Chapter 42: Sixty Forced and Seventy Nothing

"Mr. Ding, are you really anxious to see you like that?"

Hearing Ding Chenggong's witticism, Master Xu smiled innocently, and deliberately sold Guanzi: "Our new weapon development is not here!" ”

"Where's that?" Ding Chenggong asked anxiously: "Let me take a look, I really can't wait!" ”

"Lao Xu, Mr. Ding is really in a hurry, you old boy, don't sell Guanzi anymore!"

Seeing that Ding Chenggong was really anxious, Zhao Guangcai, who was by his side, jokingly reprimanded Master Xu: "Hurry up, show the two new treasures you developed, and let Mr. Ding take a look, and find fault with you!" ”

"I'm just waiting for Mr. Ding to give me more valuable advice on my new invention!"

Master Xu smiled disappreliantly, and said to Ding Chenggong: "Mr. Ding, you come with me, and I will let you see my new invention!" Be sure to give us more valuable advice! ”

Ding Chenggong smiled and snorted, and then walked through the production workshop of the artillery factory with Master Xu and came to a small workshop that seemed a little deserted. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"This is the experimental workshop and repair workshop that we have built."

Master Xu opened the door of the workshop, and while leading Ding Chenggong in, he explained with a smile: "The captured machine guns and artillery are more seriously damaged, so I will let the apprentices and new employees clean up this place, and let the technical experts come over to repair it when they have time." The usual research and development work is also carried out in this place. ”

Walking into the door of the workshop, Ding Chenggong saw that four or five Type 92 infantry guns, flat-fire guns, seven or eight Type 92 heavy machine guns, Czech light machine guns and crooked machine guns were neatly placed in the middle of the workshop.

Several skilled workers and masters were diligently repairing one of the Type 92 infantry guns.

After saying hello to these workers, Ding Chenggong followed Master Xu to another small room.

As soon as he entered the door, Ding Chenggong noticed that in the middle of the room, a newly made 60 mortar was being placed!

On the table opposite this 60 mortar, there is a new portable gun with a unique style.

"This is a sixty-millimeter mortar. It's a good thing! Ding Chenggong walked to the side of the 60 mortar and stroked it lovingly.

Immediately, he quickly walked to the side of this new portable gun, and carried the gun on his shoulder: "This is a recoilless gun, right?" Look at the caliber, it should be seventy millimeters? ”

"Mr. Ding has good eyesight!"

Master Xu nodded happily, and happily introduced: "This is the seventy mm smoothbore recoilless gun I figured out!" ”

"That's a good thing!"

Holding the recoilless gun on his shoulder, Ding Chenggong skillfully simulated a few standard shooting movements, stroked it for a while, and then reluctantly put it down, and asked Master Xu curiously: "Master Xu, how did you come up with this thing?" ”

"Last time, you brought a box of machined parts, and I happened to have a few sheets of old magazine wrapping paper!"

Master Xu smiled and said, "There are just a few articles about portable artillery in it, and it is also accompanied by photos and schematic diagrams. We selected the lightweight, easy-to-manufacture 60mm smoothbore mortar and the 82mm smoothbore recoilless gun for imitation. ”

As he spoke, Master Xu took Ding Chenggong to the office of his repair workshop, walked to a sturdy iron cabinet, took out the key, opened the triple secret lock on the cabinet, and carefully took out a sealed file bag.

After opening the seal of the file bag, Master Xu handed the file bag to Ding Chenggong with both hands.

Taking the file bag with both hands, Ding Chenggong thought about it, took out the white gauze gloves he carried with him, put them on his hands, and then opened it carefully, carefully took out the documents inside, and read them carefully.

After a closer look, Ding Chenggong found that these carefully preserved archival documents were actually a few articles in the magazine "Weapons" that roughly introduced the history of the PLA light artillery and several classic artillery!

Based on the incoherent page numbers and faintly visible folds on the paper, it is certain that these are the waste paper that has been haphazardly torn from expired magazines by workers in modern time and space to wrap machined parts.

"The 60 mortar, we are made of 60 mm seamless steel pipes made of rail steel."

Master Xu continued: "And the 82mm recoilless gun, with the current strength of the arsenal, it is very difficult to process such a large-caliber seamless steel pipe.

The seventy mm high-strength seamless steel tube you brought last time has been sitting idle in the warehouse because there is no plan to manufacture the Type 92 infantry gun for the time being. Let's just reduce the caliber and directly imitate it into a 70mm recoilless gun! ”

Ding Chenggong really didn't expect that with just these dozen or so expired magazines that he had inadvertently brought to the time and space of the Anti-Japanese War, the skilled craftsmen of the arsenal would successfully imitate a new type of artillery!

For such a top craftsman, Ding successfully admired the five-body throw!

It seems that next time we raise supplies, we must bring more technical information on advanced light weapons in the fifties and sixties for these creative and skilled craftsmen!

"That's amazing! Master Xu, you are amazing! ”

Ding Chenggong praised the seemingly simple and unpretentious Master Xu with admiration: "It's really an admirable five-body throw!" ”

"Mr. Ding, you are serious. I can't afford to be complimented like this! ”

Master Xu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I am a worker in our arsenal, work hard, and it is my business to manufacture weapons and ammunition for the troops!" It's my job to pick up a few gadgets in my spare time, so it's not a big deal! ”

"It's not like I'm exaggerating, it's amazing to be able to develop such a good new weapon!"

