"How do we compete? Do we hit a fixed target?" Liu Gen asked in the training ground.
Du Jie took a look at the environment of the training ground. In this training ground, he felt that it was extremely crude. In such a crude training ground, what else could he do if he didn't shoot fixed targets? Du Jie didn't think that in this training ground,
, can bring you some surprises.
"Just hit a fixed target and compete twice, one for accuracy and the other for distance." Du Jie said solemnly.
The brigade commander frowned slightly. According to Du Jie's method of competition, it would be too much of a waste of artillery shells. Now the Huangyadong Arsenal can produce the artillery shells needed by various units of the Eighth Route Army, but these shells are the hard work of the employees of the rear arsenal.
It was produced with great pains. Four shells were used for one competition, which was a bit too much.
Liu Gen didn't notice the brigade commander's expression, but he still said directly: "This is a bit too much of a waste of artillery shells. Perhaps to your wealthy Jinsui Army, this few artillery shells are nothing."
"But for our Eighth Route Army, every artillery shell is extremely important. In battle, one artillery shell can play a huge role."
Some officers in the Jinsui Army exchange group laughed softly. They couldn't help but feel a bit more superior. So what if the Eighth Route Army killed many Japanese? In terms of equipment, they were far behind the Jinsui Army. Even if Liu Gen
This artillery is really powerful, but there are not enough artillery shells for it in the Eighth Route Army.
For artillery, if there are not enough shells, then it will not be able to give full play to its value.
"Is it too much? Four rounds of artillery shells are not many. On weekdays, our artillery regiment conducts live-fire training, which is much more than this." Du Jie said with a frown.
Liu Gen was a little helpless. The Jinsui Army was really wealthy. If the Eighth Route Army had so many artillery shells, then even if the Japanese invaded the base area to raid, they would not dare to be too arrogant. The reason why the Japanese dared to resist the Japanese base areas was constantly raiding.
The Eighth Route Army's equipment was crude and it could not compare with them in terms of firepower.
"Too much!"
"Let's do this. I'll just launch a bombardment. If you can do what I did, I'll lose." Liu Gen thought for a moment and thought of a way.
Du Jie was slightly stunned, with an angry look on his face. From Liu Gen's words, it seemed that Liu Gen didn't care about his opponent. What does it mean as long as he can do it? Du Jie didn't understand why Liu Gen was so confident, even if
Even if Liu Gen has some strength, he shouldn't be able to compete with him, an artilleryman who came out of the artillery school.
"It seems that you are very confident! Well, I want to see what gives you confidence!" Du Jie said angrily.
Liu Gen smiled lightly and did not pay attention to Du Jie's words. He believed in his own abilities and believed that his skills in artillery were unmatched by Du Jie and others.
His eyes swept across the training ground. The artillery team's training ground was not small, but for Liu Gen, the training ground was still a bit small, making it impossible for him to use it.
"Brigade commander, please ask your comrades to clear the area at 12 o'clock to make sure there is no one there," Liu Gen said to the brigade commander.
The brigade commander nodded and understood what Liu Gen meant. Before carrying out the artillery bombardment, it was very important to confirm whether there was anyone in that area. If there was any accidental damage, it would be very troublesome. Besides, the brigade headquarters were all soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and Liu Gen didn't want that.
Due to the fight between himself and Du Jie, some soldiers were injured.
"Please trouble the Jinsui Army to find a fixed target 1,500 meters away." Liu Gen said again.
Naturally, Liu Gen chose to let the officers in the Shanxi-Sui Army Exchange Group do this to prevent anyone from saying that all this was arranged by the 386 Brigade. Since it was determined that he would compete with Du Jie, Liu Gen did not want anything to happen.
question.
Du Jie was shocked. He couldn't believe the number Liu Gen said, 1,500 meters? If there were other soldiers to assist and special range-measuring optical instruments, then hitting a target 1,500 meters away would be enough.
It was not difficult. But Du Jie saw that the mortar to be used next had no optical instruments at all.
In other words, Liu Gen had to use his naked eyes to measure the distance to ensure that he could accurately hit the target 1,500 meters away.
Chu Yunfei and others also had obvious expressions of surprise on their faces. Even if they were not professional artillerymen, they knew exactly what a distance of 1,500 meters meant. Such a distance was beyond the eyesight of ordinary people.
Achieved. What's more, Liu Gen didn't have any optical instruments for measuring distance in his hands. Can he really do it with just a pair of naked eyes?
