Chapter 419: Pillar, Do You Want to Do a Few Cannons?

About ten minutes passed.

There was the sound of a helicopter motor rattling in the sky.

Everyone raised their binoculars and looked, only to see more than 20 dragonfly planes flying towards this direction, and more than 10 of them still had clearly visible cannons hanging underneath.

The eyes of the new group gradually lit up as they looked at the cannon being hoisted by the plane in the distance.

Hiss! Someone was gasping.

The barrel of this cannon is so thick and long, and the barrel is so big, is it the legendary heavy artillery?

At the same time, Chen Feng personally fired a red signal flare, and with a sharp and long whistle, a red signal flare rose into the air.

More than two dozen helicopters flew straight in this direction.

Soon, the Dragonfly aircraft put the 12 cannons, shells and orbital equipment on the shooting range, and then quickly flew away the same way.

Looking at the big guys that were not neatly arranged, Grand Master Li had a harvest smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at these heavy cannons, like looking at the old farmers who had a good harvest.

The others were also full of surprise, and their eyes widened, especially the artillery battalion commander Wang Chengzhu, whose eyes were about to pop out.

"This time the cannon is still a German gun, the FH18 howitzer."

"Caliber, 150 mm, weight of more than 11,000 catties..."

Chen Feng pointed to the 150 heavy artillery in front of him and introduced.

Listening to Chen Feng's introduction of performance data, everyone's eyes lit up like a light bulb, and it was really a heavy artillery!

But hearing the weight of this cannon, everyone's subconscious eyes darkened slightly.

It's too heavy!

It's more than 11,000 catties, how can you get this thing away?

The 105mm howitzer is less than 4,000 pounds, and it takes 2 to 3 horses to pull it.

The weight of this heavy gun is almost equal to that of 3 howitzers, and this horse can barely be pulled by more than 6 military horses.

The little devil's plane is not ambiguous, such a good heavy artillery, you can't let the little devil's plane be ruined.

Don't think about it, this heavy cannon is very powerful, and it can kill dozens of devils with one shot, but the shortcomings are also obvious.

Poor maneuverability!

Even Deputy Regiment Commander Xing and Chief of Staff Wang thought so.

Chen Feng continued: "The effective range is 15 kilometers, the rate of fire is 4 rounds per minute, and the maximum towing speed is 60 kilometers per hour.

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly, and their eyes suddenly lit up again.

Build roads, there are cars, then this 150-mm heavy gun has a place.

After all, if there were no roads and cars, it would be difficult to get these heavy artillery from the back mountains to Zhaojiayu Village below.

With cars and roads, mobility is guaranteed, and cars can pull shells in addition to guns.

And the effective firing range is 15 km, that is, this cannon can hit the devil at a distance of 15 km with shells relatively accurately, and the range of fire suppression is very large!

The original German FH18 150mm howitzer has an effective firing range of only 13,250 meters.

However, the system has improved the heavy howitzer at the time of production, so that it has an effective range of 15 kilometers, and the muzzle brake has been added, but the accuracy has not been affected.

At that time, the Nationalist Government was ready to import 24 150-mm howitzers of the same model from Germany, and required a range of 15 kilometers.

In order to meet the requirements of the Nationalist Government, the German company Rheinmetall specially designed the same howitzer with a range of 15 kilometers for China.

Although it is very heavy, the problem of maneuverability is solved, coupled with the long range and great power, it can only be said that this heavy gun is very fragrant!

Chen Feng waved his hand, Yan Shuangying beside him nodded, stepped forward to open a container, and took out a shell box from inside.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang are no strangers to this kind of container, and they used this kind of container when they used to drop shells.

Yan Shuangying used a short knife to pry open the plank, and Chen Feng introduced: "

This 150mm howitzer mainly fires high-explosive grenades and armor-piercing shells, this is a high-explosive shell, it weighs 87 pounds."

The wooden box was opened, revealing a high-explosive shell inside.

Looking at the shells that were one round larger than the 105-mm howitzer shells, everyone's eyes suddenly straightened.

This shell is a few points bigger than everyone imagined, and the 75mm shell is even more incomparable.

If the devil is hit, it is estimated that he will not even be able to find the bone slag.

"Boss Chen, how powerful is this cannonball?"

"Describe it?"

The cavalry built Sun Desheng asked.

"How big?" Chen Feng was stunned for a moment and looked around:

"Probably one shot, the effective attack range is about the same as this range."

He would have said that a single shot would cover a football field, but the group should not know how big the football field is.

So big?

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, looking at the heavy artillery in front of them, their eyes became hotter and hotter.

Moreover, Boss Chen also said just now that in addition to high-explosive shells, there are also armor-piercing shells.

Then the ability of this heavy artillery to attack the fortification must also be a bargain!

Chen Feng asked Yan Shuangying to take out another shell box, and while Yan Shuangying opened it, Chen Feng said, "In addition, this kind of artillery shell is a rocket range extender with an effective range of 19 kilometers, but this kind of rocket range extender is not very powerful."

"19 km?"

Wang Chengzhu suddenly exclaimed.

The effective range of 15 km is already excellent, but he didn't expect it to reach 19 km, which greatly exceeded his expectations.

Chen Feng nodded: "In order to increase the effective range, there are special rocket range extender shells, but due to the reduction of the projectile charge, the effective range has increased, but the power has decreased, and the accuracy is not high, so there are not many such shells."

