Chapter 336: Conscription (4)
In the video obtained from the United States, a group of middle-aged uncles from the United States are wearing military uniforms during the military war in the United States...... It can be seen that their military uniforms still belonged to the Confederate Army at that time.
They stood up straight one by one, pretending to be forced, and there were eight men in all, except for the gunner, who seemed to be divided into gunners one through seven.
Director Lin Shengli saw the stupid artillery commander among them, who seemed to be wearing a captain's costume. Only to hear him order: "Prepare to launch!" ”
After receiving this order, the first and third gunners, who were holding the projectile pusher and the gun brush, walked to the right of the gun muzzle and stood still; Gunner No. 2 stood to the left of the muzzle, ready to receive the shells and cartridges for a while and load them into the chamber; After cleaning the chamber with a gun brush, the No. 3 gunner made the appearance of protecting the gun's fire door.
Gunner No. 4 stood to the left of the breech, and he was going to punch a hole in the medicine bag through the guò fire door in a moment. After the medicine bag is installed, insert the ignition tube and tie the fire rope.
Still in that world, there are quite a few people who watch this video seriously, but no one has paid attention to Lin Shengli's loss, besides, what does he have to lose? It's just a video.
Everyone was watching intently, especially the security team - they were probably going to play with this thing, or at least teach others.
In the video, gunner No. 5 is standing behind the gun carriage, waiting by his side while gunners six and seven prepare their ammunition.
Gunners six and seven seem to be the busiest in the entire artillery firing, and in the footage at the end of the video, they have to cut the fuses and load them into shells all the time.
The gunner then gave the order to reload, and everyone got busy.
Their target was five oil drums laid out in a horizontal row 300 meters away.
Gunner No. 7, who was at the back of the gun carriage, was pretending to check the form affixed to the lid of the car.
The video also gives a close-up of the table: it details the required angles of fire for the corresponding shells, charges, and ranges, as well as the flight time of the corresponding shells.
This table, Mi Guoyan also gave it to them, but Lin Shengli didn't care about it at the time, because this thing had to be tested a little bit by himself, and other people's numbers were not good, so it could only be regarded as a reference.
The No. 7 gunner, after finding the required angle of fire, shouted to the gunner.
The gunner used the quadrant to determine the angle of fire and adjusted it with the sights, while at the same time ordering the third and fourth gunners to adjust the guns using the hand sticks at the tail of the guns in vulgar language, while the guns were to make appropriate corrections according to the wind direction and strength.
Of course, the rice guys are often indispensable in the middle of greetings to the female families of these two unlucky ghosts.
There is also the sound of laughter from the audience not far away in the video, which is really fucking not strict.
At this time, No. 7 appropriately cut the length of the delay fuse according to the hit time, and then pulled out the movable plug from the fuse hole of the shell, and lightly struck the fuse into the appropriate position of the fuse hole.
When the shells were ready, Gunner No. 5 went into action, loading them into the so-called "gunner's rucksack", a backpack used to carry the shells, and carrying it to the gunner's position.
The gunner inspected the shells to ensure that they were fused, that they were the required ammunition, and that the cartridges had not leaked gunpowder or had been otherwise damaged.
After the shell was checked, the gun commander gave the command to "continue", and the fifth gunner received the order and went straight to the gun, where he handed the shell to the second gunner. The shells are placed in the muzzle of the gun by the No. 2 gunner, and the No. 1 gunner pushes them into the bore with a projectile, after which the No. 1 and No. 2 gunners leave the gun and stand behind the muzzle with their backs to the enemy.
At the same time, gunner No. 4 made a hole in the kit, then took out the firing tube, hooked the ring with the firing rope and inserted it into the fire door, then left the gun, picked up the firing and waited for the firing order.
The commander of the Mi country forced the artillery to officially issue an order at this time, "FIRE!" ”
By this time, they had already spent a minute and a half.
Their entire artillery carriage jumped backwards, and then as a puff of white smoke rose, it was visible to the naked eye, and a round cannonball shot out at a rapid pace...... At that time, Lin Shengli understood at a glance that the propellant of these Zimi countrymen was DIY by himself, and now he can't find a gunpowder product with such a big smoke.
Hahaha, Mi Guoyan did not hit the target, you can see that behind that row of oil drums, on a large dirt slope, a cloud of earth smoke rises, and they don't have much explosives in the shells.
There was applause in the video, it's really shit, and it applauded if it didn't hit, it should be considered a bad luck.
As soon as the artillery is fired, it is necessary to assess whether the shell hit accurately.
If you are actually on the battlefield, without the dizziness and confusion that comes with the smoke and noise, the job is still very easy to do, because the projectile in flight is easy to observe, even if it is fired by a modern howitzer at a speed of up to 750 m / s.
The gun commander had to determine exactly where the fired shell landed so that it could be corrected for the next shot.
The commander of the gunners pretended to observe the target with a monocular, while the other gunners rolled the gun back into position and began to re-clean the chamber in preparation for a second round of fire.
At the order of the commander of gun, they readjusted the artillery, corrected the angle of fire, and the steps were the same as in the first round.
Another shot was fired, and you could see that the oil drum was broken, and the water inside was full of water...... Some viewers screamed in their excitement...... Lin Shengli didn't look at it, he thought to himself, if he also had this condition, he dared to guarantee a ...... in one shot The level of the rice guys is not good.
