Chapter 633: A New Type of Artillery


After Qiao Zhiqing finished visiting the disabled soldiers, he found a random place in the community and sat down.The officials stood respectfully behind them, and the military families and disabled soldiers of the community formed a circle in front of them.They knew that Qiao Zhiqing was here to administer justice, and their faces were full of excitement."

Brother Mu, the officials I found for you are all here.This is your Governor Wei Guodong, if you have any grievances, just tell him" Qiao Zhiqing pointed at Wei Guodong and called the stall owner to speak."

Yes, yes, this is what I said" The stall owner nodded hurriedly, and the habit of the previous dynasty was raised, and he wanted to kneel when he saw the official.But he was afraid that Qiao Zhiqing would be unhappy, so he couldn't bear it and didn't dare to kneel.That half-squatting and half-rising posture is really a bit funny.Wei Guodong wiped the cold sweat on his head as he listened, and only then did he understand why Qiao Zhiqing came to this community.He glared at his daughter a little depressed, and secretly scolded this girl for having no conscience.Wei Ziyou stuck out his tongue at him, covered his small mouth, and was amused by his sad-faced father."

Your Excellency, the Provincial Department of Finance has always paid pensions to disabled servicemen according to the average income in Nanjing, but I don't know why it has become like this below.This matter will definitely be investigated and dealt with by his subordinates, and he will not tolerate the cultivation of adultery" After the stall owner finished speaking, Wei Guodong took a step forward and promised Qiao Zhiqing his fist."

Okay, Governor Wei has said so, and I don't have anything more to say.I will stay in Nanjing for three days, I hope Governor Wei will give me a result in three days" Qiao Zhiqing nodded, really curious who was doing nonsense under his own banner.A small director of the Civil Affairs Bureau dared to embezzle the pensions of disabled servicemen with impunity.Whoever is found out must be cut down to make an example.After dealing with the pension matter, Qiao Zhiqing took Wei Ziyou directly to the Nanjing Military Factory, accompanied by Hu Wenhai, which was the main purpose of his trip.Wei Guodong and the officials persuaded him to go to the government guest house to become the owner, but he did not agree and continued to live in the Wanguo Guesthouse.Wei Guodong had no choice but to let the public security strengthen the security at the entrance of the Wanguo Guesthouse.All guests in and out of the hotel are emptied and all staff are not allowed to leave the hotel at will for the time being.When Dai Yuanzheng, the director of the Nanjing Military Factory, learned that Qiao Zhiqing was coming, he hurriedly took the main executives and technical backbones of the factory to greet him at the door.Qiao Zhiqing got out of the carriage, and Dai Yuanzheng stepped forward excitedly.Since Qiao Zhiqing moved the capital to Beijing, the two have fewer and fewer opportunities to meet."

Welcome, welcome, welcome, Your Excellency.But I'm looking forward to you, the whole factory misses you" Dai Yuanzheng and Qiao Zhiqing shook hands excitedly, and he began to be able to speak well.After all, he is also the head of a factory now, and he always has to deal with people.He was dressed in an arsenal uniform, because Qiao Zhiqing came suddenly, he didn't change it in time, and his body was still smeared with oil.The beard is unkempt, the hair is unkempt, and he looks unkempt."

Okay, we're all waiting to see your wonderful performance, let's start quickly" Qiao Zhiqing smiled, didn't be polite to him, and went straight to the topic."

Okay, Your Excellency President, Commander Hu, let's go to the test site" Dai Yuanzheng stretched out his right hand to make a request, and everyone entered the factory gate with a smile, and a small steamer stopped at the entrance door.Because the military factory had to transport a large number of heavy weapons to the off-site, it also built railroad tracks and connected it to the Nanjing railway line.This small steamer is specially used for workers to commute to work, and the military factory covers an area the size of a dozen football fields, and it is also five or six miles from the factory gate to the test site.After everyone got on the small steamer, Dai Yuanzheng became a guide, constantly introducing the factories on both sides to the people in the car, with a proud look on his face.This military factory has poured a lot of effort into it, and it has also started from a private house in Suzhou and gradually developed into the current scale.Now a large number of expeditionary rifles, grenades, expeditionary machine guns, and mortars are produced in the factory every day, and orders are always in short supply."

Director Dai, are you still single now" Qiao Zhiqing looked at the busy workers with satisfaction, and asked Dai Yuanzheng casually.When he first followed Qiao Zhiqing, he was still a hairy young man, and now he doesn't know if he has started a family."

Back to the president, I'm still single, where do I have time to see the girl when I'm busy all day" Dai Yuanzheng touched his head and smiled a little shyly.Everyone on the small steamer laughed, except for Wei Ziyou, they were all old men on the small steamer, and everyone had nothing to shy away from."

That's not good, work is important, life is also important.You can't delay your life problems just because of work. ”Qiao Zhiqing criticized him with a smile, turned his head to Wei Ziyou and ordered, "Ziyou, you help Director Dai look at it."

No matter which famous lady it is, as long as she is willing to live a down-to-earth life, she will be a matchmaker with Dai Changzheng and matchmaking" "Don't worry, president, this task will be completed" Wei Ziyou was also amused by Dai Yuanzheng's expression, and a factory director would blush a little when he asked about women.When there were many people, she was also commensurate with Qiao Zhiqing as the president, and she didn't dare to go beyond the rules."

Thank you President for your concern" Dai Yuanzheng felt a burst of warmth in his heart, and felt that the tiredness of his whole body was swept away.If there is no Qiao Zhiqing, he is just a blacksmith in the military workshop, where is everything now.Qiao Zhiqing's little concern was like a great gift in Dai Yuanzheng's eyes.Now Qiao Zhiqing is letting him die, and he has no complaints."

