Chapter Ninety-Three: I Request to Continue the Test Launch

When Ding Yonggang gave an order to the radio, Qian Aimin, who was waiting at the artillery position, gave an order, and seven or eight soldiers quickly rushed to their battle positions, shaking the rotary handle on the Type 59 130mm cannon, and the straight barrel began to rise slowly

Originally, after Wang Chuanchen arrived at the shooting range, he wanted Lu Jiadong and Liu Liang to inspect the 130mm bottom-row grenade ready for testing, but what he didn't expect was that the chief of the general command gave the order for test firing so quickly, which caught him off guard and made him even more anxious. Chasing the reckless wasteland, you have to be quick.

Ding Yonggang, who had finished giving the order at this time, turned his head, and Wang Chuanchen's anxious gaze coincided, and under the four eyes, Ding Yonggang threw a contemptuous smile at Wang Chuanchen, which seemed to say, I see, you don't have time to prepare, I see what you should do next!

Seeing Ding Yonggang's disdainful eyes and the slowly rising barrel, Wang Chuanchen's fist couldn't help but slam his thigh a few times, and the words were squeezed out from between his teeth word by word;

"Xiao Lu, you have to hurry!"

As soon as Wang Chuanchen's words fell, he saw Lu Jiadong and Liu Liang hurriedly coming over, Wang Chuanchen couldn't help but stand up excitedly, but before he could ask, he saw Liu Liang shaking his head helplessly at him, seeing this, Wang Chuanchen knew that the plan to check the shells was not completed at all, so he leaned back, dejected to the chair behind him, and said with concern on his lips:

"Can these bullets be made without inspection?"

Lu Jiadong, who was sitting in the seat, of course heard Wang Chuanchen's words, but he was not as depressed as Wang Chuanchen, but said lightly with a confident smile:

"Don't worry, Director Wang, our 130mm bottom-row grenade won't let you down!"

Listening to Lu Jiadong's words, Wang Chuanchen couldn't help frowning:

"I hope so!"

In fact, the person frowning was not only Wang Chuanchen, who was far away in the artillery observation post in the target area, Lu Weijun was also frowning, but unlike Wang Chuanchen, Lu Weijun was not worried at all about whether the so-called bottom row grenade could show its due performance, but worried about whether the position of his observation post was too far away.

Speaking of which, in his heart, he doesn't think that the so-called new ammunition can hit far, is it necessary to set up such a far observation post, if their shells are close, not only will it affect their target designation, but there will also be deviations in the data calculation of the distance and landing point of the shells, so that the gains will outweigh the losses, although Lu Weijun thinks so in his heart, but still according to the requirements of the general commander, set up artillery observation posts at the specified places, but the doubts in his heart have never been eliminated!

Just when Lu Weijun was using the artillery mirror to observe the target area, the voice of Qian Aimin, who was operating in the artillery position, suddenly sounded on the communication radio:

"Please show directions!"

Hearing this call, Lu Weijun immediately came to his senses, then put his eyes on the artillery mirror and quickly confirmed the target that was about to be hit, then grabbed the microphone and shouted loudly:

"Target No. 105, charge No. 1, the bottom row grenade instantaneous delay fuse, 0-04 to the right, one shot at a time, put!"

Lu Weijun's voice quickly spread to the artillery position with the radio waves, and then through the loudspeaker that was connected, the commanders and chiefs who were present at the scene could hear it clearly, of course, Qian Aimin, who was operating the artillery, heard it more clearly, so he raised the small red flag and repeated loudly:

"Target No. 105, 0-04 to the right, No. 1 charge, instantaneous delayed fuse of the bottom row grenade!" With Qian Aimin's order, the soldier in charge of aiming quickly adjusted the angle of the gun and the scale on the gun sight; the soldier in charge of loading quickly pushed a 130mm bottom row grenade into the gun chamber, and then filled the cartridge filled with the No. 1 propellant and closed the gun latch.

The whole process of adjusting and filling the artillery officers and men cooperated with each other and was natural, and each of them was like a mechanical part, and they completed their own tasks quickly and rigorously, and because of this, the entire process of adjusting and filling was very fast, and it was all over in just one or two seconds.

Seeing that the operation was completed, Qian Aimin quickly lowered the red flag in his hand and let out an earth-shattering roar:

"Put!"

"Boom~~!" With a deafening sound, the body barrel of the Type 59 130mm gun was rapidly compressed backwards, and then the entire gun body was pushed backwards, and the support frame of the gun was also shaken to the smoke and dust, and the muzzle of the gun was even more flames, and a 130mm ammunition flew from the muzzle to the target area with a roar of breaking sound.

The scene of artillery firing was so shocking that at the moment when the shell flew out of the muzzle, the entire observation scene was silent, and only the wanton roar of the Type 59 130mm cannon could be heard, and Liu Liang, who saw the artillery shooting for the first time, was even more excited to get up from his seat, and his excitement was beyond words.

