Kirin Valley. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zheng Yi pointed to the foot of the mountain more than 100 meters away to the west: "Under the almost vertical mountain, there are two large karst caves that are connected to each other, the entrance of the karst cave on the left is very small, but the inside is very large, with a width of six meters, a height of about five meters, and a depth of not less than 30 meters, which can put at least one million catties of grain." ”

"The cave on the right is relatively small, but the ground is flat, cool and dry, which is very suitable for ammunition storage warehouse, and you can go in and have a look later."

The surging took a closer look, and nodded again and again: "This is a good place, very secretive, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the north of the valley is the reckless mountains, just guard the valley mouth in the south is very safe, not far from Tingzhou City, your secrecy work is very good!" ”

Zheng Yi said with a smile: "It is indeed a good place, after the entire valley is built, it can easily accommodate the troops of two regiments to be stationed and trained for a long time, I didn't tell you before, I was worried about leaking secrets, and no one knew how many enemy spies or bandit spies were hidden in Tingzhou City......"

"Besides, it hasn't been built yet, and it's useless to say it, if you don't believe in my battle plan, at least before you lay down Longyan, I won't reveal this place, and please understand!"

The committee members laughed and were all relieved, without the slightest intention of blaming, and everyone understood the truth of being careful to sail a ship for 10,000 years, not to mention that the situation in Tingzhou and the surrounding areas was very complicated, and there was no room for negligence and slackness until the revolutionary base area centered on Tingzhou was thoroughly consolidated.

Wang Haiping pointed to the row of thick pipes on the dirt slope: "Those pipes can't be the secret weapon you are talking about, right?" ”

Zheng Yi nodded solemnly: "That's right, it's the row of pipes, let's go up and take a look, everyone will understand after reading it." ”

After Zheng Yi finished speaking, he took the lead on the dirt slope, and the two commanders of the machine gun battalion who were transferred from the original 2nd and 3rd regiments had already assembled their ranks and saluted Zheng Yi and the members of the special committee.

"Company Commander Zhou, you take us to take a look and introduce the principle and performance of the 'Flying Thunder Cannon' to the leaders of the Special Committee. Company Commander Wu, you ordered your comrades to prepare for launch. Zheng Yi instructed the two old subordinates.

Company Commander Wu, who was stocky and had thick eyebrows and big eyes, asked in a low voice: "Launch live ammunition or training bullets?" ”

Zheng Yi thought for a while: "Let's train the bullet, the flying thunder is different from the gunshot, the sound is too loud, and the sound is earth-shattering, and Tingzhou City can hear it." ”

"Yes!"

Company Commander Wu saluted, turned around and ran towards his team.

Company Commander Zhou, who had just turned 21 years old and was quite handsome, turned red with excitement, took Zheng Yi and the members of the special committee to the back of a row of large pipes, and began to introduce quite nervously:

"It's ...... This is the flying thunder cannon designed by our division commander, and after more than half a year of repeated experiments, and then through the continuous improvement of our division commander and more than 20 officers and men, it was officially finalized before attacking Ruijin. ”

"We have been experimenting and manufacturing small batches in Ruijin, and we were only ordered to come here ten days ago, and it turned out to be just a company, and now it is ...... Now there's a company added, so we've been training with the time to do it, and we're ......"

"Xiao Zhou, don't be nervous, just speak slowly, just say the parameters and performance."

Zheng Yi patted Company Commander Zhou's shoulder with relief, and comrades such as Peng Peng and Zhang Dingcheng couldn't help laughing, and told Company Commander Zhou not to be nervous.

Company Commander Zhou's face turned even redder, took a deep breath, and strode towards the nearest big tube: "This is the flying thunder cannon launch tube, made of imported iron plates four millimeters thick, with a length of one hundred and twenty centimeters and a caliber of eighteen centimeters, the launch principle is similar to the rocket set off during the New Year's holiday, the flying thunder launched was made of a whole section of pine wood at the beginning, because the hardness was not enough, it was easy to leak, resulting in the range not meeting the requirements, so it was changed to iron sheet and bamboo, after hundreds of tests, the most easily obtained big bamboo was finally selected, which is this." ......”

