Chapter 1297 Comfort and Threat
The target of this mysterious artillery was the same type of target that the 800-pound gun could not penetrate at a distance of [-] meters. After hearing this explanation, the audience realized that the Haihan people deliberately used the shooting results to judge the target. Make a comparison to highlight the performance advantages of the new artillery.But can this strange-looking shell really hit such a distant target accurately?Even if it can hit, how much lethality can be retained after flying so far is also a point of curiosity for everyone.
Both Zheng Bai and Dong Yanyun raised similar questions about Yan Chujie, but Yan Chujie was full of confidence in it, and just let them watch with peace of mind.In fact, Haihan has already done a lot of preparatory work before this, not only did repeated test firing and calibration at the shooting position, but also carefully calculated the position and firmness of the target, in order to achieve the most ideal shooting during the demonstration Effect.
After the artillerymen finished their alignment and aiming, the starter next to him raised a small red flag indicating readiness.The audience immediately raised the binoculars in their hands and stared at the target in the distance, lest they miss any detail.
Yan Chujie nodded slightly to signal, and the guard beside him immediately raised a small red flag, indicating that they could start shooting.Immediately after the sound of the cannon, the audience saw from the field of vision of the telescope that the target frame erected at 800 meters trembled slightly. It was obvious that a shot had hit, and there was a sound of exclamation in the audience.After all, when the [-]-pound gun fired just now, it took five rounds to hit the target, and this was the operation of the Haihan artillery. If it were our own artillery, maybe ten rounds might not be able to hit one of them.
Of course, this may also be due to luck. As long as you aim in that direction and fire, isn't it possible to hit it?If you can hit every shot, that is really powerful.
Most of the audience quickly had such thoughts in their minds, but it was impossible to think about it. Although the Haihan artillery and artillery are very powerful, how could it be possible to achieve a hundred shots at such a distance.Even if a blind cat encounters dead mice, it can't be so lucky that it encounters a bunch of dead mice in a row.
However, the subsequent shooting results of the Haihan Artillery left all of them dumbfounded. All five shots in a row hit the target. This result probably cannot be explained by luck.Either the combat effectiveness of the Haihan Artillery is already supernatural, or the shooting accuracy of this artillery is far better than all the long-range weapons they know.And considering the purpose of Haihan's special display of this weapon, the conclusion is self-evident.
The audience was very much looking forward to the continuation of the target shooting demonstration, to see how many rounds it would take to miss the target, but unfortunately their wish failed to come true. The cannon was only fired five times, and the Announcing the shooting display is over.While the soldiers were bringing the target back from afar, Yan Chujie briefly explained the situation of the cannon.
"This gun is the latest achievement of Haihan Military Industry. As for the accuracy of shooting, everyone has seen it just now. In fact, its effective range is far beyond the distance we showed today, but it involves military secrets, and we do not It is convenient to directly announce the specific data to you.” Yan Chujie looked at the complicated expressions on the audience’s faces, and continued: “This artillery is still in the technical testing stage, so we will not install it in the army in the short term. , and will not be sold to the outside world, so you don’t have to worry that the emergence of such weapons will affect the existing peaceful situation in the South China Sea.”
Naturally, Yan Chujie spoke very beautifully, but most of the people present could hear the hidden meaning in his words.Even Liu Shang, who does not have a thorough understanding of the international situation in the South China Sea, can understand that half of his words are comforting, and the other half are threats.
Yan Chujie claimed that this kind of advanced artillery would not be equipped with the Haihan Army in the short term, but he probably believed it himself when he said this.Although what he said is indeed true, but with Haihan's operation methods in the field of armaments, the outside world will not believe that Haihan's military will really put such a good thing on the shelf and not make full use of it.What's more, this thing has already produced a finished product that can be used in actual combat, and it is not something that stays on paper. Haihan really feels at ease and wants to mass-produce it, so why not make it?
As for Yan Chujie's statement that he would not sell it to the outside world, everyone believed it. After all, Haihan never sold the active weapons of the Haihan army, not to mention that this kind of weapon was unheard of, and even the Haihan army hadn't listed it yet. new artillery.
