Chapter 250: Systematic Operations
"Xiao Lu!" Hearing Lu Jiadong's words, Guo Qingshan, deputy chief of staff of the G Military Region, looked at the new artillery on the firing position with a puzzled look, then looked at Lu Jiadong in front of him, and said in surprise:
"Judging from the current state of use, the performance of this new 52 times caliber 155mm howitzer has surpassed the large-caliber artillery in service of our army!
As soon as Guo Qingshan's words fell, Qian Aimin, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, Chief Master Lu, I am an artilleryman myself, from my personal point of view, this artillery is a great artillery no matter which angle you look at, how?"
"By the way, Xiao Lu, is there something wrong with the test data just now?" Without waiting for Qian Aimin to finish speaking, Wang Chuanchen, head of the leading group for the development of new artillery and director of the Weapons Planning Division of the General Staff Armament Department, who was standing next to him, asked worriedly, because at this time he suddenly remembered the series of test data just now, after all, the test launch of new artillery had failed before.
Now a trace of helplessness flashed on Lu Jiadong's face, Wang Chuanchen, who had the same experience, naturally thought about this in his mind, and Wang Chuanchen's words also reminded Guo Qingshan and Qian Aimin who were present, so that the originally puzzled faces of the two were also shrouded in a worried look, and Guo Qingshan, who was anxious, couldn't hold back his worried eyes and looked at Lu Jiadong in front of him, and asked anxiously:
"Xiao Lu, there can't really be any problems, right?"
Lu Jiadong didn't expect that it would be a humble word, which would cause several people present to be so nervous, but it is reasonable to think about the thoughts of Wang Chuanchen and others, after all, the new artillery has experienced failure in the first test, if it is not satisfactory, it is easy to make people associate it with a bad place, after realizing this situation, Lu Jiadong hurriedly explained with a smile to the three officers in front of him:
"There is nothing wrong with the new artillery itself! The main reason for saying this is to think that any weapon and equipment has obvious advantages, but at the same time, it will also be accompanied by certain shortcomings, and I am thinking about how to work hard to improve it in the future!"
listened to Lu Jiadong's words. Wang Chuanchen, who had a melancholy face, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, looking at Lu Jiadong's eyes while appreciating it, but also revealing a hint of blame:
"You little Lu, why didn't you say it earlier, it really scared me!" he said. Wang Chuanchen pretended to be angry and continued half-jokingly:
"Let's talk about it, let's not take it as an example!"
As soon as Wang Chuanchen's words fell, Qian Aimin, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but nod in agreement, while Lu Jiadong wanted to explain with the same smile as always, but he didn't wait for him to speak. But he felt that there was something wrong with Guo Qingshan who was directly opposite, and he didn't know why he was not as relieved as Wang Chuanchen after listening to his words, but a pair of sword eyebrows moved closer to the middle.
made a deep "Chuan" word formed at the center of the eyebrows, and the original gaze was also condensed, and the black pupils showed a contemplative look, as if they were full of thoughts, standing there motionless, not only Lu Jiadong found Guo Qingshan's changes, Wang Chuanchen and Qian Aimin standing beside him also felt a little unusual, and Wang Chuanchen, who was at the same level as Guo Qingshan, patted Guo Qingshan's shoulder at this time. Asked with concern:
"Chief of Staff Guo, what's the matter?
"It's nothing!" was asked by Wang Chuanchen, the pensive Guo Qingshan immediately came back to his senses and waved his hand with an unnatural smile, but then the smile on his face disappeared, and the brows that had just been soothed were wrinkled again, and then he asked Lu Jiadong on the opposite side puzzled:
"There is no problem with the new artillery itself, but I heard it very clearly just now, Xiao Lu said that this artillery is still unsatisfactory, so I want to ask. What exactly is this unsatisfactory about, and what should be used if it is to be perfected?
"Chief Wang~~Chief Lu~~~" Before Guo Qingshan finished asking, he heard bursts of excited shouts from below the high ground, which made Lu Jiadong, Guo Qingshan and others standing on the high ground can't help but follow the prestige. I saw Hu Qinghua with irrepressible excitement on his face, and quickly ran towards the high ground, shouting excitedly as he ran:
"50 kilometers~~ Chief Wang! Chief Lu! a full 50 kilometers!"
Listening to Hu Qinghua's words, several people present were a little confused, and at this time, Hu Qinghua had already run to everyone. Seeing this, Guo Qingshan, who was anxious, also put aside the question just now, looked at Hu Qinghua, who had just run over, his face was flushed with exhaustion, and his breathing was even more wheezing, and asked suspiciously:
"Xiaohu, what 50 km?"
