After the live-fire training ended, Captain Niu had a slight smile in his eyes. He could see the progress of the artillery team soldiers.
However, when Captain Niu looked at Liu Gen, he could see obvious dissatisfaction on Liu Gen's face. Obviously, the instructor Liu Gen was quite dissatisfied with the results achieved by the soldiers. Noting this,
Captain Niu could only smile bitterly in his heart. What could he say?
The requirements for the soldiers are high enough, which shows that Liu Gen really wants to make the soldiers better. In Liu Gen's view, these soldiers can do better. Unfortunately, these soldiers are not able to do it.
At this point, Liu Gen was somewhat disappointed.
"Class 1, you were a little too anxious when controlling the mortar. Another gunner, your hands were shaking when you put the shell into the barrel. Otherwise, the results would definitely be better."
"Class 2, you did a good job, but when placing the mortars, you failed to find a flat enough place, which caused the accuracy of the shelling to decrease."
"..."
Liu Gen pointed out that some of the mistakes made by the soldiers during the operation can be obviously avoided. To control the mortar, you need to do the most basic things well in order to pursue the accuracy of the mortar. As for the calculation of the shelling angle
Above, the soldiers did quite well.
The table given by Liu Gen before was copied by each soldier, and they memorized it carefully every day. It was also because of this that these soldiers were able to calculate the angle required for the bombardment so quickly.
"Basically, the soldiers have improved. I believe that as long as they continue to train seriously, they will improve again. For the soldiers to have such improvement, I have to thank you very much." Looking at Patience
After Liu Gen pointed out the mistakes of the soldiers, Captain Niu spoke.
Liu Gen shook his head, "Captain Niu, you don't need to thank me. We are doing this for the soldiers, so that they can survive after going to the battlefield. Besides, Captain Niu, you have done a lot. If you hadn't done it every day,
If we could get some meat, the soldiers' bodies might not be able to support it long ago."
"Now, the soldiers have improved to a certain extent. All they need to do is continue to train according to the method, and they will continue to improve. The training intensity in the past few days has been a bit intense, and the soldiers' bodies should be unable to continue to support it, and they need to slow down.
Some rhythm."
Captain Niu listened carefully to Liu Gen's words. The past few days of training let him know that Liu Gen was still good at training soldiers. Naturally, he would pay attention to Liu Gen's words and looked at Liu Gen in front of him.
, Captain Niu really doesn’t want Liu Gen to leave the artillery team.
Before he met Liu Gen, Captain Niu knew that Liu Gen was very powerful. But when Liu Gen came to the artillery team and saw Liu Gen's specific strength, Captain Niu had more appreciation and satisfaction for Liu Gen.
This made Captain Niu want to keep Liu Gen, but unfortunately, Liu Gen still needed to return to the independent group.
For this matter, Captain Niu has been running to the brigade commander these days, trying to get the brigade commander to ask Liu Gen to stay. But unfortunately, the brigade commander has not let go. He promised Liu Gen to wait until this battle.
The lieutenant general will transfer him to the brigade headquarters. If he goes back on his word now, Li Yunlong will definitely complain a lot.
"Genzi, you have been in our artillery team for so long, and I have never seen you take action. There is still one artillery shell left, why don't you show your hand to the comrades?" Captain Niu asked with some anticipation. He also wanted to know Liu Gen.
How far can you control a mortar?
Sensing the expectation in Captain Niu's eyes, Liu Gen thought for a moment and nodded. He also felt a little itchy. Since there is still one shell left, Liu Gen doesn't mind firing it himself. During this time
He did not let himself be idle. When the soldiers were training, he also trained. Liu Gen also wanted to know how much progress he had made. When he came to a mortar, Liu Gen began to inspect it.
"Next, our instructor Liu Gen will fire a shot. Comrades, please watch carefully and don't miss this opportunity." Captain Niu said to the soldiers.
Without Captain Niu's words, the soldiers of the artillery team took action quickly. They came around Liu Gen and carefully watched Liu Gen's every move. Just the fact that Liu Gen inspected the mortars made many soldiers excited.
Blushing, they did not conduct such a careful inspection before carrying out the bombardment. But Liu Gen's seriousness now taught the soldiers a good lesson, and they will definitely change next.
After checking the mortar, Liu Gen slightly adjusted the position of the mortar to make it more stable and avoid affecting the accuracy during shelling.
"Cannonball!"
Yungui, who was behind Liu Gen, quickly sent the last mortar shell to Liu Gen's hands. When he took the shell, Liu Gen's hand was very steady and very fast. In almost the blink of an eye, he put the shell into it.
With a bang, the shell flew out of the gun chamber. After a few seconds of flight, it landed on a hillside 2,500 meters away from the artillery team. A tree above it was directly blown down by the shell.
"As expected of an instructor, you can actually hit it so far?"
"Is that tree the instructor's target?"
"..."
The soldiers started talking one after another. They looked at Liu Gen with ardent eyes. They were all impressed by Liu Gen's artillery skills. Being able to hit accurately at a distance of 2,500 meters undoubtedly fully demonstrated Liu Gen's power.
Captain Niu, who was beside Liu Gen, had a hint of horror in his eyes. To be able to accurately hit such a distant target, Liu Gen was a little too powerful. You know, Liu Gen's shot was almost as powerful as an 81mm mortar.
The ultimate range.
Although the 81mm mortar has a range of 2,800 meters, in fact, during battle, it will choose to bombard around 1,000 meters so as to maintain sufficient accuracy. Now Liu Gen can do this,
This already means that when bombarding the enemy, Liu Gen can hit the enemy accurately, but the enemy cannot accurately hit Liu Gen. This advantage is not small!
Now most of the Eighth Route Army's artillery will choose to close the distance with the Japanese as much as possible when fighting, and then launch artillery attacks. Only by shortening the distance can they make up for the lack of accuracy of the Eighth Route Army's artillery.
Captain Niu could imagine that if Liu Gen could accurately hit a target 2,500 meters away with a mortar, he would definitely get the attention of the headquarters artillery regiment. There are too few artillerymen as powerful as Liu Gen.
One point! Thinking that Liu Gen would come to the brigade artillery team after this battle, Captain Niu became more and more happy. As long as the soldiers can learn something from Liu Gen, the combat effectiveness of the artillery team can be improved.
.
Feeling the gazes of the soldiers, Liu Gen frowned slightly. He looked down at the mortar in front of him, but he was a little dissatisfied. In artillery specialization, he had already reached the top level, which meant that Liu Gen controlled various
All kinds of cannons are capable of reaching the ultimate range, but it is not easy to achieve this, at least Liu Gen has not been able to do it yet.
"We still need to work harder." Liu Gen murmured in a low voice and said with a wry smile.
