Chapter 383, Katyusha, some people don't believe in its power
Five kilometers outside the west gate of Jincheng is a mass grave.

There is a tramp, a beggar, who has no food and wears thin clothes all day long, and he collapses after a minor illness or calamity.

Where to bury it?
Mountains, rivers, forests, lakes and fields, every piece of land is owned by the owner.

I don't know when, the mass burial mound, which was passed down by the common people as a barren mountain and ghost land, became the destination of those people.

Dig a hole and bury it casually in it.

Ordinary people would stay away from mass graves if they didn't have to, for fear of being entangled by ghosts.

However, some people are not afraid.

Thousands of troops came here in the dark, and no ghost dared to jump out of the mass grave to make trouble.

Unless it's because the ghost has a long life...

Zhang Dabiao didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he commanded the soldiers to dig trenches and build positions generously, and dug up the bones from time to time, so he had to ask them to be wronged for a while.

The dead have to give way to the living, and what they have to deal with is the vicious Japanese devils.

"Hey, Ding Dasheng, you know the commander is behind us, what are you looking for?"

"What are you looking at? You must have inquired about it, let me tell you."

Provoking this topic was of course to show off his well-informedness. The tall and thin soldier put down his shovel and listened attentively to the surroundings:
"Hey, you don't know this, my fellow in the artillery battalion told me that the commander and the others are going to see the secret weapon.

Think about it, the commander said before departure, we have to face twice as many enemies, that is, eight thousand little devils.

Although I believe we can pass the fight, but it will be very hard, right?
Instead of fighting ambushes, we came from thousands of miles to fight positional warfare. Could it be that we have nothing to do?
The commander must have had intentions. "

The movements of the soldiers' hands were a little slower. After careful consideration, what the thin man said was indeed reasonable.

When did their new second regiment fight an unprepared battle?
It took two days to go out day and night, interspersed with companies and platoons, and bypassed the sight of the Japanese army. It must have been premeditated to come here.

It's just that they still can't think of what the commander is going to do?
Ding Dasheng stuck the shovel into the ground, took out the only two cigarettes from his pocket, and handed one of them up:

"Skinny man, you are the most well-informed among us. You must know something. Let me tell you about it."

The tall, thin man who took the cigarette took a deep breath under his nose. It smelled of tobacco and sweat.

Some pumps are good, don't worry about too much.

He pushed the cigarette to his ear, like a storyteller in a teahouse, slapped his legs and said to the soldiers who pricked up their ears:
"As far as I know, our secret weapon is the most advanced weapon obtained by Consultant Yuan. The shells can hit eight kilometers away. Just in our position, we can hit the city with one shot."

The soldiers all looked at each other in blank dismay, only seeing each other's dusty faces illuminated by the moonlight.

Only one thought remained in the minds of the veterans: "My God, what a caliber of cannon! Eight kilometers away, three times longer than their mortars."

Suddenly someone exhaled in a low voice: "Could it be a mm caliber howitzer?"

As soon as he said this, many veterans were shocked.

Considering that Consultant Yuan did build a few howitzers before, the power is beyond words.

One shot directly knocked down the city gate of Yangquan, allowing their new second regiment to win the victory of breaking the city.

"No, the range of the howitzer is not that far, and even if it exists, it cannot be regarded as a secret weapon by the commander! Who do you look down on!"

Many veterans nodded secretly after hearing this. They have seen the world all the way, tanks, howitzers, and anti-aircraft guns.

If you have never eaten pork, have you ever seen a pig run?
If it is a howitzer, it is not a secret weapon at all.

"If it's a 150mm howitzer, it's about the same."

The tall and thin man laughed a few times: "Hey, don't say it, it's really possible.

I heard from a fellow villager that Consultant Yuan got six doors, pulled them behind with a cart, and directly bombarded the enemies in the city.

The enemy couldn't even see our faces, so they were directly blown to the sky. "

"Really?"

There are also soldiers who have just come here not long ago, but they have only heard about it, but they have not seen it with their own eyes, and they still maintain a skeptical attitude.

Some veterans helped and said, "If Consultant Yuan got it, it's not wrong. The guns in our hands and the cannons of the artillery battalion in the regiment were all made by him.

It is impossible for others to get a few heavy artillery, but he can definitely do it. "

Veterans say this, and recruits are skeptical.

