Chapter Ninety-Nine: Old Friends Reunited
Ding Yonggang, who was spread on the ground, was quickly picked up by the surrounding guards and soldiers, and then loaded into a jeep and left the test site silently.
However, no matter what Ding Yonggang's ending will be, it is difficult to attract the attention of the people on the scene, because their attention at this time is focused on the actual drill of Lu Jiadong's three shells landing at the same time.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~" roared out from three different angles, and it didn't take long for the forward artillery observation post to deliver the news:
"Hit 107 targets at a distance of 22 km, three shells landed at the same time, may I ask if the artillery positions are firing a multi-artillery salvo, repeat, hit 107 targets"
It was another near-perfect triple hit at the same time, and the army cadres who watched Lu Jiadong's manipulation at close range, after getting this result, they were even more excited, and they didn't wait for Lu Jiadong to recover from the roar of the cannonball, so they surrounded him in a swarm, and tried their best to ask him for the specific operation method of this new artillery technique!
In this way, unconsciously, the sun that originally hung on the east side of the hill gradually climbed to the center, which also meant that this artillery test, which was limited to one morning, was over, although many army cadres, especially many artillery officers, were still obsessed with the new artillery skills and were reluctant to go.
But now, after all, it is a wartime, and there are many operational things that need to be busy with these army cadres, and it is already rare to be able to spare a morning to participate in the artillery shell test, so even if they are reluctant to give up, these military commanders still resolutely step on the return car.
However, they did not return empty-handed, because Lu Jiadong promised them that he would give them a logarithmic table of artillery firing angles created by himself, and use this table to quickly find the corresponding firing angle, the type of ammunition required, and the model of the medicine pack according to the distance.
With this logarithmic table and the corresponding training, Lu Jiadong believes that our artillery will quickly master and apply the tactics of firing with this barreled artillery with multiple shells, so as to provide more powerful fire support in the upcoming next combat operation, so as to achieve the campaign goal while minimizing the casualties of our troops!
Of course, in addition to the tireless study of multi-ammunition and tactics, these army cadres are even more satisfied with the 130mm bottom-row grenade, which has a maximum range of 38 kilometers, and even the Soviet Union's 203mm long-range artillery cannot reach such a long range.
Therefore, even if the 203mm long-range artillery received by Vietnam is encountered on the battlefield, our army can effectively suppress Vietnam's long-range artillery by using the 130mm cannon of the 59th division with the 130mm bottom-row grenade.
Because of this, due to the excellent long-range performance of the 130mm bottom-row grenade and the reality that the troops urgently need, the commander-in-chief did not wait for the end of the test to draw up a telegram sent to the headquarters, the central idea is to hope that the military factories in the rear will go all out to produce 130mm bottom-row grenades, so that the troops can be equipped and used as soon as possible!
Of course, as the trump card of the front-line general headquarters, the independent artillery regiment stationed on the Sino-Vietnamese border is naturally prioritized, and therefore the independent artillery regiment also needs to be stationed in the border area for a few more days, in order to wait for the arrival of the bottom row grenade, and Lu Jiadong, as the representative of the military factory and the person in charge of the bottom row grenade, naturally has to stay in the independent artillery regiment in order to better observe the performance of the bottom row grenade and logistics maintenance!
In this way, Lu Jiadong and Liu Liang stayed in the Independent Artillery Regiment, while Wang Chuanchen, as the representative of the General Staff Armament Department stationed at the front, was stationed in the front headquarters; while Lu Jiadong was enjoying the pre-war calm on the Sino-Vietnamese border side, the military factories in the rear were in full swing and in full swing, and after receiving the telegram from the former commander, the headquarters quickly asked the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense to organize production.
After receiving the order, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense immediately mobilized several military factories to switch to the production of 130mm bottom-row grenades, and in a few days it produced enough bottom-row artillery shells for the independent artillery regiment to equip six bases
"Forward, forward, forward~~ Our team to the sun, towards victory"
On the mountain roads in the hinterland of Vietnam, trucks carrying Type 59 130mm cannons are running forward at full speed, and at the place where the vehicles pass, you will hear the loud military songs from time to time from inside the trucks, and the infantry marching on foot on both sides look at the trucks that are speeding by, all casting envious eyes.
But soon these infantry felt that something was wrong, because the Type 59 130mm cannon is generally equipped with specialized artillery divisions, and even so, the number of its equipment is only one regiment of 36 guns, and the cannon regiment in front of them has more than 50 guns, which makes the marching infantry can't help but stop and shout at the artillery on the truck:
"Which unit are you from?"
