Chapter 199: That’s ridiculous! Is this a lie?!
The behemoth Type 240 mm self-propelled howitzer coming towards us is so oppressive!
Bai Ruxu has participated in the revolution since the Red Army period and has become the commander-in-chief of logistics until now.
What kind of scene has he not seen?! What powerful weapon has he not learned about?!
But even Bai Ruxu felt a chill on his back when he saw the Type 240 mm howitzer slowly approaching!
The key is that this thing is too big!
The front of the car is 10 meters wide and the body is 5 meters high!
This is after the nearly 13-meter-long gun barrel is laid flat!
No matter who sees it, they will feel terrified!
"Comrade Qin Long, what is this?"
Zhang Wanhe, feeling his throat was a little dry, asked in surprise.
"Oh, this is what I captured from the Japanese."
Qin Long calmly introduced:
"It seems to be called something like the Type 240 240mm Railway Cannon, but since it's in our hands, I've changed its name to the Type mm Self-Propelled Howitzer."
Bai Ruxu nodded in admiration:
"Type 240 mm self-propelled howitzer, what a good name!"
"I've heard of the Type 240 mm railway cannon, but isn't that a railway gun? How can it be tracked like this?"
As for Bai Ruxu's question, Qin Long naturally "knew nothing":
"I don't know, but that's what it looked like when I seized it."
"I researched it and found out I could drive it around, so I brought it back."
"240mm caliber! Comrade Qin Long, this gun's range..."
After the Type 240 mm self-propelled howitzer stopped, Bai Ruxu walked forward and touched its body, just about to ask about the range of the gun.
Then I heard Lao Li running over from a distance and shouting:
"Captain Qin! You are so amazing!"
"A telegram from above says that all the mobile forces of the Japanese North China Front Army are frantically rushing to support Beijing!"
"You really did it! You destroyed the Japanese North China Front's headquarters with one shot!"
Running all the way to the Type 240 mm self-propelled howitzer, Lao Li asked Qin Long excitedly:
"Captain Qin, this is the cannon you captured, right?"
"300 kilometers! I can't even imagine it! A cannon can fire 300 kilometers!"
"Wait a minute!"
Bai Ruxu and Zhang Wanhe were completely stunned after hearing Lao Li say that the Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters was bombarded.
I finally came to my senses now!
So Bai Ruxu asked directly:
"Old Li, what do you mean by bombarding the Japanese North China Front Headquarters? What about 300 kilometers? What the hell is going on? Explain it to me!"
"Captain Qin, you should talk to the commander yourself."
But Old Li did not respond to Bai Ruxu's words, but spoke to Qin Long.
Qin Long was a little confused. The leader was asking you, what did you want me to say?
He didn't know that Old Li was aware of the father-daughter relationship between Bai Ruxu and Bai Lu.
He had also heard about the relationship between Qin Long and Bai Lu. After all, it was an open secret in Shitou Village.
Only the two parties involved thought they had concealed this matter so well...
That's why Lao Li decided to give this good opportunity to show himself to Qin Long.
Qin Long, who was completely unaware of this, thought that Lao Li was asking him to show off in front of the leader, so he nodded and said to Bai Ruxu:
"Commander, it's like this. My primary mission this time is actually to go to Texas and kill the Japanese bomb expert Taro Ishii, but..."
Soon, Qin Long gave a brief account of his trip to Jinan and Dezhou, and the final bombardment of the Japanese North China Front Headquarters with the Type 240 mm self-propelled howitzer.
After he finished speaking, Yang Zhihua, Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong and Sun Ming, who came out of the cockpit of the Type 240 mm self-propelled howitzer, also came to the crowd at the entrance of Shitou Village.
The only people present were Yang Zhihua and Chu Yunfei, who had personally experienced this incident.
Everyone else felt like they were listening to a legend and it didn't feel real at all!
Especially Bai Ruxu!
As someone who was familiar with the equipment of countries around the world, he almost jumped up and shouted, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
After all, as far as he knew, the longest-range artillery piece in the world was the Gustav railway gun made by the failed art student!
But even the Gustav railway gun can only fire at a maximum range of 47 kilometers!
And the most important thing is that the caliber of the Gustav railway gun is 800mm!
How could this self-propelled howitzer, renamed by Qin Long, with a caliber of only 240mm, possibly have a range of 300 kilometers?!
This is not scientific at all!
This is ridiculous! Is this a scam?!
"Comrade Qin Long! Can this Type 240 300mm self-propelled howitzer really fire at a range of kilometers?!"
Bai Ruxu asked Qin Long again in disbelief.
Qin Long nodded and said:
"Using normal ammunition, the maximum range of this gun is only 50 kilometers."
"But the Japanese helped me a lot this time. The latest achievement developed by Taro Ishii is a reinforced artillery shell."
"When using enhanced shells, the range of this gun can indeed reach 300 kilometers."
Although Qin Long has explained it very clearly.
But except for Yang Zhihua, Chu Yunfei and even Old Li, everyone present still didn't dare to believe that a cannon could fire 300 kilometers!
"Comrade Qin Long, how do you know that this cannon, when used with that type of enhanced ammunition, will..."
Bai Ruxu originally wanted to ask more details, but saw Qin Long suddenly yawn.
So he could only suppress the doubts in his heart and said:
"Comrade Qin Long, it's getting late. I see you're tired too. Go to bed early. We can talk about it tomorrow."
"Okay, then you should get some rest early, Chief."
Qin Long nodded and said to Yang Zhihua:
"Tell the comrades that we can discuss anything tomorrow. Let them go and rest first."
After saying that, Qin Long yawned and walked towards the room where he would sleep.
at the same time.
A courtyard of a Longguo citizen temporarily requisitioned by the Japanese in Beijing.
In the main room on the north side, Okamura Neiji was shirtless, staring blankly at the short sword on the rack in front of him, looking extremely depressed.
Okamura Yasuji just hung his head, not knowing what he was thinking about.
After a long time, it took the dagger from the knife holder, pulled out the blade, held the handle with both hands and pointed it at its abdomen.
Think about it, during this period of time, under its command, the North China Front Army couldn't even catch up with that ghost army!
Even the headquarters of their North China Front Army was bombarded! But they didn't even know the unit's number!
Faced with this great humiliation and the losses caused by his command mistakes, Okamura Yasuji felt that the only way to atone for his sins was to commit suicide by seppuku.
Thinking of this, Okamura Neiji made up his mind!
The dagger in his hand suddenly stabbed into its abdomen!
"General! No!"
But at this moment, Mayu Shinzo pushed open the door and rushed in:
"It's the military's call! General! It's the military's call! I want you to answer it yourself!"
But Okamura Neiji ignored it...
Silent all night.
The next morning, Qin Long had just gotten out of bed when Dashan rushed into the room where he was sleeping:
"Captain! The guys we rescued from the basement of the Texas Japanese spy agency have woken up. One of them wants to see you. He says he has important information!"
