Super military empire

Chapter 177

"Crack!" The cannonball slammed into several devices at the bottom of the mortar by gravity, making a slight metallic sound, and then hearing a "bang" sound, the cannonball flew towards the position not far away.

"I just said there is no problem with this, you don't believe it!" Situ Lei despised the timidity of a group of artillery, and then picked up a shell again and stuffed it through the muzzle.

"Boom!" This time the shell did not go out, it exploded directly in the barrel...

"Head..."

Seeing the scene here, the soldier in the distance ran towards the center of the explosion...

Seeing this opportunity, the monkey on the opposing position immediately got out of the incomplete trench and launched a countercharge against this side...

Liu Yijiu learned from the wounded soldiers that many of these mortars would become very hot when they fired five or six rounds. The problem of deformation has begun to appear, and experienced soldiers often stop at this time. , Wait until the barrel has cooled down before continuing.

In this way, the continuity of shelling will form a gap. Monkey soldiers will often take this opportunity to repair fortifications or launch counter-charges. If the guns are used alternately and shelled in turn, this will greatly reduce the density of shelling. There will be no effect at all.The experienced soldiers of the monkey will never hide...

When accidents happen, they are often under severe fighting conditions.In this case, the long-range artillery support will injure the attacking troops, and the only support firepower is mortars and heavy machine guns.

Heavy machine guns are also powerless against the enemy hiding in the fortification because the range that our troops can support is very small.The only thing that can cause damage to enemy fortifications or even wartime is mortars!

But this quality.

After Liu Yijiu learned of these circumstances, he stayed in a tent arranged for him by the Western Front Command. He did not fall asleep because of exhaustion, but kept thinking about the reasons. Cause such a serious quality accident.

The caliber of all the guns is consistent at the beginning, which is no longer a problem of processing quality.

The industrial base of the Republic was established with the help of Lao Maozi. The production of weapons and equipment also adopts their special-line production mode. The production efficiency is relatively high and the production quality is relatively stable.

According to various data and analysis of the situation, there are only two possibilities for barrel deformation. The first is the problem of heat treatment. The hardness of the gun steel material itself is relatively hard because of its high tungsten content. It needs to be processed during processing. Several heat treatments, quenching and tempering, normalizing, and quenching are all in order to make the material organization of the barrel uniform, and to avoid damage to the barrel caused by the high pressure generated when the barrel is ejected, thereby affecting the service life and accuracy of the barrel.

Another problem is the material.

If it is really a material problem, Liu Yijiu can't imagine the consequences.

In this era, the national military production management is actually very chaotic. The original technical standards are not strictly enforced by many people.Many young intellectuals have gone to the mountains and the countryside, and some old technicians and managers in the factory no longer hold power.As for production workers, many are discharged from the army or directly recruited from the countryside...

Once it is really a material problem, the barrels produced from that batch of materials will all be in this situation.

The management is chaotic, the batch numbers of the production furnaces of these materials are not necessarily retained, and the various technical materials of the production process are not necessarily retained...

In this way, the consequences...

"Comrade Xiao Liu, hurry up, the general logistics call, the fifth machine department orders you to take a helicopter to the east front command center! There is a big problem over there!" Liu Yijiu is considering how to deal with these poor quality if it is a material problem. The mortars were tracked down, and many mortars even had a messy factory serial number, and there was no way to track them down.

At this time, Lu Hui opened the curtain of Liu Yijiu's tent with an anxious look.

Liu Yijiu looked at his wrist. It was only 11:30 in the evening.

What happened to the Eastern Front?The weapons of the Ninth Court are not all on the western front. Is there something wrong with your own guns?

"The 82 mortars over there experienced a bombing phenomenon. Situ Lei, the leader of the 368 Tashan Hero Group, died on the spot, and there were many soldiers casualties... The commander of the Eastern Front, General Xu Shiyou, directly called and scolded the headquarters of the aftermarket. The Fifth Machine Department of the aspect has sent someone to fly here overnight, and Minister Liu ordered you to investigate the situation there overnight..." Lu Hui quickly explained the matter.

Liu Yijiu was dumbfounded.

Completely dumbfounded.

This history is fundamentally different from what he has learned.The war on the southwest border started a year and a half earlier. The 368th regiment that hadn't been on the southwest battlefield at all came, and there was also a commander Situ Lei who seemed to have never heard of it, died!Not killed by the enemy, but killed by the artillery produced here!

