Chapter 297 Fire
"I have good news to announce to everyone. Fu Weihao and I have just completed the inspection of all the tanks. The results are very good, there is no problem at all." Song Cenyue crawled out of the tank and announced to everyone outside the tank with a smile on his face.
Because it was the front half of an old tank connected to the back half of a newly built tank, there were complex situations where the old systems and instruments were connected to the new systems and instruments, so the inspection took a lot of time. Looking at the sun outside the window, it was not until evening that all the inspections were completed. Fortunately, the results were good, without any problems.
"Great!"
"Great!"
Everyone cheered, Qian Jingdong was the happiest and cheered the loudest.
"Chief of Staff Qian, congratulations. You can get into the tank now and drive it to the military sub-district." Song Cenyue looked at Qian Jingdong and smiled sweetly at him.
Qian Jingdong was so happy that his face was wide open and his mouth was stretched to his ears. "Okay, I'll get in the tank right away."
"Wait for me, I'll come out first, you come in later." Song Cenyue said to Qian Jingdong, then climbed out of the tank, walked to the members of the tank team, and said to them yearningly: "The tank has been inspected and there are no problems. The tank will leave soon. I would like to thank everyone again for your efforts and help during this period. Thank you...
Thanks to you, the tank was built so smoothly and perfectly without any problems. Thank you so much!
I hope your future work and life will be smooth, you will be healthy, your family will be harmonious, and everything will go well! "
She would naturally follow Qian Jingdong and his men to the military sub-district in a tank, and then conduct live artillery fire. If there were no problems, she would leave with her boyfriend tomorrow and return to his regiment, because she had to go back to the production team to pack up her things and deal with the house.
She was saying goodbye to the team leader and the others. Time was tight. She didn't come back to say goodbye to the people from the tractor factory before she and her partner left, so she was saying goodbye to them now.
When the members of the tank team heard Song Cenyue's final blessing and knew that she was saying goodbye to them, they were reluctant to let her go. Some of them were even a little sad, except Liu Tiexi.
Because Liu Tiexi was determined to go with Song Cenyue to join Fu Weihao's group, he would continue to follow Song Cenyue and would not be separated from him or never see him again, so he did not feel any reluctance or sadness at all.
Song Cenyue spoke a few more words to the members of the tank team, who also gave her their blessings as a farewell. After saying goodbye to them, Song Cenyue returned to the tank and drove away with Fu Weihao.
Before leaving, Qian Jingdong remembered that he had said before that he would give bonuses to everyone in the tank team after the tank was built. He quickly stuck his head out of the tank and said to the tank team, "I will come again tomorrow morning, and I will bring the bonuses I promised you before to give you the bonuses."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the tank team was very happy, including Liu Tiexi. There were a lot of bonuses to be won, so who wouldn't be happy?
When the tank left the tractor factory and drove onto the street, passers-by who saw it were all amazed. Some were afraid, some were curious, some were excited, and some were brave enough to chase after the tank to watch.
Because there were very few vehicles at that time, the tanks moved forward smoothly along the way without encountering traffic jams, and successfully entered the military sub-district.
When the people in the military sub-district saw the tanks, they were very happy and excited, shouting that the tanks were ready and they finally had tanks.
Zheng Qingming, who had just returned to his office and sat down, heard cheers outside. He quickly stood up and went to the window to look. He was overjoyed to see the tank. He was as happy and excited as the soldiers cheering below. He ran out of the office excitedly immediately because he wanted to go and see the tank.
"Commander Zheng is here!" Song Cenyue, who was sitting in the tank, was the first to notice Zheng Qingming coming towards them.
"Look at our commander's expression, he's so happy!" When Qian Jingdong heard Song Cenyue's words, he also noticed Zheng Qingming and smiled.
"Don't laugh at Uncle Zheng. Find a mirror and look at yourself. Your expression is more exaggerated than his." Fu Weihao complained.
Fu Weihao and Song Cenyue drove the tank in front of Zheng Qingming and stopped. Song Cenyue opened the tank's exit, stuck her head out and invited Zheng Qingming with a smile: "Uncle Zheng, do you want to come in and experience it?"
She didn't know if he had ever ridden in a tank before. Although the tank was very crowded and not comfortable to sit in, she thought he would like to get in the tank and sit in the first tank of their military sub-district.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zheng Qingming nodded vigorously with a smile, and he immediately climbed into the tank. Although he was old, he was still very agile, so climbing into the tank was not difficult at all.
