"Okay! If you want to come and have a meal, then come." The brigade commander glanced at Liu Gen and said with a smile.
Under the instructions of the brigade commander, Liu Gen found a place to sit down and waited patiently for the soldiers to bring breakfast. After the brigade commander finished packing, he also came to Liu Gen and sat down. In his hand, he held the
Some information that needs to be processed. The various agencies in the headquarters are being transferred. The 386 Brigade is deployed in this area to ensure the safe evacuation of the headquarters agencies. There are many things that need to be handled by the brigade commander every day.
"Genzi, do your artillery units still have enough shells? Enough to fight several battles?" The brigade commander looked at the information in his hand for a while and asked.
Liu Gen thought for a moment and said, "The artillery team does not have many artillery shells. If the scale of the last battle were to be used, it would only be able to fight three battles at most. If the artillery shells are not captured, I am afraid that there will be no more artillery shells for a long time."
"One thing, I want to ask you, brigade commander, if you need to hide a few mountain cannons in advance. If the Japanese really come in large numbers, we probably won't fight them head-on. We will use a few mountain cannons as well. So
After many battles, I also found that mountain artillery was of little use in battle, and it was not very consistent with the combat methods of our Eighth Route Army."
The brigade commander nodded. He knew that Liu Gen was right. Mountain artillery was indeed not very suitable for front-line soldiers. The Eighth Route Army was best at guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare. It used small groups of soldiers to constantly harass the enemy and kill the Japanese leaders. And
This kind of fighting method undoubtedly means that it needs to be flexible enough. It is difficult to move the mountain artillery, so it is naturally not very suitable for guerrilla warfare.
It is naturally impossible to engage in positional warfare with the Japs. The number of Japs who will come to carry out raids in the base area will probably be tens of thousands. With such a large number of Japs, it is natural that we cannot choose to fight them head-on. If we do not choose to fight head-on, then
The mountain cannon cannot be used. It is very necessary to hide it in advance. No one knows when the Japanese will come.
"Then hide a few mountain cannons in advance. These are the treasures of our 386th Brigade, so there can be no problems." the brigade commander said.
Seeing that the brigade commander had made a decision, Liu Gen naturally knew what to do, so he found a suitable hiding place. He only needed to hide a few mountain cannons. This place where the mountain cannons were hidden was not suitable for being blocked by too many people.
People know that only by maintaining sufficient secrecy can the safety of these mountain cannons be guaranteed.
"When I return to the artillery team, I will take the soldiers to handle this matter." Liu Gen said seriously.
The brigade commander looked at Liu Gen in surprise, but he didn't expect Liu Gen to find the right place so quickly, "So fast?"
"Hey, I have found a suitable location a long time ago. I just need to get your consent from the brigade commander. Now that I have your consent, it will naturally be very fast." Liu Gen said with a smile. Being able to get the brigade commander's consent, Liu Gen
He was still very happy. Before asking the brigade commander, he knew that the brigade commander would most likely agree, but when he actually heard the brigade commander agree, he was still a little excited.
The brigade commander laughed and patted Liu Gen on the shoulder with great satisfaction. With Liu Gen as such a capable artillery team captain, he could undoubtedly feel more at ease. When Liu Gengang took over the artillery team, the brigade commander was also a little worried.
Liu Gen's ability is good, but compared with an old man like Captain Niu, he undoubtedly lacks a lot of stability. For the brigade artillery team, stability is undoubtedly the most important thing.
Facts have proved that choosing Liu Gen to take over the artillery team was a very wise decision. Under Liu Gen's leadership, the artillery team's combat effectiveness has not declined at all, but has become stronger. Liu Gen's changes to the artillery team
, were all seen by the brigade commander, and he was somewhat looking forward to what changes the artillery team would have under the leadership of Liu Gen if this continued.
"I will ask the arsenal to see if they can replenish some artillery shells for the artillery team." After pondering for a moment, the brigade commander said.
The brigade commander clearly knows the combat effectiveness of the artillery team. In the next battle, with the fire support of the artillery team, the troops of the 386 brigade can be more relaxed in the battle. Once there is no fire support from the artillery team, it will be very difficult for the soldiers.
Casualties are prone to occur, and the brigade commander naturally does not want this to happen, so it is urgent to replenish artillery shells for the artillery team.
"Brigadier, let's forget it! The artillery shells produced by our arsenal are not very powerful at all, and they are far different from the artillery shells we captured!" Liu Gen waved his hand and said with some disgust.
The brigade commander looked at Liu Gen with a look of disgust on his face, feeling a little helpless. He knew that the artillery shells produced by the arsenal were not very powerful, and most of the artillery shells were successfully reinstalled by the arsenal. But no matter how weak the power of the artillery shells was, they could still kill the Japanese.
, it’s just a question of how many to kill. Besides, if the artillery team runs out of shells, aren’t these shells also available for emergency use?
"Genzi, you still dislike the artillery shells from the arsenal. They can't help it. We only have black powder, which is only so powerful. How much more can we ask for?" the brigade commander said.
Liu Gen also knows this. As long as the gunpowder used in the arsenal does not change, the power will definitely remain the same. Liu Gen knows that the experts and related personnel in the arsenal must also want to develop new gunpowder, but this does not mean that the gunpowder used in the arsenal will remain the same.
It's not that I want to study it. But without changing the gunpowder, no matter how many shells the arsenal makes, it will not be able to successfully suppress the enemy's firepower.
Compared with bullets made and reloaded in arsenals, soldiers prefer to use captured bullets. At least the captured bullets are powerful enough to kill the Japanese without any doubt. And the bullets transported from the arsenal to the front line
That's not necessarily the case. Of course, when the soldiers don't have bullets in their hands, no matter how bad the bullets are, they can still be used.
"I see, we still need to study gunpowder. Compared with the Japanese, the ammunition produced by the arsenal is too weak." Liu Gen couldn't help but said.
The brigade commander nodded vigorously. The rear arsenal has been thinking of ways to study flames, but there are not many talents in the gunpowder field. It may be difficult to make progress in a short period of time. The brigade commander looked at it.
Xiang Liu Gen, there was a glint in his eyes. As an artilleryman, Liu Gen should be no stranger to explosives. Maybe Liu Gen can find a way?
"Genzi, do you have any ideas about researching gunpowder?" the brigade commander asked expectantly.
Liu Gen smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't have much idea about the research on gunpowder. He had been exposed to gunpowder, but if he wanted to truly study gunpowder, he needed to master more relevant theoretical knowledge.
"Brigadier Commander, you think too highly of me. Why don't you find more gunpowder talents and experts to come to our base area? With the achievements of our Eighth Route Army during this period, we will definitely get help from many patriots!" Liu Gen
