With a roar like rolling thunder, a fireball flashed from the muzzle of the mortar cannon, and the heated and expanded air urged a few wisps of green smoke from burning to spread rapidly to the surroundings, and the muzzle shock wave also turned into a storm and swept away in all directions. In an instant, the fireball stretched like a flame from the dragon's mouth, turning into tongues of fire that erupted from the muzzle of the cannon.

After the flash of fire, the thunderous cannon sound continued to spread against the surface of the river like a tiger roaring in the deep forest, as if it was about to stir up ripples.

Due to the fact that this cannon was empty, and the only bit of recoil of the mortar had been completely applied to the gun mount and then absorbed by the ground, there was no too obvious lateral displacement of the entire gun body. The commander of the test gun immediately gave the order:

"Gun emplacement restoration!"

"8-inch mortar! One blaster! Conventional charges! Load! ”

The gunners quickly put their worms into the chambers and stirred them, hooking out the remaining burning ashes or fragments of the packets. This was followed by the chambering, in which a water-stained, short, thick breech brush was inserted into the chamber and rapidly stirred by the rifler to extinguish any spark in the chamber and to cool the barrel properly. By this time, the munitionist had already passed the maroon pill bag and the spherical blasting bomb, respectively.

"Target distance! 800 meters! Thirty secret positions in the Northeast! The angle is 68 degrees! Timing! ”

The loader quickly looked up the firing table hanging on his chest and the corresponding shell flight time, and reported loudly: "Distance 800!" The fuse is timed for six seconds! ”

The gunner, who was standing by and holding a fuse and scissors, immediately found the scale corresponding to "six seconds" on the cigar-shaped time fuse, cut it with a pair of scissors, and trimmed the fuse to the right length. The ammunition hand takes the fuse, tears the waterproof seal of the fuse port of the shell, and inserts the fuse into it and fixes it.

"Gun crew ready!"

The gunners quickly took out the firing tube, and the gunner punctured the cartridge with an iron brazing, and then put the firing tube into the ignition hole.

"Gunners ready! Put! The commander will choose a more concise password pattern.

There was another thunderous sound, and the spherical cannonball, accompanied by fire and thin smoke, rushed out of the muzzle at subsonic speed, turned into an afterimage and flew into the sky, and then fell heavily on the forehead target not far away.

Six seconds later, a huge column of water rose in the area where the buoy target was placed on the river, and the white smoke spread out in all directions only after the surge from the explosion of the cannonball had disappeared. The shell itself did not directly hit the target, but the impact of the explosion was transmitted to the target through the incompressible water without discount, and a large wave directly overturned and submerged the target.

"The first shot is close to missing!" The observer who reported the target reported loudly.

The three traversers had already seen the effects of the shelling, and they all applauded.

"With a mortar cannon that is less than twice the diameter of the double, the first close miss, and the shock wave destroys the target, this artillery skill is not bad!" Director Li exclaimed.

"Of course! I told you, our Huang family's Shui Yong is a top cow X! Don't look at the people in this plane are not very familiar with firearms, but as long as our soldiers have been trained to become the backbone of a modern navy, it is proper! At this time, our Young Master Huang still didn't forget to brag about himself.

"Okay, okay, look at what you said, you see, the cows are flying in the sky!" Director Wen has also become more and more humorous recently, and directly teased, "Where is the modern navy so good at drilling!" Not to mention that we haven't even figured out where the sea is now, and the trained soldiers are a little better than the old-style sailors, at best, they can be regarded as river fleets! “

"But I was surprised by one thing: how could these people read artillery firing tables written in numbers? Still proficient in application? “

"That's why I said our people are amazing, you still don't believe it!" Young Master Huang's nose was tilted to the sky, "If you can understand, you will understand, and if you can't understand, give me rote memorization!" That's how I managed to teach my soldiers the basics of Arabic numerals! If you want to say that the real words are not good - these soldiers are basically semi-literate and need training - but the understanding of the concept of digital shooting is basically formed! ”

Director Li also jumped out at this time to join the ranks of complaining: "It's just that the action of this cannon is still a little blunt!" The time for practice is still too short, and there is no practice! “

Young Master Huang turned his head and glanced at Li Changting: "Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back!" Let you learn the basic movements of the cannon in three or five days, and you have to hit the nine rings in one shot during the assessment, can you do it?! “

"If you can't do it, don't be foolish!"

"Hey, why are you so unreasonable?! Wasn't the gunpowder used in this test cannon provided by our chemical laboratory? Aren't the basic and strong charges of the artillery calculated with the help of our laboratory? There is no ammunition, no charge data, no matter how powerful your artillery is, you won't dare to test it, right? Not to be outdone, Director Li immediately ridiculed him.