However, Yan Chujie claimed that the test firing just now did not display the true power of this artillery, and how long its effective range is will also be a mystery to the outside world. The only way to solve this mystery is to act as the Haihan Army on the battlefield. enemies.As for the various artillery currently installed by various countries, it is probably difficult to match this new type of artillery in terms of accuracy. The only question is how lethal the new type of artillery used by this type of artillery will be.
The answer was answered after the soldiers pulled the target back on a flatbed trailer. There were five clearly visible perforations on this target, and the edges were relatively smooth, and there was no obvious fragmentation. It is conceivable that the shell penetrated When aiming at the target, the flying speed was extremely fast, easily piercing through this three-cent thick iron plate like a shattering one.However, when the [-]-pound gun was used to shoot a target of the same material thickness at the same distance, the shell only left a pit on the target, and the difference in power between the two was obvious.
Since the iron target at this distance can be easily penetrated, it has proved that the effective range claimed by Yan Chujie is not a boast. Even if the target is moved further away, it should have the same penetration effect.The officers of each family secretly weighed their existing artillery in their hearts. If they want to hit the opponent at this distance, they basically have to follow the fate, let alone have any precise lethality at all.If he met an opponent equipped with this kind of artillery on the battlefield, plus Shanghai Han's other two big killers, the telescope and the sniper rifle, then his own gun positions and senior officers would probably be called one by one.
Even though Liu Shang didn't know much, but after sitting here for so long and listening to the people around him, he could already realize how terrifying this weapon is in actual combat.Haihan's huge advantages in weapons can undoubtedly dispel the hidden ambitions of other countries in the region to a large extent. Before anyone wants to take action against Haihan, he must first weigh whether he has enough weight to challenge the powerful The Haihan Army.
And the scary thing about Haihan Army is not limited to what everyone knows, what's more terrible, no one can imagine how many secret weapons that haven't been shown in Haihan's arsenal.Is the weapon displayed today already Haihan's entire family property?I'm afraid no one would think so, even Liu Shang felt that Haihan must have some reservations, and that the real weapon of the country might not give the outside world a chance to see his true face.
After showing the results of the artillery shooting, Yan Chujie announced that today's military exercise was over. Later, the guests were invited to board a boat to Weizhou Island near here to rest for one night, and the maritime military exercise will continue tomorrow.Although everyone was slightly disappointed with such an abrupt end to the arrangement, there was a little bit of inexplicable joy in their hearts. This may be because Haihan did not show more new weapons, and finally kept his mind. collapse.
However, the few field artillery displayed just now did attract the attention of most of the guests who were responsible for the military purchase mission. As soon as Yan Chujie finished speaking, several people gathered around to ask him about the sale of related weapons.These people have been dealing with Haihan for a long time, and they all know that this kind of military purchase order is slow, and it is best to place the order in advance so as to get a relatively early delivery date.Even if Haihan still wants to engage in the trick of limited bidding, he must first understand clearly, and then plan how to arrange his own bidding strategy.
This is the first time Liu Shang has seen such a scene. The title of the number one arms dealer in the South China Sea is indeed well-deserved. Haihan artillery is famous for its high price, but so many countries are still flocking to it. It must be that Haihan people have made money from it It's full.Although he didn't recognize anyone, some of them were clearly dressed as Ming gentry, and most of them came from Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang and other places where Haihan had set foot.There are also several blond and blue-eyed Westerners among them. It seems that Haihan's arms are not just sold in the South China Sea.
On such an occasion, Liu Shang's status is humble, so naturally he can't make it through, so he can only wait and see from a distance.But soon Yu Xiaobao called the patrol team to gather, left the practice field and returned to the ship.These arms purchase trade negotiations will involve some international affairs and Haihan's foreign attitude. Yu Xiaobao doesn't want his helpers to pay attention to such information that has nothing to do with the current work.
