Chapter 42 Being slapped in the face directly
Sun Fu, an orderly of the 1st Battalion, was taken to the 1st Artillery Company by Chen Ziyun. In a short period of time, he actually achieved a hit!
The news was a bolt from the blue, and no one could believe it.
Qian Bojun and Zhang Furun stared wide-eyed, they couldn't imagine it anyway.
Sun Fu, the orderly who allowed himself to be beaten, scolded and humiliated, was actually so proficient in operating mountain cannons.
"Hehehe, Ziyun, you really didn't expect that not only do I know soldiers, I am also very good at training them."
"After a short period of training by me, the orderly can actually become a cannon. No one in the world can do it except me."
"Based on that alone, if the troops directly under the regiment are entrusted to me for training and management, I can rest assured whether they will make mistakes."
Chu Yunfei looked at Chen Ziyun with approval and praised him directly.
Then, he glanced at Qian Bojun and others.
Qian Bojun and Zhang Fuli felt an invisible slap hitting their cheeks hard.
As for Liang Guoping on the side, he lowered his head and remained silent. He asked himself whether he had that ability.
At this time, the signal corps rushed over immediately, and the observation officer Zhou Wenbo had already called and conveyed the shooting information to Zhu Yuan.
Chen Ziyun looked towards First Company Commander Sun Xiong and confidently issued the artillery bombing order.
The first artillery battery has six Jinshan cannons. Do you have detailed firing parameter lists for four of them?
Just find the corresponding parameter table, then the four mountain cannons can accurately hit the target.
Sun Xiong received the order and conveyed it, and the artillerymen went to work.
As grenades were loaded one after another, Chen Ziyun decisively gave the order to fire.
Four grenades separated from the shells and were fired directly into the distance.
"No need to test-fire..." Liang Guoping exclaimed.
Not long after, there was an explosion in the distance.
"Regiment seat, camp seat, four artillery shells accurately hit the target!"
A few minutes later, Zhang Fuyin, deputy commander of the first battalion, walked over quickly and reported helplessly.
Chu Yunfei nodded with satisfaction, while Chen Ziyun gave a thumbs up towards the artillery battery.
Immediately afterwards, under Chen Ziyun's guidance, everyone came to a high ground.
They raised their binoculars, and at this time, the artillery battery of two Shan orogenic guns rapidly advanced towards the target.
After advancing two thousand meters away from the target, the two mountain cannons launched a direct bombardment.
The two artillery shells hit accurately, and then the mountain cannon quickly moved away.
Those two Jin orogenic cannons don't have detailed firing parameter tables. If they are asked to follow them for indirect shelling, something will definitely go wrong.
"Regiment, old battalion commander, although direct-aimed artillery fire has its shortcomings, it will still be effective at critical moments."
"So while teaching new artillery tactics, they also conducted retention training on old tactics."
"When necessary, they can always bayonet mountain artillery to support infantry operations at close range."
Chen Ziyun was the first to speak, and of course he was playing a trick.
"It's rare!" Chu Yunfei nodded to express his satisfaction.
"Regiment Liang, from what I have seen as a professional artillery officer, what is the performance of the First Artillery Company this time?"
Chu Yunfei turned around, looked at Liang Guoping, and asked directly.
"It hits every target, it's a divine cannon!" Liang Guoping answered honestly.
Qian Bojun and Zhang Furun looked at each other with dissatisfaction on their faces.
Soon they saw the Second Artillery Company on standby, and immediately asked to test the training results of the Second Artillery Company.
In their view, if the artillery battery can defeat Chen Ziyun's old base troops, it will naturally be able to hit every target.
But the 2nd Artillery Battery was not a newly formed unit, and the one it used was not the Shanshan Cannon, but the Bofors Mountain Cannon!
They felt that the Second Artillery Company was definitely not as powerful as the First Artillery Company, and allowing it to carry out artillery bombardments would definitely make Chen Ziyun look bad.
Chu Yunfei glanced at Chen Ziyun and nodded randomly in agreement.
Qian Bojun personally left on horseback that time to mark the target for bombardment, but that time, the target was further away.
After the marking was completed, Qian Bojun returned there proudly.
Chen Ziyun personally directed the Second Battery of Li Yang Artillery to launch operations, and they immediately set up artillery positions.
The Bofors Mountain Cannon is an artillery piece produced by the Bofors Company. The Bofors Company has a longer history than the German-made Krupp Company.
After the First World War, Krupp took a stake in Bofors, forming a powerful alliance.
The second artillery company is equipped with the Bofors M1922 75MM mountain gun. Its total weight is 785 kilograms. It uses No. 3 charges and has a range of up to 9,200 meters.
Because it adopts a semi-automatic crank latch and a horizontal wedge sliding breech block, the breech block automatically closes after the shell is loaded.
After firing, the breech automatically opens and exits the barrel, so its rate of fire is very fast, with a maximum of twenty-five rounds per minute.
Moreover, the gun has an independent sight, so the gun body pointer needs to match the sight pointer, so that the gun body can locate the shooting direction and carry out shelling.
In this way, artillerymen only need to operate the sight when aiming, and there is no need to repeatedly adjust the heavy gun body, saving time and effort.
And on the left and right sides of the gun position, the mountain gun has a firing device, and both the first and second gun legs can be fired.
To put it bluntly, this is a very good mountain gun.
The Second Artillery Company skillfully set up their positions, and each mountain cannon was placed in position.
Chen Ziyun raised his telescope and observed that the artillery observation post had already launched operations.
Zhou Wenbo led observers and carried artillery scopes, compasses, altimetry and other wizards to measure target data.
The observer holding the compass shoots the target with a misalignment of 3,200 mils and sets the origin.
Then he made the posture of a roc spreading its wings to tell the second artillery company the direction of origin.
Chen Ziyun, observing through the telescope, immediately gave orders.
The second company commander Li Yang quickly conveyed the order, and the guns immediately adjusted their mounts and misdirected the general shooting direction.
Immediately afterwards, the Artillery Observation Post launched a series of actions. Not long after, Zhou Wenbo began to notify Zhu Yuan of targets to shoot by phone.
Chen Ziyun and Li Yang personally commanded, and each gun was equipped with a fixed gun to carry out counterattack.
It was confirmed that a Bofors mountain gun numbered 18 was designated as the benchmark gun by Chen Ziyun.
One cannon leg is skillfully operated and one test shot!
Because the six Bofors guns did not have detailed firing parameter tables, the artillery observation post immediately observed the impact point of the projectiles.
The artillery then performed a calibration shot, and shells began to be fired one after another.
Chen Ziyun came to the phone and contacted the Artillery Observation Post in person.
He had great trust in the first artillery company. After all, it was an old base unit. Even if new recruits were added, the artillery attack would still not be a problem.
The Second Artillery Company was completely a newly formed unit, so this was the first time they conducted live artillery fire.
Chen Ziyun also wanted to know the results of their training, after all, it was related to future combat.
"The artillery battalion is not as good as Chen Ziyun's old foundation. The man and artillery are almost completely integrated and can hit accurately without test firing."
"The Second Artillery Battery has just been formed, and the guns used are not Bofors Mountain Cannons. He thinks they may not be able to hit the target."
Liang Guoping carefully observed the actions of the Second Artillery Company, then came to Qian Bojun and others and said softly.
