Chapter 131 Sir, what is this iron pipe

Zhao Daniu looked at the wooden boxes on the ground and asked in a low voice, "My lord, what are these boxes inside? Why are they so long?"

"Yes, yes, why is it so long?" Song Hu also asked in echo.

Zhao Wen looked at the puzzled crowd and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, a treasure that is hard to find."

Zhao Wen took out the crowbar with a smile, and directly opened the lid of a wooden box.

Zhao Wen put the crowbar next to the box and reached out to tear off the oiled paper on the Type 55 120mm mortar.

"Hiss, what is this?"

Everyone looked at the cannon barrel emitting a faint blue light, and gasped.

"Is this a big firecracker?"

Song Hu touched the cannon barrel and looked at Zhao Wen with doubts.

Zhao Wen touched the cannon barrel and said with a smile: "This is not a big fire blunderbuss, it's a cannon."

"Cannon? Why is the cannon so small? Are you kidding us, my lord?" Zhao Daniu looked at Zhao Wen suspiciously and asked in disbelief.

Although the length of the Type 55 mortar is exaggerated, it is still pitifully small compared with the red cannons and Franc machine guns of this era.

"Don't look at this mortar as big as the Flang machine and the red cannon, but it's not less powerful than them." Zhao Wen patted the barrel and said to them: "You find some people to come over and get these cannons Outside Longmen Fort, I will open your eyes when the time comes."

"Yes!"

……

The Type 55 mortar weighs more than 500 kilograms, and it is not so easy to move.

Zhao Daniu and the others found a few carts, lifted several Type 55 artillery pieces on the ground onto the carts, and created the Longmen Fort.

Three or four miles outside Longmen Fort, Zhao Wen asked them to unload the mortars.

Zhao Wen was just an ordinary college student before, and he could almost play with guns and the like, but if he encountered such a difficult weapon, it would be a bit troublesome.

If it wasn't for the user manual in the Type 55 mortar, Zhao Wen really couldn't figure it out.

"You take out all the things in the box." Zhao Wen took out the manual from the box, pointed to the mortar in the box, and said to Zhao Daniu and the others.

Zhao Daniu, Song Hu and Liu Wu took a deep breath and mustered all their strength to lift the mortar out.

"Now, you assemble the mortar as I said." Zhao Wen opened the instruction manual and said to them.

A few quarters of an hour later, a mortar was assembled under Zhao Wen's guidance.

Zhao Wen took the manual and studied it carefully for a long time, then stuffed the manual into his arms and walked towards the mortar.

He fiddled with the mortar for a long time, adjusted the shooting target to a boulder two miles away, and then opened the box next to it containing the shells.

"Damn it, this shell is really heavy." Zhao Wen kept panting heavily as he held the shell weighing dozens of kilograms.

"Stay away, this guy is very powerful."

Zhao Wen stood there holding the cannonball and said to the crowd.

Zhao Daniu looked at the Type 55 mortar with disdain, and said in a low voice: "Just such a broken iron pipe, how powerful can it be? Just this shell, which looks so weird, I still don't believe its power can How big."

Also, the artillery of this era can easily weigh a thousand catties, and it is indeed not comparable to this mortar.

Moreover, the artillery of this era basically fired solid iron balls, which must be much larger in size than 120mm shells.

Zhao Daniu was standing near the mortar, looking at the mortar with disdain.

Zhao Wen chuckled lightly and said, "Just watch it, don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes."

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he carefully loaded the shells into it.

As soon as Zhao Wen put the shells in, he squatted on the ground with his mouth wide open and his hands covering his ears.

Zhao Daniu looked at Zhao Wen and said, "My lord, what are you afraid of? This cannon is so small that it can..."

Before Zhao Daniu finished speaking, a loud noise came from the muzzle of the mortar, followed by an orange flame.

"Bang!!!"

A shell flew forward at a speed visible to the naked eye with a howling sound.

The entire mortar was shaken backwards, and the dust on the ground was instantly shaken by the powerful recoil.

Zhao Daniu stared blankly at the mortar in front of him, coughing non-stop from being choked by the dust.

The mortar shells whistled, heading towards the boulder in the distance with an exaggerated parabola.

"Oh!"

A loud noise like thunder came from a distance, and the shell fell two meters away from the boulder.

After all, it was Zhao Wen's first time firing a cannon, so the aiming was inevitably a bit inaccurate.

Although the boulder was not hit accurately, the shock wave generated by the explosion of the 120mm large-caliber shell could kill all living forces in an area of ​​more than 100 square meters in the center of the explosion.

With such a powerful lethality, after a burst of flames, it directly frightened the boulder into powder.

For a moment, countless stone fragments flew around.

