Chapter 136

【Type: Heavy howitzer】

【Data: Caliber: 150mm, fires 43.5 kg high-explosive shell, barrel length: 4.5 meters, total width: 2.26 meters, total height: 1.71 meters, weight: 5530 kg, maximum rate of fire: 4 rounds/min, effective range: 13250 meters】

【Status: Damaged, can be used again after repair】

【Introduction: During World War II, the Republic of China purchased 24 cannons from Germany. Before the battlefield, the enemy urgently reinforced their military, causing the cannons at the time to misfire. Immediately after, the defense battle failed, and before leaving, they abandoned most of their supplies and equipment, including seven 150mm howitzers. This cannon accidentally fell into a swamp during subsequent transport and has been buried ever since.】

After Fang Yang finished reading the introduction, he took a deep breath, the shock on his face beyond words.

Captain Feng asked curiously: "Fang Yang, do you recognize this cannon?"

"I recognize it!" Fang Yang nodded: "During the war back then, there were only 24 of these cannons in all of China, and it can be said that it was the most powerful weapon in China at the time. It's just a pity that this one was lost here."

"I don't know if you've heard its name: 32-caliber 15-howitzer!"

Chen Feng shook his head: "Although I am from the Cultural Relics Bureau, I study ancient culture more. This kind of historical revolutionary cultural relic is not my strong suit."

Captain Feng was indeed deep in thought, and a moment later: "I've heard of it a little, but I don't know much about the military aspect. I didn't expect to discover a cannon!"

【Popularity】+1+1+1+1....

——【Holy crap, are you crazy? I let you operate an excavator, and you dug up a cannon? And it's such a big cannon, outrageous!】

——【Am I dreaming? It's one thing to dig up guns and mortars, but you even dug up a cannon. If I let you keep digging, will you dig up a tank?】

——【Mommy, it was already very exaggerated to encounter a cannon in a cave last time, but this time it's not even acting anymore, it's dug up? Such a big cannon is much bigger than what I saw on TV. How big of a shell does this need? Is it an anti-tank gun?】

——【I don't know if there are still shells inside the cannon, will it explode suddenly? I've only seen this thing once in an exhibition hall. I really haven't seen this style before.】

——【Let a military enthusiast tell you, there are only two of these cannons currently preserved in all of China. Imagine its cultural relic value. If nothing goes wrong, a specialized department will come soon. The police really can't handle this kind of cannon.】

——【It's incomprehensible that such a big cannon is left here and no one wants it!】

——【What's incomprehensible about it? This place is a swamp. With such a heavy cannon falling in, do you think the technology at that time could fish it out?】

——【I calculate that Fang Yang will be on the search trend again in a while.】

Captain Feng took out his phone and made a call.

Very quickly, the call was connected.

"Hello! Bureau Chief Cao, I discovered a cannon from decades ago here. You need to arrange some manpower to come and help!"

"What the hell? A cannon? How can there be such a thing? Where did it come from?"

"Uh... dug up by an excavator!"

"That's truly rare. Okay, I know. I'll arrange some manpower and a crane to go over immediately!"

After hanging up, Captain Feng couldn't help but look at Fang Yang, thinking in his heart, it seems the rumors are all true!

He just finished digging up heavy cultural relics, and in the next moment, he dug up a cannon for him.

And this is not an ordinary cannon.

It's fortunate that he didn't leave today, otherwise, he would have had to run back and forth here at least a few times. By the time the work was done, he would have been exhausted.

And he didn't know if there were shells inside this cannon and what the safety factor was.

If he accidentally blew it up, that would really be....

"Fang Yang, you'd better keep digging, so that if they leave in a while, you dig up something else, and I'll have to find people again!"

Chen Feng laughed out loud when he heard this.

The cameraman also teased: "Brother, you've already made a name for yourself. Congratulations, congratulations!"

Fang Yang had black lines on his face. He was clearly just working honestly, but he could dig up things wherever he went.