In the sound of the three traversers bragging and farting and mocking each other, the newly formed artillery of the first modern water armed force on the plane successively completed the launch of the mortar's strong charge empty cartridge, the grenade shotgun conventional charge launch and the howitzer shotgun strong charge launch, and the combined experiments of various types of ammunition and all levels of charge of the Caron gun were also successfully completed later. All the subjects were completed in one go, without any problems, and the Caron Gun withstood the toughest test for smoothbore artillery: the firing of double and triple shotguns with strong charges!

In this way, the trio looked forward to the future and pondered where the road was in the rumbling sound of cannons on the banks of the river.

......

The test of the artillery test in this side of the box is in full swing, and the construction of the factory base in the side has not stopped.

At this time, our young master Lan was standing on a section of hardened pavement that had just been paved, and he stepped on the ground with his feet to test whether the hardening degree of the pavement could reach the standard.

"Yes, yes, it's not a tofu scum project, and the investment regardless of the cost is really effective." Lan Wang looked up at the road construction team of craftsmen who were still working intensively in the distance, "I just don't know if these projects can be completed on time?" Hey, it's really bad, after a while, I have to worry about the problem of exterminating the water bandits in Fuluzhou and finding heavy construction machinery, it's just too busy! ”

Lan Wang has only now realized that he has been away from home for several days, but there seems to be no one from the Lan family's mansion to arrest him home.

But that's fine, Lan Wang is also happy to wander outside alone. He doesn't want to be protected by his parents and family like a giant panda. In that case, our traverser is like sitting in a tank, with good armor defense, but very poor vision, and is simply half blind!

What's more, Lan Wang is still quite confident in his cheap dad - his subordinates must have been protecting the safety of Young Master Lan in a very hidden corner every step of the way.

As soon as Lan Wang turned around, he saw Shen Hanlin striding over with a bold gait that was not like a scholar.

"Did the beast confess something?" When Shen Mengze approached, Lan Wang asked casually.

"Pour beans into the bamboo tube, and say it all." As he spoke, Shen Hanlin took out something like a pipe, poured some oddly shaped broken leaves into it, and then swiped an earthen match produced by the Chemical Department of Wenjia Workshop and lit it, and began to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog comfortably.

", you made your own pipe? And tobacco leaves in this plane? What does it taste like? Lan Wang was a mercenary in his previous life, and he was very addicted to smoking, and when he saw Shen Hanlin start smoking, he was suddenly like a fly that smelled a foul smell.

"Yes, there are tobacco leaves, but I haven't seen what the tobacco plants in this world look like." Shen Hanlin spat out a smoke ring like Sherlock Holmes and responded, "It looks like you were also an old smoker in your previous life, right?" Don't smoke now, your biological age is less than twelve years old, besides, I've been smoking in front of you for a long time, and I can't quit, but you're different! ”

Lan Wang suddenly had an illusion: this Shen Hanlin was an elder in his family.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business!"

"Good. I dug up some information about the Hong family in Jiangnan from the mouth of this landlord. The Hong family's tentacles in Jiangbei are not very long, but the forces in Jiangnan are intertwined, even if you want to eradicate it, it will not be done overnight, and it will not work with the kind of killing and killing methods you are used to. However, I learned that the Hong family's nest is very close to us, and after crossing the river, there is Jiangnan Town, which is quite prosperous in the city, and most of the industries are owned by the Hong family or are inextricably linked with the Hong family. The income of this place is also one of the main sources of wealth of the Hong family, this surnamed Tian was a gangster on the entertainment street in Jiangnan Town, because of his brute strength and ruthlessness, he soon became a gang boss after being favored by the people of the Hong family, and the wealth in his hands became more and more. After a few years, he really couldn't move, so he took advantage of the shadow of the Hong family to take the money to Jiangbei to buy a large piece of land and became a rich man. But his connection with the Hong family was not broken, but he acted as the accomplice and gold medal thug of the Hong family in Jiangbei, and helped the Hong family do a lot of dirty work in the territory where the Hong family was not good to come forward. “

"So I can basically be sure now: this surnamed Tian has absorbed our Shen family's property and ruined my daughter-in-law in this plane, not entirely out of his own evil desires, but the most important reason is because the Hong family is behind his back." Shen Hanlin's voice gradually penetrated into a trace of coldness.

"So, the original owner of your body also offended the people of the Hong family when he was an official in the court?" Lan Wang pondered.

"I'm not sure. After I searched the memories of the original owner, I didn't find any people surnamed Hong that Shen Hanlin had offended when he was still an official in the court. As for whether there are officials from other families who are also related to the Hong family, I don't know! ”

"It seems that if we want to answer our further questions and find out the black hand behind the Hong family, we can only go deep into the tiger's den and go in person!" Lan Wang's mind was racing.

After a while, he raised his head and asked Shen Hanlin: "Does the Hong family's property in Jiangnan Town have a 'gray industry' such as casinos or brothels?" ”

"Yes, definitely! And no less! ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Lan Wang's signature evil smile bloomed on his face again.

"Excellent! Then let's go to the territory of the Hong family in Jiangnan Town to have fun! ”
