Chapter 204 Preparation before gun test

As soon as the call was connected, before Wei Ran could speak, Professor Alexei on the other side asked in a stern voice, "Where have you been these past few days? I can't even get through the phone. There's a guy over there in the studio called Ralph's Germans have been waiting for you."

"I've already sent him away." Wei Ran spoke a little faster and got back to the topic, "Professor, can you help me get some shells. "

"Cannonballs? What kind of shells do you want?" Upon hearing this, Professor Alexei immediately forgot about Wei Ran's disappearance for more than half a month.

"The 20mm Solothurn long bullet for the flak30 anti-aircraft gun"

Weiyan used the excuse he had thought up on the way and said, "I have a customer who accidentally got a Flak30 anti-aircraft gun, I want to buy some shells to test fire. I think there may be opportunities to cooperate with him in the future, so I want to help him."

"Flak30? This kind of ammunition is easy to find. How much do you want? ?”

Professor Alexei lost interest immediately after hearing this. He has touched more such anti-aircraft guns than the women he has touched, and they are no longer available to him. Any attraction.

"Twenty rounds of armor-piercing bombs, 20 rounds of high-explosive bombs, 20 rounds of tracer bullets and 20 rounds of incendiary bombs are enough."

Weiran quickly reported the required quantity, and then So it is 20 rounds per unit, all because the magazine used by the FLAK30 anti-aircraft gun, which also uses this kind of ammunition, has a capacity of 20 rounds. What is even more outrageous is that this 20-round capacity magazine is still the same as our own. That little cannon is completely versatile.

As for why there are so many, it is naturally to confuse the audience. After all, although 80 rounds of artillery shells is a lot, for an anti-aircraft anti-aircraft gun, excluding the time of changing the magazine, it can be completed in less than a minute. It is a normal usage no matter how you look at it.

As expected, Professor Alexei readily agreed without any doubts at all, and promised that it would be delivered within half an hour at most.

After hanging up the phone, Wei Ran didn't put down his phone at all. After buying a ticket to Inta, he dialed Jima's number directly.

"Are you still in Yinta?" Weiran asked after waiting for the call to be connected.

"Just sent off a group of tourists to board the plane"

There was a hint of exhaustion and undisguised excitement in Jima's tone, "However, there will be no more Within 24 hours, another group of tourists came, so I should be in Inta at least until the next class."

"Let's make a long story short"

Wei Ran closes. "Prepare a set of camping supplies for me, and ask Alili if he can help me arrange an An-2 the day after tomorrow, and help me find a quiet place east of the Ural Mountains."

"What happened?" Ji Ma asked nervously, "Are you committing a crime and preparing to run away? I will make arrangements now. Where are you now? I will pick you up..."

< p> "Stop!" Wei Ran wanted to slap himself,"How could I run away if I didn't kill anyone or rob a bank?"

"Then you...were you full?" Jima's Russian sentence also included an unexpected sentence of running away. Tone Chinese. No need to guess, I must have learned it from Wei Ran.

"I plan to give myself special training in outdoor survival before the next class," Weiran said nonsensically, "After all, I am not a hunter like you and have rich outdoor survival experience. "

"Just you?"

Jima reminded cautiously, "How about I go with you? The wild is not as safe as you think, let alone There are food everywhere in those videos on the Internet."

"No, I can do it by myself."

Wei Ran quickly refused. He just wanted to find some peace and quiet. He secretly went to a place to test cannons, so what's going on with Ji Ma?

"When will you come over?" Ji Ma finally asked simply.

Wei Ran breathed a sigh of relief, "My flight tonight will probably make it to Inta early tomorrow morning." Ali and I will wait for you at the airport. See you tomorrow, Victor."

"It's hard work"

Wei Ran just slumped against the wall until this moment. On the sofa, he has been flying back and forth these past few days, and he hasn't had time to take a good rest.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and squint for a while, the locked rolling shutter door was smashed and banged. Wei Ran, who was half asleep, stood up in an instant, holding a pistol in his hand.

"Who?" Wei Ran put away his pistol and asked as he walked towards the rolling shutter door.

The person outside the door of "Katyusha Shooting Range" responded immediately.

Hearing this, Wei Ran immediately opened the rolling shutter door, and then saw a blond girl standing at the door of the studio pulling a small cart.

"Mr. Alexei ordered some Solothurn long bullets and asked me to deliver them here." The blonde girl shook the POS machine in her hand while speaking, "Card or cash? "

"Cash, how much is it?" Wei Ran rubbed his face and asked.

"The shells cost 160,000 rubles. They are all new products produced in Finland in the 1980s. The shipping cost is 15,000 rubles. If you can, please give me a tip of 5,000 rubles."

The girl kicked the box on the trolley and said in a low voice, "These shells are smuggled in and have not been registered, so you'd better be careful when using them."< /p>

Wei Ran nodded when he heard this and waved his hand towards the former, indicating her to push the trolley into the studio, while he found 180,000 rubles in cash and handed it to the other party.

The blonde girl diligently moved the wooden ammunition box on the trolley to the corner. After taking the money, she first took five thousand rubles from it and stuffed it into her pocket, and then started counting.

"The payment is cleared"

The blonde girl put away the cash in her hand, and then took out the moneyHe took out a small pink card from his bag and handed it to Wei Ran, "You can call me anytime if you need to test-fire artillery shells in the future. You can find mainstream World War II Soviet-German ammunition under 200 mm, and we can also arrange for live artillery firing." Various procedures, and we can provide shooting ranges of various shooting ranges."