Could it be that the show crew arranged it in advance?

That can't be either!

Many national treasures are not fake; the show crew doesn't have that ability.

But if this is a matter of luck.

That's too eerie. Is it necessary to keep digging up things!

Sigh~~

Fang Yang sighed, sat on the excavator again, and honestly started digging.

And the news of him digging up a cannon was, without exception, posted on the internet again for crazy viewing.

#Fang Yang digs up heavy cannon#

——【666, this is even more enjoyable than watching Japanese movies. If it weren't inconvenient to watch the live stream while at work, I would have been camping in the live stream room long ago.】

——【I have been completely conquered. It was already very outrageous to dig up a cannon in a cave last time, but now he dug up another one. Others dig soil, he digs cannons. This is a heavy howitzer, and he just dug it up casually?】

——【Actually, you don't know, he already dug up a pile of guns and bullets before, including submachine guns, machine guns, and sniper rifles. He even dug up mortars and shells. Thinking about it this way, could it be an arms depot underneath?】

——【I estimate it's from the Republic of China era... It's not strange for the National Army to abandon guns and cannons at that time.】

——【What a big tap water pipe. This thing should be worth a lot of money if taken home and sold as scrap metal. The old man next door who collects scrap metal is laughing silly.】

——【To the person above, you are really asking for trouble! This kind of cannon is already a cultural relic. If you damage it intentionally, you will be sentenced. Illiteracy is not scary; what's scary is your ignorance!】

At the same time.

The curator of the Jiangning Provincial Revolutionary Museum was wiping cultural relics in the exhibition hall.

A young man ran over in a hurry holding a phone.

"Curator! Look at this video quickly... An anchor on the internet dug up a 32-caliber 15cm heavy howitzer. It seems to be from the war era."

"And the internet also says that not only were these dug up, but there are also other guns and ammunition, even mortars and shells were dug up. It's possible there are war equipment underneath."

After listening, the curator frowned and looked at the young man.

"32-caliber 15cm heavy howitzer? Are you sure it's not an ordinary mountain gun?"

"Yes!"

"Do you know how many of these cannons our country currently has preserved?"

"Uh... I don't know!"

"There are only two in total. Do you think this thing is Chinese cabbage? You can dig it up if you want. Who has nothing better to do than bury such a large howitzer in the ground? Do you think the conditions at the time would allow for that?"

"But... but... he really dug it up. If you don't believe me, take a look!"

The curator sighed, put down the cultural relic in his hand, took the phone, and started watching.

"Hey... you young people are just not steady enough... Hmm?... Holy crap!!! Is it really a 32-caliber 15cm heavy howitzer?"

"I really didn't expect that after so many years, there was still one buried in the ground. Where was this dug up?"

"Curator, it's in Xihai City in our Jiangning Province!"

"Ah? Ours? Damn, let's go, let's go, hurry up and drive over. If we don't go, they won't know how precious it is, and it will end up being the local Cultural Relics Bureau's!"

"Uh... okay Curator, I'll arrange the driver immediately!"

For a time, two museum curators, with different purposes, were all rushing over here.

Even Fang Yang himself didn't know how many people were paying attention to his side.

And his initial idea was just to help the boss dig a ditch.

Looking at it now, the project is indeed continuing.

It's just that.

It has completely changed its flavor, no longer digging soil for the sake of digging a ditch.

Because after digging for a while, he dug up another huge steel pipe.

When he completely cleared the soil, everyone was speechless.

It was actually another cannon, and it was the same type.

Fang Yang couldn't help but guess in his heart, could all 7 cannons from back then have fallen in?

That can't be.

If that were really the case, he wouldn't be here to dig a ditch today; he would have come to dig cannons!

The farm owner was also ashen-faced at this moment. Now it was too late for him to drive Fang Yang away.

With so many things dug up in this place, even if Fang Yang left, he would just be replaced by someone else to dig.

Since he had to wait anyway, it was better to just let Fang Yang keep digging.