This was not the first time that Zheng Qingming had been in a tank. He had ridden in tanks before, but this tank was completely different from the ones he had ridden before. This tank belonged to their military sub-district, it was their own, so naturally the feeling was very different from before. He thought everything about it was good and was full of praise.
After Zheng Qingming asked Fu Weihao and Song Cenyue to drive the tank and take him around the military sub-district for several circles, he asked Fu Weihao and Song Cenyue to drive the tank to the mountains behind the military sub-district.
The mountains behind the military sub-district are specially used for military exercises. He was very satisfied with the speed of the tanks running on flat ground. Now he wanted to see how maneuverable the tanks were in the mountains. The results were very good. There was no problem crossing deep ditches, which made him very satisfied.
"Now we can fire real cannons to see how good our shooting ability is." Zheng Qingming said.
Zheng Qingming asked Fu Weihao and Song Cenyue to drive to the place where the artillery shells were placed, load the tank shells that had been transported earlier, and then return to the mountain artillery bombardment used in the previous exercise. At the same time, two vehicles of soldiers from the military sub-district went with them to the mountain. They were responsible for assisting in this artillery bombardment.
Zheng Qingming wanted to shoot from near to far, starting from near and finally shooting from far away, to see how accurate he was and how big the difference was.
The firing distance of the first shot was 500 meters. The soldiers who followed first accurately measured 1,000 meters and drew a red circle at the target.
"Fire." After Zheng Qingming and the soldiers below drew a red circle, he gave the order to fire.
"Boom--" Song Cenyue, who acted as the shooter, immediately fired the first shot.
Soon the soldiers below reported that they had hit the target with 100% accuracy.
Everyone was very happy, Zheng Qingming and Qian Jingdong were the happiest. Zheng Qingming immediately set the target for the second shot, which was to be fired one thousand meters away.
The soldiers below immediately prepared and found the target one thousand meters away. After reporting it to Zheng Qingming and his men, Zheng Qingming ordered the artillery to fire again. This time they also hit the target successfully with 100% accuracy. Zheng Qingming and his men were very satisfied.
Zheng Qingming then set the target at two kilometers, and he successfully hit the two thousand meter target. However, the accuracy was not as high as before, and there was an error, but it was not large. Zheng Qingming and the others thought that for this distance, an error was normal, and this accuracy rate was acceptable.
Zheng Qingming was satisfied and gave another order, ordering the next shot to be fired ten kilometers away. Ten kilometers was quite far, and after the shot was fired, the accuracy rate dropped again, this time to 85%, but this was still acceptable, and Zheng Qingming said he could accept it.
He then gave the order to fire fifteen kilometers away, and he told Song Cenyue that this was the last shot.
At that time, the tanks could fire at a maximum range of more than 30 kilometers, but they would not fire that far on the battlefield. Most of them could only fire at a maximum range of more than 10 kilometers, so the last shot only needed to be tested at a distance of 15 kilometers.
After everything was ready, Song Cenyue fired the artillery shell again with a range of 15 kilometers. The result was that the deviation was even greater, but the accuracy rate was 81%.
"For shooting more than ten kilometers away, this accuracy rate is not bad, it's pretty good. I think this tank has met the standard in shooting! Judging from the data reported by your soldiers earlier, its firepower is also very good, with amazing power!" Song Cenyue said to Zheng Qingming and Qian Jingdong.
Zheng Qingming and Qian Jingdong nodded together, both showing satisfied smiles. "Yeah!"
"I am very satisfied with this tank, I think it is great! Comrade Xiao Song, thank you so much for building such a great tank for us! You have worked so hard! You are a great contributor to our military sub-district! I would like to thank you on behalf of our entire military sub-district!" Zheng Qingming stretched out his hand to Song Cenyue and said with gratitude.
Song Cenyue immediately extended her hand and shook hands with him, said some polite words, and then said a lot of words praising her.
After she shook hands with Zheng Qingming, Qian Jingdong also extended his hand to her and said many words of thanks and praise to her.
Fu Weihao, who was standing by, looked at his girlfriend shaking hands with Zheng Qingming and Qian Jingdong and being praised to the sky by them. He had a smile on his face and felt very proud inside.
His girlfriend is awesome! It makes me feel proud! It feels so glorious!
