After those crates were opened, they saw brand new Fiery Oil weapons, which were pitch-black and shiny. Separated by simple cotton paper, they were lying quietly in the crates in rows. All the new weapons had just been produced. At the sight of them, all the generals were tempted.
Before Zhang Tie came to the theater of operations, the ground troops of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory were mainly equipped with inflammable grenades, inflammable javelins and inflammable crossbow bolts. Some boxes contained inflammable javelins, inflammable grenades and inflammable crossbow bolts. Besides, over the past one year, engineers and craftsmen in Taixia Country had invented two more new equipment which were suitable for large-scale ground troops, namely inflammable mines and inflammable flaming guns by means of Fiery Oil …
"This is an inflammable grenade …" Under the gaze of those corps leaders, Zhang Tie picked up an inflammable grenade from a crate. After rotating the handle of the inflammable grenade by 90 degrees counterclockwise, Zhang Tie threw it towards a wooden target on the training ground 50 m away. The moment the grenade fell on the foot of the wooden target, a flame had burst out, covering the wooden target. Only after a short while, the wooden target had been burned into ashes by the high temperature of the inflammable grenade. Not only that, after burning the wooden target into ashes, the flames released by the inflammable grenade on the ground didn't die out right away; instead, they burned the ground covering about 20 square meters black, leaving some wisps of cyan smoke …
The power of the inflammable grenade shocked all the generals who saw it for the first time.
After receiving Zhang Tie's signal, all the corps leaders came over here. After picking up an inflammable grenade and watching it over and over, they all nodded inside after weighing the weight of the inflammable grenade.
"I saw the general turn the handle of the inflammable grenade when you threw it out just now. What's the secret?" Peng Yulin asked as he took an inflammable grenade. "This is the safety switch of the inflammable grenade.
"This is the safety switch of an incendiary grenade. When the safety switch is not turned on, this incendiary grenade is very safe. It won't detonate even if it's bumped. However, after the handle of the grenade is turned 90 degrees counterclockwise, the fuse of this grenade will be triggered. Incendiary grenade adopts mixed fuse. When the safety switch is turned on, the moment it collides with any object, the incendiary grenade will be triggered. Another situation is that after the safety switch is turned on for 4.2 seconds, even if it doesn't collide with any object, it will also be triggered automatically. The triggering conditions of the two fuse will be triggered first..." Zhang Tie said as he picked up another incendiary grenade. After twisting the handle of the grenade by 90 degrees counterclockwise, he threw it towards the wooden target. This time, the grenade didn't fall onto the ground; instead, it directly exploded in the air, causing a huge flame in the air. Closely after that, it fell onto the ground and started to burn.
"The detonation mode of the mixed fuse of inflammable grenade is completely designed for the consideration of actual combat. Because Hua fighters' opponents on the battlefield are all LV 9 demon fighters, whose speed and response are far greater than that of common Hua fighters. In this case, if we only use the delayed fuse, before the grenade is detonated, it would probably be kicked or thrown back by the demon fighters, causing casualties on our side. However, if we only use the triggered fuse, the inflammable grenade would not explode before falling onto the ground or hitting the opponent. Therefore, the opponent could easily dodge away from the attack of the inflammable grenade …"
All the corps leaders on his side nodded. The mixed fuse of the inflammable grenade was indeed based on actual combat. It could never be imagined by those nerds or those who had never been to the frontline battlefields. Additionally, the delay time of the fuse of 4.2 seconds was very mysterious. Given the speed and distance of fighters below LV 9 who could throw inflammable grenades, 4.2 seconds was indeed the best time to fight demon fighters on the ground...
"Great, that's great!" Fang Hui forcefully clapped his hands on one side as he said, "That's a good idea. Those who have not fought demon fighters on the ground could never come up with such a good idea. Such a person should be rewarded heavily …"
Zhang Tie just replied with a smile. Lu Yanyu on his side opened his mouth, "I'd like to let generals know that the mixed fuse of the inflammable grenade was also proposed by Lord General. Many key links of these weapons in the arsenals of Huanzhou Province, Kangzhou Province, Ningzhou Province and Military Province are designed by Lord General …"
After hearing Lu Yanyu's words, all the corps leaders changed their eye light towards Zhang Tie once again. They all knew that Zhang Tie was a great talent. However, they had not imagined that Zhang Tie could have such a great attainment in such technical skills. It seemed that Lord Military God appointed Qianji Hermit as Weiji General. Previously, those corps leaders didn't believe that the dual-drive engine was invented by Zhang Tie. In their opinion, it might be invented by some subordinates of Zhang Tie for the sake of adding glory to Zhang Tie. However, given their current situation, they realized that Qianji Hermit's ability might be unimaginable by commoners …
Zhang Tie just replied with a smile towards Lu Yanyu and the other corps leaders' praises without being arrogant at all. The mixed fuse of inflammable grenade was indeed the best design that Zhang Tie had found in battles and practices with numerous demon fighters in the trouble-reappearance situations. Besides grenade, he also adopted the mixed fuse of inflammable javelins …
After trying the power of the inflammable grenade, all the corps leaders became spirited …
After the inflammable grenades, it was the inflammable javelins and inflammable crossbows. Zhang Tie then demonstrated those new weapons one after another. Even those commissioned officers and Hua fighters in the training ground were in an uproar, not to mention those corps leaders.
