00:00If a group of devils attack you, then you can send them all to hell with the explosives in your hand

00:04and let the king of hell judge them for their crimes in China.

00:07But what if the devils hide in the bunker to cover us with fire?

00:10Without heavy artillery, it is impossible to throw explosives into the enemy's position with close manpower,

00:16so you think of the ancient red-clad cannons.

00:19Theoretically, as long as you fill an iron pipe with gunpowder and explosives,

00:23and then light the gunpowder in the middle to isolate the heat,

00:26you can fire the explosives and blow up the enemy's bunker.

00:30But now there is a fatal problem.

00:32That is, due to the backwardness of our army and industry, it is impossible to mass-produce usable barrels.

00:38But this is not difficult for the smart you.

00:40You tamp the soil on the flat side of the position,

00:43and then dig out an open slope with a depth of half a meter and an angle of 40 degrees.

00:48Then, at the bottom of the slope, dig out a horizontal groove where the projectile package can be placed

00:54so that the kinetic energy generated by the explosion can be preserved to the greatest extent.

01:00After installing the projectile and igniting.

01:02In order to facilitate ignition, you can also extend the ignition rope of the projectile to the pit wall to the ground,

01:08and then the cattle backfill some clay on the slope and tamp it to prevent the explosive from being ignited in advance.

01:14At this point, you can hold the explosive pack tightly against the clay.

01:18However, before launching, you can also extend the lead of the explosive detonator and finally tie it to a wooden stick on the ground

01:25so that when you ignite the propellant, the explosive pack will ignite the detonator when it flies out,

01:30thus accurately controlling the time of the explosive explosion.

01:34This is the earliest earth cannon used by our army.

01:37Although this method is a bit crude, it is extremely effective.

01:40The only drawback is that the sealing of the soil is poor.

01:43After each launch, the soil pit will be damaged by the sugar pressure generated by the explosion.

01:48Therefore, you find the gasoline barrels captured on the battlefield to serve as a carrier for pushing the explosive pack

01:55and reinforce them with iron hoops to prevent bombs.

01:58Finally, the barrels are buried into the soil pit to stabilize the barrel and reduce the recoil.

02:03This not only greatly improves the range and accuracy, but also can be taken to other battlefields for repeated use after the battle.

02:10After doing this, then congratulations.

02:13You have created the heavy artillery rocket gun independently developed by our army during the anti-Japanese war.

02:19The range of the rocket gun is roughly between 100-200 meters, and each time it can fire 10-30 kilograms of explosives.

02:26In the era when there were few guns, the lightning cannon not only filled the gap in our heavy firepower,

02:31but also gave us the ability to confront the enemy head-on and take the offensive.
