I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 195 Castrated Type 63 60mm Mortar

"Zhang Qiang, next, you will take a few soldiers to carefully check the status of these three mortars to see if there are any problems." Liu Gen explained.

Zhang Qiang nodded vigorously, "I promise to complete the task!"

Knowing that these three mortars were made by the arsenal in the border area, Zhang Qiang felt differently about these three mortars. It seemed that he saw his own child. Even if the child did not grow up well and had certain defects, he still would Get close a lot.No matter how powerful the devil's mortar is, it still belongs to the devil, but these three mortars are different.

Even if the mortars produced by the arsenal in the border area can't compare with the devils, Zhang Qiang believes that as long as the arsenal in the border area can continue to build and don't choose to give up, then one day the arsenal in the border area will be able to produce artillery as powerful as the devils.

"In addition, after checking and confirming that there is no problem, let me know and I will conduct a test firing." Liu Gen explained again.

Zhang Qiang was slightly taken aback, and quickly said: "Company commander, let me take the soldiers to test fire, we can do this well."

"Let me do it. I can see the problems of these guns better. Some of the data are still very important." Liu Gen said directly.

Seeing Liu Gen's firm eyes, Zhang Qiang stopped talking. He knew why Liu Gen did this.It is undoubtedly a bit dangerous to choose a test gun, not to mention that there are certain problems with these three 60mm mortars.Once there is a problem during the test firing, Liu Gen, the commander of the artillery company, will be in danger.

It was precisely because Zhang Qiang knew this that he wanted to take a few soldiers to test fire. In Zhang Qiang's view, Liu Gen was much more important than them.

"Don't worry, since the arsenal in the border area sent these mortars, they must have been tested, and there will be no major problems." Noticing the worry in Zhang Qiang's eyes, Liu Gen said with a smile.

Zhang Qiang could only nod his head, hoping that there would be no major problems during the test firing.

Watching Zhang Qiang take the soldiers to check the three mortars, Liu Gen called out the blueprint of the Type 63 60mm mortar he had obtained and looked at it carefully. From time to time, Liu Gen would combine it with the mortar sent by the arsenal compare to.

Liu Gen could tell that many of the data had changed, probably because the arsenal did not have suitable materials and could not make the changes.This also makes these three mortars become castrated versions of the 63-type 60mm mortars, which cannot be compared with the genuine ones in actual combat.

However, for the Eighth Route Army troops lacking artillery fire, this 60mm mortar is already quite good, even though the life and performance of this mortar have been greatly affected due to the steel used.At the same time, this mortar is not equipped with a scope, and the shooting can only rely on the skill of the artillery to ensure accurate hits.

But even with all kinds of shortcomings, this mortar is quite good. If it can be mass-produced and equipped in every company of the Eighth Route Army, then the firepower of the Eighth Route Army will definitely be greatly improved.When facing devils, it can also change the dilemma of insufficient firepower and being suppressed.

Just wondering about the situation of the arsenal in the border area, Liu Gen was a little puzzled. How did they produce these mortars?Suddenly, Liu Gen thought of another arsenal. With the capabilities of the arsenal in the border area, this mortar might not be able to be produced, but what if that arsenal was added?

Liu Gen shook his head and stopped thinking about this matter. As long as the mortar can be produced, other things are not important.

Without making Liu Gen wait too long, Zhang Qiang took the soldiers to complete the inspection. Judging from Zhang Qiang's expression, the result of the inspection was not good.After learning the result of the inspection from Zhang Qiang, Liu Gen understood why Zhang Qiang's face was a little ugly.

The reason is simple, the life of this mortar is too short, it can only support about a hundred shellings.After more than a hundred times, the mortar will most likely have problems, and then the artillery will be destroyed and killed.

"It is already very good. It can support a hundred times of shelling, which is enough to complete a large-scale battle. I believe that as the number of mortars manufactured increases, the performance and quality of mortars will be improved." Liu Genqing He patted Zhang Qiang on the shoulder and comforted him.

Zhang Qiang nodded, he knew that Liu Gen was comforting himself, but he also knew that Liu Gen was right.It is the first time to manufacture mortars, and the arsenal can achieve such results, and it will definitely improve if it continues.

"Oh, if only we had better steel." Zhang Qiang sighed.

A gleam flashed in Liu Gen's eyes. There were quite a few formulas about just now in the mall. After seeing the mortar sent by the arsenal, he had inquired about the relevant just now information.It's just that if he wants to redeem such a formula, he needs at least [-] reputation points, which makes him very helpless.

"Don't worry, there will be good steel and good artillery." Liu Gen said again.

They led Zhang Qiang and others towards the outskirts of the village. They carried a box of shells in their hands. There were not many shells sent by the arsenal, and there were only less than ten boxes.But no matter how few shells there are, it is necessary to test fire these three mortars to detect their corresponding data.

Liu Gen is sure that there are certain problems with the accuracy of these three mortars. In order to prevent the mortars from being unable to accurately hit the enemy during battle, it is very necessary to find out the difference in accuracy in advance.In addition, Liu Gen also knew that the shells equipped with these three mortars would not be too powerful. The reason is very simple. The gunpowder used in the arsenal in the border area is still the traditional black powder, which is not very powerful.

As for modern explosives, the arsenal has not been able to manufacture them yet, and Liu Gen can only hope that the arsenal will work harder to manufacture modern explosives sooner.Only with enough power can the little devil be better killed.

"Cannonball!" Liu Gen ordered directly after setting up a mortar.

Zhang Qiang quickly put the cannonball in Liu Gen's hands, and after Liu Gen took the cannonball, he put it directly into the mortar.

With a bang, the shell flew out of the mortar barrel and hit a tree 500 meters away.

"Record, the distance is 500 meters, the angle deviation is 3 degrees."

"Cannonball!"

"..."

Shells flew out of the mortar one after another, and in front of the mortar, the area became a mess due to the continuous falling of the shells.Just looking at the destructive power of the shells after they fell, Liu Gen and others were a little dissatisfied. Such power might only be useful to the devil's infantry.

The shells fell on the devil's gun towers and bunkers, and they would not have much effect at all. The power was a little too weak.Noticing this, Liu Gen no longer had the idea of ​​keeping the three 60mm mortars in the artillery company, so he should distribute them to Zhang Dabiao and the others.

In the hands of the artillery company, these three 60mm mortars are completely tasteless, but it is different when assigned to Zhang Dabiao and the others.An extra mortar, even if its power is weaker, can make them much more comfortable in battle.