Wu Jianqiang asked Lin Shengli at that time and said, "Isn't it difficult...... I look at those guys like they're playing games......"
"They're just playing! …… That gunner and No. 7 gunner, we will train them well in the future...... However, this artillery group must definitely have the spirit of obedience to orders! ”
"Don't worry, I've cultivated this spirit ......."
At that time, Wu Jianqiang didn't know why he felt that Lin Shengli didn't seem to be very happy, and thought to himself, intellectuals are just a little weird.
The marching artillery of the Luan Brigade is ready-made, but the secondary artillery of the Haian Brigade has to be changed...... This is why Captain Sun Yu is more concerned.
The secondary guns of the Haian Brigade were mainly changed on the gun mounts.
At that time, Lin Shengli said that we can only change the gun carriage and turn it into a retreat type, which is easy.
Lin Shengli also carefully checked the information, maybe it was too old, and he didn't find the structural diagram of the retreating gun mount, so he simply designed a gun mount by himself...... The principle is there, and everything remains the same.
Under this gun mount, Lin Shengli designed a ramp-like track setting with a low front and a high rear and a simplified hydraulic press.
After numerical calculations on paper, this kind of artillery at the same time as the firing, the overall recoil, the gun carriage moves backwards and upwards, and the hydraulic cylinder piston that drives the auxiliary buffer in the process can consume part of the recoil, and after reaching a certain height, the recoil energy is exhausted, and due to the gravity relationship, it begins to slide down the slope and return to the gun position.
For safety, extreme protection chains can also be installed above the gun carriage to prevent the recoil from rushing out of the tracks.
At that time, after looking at the drawings, everyone felt that it was too simple...... Lin Shengli said: "Be content, this is invincible in the 17th century, this is the most suitable for the Ming people to use a front-loading smoothbore artillery, and there is no longer a more cost-effective ...... Besides, in terms of the preparation of shells, our lathe technology still has a huge advantage, even if someone else imitates the artillery, we can ensure that no one can prepare suitable shells for it in batches......"
At this time, everyone was convinced, there is no best, only the most suitable.
In mid-February 1650, the Han Tang Group introduced a policy of recruiting new security guards. For a time, Taiwan's folk were boiling.
Needless to say, the benefits of being a security team member of Hantang Group...... What's more, the retreat is good, it is said that the guy who broke one hand has become the head of the knot, and he is the leader of Pinghu Island, what if he is a good hand......
The number of people who signed up was very overwhelming...... The people in the security department of the Hantang Group made a preliminary calculation, and there were 5,000 people. In this way, there is room for selection, and the people in the security department are happy and happy all day long.
But Wang Guotao, the head of the animal husbandry station in the second-floor Xingxi area, was a little unhappy.
The first batch of personnel recruited by Hantang Group is mainly in the second-layer Xingxi area. This is the old district level of Hantang Group...... At the same time, it has now begun to provide poultry, chickens, ducks and goose eggs and a certain amount of pig and mutton and fresh goat milk to Hantang Group in batches...... It can be said that in the two-layer Xingxi area, the Hantang Group pays and harvests more than one to ten, of course, this is related to the use of modern breeding technology, but also related to the payment of Wang Guotao.
Therefore, the top and bottom of the Hantang Group have more respect for Wang Guotao, really, people are a person with a group of people to open the situation with one hand and one foot, although he has the strong support of the Hantang Group behind him, but thinking of a person there, there is no network, no cable broadcasting, no companions...... How lonely it must be.
No one in Hantang Group has yet been able to enter the emotional world of Wang Guotao, and no one knows that he is enjoying his own little happiness.
Wang Guotao stationmaster was angry that there were not many young men left in the second-floor Xingxi area, and this time there were many recruits for security team members, and there were still a lot of people who signed up, and the security department seemed to have the intention to implement policies in this place, the old area...... But do you want this animal husbandry base?!
Wu Dapeng, the chairman of the board of directors directly found by Wang Guotao, even if the chairman is a cigarette and a teamaker, he is still a little unhappy...... If he really recruits those young people away, he may not have anyone in his hands who can do their work...... People who don't live in the countryside don't know how tiring those farms must be......
Chairman Wu Dapeng said: "Didn't we add a few more manpower grinders to you? ”
Wang Guotao, the stationmaster, was angry and said, "Do you think that the farm only needs green fodder?" A woman can do the work of a human grinder, but only a transportation job...... Where can they do it? ”
"Why don't I give you ten more carts?"
"You can have this, but you still can't recruit from me...... Just worked in a feed processing plant, a farm, a slaughterhouse, and you want to run? No, absolutely not......"
"Okay, Stationmaster Wang, I'll inform the security department and try not to use people from the second-floor Xingxi area...... If we don't want one, we are afraid of hurting the enthusiasm of the Ming people to defend the Hantang Group...... You tell me. Stationmaster Wang? ”
"That's right, don't want one, it's not good ......"
"Stationmaster Wang, if you have any other requirements, please put them forward."
"I also want the two-story stream to be able to pass through a four-wheeled carriage like Rechi Avenue! It's too much trouble to make a boat back and forth, or just walk......"
"Haha, Stationmaster Wang, don't worry, the security team recruited this time will first gather to do a big project...... This road has long been counted as one...... The big head is still open up and spring planting! ”
"Damn, chairman, are you recruiting laborers?"
"No, my stationmaster, we are going to observe in our labor the Akito who can fully obey the order...... Nothing else is as important as this! ”