Under the curious gaze of the committee members, Company Commander Zhou walked to the team that brought training bombs, asked for a cannon shell made of thick bamboo from a soldier, held it in his arms and came to the surging and others who were exclaiming, looked at the division commander Zheng Yi who nodded with a smile, and plucked up the courage to introduce it to everyone in detail:

"This is our own made thunder bomb, the length is seventy-five centimeters, the diameter is seventeen.5 centimeters, the weight is between seven and seven hundred kilograms, the head is conical, made of miscellaneous wood, and the two copper strips in the middle are heated and expanded red copper, which can solve the problem of air leakage after launch to the greatest extent......

The surging couldn't help but interrupt Company Commander Zhou's words: "Wait! Xiao Zhou, just now you said that the weight of this flying thunder bomb is 7.5 kilograms, which is 15 kilograms, how can such a heavy shell be fired? How far can you hit? ”

Zhang Dingcheng and the others nodded one after another, and the surging asked the key questions they wanted to ask, but Zheng Yi smiled silently, just nodded slightly to Lian Commander Zhou, who looked over, and encouraged him.

Company Commander Zhou took a deep breath, straightened his body and replied loudly: "Using the propellant pack we made ourselves, it can hit about 400 meters, and the best range is 350 meters, the front part of the shell is loaded with 3.5 kilograms of explosive (zhayao) medicine and one kilogram of iron sand, and there are three pieces of shrinking tail made of iron sheet in the rear, and there is a sealed pine board inside, and the fuse is connected in the middle, which is ignited by the propellant pack, and after launching, the flying thunder missile flies in the air for four seconds, and the fuse ignites the thunder (leiguan) tube at the front end and explodes, The radius of destruction on flat ground is about twenty-five meters, which means that after the explosion, it can effectively kill enemies within a radius of fifty meters. ”

A burst of inhalation sounded, and several committee members looked at the flying thunder bomb in Company Commander Zhou's arms in disbelief, and quickly looked at Zheng Yi, as if they needed Zheng Yi to confirm it.

Zheng Yi took a step forward and patiently explained: "You all know the lethality of the grenade, but I'm afraid you don't know that the grenade only has 60 to 70 grams of explosive (zhayoa) charge, that is, a little more than one or two, and the charge of the flying thunder bomb is 3.5 kilograms, that is, seven catties, which is 50 times the maximum charge of the grenade, plus one kilogram of iron sand, you can imagine how powerful it is!" ”

"In this way, Xiao Zhou, you go and get a live ammunition, and then let the brothers go to the front to erect dozens of shooting targets, and then bring more than a dozen sheep to tie them under the target."

"Yes!"

Company Commander Zhou handed the training bullet in his arms to the soldiers behind him, issued a series of orders in succession, and then ran quickly to the barracks of the baggage company on the edge of the small river in the east.

Zheng Yi called the honest and down-to-earth Company Commander Wu and instructed him to fire five training bombs and take the enthusiastic members of the special committee to the dirt slope more than ten meters away on the east side to watch quietly.

"Charge—"

"Number one is over!"

"Three-numbered finish!"

With the loud commands and the sound of answers, the five rudimentary barrels completed the preparatory steps from the charge pack to the loading to the preparation for ignition and firing in the skillful and rapid movements of the soldiers.

"Ready—Start!"

The five artillery commanders used imported windproof firefighters to ignite the fuse behind the barrel, wisps of green smoke quickly floated up, and five flying thunderbolts flew out of the thick muzzles of the cannons with the sound of "tom, tom, tom," and drew an arc more than 400 meters long in the air, which accurately fell between the two large circles drawn with white lime at a distance of 350 meters, which immediately aroused bursts of amazement from the committee members.

Zheng Yi was deeply satisfied with the skillful movements and hair of the brothers, waved his hand to the comrades who kept asking questions, pointed to Company Commander Zhou who brought live ammunition, and pointed to the more than 100 brothers who were carrying dozens of wooden chest targets and leading more than a dozen sheep to the front, telling everyone not to worry, wait for a while and see the effect.

Ten minutes later, a sharp whistle sounded, and all the brothers quickly evacuated the target area more than 300 meters in front of the launch position.

Company Commander Wu, who had a copper whistle on his chest, raised the red signal flag: "Prepare - start!" ”

"Tom—"

The dull sound of firing suddenly sounded, and the flying thunder bomb painted red at the front end flew into the sky with billowing gunpowder smoke, crossed a distance of more than 300 meters in just four seconds, and accurately flew to the target area composed of dozens of targets and more than a dozen goats.
