On the weapon test field that had just been drawn out outside the city, Yan Guang, who ran out because he was handsome and only wore a black woolen military uniform, hugged his shoulders and stomped his feet in the cold wind. "Why is that guy Yue Chang so slow..."

Yue Chang in Yan Guang's mouth is the new personal adjutant, and the old Feng Nan has been designated as the commander of the first division...

Looking at Yan Guang's appearance, several other people on the side had the intention to take off their windbreakers and other things for Yan Guang to put on, but they were all rejected by Yan Guang.

"Governor, trench coat." Just when Yan Guang was a little frozen, Yue Chang, who ran back to the Governor's Mansion to get a windbreaker, finally rushed back.

"You kid is so slow..."Yan Guang complained as he hurriedly changed into a trench coat.

Although it was obvious that Yan Guang ran out without wearing a windbreaker while he was handsome, but in the face of Yan Guang's complaints, Yue Chang could only be speechless, fortunately, he followed Yan Guang for a few years, and Yue Chang also knew that Yan Guang loved to joke about his surname, so he didn't take it to heart.

Just when Yan Guang had just put on his windbreaker, Yang Kai, the superintendent of the arsenal, also ran over with Liu Huixue.

"Dudu, everything is almost ready..."No longer as scared as at the beginning, Yang Kai is now a little fatter than when he first met.

has already planned in his heart, just wait for the arrival of the production equipment ordered from Shanghai, prepare for the new factory and remove Yang Kai, the superintendent, and replace it with a confidant Yan Guang nodded. "Let's get started."

After getting the order to start, Liu Huixue and several technicians from the arsenal hurriedly ran to a mortar for debugging, while Yan Guang ran into a bunker with Yue Chang and others. Although it took Liu Huixue and others only a little more than a month to try out a mortar after understanding the principle of mortar, experiments, especially weapon experiments, usually carry great dangers, and these dangers are usually unexpected.

Although Yan Guang was the inspirer of mortars, he didn't want to give his life for it, even if the probability was only 1 in 10,000...

After Yan Guang and the others all ran into the bunker, Yang Kai, who came in together, shouted to Liu Huixue outside. "Lao Liu, you can start!"

Waving his hand in the direction of the bunker, Liu Huixue first aimed the mortar at the target fortification two kilometers away, and then motioned to his assistant to place a mortar shell at the muzzle.

"Let go!"

Hearing Liu Huixue's order, the assistant hurriedly let go of the hands holding the cannonball.

With a muffled sound, the primer at the tail of the shell flew directly out of the barrel after hitting the firing pin. However, it is a pity that the point of impact of the shell is not the target, but a distance of more than ten meters from the target.

"It's a pity..."Putting down the binoculars, Yan Guang looked at Wang Yaowu, Zhu Qinglan, Yang Shan, Peng Xiu and others who he had specially dragged over on the side.

At this time, Wang Yaowu, Zhu Qinglan and others also saw some doorways.

"Dudu, the trajectory of this mortar seems to be a bit like a mountain cannon (howitzer)..."

"No, the trajectory seems to be more curved than the mountain artillery..."

At this moment, Liu Huixue and his assistant had already fired the second mortar shell, and this time the impact point was only two or three meters away from the preset target position.

"It seems that the next shot will be able to get in..."Nodding, Yan Guang put down the binoculars and said to Wang Yaowu and the others. Well, now I understand why I got this mortar out..."

"Somewhat understood..."

The difference between howitzers and mortars is mainly in the trajectory and range, of course, as well as the volume, etc., compared to howitzers, the trajectory of mortars is more curved, of course, the range is relatively short. However, mortars themselves are well suited for mountain and urban warfare, attacking hostile targets behind obstacles, such as trenches.

The howitzer is relatively straighter (just relative) and too large in size, but the range is more than two or three times stronger than that of the mortar, and the power is much more ferocious, so it is more suitable for suppressing and striking cluster targets (personnel) in the field.

Just when Wang Yaowu, Zhu Qinglan and others understood, Liu Huixue and others in the distance finally smashed a mortar shell into the trench after further modulation.

"Okay, this shot is accurate!" Looking at the shells that were directly stuffed into the trenches, Yan Guang clapped his hands.

Wang Yaowu, Zhu Qinglan and others on the side were also discussing. "If you shoot at close range, you can hit the enemy in the fortifications directly..."

"That's right, the trajectory is too curved, and if it is aimed, it will be difficult to dodge even in the trenches..."

While several people were talking, Liu Huixue and his assistant stuffed two more mortar shells into the trench to show that the shot just now was not luck.

Not knowing that he was already sure that he would be driven down from the position of superintendent by Yan Guang, after cheering twice for Liu Huixue and his mortar, Yang Kai leaned in with a smile. "I don't know if the governor is satisfied with the results of our factory?"

Although it was clear that Yang Kai basically did not contribute much in this matter, Yan Guang still nodded. "You're doing a good job."

At this time, Liu Huixue and his assistant walked in. "The Governor..."

It is clear that the mortar can be trial-produced in more than a month, thanks to the politeness of Liu Huixue and his colleagues and assistants, Yan Guang. "Thank you for your hard work, Master Liu..."

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

At this time, Wang Yaowu, Zhu Qinglan and others, who already knew the value of mortars, walked up. "Inspector Yang, I don't know how many mortars your factory can produce every month?"

Although Yang Kai didn't have much ability, he was also the direct manager of the arsenal after all, and he also made up for it with Liu Huixue and others before he came, so he hurriedly replied. "About 60 mortars of 10 mm caliber can be produced per month, 80 caliber ones can be produced 6 pieces, and 120 caliber mortars can be produced 3 pieces per month ..."

"So little?" Wang Yaowu was a little surprised.

However, Yang Kai just smiled bitterly. "Minister Wang, it's already quite a lot." Saying that, Yang Kai explained to Wang Yaowu and the others. "When our factory was built, it was just to provide guns and ammunition for the Sichuan army, and there was no ability to make artillery at all, which is also mortar, if it is mountain artillery and field artillery, I am afraid that we will not be able to build a few guns a year..."

There is a specialization in the art industry, and for the Sichuan Arsenal, the thing of making artillery itself has already crossed the line.

"Then if the equipment in Shanghai is delivered, how many doors can you build every month."

"Equipment in Shanghai?" Yang Kai thought for a moment. "I don't know the specifics, after all, mortars are different from ordinary mountain artillery and field artillery, but if there is a complete set of production equipment, then 100 60, 50 80 and 30 120 per month should be absolutely fine..."
