Chapter Ninety-Six: The Gambler
The chief of the chief was so excited that he stood up, and the other people on the observation platform were even more shocked and incredulous: 38 km! Is this our Type 59 130mm cannon hit? What method did the cannon use just now to hit so far? Why was the first two times not obvious?
Countless questions began to slowly swell into my heart after excitement and incredulity, at first a few prescient people bowed their heads and discussed in private, but then more and more people joined in, so that finally the sound of discussion on the observation platform could be clearly heard in the artillery positions a hundred meters away. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]
But no matter how heated the discussion and questions were, there was one problem that could not be avoided, that is, Lu Jiadong, the developer of the 130mm bottom-row grenade, so everyone's eyes were like countless spotlights, gathering to a corner of the observation platform, turning this somewhat remote corner into the center of the entire scene in an instant, and the person standing at this center point was none other than Lu Jiadong.
At this time, Lu Jiadong also had a look of joy of success on his face, but his joy was nothing compared to Wang Chuanchen and Liu Liang next to him, when he got the preliminary range data from the tweeter, Liu Liang was like a spring on his buttocks, and jumped up from his seat in an instant, and then clenched his fists and waved wildly.
Although Wang Chuanchen did not fully release his feelings like Liu Liang, he was still so excited that his face was flushed, the green tendons on his forehead couldn't help jumping straight, and his hands on his knees were clenched into fists, he didn't expect this shell to be so obvious, let alone that it would hit an amazing range of 38 kilometers.
Because of this, in addition to his excitement and excitement, he was more relieved than others after being depressed for a long time, and his heart also had a long-lost lightness, and a smile on his face that he hadn't seen for a long time:
"Xiao Lu, we succeeded, 38 kilometers, 40% range increase, we succeeded!" After speaking, Wang Chuanchen's eyes glanced in the direction of Ding Yonggang, and his clenched fist hammered twice on his thigh, with a sneer on his face:
"Hmph! Who dares to say that our 130mm bottom-row grenades don't even have the strength to fart, then Lao Tzu has to let him taste the power of these fists!"
Although Wang Chuanchen was still haunted by Ding Yonggang's words, Ding Yonggang, who was standing in front of the command radio, had long had no time to care about these inconsequential things, and at this time he couldn't believe the facts in front of him at all, although the moment the shell burst out of the muzzle, he had an ominous throbbing.
But when he really received the report from the artillery observation post, the whole person, like many people, instantly stood up from his seat, but compared with the shocked, excited, or incredulous expressions of others, Ding Yonggang's expression can be described as petrified.
"This can't be, this is completely impossible!" Ding Yonggang, who stood in place for a long time, kept shaking his head, and his mouth was like chanting, in his opinion, this ammunition completely violated the common sense of artillery, how could a failed bullet that was completely indistinguishable from ordinary bullets in charge No. 1 and No. 2 could hit such a long range in a fully charged state.
Thinking of this, Ding Yonggang looked at the command radio in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but light up, he hurriedly grabbed the walkie-talkie, and shouted quickly and urgently:
"03, 03, I'm 01, please confirm the range again, the data deviation is too big, please confirm again!"
Lu Weijun in the artillery observation post on the other side of the radio had the same idea as Ding Yonggang, and he also hoped that the facts in front of him were not true, but the smoke and dust rising from the No. 112 target and the sound of the explosion made these old artillerymen in the observation post know that it was indeed a 130mm shell, and in the face of ironclad facts, Lu Weijun was irrefutable, and he was not alone in the observation post, and all records had to be archived for future reference, so even if he was reluctant, he had to report truthfully.
"38 km!" When the reconfirmed shout was transmitted to the observation site through the radio, Ding Yonggang was stunned and repeated the range distance, and his already somewhat dark face was even darker, and the gloomy one was about to drip water, this bullet was definitely a fluke, yes, yes, it was all a fluke, at this moment he suddenly remembered something, and then trotted in the direction of the chief commander
"Well, Xiao Ding is right, this shot really doesn't mean anything, then let the position shoot a few more rounds according to the range just now!"
Got the order of the commander-in-chief, Ding Yonggang is like getting a treasure, since the day he joined the army, he Ding Yonggang has never lost, and the conclusion has never been a big deviation, it is based on this, he firmly believes in his judgment, this 130mm bottom row grenade can not have such performance, the bullet just now is just the luck of those weaponists who found it in a flash, from the perspective of the large base, it is impossible for every shot to have such an effect, otherwise the No. 1 and No. 2 charges have not seen a significant increase in range!
It was precisely because of this that he went to the chief of the general command and suggested that he take a few more rounds to see if he wanted to test the reliability of the ammunition again, but in fact, he also had some concerns in the heart of the chief commander, after all, this round could not explain anything, so he agreed to Ding Yonggang's request.
"Damn, it's Ding Yonggang again, this old boy is playing tricks, Lao Tzu will teach him a lesson!" Seeing that Ding Yonggang walked down from the seat of the head of the general command, the news of continuing the test came out, Wang Chuanchen didn't think about it, so he rolled up his sleeves and was about to find Ding Yonggang to theorize, but before he could stand up, he was pulled by Lu Jiadong beside him:
"Director Wang, don't you think the facts are more convincing than our words?"
