Walking into a huge underground bunker, through the lookout, a huge plain appeared in everyone's field of vision. Wang Guoqiang, deputy director of the factory, the commander-in-chief in charge of the weapons test, pointed to a narrow strip of land with a radius of several kilometers directly opposite, and introduced it to the commanders around him.

"Report to the chiefs, what you see in front of you is the test site of various artillery pieces in my Fengtian Arsenal. The artillery test site was built by taking advantage of the mountain col here, covering an area of about 2,200 acres, with a northwest and southeast direction, a length of about 3,000 meters, and a width of about 500 meters. Chiefs can observe through telescopes that the natural environment here has been modified by us, and is very suitable for the needs of various artillery tests. ”

While speaking, Liu Hua and the leaders behind him, under the reminder of Wang Guoqiang beside him, picked up the military binoculars handed by the staff one after another, and carefully observed the experimental site in front of them.

As far as the eye can see, the so-called artillery test site was indeed built by taking advantage of the terrain of the surrounding mountain cols, and the terrain and environment surrounded by mountains on three sides are not only convenient for weapons testing, but also conducive to the need for secrecy. At the foot of the mountain in the distance, there are more than a dozen artificial masonry-shaped blockhouses of different sizes, which makes these commanders who came in a hurry immediately think of the various pillbox fortifications built by the Japanese army in the battle with the Japanese army in peacetime.

Beyond the bunker, behind the bunker, there are all kinds of artificial terrain, including swamps, ponds, rivers, slopes, woods, and so on. Closer to the pillbox in the middle section, there are trenches, about a distance of about 1,000 to 1,500 meters. There were many straw-tied dummies in the trenches, as well as machine-gun emplacements, artillery emplacements, and command posts. In a word, what you can see on the battlefield in peacetime can be clearly seen in this small artillery experimental plant.

Behind Liu Hua, a group of commanders with rich combat experience, seeing the test site in front of them, of course knew very clearly: These arrangements must be used to test the specific lethal effect of the shells after they explode. In front of the trenches were a variety of targets from far and near, some resembling standing enemies, others resembling half-crouching or lying enemies, and some more like shelters had been chosen....

"Okay, this weapon test site is well built, it's a bit regular..."After a quick glance at the field in front of him, Liu Hua said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, as far as I know, there is no such large-scale and regular weapons testing site in the entire country. It seems that this weapons test site under the Fengtian Arsenal of our Northeast Field Army has set a precedent in the whole country..."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan followed closely behind, and said with a happy face....

"Report to the chiefs, such a huge project can still achieve such good results, all comrades of the special operations division, under the guidance of several engineers of our arsenal, based on their own actual combat experience, it took a whole week to complete the construction. If you want to commend the leaders, you must give a good praise to the comrades of the special operations division. Seeing the smiling leaders in front of him, Wang Guoqiang hurriedly replied.

"In order to achieve the best results at this weapons test site, it can be said that they worked day and night for a week, and each of them has made very great efforts for this weapons test site."

"Okay, since Director Wang said it, then we will do it. Political commissar, after returning home, he will circulate and praise the entire field army, and give a collective third-class meritorious service to all the commanders and fighters of the special operations division. Liu Hua ordered very decisively.

"Boss, don't worry. After I returned, I immediately commended the special operations division in the name of the field army headquarters and throughout the army, and recorded a collective third-class meritorious service...."Political Commissar Luo Ronghua assured.

Liu Hua nodded, raised the telescope in his hand, and looked at the test site outside the underground bunker, a radius of several kilometers. I saw that on the artillery position about two hundred meters away from the bunker, dozens of fighters were gathering together, as if they were busy assembling something. Liu Hua asked with a smile on his face.

"Director Wang, now we are all here. Which weapon are you going to demonstrate to us? Let's also open our eyes. ”

"Report to the leaders, the next thing to demonstrate to you is the 'China 105 mm multiple rocket launcher' that the soldiers are assembling two hundred meters away. Next, I will take advantage of the gap between the soldiers assembling the artillery to give you a brief introduction, the specific performance of this weapon that I have just developed in the Fengtian Arsenal? Wang Guoqiang pointed to the soldiers who were busy not far away, and replied to Liu Hua in front of him. "As far as I know, this weapon has not yet been installed in other countries of the world, including the United States. Only the Soviet Red Army was in a state of research and development of a number of new weapons systems. The 'Zhonghua Type 105 mm Multiple Rocket Launcher' that we have developed is mainly used as a fire support weapon at the division and regiment level. ”

"Wait a minute, Deputy Director Wang. What kind of rocket artillery are you talking about, even the US Army has not been equipped, and the Soviet Red Army is in the process of developing and cutting off, so we have studied it. As soon as Wang Guoqiang's words fell, political commissar Luo Ronghua asked with a shocked face.

Because in his heart, a heavy weapon that was not even developed by the advanced United States and the Soviet Union was developed by his own backward country, and this could not but make him shocked and unbelievable.