But before the people present could recover from the cannon fire just now, the voice of Lu Weijun indicating the target came from the loudspeaker again:

"Target No. 106, charge No. 2, the bottom row grenade instantaneous delay fuse, 0-02 to the left, one shot at a time, release!"

After receiving the target instructions, Qian Aimin and the others adjusted more quickly than the first time, and the reload was completed in the blink of an eye, followed by another earth-shattering roar, and the second cannonball followed closely behind the first one, rushing towards the target

After the firing of the two shells was completed, no more orders were received from the position to fire, but the leaders of the general commanders at this time all showed a long-lost sense of expectation on their faces, because they knew that it would not be long before the range and accuracy of the two shells would be reported through the artillery observation post, and it would be clear at a glance whether this new shell was long-range or not.

Because of this, Wang Chuanchen, who was sitting on the side of the viewing platform, looked even more nervous, and his hands that were originally flat on his knees couldn't help but clench into fists tightly at this time, and Lu Jiadong, who was sitting next to him, did not have the confident expression he had before, but frowned and looked at the artillery position in front of him thoughtfully, Liu Liang saw Lu Jiadong and Wang Chuanchen's expressions, and knew that maybe the performance of the cannonballs was not very good, so his face also became sad.

Unlike Wang Chuanchen and Lu Jiadong, who were nervous or contemplative, Ding Yonggang, who was sitting in the command radio position, looked relaxed, and from time to time wanted to take a look at Wang Chuanchen's seat, and saw the ugly expressions of the so-called developers, Ding Yonggang's face couldn't help but show a faint smile, and then he thought about the excerpt from "Sha Jiabang", and knocked it rhythmically on the table with his fingers

As relaxed as Ding Yonggang, there is also Lu Weijun in the artillery observation post, to be more accurate, his mood should be more relaxed than Ding Yonggang, because when the first shell landed, he used the artillery mirror to see clearly, although the results of the calculation have not yet come out, but with many years of practical experience in artillery, Lu Weijun knows that the shooting accuracy of the first shell is not to be said, but in terms of range, it is not much stronger than the original shell, it can be said that there is no difference between the two at all!

Immediately the second shell also fell, and the effect of the first shell was similar in range, that is, with the same charge and firing angle, the new shell did not differ much from the old one!

"Staff Officer Lu, the result is out!"

"How much?" Hearing the words of the soldier next to him, Lu Weijun's tone seemed a little impatient!

"The range of charge 1 shell is 74 km, the range of charge 2 shell is 152 km, the impact point is in the area, no problem!"

"74 km, 152 km!" As soon as the soldier's voice fell, a sneer appeared on the corner of Lu Weijun's mouth: "This is Lu Jiadong's so-called long-range grenade? Hmph, what a big joke!"

As soon as Lu Weijun blurted out the words, Ding Yonggang's voice sounded in the radio headset: "03, 03, I am 01, please report the shooting situation! Repeat, 03, 03"

Hearing the call of the command radio, Lu Weijun grabbed the walkie-talkie without saying a word, and reported loudly: "01, 01, I am 03, now I will inform you of the shooting situation"

When the shooting data reported by Lu Weijun was broadcast in real time through the loudspeaker, all the observers present lowered their heads and whispered, knowing that the people who came here to observe were all veterans of the battlefield, and they knew clearly the range of the Type 59 130mm cannon in various states.

Because of this, when they heard the two ranges of 74 and 152, they naturally knew that there was no difference between this so-called new bottom-row bomb and the old-fashioned 130mm grenade, so much so that they began to question the authenticity of the 130mm bottom-row bomb! These observers knew very well that the commander-in-chief, who was a veteran general on the battlefield, understood it very well.

So when he heard the report on the shooting of the shells, he couldn't help but slap the table fiercely: "Wang Chuanchen, this is the long-range grenade you made? At this distance, I can hit it even with an iron bump, what is the use of your bullshit long-range grenade, Wang Chuanchen, you come out and explain the matter clearly to Lao Tzu, Wang Chuanchen!"

The chief of the general finger roared angrily and slapped the table in front of him, so that the tea on the table was splashed all over the table by a powerful vibration, but even so, no one dared to step forward to persuade the hot-tempered old general, and Wang Chuanchen was even more frightened and pale, hiding in his seat and not knowing what to do.

Just when Wang Chuanchen was thinking about how to face the chief commander, Lu Jiadong suddenly stood up from his seat, and then Wang Chuanchen's ears suddenly sounded a burst of words that were full of energy and full of confidence:

"Chief, I beg to keep shooting!"

ps: Yuzu all kinds of begging, asking for collections, asking for recommendations, asking for rewards in the faceless and skinless, anyway, all the ones you can ask for, hehe, I hope the brothers and sisters don't hit the grapefruit face!
