"Click!" The shells hit several devices at the bottom of the mortar by gravity, making a slight metallic sound, and then, with a "bang", the shells flew towards the positions not far away.

"I'll just say it's okay, you don't believe it!" Situ Lei despised the timidity of the artillerymen, and then picked up a cannonball again and slipped it through the muzzle.

"Boom!" This time, the shell didn't go out, and it exploded directly in the barrel......

"Commander......"

When the soldiers in the distance saw this scene, they immediately ran towards the center of the explosion......

Seeing this opportunity, the monkeys in the opposite position instantly emerged from the bombed and mutilated trenches and launched a counter-charge against this side......

Liu Yijiu learned from the wounded fighters that many of these mortars would become very hot when firing five or six shells, and the problem of deformation had already begun to appear, and experienced fighters would often stop at this time and wait until the barrel had cooled down before continuing.

In this way, a gap will be formed in the continuity of the shelling, and the monkey soldiers will often take this opportunity to repair the fortifications or launch a counter-charge, if the artillery is used alternately, and the shelling is carried out in turn, which will make the density of the shelling greatly reduced, and it will not have any effect at all. Monkeys, those experienced soldiers simply do not hide......

Accidents often occur in very tragic situations. In such a situation, long-range artillery support will damage its attacking troops, and the only support firepower is mortars and heavy machine guns.

Heavy machine guns are powerless against enemies hiding in fortifications because of the small range that your troops can support. The only one capable of inflicting damage on enemy fortifications or even in wartime. There are only mortars!

Can this quality.

After Liu Yijiu learned about these circumstances, he stayed in the tent arranged for him by the Western Front Front Command. He didn't fall asleep because he was tired, but kept thinking about what kind of cause such a serious quality accident.

All the guns were of the same caliber at the beginning. It's no longer a question of processing quality.

The industrial base of the republic was established with the help of Lao Maozi, and the production of weapons and equipment was also based on their special line production mode, with relatively high production efficiency and relatively stable production quality.

The deformation of the gun barrel, according to the various data and the analysis of the situation, there are only two possibilities, the first is the problem of heat treatment, the hardness of the steel itself is relatively hard because of the high tungsten content, and it needs to go through several heat treatment in the processing process. Quenching and tempering, normalizing, and quenching are all to make the material structure of the barrel uniform, so as to avoid damage to the barrel caused by the high pressure generated when the barrel is ejected, thus affecting the service life and accuracy of the barrel.

Another problem is the material.

If it is really a material problem, Liu Yijiu dare not imagine this consequence.

In this era, the management of national military production is actually very chaotic. The original technical standards are not strictly enforced. Many young intellectuals have gone to the countryside, and some of the old technicians and managers in the factories are no longer in power. Many of the production workers were discharged from the army or recruited directly from the countryside......

Once it's really a matter of materials. This will be the case with the barrels produced by that batch of materials.

The management is chaotic, and the batch numbers of the production furnaces of these materials are not necessarily still retained. The various technical data of the production process are not necessarily retained......

In this way, the consequences are ......

"Comrade Xiao Liu. Quick, total logistics call. The Fifth Aircraft Department orders you to immediately rush to the Eastern Front Headquarters by helicopter! There's something big going on over there! Liu Yijiu is thinking about how to track down these inferior mortars if it is a material problem, many mortars even have factory numbers are very confusing, and there is no way to trace them.

At this time, Lu Hui opened the curtain of the tent where Liu Yijiu was located with an anxious face.

Liu Yijiu looked at his wrist, and it was only half past eleven in the evening.

What happened on the Eastern Front? Aren't the weapons of the Ninth Academy all on the Western Front, could it be that there is something wrong with those guns of their own?

"The 82 mortar over there exploded, and Situ Lei, the commander of the 368 Tashan Heroic Regiment, died on the spot, and there were many casualties among the soldiers...... General Xu Shiyou, commander of the Eastern Front, directly called and scolded the rear assembly headquarters, the Fifth Aircraft Department in charge of this aspect has sent people to rush here by plane overnight, Minister Liu ordered you to go there overnight to investigate the situation......" Lu Hui quickly explained the matter.

Liu Yijiu was dumbfounded.

Completely dumbfounded.

This history is fundamentally different from what he knew. The war on the southwest border started a year and a half ahead of schedule, and the 368th Regiment, which had not been on the southwest battlefield at all, actually came, and there was also a regimental commander Situ Lei who seemed to have never heard of it at all, and died! It was not killed by the enemy, but by the cannon produced on its own side!

Situ!

