Chapter 988 Military enthusiasts are celebrating the New Year

Shi Lao, a military enthusiast, has been browsing military forums since high school.

Now, he can barely be considered a professional military enthusiast. He has a certificate hanging around his neck and is walking around.

Originally, this time should be school time.

However, as a military enthusiast, Shi Lao naturally cannot miss such a grand event as the Zhuhai Air Show. He took a leave of absence for nine days to attend the Zhuhai Air Show.

At this time, Shi Lao came to the gun exhibition area of ​​the China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation.

Shi Lao's eyes were shining. Although he was not tall and his eyes were relatively small, they were shining at this time, very spiritual.

This is the kind of joy from the heart when military enthusiasts see something that interests them and can hit their souls directly.

78-type pistol, 78-type automatic rifle, 78-type sniper rifle, 78-type general-purpose machine gun, 78-type heavy machine gun, 78-type heavy sniper rifle, 78-type howitzer, 78-type sniper howitzer, 78-type anti-aircraft machine gun.

Every gun makes Shi Lao excited.

Although this was exhibited at the last Zhuhai Air Show and it was not the first time, Shi Lao was still very excited to see it again.

After the college entrance examination, Shi Lao chose to apply for Yunnan University.

He wanted to go to Southwest Associated University, but only top students could go to Southwest Associated University, so Shi Lao could only think about it.

As for going to Yunnan University, it was not because Yunnan University was older than other universities, but because the freshmen of Yunnan University would conduct target shooting training during military training.

Shi Lao looked at the introduction in detail again. There were several guns for each type of firearm. There was a small screen at the counter, which played the introduction video of the firearm.

Shi Lao knew each of these guns very well and could recite the public data by heart.

Shi Lao picked up a 78-type pistol and played with it.

He knew that the 78-type pistol was a unified pistol of the Chinese army and was also exported overseas to hundreds of countries in the world. It was a pistol with excellent performance.

What disappointed Shi Lao was that there were no bullets in the magazines of the guns here, and there was no place for target shooting experience.

Each gun was naturally played with.

After visiting the gun area, Shi Lao came to the artillery area booth.

Huaxia Southern Weapon Group is the largest military enterprise in China and one of the only two companies in China that are qualified to export weapons and equipment. The other is Huaxia Northern Weapon Group.

Huaxia Southern Weapon Group and Huaxia Northern Weapon Group both have dozens of military enterprises under their jurisdiction.

And there is no doubt that Huaxia Southern Weapon Group is more powerful.

Each type of cannon is developed by Huaxia Southern Weapon Group itself and is the only one that can be exported.

Although Huaxia Northern Weapon Group can also produce it, it can only be used internally and cannot be exported.

The annual export volume of Huaxia Northern Weapon Group is only a fraction of that of Huaxia Southern Weapon Group.

Shi Lao looked at it in detail. He knew some cannons and had some knowledge of them, but he did not know some cannons.

Mortars of different calibers, the smallest caliber is 40mm, which is very light, and Shi Lao can hold it alone, but he dare not underestimate such a small mortar, because it is a weapon for the army to attack the enemy during combat, and soldiers can run easily on their shoulders on the battlefield.

As for the largest caliber 240mm mortar, it is even more of a weapon of war. With one shot, the entire building will be destroyed. It is an essential artifact for urban assault.

In the video, the 240mm mortar fired once, and the body of the vehicle shook, leaving no doubt that it was such a mortar that could destroy a city.

Cannons of different calibers and different categories are very exciting to watch.

In the past, cannons were hailed as the god of war!

More than 70% of casualties on the battlefields of World War II were caused by artillery.

There is a widely circulated story in the military forum that once a Soviet 203mm artillery shell fell squarely in the rest area of ​​a German battalion. After a loud bang, the battalion was directly eliminated! Eliminated! Established! Disbanded!

The large screen displayed in the artillery area showed a live-fire shooting training of a certain artillery regiment across the day and night. Multiple strike groups composed of various new rockets and howitzers were fully fired, which was extremely shocking.

Under the attack of such an artillery regiment, an infantry regiment would probably be written off soon.

Shi Lao was excited.

He felt the strength of the motherland, the development of China's military industry and the rapid improvement of national defense construction.

That kind of national pride burst out from the heart.

The more he knew about China's military industry and China's military strength, the more proud Shi Lao felt.

He always believed that China was not inferior to others, China would definitely stand at the top of the world, and the Chinese nation would definitely return to its rightful place in the world.

When we came to the tank and armored vehicle exhibition area, the core was the Type 80 main battle tank, which is the world's number one main battle tank and the king of the battlefield. It has performed very well in all previous wars, with strong mobility, strong firepower, and strong armor protection capabilities. In the small screen of the introduction, a Type 80 tank battalion was galloping on the grassland, with the roar of the powerful engine and the shooting of the tanks, which made Shi Lao's blood boil.

In this exhibition area, there are more than 20 tanks and armored vehicles, including the Type 81 medium tank, the Type 81 light tank, the Type 81 amphibious tank, the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, and the Type 81 self-propelled mortar, which made Shi Lao's heart burn.

At the first Zhuhai Air Show, China Southern Ordnance Group did not have a gun area or a tank armored area, but this time it did.

Shi Lao's favorite is the 1984 North China military exercise and the 1989 40th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China military parade. Every time he watched it, his blood boiled.

He even bought a DVD disc and watched it from time to time.

Shi Lao couldn't help but touch the armor of the Type 80 main battle tank. The cold metal texture was so real. He was very sure that this was a magic weapon used by the Chinese soldiers to defend the motherland and the people. Any jackals and tigers who dared to peek at China would inevitably be hit by the Type 80 main battle tank.

Shi Lao carefully looked at the introduction of each tank and armored vehicle. He kept picking up the camera and taking pictures.

At the Zhuhai Air Show, some places were not allowed to take pictures, but some were allowed to take pictures.

The exhibition area of ​​China Southern Ordnance Group allowed taking pictures.

These weapons have been around for more than ten years and no longer need to be kept at a very high level of confidentiality. There is no problem taking pictures during the exhibition.

Shi Lao even took a magazine, which he could not see or buy outside.

But there is no doubt that these magazines are very valuable. For a military enthusiast like him, these magazines are even worth spending a month's living expenses to buy one magazine.

Putting a dozen magazines into his bag, thanking the staff, and listening to the radio reminding tourists that the closing time is coming, Shi Lao realized that it was already evening!

Zhuhai Air Show starts at 9 am every day and closes at 9 pm.

Open for 12 hours a day!

Even so, many people still make suggestions, suggesting that the opening time be set at 8 am and then closed at 10 pm.

After all, 10 hours a day is too little!
