Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

After Fade Chen finished speaking, he stretched out his hand in front of Lin Yuan and said, "Give me your telescope."

Lin Yuan didn't know what he was going to do, so he had to hand over the binoculars to him. Fade Chen looked at the shell for a while, and asked Lin Yuan, "Isn't this shell fired by the enemy on purpose to trap me?"

Lin Yuan asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Fade Chen said: "There are such weapons on the battlefield, such as the artillery shells that are intentionally left behind by the enemy when retreating. These shells have been tampered with. For example, the propellant cartridge is not filled with propellant powder, but the shell fuze. , if you use these shells, there will be a 'boom', and your cannon will be blown into the sky."

Lin Yuan said helplessly: "They didn't know you were coming, so how could they intentionally use fake shells to crater you. Besides, they didn't expect us to dismantle bombs for research, so this shell must be real."

Chen Fei nodded and smiled: "That's good. Look at this cannonball. Its head is stuck in the snow, and the body behind it is exposed. There are three protrusions on it. Do you know what it is for?"

Lin Yuan said: "The protrusion at the back is the bullet belt. When the shell moves in the barrel, the belt is inserted into the rifling to guide the shell to rotate in the bore; the two protrusions in the front are the centering part of the shell. The bottom of the gun can be tightly attached to the wall of the gun bore, and the shell will not swing left and right when it moves in the gun bore."

Fade Chen said: "In other words, these two places will definitely not install fuzes?"

Lin Yuan said: "That's right, these two places received a lot of force when launching, so it is impossible to install fuzes here."

Fade Chen said with a smile: "That's good, then I will go to dismantle the shells."

Lin Yuan grabbed him and said, "Tell me your method first. If it's unreliable, I won't let you go!"

Fade Chen said: "If you know so much about the structure of shells, you must know that the shells are empty and need to be filled with explosives, and the manufacturing of the shell, either by casting or forging, must be integral and there will be no screw connections. Mark of."

"The fuze is installed when the projectile body is built, so there must be traces of connection on the outside. When I go over, first check the tail of the projectile to see if there are any traces of connection on it. If not, then the fuze The position must be on the warhead, I found the connecting part of the warhead, and then unscrewed the fuze, and that was it.”

Lin Yuan said again: "Then what if it's a time fuse? It will explode when you go there!"

Fade Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have my own way."

Fade Chen then called a soldier and said to him, "Go get me a pot of water and a wrench."

The things were delivered soon, Fade Chen picked them up, walked out of the bunker carefully, slowly approached the cannonball, and walked to a place about 15 meters away from the cannonball.At this time, seeing Fade Chen lying on the ground, Lin Yuan couldn't help thinking: "What is he doing? If he wants to crawl forward, he doesn't need to start from 15 meters!"

Something even stranger happened. I saw Fade Chen lying quietly on the ground without moving for a long time. Lin Yuan didn't know what he was doing. When he was wondering, Fade Chen slowly stood up and approached him. Cannonball, then tiptoed up to the snowdrift.

Fade Chen is no stranger to all kinds of shells. He was lying on the ground just now. He was actually trying to determine whether the shell used a time fuze. There is no electronic time fuze in this era. All time fuzes should be controlled mechanically or gunpowder. There will be sound coming out of the column combustion control.

This sound is extremely small, and it is difficult for ordinary people to detect it, but Fade Chen's ears are very sensitive, so he can detect it. This is his unique skill, but he is not sure, after all, there are many noises in the surrounding space , so he lay on the ground and listened for a while before he was sure there was no time fuze in it.

Chen Fei concluded that the fuze inside must be a mechanical trigger fuze. This kind of fuze is very sensitive. Even rainwater hits the flying shells, which may even detonate the shells. If the installation is not enough, it is accurate. On the one hand, because the snow is relatively soft, it did not touch the fuze.

Fade Chen carefully observed the position where the shell stuck in the snow, and found that it was almost lying flat in the snow, which made Fade Chen very excited, so that he would have enough space to remove the fuse of the shell head.Fade Chen looked at the position of the cannonball, and calculated where the snow should be removed so that the bullet of the cannonball could be exposed.

Fade Chen closed his eyes, and calculated without distraction: "If the snow on the upper centering part is removed by a third, the projectile body will not move, and then the snow dug out is moved to the position behind the projectile, and the projectile body can be moved When the shell is padded, the position of the fuze of the warhead will be exposed." Fade Chen made up his mind and started digging for the shell.

Fade Chen took off his gloves, and felt a chill in his right hand.He gently picked the snow beside the cannonball, and he was also afraid that if he pushed the snow away too much, the cannonball would fall directly and then explode. Once such a thing happened, his life would be ruined!

Fade Chen felt that his hands were about to freeze. He still endured the pain and dug up the snow at the position of the projectile head. The projectile body was then supported on the snow by the centering part and the bullet belt, but the projectile head was exposed. Fade Chen thought to himself: "It seems that I did not make a mistake in my calculation! It succeeded!"

Just when Fade Chen was delighted, suddenly, the projectile body slid downwards. When Fade Chen saw it, his mind went blank with fright. It's really over!

However, the cannonball slid a few centimeters on the snow, and was dragged by the snow again. Fade Chen let out a sigh of relief. After such a fright, his hands that were so cold that he was so cold could not feel the pain anymore. Fade Chen took out the water bottle from his arms, He didn't dare to pour it directly on the snow, for he was afraid that if the water melted the snow, the projectile would move greatly.

So Fade Chen gently poured water on the body of the projectile, the water slowly flowed down from the body of the projectile, accumulated between the body of the projectile and the snow, and slowly froze. The thickness increased, so the speed of pouring water was accelerated, and soon, the ice layer froze the projectile and the snowdrift together.

Fade Chen looked at the thread between the fuze and the projectile body, and thought: "Just remove the fuze from the projectile body, and you're done." Fade Chen took out a wrench, gently locked the edge of the fuze, and then slowly Slowly increase the force, the thick ice froze the projectile body, and the fuze began to rotate slowly with the wrench.

This kind of fuze is very safe when the shell is not fired, because there is a locking structure inside, which can fix the firing pin inside the fuze, so even if the shell accidentally falls on the ground, it will not detonate. When rotating at high speed in the barrel, the fixing device will disengage the firing pin under the action of centrifugal force, so the fuze can be activated at any time.

Because of this, Fade Chen didn't dare to twist it too fast. He was worried that once the fuze was triggered with too much force, the shell would explode. In the air of more than ten degrees below zero, frostbite is very likely!

Enduring the pain in his hand, Fade twisted the fuze on the shell. Just when he thought he was going to be unable to hold on, he felt his hand loosen, and the fuze fell off the bullet with a "click" and fell on the snowdrift. .
