Chapter 2114 Using a Flashlight

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Qin Baoshan smiled and said his answer: "We use flashlights."

    It was not Qin Baoshan's invention to use the flashlight to calibrate the artillery, but it was a thing that the frontline troops often did in the time and space where Qin Baoshan was originally located.  It's just that what they calibrated was not this kind of machine gun, but a tank gun.

    Tank guns need to be calibrated frequently, and shells need to be fired every time it is calibrated. This is too wasteful. After all, a shell can cost tens of thousands, and the barrel life of tank guns is limited. Because the chamber pressure is too high, it costs hundreds of  The gun barrel is worn out.  It would be a waste to spend all the precious life of a tank gun on calibration.

    Therefore, the technicians came up with various methods, some of which fixed a machine gun in the barrel.  When calibration is needed, fire with this machine gun, shoot the bullet out of the barrel, and make corrections based on the impact point of the machine gun bullet.  In this way, it is avoided to shoot shells. After all, machine gun bullets are very cheap, but this method also has disadvantages, because machine gun bullets and artillery shells have different ballistics after all.

    In addition to this method, in order to quickly calibrate the gun, some people have come up with a simpler method.  There is no need to use the machine gun, just fix a flashlight directly inside the barrel.  The light emitted by the flashlight is a straight line, which is different from the ballistic of the shell, but if you know the point where the line hits, you can also know the expected impact point of the shell, so you can make corrections.

    In the surprised eyes of all the technicians, Qin Baoshan began to show his new unique skill. He picked up the flashlight and fixed it in the barrel of the machine gun.  Then open the door of the hangar and adjust the position so that the beam of light from the flashlight hits the opposite wall.  At this time, the sun had turned to the back of the mountain, so the light here began to get worse, and the light of the flashlight could still be seen clearly.  According to the light of this flashlight, Qin Baoshan began to adjust.

    The Americans who work here already know that the Chinese are very smart.  They have seen the results of many kinds of local methods.  Although the accuracy may not be as high as their regular method, it is very simple, and it is very convenient to operate on the battlefield. They are very amazed, and this time Qin Baoshan will show them a hand, which surprised them again.

    In this way, Qin Baoshan completed the calibration of the three machine guns in his own way, and it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon.  Watching the sun gradually slant down, Qin Baoshan said: "Let's eat quickly, after we finish eating, we should prepare and set off."

    Hearing what Qin Baoshan said, Cochran was very excited: "Qin, do you want to go with us?"

    Qin Baoshan nodded: "Yes, I plan to go with you this time."

    "But didn't you say that your status is very important, so if you go out to fight, you must be approved by the higher authorities?" Cochrane asked.

    Her words made Qin Baoshan a little embarrassed.  Although what Qin Baoshan said was correct, when he told Cochrane, it was just an excuse. It was not up to him to decide whether to go or not. The legs grew on his body.  He didn't expect Cochran to ask this question now, and he didn't know if he was doing it on purpose.

    Qin Baoshan glanced at her meaningfully, and then said: "This time I am not going out to fight, I am testing the plane with you."

    Hearing what Qin Baoshan said, Cochrane opened her eyes wide. Of course she knew what Qin Baoshan meant by saying this. This Qin Baoshan was clearly lying!  How could he not know that he went out to fight this time?  They just want to fight at the No. 2 US base in the Jinsui Army-controlled area.  Now it is said that many devil soldiers are rushing there.  The vanguard of the Eighth Route Army has already gone to help.  This time they used to fight, but according to Qin Baoshan, it turned into a test plane?

    Cochran wanted to refute subconsciously, but he understood after following her.  Qin Baoshan can only use this excuse to argue with his superiors. If the superiors want to hold him accountable, he said that he did not participate in the battle and that he just wanted to test the plane.  In the middle of the battle, if you encounter a battle, then turn the test into an actual combat.

    "Qin, you are a cunning person, just like a fox." Thinking of this, Cochran couldn't help but sigh.

    Hearing Cochran's words, Qin Baoshan touched his nose again: "Are you complimenting me or scolding me when you say that?"

    Cochrane smiled: "You guess."

    Sure enough, this woman had more contact with Qin Baoshan, and she also learned Qin Baoshan's way of thinking.  Of course, Qin Baoshan didn't pay special attention to the answer to this question.  Now that Cochrane is teasing Qin Baoshan, then Qin Baoshan?? can only ignore her.  Qin Baoshan changed the subject: "Now let's eat quickly."

    The meals here are, of course, the meals of the U.S. military.  Since the Americans came here, they have greatly improved the food of the Eighth Route Army.  The Eighth Route Army guarding here basically has meat in every meal.  American food is even better, they have always been very exclusive of canned meat.  After all, this kind of canned lunch meat tastes like meat, but it's actually some starch.  They are very dissatisfied with this kind of thing, so in order to comfort them, the food provided by the US logistics is even better.

    As for the pilots, the treatment is even higher.

    Arriving at the restaurant specially prepared for Americans, Qin Baoshan was lucky enough to eat their pilot meal.  Pilot meal is much better than ordinary ground meal.  This is a form of self-service, you can take what you eat, although in the inland areas, you can see fresh prawns.  But Qin Baoshan doesn't pick and choose, and eats whatever he has.  Soon, he piled up all his dinner plates.

    Seeing Qin Baoshan eating so much food, Cochran felt a little funny again.  You eat so much, is it because you are afraid that you will not be able to eat in the future?  But this sentence only existed in her mind for a moment. After all, such words were unlucky, and Cochran didn't want to talk nonsense.

    After the meal, the sky was slowly getting dark.  Everyone is also ready to go.  Cochran was a pilot who did his part, and several other Americans also served as crew members, but the three cannons at the back were replaced by personnel from the Eighth Route Army.  The 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun with the largest diameter.  Qin Baoshan specially transferred Wang Xikui to operate it.  After all, this gun is mainly fired with a single shot, at most two or three shots together, and five shots will empty the clip, and the sustaining ability is poor. Only the best gunners can exert the greatest value.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
