After leaving the cave, Liu Gen kept asking about the specific situation of the artillery company soldiers.
Captain Niu had no reservations about this, and the exchange between the two reached every soldier. In the past few years of training, the artillery team has also produced many capable soldiers. The artillery regiment at the headquarters also sent people to conduct training.
Guidance, but the artillery team of the brigade also fought, and fighting inevitably involves sacrifice.
Some trained soldiers died on the battlefield. Captain Niu could only grit his teeth and work hard to train the soldiers. He worked harder and increased the training volume of the soldiers so that the soldiers could survive the battlefield as much as possible. In the battle,
Captain Niu was also injured, but he was lucky and his life was not in danger.
Speaking of his injuries, Liu Gen noticed that Captain Niu's right little finger was missing. During a battle, Captain Niu's right little finger was scratched by a Japanese shell fragment and was cut off. But in Captain Niu's words,
He didn't have too many complaints. He felt that it was pretty good that he could survive the cruel battlefield. What else could he complain about?
Unfortunately, many soldiers died on the battlefield. It is already very good that Captain Niu can survive.
"Captain Niu, after our conversation, I have a certain understanding of the soldiers of the artillery team. So, the soldiers are a little weak in the operation of mortars, so in the past few days, I will teach the soldiers to control them better.
The mortar is in good hands." Looking at Captain Niu beside him, Liu Gen said.
Captain Niu frowned slightly, "Captain Liu, the control of mortars cannot be improved in a short time. Most people think that mortars are easier to control than infantry cannons and mountain cannons, but in fact? Mortars are the most difficult to control.
The one who controls."
"It is easy to shoot out shells with mortars, but it is quite difficult to maintain sufficient accuracy. Mortars have curved trajectories. If you want to hit the target accurately, you need precise ranging and calculation. This is very important to the soldiers.
It is quite difficult. Of course, if you want the soldiers to fire mortars well, you can also use a large number of artillery shells to feed them, but our artillery team does not have so many artillery shells for the soldiers to practice."
Listening to Captain Niu's words, Liu Gen's expression did not change much. It was precisely because of this that he wanted to teach the soldiers how to better control the mortars and help them improve the accuracy of shelling. For others
For humans, it is difficult to help the soldiers improve their accuracy, but this is not the case for Liu Gen. He chose to teach the soldiers this, naturally because he thought of a solution.
"Captain Niu, in my opinion, this is the only place where the soldiers of the artillery team can improve. The operation of mountain artillery and infantry artillery is not difficult. Besides, after your training, Captain Niu, the soldiers will definitely be able to do it well.
"
"That's not the case with mortars. Once the soldiers can improve their mortar control, the artillery team's combat effectiveness will inevitably improve in a straight line. You also know that the artillery we captured from the Japanese is only mortars.
"More. If the soldiers of the artillery team can be improved this time, then we may be able to extend this method to other units, so that the soldiers can better kill the Japanese!" Liu Gen said seriously.
Looking at Captain Niu in front of him, Liu Gen hoped that Captain Niu would agree so that he could start teaching the soldiers of the artillery team.
Feeling Liu Gen's gaze, Captain Niu also looked at Liu Gen seriously. He could see the extremely obvious confidence on Liu Gen's face, which made him realize that Liu Gen should have someone to rely on. Realizing this
At one point, Captain Niu thought, maybe Liu Gen, a young man, would really have something to do.
"Liu Company Commander, I wonder how you plan to teach the soldiers?" Captain Niu asked, looking at Liu Gen.
Liu Gen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Captain Niu was ready to let him try. Under Captain Niu's gaze, Liu Gen told him the solution he had come up with, and listening to Liu Gen's narration, Captain Niu's face
There was a hint of shock on his face, he didn't expect to be able to do this.
"Okay, since Captain Liu has come up with a solution, teach the soldiers how to better control the mortars, so that the soldiers can fire the mortars more accurately!" Captain Niu looked at Liu Gen.
There is some expectation,
Captain Niu is somewhat looking forward to how much improvement the artillery soldiers will have under Liu Gen's guidance. If every soldier's improvement is not small, then Liu Gen's idea may really be extended to the entire army.
"Liu Company Commander, let's go, we will teach the soldiers when we get back now." Captain Niu said impatiently.
Liu Gen laughed, knowing that Captain Niu was a little anxious, so naturally he would not have any problems. He quickly followed Captain Niu back to the artillery team. The soldiers who had been training for a period of time were resting, and saw Captain Niu and Liu Gen.
When they came back, they all stood up quickly.
"Comrades, don't panic, I know you have just finished training, and we will be training later. Now let me introduce to the comrades the instructor of our artillery team, Captain Liu Gen from the artillery company of the Independent Regiment."
"Everyone should have heard of the name of Company Commander Liu Gen. The old Japs Bantian killed the Bantian Regiment with one shot. In the battle in the Getonggou Mountain, he led the artillery company to destroy the Japs' artillery positions. We all have them.
Captain Liu Gen's participation! Now Captain Liu Gen joins our artillery team and becomes the instructor of the artillery team. Welcome everyone!" Captain Niu introduced Liu Gen's achievements to the soldiers, and the soldiers of the artillery team all looked at him with stunned expressions.
There was a little more respect and admiration in Liu Gen's eyes.
"welcome!"
"Welcome Company Commander Liu to our artillery team as an instructor!"
"..."
The soldiers of the artillery team shouted excitedly, which surprised Liu Gen. He was so famous? From Liu Gen's perspective, he didn't achieve much, not to mention the difficulty in disseminating information in this era. Who would have thought of the artillery team?
Have all the soldiers in the team heard of him?
"Hello, comrades, I am Liu Gen. I will be the instructor of our artillery team in the next few days. I hope you can train hard and kill the Japanese!" Liu Gen stepped forward and said with a smile.
The soldiers of the artillery team warmly welcomed Liu Gen's arrival. They all wanted to know what the instructor Liu Gen would teach them. If Liu Gen could achieve such a record, his artillery skills should be quite good. In the eyes of many soldiers
They are all full of expectations, hoping that they can become stronger under Liu Gen's guidance.
"Everyone still has ten minutes to rest. In ten minutes, we will start training on time." Looking at the soldiers present, Liu Gen said.
On the way back, Captain Niu said that Liu Gen would be in charge of the artillery team's training in the following time, and he would be responsible for other things. As long as it was about training, he would never interfere.
In this regard, Liu Gen was a little helpless, but also a little moved. He was moved by Captain Niu's trust in him.
