Chapter Ninety-Two: The Test Begins
Although Ding Yonggang's preface does not match the afterword, it sounds very illogical at first glance, but Lu Weijun, who was promoted by Ding Yonggang, understands what he means as an old chief.
Because Lu Weijun knew that for a long time, Ding Yonggang was very reluctant to certain so-called advanced weapons and equipment, and felt that the most important thing in determining the outcome of a war was the number and spiritual will of the troops, and even more so the belief that the strength of the number of people was greatly cited as the creed of leading and leading the troops, and Ding Yonggang's theory naturally also affected Lu Weijun.
Because of this, Lu Weijun is not optimistic about the long-range grenade developed by Lu Jiadong, in addition to the hasty development time, in his opinion, there is no need for this at all, as long as there is enough number and a huge number of personnel to support, coupled with an indestructible will, these so-called Su Xiu sharp weapons are all paper tigers.
Based on this kind of thinking, Lu Weijun was very disgusted with this test, in his opinion, instead of working this kind of useless thing, it is better to pull the independent artillery regiment to the battlefield to fight a real battle, thinking of this, Lu Weijun's face couldn't help flashing a trace of disdain:
"This Lu Jiadong, I see what moth he can come up with tomorrow!"
After speaking, Lu Weijun cleaned up the manuscript on the table, then leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes, and after a while, there was a faint snoring sound in the room
In the early morning of the next day, the boulevard leading to the shooting range of the artillery regiment was extraordinarily quiet, the green in the eyes, the pleasant birdsong, and the thin mist made this quiet and a little more mysterious, making people look at it, all have a feeling of lingering, but it didn't take long for the roar of the vehicles to completely break the quiet, and then I saw a vehicle carrying personnel and equipment, galloping past the road, towards the artillery range not far away.
Because of the long distance, the officers and men sitting on the artillery tractor sang loud military songs from time to time, and in the jeeps that followed, the leaders of the general commander also talked and laughed with each other in order to dispel the boredom of the long journey.
However, not all cars can burst into hearty laughter, no, in the middle of this long convoy, in the bright army green 212 jeep, several people are sinking like water, and they can't say a word for a long time.
"Xiao Lu, you also know the situation, yesterday I made a guarantee in front of the chief commander, if this test is not successful, we will be punished as the lightest, so I ask you again, how sure are our 130mm bottom row grenades?"
Since arriving at the station of the Independent Artillery Regiment early in the morning, Wang Chuanchen's words have not been asked to Lu Jiadong many times, logically speaking, Wang Chuanchen is not a mother-in-law, the reason for the matter all started from the meeting of the general commander on the front line last night, just when Lu Jiadong was busy helping Qian Aimin to return the bullet, Wang Chuanchen was also arguing at the meeting of the general commander.
The object of the argument is none other than Ding Yonggang, chief of staff of the General Command Artillery Command, who came to live with the Independent Artillery Regiment last night, and the focus of the dispute is whether the so-called long-range bottom-row grenade developed by Lu Jiadong is feasible or not, and Ding Yonggang's point of view is very clear, that is, this so-called new ammunition is not advisable at all, and it is better to save time and pull the Independent Artillery Regiment to the front line, so as to enhance our army's artillery support capability.
Wang Chuanchen refuted Ding Yonggang's behavior of looking down on new things, and made it clear that artillery shells with higher firing range can not only suppress the enemy more effectively, but also greatly reduce the casualties of our officers and men.
Wang Chuanchen is also an artillery temper, so he can stand this, and in a fit of anger, he stood up directly and pointed at Ding Yonggang's nose, saying that his approach was to ignore human life and treat the lives of soldiers as child's play, after listening to Wang Chuanchen's words, Ding Yonggang couldn't stand it, and slapped the table and scolded Wang Chuanchen for drinking tea and reading newspapers in the office all day long, and the so-called ghost hair's bottom row grenade didn't even have the strength to fart, how could it be possible to increase the range
The two of them can be said to be at the tip of a needle, the more noisy they became, the more fierce they became, and they even rolled up their arms and prepared to stage an all-out military parade, but the deputy chief of general staff of the front-line general command who presided over the meeting could not control the situation at all, so he could only let his guards ask the chief of the general command to come over.
After learning of this, he came to the venue without saying a word, and when he saw the chief of the general command coming, Wang Chuanchen and Ding Yonggang did not dare to quarrel anymore, and the chief of the general command did not calm down his anger because of this, and threw two teacups on the spot and scolded four "damn bastards".
Then he pointed at Ding Yonggang and shouted: "In the follow-up battle, if the artillery can't suppress the Vietnamese artillery, you don't wear this military uniform again!" Then he glared at Wang Chuanchen and continued to roar:
"And you, if you don't pass the test tomorrow, it's the same, don't wear the military uniform on your body!"
