Chapter 272: Christmas Gift (2)

In the blacksmith village, Yang Mingzhi really did not have any more work except to inspect the weapons manufacturing situation in the arsenal and work on the design in the rooms of the Pripyat Weapons Design Bureau. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Here, the day-to-day work was handled by the collective farm Soviets, and Kavitsky was elected by the whole village, whose men governed the village very well. Considering that the Blacksmith Village will be the core of the future, the entire base area, the development here is crucial for the future.

Yang Mingzhi didn't want to continue to fight with those college students and Communist Youth League members early, and they worked first in the room of the design bureau.

When he had nothing to do, Yang Mingzhi took his wife's little hand and walked around the village.

The long-lost peace is seen in the smiles of the villagers, many of whom have seen Yang Mingzhi, after all, Tatar faces are still rare in Belarus. People paid respect, and Yang Mingzhi smiled and nodded.

Perhaps the children can forget the suffering more than the adults, only to see a dozen children actually playing a traditional game of wood-beating on the ground, their innocent and bright smiles, it is indeed difficult to think of the control area of the three collective farms and barracks, that is, the no-man's land within a range of tens of kilometers, and outward, it is actually the Nazi iron hoof.

"Brother! You see, how cute these kids are. They're playing games. "Star fruit felt it, and I couldn't help but turn my face around." I think I'm almost old enough to be a mother. ”

"It's too early! At least until the war is over. Yang Mingzhi didn't want to reject the idea of star fruit straightforwardly.

"Why? Aren't we husband and wife? ”

"You're still too young." Yang Mingzhi's stomach actually held back a stomach of words, after the star fruit said what was in his heart, Yang Mingzhi also knew a lot, he put his arms on his wife, and said solemnly: "It is because we are husband and wife that I am responsible for you." Remember, wars will end in a few years, and when peace comes, we will have children, which is the most suitable for you and our future children. Do you want to hold your belly up in such a difficult environment, what do you do if the enemy bombs and the enemy attacks? ”

Carambola hooked her head and was silent.

"My dear, do you think that when you grow up, you should do your duty as a wife? You've been restless these nights, but I've been patient. Remember, you are my wife, a soldier, and a military doctor. ”

The husband seemed to be angry, and the star fruit's face was heavily hooked.

Her appearance was not Yang Mingzhi's intention, and it was really embarrassing for a man for a girl to put on such a wronged look. Yang Mingzhi pinched his waist and asked, "Do you have a grievance in your heart?" ”

"Nope! I'm just ......" In fact, the star fruit itself doesn't know what's wrong with herself, and she always feels that she has done something wrong.

"Forget it, don't take this matter to heart." Yang Mingzhi immediately changed the topic and talked about Christmas.

As for the Chinese New Year, which generally hovers around the end of January and the beginning of February in the Gregorian calendar, it has now been fighting and living here in Belarus for half a year, and in Russia for more than a year.

Chinese Chinese New Year is naturally indispensable for dumplings, so Yang Mingzhi gave his wife an order, that is, she took the lead, let the canteen learn the technique of making dumplings, so that the dinner on Christmas Eve, the majority of soldiers can change to a new taste.

But until then, weapons like recoilless guns must be off the production line.

Rigushkov stared at the tremendous pressure for this, and he gave orders to the workers with the orders of his exclusive deputy division commander. "Comrade Berekov ordered us that the first recoilless gun must be completed before the New Year. We have to assemble all the parts in the fastest possible time, and everyone has to be vigilant and patient to make sure nothing goes wrong. When the artillery comes off the production line, it is a test gun, and we must succeed! If that fails, I, and all of you, will only be able to eat potatoes for a month. ”

Compared with shouting slogans, real punishment is the most effective, and no one wants to eat potatoes every day to survive.

The workers worked overtime, and the various parts of the gun were processed one after another.

It is said that the structure of the recoilless gun is simple, and the core is the barrel. Yang Mingzhi did not say that it was necessary to make rifling, that is, a smoothbore gun. As for how to ensure the accuracy of the shells, as long as each shell has a tail fin, like a mortar shell, it is no problem at all.

So the first recoilless gun, its warhead was separated from the ******, and the loading was also processed in sections.

At first, Yang Mingzhi estimated that Rigushkov would take three days like the battle defense gun that was magically modified from a tank gun, but he did do what he promised, and it was completed in two days.

This good news not only spread throughout the blacksmith village, but also Yevlov in the catfish village became clear at the first time. He immediately sent a report to Yang Mingzhi: "You should conduct the test as soon as possible to ensure the practicability of this artillery." I want it to be a New Year's gift in 1942. ”

This is also what Yang Mingzhi and others are going to do immediately, and there are still two days before Christmas, and the test gun is officially underway. At this point, Yang Mingzhi finally saw that he participated in the drawing, and the group of college students and Communist Youth League members under his command collaborated, and the process drawings drawn together became a real weapon.