"Ah, Chief Guo is also coughing cough" Hearing someone next to him ask, Hu Qinghua couldn't help but raise his head and take a look, only to see that it was Guo Qingshan, as early as when developing a new portable bazooka, Hu Qinghua and Guo Qingshan had already met, and now acquaintances, Hu Qinghua's face was happy but very unnatural smile, and he wanted to speak, but his rapid breathing made him say this sentence before he could fully say it, so he began to cough violently, Lu Jiadong saw this and quickly stepped forward and patted Hu Qinghua's back with his hand:
"What is the joy of running so fast"
"It's really a happy thing, and it's a great happy event!" After Lu Jiadong patted a few times, Hu Qinghua eased up, but the strenuous exercise and the cough just now made Hu Qinghua's originally white face become like a big red apple, but at this time, where could Hu Qinghua take care of these little things, and once again with an extremely excited look, he said excitedly to the few people in front of him:
"I just received the Lu Weijun, who was in charge of target indication and explosion observation at the front, and the army representative reported that the maximum range of the three shells just now reached 50 kilometers!"
"50 km! Our new jujube nucleus-shaped rocket range extender bomb?"
"That's right, it's our newly developed new jujube core-shaped rocket range extender bomb!" Facing Wang Chuanchen's surprised eyes, Hu Qinghua continued with an excited smile:
"In addition to the newly developed jujube nucleus rocket range extender projectile, the three shells fired just now also include ordinary grenades and jujube nucleated grenades, of which the maximum range of jujube nucleated grenades reaches 42 kilometers, and even ordinary grenades reach 30 kilometers in a fully charged state!"
"My God, even ordinary ammunition has a maximum range of 30 kilometers?" As soon as Hu Qinghua's words fell, Qian Aimin, who was standing next to Guo Qingshan, his eyes widened instantly, and his bright pupils flashed extremely incredible, and even his tongue was a little unstraight when he spoke:
"Even ordinary artillery shells have such a range, then these artillery pieces that our army is currently equipped with can be retired immediately!"
"It shouldn't be so fast!" At this time, Hu Qinghua also returned to normal, but when he heard the praise, Hu Qinghua's face couldn't help but have a proud smile, a long-lost sense of superiority made his waist straighter than ever, and even the tone of his voice unconsciously revealed a strong self-confidence:
"The artillery will also undergo a series of tests, and if deficiencies are found, they will be refined"
Without waiting for Hu Qinghua to finish speaking, Qian Aimin couldn't wait to say: "I hope you will finish the test soon, the sooner such a good artillery is installed, the better!"
"You guys look at my hands are itchy, I can't wait to try this new cannon now, with such a rate of fire, such a range, it shouldn't be a problem to shoot a series of three shots at the same time!"
"Three shots with the same shot is definitely a small matter, if you train well, it won't be difficult to shoot with four shots!"
"Really?" Listening to Hu Qinghua's words, Qian Aimin couldn't believe it, so he looked at Lu Jiadong opposite with puzzled eyes, until Lu Jiadong nodded affirmatively, Qian Aimin patted his thigh excitedly:
"That's great, in this case, the firepower of an artillery battalion is stronger than that of an artillery reinforced regiment, chief, you can take a look and let me chief, you are?"
The more Qian Aimin spoke, the more excited he became, and his unbearable hands were rubbed back and forth in front of him, so he applied to Guo Qingshan beside him, wanting to go to the position to try the cannon in person, but before his words could be spoken, he stopped abruptly again, because Guo Qingshan's face was not half happy after listening to such a long range, but his brows were tightly locked and his face was gloomy.
This made Qian Aimin couldn't help but be taken aback, if Lu Jiadong and Wang Chuanchen showed calm after listening to the report on the range of artillery, Qian Aimin can still understand, after all, they participated in the development of new artillery and have a preliminary understanding of various performances.
But Guo Qingshan is different, he is here for the first time, and he doesn't know much about the performance of the new artillery, it stands to reason that he is not excited to hear such a long range, but he should also be happy, but now Guo Qingshan is because of this, Qian Aimin quickly dispelled the thoughts in his heart, but hurriedly asked anxiously, and Guo Qingshan did not answer Qian Aimin's words after listening to Qian Aimin's words, but raised his head and stared straight at Lu Jiadong in front of him:
"Xiao Lu, no matter how far the range of the artillery is, it is only an indicator, and the key depends on the actual effectiveness, so I am very interested in the unsatisfactory aspects of this artillery that you just said, I think with Xiao Lu, your advanced consciousness and long-term planning for the development of equipment should have a certain amount of preparation for this!"
After listening to Guo Qingshan's words, whether it was Wang Chuanchen, Hu Qinghua, and Qian Aimin, all present could not help but be there, what did Guo Qingshan's words mean? How did it sound like something else, when the people present were a little confused about Guo Qingshan's words, Lu Jiadong understood it, and not only that, he had a new understanding of Guo Qingshan and his entourage when they suddenly came to the test site to inspect, so Lu Jiadong showed a meaningful smile to Guo Qingshan, and then said without hesitation:
"At present, the most unsatisfactory thing about the new artillery is that it lacks systematic combat support and cannot play the maximum combat effect" (to be continued.) )