Just this surname reminds Liu Yijiu of a lot. This is an ancient family living in seclusion in the land of China, who helped the Red Army a lot before the establishment of the Republic. Some of the more important young people in their family have been trained in the army and local administration......

It's a big deal.

Indeed, in the capital, many people are sad.

In Li Yunlong's office, an extremely thin old man with all white hair was on crutches, his body was as tall as a javelin, and he looked at Li Yunlong with a blue face.

Liu Qingshan, the head of the Fifth Machine Department, was like a child who made a mistake, sitting on the side, also lowering his head and not daring to raise it.

Several veteran chiefs of the General Staff also did not speak.

"Situ, we will definitely do our best to investigate this matter, don't worry, we have sent someone to rush over there overnight to understand the situation, and Minister Liu will also rush over overnight......" After a long time, Li Yunlong sighed and said with a serious face to the emaciated old man who was standing straight in a long robe.

"Xiao Lei is the best young man in our family, and the most powerful of the next generation of family successors. Send him to your army because we believe in you, because we believe in the President, and now that the Chairman is gone, this is what happened! He insisted on asking to go to the front line, this is as it should be, as a soldier, it is his mission to defend his family and country, and it is also his duty! If he dies at the guns of the enemy, it is his life, but he dies under the shells of our own production! The crutches in Mr. Situ's hand kept hitting the ground, banging loudly, and said bitterly!

It is an honorable thing for a man to be a soldier and die on the battlefield.

Because he gave everything he had to his homeland!

And Situ Lei's death ......

"Check, we must find out which people are so bold, and the substandard products produced by military products are also exiled to the battlefield like this!" The old man, who had just made a comeback, was also heartbroken after hearing the news.

In the previous decade, domestic production basically came to a standstill, and very few places were starting, but they did not expect that it would now have such an important impact.

The country is currently making some big moves, and without the support of these democrats with large families abroad, it will be difficult to achieve this goal! What's more, the Situ family has always made a great contribution to the country, and some of the big projects that the country is working on are all carried out by them through foreign channels to obtain intelligence!

The higher-ups are furious!

Such a thing caught everyone off guard.

On the Western Front, for such reasons, more than a dozen soldiers were innocently killed, and on the Eastern Front, a regiment commander was directly reimbursed!

If the weapons and equipment in the army are all like this, how can this battle be fought?

"Regarding our request to suspend the offensive, has the General Staff replied?" General Xu Shiyou's face was very ugly. This matter has been ordered by him to block the news, but it still spread throughout the units of the 123rd Division, and many fighters even threw mortars and asked the superior to send them a few more grenades.

Because of this incident, the morale of the soldiers of the 123rd Division in the entire Eastern Front battlefield was very low.

"Agreed. At present, the Fifth Machine Department has sent a technical cadre, who will arrive at six o'clock tomorrow morning, and he will be in front of the ......" Yu Gang sighed, something like this happened, how could he attack? "Situ Xue made a big fuss in the hospital when she knew that something had happened to her brother, and she was going to find someone from the logistics department to play with her life while carrying a gun......"

"Take a good look at that girl, her pungent temperament may cause something...... Before the people from the aftermarket headquarters came, investigate the situation, and it is best to find out which factory produces and the person responsible for the production! Xu Shiyou gritted his teeth and said.

Yu Gang nodded, "The people in the logistics support department are currently making every effort to investigate the use of all equipment......

If this matter cannot be resolved, this battle will basically not be able to continue.

No matter how it is blocked, sooner or later the news will reach other troops.

Bullet jamming, hot and deformed barrels, and other things have been reported by various front-line troops in the past few days, which has also attracted the attention of the front finger, however, no one expected that such a serious quality accident would occur.

Liu Yijiu changed to a helicopter arranged by the front commander of the Eastern Front in the middle of the way and arrived at the front-line headquarters of the Eastern Front in Pingxiang, where the current battlefield on the Eastern Front is mainly concentrated on the Tongdeng Line in the territory of Monkey.

"Hello, I am Zhao Bingyi, director of the Logistics Support Division of the Eastern Front, and I have worked hard all the way." Although he was shocked by the youth of the two technicians who came down from the helicopter to investigate, and felt that this was a perfunctory act by the Fifth Aircraft Department, Zhao Bingyi did not show anything on his face.

"Hello Chief!" Liu Yijiu saluted and didn't care about the dissatisfaction in Zhao Bingyi's eyes.

When something like this happens, no one feels good in their hearts. Even Minister Liu Qingshan, there is no way, these cannons should have been produced before he took office! (To be continued......)