The recoilless gun was mounted on a wooden gun carriage with large wheels, which could be towed by horses.

The test site was chosen on the outskirts of the village, and a horse pulled the cannon, and several fighters carried ammunition boxes behind them. Yang Mingzhi, Yelenkina and the others followed with great interest, and behind them were some warriors, which were to maintain order. Because it was the first artillery to be developed and manufactured entirely by the Arsenal in the swamp, it was so significant that a large number of villagers wanted to take a good look at its magnificent firing.

However, this cannon is a recoilless cannon after all, and in order to counteract the recoil, it must sacrifice some gunpowder gas. At the moment of firing, a part of the gas will be sprayed in the opposite direction, and the recoil will cancel out most of it, and the kinetic energy will also be lost, so that its range will not be very far. The experiment was not only to see if it could fire properly, but also to see the trajectory and the effect of the shell explosion.

At the test site, the soldiers stood in a line and stopped the people watching the excitement from advancing further.

Yang Mingzhi and his wife waited for the moment of fire, and Yelenkina stood bravely next to the cannon.

The soldier who tested the artillery couldn't help but sweat and said: "Comrade political commissar, this is very dangerous, maybe you should stay away from us." This is the first test of this gun, and if there is a bore, you may be in serious danger to your life. ”

Yerentina was not at all dismissive of this: "I believe in the capabilities of the arsenal, and this cannon must be very safe." Besides, if you are not afraid of danger, then why should I be cowardly? ”

Yang Mingzhi also felt that it was inappropriate, but he couldn't resist this woman. Well, let her go. As for her being blown up into the sky, that is also impossible.

In this way, the test gun soldier opened the bolt, stuffed the warhead first, then the powder pack, and finally closed the wedge-shaped bolt.

"Little Peach, look at their movements. Now that the shell is in a state, when the fire is fired, a large amount of gunpowder gas will be ejected from the two nozzles next to the bolt, so that with the force in the opposite direction, the recoil force will be canceled out much, much. Yang Mingzhi's words, star fruit also carelessly understood. If she had studied basic physics, it would have been easy to understand, but unfortunately she didn't.

Carambola nodded as if she didn't understand, and at this moment, the artilleryman announced that it was ready to open fire. The shooter is ready to pull the trigger at any moment, and the radiant hand is half-kneeling next to him, holding spare ammunition in his hand and reloading it.

Yerentina had almost become the one who ordered the fire, and she tactfully moved away from the gunpowder vent and waited for the opportunity to give the order. The target is a dozen logs in the distance, which are erected into planks, and the artillery and target targets are about 200 meters.

This arrangement is indeed the general combat distance of this weapon, between the current combat mode of the 284th Division, forest combat is a norm, and the combat distance is often very close. Even the recoilless guns equipped by the Soviet army have an effective firing range of more than two kilometers! And the goods made in this swamp can blow up the enemy's armored vehicles or tanks within 200 meters, which is qualified.

Yerentina had already stretched out her right arm and fell violently. "Fire!"

The shooter pulled the trigger, the firing pin detonated ****, the black powder bag exploded, and a huge amount of gunpowder gas gushed from both directions. At the tail of this gun, a large amount of blue-white gunpowder gas is spewed out, and so is the muzzle. This spectacular scene seemed to say that the cannon was powerful, and the onlookers cheered, and Yang Mingzhi was very knowledgeable, and the smoke was really annoying.

Almost at the same time, a direct hit was made to a target two hundred meters away. Many people saw that the target not far away had been shattered, and a large amount of yellow smoke rose into the air.

It was the picric acid explosive in the projectile, and the force of it had already blown the target into a large number of wood chips. This first shot confirmed that this kind of artillery has real combat value.

It fired three shots in a row, and the artillery moved quickly, which also proves that it also reached the level of rapid-fire guns. However, there are still problems, first, there is too much gunpowder, and this gun position has been completely exposed after the three cannons. Secondly, the problem of heat dissipation of the gun is not easy to solve, which will affect its combat rate of fire.

Other than that, it's quite successful. Seeing everyone's cheering, Yang Mingzhi was also relieved. After all, something is better than nothing, compared to the Chinese militia in the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in this era, those people's weapons are varied, elm cannons, guns and other very unreliable weapons can be taken out to fight small Japan, so the militia in the Pripet swamp came up with recoilless guns with pyrotechnics, isn't it a huge breakthrough!

"Alas! The road of military industry has a long way to go, and today we have finally taken the road to success. In his own words, Yang Mingzhi also joined the crowd of celebrations. (To be continued.) )
