“...... Bang!" As the muzzle flame lit up, Qin Shouzhuo could almost see a point of light flying out of the muzzle, cutting through an almost straight arc, stirring up a wave of earth on the dirt slope behind the chest ring target 300 meters in front of him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoA thin bamboo pole stretched up from under the target board with a small red flag, and shook it desperately from side to side.
"It's 10 rings again, Your Excellency the Baron is really a god, and you can hit 10 rings in a row for the first time. The sergeant on the side watched Qin Shouclum's skillful movements, admired them heartily, and patted his ass without pain or itching by the way.
The first 100 rifles were allocated to the range after the Babia 1 rifle was finalized, and the first to use them were naturally the riflemen of the 1st and 2nd squadrons. After three days of almost non-stop shooting training, they set off with the second batch of production rifles.
After that, the 3rd to 7th squadrons began a refitting program.
More rifles were still in production for the time being, but the musket teams of the squadrons were formed first and gathered at the shooting range, where they lined up for shooting training.
The musket team studied theory every morning, conducted regular training in the afternoon, and then took turns to dispatch a squadron of musket teams for target training, requiring each soldier to shoot 50 rounds of ammunition in an afternoon.
The recoil of the caliber rifle is no longer something that the so-called gifted strong soldiers can control, and it is weaker than the fighting spirit level of the intermediate samurai, so you don't have to think about it.
Qin Shouzhuo put down his gun and motioned to the range commander to send the target plate over. I saw a sergeant quickly running along the traffic trench on the edge of the shooting range, and after a while, I saw that the target board that Qin Shou had hit shook twice, and spun to the right side and sank, revealing the counterweight on the other side. After a short while, two sergeants came running with the target.
Since the Babiya Type 1 is a new thing whether it is a gun or a bullet, the target plate used by Qin Shouzhuo in this test is 20mm homogeneous steel, and a target paper is pasted on it, in addition to testing the accuracy of the gun, it is also necessary to test the power of the bullet.
Due to the backwardness of the process and materials, even Qin Shouchou, who was accustomed to using guns, only scored 96 rings this time, and the impact points were evenly distributed in a circle with a diameter of 50mm around the center point.
It should be said that the results are okay.
After all, it is such a large caliber, and there is no weighted barrel, the recoil of the gun is extremely large, and Qin Shouclum's standing position to shoot, 10 rounds in a short period of time is almost to the limit of Qin Shouclum's ability, after all, Qin Shouclum's practice is magic, not vindictiveness.
The results are okay, and so is the performance of the gun. At a distance of 300 meters, the 20mm homogeneous steel target plate rolled out by the rolling mill was punched out of the middle, and there were ablation and twisted metal chips all around, which was quite touching.
According to previous tests, the power of high-level samurai to use weapons such as heavy spears to stab is almost like this, barely breaking through 20mm of homogeneous steel.
Nodding and handing the gun back to the armourer on the side, Qin Shouzhuo walked out of the range command first and got into a Willis Jeep. It is a reconnaissance/command vehicle, and the body is loaded with a gun scope and a high-powered telescope in addition to the command signal equipment.
Shortly after leaving the shooting range, a convoy followed, led by a Willis Jeep like Qin Shouchou's car, followed by an engineering truck with a huge square container, which stored a large amount of maintenance and rescue equipment, as well as spare parts, with a load of more than 1 ton.
There were 4 tractors with a closed body compartment, but not as big as an engineering truck, which could store 70 rounds of 75mm shells, and then an infantry gun hung in the back. This is the only 4 infantry guns of the ground troops of the Babiya Mercenary Regiment, which are allocated to the artillery training team by Qin Shouzhuo's special order.
Left behind were 8 personnel carriers, which, of course, were not equipped in wartime, and the artillery crew sat in the body of the tractor. However, in addition to Qin Shouzhuo's attaché, there were also recruits from the artillery training team.
The convoy went straight to the exercise ground by the Babia River, ran three laps around the training ground, simulated a long-distance run, and then went straight to the preset artillery position.
The command car that Qin Shouzhuo was riding went straight to the commanding heights, and stopped with a sudden brake under the dirt slope. The command car that followed directly rushed to the top of the slope, and an officer jumped out of the car with three soldiers, quickly took out the equipment in the rear compartment, quickly distributed the equipment to the people, and began the last sprint.
The four of them kept their bodies as low as they could, and the path formed by the gap in the bushes began to leap towards the top of the slope, and when they reached the top of the slope, the leading officer waved his hand, and all four stopped at the same time.
The officer, armed with portable binoculars and a rifle, quickly lay down, took advantage of the terrain, poked his head out from behind a rock, quickly surveyed his surroundings, and then shrank back. Then turn to another rock, poke your head out to see the situation, and use binoculars to confirm the situation.
