Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

第221章 太行1式82迫击炮，太行1式100迫击炮

Cannon factory.

"How are you, Minister? We are awesome, aren't we?"

Zhao Tianyang, who had stayed in the rocket research base for a few days, was called back by Gong Jiahong.

Looking at Gong Jiahong with a smug look on his face, Zhao Tianyang touched his chin and said.

"It looks fine on the outside, but has it been tested?"

"not yet!"

Gong Jiahong said confidently: "But the German experts said that there is no problem with the mortar we made!"

"So I quickly called you over to see the mortar we made."

"Haha, since you are so confident, let's go to the shooting range and try it out!"

Zhao Tianyang patted the cannon barrel in front of him and said with a smile.

"Just try it!"

Gong Jiahong waved his hand and said, "Come here, carry these two mortars to the shooting range."

"Yes."

Eight workers who were well prepared ran over, quickly disassembled the two mortars, carried them and walked towards the shooting range.

"Oh, you're quick enough!"

Zhao Tianyang said in surprise.

"Hehe, average, average!"

Gong Jiahong waved his hand and said modestly.

Then Zhao Tianyang followed Gong Jiahong to the shooting range.

"What should we test first, Minister?"

Gong Jiahong asked.

"Since it's a mortar, let's test its indirect firepower first!"

Zhao Tianyang thought for a while and said.

"Row."

Gong Jiahong instructed the gun inspector beside him: "Test the indirect fire power."

"Yes."

The gun inspector nodded and began to arrange the workers and mark the positions.

After a while, everything was ready and Gong Jiahong pulled Zhao Tianyang into the explosion-proof pit nearby.

After a while, the gun inspector also came in pulling a rope.

"Minister, Director, I'm ready."

"Then pull it!"

Zhao Tianyang said.

The gun inspector pulled the rope, and with a "bang", an 82mm blank grenade rose high into the sky and landed outside the -meter mark.

"It's a bit crooked. It should be a matter of experience."

Zhao Tianyang raised the telescope, took a look, and said to the gun inspector: "Load with live ammunition! This time we will test the longest distance."

"Yes."

The gun inspector left the explosion-proof pit, ran to the 82mm mortar, and loaded a red-painted high-explosive bomb into it.

"minister."

The gun inspector pulled the rope back to the explosion pit.

"pull!"

"Bang" there was another loud noise, and an 82mm high-explosive bomb flew towards the -meter mark.

"boom."

After a loud bang, Gong Jiahong hurriedly shouted, "Go and observe the explosion point."

"Yes."

A worker ran over quickly, and after a while, ran back quickly.

"Report, it missed the target, but the high-explosive bomb hit the target, creating a shallow crater about ten meters in size."

"Haha, that's fine."

Zhao Tianyang smiled and said, "At least the distance has reached the standard. Let's continue the test!"

"Yes."

Finally, after a day of continuous testing, Zhao Tianyang obtained the detailed data of the two mortars.

"Mortar:?"

"Total gun weight: 70 jin."

"Rate of fire: 25 rounds per minute."

"Minimum range: 85 meters."

"Maximum range: 3040 meters."

High and low shooting range: 45 degrees to 85 degrees.

Direction of fire: 3 degrees left and right. "

"Caliber: 82 mm."

...........

"Bombardment gun:?"

"Total gun weight: 550 jin."

"Maximum range: 5520 meters."

"Minimum range: 450 meters."

"High and low shooting: 45 degrees - 80 degrees."

"Directional shooting range: 4 degrees left and right."

"Caliber: 100 mm."

"It can be finalized now."

After reading the information, Zhao Tianyang said to Gong Jiahong: "The names are Taihang Type 82 100 Mortar and Taihang Type Mortar."

"Hurry up and arrange for manpower for mass production. The war is about to start and we need to strengthen the troops."

"no problem!"

Gong Jiahong hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Minister, you promised us that after we finish producing mortars, we can officially produce cannons!"

"Haha, I didn't say you can't give birth!"

Zhao Tianyang smiled and said, "Although the production task is urgent now, I allow you to select some elites to study the cannon."

"Great."

Gong Jiahong said excitedly: "Minister, you don't know that I brought back three college students from Lanzhou. This time I can finally let them play a role."

"Haha, okay."

Zhao Tianyang nodded: "Now the squad, platoon, company, and battalion all have supporting artillery. The next step is to start developing regimental artillery!"

"So what caliber of artillery should we research?"

Gong Jiahong asked.

"Since it is a regimental artillery, let's make it a 75mm mountain artillery!"

Zhao Tianyang thought for a moment and said, "It can't be too heavy. It has to be able to move in the mountainous area with manpower even without any traction equipment."

"Okay, I see."

Gong Jiahong nodded.

After leaving the cannon factory, Zhao Tianyang prepared to return to Ningxia to deal with some matters of the Ministry of Industry.

"Buy some cakes!"

"Hey, buns! Hey, buns!"

"Chinese cabbage, fresh Chinese cabbage."

"Hey, come and have a look! The hare we just caught is so fat!"

Listening to the sounds of people buying vegetables on both sides of the street, Zhao Tianyang said happily to Li Yuncai beside him.

"Look, how lively!"

"Yes!"

Li Yuncai echoed, "When we first came here, the people here were numb-eyed, pale-faced and thin."

"Now their situation is much better, and they can all start small businesses."

"haha, yes!"

"boom."

"Be careful."

Just as Zhao Tianyang was about to speak, a bullet passed by him. Li Yun yelled and pulled Zhao Tianyang to a corner of the street and hid him.

"Killing!"

"Run!"

It has to be said that today’s common people are very professional at avoiding gunfights.

After the gunshots, in less than ten minutes, the streets that were bustling just now became empty.

"Fuck it, notify the others, it's time to take action."

In a restaurant on the street, a man in a mandarin jacket pounded his fist and gave instructions to several young men beside him.

"Well, aren't we running?"

Zhao Tianyang asked Li Yuncai who was observing the street.

"Minister, you don't understand. The person who just shot was probably targeting you. They won't care if the people run away, but if we run, they might shoot."

Li Yuncai explained while observing his surroundings vigilantly.

"This is a designated vegetable market. Our patrols are very intense. We only have to wait six minutes at most for someone to come and rescue us."

"Over there, are those people here to kill us?"

Zhao Tianyang pointed to the street on the left and asked six men in coarse clothes who were running over.

"Fuck."

Li Yuncai cursed, and without saying anything else, he took out a special grenade filled with TNT from his arms and threw it over.

“Grenade!!”

The six young and strong men were unable to react in time and were directly sent to hell.

"Run!"

After Li Yuncai threw away the grenade, he pulled Zhao Tianyang and ran towards the Ministry of Industry building.

"At this."

"Bang, bang, bang."

In just a distance of more than 20 meters, Zhao Tianyang encountered four people who came to assassinate him.

However, it was also these people's assassination that allowed Zhao Tianyang to witness Li Yuncai's fighting ability.

He was holding a Taihang Type 1 pistol and a few grenades. He soon broke through the enemy's encirclement and brought Zhao Tianyang to the Ministry of Industry building.

"It's the Minister. Quick, open the door."

At the entrance of the industrial department, several employees holding rifles and submachine guns rushed out and welcomed Zhao Tianyang in.
