Chapter 507: The Guy for the Behemoth
It is convenient for ships to sail on the sea with maritime satellite phones, and it will take less than 10 years for that thing to appear, although it is expensive, but it is worth the cost. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ship owners and captains like that thing, and people like Zhang Nan are big users of this new type of communication tool: flying all over the world, if no one in the entourage brings a satellite phone, then it is still called a super-rich?
This will not be 20 years from now, and the status of satellite phones will be similar to that of Big Brother in China today.
This will be in the camp, after answering the phone, Zhang Nan went to the edge of the excavated tunnel, and the guys were there.
"What's the situation?"
It was Xiang Weirong who asked the question, he knew that the call was from the freighter, and he saw that his brother-in-law was in a good mood, because it should not be bad news.
"Our big shark ran into a pirate ship of Indonesian monkeys and scared them away with a single machine-gun shot. ”
The people on the side also heard the boss's words, and they really didn't expect that there was such a thing as a pirate ship - it was almost the 90s of the 20th century, and this profession that existed thousands of years ago really had a long life.
The matter of pirates is put aside, and there is no too much entanglement, and today's pirates are no longer the cattle that can fight against naval cruisers in the Age of Discovery, or they help poor ghosts and stragglers. Encountering the "Big Shark", those pirates can go back alive can be regarded as burning incense.
For everyone, it's the hole in front of you that matters.
An hour ago, when the tunnel mouth was dug up, Qiu Bo tested it with a poison detector, and there was no problem inside—the chemical weapons incident some time ago caused a little worry.
The entrance of this tunnel is not as large as before, and it is only about 22.5 meters high, and the width is less than 2 meters.
Cuenca moved the excavator out of the way, and a group of people performed their duties, with Chen Hao and Qiu Bo standing in front of the station to enter first.
There are also steel blast doors inside, but they are strangely closed and not locked.
Turn on the re-ventilation equipment: This time, Zhang Nan did not enter with a few guys who played at the front station, but waited outside.
An hour later, the two of them came out.
"Boss, this is supposed to be an arms warehouse, there are two forks in the road, and there are many rooms, all unlocked. One of the warehouses contained gold, while others kept a lot of weapons and ammunition.
There are a lot of boxes, not looking at them all. ”
Xiang Weirong immediately asked Qiu Bo: "Is there a danger of explosion?"
"It's not a big problem, all the ammunition packaging is still intact, and the inside is relatively dry. We've taken a few apart, and there's no danger for the time being. ”
As a group of people walked into the tunnel, they soon discovered that the tunnel had been blown up in relative haste and concealed: there were still plenty of ammunition boxes piled up on both sides of the tunnel, and even some rifles had been discarded haphazardly.
The tunnel was very deep, and I saw that many ammunition boxes were originally opened, and a lot of ammunition was scattered.
Some of the bullets on the five-shot bridge clips scattered on the ground have grown green rust, and the inside of the box is in good condition because it is still protected by a cardboard box.
Qiu Bo, who came first, opened a box, and the rifle bullets in it were still shiny, and they could be used when they were stuffed into the chamber.
Guan Xingquan said as he walked: "On February 3, 45, the U.S. army began to attack Manila, and the Japanese naval forces stationed in Manila resisted desperately, and the two sides fought for four weeks in street fighting alone.
After capturing Manila, U.S. forces attacked southwest and southeast of Luzon, capturing Baguio, the seat of Yamashita Bongbun's headquarters, in late April.
After that, the Japanese army retreated into the mountains to conduct guerrilla warfare, and it was not until September 3 that Yamashita Fengfumi signed the surrender in Baguio City.
It is possible that these munitions were temporarily discarded after the American occupation of Baguio, and the Japanese troops, who planned to persist in fighting guerrillas, took only the most basic light weapons and equipment, not even the barreled artillery. ”
There are Type 92 infantry guns in the tunnel, and there are still a lot of shells, and this super light infantry gun is sealed and hidden, and it is estimated that the Japanese army has reached the point where it completely needs to rely on manpower and animal power to fight.
Xiang Weirong has a different point of view, "Not necessarily, the total weight of the Type 92 infantry gun is only 212 kilograms, and it can be easily transported by dismantling the mule, and the manpower can be carried on its back."
In other words, I am the commander of the Japanese army, and I will not give up this super useful equipment until I have to. ”
The 70mm infantry gun is more effective than the mortar, and there are also two-phase box shaped armor-piercing shells, a new type of ammunition that was only available to the Pacific Theater troops in the late war, which can even threaten the US medium tanks, and the little devils should not abandon it.
