Chapter 879: An Artillery Accident
However, there are exceptions, that is, in the process of moving from marching to combat loading, in the ordinary marching state, the muzzle of the gun is not even blocked, and some impurities may fall, and at the same time, the barrel is also cold, so when the first shell is fired, the danger encountered is greatly increased.
The barrel is cold, the temperature of the chamber is low, the temperature of the propellant is unstable, and various parts are not in the best condition, at this time, there are many dangers, such as the most terrible explosion.
Therefore, in order to avoid danger, the artillery of all countries has such operating procedures, and cold guns must be fired with arquebus.
It's not about courage.
There has always been no qualified self-propelled artillery in the country, let alone such large-caliber self-propelled guns, and it is normal to have such doubts when I see the live firing of this kind of artillery for the first time.
"I see!" Leader Wang understood and nodded: "Let's go, it's Grandma Liu who has entered the Grand View Garden, and this time it can be regarded as an eye-opener." ”
"Let's go, let's go up too!" Leader Wang said: "This kind of hot scene, let's be a spectator, it's too enjoyable." ”
At this time, Liu Dajun, as the battalion commander, did not advance with the troops in front, nor did he sit in his 80 tank, he was in a tent in the rear, directing the advance of the entire army, and the sound of the radio was still coming and going noisily.
"The leader wants to go up?" Liu Dajun frowned a little, now, there is still a battle going on there, so if you go up directly, I am afraid that it will be dangerous.
He frowned and thought about it, and said, "If the leader wants to see it, then get on the helicopter and watch it!" ”
Originally, his synthetic battalion was still planned to be equipped with helicopters, but since the army aviation unit is now being formed, no helicopters have been allocated to him for the time being, so he can only stay in his imagination.
These leaders, I can't say that people are running over to watch the exercise with great interest, if they don't let their families come up, they will definitely be unhappy, and if they come, if there is any safety accident, it will be a big trouble, so now Liu Dajun is also inspired and thinks of letting them get on the helicopter to watch.
Sure enough, Leader Wang was very happy, and immediately beckoned everyone to get on the helicopter, and even Liu Dajun went up, and sure enough, looking down from the sky, it was even more lively.
"Boom!" Huge shelling, non-stop, 152-mm self-propelled howitzers, still firing. After the first shot of the rope was fired, the next shot began to enter the car, their gun muzzle was emitting a huge fireball, and the entire car body was also vibrating violently with the cannon, the artillery is the god of war!
Looking down from the sky, eight self-propelled howitzers lined up in a horizontal line of long snakes, slowly advancing, each time they stopped, they would open fire, especially later, the artillery behind them used a salvo, which looked even more spectacular.
The tank in front of it has also begun to launch the final charge towards the target, and the infantry got out of the car and began to charge with the infantry, although the scale is not very large, but it is still huge.
Self-propelled howitzer No. 203.
"The last round of volleys, begin!" With the command coming from the headset, it has entered the end of the exercise, the troops are about to capture the enemy's position, and their side, it is also the last salvo before the troops enter.
Gunner Zhu Zizhong pressed the button fiercely, and then, a huge roar had drowned them out, such a huge sound, it sounded quite powerful.
"." At this moment, the commander on the side, Liu Laoshuan, couldn't help but scold: "No pumping!" ”
According to normal shooting, after the firing, the shell case should be automatically withdrawn, but now, there is no continuation of this action, and there is a small accident at the last moment, and the shell case is not pulled out!
"Open the latch by hand, draw the barrel, and pay attention to the hot hands." Liu Laozhuan shouted.
Since there is no automatic cartridge, this is a glitch, and it is enough to manually pull out the cartridge case.
It is said that there is now advanced technology, and the propellant without the cartridge case has been studied, and when it is fired, all of it is burned clean, so that the cartridge casing can be saved.
With such an idea, Liu Laozhuan ordered Xiang Zhongkai, the loader in the back, to manually open the bolt.
As a self-propelled gun with semi-automatic loading, it is natural to be equipped with a special loader, and after receiving the order, Xiang Zhongkai did not hesitate, and immediately opened the bolt, intending to pull out the cartridge.
He's not ambiguous, it's a little hot, but it's not in the way, let's wear special gloves!
Just as his hand was about to reach over, Liu Laozhuan had already noticed that the problem was unusual, and shouted loudly: "Don't move!" ”
Although smokeless propellant is used, every time the gun is fired, a puff of black smoke will come out of the muzzle, and as for the finished cartridge case, it will definitely not be as smooth as a mirror, and it has not been blackened at all.
Now, opening the bolt and seeing that the bottom of the cartridge was so smooth and bright, the experienced Liu Laozhuan suddenly guessed something and quickly stopped the action of his loader.
Then, looking down again, sure enough, there was no trace of a firing pin impact at the bottom of the shell!
What does this mean?
This shell of your own side did not fire at all! Inside, it's not an empty bullet casing that has been shot, but a complete projectile! Moreover, the warhead in front is definitely still in it!
Just after the last launch, there was an accident, the artillery did not sound, but there was a salvo all around, so the huge noise around made everyone think that the artillery had been fired, but there was no pumping!
The shells didn't go out, and the shells, of course, couldn't get out! Damn, the big guy just ignored the tremor of the car when he fired, and as a result, now it's in trouble!
Several people's hearts were chuckled, and at this time, the shells left in the barrel were like a time bomb!
"Hole roar, hole roar, two holes and three made mistakes, the shell was not fired, please continue to fire!" Now, knowing that the trouble was big, Liu Laozhuan chose to report to his superiors as soon as possible.
Since you haven't hit it, the easiest way is to keep hitting it!