In particular, when Zhang Tie demonstrated the inflammable javelins, he threw them casually. With a flash, the inflammable javelins hit a huge weathered rock on the hillside over 1,000 m away, causing the entire rock to explode. Closely after that, it started to burn heavily. The destructive power and range of the inflammable javelins were almost 3 times greater than that of the inflammable grenade.
Inflammable mines were even weirder. They were almost as large as inflammable grenade; however, they were flatter and could be easily buried underground. Inflammable mines adopted a trigger fuse. The moment one was stepped on, it would spurt out a flame, covering the one who stepped on it and burning him into ashes. Even those on the side might be affected by it. Because the destructive power of inflammable mines could match that of inflammable grenade, once they were detonated, they would cover an area of about 20 square meters …
Besides, among all the fiery oil weapons, the most powerful one was the inflammable flamethrower.
The prototype of the inflammable flamethrower was the flamethrower used in human armies before the Catastrophe. By carrying a pair of steel cans on one's back and holding a 1-m long flamethrower, the moment one pressed the switch, the fiery oil that had been filled with filler would spurt out of the spearhead under the high-pressure nitrogen, turning into a 40-50 m long raging boa fiery dragon that would sweep over everything in its way, including stones, wooden targets and shrubs on the ground …
The destructive power of the inflammable flamethrower shocked those corps leaders, even those Hua fighters in the training ground were dumbfounded. They couldn't help but cheer up. Because everybody knew that they were going to be equipped with such powerful weapons and equipment …
"With such powerful weapons, even Taixia fighters would not be afraid of demons in the future even if all the demons are LV 9 fighters …" A corps leader let out a deep sigh.
"Not to mention LV 9 fighters, even battle demons who have formed protective battle qis could not stand such a high temperature for a few seconds …"
"You mean, in a suitable geographical environment, as long as one of our fighters carries an inflammable flamethrower, he could even kill dozens of LV 9 demons …"
"Based on the destructive power of the inflammable flamethrower, if it's fired in the air, it could also deal with those low-altitude wing demons …"
"In this way, as long as demons suffer a few losses, they would know the destructive power of inflammable flamethrower. In the future battlefields, our fighters who use inflammable flamethrower would definitely be the first target of demons. Only warriors could use inflammable flamethrower …"
All the corps leaders were in a heated discussion as they were all convinced by the destructive power of the inflammable flamethrower. To a certain degree, this inflammable flamethrower was even greater than some powerful fire-attributed battle qi strikes.
"Besides being matched with an individual soldier, if it's matched with an armored vehicle …" Peng Yulin said as all the others moved their eyes onto Zhang Tie.
"The Incendiary Tank has indeed been manufactured. The weapon on the tank is the more powerful and enhanced Incendiary Flamethrower. A steam pressurization device and a small nitrogen separator have been added to the Incendiary Flamethrower. Therefore, the power of the Incendiary Flamethrower could reach 100 m away …"
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, all the corps leaders' eyes shone once again. However, Zhang Tie's following words made them give up for the time being …
"However, the terrain of Helan Mountain Range is not suitable for armored vehicles and other heavy equipment. The first batch of inflammable tanks could only be transported to the corps of Taixia Country near Weishui River by railway …"
"Airplanes and air forces?"
Zhang Tie blinked his eyes as he replied, "I don't know what air forces are. I'm just a Weiji General in the theater of operations. I'm responsible for training pilots and making weapons. It's up to Military God to consider how to use those pilots and how to establish troops. If I want to establish an air force in the rear, the around-the-clock imperial censors in the censorate of Xuanyuan Hill might find a chance to lose their temper …"
After exchanging a glance with each other, all the corps leaders understood Zhang Tie's concern. Therefore, they didn't say anything more.
"How many equipment do you bring to each corps?"
"Each legion has 1.5 million incendiary grenades, 500,000 incendiary mines, 100,000 incendiary spears, 200,000 incendiary crossbow bolts, 10,000 incendiary flamethrowers, as well as some supporting equipment and supplies. That's all we have for now …"
"We appreciate on behalf of our subordinates, commander-in-chief!" All the corps leaders cupped their hands towards Zhang Tie at the same time as they said, "It's really a blessing for us fighters to have commander-in-chief in the theater of operations!"
Zhang Tie just shook his head as he let out a sigh inside. After throwing a complex look at those common fighters on the training ground, he said in a low voice, "I only hope that their parents, wives and children don't hate me in the future. Without these items, they would escape away when they encounter demons; however, with these items, they would die …"
A breeze blew by, raising and falling the dust on the training ground. It was quiet in the surroundings. Those corps leaders and generals watched Zhang Tie silently. Nobody could understand Zhang Tie's feelings.
"It's our wish for Taixia men to die on the battlefield of the holy war for the country and the people. If we fight to the death, we will have no regrets …" Peng Yulin said as he raised his head, revealing a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows under his helmet which were like that of an eagle spreading its wings …