Ding Dasheng inquired curiously: "You said you can shoot eight kilometers away, how about the power of the shell, how many people can be killed by one shot?"

"How many people? You underestimate the power of the heavy artillery, right? Dozens of them are almost the same, and even stand densely. Once the artillery goes down, a company of people will be gone."

The thin and tall man had an exaggerated expression, and his words were not very precise, but the soldiers understood and had a rough understanding of the power of this howitzer.

But there are always people who are dissatisfied, especially those who don't like bragging.

"Blowing up a company with one cannon sounds exaggerated. You are not bragging, thin man, are you? You don't push trains, you don't brag about cowhide. Who doesn't know that you love bragging the most!

I don't believe you unless I hear someone from the artillery battalion tell me that in person. "

The soldiers felt that this was also reasonable. The thin and tall man had a bad reputation in the past. When he fell, he said that his whole body hurt, and he went to the sick.

A sprained ankle can be regarded as a broken leg by him, no matter how exaggerated it is.

"It's quite lively!"

Zhang Dabiao did not know when he came. When he said this, the soldiers were taken aback. They hurriedly stood at attention to salute and said hello, "Hello, deputy head."

"Don't be nervous, I won't criticize you."

Zhang Dabiao also came from the period of the chief soldier, and he knew very well what the soldiers below were thinking. He first calmed down their nervousness, and then chatted with them with a smile.

"You guys are all well-informed. What the thin man said just now is correct. Our secret weapon is as powerful as a howitzer in one shot.

The killing radius is 100 meters, that is to say, within 100 meters from the place where the shells fell, there is a probability that they will be killed if they do not lie down and hide in the bunker in time. "

The soldiers gasped and thought to themselves: God, killing a company with one shell is not bragging!

Think about the little devil being hit by a shell, one squad... two squads are dead.

"Deputy commander, do we really have six such cannons?"

Zhang Dabiao is familiar with the inside story, but he has also been told not to reveal the real details and can only answer vaguely.

"Yes, according to the commander's words, one round of firing is equivalent to four heavy artillery regiments and 96 cannons."

This caused the soldiers to exclaim again.

The New Second Regiment has an artillery battalion, which is awesome. When soldiers meet brothers from other regiments, they say:

"Our regiment has an artillery battalion. When we fight against the little devils, as soon as we call for artillery support, the shells will fall on the enemy's head."

Whenever you say this, you can get a lot of envious eyes.

"What about the artillery battalion of our regiment..." has almost become a mantra.

Now that they have the fire support of four artillery regiments, God, I dare not think so in my dreams!

Ding Dasheng patted the tall and thin man on the back.

"What?"

"I'll hit you to see if you're dreaming."

"Hit yourself! If you can't do it, I'll help you."

Zhang Dabiao couldn't stand it anymore and stopped their fight.

"Okay, don't be surprised. After listening to the story, go to work quickly. You will all be able to see it when the time comes."

After inspecting this position, there is another one.

Li Yunlong is also the head of the regiment and does not work. The political commissar of the regiment is in short supply and has not been replaced. There are only a few staff officers and a deputy head of the regiment.

Zhang Dabiao is both the chief of staff and the deputy head of the regiment, and it is obvious that he will take over the position of head of the regiment, so he has to be a diligent old scalper.

At the same time, Commander Li was very leisurely, watching Yuan Lang explain the loading operation of the Katyusha rocket launcher to the soldiers of the artillery battalion.

Anyway, this thing is relatively simple, and the soldiers selected from the artillery battalion are all highly educated and clever, so they can learn it quickly.

After working for a while, under the guidance of Yuan Lang, he finished loading one car, and loaded the second car non-stop, demanding to increase the speed.

"Old Yu, doesn't the Central Army have this thing?" Li Yunlong was free, so he asked Yu Dayong to find out his presence.

Anyway, this chief of staff has traveled many places, and has followed the great leaders, so he is well-informed.

Yu Dayong walked around the Katyusha rocket car three times just now, and he was almost dizzy. He searched in his mind for a long time, but he didn't find a weapon that sounded like this.

In other words, this bazooka should be the only one owned by Scorpion in the whole country.

"The Central Army doesn't look like this."

Yu Dayong's answer gave Li Yunlong a sense of accomplishment. Everyone said that the Central Army's weapons are good, and their Eighth Route Army is a beggar.