"I will call you when necessary," Wei Ran said, lifting the glass plate on the workbench. The little pink card was stuffed in.

"It seems that you are easier to deal with than that old guy Alexei. I hope we can cooperate more often in the future."

This hairy girl gives Wei Ran winked, and without waiting for the former to say anything, he pulled the tattered trolley, hummed a song "Katyusha" and got into the dilapidated van parked at the door.

With a soft "crash" sound, Weiran locked the rolling shutter door again, then cut off the monitoring power supply of the studio, and moved out the Solothurn S18-1000 anti-tank gun again.

Putting on a pair of leather gloves, Wei Ran hummed the Katyusha song he just heard, and patiently took out all the bullets in the seven magazines and put them into the safe. Then he pressed the ammunition he just bought into it.

Looking at the ten tracer bullets left on the long table, Wei Ran shook his painful wrist, summoned the food box, and put all the remaining bullets on the second floor.

Finally, after taking back all the anti-tank guns and food boxes, Wei Ran calculated the time, simply packed some things he might need into his bag, and drove to the airport again.

After waiting in Kazan, when he landed in Inta, which was still covered with ice and snow, Jima and Alili had already been waiting for a long time.

"You're really here. I thought you were joking." Ji Ma slapped Wei Ran on the shoulder hard, "You really don't need me to follow you?"

"It's really not necessary."

Wei Ran said with a smile, "I just want to see how long I can last in the wild without running around on a broken table like last time. What dangers are there? "

"Since you have decided, I won't stop you."

As Jima spoke, he took out a satellite phone from his bag and handed it to Wei Ran, "Take this. , call once at 12 noon every day to make sure you are still alive. If you are in danger, call Alili at any time. The group of customers we arrived tonight will go to the abandoned military base for a week, and Alili and his plane will be there all the time. We'll all be there on standby."

"You are considerate." Wei Ran happily took the satellite phone.

"I spent a lot of money to buy it new, please don't damage it." Jima said with a pained look on his face.

"Look at your stingy look"

Wei Ran was too lazy to talk nonsense to Jima. While he was putting the satellite phone in his pocket, he took out a roll of rubles. He handed it to Alili who was standing next to him, "I'm sorry to trouble you this time."

"Victor, you are much more generous than that bastard Jima."

Alili exaggeratedly smelled the roll of rubles and happily put it into his pocket without counting it. "I can leave at any time. The rest is up to you."

"Then let's go!" Wei Ran said impatiently.

"You really don't need me to follow you?" Ji Ma asked again. He didn't want Wei Ran to have any accidents in Yinta.

"Don't worry"

Wei Ran greeted him and followed Alili into the plane. Then he saw a reindeer carrying two big tree branches on its head. She was lying on her knees in the cabin that was covered with pine needles, unable to stand up due to the surrounding webbing. Next to it, there was a sleigh that was not that big, and the sled was filled with supplies.

"Why are there reindeer and sleighs?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.

"It's much more comfortable than riding on skis"

Ali Lilisuo said of course, "And if you encounter a snowstorm, at least the reindeer will be enough for you to eat for a week No problem."

How much can you not trust me? Wei Ran cursed, but in the end he didn't say anything more and sat down on the only seat left in the cabin.

During the hour-long flight, Alili took the trouble to explain to Weiran the various situations that might be encountered in the polar regions and how to deal with them.

After the plane landed smoothly on a frozen lake at the eastern foot of the Ural Mountains, Alili forced Weiyan and the reindeer to give him a backpack before they left the cabin and said, "This is a short distance from you and The correctional camp that Jima visited last time is less than 20 kilometers away in a straight line. You can find it by just walking south along the river connecting the lake. The bag contains flare guns and smoke bombs. You'd better take these with you. "Bring it with you."

"Thank you, Alili. If nothing else, I should be active near this lake."

After thanking the reindeer again, Wei Ran shouted to the reindeer. A sleigh that was only slightly larger than the folded seats left the cabin and hid in the coniferous forest on the shore of the lake.

When Alili circled overhead and completely disappeared, Wei Ran also ordered the reindeer to run around the lake.

This long frozen lake is two to three hundred meters wide and at least two to three kilometers long. It is an excellent test site.

In this case, Wei Ran was too lazy to move any further. He tied the reindeer to the trunk of a pine tree, and then pitched a tent under another tree not far away.

I have to say that the things Ji Ma prepared for himself were indeed complete enough. Although he used it in the name of survival in the wild, the former was obviously worried that he would starve to death and freeze to death, so he not only prepared a thick There was a canvas tent, a cast-iron wood stove, matching kitchen utensils, and a bearskin blanket that was tight enough to wrap him up, and even a big piece of fresh venison was prepared.

Forget it, wait until he carries all the things on the overloaded sled into the truck.Only then did I discover in the prepared tent that this guy had actually prepared a large bag of coffee powder, a large bag of various seasonings, several large pieces of dry and hard big ribs, and a full 20 liters of kerosene and A kerosene gas lamp that provides both light and warmth.

"This is not for camping. This is for enjoying life in the wild, right?" Wei Ran looked at the large bottle of whiskey that he pulled out from the bearskin blanket and thought about the next few days of trials. The artillery activity also generated strong expectations.