More importantly, their own troops, although equipped with many large-caliber howitzers captured by the Japanese army on the battlefield. But because of the problems of transportation and ammunition, coupled with the air superiority of the Japanese army. In terms of heavy fire support at the division and regiment level, unless there is a particularly large battle, the large-caliber artillery of the heavy artillery brigade will basically not be used.

And the weapon that Wang Guoqiang is about to introduce in front of him, if the performance is good, can just make up for the shortcomings of his own troops' lack of heavy firepower. And this happens to be the issue that political commissar Luo Ronghuan is most concerned about. Thinking of this, Luo Ronghuan's eyes immediately showed a hint of edge, waiting for Wang Guoqiang's answer in front of him.

In the underground bunker, under the expectant gaze of all the commanders, Wang Guoqiang spoke.

"Rocket artillery is not actually a new weapon system, it has been used militarily as early as the Song Dynasty in China. The developed rocket weapons include swarms, directional rods, 10,000 enemies, and so on, all of which belong to the primitive form of rocket artillery weapon systems. ”

Seeing that everyone was stunned because of their own explanations, they were all stunned and waiting for the following. Wang Guoqiang continued to speak.

"After the last world war, due to the invention of machine guns, weapons of mass destruction systems were highly valued by armies and arms companies around the world. Germany, Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, and other countries are secretly developing rocket artillery weapon systems, and all of them have made considerable progress. What we are going to show you is a multiple launch rocket system, the principle of which first came from a swarm of bees in our Song Dynasty in China. ”

"The Chinese 105-mm multiple rocket launcher is a six-barrel rocket artillery system, which can launch six 105-mm rockets at one time, with a maximum range of six kilometers, an effective range of four to five kilometers, and an effective killing area of 80 square meters that can be covered by one launch. The overall weight of the weapon system is lighter, at 280 kg, and its largest component is also only 25 kg. Therefore, the Zhonghua 105-mm MLRS also has a good maneuverability, which can be towed by mules, horses or cars, or disassembled and transported by manpower. In particular, in special cases, simple launches can also be carried out using single, double or triple tubes. ”

"Another important advantage is that the launch preparation time and launch time of the Chinese 105-mm multiple rocket launcher are very short, a rocket launcher of this type can be assembled or disassembled within 15 minutes, and a salvo of all rockets can be completed within 6 seconds, and the firepower is very fierce compared with other artillery."

"At the same time, this weapon system, to a certain extent, can also be disassembled for a separate special operation. A muscular special forces fighter can carry this single rocket launcher and two shells to the launch point on his own. Attack the enemy's key targets from a long distance, then evacuate safely. It is worth mentioning that, if necessary. 105-mm shells can do without a launcher. Put it directly on the ground, and after aiming, you can use a few ordinary batteries and two ordinary wires or wires to launch, and the operation is very simple. ”

Although, as the commander-in-chief, Liu Hua is very familiar with this kind of rocket artillery that is almost rampant in African countries in later generations. However, after hearing Wang Guoqiang's specific introduction in front of him, he couldn't help but applaud. After all, with such a secret weapon in his hands, he has more possibilities to win in future battles.

With a round of applause resounded inside the underground bunker. Commander Sun Xingbang, who was lying at the overlook of the bunker and paying attention to the artillery position 200 meters away, couldn't help but let out a trace of exclamation. "Okay, the rocket artillery is out." Commander-in-chief, rocket artillery is out ...."

As soon as Sun Xingbang's words fell, the commanders standing behind Liu Hua, including political commissar Luo Ronghuan, raised the binoculars in their hands almost at the same time. Through the lookout in front of him, he quickly looked at the artillery position that was going a few hundred meters away.

Sure enough, at a distance of about two hundred meters from the bunker, three strange-looking six-barreled weapon systems stood on the gun position, and it could be seen that this was the rocket artillery that Wang Guoqiang was talking about. Next to these three rocket launchers, several fighters are very quickly stuffing thick ammunition into the long barrel, waiting for the final launch.

"Report to the chiefs, this is the latest Chinese 105-mm multiple rocket launcher developed by my Fengtian Arsenal. At present, this rocket artillery is the first rocket artillery produced and finalized in the whole of China, and it is also the first rocket artillery in the entire Asian region. Pointing to the three rocket launchers on the gun position not far away, Wang Guoqiang introduced proudly.

As soon as Wang Guoqiang's words fell, a commander ran over quickly and reported loudly to the commanders in the bunker in front of him.

"Report to the chiefs, Director Wang, all the gun emplacements are ready, waiting for launch..."

"Very good, I order, the bunker group 1,500 meters in front of the target, each artillery position will fire a rapid shot, and fire it immediately..."Wang Guoqiang turned to the commander at the door, and ordered with an excited face. Immediately, a pair of eyes also showed a look of expectation, and quickly looked through the lookout and looked at the artillery position two hundred meters away.

In the bunker, under the gaze of all. As one of the commanders waved the small red flag in his hand vigorously on the artillery position, a huge roar immediately sounded on the three artillery positions: "Launch...."

