War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 97 Type Infantry Gun

Type 92 infantry gun.

The gun weighs 424 kilograms.

The initial velocity of the shell is 198 m/s.

The elevation and low shooting angles range from -10 degrees to +45 degrees.

The maximum range is 2788 meters.

Minimum range 100 meters.

Generally speaking, this type of gun will be equipped with a baffle, which is also designed according to the Japanese body shape and is pitifully small. The function of the baffle is definitely not to protect against bullets fired from heavy machine guns. The thickness of the baffle even makes people doubt whether it can protect against ricocheted stray bullets. However, it can definitely protect against stones flying after the enemy bombards the artillery position. In other words, it is better than nothing.

As for the structure of this gun, its barrel is even simpler. The operation of this gun is so easy that after listening to a veteran's description, anyone can be a gunner, but whether they can shoot accurately is another matter.

To fire this kind of cannon, you must first find the handle to open the bolt at the rear of the gun body. After pulling the handle, load the shells. After the shells are loaded to the bottom and tightened, close the bolt. At this time, you can find the cocked trigger next to the bolt. There is a round pull ring on the trigger with a rope tied to the pull ring. Pulling the rope can fire instantly.

but……

When Xu Chaoyang saw the cannon, he chose to take a step back silently.

It's not that he doesn't like this kind of powerful weapon, nor does he know that this thing can immediately solve all the problems on the battlefield...

What he knew even more was the evil that this thing had done on this land of China!

This type of cannon was compact and easy to carry, with a minimum range of 100 meters. The Japanese had used it many times to engage the enemy.

Do you understand what it means to engage the enemy? That is to say, the Type 92 infantry gun can not only fire indirect fire, but also fire directly. When our army charged forward, what they faced was the muzzle of the Type 92 infantry gun at a distance of 100 meters!

When Xu Chaoyang first heard at the Military Museum that this thing could engage the enemy head-on, he really couldn't imagine that kind of scene. In the end, he didn't even dare to think about it.

Why don’t you dare to think about it?
Xu Chaoyang had fiddled with this type of cannon in the Military Museum. The most outrageous thing was that after so much time had passed, the Type 92 infantry cannon in their Military Museum could still fire!
Do you understand?

A rusty Type 92 infantry gun that has spanned decades of time has been placed in a museum as an exhibit for who knows how many years, and it can still fire... How many lives has such a durable and sophisticated gun claimed on the battlefield?

He is a soldier and now knows what war is. Now when Xu Chaoyang stands next to the Type 92 infantry gun, he does not have the excitement of a military fan seeing an antique weapon...

"Company commander!"

"gun!"

Tong Meng saw that this thing was no longer rare, so he was the first to rush past Xu Chaoyang, bending over and stroking the gun. When he felt the shallow dent made by the bullet on the gun, he immediately turned around and shouted, "Who the hell is this!"

"Who told you to fire at the cannon?"

The lumberjacks who had finally avenged the loss of their brothers all pouted. They were very happy at that moment, so who would care about them?
Tong Meng did not continue to ask, but shouted at Chang Zhan: "Old Chang, didn't you say you were an artilleryman?"

"You idiot? I told you at the time that I was just trying to scare the devils!"

In an instant, everyone turned to look at Xu Chaoyang. In their hearts, Xu Chaoyang seemed to be omnipotent!

When they were at their wit's end, Xu Chaoyang helped Tong Meng invent the conscienceless cannon and taught him how to use it. When they had a heavy machine gun, Xu Chaoyang was able to teach Liu Gener how to use the scope, as well as how to roughly calculate wind deviation and how to use the scope to achieve more accurate shooting.
Now it was the Type 92 infantry cannon's turn. Tong Meng, a scholar who had only used the Flying Thunder Cannon but never used the real thing, didn't dare to try it easily, even though he was the first one to rush out and even though he was eager to try.

But Xu Chaoyang was still staring at the cannon without moving...

"Big brother?"

Qu Yong half-jokingly said, "How about we open an altar and find two great immortals to perform a ritual to show respect to the gods of heaven and earth, and then you pick a good day to come and beat this guy?"

Qu Yong's words brought Xu Chaoyang back from his memories. Only then did Xu Chaoyang realize that what he was afraid of was how much Chinese blood was stained on this thing.

"Fuck you uncle!"

After Xu Chaoyang came back to life, he cursed at Qu Yong with a smile. Everyone around him could hear Qu Yong's laughter after being scolded. They laughed so easily, even Qu Yong himself was grinning, and then he walked over with heavy steps.

Some things you always need to overcome by yourself, just like the vague memories from the previous life.

Xu Chaoyang walked to the side of the Type 92 infantry gun without a baffle, and looked at the marks left by the baffle on the gun carriage after repeated insertions and withdrawals, proving that the gun originally had a baffle. It was very likely that the Japanese had abandoned it when they were carrying the gun up the mountain because it was too heavy. After all, the thing must have weighed more than ten or twenty kilograms. He raised his hand and pulled the breech block...

After the breech block was opened, Tong Meng showed an expression of surprise on his face, and his eyes were shining.

The next second, Xu Chaoyang picked up the rope on the ground, put it into Tong Meng's hand, and said, "Here is the trigger. Do you know how to do it now?"

Tong Meng nodded repeatedly, full of excitement after getting started with something new, and replied impatiently, "Yes, yes."

The next second, Xu Chaoyang asked very carefully: "Tell me again how to aim?"

Tong Meng stood at attention in front of everyone and said, "First use the jump eye method to measure the distance, calculate the parabola based on the distance, and then calculate the shooting angle." After answering, he said in a very nonchalant manner, "The curved aiming formula you taught me."

Hearing this, Xu Chaoyang smiled, turned around and shouted: "Chang Zhan!"

"Hey."

Chang Zhan walked to Xu Chaoyang with his shoulders swaying, still full of soldier's air: "Did you tell the devils before that you were an artilleryman? I will fulfill your wish."

"Load!"

Chang Zhan ran a few steps to the ammunition box that was knocked down by the machine gun, picked up a shell from the ground and stuffed it in.

Under the half-bright and half-dark sky, Tong Meng raised his thumb towards the distant mountaintop where gunfire was constantly coming out.

In fact, real artillery is definitely not just what Xu Chaoyang taught. They have artillery scouts to measure distance and wind deviation, and there are also special people to calculate parabolas and shooting angles. For the gunner, all he has to do is adjust the muzzle according to the parameters and hit the target coordinates.

Otherwise, would it be necessary to use dozens of people to man only two Type 92 infantry guns?
But no matter what, Xu Chaoyang didn't have the conditions, right? Then all the work could only be put on Tong Meng alone, because he was the most educated person among the group.
Thinking of this, Xu Chaoyang suddenly felt happy. He felt that he was very much like those black-hearted bosses exposed on the Internet in his previous life...

"Company commander!"

Tong Meng turned around and said excitedly: "I'm done!"

　There is one picture missing. I will make up for it with six updates tomorrow. My mind is confused, so I won’t force myself to write it.

　　4/5.
