Then, Wu Dengxiong and several artillery soldiers demonstrated the process of calculating coordinates to us at my request.
"The organization of a reconnaissance squad is five!" Wu Dengxiong said to us: "The subjective three, two people, two people, are the observer and cover personnel, among which the observer is responsible for observing the target and reporting the secret position (
At the angle), the cover staff holds a submachine gun and is responsible for observing the enemy situation and using a walkie-talkie to contact the subjective. The subjective two people are similar, and there is an extra calculator who is responsible for calculating the data or quickly obtaining the final result with the cooperation of the cover staff."
It was then that I remembered... Marx and a group of artillery observers had five. I always thought they were for the convenience of replacement... I didn't expect that artillery observers were based on five people. But strictly speaking, two people could also achieve observation
The purpose of coordinates is just that it will be slower and more dangerous.
Soon, the two observers who looked sideways were holding submachine guns and setting off with a walkie-phone on the steering wheel. Because the soldiers and I wanted to see the entire calculation process, we naturally stayed in our subjective position.
At this time, the subjective Battalion Commander Wu and others were all lying on the ground without moving. After a while, he turned around and explained to us: "Architecture observers are the enemy's key targets, so you must pay attention to concealment, and try your best to do so.
Reduce exposure time, and do not set up the steering wheel to save time before the side view is ready."
Soon, a side-looking voice came from the walkie-talkie: "It's ready!"
"Look at the side!" Battalion Commander Wu said to the microphone: "The lower left of the target No. 2 rock, about ten meters in cave..."
At this time, Battalion Commander Wu turned around and said to us: "Observation points: 1. According to the principle of minimizing exposure time, the target must be determined under cover. 2. In order to avoid confusion in identifying targets on the side view.
The identification objects with more obvious square positions are numbered, such as rocks, caves, and pine trees. The description should be clear."
Then he shouted to the walk, "Prepare..."
When Battalion Commander Wu shouted for preparation, the observer beside him was also ready, and then with Battalion Commander Wu's "Start!", the observer immediately jumped up...
On the lower shoulder of the steering wheel, adjust the level, aim at a target, and report a secret position in your mouth, then aim at a target and then report a secret position.
At the same time, Battalion Commander Wu also reported the secret position through the walkie-talkie... This secret position is actually the angle, but the angle we use is 360 degrees, and for the sake of convenience, the 360 degrees are converted into
6000 equal parts. Each equal part is divided into a secret position, which means that each secret position is 0.06 degrees, so that the secret position reported will not cause chaos.
For example: If you use the degree to report it, it will be 225 degrees and 36 points... Not only are there many digits, but there are also two words "degree" and "division", but the secret digits are different, 6,000 equal points
...The maximum number is only four digits. And it is a pure number, such as 3750...
Then the calculation is also calculated using the secret bits, and then there are a lot of numbers. The calculator, observer, etc. are busy. They came down quickly after more than ten seconds, and they heard the calculator shout.
:"Distance 1207, elevation 219!"
"Wow!" The soldiers watching next to them consciously burst into applause.
"Key points..." Wu Dengxiong said after a short pause of applause: "We were just demonstrating just now. Generally speaking, the selected observation points must be able to observe both known buildings in the rear and enemy positions, preferably in the
Masking conditions can be observed. If the appropriate observation point cannot be found due to the conditions... the masking should be used to calculate the main and side viewing distance, as well as the distance and elevation of the subjective and knowledgeable building, so that the exposure time can be shortened as much as possible!
”
"Wow!" The soldiers burst into applause again.
"Battleman Commander Wu!" I asked in disbelief: "I think you almost immediately get the corresponding distance after you get the secret position. How can you do it so quickly?"
"Yes! Is there any secret decision?" The scholar was also very curious, and the students under his command who were somewhat educated were also very curious.
"There is a secret decision!" Battalion Commander Wu nodded and asked back, "Which side does the addition start from when multiplication?"
"Then you have to ask!" Liang Lianbing replied: "Of course we count from left to right. We need to carry!"
"We count from right to left!" said Battalion Commander Wu: "We are counting while reporting. In other words... we have not finished counting when we report counting, so you are hearing our report counting
At the same time, we are actually counting…”
When we heard Battalion Commander Wu’s words, we were stunned, especially for soldiers with a certain level of education like scholars... This completely overturned our childhood education and calculation habits!
But thinking about this trick is really effective... For example, when adding hundreds of digits, first check whether the ten digits have carried. If there is no carry, just give the number. If there is a carry, add one to the number and then report a number.