Situ!

Just this surname reminds Liu Yijiu a lot.This is an ancient family living in seclusion on the land of China. They helped the Red Army greatly before the establishment of the Republic.Some of the more important young people in their family have experienced in the army and local administration...

This is a big deal.

Indeed, many people in the capital are sad.

In Li Yunlong's office, an extremely thin old man with all white hair was sticking a cane, his body stood upright like a javelin, and his face looked at Li Yunlong with iron.

Liu Qingshan, the head of the Fifth Machinery Department, was like a child who had made mistakes, sitting on the side also bowed his head and dared not raise it.

The several old heads of the General Staff also said nothing.

"Situ, we will make every effort to investigate this matter clearly. Don't worry, we have sent people there overnight to understand the situation, and Minister Liu will also rush there overnight..." After a long time, Li Yunlong sighed and looked serious. He said to the thin old man standing upright in a long gown.

"Xiao Lei is the most outstanding young man in our family, and the most powerful in the next generation of family successors. We sent him to your army because we believed in you and the chairman. Now that the chairman is gone, the result will appear. Such a thing! He insisted on asking to go to the front line. This is what he should. As a soldier, it is his mission and duty to defend his home and country! If he died at the enemy’s gun, this is his life. , But he died under the shells we produced ourselves!" The crutches in the hands of Mr. Situ kept hitting the ground, banging loudly, and said sadly!

It is a glorious thing for a man to be a soldier and die on the battlefield.

Because he dedicated everything he has to his motherland!

And Situ Lei's death...

"Check, you must find out who is so bold, and the substandard products produced by military products have been exiled to the battlefield like this!" The old man who had just returned soon heard the news and was also heartbroken.

In the past ten years, domestic production has basically come to a halt, and few places are under construction, but I did not expect that it has caused such an important impact now.

The country is currently brewing some big moves. Without the support of these democrats with huge families abroad, it will be difficult to achieve the goal!What's more, the Situ family has always contributed a lot to the country, and some of the big projects that the country is doing are started by obtaining intelligence through foreign channels!

The top is angry!

Such a thing caught everyone off guard.

On the Western Front, more than a dozen soldiers were sacrificed for this reason, while the Eastern Front directly reimbursed a regiment leader!

If the weapons and equipment in the army are in this situation, how can this battle be fought?

"With regard to our request for the suspension of the offensive, has the General Staff responded?" General Xu Shiyou's face was very ugly.He had ordered the news of this matter to be blocked, but it still spread to all units of the 123rd Division. Many soldiers even threw mortars and asked the superiors to send them a few more grenades.

Because of this incident, the morale of the soldiers of the 123rd Division on the Eastern Front was very low.

"Already agreed. At present, the Fifth Machine Department has sent a technical cadre who will arrive at the front at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning..." Yu Gang sighed, how could such a thing happen?"When Situ Xue knew that her brother had something wrong, she made a big fuss in the hospital, carrying a gun and looking for someone from the logistics office to kill her..."

"Take good care of that girl. Her pungent temperament may cause something...Before the people from the after-installation headquarters come, investigate the situation first. It is best to use which factory to produce it, and the responsibility of the production. People find it!" Xu Shiyou gritted his teeth and said.

Yu Gang nodded, "People in the logistics support department are currently investigating the use of all equipment..."

If this matter cannot be resolved, this battle will basically not go on.

No matter how the blockade is, the news will reach other troops sooner or later.

Bullet jamming, hot barrel deformation, etc. These days, various front-line troops have given feedback, and they have also attracted the attention of the previous point. However, no one expected such a serious quality accident to occur.

Liu Yijiu replaced a helicopter arranged by the Eastern Front on the Eastern Front and arrived at the Eastern Front at Pingxiang. At present, the Eastern Front is mainly concentrated on the Tongdang Frontline in the territory of Monkey.

"Hello, I'm Zhao Bingyi, Director of the Eastern Front Logistics Support Department. Comrades have worked hard along the way." Although I was shocked by the youngness of the two technicians who came from the helicopter and came to investigate, I felt that this was perfunctory by the Fifth Machine Department, Zhao Bingyi said. Nothing was revealed on it.

"Good head!" Liu Yijiu paid a military salute, not paying attention to the dissatisfaction in Zhao Bingyi's eyes.

Nobody feels uncomfortable with such a thing.Even Minister Liu Qingshan can't do anything about it. These cannons should have been produced before he took office!
