1, Long March Intensity During the Dadu River Campaign, Zhao Zhangcheng, then the artillery battalion commander, personally operated mortars to shoot across the river. Only three shells were used, and the bullets were not lost, which destroyed the enemy's three machine gun bunkers and covered 18 warriors crossing the river.
2. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, in order to drive the Japanese army out of the bunker, Zhao Zhangcheng poured out a part of the explosives in the mortar shells, loaded them with Chili noodles, and then loaded them with fuses, making a total of 20 such shells. In order to improve the shooting effect, Zhao Zhangcheng led the artillery company to advance the position to a distance of 0/50m from the enemy/KLOC-0, set the scale to 50 degrees, and personally aimed at the test firing. After the attack began, four guns fired at close range, and a strong pungent smell flooded into the enemy bunker. The Japanese army thought that our army was playing poison gas bombs and abandoned the fort one after another.
3. Zhao Zhangcheng has reformed the 82 mortar, adding a 400 mm tail pipe at the gun tail, using a fire-pulling firing device, and tilting the chassis to the ground, so that the inclination of the gun barrel and the horizon is kept below 5 degrees, so that the 82 mortar can shoot both curvedly and horizontally, and has the function of an infantry gun.
