 Zhang Dabiao stood up and shouted loudly: "Comrades, did Squad Leader Wang say it well?"

"Okay!"

"Do you want to watch the live ammunition teaching?"

"Think!" the comrades responded to the battalion commander's question in unison.

Zhang Dabiao saw that the atmosphere in the classroom was rising, and immediately gave the command: "Everyone! Stand up!"

"With companies as units, each company commander will form a team and lead them to the shooting area of ​​the shooting range." After Zhang Dabiao gave the order, he quickly walked towards Wang Chengzhu.

Under the leadership of their respective company cadres, the soldier trainees went to the live ammunition shooting area of ​​the shooting range, and the artillery squad soldiers continued to undertake the transportation task. Accompanied by Wang Chengzhu, Zhang Dabiao picked up the FM92SW spike cannon that was used as an example at the end of the theoretical class.

Walking towards the shooting range while laughing.

After Wang Chengzhu rushed to the shooting range, he asked the artillery squad soldiers to pile up the training equipment in the temporary ammunition pit.

Find soldiers who are familiar with the site, recruit a handful of bamboo chips covered with yellow paper, and prepare to explain safe operation knowledge to the student soldiers.

Finding a pit where the artillery had been trained before, Wang Chengzhu placed small yellow paper flags around the artillery position while giving a lesson to the soldiers not far away: "Comrades, before starting the actual operation, let me say it again.

Precautions for safe operation. It is related to the life safety of student gunners and surrounding comrades. Please always pay attention and remind each other.

"When artillery is used, there is a safe shooting range similar to that of rifles. It is 180 degrees in front of the muzzle, and there should be no comrades on our side at any time; it is 120 degrees behind the muzzle, because the cold gun explodes the chamber.

and recoil impact, a safe distance of ten meters should be maintained; the 30-degree angle between the left and right sides of the muzzle is a safe operating position for the main gunner to adjust the shooting height and elevation, as well as for the second gun to retest and calibrate and supply ammunition to the main gunner.

.

"The mortar squad does not have enough live ammunition for firing during normal training, so it mainly does two things. The first and second gunners measure and re-measure the range, and calculate the appropriate launch angle within the effective range of the artillery shells; the third and fourth gunners dig a pit.

Whether the pit is dug well or not has a great impact on the firing accuracy of the gun barrel and the safety of the gunner.

"This plate supports the bottom of the gun barrel. When a shell is fired, high-temperature compressed gas will be generated in the barrel to push the mortar shell to fly out. The recoil force of the barrel is transmitted to the ground through the seat plate. If the seat plate does not fit well with the ground,

Completely, there may be a dangerous situation in which the gun body will bounce back and injure the gunner and other comrades.

"The following is my personal summary and the precautions for this new weapon." After Wang Chengzhu planted the small yellow paper flag, he took the engineering shovel from an artillery squad soldier beside him, dug out the pit that was backfilled with soil, and continued.

Said, "This FM92 spike cannon is a disposable product, with only a pair of two-legged brackets to assist in supporting the barrel.

"Normally aiming and firing depends entirely on the elevation angle adjusted after the barrel tail is buried in the soil. The mother bomb has a fixed flight distance of 200 meters. After reaching the destination, it will release six high-explosive spike bombs, causing area-wide damage to ground targets."
Wang Chengzhu dug the hole and opened a pair of oil paper bags with FM92 written on them. He first took out the two-leg bracket and inserted it on the ground in front of the gun position, and then buried the tail of the gun barrel in the dug hole.

Wang Chengzhu squatted straight, raised his right thumb, and used the eye jump method to aim at a 150-meter chest target in front of him.

Quickly calculate the distance mentally and loudly announce the target distance of 170 meters. Then adjust the firing angle of the gun barrel inserted in the pit and pull the trigger of the handle.

Just hearing the sound of "boom", a cannonball flew out of the barrel and flew towards the target target.
