Chapter 137: Airdrop Success
One minute...... Two minutes......
After waiting for about five minutes, the mysterious objects that fell from the sky were still lying quietly on the dry ground.
At this time, the yellow dust had already dissipated, and Major Rayarag, who had carefully poked his head out of the trenches, looked at those things that looked like artillery, and his heart felt like a cat scratching this.
"Ge Laozi, Lao Tzu doesn't care, I want to see what the hell this thing is."
Although Major Rayarag looks like a black man, every official sentence of the Blue Flag Empire will have a dialect of the Wasi clan scolding.
After waiting in the trench for a few minutes, finding that these things did not show any signs of exploding, I could no longer hold back my curiosity and stood up from the trench with a slap of my thick thigh.
"Okay, I don't think it's a dynamite bag, but be careful."
Seeing that Major Rayarag had spread his long legs and ran towards the dry land, Instructor Cheng Cheng, who was following him, could only helplessly order the soldiers to follow.
"Hahahaha, it's not an explosives pack, it's a new type of artillery. Brother Cheng Cheng, come and see, it's such an advanced artillery. Although it is weird, but looking at it like this, it is definitely much more advanced than the breech guns of the county defenders. ”
Major Rayarag was very fast, and by the time Instructor Cheng Cheng and the guards came behind him, the guy had already run to the first cushion and quickly cut the tight rope on it with a command knife.
Touching the green-painted guns, tapping his fingers on the barrels and baffles, Major Rayarag smiled from ear to ear.
"It does seem to be a very advanced breech gun, but the barrel of this gun is not too short, and the wall of this gun, why is it so thin, aren't you afraid of exploding?"
In this era, there was already a breech tube annealed gun, but because the quality of the gun steel was not very good, the general gun wall was very thick, although this gun seemed to be a small-caliber infantry gun, but such a thin gun wall still made Cheng Cheng instructor a little doubtful about the practicality of this artillery.
"Brother, come and see, here's a manual."
Just when Instructor Cheng Cheng expressed doubts about the practicality of this infantry gun, Major Rayarag, who was groping around like an old child, saw a piece of paper wrapped in transparent "oilcloth" on the gun carriage of the infantry gun.
Curious, he tore off the "oilcloth" package, and when he saw the content written in blue flag characters on it, he greeted Instructor Cheng Cheng in surprise.
"This ...... How is this possible......"
Taking the paper from Major Rayarag's hand, Instructor Cheng Cheng was shocked by the data on it as soon as he took a few glances.
"What can't be?"
Major Rayarag just glanced at it cursoryly, and didn't look at the data in detail, so when he heard Instructor Cheng Cheng's surprise at this time, he couldn't help but tilt his head to see it clearly.
"You see, this weapon is called the 92 Infantry Cannon, not to mention anything else for the time being, let's just say that this range can reach 2.7 kilometers......"
"What's strange about this, I've been at the Qinggang Fort in the eastern part of Aodong, where the artillery can hit as far as 7 kilometers away from the sea. This is not half of the family's own. ”
"You fool, you're talking about coastal defense heavy artillery. You say how big the caliber of that heavy gun is, how long the barrel is, and how heavy the weight of that thing is estimated to be impossible to even move. ”
"yes......"
"Look at this cannon again. How long is the barrel, and this caliber is only 70 mm, how much propellant can you say can be loaded in the chamber...... According to the knowledge I learned in the military academy, such a pipe diameter ratio, to launch a shell to more than 2 kilometers, the gun chamber charge needs at least 100 catties. ”
Since he had not seen the ammunition of the 92 infantry gun, Instructor Cheng Cheng did not know that the charge of this artillery was one-piece, and thought that it was a gun with separate ammunition and loading like those imperial artillery.
"Hehe, it seems that this thing is getting more and more magical."
After listening to Instructor Cheng Cheng's words, Major Rayarag carefully looked into the barrel of the cannon through the short barrel, as if he wanted to see why so much gunpowder could be contained in such a short barrel.
"Rayarag, you fool, don't look at it, it is estimated that the charge of this new artillery is not ordinary gunpowder. Let's look elsewhere. ”
Looking at Major Rayarag's funny appearance, Instructor Cheng Cheng hurriedly pulled him away.
Then the two guys looked at the explanation and groped for this delicate artillery, and as the exclamations of the two guys came and went, they seemed to forget for a moment that the battle ahead was in full swing.
"Report to the major, the attacking company in front was thwarted, the enemy's artillery was too powerful, our attacking troops simply could not climb such a high wall, and many brothers were wounded by the defenders' scattered shells."
At this moment, a herald hurriedly ran back from the front, wiping tears and anxiously reporting.
The county had a lot of artillery in its hands, and although the old guns didn't have a very long range, they could fire shots and grapeshits.
This kind of scattered bombs, a dozen large pieces, within 100 meters, is simply a nightmare for the infantry of the rebel army without any protective facilities.
"Ge Laozi, I know, but we now have this kind of magical artillery. I'm still afraid that he will be a bird's egg, Brother Cheng Cheng, have you figured out what kind of infantry artillery is this, Lao Tzu wants to let it go up and bombard his mother. ”
After listening to the herald's report, Major Rayarag was also a little breathless, and turned to Instructor Cheng Cheng, who was groping for the gun latch, and asked anxiously.
"Rayarag, you fool, what's the hurry, it's okay right away, you can let the brothers withdraw first. Anyway, if this artillery can be used, are we still afraid of a small county city wall? ”
Instructor Cheng Cheng, who had already mastered a little Taoism, didn't even raise his head at this time, and shouted at the anxious Major Rayarag angrily.
"Well, that's right...... Hey, what are you doing here, didn't you hear the instructor tell you to tell the brothers to take off! Ge Laozi, you fool. ”
Instructor Cheng Cheng yelled like this, Major Rayarag scratched his head innocently, turned his head and began to yell at the herald.
"Yes, Major."
Although the herald was yelled at very wrongly, he had long been accustomed to the unobtrusive character of Major Rayarag, and he did not feel aggrieved at this time, but instead reported loudly with a laugh, turned around and ran away.
"Hey, what the hell is this, is it some kind of Raushzi's manual?"
Driving away the heralds, Major Rayarag sat down bored on the shovel of the 92nd Infantry Cannon, but his eyes accidentally saw a white paper sandwiched on the shovel, and immediately pulled it out curiously.
"Ah, Brother Cheng Cheng, something is wrong. Come and see. ” <
