you to study the details!"
When Chongzhen said this, he looked at Xu Guangqi and others: "Xu Aiqing, tell me the truth, are you sure you can make a landmine with a flintlock device?"