After confirming that it was safe, the officer immediately gave orders to the three soldiers behind him with gestures, and the three quickly stepped forward, put down the equipment they were carrying, took out the sapper shovel, and looked for a suitable place to dig up.
Strong body, sufficient fighting energy, professional tools, two small flat land on the top of the dirt slope were quickly dug out.
The ground was compacted, the tripod's positioning pins pierced into the ground, and the two soldiers constantly adjusted the length of the tripod's three legs according to the fixed bubble level to allow for the rangefinder.
On the other side, the officer leading the team had already set up a high-powered telescope that had just been installed, observing the intended target.
Skimming over the command/reconnaissance team for the time being, Qin Shouchou's gaze turned to the preset artillery position.
Four trucks towing infantry guns rushed into the open space, each finding a place to park as planned, and the gunners in the body jumped out of the car, unloaded the infantry guns, and then quickly drove the truck to the side to avoid interfering with the operation.
The engineering vehicles were parked a little farther away, and the mechanics and artillery crews quickly dug the artillery positions, and with the help of professional tools and training, the work was carried out very quickly and was completed in a short time.
The infantry gun, which weighed only 12 tons, was very nimble under the impetus of the soldiers, and easily entered the gun position, deployed the cantonment hoe, and inserted it into the pit that had just been dug.
The ammunition man brought the shells from the truck a little further away and stacked them in a shallow pit twelve paces away from the artillery. The loader took a shell and quickly stuffed it into the chamber, the shooter shook the wheel, and the muzzle of the infantry gun was raised high and pointed into the sky.
There was a roar from the artillery position: "The first squad is ready!" "The second squad is ready!" "The third squad is ready!" "The fourth squad is ready!"
An officer who arrived in an engineering vehicle looked back and saw that all four guns were already in combat condition, and the gun commander and his crew members were standing, sitting, or squatting in their corresponding positions according to the regulations.
"Report to the commander: the shelling position is ready!"
The signal soldier stood up straight with the signal flag and began to wave it regularly, Qin Shouzhuo stood not far below the observation point, and naturally saw it clearly, compared the time, and frowned slightly, "It's been close to twenty minutes, and the speed is still slow." ”
At the observation point, the two soldiers behind the installation of the artillery mirrors, one was lying on the observation position, and the other was a few meters back, holding binoculars to stare at the signal soldier of the artillery position under the slope, and at this time he also saw the flag below.
"Report: Artillery positions are ready, please instruct!"
The observation officer's eyes did not take off the high-powered telescope, and shouted: "1/3 of the mountain is high, the fallen tree, range-setting!"
The soldier in charge of the distance measurement constantly adjusted the objective lens of the rangefinder, and finally captured the marker, and then adjusted the objective lenses on both sides so that the images of the two eyes coincided, and then withdrew to look at the reading. "Distance: 3500! Pitch: -001!"
The observing officer took out the document and began to calculate the coordinates, and in a short time came up with the answer.
"Directions, convey!"
"Understand, Directions, Start Conveying!"
The signal soldier at the observation point began to wave the signal flag and repeatedly convey the data little by little, until the observer who was observing the signal of the artillery position next to him responded: "Direction, the artillery position has been received!"
The artillery position, which received the data, quickly began to calculate the firing elements, adjust the elevation angle of the pitched artillery, and was in full swing. Qin Shouzhuo walked up to the observation platform and calculated the direction, and the result was correct, but the speed was too slow.
The design rate of fire of the Babian infantry gun reached 15 rounds per minute, and according to the previous situation, it is estimated that it will not be reached, but how much it can be reached, there must always be a bottom.
"Order: Launch a fire attack on the target area, 15 rapid fire. ”
"Understood!"
The order was conveyed, and the observing officer glanced at Qin Shouzhuo and ordered the artillery position to open fire: "Order: No. 1 gun fires." ”
"Boom!"
White smoke rises, and a cannonball flies over the dirt slope toward the target, and the observing officer holds a mechanical stopwatch in his hand to pinch the time.
"Bounce!"
A fireball suddenly rose in the target area, and after a while, there was an explosion of "boom!~", and the rangefinder soldier lay on the rangefinder and looked at it for a long time before reporting the data: "The impact point of the bullet deviates to the left, and the distance is 150 meters." ”
"Convey to the artillery position!"
After receiving the information, the 1st artillery group slightly repaired the positive angle of the gun, and then, under the instructions of the officer, fired a second school projectile, which again deviated from the target. The signals were exchanged, and finally the target was hit in the third round, and the other three artillery groups immediately revised the firing elements to match one group.
"Aim at the target, 15 rapid fires!"
The order came, and the artillery positions were suddenly busy.
The 4 guns kept firing under the commander's orders, and 60 shells were dumped on the target within a few minutes, Qin Shouclumsy pinched the time, and his brows furrowed even deeper.
“...... In about 2 minutes, the rate of fire is actually half as slow......"