It looks a bit chicken, but this thing can be without, but it can't be without.

Wang Chengzhu nodded, only then did he regain some of his senses, the distance became farther away, and the power remained the same, how could there be such a good thing.

Next, Chen Feng and Yan Shuangying taught Wang Chengzhu how to operate this 150mm heavy gun.

One of the artillerymen was holding a projectile weighing nearly 90 pounds, and the other artilleryman forcibly pushed the projectile into the barrel with a long rammer, and then the artilleryman on the left charged it in the specified amount.

The gunner supervised the operation of the artillerymen.

Wang Chengzhu, as the commander of the artillery battalion of the new regiment and a sharpshooter, quickly learned how to operate this 150mm howitzer heavy gun.

Of course, in addition to cannons and shells, there are also auxiliary tools such as artillery mirrors and camouflage nets.

"What a fucking good cannon!"

Li Yunlong stretched out his hand and touched the cannon, the entire cannon body was filled with the smell of technology and ruthlessness, and the cold feeling also came.

Li Yunlong's expression and eyes were full of surprise.

The bigger the devil officer you kill, the better the weapon you get, and if you have the chance, you must kill the bigger devil officer.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Li Yunlong's mind, and he asked Chen Feng, "Brother, you said that we are a new group, if we kill the devil's locust one day, what kind of weapons can we get?"

Zhao Gang and everyone looked at Chen Feng expectantly.

"Locusts?" Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Brother, you really dare to think about it."

Li Yunlong rubbed his hands, and his tone was serious: "Doesn't this person have to be a little rushed to live, if he doesn't rush, it will be boring to live."

Li Yunlong is running for life, not for eating, drinking, and enjoyment, nor for promotion and wealth, but for the country and the liberation of this suffering nation.

"If only you could really kill the devil's locust." Chen Feng's expression was solemn and he said, "I'll send you a few Miss Qiu."

"Miss?" Li Yunlong was stunned, and waved his hand again and again, "Brother, you are really joking, how can you give me a few girls, then forget it, this deal can't be worth it!"

Everyone laughed again and again, just thinking that Chen Feng felt that it was impossible for the new group to kill the ghosts

The locust deliberately made a joke.

Everyone thinks about it, how can a new group kill the locusts?

Chen Feng also smiled and said nothing.

Then, Chen Feng asked, "Brother Li, have you chosen the location of the airport, and where are you going to repair the airport?"

"The location of the airport has been chosen." "Five kilometers west of Zhaojiayu village, there is a basin that is suitable for an airport," Li said.

"Okay!" Chen Feng nodded, "Then let's start building the airport the day after tomorrow, and from the day after tomorrow, I will arrange for the transport plane to airdrop the materials for the construction of the airport."

"Then thank you, brother!" Li Yunlong nodded.

"That's right!" Chen Feng asked again, "Are all the 24 37mm anti-aircraft guns sent to Zhaojiayu?"

Li Yunlong thought for a moment, and then said, "This batch of anti-aircraft guns, please arrange for my brother to arrange for half of them to be sent to me, and the other half to be sent to the base area in the southeast of Jin."

There are many artillery guns in the southeast base area of Jin, but the anti-aircraft firepower is relatively weak, so Li Yunlong still has to leave 12 antiaircraft guns for the headquarters.

"No problem!"

"Then I'll take my leave!"

The goods have been delivered, and Chen Feng is ready to say goodbye and leave.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang stayed, but Chen Feng had something to do, and he had to go back and command his subordinates to build an underground military base.

After sending Chen Feng away, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang returned to the shooting range and looked at the heavy artillery in front of them.

"Effective range 15 km?"

Li Yunlong's heart became more and more hot.

Then, Li Yunlong looked at Wang Chengzhu: "Pillar, you will use this cannon, right?"

Everyone looked at Wang Chengzhu.

Wang Chengzhu rubbed his hands as Li Yunlong learned, nodded and shook his head: "Yes, yes, yes, but I haven't done it, I may not be able to hit it accurately, I'm afraid of wasting shells."

"It's okay, we have cannonballs, and besides, the sharpshooters are fed with cannonballs." Li Yunlong said, "Pillar, do you want to do a few shots?"

Wang Chengzhu's tone couldn't wait: "I want to! Commander, what do you do?"

Li Yunlong said: "Dagu Town, which is about 10 kilometers away from us, has a devil stronghold, and there is a detachment of devils in the stronghold, and a platoon of puppet soldiers, let's use this *** devil stronghold as a target."

There are about 60 devils and puppet soldiers in the stronghold of Dagu Town, a typical small stronghold, who used to often go into the village to bully the people, and shoot at the people if they disagree.

Although there are militiamen in the nearby villages, there are too few guns, and there are few bullets, so they can't defeat the devil puppet army, and as soon as the devil puppet army comes out to grab things, the people in the village have to retreat into the mountains.

However, after the devil puppet army heard that the main force of the Eighth Route had arrived, it had been a few days since they dared to step out of the stronghold.

The Sword Squadron practiced running 10 kilometers in the morning, and it knew the information of the devil's stronghold in Dagu Town clearly.

Wang Chengzhu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he nodded heavily: "Yes, use the *** devil stronghold as a target!"