President, our life problems must also be solved" As soon as Wei Ziyou's words fell, Wang Wu and several personal soldiers behind the small steamer followed suit."

Okay, solve it, go back to Beijing and solve it all" Qiao Zhiqing smiled, he was completely like a big brother next door, and he was not as strict as in the morning.Hu Wenhai frowned all the way, and when he thought of the miserable life of the disabled soldiers, his stomach was full of depression and indignation.He secretly blamed himself for not taking good care of his brothers, and for letting them suffer such a great grievance.He didn't know who was behind all this, and he kept telling himself that if he found that person, he would have to skin him alive.As soon as the training ground arrived, the group got down from the small steamer under the beckoning of Dai Yuanzheng and all sat on the viewing platform.Located at the foot of the remnants of the Purple Mountain, the mountain is painted with white paint and can be seen with the naked eye on the stage.The artillery and technical engineers in charge of the drill were already present, and after Dai Yuanzheng waved the command flag, the drill of the new artillery officially began.A total of 10 artillery pieces participated in the drill, starting from setting up artillery positions, loading ammunition, firing guns, replacing them, continuing to fire guns, and a series of other processes had to be rehearsed.In order to distinguish the comparison between the old and new artillery, Dai Yuanzheng also found ten British breech guns to practice together, and had a real confrontation match.The command flag was waved, and the men and horses of the two sides pushed the artillery into the position one after another.The same 24-pounder gun, the new gun was clearly two or three times taller.The system of measuring the rank of artillery by the weight of shells, probably derived from the Royal Navy in the time of Queen Elizabeth, mainly included 6 pounds, 9 pounds, 12 pounds, 18 pounds, 24 pounds, 32 pounds, and 42 pounds.Because copper is more resistant to high temperature and pressure than iron, and can be recast and reused after scrapping, most of the artillery of this era was cast in copper."

President, please see, the biggest difference between our artillery and British artillery is that our artillery is cast of steel, while the British artillery is still mainly made of copper.This steel is specially used in artillery, is resistant to high temperatures and pressures, and is also a composite steel.Even if you shoot continuously for an hour, the barrel will not have an accident with the bore. ”The artillery of the two sides were arranging their positions one after another, and Dai Yuanzheng pointed to the new type of artillery and constantly introduced the characteristics to Qiao Zhiqing."

Is the supply of this kind of steel produced by which steel plant can meet the demand" Qiao Zhiqing looked at the operation of the artillery with a telescope, and admired it in his heart, this is a bit of an artillery look."

Just now provided by Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant, the steel they produce can fully meet the requirements.Because the quality of the coal mines in the south of the Yangtze River is not good, the steel produced by the Nanjing Iron and Steel Plant contains too many impurities, and now it can only be used for rifles.The production rate of this composite steel is very slow, and we can only produce ten artillery pieces a day with the steel provided by the Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant. ”Dai Yuanzheng gave a brief introduction, and a trace of anxious loss obviously flashed on his face."

It's okay, don't rush, take your time."

Qiao Zhiqing patted him on the shoulder and smiled, and continued to carefully look at the new artillery with his binoculars.In appearance, the new gun is quite similar to the Type 54 gun of later generations.Everyone on the stage was given a data sheet, and Qiao Zhiqing carefully looked at the data and compared it with the British breech gun.The caliber of the new gun is 121 mm, the total weight is 2500 kg, the barrel length is 2.6 meters, the maximum range is 12000 meters, the minimum range is 3400 meters, the shell weighs 27 kg, it needs 810 people to operate, and the killing area is about the size of a classroom.British 24-pounder gun, caliber 148 mm, shell diameter 140 mm, barrel length 2.9 meters, the total weight is about 2500 kilograms, the amount of gunpowder is 6 pounds, the maximum firing range is about 1600 meters, the minimum firing range is 400 meters, 614 people are required to operate, and the killing area is the landing area of the shell."

The first gun emplacement of the artillery company is ready.""

The second artillery position of the artillery company is ready.""

In less than ten minutes, all ten new guns were in position and ready to fire.One gun is operated by ten people, and ten guns are the formation of a company."

Directly in front of the target, 100 gauges, one to ten gun positions on the left, all charged, three rapid shots loaded.Ready, put" The commander quickly gave the order to open fire, and this time each gun will also fire three shells."

No. 1 gun position, prepare, release" "No. 2 gun position, prepare, place"""The captains of each gun position also waved the order flag in their hands one after another and gave the order to fire the cannon last."

Boom, boom, boom" A rapid crackling sound suddenly sounded on the test site, as if a thunderbolt was falling overhead.Shocking to the lungs, buzzing in both ears.Wei Ziyou was so frightened that he covered his ears and hid in Qiao Zhiqing's arms with a loud scream."

Boom, boom, boom" shells made a screeching sound in the air, and in the blink of an eye they had already hit the pre-marked hillside."

Boom, boom, boom" A dense explosion resounded on the hillside in the distance.Billowing smoke mixed with fire shot straight into the sky, and the target suddenly collapsed and the ground cracked, and debris flew down.Everyone on the stage widened their eyes in shock, only Qiao Zhiqing smiled, kept stroking Wei Ziyou's little head, and motioned for her to get up and sit down.It's not that Qiao Zhiqing doesn't like Wei Ziyou lying in his arms, but Wei Ziyou's posture is too special.Her little face was buried between his thighs, and the direction of her small mouth happened to be where Qiao Zhiqing's lower body was, and even Wei Ziyou's hot breath was felt clearly.Qiao Zhiqing's heart fire rose for a while, and the old man who had no interest in his lower body was pressed against Wei Ziyou's red lips.The two of them were startled at the same time, and they hurriedly separated.Wei Ziyou's little face turned red, and his delicate body trembled with shame and irritability, and he almost didn't find a crack in the ground to get into