Mortars can't deal with tanks in general!
Xiang Weirong is also reasonable: the weapons in the tunnel are damaged and intact, and it is possible that the US military will have to temporarily abandon the supplies and deliberately hide them after 8.15.
I didn't pay attention to the weapons and equipment in the warehouse outside, and walked directly inside under Qiu Bo's lead.
On the left side of the fork, the entrance to the innermost warehouse was covered with a thin steel plate, because it should have not had time to install the door, and a flashlight was used to shine into the gap - a piece of gold shining.
For the golden guys already have immunity, after the inspection, they moved away from the iron plate, and Zhang Nan went in and took a look.
Almost all of them are single 12.5 kg standard gold bricks, with a purity of 99.9, "the most in 100 tons." ”
As soon as he heard Zhang Nan's words, Guan Xingquan pointed to Xia Mili and Lin Ming, "Count how many there are." ”
This trip is not intended to be shipped away immediately, let the gold stay here first.
Zhang Nan put the gold bricks back on the shelf and went out. This will make you more interested in the weapons of the little devils than in gold, such as the 38 big cover.
I can look everywhere: there is no 38 big cover at all, only a very small number of Type 99 rifles, and no 6.8 mm bullets have been found, all 7.7 mm bullets.
At the beginning, the devil didn't know what to think, and there were three kinds of 7.7 mm "rifle bullets" that could not be used universally: the bullets used in the Type 92 heavy machine gun and the bullets used in the Type 99 rifle and light machine gun were different in the cartridge case, and they could not be used universally.
Both types of bullets are found here, missing the kind used in the 7.7mm aviation machine guns of the third type of aircraft.
Three kinds of high-powered rifle cartridges from the same country, the same caliber, and the same period are produced at the same time, and they cannot be used for each other, and this thing is probably only done by the little devils of the dog day.
The brain was shot, this is to play to death the logistics agencies and the troops at the front!
An hour later, Zhang Nan's men really couldn't figure out when this place was closed.
"There was not a single grenadier or mortar under 90 mm, nor a single grenade, but there was a sophisticated Type 99 light machine gun, and a 92 heavy machine gun.
Even if you don't take the heavy machine guns with you, you have to bring them with you if you are still in excellent condition to fight guerrillas......"
Guan Xingquan, who spoke, couldn't figure out the situation, but he didn't get entangled, this would be just a "treasure hunt", not historical research, to see if there were any well-preserved Japanese weapons.
It doesn't matter what happened to those little devils in the first place.
The infantry equipment of the Japanese army in World War II seems to be very bad compared with Germany and the United States, but in fact, there are still many equipment that is very distinctive, such as their two 50mm grenadiers, which are very practical, and even the US military is hot.
There are also some Japanese military equipment that looks very strange, but decades have passed, and there are still many people who like it in the international collectibles market.
The price is small, for the sake of collecting.
It's not about its quality and price, it's about the special nature of these equipment - Zhang Nan just wants to get some little devil's World War II equipment, and he will also start to play with old guns, and he doesn't care about getting some old guns back.
At this time, Xiang Weirong patted the barrel of the 99-type 105mm mountain cannon and said, "Anan, do you want to bring these cannons back too?"
Zhang Nan nodded, "Put it in the manor or museum, and bring it up." ”
Xiang Weirong has no problem with this somewhat unreliable brother-in-law, not to mention that there are red-clothed cannons in the Ming Dynasty in the villa of Yan County, and even the headquarters of Johnson Company is a big iron cannon to ward off evil, and it has become the scenery of Dao County.
"The cannon doesn't matter, you don't play with the shells, and when the time comes, let Chen Hao and them deal with a few inert shells for you to fill the façade. ”
"Don't worry, I'm afraid of exploding. ”
There are a lot of shells here, and the preservation should be good, and I feel that it should still be usable.
But Zhang Nan is not crazy, and he will not get a cannon from World War II and stuff it with a cannonball more than 40 years ago - that is called brain damage, not a player.
The two studied Japanese artillery, and there were not only 105 mm guys in the storeroom, but also 75 mm guys.
Suddenly, Lin Man's voice came from the door of the warehouse next to him: "Randy, it's powerful enough! Let me try it too..."
The tone was exaggerated, Zhang Nan signaled, and the two of them arrived at the door with his brother-in-law.
knew that Randy Gordon must have found something very exciting, otherwise Lin Man would not be in this tone, and there was also Shamili on the side who was also coaxing.