"Independent artillery regiment!"
"It turned out to be the trump card of the front headquarters, no wonder it was so arrogant!" The artilleryman on the car listened to the words of the infantryman, and was about to answer with a smug smile, but the truck that sat down did not give him time to speak, and hurried forward, leaving only the gradually smaller figure of the infantry
"Comrade Jiadong, it's been almost a day, are you still adapting?" In a truck in the middle of the team, Qian Aimin looked at Lu Jiadong, who was sitting side by side, and couldn't help but ask with concern.
Listening to Qian Aimin's question, Lu Jiadong couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, Company Commander Qian, I'm fine."
"Wow~~~" didn't wait for Lu Jiadong to finish speaking, he heard Liu Liang, who was sitting in the parking space, poke his head out of the car again, and vomited.
Seeing this, Qian Aimin hurriedly walked over, patted Liu Liang on the back, and then handed him the water in the kettle on his body and asked him to drink a little, and then Qian Aimin threw an apologetic smile at Lu Jiadong:
"The troops drove too fast, and they didn't think to ask the health team for motion sickness medicine"
"Company Commander Qian, I'm fine, just drink some water!" Before Qian Aimin finished speaking, Liu Liang returned the kettle to him, and then said weakly:
"I'll sleep for a while, my head is still a little dizzy!" After speaking, he leaned on the vehicle baffle in a groggy manner, his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't know whether he was really sleeping or pretending to sleep!
Lu Jiadong looked at Liu Liang's appearance and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, Qian Aimin was right, they were really a little hasty, but there was no way, because the troops attacking Liangshan were blocked and could not break through the Vietnamese defense line, and they urgently needed artillery support, and according to intelligence, the weapons and equipment aided by the Soviet Union had arrived at the Liangshan front, which may include 2S7 203mm long-range artillery.
Based on the above two reasons, on the night of the 26th, when the second batch of grenades was received from the bottom row, the independent artillery received an order from the general headquarters of the front, asking it to prepare overnight, cross the Sino-Vietnamese border before dawn, and arrive at the Liangshan front line before the 29th.
Although the drive was in a hurry, but along the way, except for Liu Liang's motion sickness, which was more troublesome, the other Lu Jiadong did not encounter any troubles, and the independent artillery regiment also advanced quickly under the cover of the infantry along the way, just when Lu Jiadong stared at Liu Liang, who seemed to be asleep at the back of the car, several snow-white bright lights pierced his eyes, which made Lu Jiadong's eyes can't help but look closely, and found that on both sides, several migrant workers were carrying two stretchers in the direction of the country quickly, and on the stretchers lay two wounded people wrapped tightly in gauze
"It seems that there are still a lot of casualties on the front line!" Lu Jiadong looked at the wounded in the distance, and his face couldn't help but darken.
"There will be no casualties in the war!" As soon as Lu Jiadong's words fell, Qian Aimin glanced at the figure of the wounded who had gradually blurred, and said with a flat face:
"But I heard from the infantrymen who came back to rest that the casualties of the front-line troops were not very large!"
Listening to Qian Aimin's words, Lu Jiadong couldn't help but look at him suspiciously: "How do you say this?"
"It's not your credit Comrade Jiadong!" Qian Aimin said, his face showing admiration: "I heard the infantry say that the Type 78 assault rifles in their hands are fierce, not to mention the squad machine guns, and the gun-mounted grenade launchers are even more powerful weapons to control the enemy, and some of the main attack units are also equipped with light automatic grenade launchers.
Coupled with our army's original 40 fires, 60 compulsions, and 82 none, the infantry's long, medium, and short-range firepower has almost no dead ends, and the Vietnamese monkeys are no opponents in attack or defense, and the casualty rate has been greatly reduced; just a few days ago, I heard an infantryman say that if he had not had a grenade launcher with a gun, his life would have been thrown into the wilderness and jungle of Vietnam! Because of this, many comrades of the infantry want to thank you in person!"
Listening to Qian Aimin's words, Lu Jiadong nodded noncommittally, and in this way, Lu Jiadong staggered with the artillery regiment all the way and soon arrived at the artillery preset position on the Liangshan front, just when Lu Jiadong just jumped out of the car, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him:
"Jiadong, it's really you!"
Hearing this familiar greeting, Lu Jiadong couldn't help but raise his head, and found a young officer standing in front of him with a thin figure, a slightly yellow complexion, and a scruffy beard but very energetic.
"Tianming, I didn't expect to see you here!"
Two old friends who have not seen each other for several months are reunited again on the Liangshan front line at this moment