He always pointed out that the prestige of the chief in the army was extremely high, and when he said this, neither Wang Chuanchen nor Ding Yonggang dared to refute half a sentence, so they could only stand up straight and shout in unison:
"Yes!"
It is precisely because of the words of the chief that Ding Yonggang rushed to the independent artillery regiment overnight after the meeting, and although Wang Chuanchen arrived this morning, he couldn't wait to find Lu Jiadong as soon as he landed, and asked him how much he could grasp the extended range of the improved 130mm bottom-row grenade, after all, as the person in charge of the joint research team, Wang Chuanchen knew very well that this artillery shell had not undergone any design tests, and because of this, he was very bottomless in his heart, so he asked Lu Jiadong the same question again and again!
After listening to Wang Chuanchen's words, Lu Jiadong did not answer immediately, but Liu Liang, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, said first: "Director Wang, you also know that the shells we modified and developed have not been tested at all, how can we draw conclusions for you about the specific situation!"
"This" Liu Liang said that Wang Chuanchen didn't know about the situation, but thinking about the angry eyes of the chief last night, Wang Chuanchen couldn't help but shudder:
"Even if it hasn't been tested, we have to guarantee success today, this is the order of the chief!"
"This is too difficult, isn't it!" As soon as Wang Chuanchen's words fell, Liu Liang looked at Lu Jiadong who was sitting next to Wang Chuanchen with a sad face.
At this time, Lu Jiadong was facing the car window, looking at the hurried scenery outside the window, as if the conversation between Wang Chuanchen and Liu Liang had nothing to do with him, seeing Lu Jiadong like this, Wang Chuanchen couldn't help but be very anxious, pulled Lu Jiadong's arm with his hand, and said in an eager tone:
"Xiao Lu, this is all burning eyebrows, you are still in the mood to look at the scenery, you can say something, are you sure about our 130mm bottom row grenade!"
After listening to Wang Chuanchen's words, Lu Jiadong came back to his senses from the scenery full of mountains outside the window, and then looked at Wang Chuanchen with a faint smile:
"Director Wang, I've said it many times, you really don't have to worry so much!"
Lu Jiadong did say this sentence to Wang Chuanchen many times, but what Wang Chuanchen wanted was not a fluttering "don't worry so much" sentence, what he wanted was a definite, definite and affirmative answer, because of this, when Lu Jiadong replied again and again, he was still not at ease.
"Xiao Lu, what I want is an affirmative answer, you tell me not to worry, how can I be relieved!"
In fact, Lu Jiadong didn't know Wang Chuanchen's thoughts, but he didn't know how to explain it, because the person in charge of the joint research team was Wang Chuanchen, and Wang Chuanchen knew very well the basic principle, structural performance, theoretical data and manufacturing process of the 130mm bottom-row grenade, and since it was all clear, Lu Jiadong had no way to explain it at all.
However, unlike Wang Chuanchen, Lu Jiadong is still very confident in the technical performance of the 130mm bottom-row grenade, because of this, when Wang Chuanchen asked worriedly again, Lu Jiadong threw an indifferent and confident smile to him, and his full confidence also made Lu Jiadong's voice louder:
"Don't worry, Director Wang, our 130mm bottom-row grenade will be like a Type 78 assault rifle, and it won't disappoint you!" After speaking, Lu Jiadong stared at Wang Chuanchen's puzzled eyes again, patted his arm and continued:
"Please trust me!"
Wang Chuanchen looked at Lu Jiadong's confident eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned, and the worry in his heart was also alleviated a lot, and then he couldn't help but nod lightly, but even so, his strong and powerful heart was still unusual
In this way, after another journey, Lu Jiadong and his men finally arrived at the artillery range, and at this time the artillery range was already ready, and a group of artillery observation detachments led by Lu Weijun himself, with telescopes, tripods, artillery mirrors, special maps, a contact radio and other artillery observation equipment, set off early in the morning, and set up artillery observation posts at a distance from the artillery landing point, so as to guide the artillery firing and report the projectile impact situation.
At this time, Lu Weijun's eyes were fixed on the target area that had already been set, holding a walkie-talkie in one hand and a headset in the other, with his ears erected high, waiting for the start command coming out of the headset.
At the same time, on the simple observation seat next to the launch position, the chief commander and other leaders of the front-line general command were already seated, and the chief of the general command took a telescope to look at the 130mm cannon that had already been deployed in the center of the position, and followed the person next to him and said:
"Tell Xiao Ding, let him start!"
After receiving the order, Ding Yonggang activated the walkie-talkie, and his decisive voice sounded from the position where the loudspeaker had already been turned on:
"Test begins!"
