Chapter 33: Shooting on the March
In order to make it easier for Chairman Chiang and the officers to watch, the artillery target was set up on a hillside 2 kilometers away, and a large circle with a diameter of 20 meters was drawn in white, and there was a red logo in the center of the target. The www.biquge.info of the pen and the fun pavilion are very eye-catching in the verdant green.
Because of the demonic behavior of the Xia Dynasty, the director of the artillery teaching and research department was very careful and observed for 5 minutes before starting the test firing.
The head of the teaching and research department is really powerful. The test-fired shell hit the target, and although it was on the edge of the target, it was amazing enough. Everyone responded with applause and encouragement.
Under the leadership of the director of the artillery department, the instructors of the four departments adjusted the artillery and officially began firing.
The first shell exploded at a distance of 6 meters from the bull's-eye, with excellent results. The lethality of artillery is achieved not by the impact of the shell, but by the shock wave and a large number of shrapnel from the explosion of the shell. THE IG-1875MM INFANTRY GUN ARMED BY THE GERMAN ARMAMENT DIVISION HAS A CALIBER OF 75 CM, A SHELL WEIGHT OF 5.45 KG, AND A KILL RADIUS OF 15 METERS. 6 meters from the bullseye, of course, is a good result.
The members of the department became more and more courageous, the second shell was 3 meters away from the bull's-eye, and the last shot hit the bull's-eye almost directly.
The shelling took 12 minutes to complete.
The outstanding performance of the artillery department won a round of applause. Chairman Jiang and other members of the CPPCC National Committee also nodded their heads frequently to express their appreciation.
General Seckert said: "The level of teaching at the Central Military Academy is very high, and it is close to the level of teaching in German military academies. While he praised, he did not forget to praise the German army.
The instructors of the department who participated in the shooting could not help but feel a little proud in their hearts, they did not believe that Xia Chao would be able to achieve better results.
It's summer's turn to play.
Xia Chao stood on the gun position, heard the referee's whistle, and began to measure the shooting data, he looked intently, and a series of data appeared in front of him: the distance was 1125.32 meters, and the elevation angle was 29.66 dense. At the same time, his perception was activated: the wind speed was 6.34 m/s, the wind direction was 19.57 degrees, the air temperature was 24.54 degrees, and the air pressure was 1.004 atmospheres. According to the comprehensive measurement, the shooting elements are: 31.30 dense positions on the ruler and 17.50 dense positions in the direction.
In the summer, the artillery was adjusted, the test fire was carried out, and it hit the bull's-eye directly. There was an uproar at the scene!
The instructors of the artillery teaching and research department stared at each other, and no one said anything. General Seckert couldn't help but stand up, despite the telescope in his hand.
The recoil of artillery shots is high, and the bulky barrel is also displaced after firing. PRECISION SHOOTING NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED AT ALL TIMES, WHICH IS WHY IT TAKES 1875 PEOPLE TO OPERATE THE IG-5MM INFANTRY GUN.
I saw Xia Xiang grasp the gun carriage with both hands, and I didn't see him work so hard, and the gun body weighing 400 kg was adjusted. Next, the summer fired 3 shots in a row, and all the shells hit the bull's-eye, and when you look at it from the rostrum, it is covered at one point!
The whole shooting took 4 minutes!
There was silence. Once again, people were stunned.
General Seckert took the lead in applauding, and said in his mouth: "It's incredible. ”
The audience erupted in warm applause. Fang Jiaming and Xia Chao's squadron, and even the instructors and staff of the first brigade were proud: Xia Chao was one of them after all.
Chen Linyu's hands were flushed, and her face became more and more red.
In the next scheduled competition events, everyone gave up on all the individual skills of the competition.
He Yingqin was unwilling in his heart, looking at the elite officer squad he brought, only to see that they all shook their heads, and no one dared to come out to compete.
Admiral He Yingqin hinted that the people of the supervision team came forward. The department in charge of chariotology was forced to come out.
General Seckert spoke: "In order to save time, the people of the Central Military Academy should not participate, I will just watch the performance of the Xia Dynasty." "Well, there is no competition yet, and the qualification of the teaching and research department has been directly cancelled.
The main combat vehicles used for teaching at the Central Military Academy are the Carden Lloyd ultralight tank, the FT-17 tank, the German-made Type I tank (Sd.Kfz101), and the German-made Sd.Kfz221/222 armored search vehicle.
General Seckert asked the summer court to demonstrate the driving of these vehicles and the handling of the main weapons.
Summer went around skillfully driving these chariots. General Seckert expressed great satisfaction.
Next is the tank artillery firing technique.
To complete the line artillery shooting, it is impossible to do it by a person in the summer, he needs an assistant. When he made this request, Li Meng, the head of training, was about to call for the instructors of the chariot teaching and research department to cooperate. A major general officer took the initiative to stand up and offered to drive the tank.
This major general officer was one of the elite officers selected by General He Yingqin. He also has a resounding name: Du Yuming. (He served as the commander of the 5th Army, led his troops to participate in the Battle of Guinan, commanded the Kunlun Pass in Guinan to fight against Japan, and severely damaged the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, known as the "Steel Army".) )
In April 1937, the National Revolutionary Army Armored Corps was established in Fangshan, Nanjing, which is generally regarded as the beginning of China's armored forces. This unit is a multi-arm composite armored force, rather than the previous single-arm unit, and its scale is far superior to other armored units in the country. The armored corps includes the combat vehicle training battalion of the Jiao Baggage School, the armored automobile team under the second regiment of the traffic corps, and other units, and the regiment commander Du Yuming is designated inside.
Unlike other officers who were selected, he asked for it on his own initiative. When he heard that someone was challenging all the items, including the chariot, he was immediately unconvinced. You must know that in this era, the chariot is one of the most advanced and valuable weapons, and ordinary people simply cannot touch it. He wanted to come and see for himself what kind of person was so arrogant?!
Xia Chao and Du Yuming drove a German-made I tank (Sd.Kfz101) directly in front of the rostrum, and they had to complete a shooting show at a distance of 500 meters.
Du Yuming drove the tank, looking ahead, but his ears were paying attention to the instructions of the Xia Dynasty. Always ready to park.
Tanks of the World War II era, which did not have the current two-way stabilization system. When firing accurately, you must stop and aim, otherwise, the gods will not know where the shells will fly.
Suddenly, he heard a loud bang, and Xia Chao had already fired a cannon. Du Yuming was taken aback, and he asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Xia Chao said: "It's okay, you just need to drive." ”
Because Du Yuming was traveling laterally, he couldn't see the target of the shot, and he didn't know how well he was fighting. However, this is an assessment of the Xia Dynasty, since he said so, Du Yuming just drives.
The sudden shelling also startled all the spectators. Everyone waited for the tank to stop shooting, but they didn't expect the people to open fire directly. Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the tank target, only to see one target blown to pieces.
At this time, the sound of artillery sounded again on the tank, and the target was shattered. Then the tank began to climb the slope, and at that moment, another shot was fired on the tank. Soon the tank turned around and fired a shot on the downhill slope. Don't ask, all in the middle!
Back in front of the rostrum, Du Yuming got off the tank and found that all the tank targets were gone. He looked Xia Chao up and down and said, "Brother Xia, can you discuss something?" ”