This time I went out, and I saw Randy holding a very powerful "machine gun".
"Damn, Randy, what is this?"
Zhang Nan seemed to have some impressions in his mind, but he couldn't call it famous.
The "machine gun" is also too big, several times larger than the Barrett M82A1 anti-material rifle that he ordered at the New York Small Arms Exhibition.
This shouldn't be for normal people, Randy, who is 1.96 meters tall, feels like a child playing with a big gun when he holds this gun, which is uncoordinated!
Definitely two meters long, a stout bipod with a huge magazine on it, it felt like a Type 99 machine gun magnified several times over.
Guys, it's going to feel like it's not going to be Randy, it's even the New York Knicks' gorilla Patrick Ewing who has a lot of fun with it.
Zhang Nan is more: Not to mention Ewing, it is not coordinated between the future O'Neill and the super center of the Soviet team, who just won the Olympic basketball championship this year, and the two-meter-21 tall Avidas Sabonis to take this gun.
Da Yao?
That buddy wouldn't be much better if he took this in 20 years: it looked like a weapon for an ancient beast three meters tall.
Randy hugged the big guy, and was reluctant to put it down, and said: "Boss, this thing is extremely rare, good thing! The little devil's Type 97 20mm automatic cannon, with a total length of 2.06 meters, a barrel of 1.25 meters long, and a weight of 59 kilograms, I don't know if this one has been modified in fully automatic mode."
The ammunition is a specially developed 20X124 mm high-power artillery shell, which is much longer than the 20 mm machine gun shell on the little devil plane. ”
Well, this is a door gun, not a gun as it is customary, but clearly an infantry weapon, not an artillery thing, which can also be called an anti-tank gun.
Zhang Nan knew that the length of the shells of the 20 mm aircraft shells used by the Japanese army in World War II aircraft was generally 72 mm and 82 mm, and the 101 mm was still a relatively failed design.
And the shell shell used in this "individual cannon" has a shell case of 124 mm, and everyone knows that the initial velocity of this thing is fast, and the recoil is estimated to be terrifying!
The muzzle brake looks more like a flame suppressor, and this little devil with a small physique won't be knocked away?
Randy put the cannon on the ground, "Boss, there are two more guns in it, and there are still several boxes of cannonballs, the original ones are alive, I think they can still be used."
This model should be in a damaged museum, but it can still be used, and there are few in the world, let alone cannonballs......"
Everyone looked surprised, and Zhang Nan also went to try it: almost 120 catties, if the magazine was full of shells, it would be even heavier!
Randy knows a lot about it, and has probably seen it before, or seen it in a museum. This crackled and said, and everyone also understood what kind of cannon this thing was: it was designed to be used primarily for anti-tank purposes.
It was finalized in 1937, with a 7-round magazine feed, semi-automatic firing, and the muzzle velocity of the shell was 750 to 850 meters per second, depending on the type of shell.
In the thirties, it was enough to use it against the world's mainstream light tanks: it could penetrate 30 mm of armor at 220 meters, 25 mm at 420 meters, and 20 mm at 700 meters.
Randy was elated when he first discovered it, not only because of its size and bizarreness, but also because of its production: the Type 97 20mm automatic cannon began to be produced at the Kokura Arsenal in 1938, and finally when the Little Devil was defeated, the total production was only 1,200 units.
In the South Seas, this automatic gun was also converted to anti-aircraft guns, a new anti-aircraft gun mount was created, and the gun itself was changed to fully automatic fire.
The caliber of the Type 97 anti-tank automatic rifle gun has reached the limit of the body-barreled weapons that the infantry can carry, that is, it is at the critical point of two types of weapons: guns and artillery.
It looks like a gun, and it's also a cannon, which is its strangeness.
Moreover, after the surrender of the little devils, from November 1945, the US troops occupying the mainland of the little devils poured about 800,000 tons of various ammunition and weapons into the Seto Inland Sea, including 40,000 grenadiers and 14,500 large-caliber artillery......
The production of this automatic cannon itself was not large, and with the consumption of the war, very few were kept until the end of the war, and all those left in the homeland were thrown into the sea.
This will Zhang Nan remember: There seems to be this thing in the museum in the capital, but some parts are missing from the defective goods, and even the pull handle is gone.
As soon as he said, Randy said, "Some of the museums in the United States were dug up from Iwo Jima later, and they were all embroidered to death."
Boss, if this guy shows up at the American Rifle Association event and fires a few more shots, it's a god!"
Well, Randy learned this from Kim.