Now I finally got some face back, next time I meet that guy Chu Yunfei, I'll be ashamed of him.

Give our Eighth Route Army some face and come back.

Yu Dayong didn't know why, seeing that Li Yunlong was proud, he wanted to pour cold water on him: "Commander Li, let's not be too complacent.

I remember that the Central Army spent 2000 million French currency from the Germans to buy 24 howitzers and formed the Tenth Field Heavy Artillery Regiment.

These cannons have a range of fifteen kilometers, half as much as ours.

Participated in the Battle of Songhu, wiped out a large number of enemies, severely damaged a -ton armored ship, and sunk two destroyers, which can be described as fruitful.

As for the Japanese army, according to Consultant Yuan, they possessed four or five hundred of these cannons. Maybe there are enemies in the city? "

Li Yunlong waved his hands nonchalantly, "Yuan Lang just said that this bazooka has sixteen barrels, and it can support sixteen cannons.

Six rocket launchers are worth less than a hundred!
I don't believe in little devils, really mobilize a hundred cannons to deal with me, Li Yunlong?
That is too high to look at me, Li Yunlong.

Our six rocket launchers are worth four artillery regiments, and the Central Army only has one. Can they compare with us?Can't compare! "

Anyway, Li Yunlong had a sense of superiority despite his complacency, so he didn't take Yu Dayong's words to heart at all.

Now he has fewer people, and the only main force that can be used is the new second regiment, and the new first regiment counts as half.

If there are two more such regiments, more rockets.

The current plan is not to kill the enemy or destroy the enemy's sweep.

Instead, they took down Jincheng and wiped out the Japanese army in the city.

After Yuan Lang taught the soldiers of the artillery battalion, he spent a lot of talking, took a few sips from the water bottle handed by the monk, and walked over to Li Yunlong and asked, "Is there any news?"

Li Yunlong glanced at the time, it was not yet the agreed time.

Yu Dayong had a strong thirst for knowledge about weapons, and seeing that Yuan Lang was free, he hurriedly asked:
"Consultant Yuan, your bazooka, if you fire so many barrels in ten seconds, won't there be recoil problems?"

As we all know, the firing of shells will produce a reaction force, and the more powerful the shell, the greater the recoil force on the artillery.

The strong recoil shook the artillery weighing several tons or more than ten tons.

Sixteen rockets, fired in ten seconds, the truck must fall apart?

Yuan Lang put down the kettle and thought for a while: "For example, the Type infantry gun, which fires shells from the barrel and has recoil.

According to others, this rocket launcher is launched from rails. The two are not the same concept, so there is no such strong recoil. It is said that it is no problem to shoot sixteen rounds together. "

Yu Dayong nodded half-understanding, and asked again: "I measured it just now, and this one is 130mm in diameter, so why do you say it has the power of 150mm in diameter?"

This... Yuan Lang thoughtfully said: Do I need to find an engineer to explain it to you?
But it hurts to say that we still have to work together in the future.

He just followed what was written on the picture and explained it according to the script, regardless of whether Yu Dayong could understand it or not.

To be precise, the Katyusha rocket launcher is very different from traditional artillery.

Due to avoiding the stress effect of high chamber pressure and high acceleration when the barrel launches the rocket, the rocket launched by the guide rail suffers a small acceleration during launch.

The wall of the rocket shell can be made thinner, which increases the amount of explosive filling, so the power of the 132mm rocket is basically equivalent to that of a 152mm ordinary artillery shell.

It is suitable for attacking the exposed enemy's active force gathering places, field fortifications, and clusters of tank artillery.

Yu Dayong looked confused, he understood some words, but he didn't seem to understand some words.

Seeing Yuan Lang's impatient face, he couldn't ask any more questions, so he took a pen and wrote it down in his notebook, ready to think about it later.

"hey-hey……"

Li Yunlong laughed at Yu Dayong's overreaching, eating pork, do you have to get to know the pig butcher and know how to kill pigs?

Leading troops to fight, knowing the performance of weapons and how to kill the enemy is enough. There is no need to study so many principles.

That's what a specialist in weapons does.

While chatting, time passed unknowingly.

Until the telegraph operator came with the document: "Report, the Special Forces sent a telegram."

Li Yunlong glanced at his watch, and it was indeed the appointed time.No matter how many cases are detected, Wang Gensheng will send them back through the radio.

"read."