Ding Chenggong praised sincerely, and said to Master Xu: "Master Xu, how many 60 mortars and 70mm recoilless guns have you made?" Has the supporting ammunition been developed? ”

"I'll answer that question!"

Xu Yaming, who was in charge of the work of the ammunition factory, stood up and said with a smile: "According to the description in the data, combined with the experience of manufacturing rockets, we have successfully trial-produced armor-piercing bombs. The grenade was also manufactured, but because of the limitations of our equipment and materials, the 825 steel balls in it were difficult to process, and the output could not be increased! ”

"It's okay, I'll take care of this problem!"

Ding Chenggong immediately recorded this question in the notebook he carried with him, and then asked: "Then have these two new guns, especially this recoilless gun, been test-fired?" How's the power? Does it work well? ”

"Each of our two new weapons has been manufactured with four guns, all of which have undergone rigorous testing and test firing under various conditions!"

Zhao Guangcai, the head of the arsenal, smiled confidently: "The results of the test firing are very ideal, and the power of the 60 mortar and the 70 mm recoilless gun is amazing!" ”

As he spoke, Zhao Guangcai had already taken out the records of the artillery test firing and various experiments, as well as photos of the scene.

Looking at the detailed and strictly recorded experimental records, especially the photos of the effect records of the test launch site, Ding Chenggong was very satisfied!

"I really can't imagine that our arsenal is still so foreign, and we all use cameras!"

After carefully looking at the photos and information, Ding Chenggong smiled happily: "Who took this, it's quite clear!" ”

"It was taken by a full-time camera officer at our headquarters!"

Zhao Guangcai smiled confidently and said, "Mr. Ding, don't treat us as mountain people who have never seen the world. Before 918, this kid was already a photographer in the Fengtian time-honored photo studio.

This time on the skyscraper, the little devil's photographic equipment was seized, and Commander Yang set up a headquarters photography team. Knowing that we were going to test a new gun, we sent a camera team to help us take notes! ”

"Commander Yang is really far-sighted and far-sighted!"

After a little slap on the back of Yang Jingyu, after leaving the army for half a year, Ding Chenggong, who was hot at the new weapon, couldn't help but put forward a small request: "These two new weapons, especially this 70mm recoilless gun, can you let me try to shoot once?" ”

Looking at Ding Chenggong's eager look, Zhao Guangcai smiled without hesitation: "What's wrong with this?" Let's accompany you to the weapons test site and have a good game of two guns! ”

"Thank you so much!"

Ding Chenggong thanked him repeatedly, and urged anxiously: "I can't wait, let's go!" ”

Seeing that Ding Chenggong did not regard himself as a benefactor because he provided a large amount of material supplies for the Anti-Japanese Federation, but made a request very modestly, Zhao Guangcai was also very satisfied.

I respected Ding Chenggong even more in my heart, so I immediately took out the walkie-talkie without hesitation, connected to the administrator of the weapons test site, and said to Ding Chenggong after contacting the test-firing artillery: "Mr. Ding, please come with me!" ”

After leaving the arsenal, where he had already visited most of them, Ding Chenggong, together with the main leaders of the arsenal, got on three captured Japanese-made Mitsubishi three-wheeled motorcycles, and took a 60 mortar, a 70 recoilless gun, and supporting ammunition to the weapons test site three kilometers away.

Arriving at the test site, the administrator had already led the soldiers to clean up the shooting range and erect the target.

Seeing that he was ready for test firing, Zhao Guangcai was not polite, so he asked Ding Chenggong: "Mr. Ding, which cannon shall we test fire first?" ”

Ding Chenggong smiled slightly: "Let's test shoot the recoilless gun first!" ”

"Okay, I'll be your ammunition man!" Zhao Guangcai picked up a box of shells and said enthusiastically: "After the test firing is over, you must give more valuable opinions on our new weapons!" ”

"No problem, I'm not going to be polite to you!" Half-jokingly responded, Ding Chenggong picked up the recoilless gun and walked to the firing position under the leadership of Zhao Guangcai.

When he reached the position, Ding Chenggong half-squatted down. Zhao Guangcai immediately took out an armor-piercing shell, pulled the bolt, and skillfully loaded the shell.

As soon as the shells were loaded, Ding Chenggong stood up nimblely, aimed at a simulated pillbox three hundred meters away, and pulled the trigger hard!

Almost at the same time, a burst of flame erupted from the tail of the barrel, and the armor-piercing warhead flew out, hitting the target in an instant.

I heard a loud bang, and the round blockhouse made of bricks and stones turned into a pile of rubble in a blazing flame!

"Good cannon, really a good cannon!"

Putting down the artillery on his shoulders and looking at his shooting results, Ding Chenggong once again found the feeling of the king of soldiers who gave up on the training ground and in the exercises, and praised again and again: "With this kind of artillery, I will have more confidence in dealing with the big crusade against the little devils!" ”