"Whoosh whoosh...whoosh..."

Immediately after, rows of rockets whizzed out of the long barrels. And the smoke from the tail flame of the artillery shell enveloped the entire artillery position in just a moment.

The rockets quickly swept across the sky, forming obvious trails of white smoke. However, it was quickly blown away by the wind. But a few seconds. In the distance, the bunkers and trenches exploded violently, as if they had been bombarded by bombs dropped by bombers.

Needless to say, the rockets fired spectacularly, but time flew by. Before you realize it. The launch was over, as if in the blink of an eye. All the commanders in the concealment department raised the binoculars in their hands one by one in a daze, and none of them put it down. Even the commander-in-chief, Liu Hua, was stunned by the power of the Chinese 105-mm MLRS.

"Let's go, let's take a look at the effect of the shelling..."After half a minute of shock, I don't know who was the first to react, shouting loudly at everyone in the concealment department. However, as soon as his words fell, the commanders standing behind Liu Hua were except for political commissar Luo Ronghua. The rest of the people rushed out of the hidden department in a swarm. Then, he rushed to the shooting range not far away.

Looking at the excited people around him, Liu Hua shook his head with a wry smile, and asked Wang Guoqiang in front of him: "Director Wang, although I haven't seen the final shelling effect yet. But I am sure that such a dense and short artillery bombardment will be absolutely devastating to the infantry and all kinds of light and heavy weapons exposed to the position. Therefore, for this weapon, the arsenal must hurry up and produce it. How about it, Director Wang, what is the specific production capacity of the arsenal for this rocket artillery? ”

"Report the chief, for such rocket artillery, artillery is more difficult to produce than artillery shells. At present, if we concentrate on the production of this rocket launcher, we can achieve a daily production capacity of five artillery pieces and 300 rounds of rockets...."

"Okay, Nissan five rocket launchers, it's already very good. In this way, Director Wang, I will give you another task. In addition to the semi-automatic rifles just mentioned, you have to produce 60 rocket launchers and corresponding ammunition for me within half a month. Of course, the more rockets the better, and there are no problems. Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered.

"Please rest assured, the chief, promise to complete the task..."After a short thought, Wang Guoqiang replied confidently. After measuring the specific effect of the shelling, a staff officer quickly came to the concealment department. At this moment, after observing the effects of the shelling, the commanders at all levels, with shocked and excited expressions on their faces, also returned to the concealment department one after another, waiting for the staff officers in front of them to report on the specific effects of the shelling.

"Report to the chiefs, Director Wang, the investigation of the shelling site has been completed!" Under the gaze of everyone's expectant eyes, the staff officer standing in front of everyone hurriedly reported loudly.

"The commander-in-chief and the leaders are here, let's report the specific situation..."Wang Guoqiang nodded and replied to the staff officer in front of him.

"Yes," the staff officer replied loudly. and quickly opened the notebook in his hand and reported to the commanders in front of him.

"The live-fire test of the 105-mm multi-rocket launcher of the Chinese type-1 was fired in three salvos, and a total of 18 rockets were launched at a launch distance of 1,570 meters. According to the on-site investigation, all the rockets were concentrated in the target area, and there were no duds. The area covered by artillery fire is 61 meters long from east to west and 47.5 meters wide from north to south. All surface positions in the target area were destroyed, and the half-hidden underground concealment was crushed. ”

"According to the on-site investigation, the farthest killing radius of rocket fragmentation is 45.2 meters, and the effective killing radius is 25.5 meters. The maximum crater diameter is 2.8 meters, the minimum crater diameter is 1.7 meters, the maximum crater depth is 1.5 meters, and the minimum crater depth is 0.72 meters. The maximum fragmentation of the rocket is 41 mm by 27 mm, and the minimum fragmentation is 22 mm by 13 mm. After the report was completed, the on-site investigation staff: Yan Fukuan, Dong Chunwei. ”

"Very good, the on-site investigation report should be sent to the assessment room of the arsenal." Hearing the flurry of data in the mouth of the staff officer in front of him, Wang Guoqiang nodded with great satisfaction. Quickly pick up the notebook. After signing his name on it, he ordered to the staff officer in front of him.

"Yes, Chief..."

"Report to the leaders, this is the first three-gun salvo test since the development of the 105-mm multiple rocket launcher of the Chinese type-1. Judging by the specific shooting effect and the results of the investigation of the explosion site. Not only did it fully achieve the desired design effect, but even better. The explosion effect on the spot showed that the salvo power of the rocket launcher far exceeded the effect of a single shot. Not only does it cover a large area and the explosion effect is good, but also the short-term critical vacuum state formed by the simultaneous explosion of a large number of rockets increases the lethal effect. Looking at the staff officers who were leaving quickly, Wang Guoqiang said proudly to the leaders at all levels in front of him.

As soon as Wang Guoqiang's words fell, the leaders at all levels, headed by Liu Hua, immediately responded with warm applause. The entire concealment department was immediately enveloped in warm applause.
