Chapter 179 It’s rude to come and not return.
Calculating the time, this battalion of Japanese soldiers should be all the Japanese reinforcements that can arrive in Jinan in a short time.
Originally, Qin Long planned to use the high mobility of his troops to create a time difference.
First come here to destroy the Japanese reinforcements from Dezhou, and after the reinforcements from the small and medium-sized counties near Jinan arrive and gather together, you can strike back and gain some points.
However, now with the Type 240 mm self-propelled howitzer, Qin Long naturally does not have to lead his troops back and forth.
After bringing Yang Zhihua to the cockpit, Qin Long casually changed the bound target of the Hero's Character skill to the Type 240 mm self-propelled howitzer.
Then, the artillery observation post that had just reported to him reported the artillery coordinates of Zhangzhuang Airport.
Then, Qin Long taught Yang Zhihua how to operate the Type 240 mm self-propelled howitzer and said to him:
"This is a good thing given to us by the Japanese! It's impolite not to reciprocate, so we should also give a big gift in return, right?"
"You just heard the bombardment coordinates for Zhangzhuang Airport. You will be responsible for bombarding Zhangzhuang Airport from now on."
What? !
Yang Zhihua was completely stunned!
This thing is called a cannon?!
He never dreamed that there would be such a big cannon!
Compared to this thing, the M198 155mm howitzer is just a small rifle!
However, no matter how surprised he was, he also heard what Qin Long had just said.
"Alright! Captain, just wait and see!"
Yang Zhihua rubbed his hands excitedly about being able to operate such a large artillery to attack the enemy, and rushed directly to the operating table!
Because this Type 240 240mm self-propelled howitzer was modified based on the Type mm railway cannon.
Therefore, all the instruments and signs on the operating console are in Japanese.
All I can say is that the God of Cannons is the God of Cannons!
If Yang Zhihua were asked to learn Japanese, he would probably worry until his hair turned white.
But if you ask him to learn how to operate a cannon, Yang Zhihua can learn it in minutes. No matter whether it is Japanese, English or even an alien language, it can't stump him!
So, after getting familiar with the operation process.
In just over half a minute, Yang Zhihua adjusted the firing parameters of this Type 240 mm self-propelled howitzer!
"Everyone, listen up! Immediately, using this place as a base point, advance 5 kilometers towards Dezhou."
Seeing that Yang Zhihua was ready, Qin Long immediately gave orders through the intercom.
Then, there was the sound of a heavy hydraulic press starting up.
The 240-meter-long barrel of the Type 12.823 mm self-propelled howitzer began to slowly rise.
It was not until this time that Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong, Sun Ming and others in Qin Long's team discovered that the huge thing in front of them was actually a cannon!
Looking at the nearly 13-meter-long and frighteningly thick cannon barrel, Chu Yunfei couldn't imagine how powerful a single shot from this thing would be!
Compared to this thing, the artillery battalion of his 358th Regiment is like a joke...
But no matter what, although Chu Yunfei was shocked, at least his mind was not distracted by this huge cannon.
Fang Ligong and Sun Ming were obviously inferior to Chu Yunfei. They looked at the mighty and domineering Type 240 mm self-propelled howitzer in front of them, their bodies stiffened and they couldn't move.
His eyes were fixed on the giant cannon barrel that was being raised, his mind was blank and he was completely depressed...
The other people in Qin Long's team were better, but they were only slightly better than Fang Ligong and Sun Mingqiang...
"Why are you still standing there?!"
Chu Yunfei turned around and saw the state of Fang Ligong and Sun Ming at the moment, and he was immediately furious:
"Didn't you hear what Captain Qin just said?! Hurry and leave! Do you want to be killed by the artillery?!"
After a little thought, Chu Yunfei knew why Qin Long asked them to stay away from here.
Such a huge cannon must make a lot of noise when it fires!
If they didn't run away quickly, they would really be shocked to death on the spot!
Coincidentally, Chu Yunfei's words of scolding Fang Ligong and Sun Ming also drew the attention of Shuisheng, Tiezhu and other people in Qin Long's team.
Everyone immediately obeyed Qin Long's order, jumped into the car and drove towards Dezhou with all the tanks.
Five and a half minutes later.
Shuisheng's voice came from the intercom on Qin Long's waist:
"Captain, we have arrived at the designated location."
"it is good."
Qin Long nodded and then said to Yang Zhihua:
"Reload."
Yang Zhihua immediately pressed a button, and a reinforced 240mm grenade was pushed into the barrel by the automatic loading system in the ammunition chamber.
You should know that the original range of the Type 240 50mm railway cannon was as high as kilometers.
But that was an ordinary shell. What was being pushed into the barrel now was a genuine enhanced ammunition that had been optimized by the system!
100% basic power bonus, the power displayed is at least 4 times the original power.
Although the range will not really quadruple to 4 kilometers due to the limitation of barrel length.
But it is completely fine to double the original range to 2 kilometers.
With the bonus of Qin Long's passive skill Encouragement, that's 150 kilometers.
But don't forget that this Type 240 mm self-propelled howitzer is now bound to Qin Long's Heroic Skill.
The range doubled again, directly becoming 300 kilometers!
What does 300 kilometers mean?!
Let me put it this way, it’s only more than 270 kilometers from Dezhou to Beijing.
Of course, at present, the range of this Type 240 mm self-propelled howitzer cannot be fully utilized.
But the initial velocity of the shell can be fully utilized!
The initial velocity of the Type 240 1050mm railway howitzer's shells reached meters per second.
The bonus of enhanced ammunition directly increases the initial velocity of the shell to 4200 meters per second!
With the 50% bonus of encouragement, the initial velocity is doubled to 8400 meters per second!
Add in the 100% all-round bonus of Heroic Ethos, and it’s meters per second!
Meters per second! Mach 49.4!
Let me put it this way, Dongfeng Express’s maximum speed is 20 Mach.
Now this Type 240 mm self-propelled howitzer has a series of bonuses such as enhanced ammunition, encouragement and heroic qualities.
The initial velocity of the shell is more than twice that of Dongfeng Express!
At this speed, don’t even think about it being a cannonball!
Even if a piece of iron hits Zhangzhuang Airport at this speed, it will definitely cause considerable damage!
"fire!"
Qin Long gave an order and Yang Zhihua pressed the launch button!
"boom!!!"
A loud noise resounded over a dozen kilometers in radius!
A shell with a Mach loop at its tail and accompanied by continuous sonic booms flew towards Zhangzhuang Airport!
At the current speed of artillery shells, it will take at most 3 seconds to hit the heads of the Japanese soldiers 45 kilometers away!
at the same time.
Zhangzhuang Airport.
The Japanese had just restored direct communication between Zhangzhuang Airport and the Japanese headquarters in Beijing.
Inoue Yaomaru, the captain of a Japanese squadron and the highest-ranking Japanese soldier present, reported to Okamura Neiji with a smug look on his face:
"General! We have successfully arrived in Jinan and immediately recaptured Zhangzhuang Airport!"
"吆西!"
This was the only good news that Okamura Neiji heard since the news of the attack on Jinan reached him:
"Where are the enemies? How many casualties have been suffered? Have they been captured alive..."
"Boom!!!"
However, before Okamura Neiji could finish his question, he heard a series of loud beeps coming from the other end of the line...
