"But this thing has much stronger sustained firepower. It's already quite powerful."

"There shouldn't be any problem with building the civil engineering structure, right?"

"Report to the chief, no problem."

"Ordinary civil engineering machine gun fortifications can be destroyed with one or two rounds at most."

"Two shots? That's pretty accurate..."

Liu Hongyi said truthfully, "Commander, the accuracy is only average. The main issue is the strong recoil... Of course, after intensive training, I should be able to achieve good accuracy."

A brand new design created from scratch cannot be perfect and must be continuously improved.

"Okay, hurry up and fire a few rounds for us to see."

Soon, the shooting range was set up.

The staff drew a target on a slope four hundred meters away.

A sturdy man in his thirties walked up to the gun position and lay down behind the grenade launcher.

The first test firing was conducted using a bipod in a light state.

To ensure safety, the leaders were asked to go into the breastwork shelter more than ten meters away and raise their binoculars.

"Get ready, let go!"

As the on-site commander waved the red triangular flag, the cannon rang out with a "bang," the sturdy gun tester jerked violently, and a cloud of smoke belched from the muzzle. About two or three seconds later, a "boom" exploded at the target 400 meters away, sending smoke and flames flying everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, there were a few more "bang bang bang" sounds, and after a moment, the six grenades in the drum magazine were used up, and most of them hit the target.

Of course, the impact spread is still a bit large.

"Young man, what did you say was the initial velocity of this gun?"

Commander Yu asked with interest.

"170 meters per second."

"Yeah, it's a little slow. But it's acceptable to reduce the recoil."

"continue!"

"Yes!"

The second round of testing was to attack temporary field fortifications built with sacks filled with sand and soil.

Behind the fortifications, some dummies were placed to test the lethality of the shells.

It is still a drum magazine with 6 grenades.

The first three shots were direct fire.

A hole was torn in the piled sandbags, but because the sandbags absorbed a lot of kinetic energy and blast fragments, the damage to the dummies behind the fortifications was not ideal.

Tan Dexi immediately said, "Adjust the launch angle, curved fire mode, parabolic attack."

The gun tester agreed loudly and then adjusted the firing angle.

With three "bang bang bang" sounds, three grenades flew over the field fortifications in a parabolic form and fell accurately into the trench.

After the loud noise, the test results showed that the killing effect was greatly increased. The dummies hiding behind the field fortifications were injured to varying degrees, and the impact was very ideal.

"Alright, this is almost as powerful as a grenade launcher, and it can fire continuously. The firepower density is much higher than that of a grenade launcher."

Commander Yu praised it highly.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Commander Yu and his comrades suffered a lot from the Japanese grenade launchers. Many machine gun positions were destroyed by the Japanese grenade launchers.

Commander Dong also nodded frequently, expressing his approval of this new weapon.

In the third round of testing, armor-piercing and high-explosive projectiles were used.

Three hundred meters away, a thick homogeneous steel armor plate was erected.

The thickness is 35 mm.

Although the armor-piercing thickness could reach 50 mm during the first test, it was reasonable to slightly reduce the thickness of the armor plate in order to ensure the success rate when testing in front of the leader.

Using 50mm armor plates, it would be embarrassing if it failed to penetrate.

Liu Hongyi's original intention in designing this weapon was mainly for the war on the southern front more than two years later. The main battlefields were jungle warfare and urban fighting, and there were few opportunities to fight against Monkey Kingdom armored vehicles.

Can steel doors be installed in those shabby houses in the cities of Anlang Country?

The grenade hits the target with one shot!

In case you encounter a monkey tank, you still have 40 rounds.

Besides, the 35mm howitzer cannot penetrate the front armor of the Monkey Tank, but it is very effective to hit its tracks from the side.
