In the afternoon, the militia easily brought this recoilless gun to the test site, because its total weight was less than 50 kilograms, and this time with the addition of a wheeled gun mount, in fact, a soldier could easily pull this gun away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The cannon was fixed on the gun emplacement, and the rear bracket was also extended and inserted into the ground.

Its simple appearance was eye-catching, and Doronin and his warriors really saw this somewhat stocky "little guy", when in fact it was a real killer.

How to do this, this will be explained directly by Rigushkov to the people of the whole company. Yang Mingzhi just needs to watch from the sidelines, and cover his ears when he fires.

As Riguskov explained, Doronin was very surprised, because the cannon had no shells at all. He was so interested that he simply became a gunner himself, so that he could also get to know the weapon well at zero distance.

"It's really simple and crude, we don't use cartridge shells, it's like the loading mode of a large-caliber battery gun, and the warhead and ****** are actually placed separately." Doronin was surprised, because the presence of shells was to ensure the efficient operation of the artillery.

He asked with a lot of mouth: "If this cannon is fired many times, the barrel will inevitably overheat." We just stuffed the gunpowder bag in a big way, and it didn't happen? ”

"It won't!" "As an artilleryman, you know that there is a problem with the rate of fire. As long as it is fired infrequently, it can avoid problems caused by overheating, and it cools down very quickly. ”

What Doronin asked were some professional questions about artillery, which Yang Mingzhi knew very little, so the design of artillery must also be discussed with the professionals of the "Weapons Design Bureau". He has learned a lot of relevant knowledge these days, but he is still not as good as Doronin, who has both practical and theoretical skills.

Regarding the problem of overheating, the solution is to thin the barrel and add several heat sinks to the gun body, of course, the best heat dissipation is water cooling. The current swamp has not yet melted away, and most of the area is covered with snow and ice that freeze again at night. The problem with Doronin is not actually a problem.

However, the person in charge of the weapons manufacture, including Yang Mingzhi, also had to admit that because of the difficulties in all aspects caused by the war, it was very reluctant to manufacture such weapons for the time being. Doronin also knew this, and he didn't ask any more.

Throughout the afternoon, the gun was fired ten times at a rate of one round a minute, and the most feared problem of overheating the barrel was not a problem. Even if an ordinary artillery gun shoots ten rounds in ten minutes, and the barrel is already in danger of overheating and bending, this recoilless gun does not have these problems.

Ten shells hit a huge target area circled by white ash a kilometer away, and each explosion was a yellow mushroom cloud except for the shock wave visible to the naked eye. It was the result of an explosion of picric acid, and the smoke was poisonous.

It doesn't look good, and the results achieved are good, but the smoke on the side of the gun emplacement is really serious.

Doronin himself was helplessly blackened by the smoke, even if there were many problems, this artillery did destroy the target, and the accuracy was also very high.

He stood in front of the division leader with a bad face, saluted the military salute, and the smile on his face could not be dispersed.

"Look at your image, it's hard for you. You must be criticizing this artillery. Yang Mingzhi asked.

"There are a lot of problems, but it's hard to hide its value. At least we have a reliable artillery, and I'm happy with the range and lethality. ”

"But don't you think this gunpowder is really too big? There will be danger in battle. Yevlov asked.

"I admit it, but we have a countermeasure." Doronin pointed to the gun's wheels, "It's very light, it's a big deal, fire once, and we'll immediately shift the problem." On the contrary, the exposure of gunpowder gas can also attract the enemy very well, and when they hit the attack there, the real artillery and artillery have been transferred. ”

This dialectical rhetoric did not allow Yang Mingzhi to anticipate it. The gunpowder gas problem that he was worried about, can this Doronin really solve it by such means? Or did he need artillery too much, so he didn't complain directly about this.

However, Doronin immediately asked: "Now that we have recoilless guns, when will rocket-propelled grenades be installed in the troops?" ”

"Soon! At that time, your artillery will also be equipped with a part. Even your recoilless gun, with a little modification, can become a single rocket launch system. ”

These uplifting words made everyone imagine the future, and Doronin grinned as he received their new weapons and was promised more weapons and equipment in the future.

The afternoon test ended in victory, and the gun had been fired more than 20 times so far, and then it was checked that there were no cracks, and all parts were in order. This is the result of Riguskov, and Yang Mingzhi did not take credit.

The entire artillery company temporarily settled in the village of blacksmiths and lived in new barracks. Yang Mingzhi estimated that he would simply let them all be stationed in the blacksmith village.

"The artillery will eventually be expanded, and the blacksmith village is responsible for making artillery, and the new results can immediately equip the troops." Yang Mingzhi kicked out at the dinner table.

Yevlov fully supported this, because according to the original plan, a considerable number of troops of the barracks were to be relocated to this collective farm. Because of the location of the catfish village, it is relatively close to the Pripet River, and the terrain there is relatively low-lying.

On the last day of the Russian calendar in 1941, Yang Mingzhi and his wife spent time in the blacksmith village. After dinner, the two went directly to the new division headquarters, where the most important figures of the 284th Division gathered, waiting for the clock hands to point to zero hour.

As it darkened, the village that should have been quiet was bustling with activity, the barracks were lit up, and almost no one wanted to go to bed early that night.

They played games in their respective barracks, including in the division headquarters.

"Let me tell you first, I'm not a child, let's forget about this game of drawing lots and singing." Yevlov waved his hand reluctantly.

This upset Yerentina. "We don't have anything else to do now, and this year the army has not held theatrical performances, so we senior officers can only relax and relax like this. In addition, we have other games. ”

When he was told this, Yevlov had no choice but to agree. This Yerenkina is the person he likes, and tonight is all up to her.

The army's arrangements for Christmas are very simple, not as complicated as the villagers. Moreover, because almost all of us have family members who have died in the war, this New Year is not destined to be as happy as before.

At least some of the villagers cut down some branches, and because they couldn't find pine trees, they simply used other branches to decorate the Christmas tree. Moreover, in terms of customs, the villagers are more particular, they almost do not eat during the day, in order to eat a big meal on Christmas Eve, which is similar to the Chinese custom of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

And the requirements of the army will not change, everyone must not only eat, but also eat more. The Christmas Eve dinner is still being prepared, so Yang Mingzhi and others must wait for the arrival of the New Year.

Four people gathered at the division headquarters, a traverser, a young woman from an orphanage, a war orphan, and a person without a home. At this moment, everyone seems to be like a family.

After drinking some wine, Yevlov was relieved, and he was not stingy with cutting his throat when he sang by lot. And singing, there is no doubt that a woman's good voice is worth everyone's expectation. Yelentina and star fruit, their singing is beautiful and beautiful.

However, Yang Mingzhi is a little bit of a limelight here, as a guy who has a prophetic vision and others will never know, he is very ashamed to take out the songs of the future Liubai band. The song "Veteran" touched everyone.

"I never thought you would make up songs." Yerenkina teased.

"Sort of. Inspired by it. Yang Mingzhi shook his head, "No matter what, including my wife Besika, all of us are warriors and comrades-in-arms, and this relationship is like relatives to each other." ”

"I agree with that, brother." Yevlov did not hesitate to say the word brother, "Now, I feel that everyone is no different from relatives." ”

"Yes, as a warrior, my back is guarded by you." Yang Mingzhi stretched out his right hand, and the palms of the four people were pressed together. (To be continued.) )