Zhao Daniu looked at the boulder in a daze, as if he was stupid.

Zhao Wen shook his head and stood up from the ground.

"This nima's power is really great, it almost killed me." Zhao Wen patted the dust on his body and said with a sad face.

Song Hu and the others stood in the distance with their mouths wide open, looking in shock at the boulder blown into pieces in the distance.

The soldiers pulling the carts trembled, looking forward as if they had seen a ghost, as if they had encountered something unbelievable.

"Mother, my lord, what kind of fairy weapon are you?" Zhao Daniu took a long time to recover, he pointed to the boulder that was blown into pieces in the distance, and said with a blank face.

Zhao Wen chuckled and said, "Don't you believe in this mortar? Why, do you believe it now?"

Zhao Daniu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and nodded without even wiping off the dust on his face, "My lord, I believe it. My lord is a god, I dare not believe it."

"Haha!" Zhao Wenfang laughed loudly and patted Zhao Daniu's shoulder.

Song Hu walked slowly to Zhao Wen's side, looking at the Type 55 mortar with vigilance.

"My lord, you said this thing is called a Type 55 mortar?" Zhao Daniu pointed at the mortar vigilantly and asked cautiously.

The impact of this mortar on Song Hu is really too great, it is countless times more powerful than the red cannon.

Song Hu has grown so big, when has he seen such a powerful weapon?So it is inevitable to be a little apprehensive.

Zhao Wen patted the mortar and said with a smile, "That's right, it's called the Type 55 mortar."

"My lord, why are the names of the weapons you made so strange? The previous 56 and a half, 67, 56 light machine guns, and the current 55." Li Xiaosan ran to Zhao Wen, and kept touching With a mortar.

"Let me see, this cannon should be called Shenwei Invincible General Cannon."

"Right, right, my lord should be called by this name."

Zhao Daniu, Song Hu, Liu Wu, and even Wang Qi, who didn't speak much at ordinary times, hurriedly spoke up.

Zhao Wen smashed his mouth and said, "Okay, then according to your opinion, let's call it the Shenwei Invincible General Cannon. By the way, who of you wants to hit him?"

Zhao Wen patted the cannon barrel and looked at everyone with a seductive expression.

Li Xiaosan jumped up directly, and said excitedly: "My lord, I'll come, I'll come!"

Zhao Daniu gave Li Xiaosan a light look, and said in a deep voice, "You little baby, what are you shooting for? Get up quickly and let me do it."

Regardless of Li Xiaosan's objection, Zhao Daniu directly took out a cannonball from the cannonball box.

"Insert the cannonball from the front of the barrel. Remember, the tail is down and the head is up. When firing, don't forget to pull out the front safety of the cannonball." Zhao Wen stood near the mortar and kept cheering for Zhao Daniu. guiding.

Although there is also an instruction manual in the box, these people can't read a single word, and it's useless to read it, so it's better to guide it yourself.

"Hey, my lord, just watch it." Zhao Daniu laughed loudly, and then said: "You all run away."

After everyone ran more than ten steps away, Zhao Daniu stuffed the shells in according to what Zhao Wen said just now.

Zhao Daniu also imitated Zhao Wen just now, and squatted down hastily, but accidentally touched the gun barrel when squatting down, causing the mortar to tilt slightly.

Youdao is a small difference and a thousand miles away. Because of this touch, the trajectory of the shell is slightly deviated.

"Oh!"

Another shell flew forward.

At this time, Fan Zheng led Liu Wenqing to sit in a carriage, and walked forward under the protection of several guards.

"Brother Fan? What's that sound?"

When the first shell exploded, Liu Wenqing looked at Fan Zheng suspiciously.

Fan Zheng was sitting in the carriage, his body swaying with the swing of the carriage.

He stroked his beard, closed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "It should be General Zhao who is training soldiers. The sound sounds like the sound of cannons. Anyway, don't be afraid, this Longmen Fort is not a den of dragons and tigers."

After hearing Fan Zheng's words, Liu Wenqing felt slightly relieved.

The carriage creaked and walked forward. Suddenly, there was another dull sound, followed by a whistling sound.

The cannonball that Zhao Daniu stuffed into the barrel fell directly a hundred steps away from the carriage.

"Oh!"

The cannonball exploded directly, kicking up countless clouds of dust.

Although such a long distance poses no threat to Fan Zheng and the others, the horses pulling the carriage have not been specially trained, they are just ordinary draft horses. At the moment of the explosion, they stood up and ran wildly in panic.

Liu Wenqing grabbed Fan Zheng's arm with a panicked expression, and his body kept shaking.

"Help, the horse is startled, hurry to find General Zhao!!!"

Fan Zheng hurriedly shouted to the outside of the carriage.
