This kind of "unconscionable artillery" used by the PLA in the War of Liberation had tedious preparations before firing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

First of all, it was necessary to advance to a few hundred meters in front of the enemy's position under the cover of infantry.

This position is very dangerous, you must know that at that time, from rifles to grenades to small-caliber artillery, etc., any weapon can kill and injure the operator of the "unconscionable cannon" at this distance.

Then the operators also need to dig a large pit at a specific angle according to the direction of the enemy to be shot according to the direction of the enemy's counterattack.

Next, it is necessary to bury the prepared gasoline drums, which have been wound with iron wire or thickened, into the large pit that has just been dug.

Then carefully pat it with clay, basically to the extent that the head of the tube cannot be exposed.

The next step is to carefully measure the weight of the propellant and then fill the explosive pack with an extended fuse.

At the same time as pulling the fuse of the explosive bag, ignite the propellant as soon as possible, and rely on the energy released when the propellant deflagrates to throw the explosive bag that has opened the fuse.

Therefore, the firing of the "unconscionable cannon" is very troublesome, and when the angle is fixed, the firing range of the up, down, left and right is also fixed, and if you want to adjust the shelling point, you can only rely on the amount of propellant to measure.

What's even more troublesome is that there is also a limit on the number of times this kind of artillery can be fired, and if you are not careful, you will be "cannon" and die.

Therefore, after the PLA got enough artillery from the captain of the transport brigade of the national army, they quickly abandoned this "unconscionable artillery".

As an aside, in fact, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the PLA did not completely abandon the "conscienceless cannon" in its training materials.

Of course, it is not to directly use this gasoline barrel style "cannon", but to "improve" it, making this "cannon" more convenient to use and more suitable for rapid fire.

How to change? That is, the iron canister was completely abandoned, and a pit with a certain angle was dug in the ground instead.

Inside the pit, the firing system of the "conscienceless cannon" is placed, that is, the upper and lower explosive packs, the lower explosive packs are propellants, and the upper explosive packets are naturally shells.

This is a small skill branch of the "blasting" item among the five basic skills of the PLA.

Of course, with such changes, the already miserable accuracy of the shelling has become even more unbearable.

In the history before Chen Xin's crossing, when the flower planter and the polar bear confronted each other and prepared for a nuclear war, this technology was also introduced into the militia training with the strategy of all the people being soldiers, and became one of the militia's combat skills.

As an aside, this method of warfare has nothing to do with the current kingdom.

Continuing with the armed parade, the kingdom did not have enough artillery production capacity, and there was no way to install cannons on all the transport ships, so it could only install some "fake cannons" to confuse the enemy.

Of course, the "fake cannon" doesn't really say that it is loaded with the kind of goods that can't be fired, in fact, the kingdom used the "conscienceless cannon" at that time.

Naturally, the "conscienceless cannon" temporarily installed by the kingdom on transport ships could not use the simplest version without a "bubble cylinder" that was later "improved" by the People's Liberation Army and popularized to the militia.

Rather, it was the most rudimentary version used in the War of Liberation, and although the kingdom did not have gasoline barrels, this kind of thing was not too difficult to make, and several machine factories temporarily processed some large-caliber iron barrels, which could be used as a rudimentary "conscienceless cannon" firing mechanism.

In addition, in the grand plan at that time, in order to equip those transport ships with "unconscionable guns", the Kingdom Shipyard also modified the ships to a certain extent, cut a part of the wooden deck, and then filled a large amount of earth to fill the "cannon barrel" as a shock absorption and decompression measure for the gun chamber.

It's just that this kind of "unconscionable cannon" placed on the ship has the limitation of firing angle and firing range, although the power of the explosive package fired is not weaker than that of the smoothbore cannon of this era, and even once hit, it surpasses the damage effect, but the way of projectile firing greatly reduces the flexibility of the artillery, and the combat effectiveness is really too poor.

Fortunately, there are more than 70 fast crabs of various types escorted, and these fast crabs basically have 20 smoothbore guns that fire 10 pounds of iron bullets, and one or two mortar guns that fire 30 pounds of iron bullets.

There is also a Sea Shark-class test ship, which is the primary test model of the three Sea Shark-class warships that were officially included in the naval combat sequence, with 75mm rifled guns on it.

After that, this large fleet of more than 200 ships with a displacement of more than 200 tons and various seas carried out a large-scale armed parade in the sea area between the kingdom and the south of the Ming Dynasty.

Flying its own flag, the fleet sailed along the Daming coastline from Japan to the Kingdom of Korea to the waters of Shandong, showing a northward direction, then westward to the Annam region, and then back to the Kingdom's shipyards for a complete refit.

Although the entire armed parade plan took a full half a year before and after, it delayed a lot of transportation tasks and made the kingdom earn a lot of money. And a lot of material and money was also spent on the modification of the hull.

But everyone up and down the kingdom believes that this is a price worth the kingdom pays.

Because this large armed parade was really very effective, it fiercely shocked the Daming pirate group in the Daming Sea area.

Speaking of which, some people who know something about the tasks of that era may wonder.

Because it is recorded in history that Zheng Yiguan in 1620 owned thousands of sea ships.

Moreover, Zheng Yiguan is also Zheng Zhilong, and to put it simply, Zheng Chenggong's father is not the only pirate force on the sea at that time.

He has not yet been recruited by the Ming Dynasty, and he has not been able to use the power of the Ming Dynasty to complete the integration of the major pirates in the Ming Sea, and there are at least a dozen pirate forces that can fight against him at that time.

So, why can more than 200 sea ships be able to cause such a great deterrent to the pirates in the Daming Sea?

In fact, although the shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty was extremely developed, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, it made a large treasure ship with an extremely amazing tonnage, cruising the four seas to promote the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and the number of ships launched every year was very terrifying.

However, in the later years, the Ming Dynasty tried its best to limit the tonnage of sea ships, not only never made large treasure ships again, but even did not allow the private sector to manufacture sea ships with a displacement of more than 100 tons.

Therefore, those pirates in the Daming region, almost all of them have nothing in their hands that can be handled, and there are sea ships with absolute combat power.
