Chapter 282 One hundred and fifty mm cannon In fact, there are generally three ways to obtain civil cannons nowadays, the first is to be built by folk craftsmen, but this kind of privately cast artillery is extremely unreliable, extremely dangerous, and it will explode if you are not careful, and every time you open a cannon, you are gambling with the lives of artillery.
However, because the management of official cast cannons is too strict, it is basically impossible to flow out of the outside world, so privately cast cannons are still the mainstream of today's civilian cannons, which is always facing the risk of being seized, and privately cast cannons are still in short supply.
The second method is the lost ordnance, since it is a war, it is inevitable that the ordnance will be lost, so some people make a fuss about it.
Every time there is a war, he deliberately loses some of his arms, and then after the war, he will take them back and sell them privately to make huge profits.
However, the army investigated this matter very strictly, and once it was discovered, it would definitely be better to kill the mistake than let it go.
So far, about twenty cannons have been lost in this way, but more than 2,000 people have been killed or implicated as a result, and such a thing has gradually been eliminated under such severe blows.
The third is the same as the microscope, that is, to buy the middle layer of the arsenal, and the inside and outside should be combined with the arsenal to steal accessories, and by accumulating accessories, the cannon can be assembled.
This method is the most reliable, although it is a little slower, but it is the least noticeable - after all, it is too common for such a large arsenal to lose one or two parts once in a while, and no one will be overly obsessed.
However, this method is not without flaws, that is, the accessories that generally flow out in this form are generally the accessories of small artillery - after all, the larger the size of the artillery, it means that the volume of the accessories will be larger, and the larger the accessories means the greater exposure possibility, although these rats in the arsenal are greedy for money, but the degree of caution is much stronger than the garrison army in the arsenal.
This also caused the artillery that was circulated in this way to be generally small artillery, the most of which were 50 mm and 75 mm guns, and as for those over 100 mm, no one even dared to touch them.
It is precisely because of this that the momentum that Confucianism pulled in front of Bafa Valman is just a 75-mm cannon, although the power of the 75-mm cannon is strong, but if you want to be stronger than the 400,000 army, you must have a sufficient number, but how many people does Li Zhen have?
So even though Confucianism told Bafa Valman that the 75mm was only the least powerful artillery, and that there were even more powerful cannons in Li Zhen's barracks, he didn't care at all.
After all, he is a generation of heroes, and while the character of the heroes gives him a strong will, it also gives him another negative character, that is, conceit, or self-righteousness.
This is a side effect of his strong willpower, and if you want him to believe the truth of the matter, you must let him see it with his own eyes.
Otherwise, he would never have believed that there was such a terrible weapon in the world until he had seen the power of heavy artillery......
In his mind, the 75-mm artillery had a range of only about three zhang at most, and the caliber of the 150-mm gun was twice as large as the 75-mm artillery, and the corresponding firepower was only twice as large at most, although it was twice as violent, it was still useless for his 400,000-strong army.
Through this, we know that Bafa Valman's mathematics is obviously not good, and he does not know that there is a way of multiplier growth called geometric multiplier growth, and that 150 millimeters is indeed only twice as large as 75 millimeters, but the power is far from it.
A 75-millimeter shell can only reach a radius of three zhang, but a 150-millimeter artillery cannon will definitely be lifeless if it is fired at a radius of 10 zhang, and even if it is not injured by shrapnel and shock waves, the shock alone can shock people to death.
Don't think of anyone who can stand within thirty zhang, the power is not at all comparable to that of a mere 75-millimeter gun.
This is also if Li Zhen did not lose his mind and pulled those 250 mm cannons, the power would be even more frenzied, don't think there are people alive within 30 zhang, the direct killing effect is as high as 100 zhang, especially in the face of dense formations, one shot is hundreds of lives......
It's a pity that the 250-mm cannon puts too much pressure on logistics, and there are hundreds of kilograms of shells alone, how can this be transported?
And it's not just a matter of transportation, such a huge cannonball, the shock wave generated when launched can shock all the surrounding artillery, and there is a strong recoil, which is not something that the army can solve at all - in fact, this is a cannon specially prepared for the navy, but unfortunately this research is a bit too advanced, and now Datang has not yet made a battleship that can carry this level of giant cannon, and the arsenal can only try to build a few for testing, and then seal the drawings for the future.
However, although there are no 250-mm cannons, 150-mm heavy artillery is sufficient, and there are more than a dozen of them in the junior army, and a dozen 150-mm heavy guns, if they are fired with concentrated fire, their power is several times stronger than that of 250-mm heavy guns, and the rate of fire is much stronger than that of 250-mm cannons, in short, no worse than 250-mm cannons.
It's a pity that there are 150 mm cannons in the camp of the Cadet Army, not to mention Bafa Valman, and even the anti-Li Zhen Alliance does not know, they only know that there are some 120 mm heavy guns in the Junior Army, so they only solemnly warned Buffavahlman to be careful a few times, in fact, even they themselves did not pay much attention to it.
As for the one hundred and fifty millimeters, they did not know anything about it, otherwise they would not have just warned Bafa Valman, but would have done everything to prevent this war.
Although this seems ridiculous, after all, the victory or defeat of a war cannot be decided by weapons, but an advanced weapon can definitely affect the balance of war, especially strategic weapons - and there is no doubt that in this period, the 150mm heavy artillery is definitely one of the strategic weapons.
Although there is a hundred and fifty mm heavy artillery fire suppression, Li Zhen may not be able to win this war, but Li Zhen never intended to use the heavy artillery as suppressive firepower, the reason why he asked Hou Junji to bring him fifteen cannons, is because when he was studying the map near Tonglu City, he found a very interesting thing, especially after seeing a secret report in Fan Xueyi's palace, Li Zhen's interest was even greater, and he quickly formulated a crazy plan......
If the war can really go according to his plan, let alone the 400,000 Zhenla army, even if there are another 400,000, Li Zhen can eat them all......