Liu Shang really wanted to stay and watch the scene of the bargaining between the military officers and Yan Chujie, but he couldn't disobey Yu Xiaobao's order, so he had to follow the team back to the ship honestly.The arrangement of the inspection team was the same as that of others, and they first took a boat to the nearby Weizhou Island to spend the night.
Weizhou Island was included in the jurisdiction of the Central Dynasty in the Han Dynasty. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Weizhou Island immigrated from Leizhou to the island for reclamation, and it was originally under the jurisdiction of Hepu County, Lianzhou. The place under the dual jurisdiction of Leizhou and Lianzhou.But because of this, and because there are no special products on the island, this island, which is only [-] nautical miles away from the coastline of the mainland, quickly became an abandoned place that no one wanted to care about.
When Haihan took over here a few years ago, the Lianzhou government and Leizhou government pretended not to know about the change of sovereignty of Weizhou Island, and they didn't even ask Haihan for an explanation in writing.And the residents on the island did not have much resistance to the arrival of the Haihan people, because before that, the Haihan merchant ships that traveled intensively between Hainan Island and the coast of Guangxi had already hired most of the island residents. Everyone has been to Danzhou and other places with the boat and witnessed the "peaceful and prosperous age" under the rule of the Executive Committee. There are even precedents for changing families and becoming naturalized Haihan.After dealing with and expelling a few recalcitrant landowners, Weizhou Island and the adjacent Xieyang Island were brought under the administration of the Danzhou Administrative Committee and became part of the legal territory of Haihan.
As the largest island near the coast of Guangxi, Weizhou Island does not actually have very good agricultural development value. The traditional industries are fishing and related basic handicrafts such as shipbuilding and net weaving.After Haihan took over here, he did not try to carry out large-scale renovation and development of this place, but only used it as a logistics base for Xieyang Island.Apart from all kinds of shooting ranges and large and small munitions depots on Xieyang Island, there are only barracks for the troops stationed on the island, so Yan Chujie can only arrange for the guests visiting the military exercise to live on Weizhou Island for a while. Night.Although the accommodation conditions on the island are also very average, it is better than floating on the sea for a night.
The living conditions here are far inferior to those of the previous stations visited by the inspection team. Although there is still a lot of seafood on the table, the cooking method is mainly boiled, not as rich as the Haihan dishes eaten in towns. taste.
The amount of information that Liu Shang came into contact with on this day was too great, and he couldn't digest it for a while, which also caused him to have no appetite to enjoy seafood.He really wanted to discuss with Yu Xiaobao and Lu Ting about the weapons he saw today, but at this time the abominable Zhang Qianzhi appeared at the dinner table to have dinner with them, so Liu Shang had no choice but to give up his original idea. Shut up and eat obediently.
Regarding the content of the next day's military exercise, the accompanying officers did not reveal too much information to them, and Liu Shang didn't bother to guess anymore, because he found that Haihan's knowledge was far beyond his imagination, and his military knowledge Not much, guesses are mostly useless guesses.Everything will be revealed tomorrow.
The next day, everyone still got up early and had breakfast, and then went to sea again by boat.Yesterday, all the combat fleets of the military docked at Xieyang Island, so it took some time for the ships that the guests were on board to rejoin the fleet after going out to sea.
Only then did the accompanying officers disclose to them the content of today's exercise, which was to simulate an attack on enemy ships at sea.Liu Shangxin said, with the density of artillery fire that attacked the port yesterday, how many ships in this world can withstand a round of bombardment by this fleet?If you drag a few wooden target boats out to fight, you may call it a day and call it a day.
But the facts proved that Liu Shang was overthinking, what he could think of, Hai Han had already thought of it.The Haihan Navy did not set up target ships at sea, but painted several eye-catching targets on the steep coast of Xieyang Island.At first glance, this seems to be no different from yesterday's attack on Hamburg Fortress, but today's shooting requirements are different. Each ship must complete the firing of naval guns on all targets individually, and the timing is limited, whichever takes the shortest time is excellent.If there is a missed target during the shooting process, the corresponding time will be added to the final timing result as a penalty.