Then report another number, and it will be over after the report is finished... Of course, it will be faster than adding one by one and then reporting the number one after another.
It seems that the things on this battlefield are different from those in a peaceful world... The environment of either life or death on the battlefield can force many things to the extremes of speed and efficiency.
"Battery Commander..." At this time, Liang Lianbing couldn't help but feel a little troubled: "You said... can we learn this?"
"What are you talking about this?" I said, "You tell the Yue Japanese devils... When you arrive at the battlefield, you go and tell the Yue Japanese devils. I haven't learned to report coordinates, don't hit me..."
With a "coaxing", the soldiers laughed into a ball.
"There are all!" I ordered: "The platoons that you learn are divided into three howitzers, one for each class, one for faster learning is added to another, and if you can't learn, you will be assigned to other troops!"
"Yes!" the soldiers responded.
Although the soldiers knew that it was difficult to calculate quickly and accurately, as the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Under the reward of howitzers, they were willing to try it out with a twelve-point spirit.
.
Among them, scholars seem to have advantages in a series of advantages. After all, they have a foundation... In fact, this is not the case. The reason is that people with cultural backgrounds have the habit of counting from left to right, but wanting to change this habit
It is very difficult, but many people who don’t know a lot of lyrics in the second company will start from right to left and then quickly adapt.
From this point of view, sometimes uneducated people have more advantages...
And there will be some extreme examples in this... Bayonet, don't look at him, Kong Wu is very smart, he is very good at mental calculations. The one in the second company who calculates quickly and accurately belongs to him...
Not even a few scholars can compare with him.
As soon as he asked the reason, he laughed and said, "Battery Commander, I was a pig slaughter before I joined the army. Although I couldn't read a few words, I just spent a few pounds and ounces all day long, so I've been used to it...
…”
OK...you are cruel!
But Xiao Shitou, who usually looks very clever, showed weakness in this regard. He was the slowest in the second company, which made Li Zuolong, who had just become the leader of the second row, so anxious that he jumped straight...
The second platoon leader turned out to be a scholar. After he was transferred to the first company as the company commander, Li Zuolong became the platoon leader with his outstanding skills and performance on the battlefield. People in this era still admire those who are good at martial arts.
Moreover, Li Zuolong's martial arts did perform well on the battlefield, so there was no suspense about him becoming the platoon leader.
The other people in the second row also forced Xiao Shitou to calculate, so Xiao Shitou came to me and cried: "Battery Commander... I am born to not like numbers, and there are so many people in our row who can report coordinates, so I
Isn't it possible to be an infantry charge? Someone must charge and fight! I don't want to drag my back on the platoon, just count me less..."
Although he was right, I dare not break this example, because once this example is broken, there will be another example soon. So I could only comfort him for a few words and let him continue practicing.
Rules are rules, and no one is allowed to jump outside the rules, especially for an army that wants to play.
Later I heard that Xiao Shitou was forced to eat and was calculating during training, so he was still reporting the secret position to calculate the coordinates when he fell asleep. What was even more amazing is that someone responded in his dream, and what was even more amazing is...
...Once when Battalion Commander Wu went to the rounds, he was surprised to find that the data calculated by the secrets they reported in their dreams were even correct!
Battalion Commander Wu has some objections to my approach.
He said: "Battalion Commander, at first I thought you were just talking... Now it seems that you really want to reward the cannon to the infantry. You must know that the accuracy of this cannon is not very high, more than ten kilometers or even dozens of kilometers.
There will always be errors after being shot...so the shells need a certain amount to work. Isn't it very appropriate to distribute howitzers to a certain squad in this way?"
"The grenades are assigned to the class just to facilitate their practice!" I said: "When the coordinates are practiced to a certain extent, they will practice guiding artillery fire for live-fire, which can increase their tension, and secondly, they will also be able to do so.
You can practice the coordination between infantry and guns to give them the awareness of using artillery to strike the enemy! As for this issue of accuracy... Practice does not require much accuracy. If the coordinate calculation is correct within a certain error, the coordinate calculation will be correct.
As for how to attack the enemy, it depends entirely on the battlefield!”
"Oh!" After I said this, Battalion Commander Wu understood.
Therefore, these cannons were not actually "reward" to the soldiers, but made them feel aware: "We have a few howitzers in the platoon!"
There is no doubt that this awareness will make the infantry know that they are not alone and that they are fighting, so when they encounter situations where artillery can be used on the battlefield, they will no longer use their lives to pile up like before. (Unfinished