Listening to Lu Jiadong's words, Wang Chuanchen was stunned at first, but then laughed, after all, Wang Chuanchen at this time had long since lost his previous worries, and was full of confidence:
"Yes, facts speak louder than words, let him fight if he wants to, I'll see what else he has to say after that!"
Soon, the ground shook the ground and the sound of artillery bombardment sounded on the position again, this time Ding Yonggang also made a bloody investment, 5 rounds in a row in a fully charged state, but even if it was bloody, even if it was full of hope, but the iron-like fact was still like a basin of cold water in the ice day, ruthlessly poured on his head, and the range of 5 rounds of ammunition was all 38 kilometers!
Seeing this result, Ding Yonggang sat down in his seat in a dejected manner, and fine beads of sweat could not help but ooze from his forehead, he could not lose, he absolutely could not lose, and he had already been on top of that Wang Chuanchen at the meeting; if he lost, how would the higher-level leaders view him? How would the cadres of the same level view him? How would the subordinates view him? No matter what, he could not lose, yes! He could not lose! At this time, Ding Yonggang was like a gambler who had lost all his money, and walked again with red eyes towards the seat of the chief commander
"What? You say this bottom-row grenade still doesn't work? It's a mess!"
"Chief, as you saw before, the ammunition they developed had no effect at all under charge No. 1 and No. 2, the scope of application was not large at all, and those of them who didn't understand artillery couldn't do what the artillery wanted."
Coincidentally, at this time, Wang Chuanchen and Lu Jiadong received the order of the chief commander and rushed to the rostrum, Ding Yonggang's words fell word for word in Wang Chuanchen's ears, Wang Chuanchen as a soldier has a fiery temper unique to soldiers, and he has been patient with Ding Yonggang for a long time, and now after listening to Ding Yonggang's words, he can't bear it anymore, and he directly stepped forward, grabbed Ding Yonggang's collar and shouted:
"Ding Yonggang, you old rabbit cub, you went to the chief here to make a small report, you can't afford to lose!"
Ding Yonggang was stunned at first when Wang Chuanchen suddenly pulled the collar, but he quickly reacted and grabbed Wang Chuanchen's collar with his backhand:
"What? want to fight? Come on, you sit in the office, I can still be afraid of you, see if I don't today"
"Enough!"
Before Ding Yonggang finished speaking, the head of the general finger, who was already sinking like water, slapped the table suddenly, shaking the teacup on the table and bounced up stunned, and then fell to the ground rapidly, making a crisp sound of "popping", and then it fell apart!
And with the shattering of this teacup, Wang Chuanchen and Ding Yonggang also separated, and the people on the observation stage were even more silent, but before the chief commander continued to speak, Ding Yonggang, who was standing opposite him, didn't know where the courage came from, or instantly hit the chicken blood, and directly stepped forward and shouted to the chief commander:
"I'm not convinced!" he said, pointing at Lu Jiadong and Liu Liang: "How can they know what the artillerymen want?"
"Chief, I ask to personally manipulate the artillery to fire a few shots!" Before Ding Yonggang finished speaking, Lu Jiadong, who had already seen enough of Ding Yonggang's gambler's face on the side, couldn't help the restlessness in his heart and took a step forward, and asked the chief commander with a serious and serious expression.
"Xiao Lu, don't be reckless"
"Yes, Section Chief Lu, how can you manipulate artillery!" As soon as Lu Jiadong's voice fell, Wang Chuanchen and Liu Liang hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Lu Jiadong, after all, in their impression, they can shoot, but they have never heard of artillery, because of this, Wang Chuanchen and Liu Liang are worried that Lu Jiadong is enthusiastic for a while, so they said this, so they hurriedly persuaded him.
And Ding Yonggang next to him listened to Lu Jiadong's words, and couldn't help but let out a sneer: "Little ghost, I didn't expect you to be quite kind, thinking about fighting artillery, I see that your body is already burning incense if you are not stunned after hearing the cannon!"
"Chief, I beg you again for permission for me to operate the artillery!" Lu Jiadong didn't pay attention to Ding Yonggang's words, and didn't even look at him with a straight eye, as if there was a ball of air standing next to him, which made Ding Yong just lose face, but when he wanted to speak again, the chief finger raised his hand to stop him, and then the chief looked at Lu Jiadong, who was standing straight and upright in front of him, with a stern face and resolute eyes, and couldn't help but show a kind smile on his face:
"Have you ever learned how to operate a cannon?"
"Facts speak louder than words, how do you know without trying?"
"Well, that's good!" After listening to Lu Jiadong's words, the smile on the chief leader's face was a little better, and then pointed at Lu Jiadong and continued: "Just like when I was young, I have momentum, just rely on this to let you give it a try!"
With the permission of the head of the general finger, Lu Jiadong thanked the head of the general finger, then turned around, and just wanted to take a step but was pulled aside by Wang Chuanchen:
"Little Lu, it's no joke to manipulate artillery, you"
"Don't worry, Director Wang, please believe me!" Before Wang Chuanchen finished speaking, Lu Jiadong interrupted his words, and then showed him a confident smile, and Wang Chuanchen couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, but in this stunned effort, Lu Jiadong had already broken free of his wrist and walked towards the artillery position not far away xh118
