Su Wen knew very well that with the current equipment of the Taihang Mountain Munitions Factory, it was impossible to produce a proper cannon.
Even though they had bought a lot of equipment from the Japanese 4th division, they still couldn't make cannons.
Under such circumstances, the Flying Thunder Cannon was the best choice.
The Flying Thunder Cannon had no conscience. Its parts were all made from local materials, and the body of the cannon was modified from abandoned gasoline barrels on the battlefield.
The principle of its launch was also very simple. It was basically the same as a mortar. It used a sliding bore to shoot at a high angle. At the same time, it relied on the ground to withstand and absorb the huge recoil. Then, it used the reaction force generated by the detonation of a certain amount of black gunpowder in the oil barrel to push the partition. The explosives filled in the cannon body were thrown into the enemy's position. The range was not far, about 200 meters.
With the current situation of the Eighth Route Army Military Factory, Su Wen felt that it was most suitable to make the Flying Thunder Cannon.
Moreover, because the creation of the Flying Thunder Cannon was very simple, Su Wen could create it without any epiphany. He could just rely on the information he had read before transmigrating.
Looking at the stunned Zhao Tianming, Su Wen confirmed again,"That's right, Factory Manager Zhao. I only need an iron bucket to make a cannon!”
"Of course, this is a simple cannon that can solve a temporary need!”
"I'll make do with it first."
Zhao Tianming came back to his senses and said,"Alright, I'll get you a metal bucket immediately!"”
The Taihang Mountain Munitions Factory had quite a few metal barrels.
Very quickly.
In the backyard of the Munitions Factory.
Zhao Tianming found seven or eight metal buckets.
He did not know why Su Wen wanted these metal buckets.
Su Wen did not waste any more time and began to operate the metal bucket.
First, he made a small opening at the bottom of the barrel and pulled out a fuse. Then, he placed the gunpowder at the bottom of the barrel. After that, he placed the entire barrel at an angle of 45 degrees and buried it underground. The muzzle was exposed, and the soil around the barrel had to be compressed.
The basic frame of the Flying Thunder Cannon was ready.
Immediately after, Su Wen placed an explosive bag into the metal bucket.
After a series of operations, the Flying Thunder Cannon was completed.
The real power of the Flying Thunder Cannon came from the projectile because it was not a cannonball, but a powerful explosive such as explosives and cluster grenades.
Because the yield was high enough, not only could it blow up infantry, but it could also turn against fortifications and armor.
Its power was quite great.
Zhao Tianming was stunned.
Su Wen looked at Zhao Tianming with a smile and said,"Factory Manager Zhao, the cannon is ready!”
"Done?" Zhao Tianming was even more confused."That simple? Is it okay?"
"If you want to know if this cannon works, it's easy to try it!”After saying that, Su Wen got Zhao Tianming to move aside. Then, he lit the fuse and quickly ran away.
Sizzle...
The fuse quickly burned.
It directly burned the gunpowder at the bottom of the iron barrel.
Zi la hua la
The burning of the gunpowder produced a huge thrust, followed by the launch of the topmost explosive pack.
whoosh
After the explosive bag drew an arc in the air, it landed 200 meters away and exploded.
rumble
boom boom boom
The power of this explosion was extremely huge.
The explosion was deafening.
Smoke rose!
The ground seemed to be trembling.
Such a huge power shocked Su Wen.
After all, this was his first time experiencing the power of the Flying Thunder Cannon.
This time, the explosive bag Su Wen used was not too big, only about ten kilograms, but its power was still quite terrifying.
After such an explosive bag exploded in the enemy's position, the range of lethality was very large. The fortifications within a radius of 10 meters could be destroyed, and the enemies within 20 meters were basically either dead or injured.
Although there were no explosive fragments in the explosive bag, the power of the explosion was enough to kill the enemy by the shock wave.
Zhao Tianming, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded.
This cannon looked so simple to make, but it was so powerful?
Wasn't this too terrifying?
Such a cannon could only be used?
Zhao Tianming was dumbfounded again.