Could it be that Liu Gen knew that this was something that could not be done, so he chose to say this? After all, very few people can do it. Even if Liu Gen can't do it, there will be good reasons? Many people have this idea.
, if this is the case, then it can be explained that Liu Gen chose to bombard a target 1,500 meters away.
Chu Yunfei couldn't help but look at Liu Gen, trying to see Liu Gen's thoughts, but on Liu Gen's face, he could only see a faint confidence, as if he was not worried about failure at all. Looking at Liu Gen,
Chu Yunfei inexplicably has a little more confidence in Liu Gen. Maybe Liu Gen can really do this!
"As artillerymen, we all know what a target 1,500 meters away means. Unless you are a truly top artilleryman, it is not that easy to hit a target 1,500 meters away."
"I, Du Jie, don't think you can do it. I can say with certainty that among us, no one can do it to this extent! If you can really hit the target, then I won't need to carry out shelling anymore and will just admit defeat."
.But the difficulty is too great, I don’t think you, a young man, can do it!" Du Jie looked at Liu Gen and said seriously.
Du Jie understands his own abilities. He usually deals with targets within a kilometer. For targets a kilometer away, he can only rely on constant test firing to ensure the hit rate of the artillery shells.
Now Liu Gen, a young man, wanted to hit a target 1,500 meters away. How could Du Jie believe it?
"Open your eyes and watch! Our old captain says we can do it, then we can definitely do it." Ning Ze couldn't help but say.
Ning Ze admires Liu Gen very much. He believes that Liu Gen can achieve it, let alone the target that is 1,500 meters away, even if it is a further target.
Soldiers from the artillery team brought up mortars. This time Liu Gen and Du Jie competed, using an 82mm mortar. Its range was enough to ensure that Liu Gen could hit a target 1,500 meters away.
Next to the mortar, there was a shell. The soldiers of the artillery team had great confidence in Liu Gen and had no idea of preparing a second shell.
Liu Gen squatted down, stroked his hands over the mortar, and carefully inspected each part of the mortar to avoid problems during the shelling.
It can be seen that the soldiers of the artillery team take great care of this mortar. There is no dust on the mortar, and it is slightly shiny after being wiped by the soldiers.
Since the officers of the Jinsui Army have not determined what target Liu Gen wants to hit, Liu Gen can only wait patiently, which makes Liu Gen a little helpless. With his ability, as long as the target is determined, he can directly fire. Now these
The Jinsui Army spent so much time discussing an artillery target that Liu Gen was impatient to wait.
"Hurry up! I don't have that much time to waste!" Ten minutes later, there was still no result from the discussion, so Liu Gen could only say.
Even if Liu Gen doesn't have much to do at the brigade headquarters, he doesn't want to waste his time on such things. With this time, he can teach the soldiers of the artillery team at the brigade headquarters a little more. Liu Gen
Some people don't understand why a small bombardment target has been discussed until now with no result. Liu Gen has been squatting on the ground, and Liu Gen is a little sleepy.
Chu Yunfei saw the impatience on Liu Gen's face and felt a little helpless. The other officers had not discussed the results, which left him with no good solution. Who made many of the officers have higher ranks than him?
No matter how powerful Chu Yunfei is, he can't say anything about such a trivial matter.
No longer concerned about when these officers would be able to discuss the results, Liu Gen stood up and came to the soldiers of the artillery team. He took the time to tell them some artillery theories and at the same time helped these soldiers answer their accumulated questions.
Seeing that Liu Gen didn't seem to take this contest to heart at all, Du Jie was a little helpless. Could it be that he was really that weak? That he didn't get Liu Gen's attention? Du Jie looked at the officers who were still discussing,
As an artillery officer, he has always acted very neatly and without too much delay.
Now looking at the officers who were discussing, Du Jie suddenly had no intention of continuing to compete with Liu Gen. He realized that the fact that he actively wanted to compete with Liu Gen had probably become a "monkey show" in the eyes of many people.
.The bombardment targets these people are discussing are just to make this 'monkey show' look more beautiful.
It was only then that Du Jie noticed that Brigadier Chen of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army had disappeared at some point, leaving only his own guards to receive him. Obviously, Brigadier Chen had long been certain of the outcome of this contest, and was not interested in the result.
Young Liu Gen is full of confidence.
Du Jie looked at the other artillery officers who came together and found that they were also somewhat excluded. Their behavior style was completely different from that of ordinary officers, so how could they easily integrate into those people? Noting this,
Du Jie simply discussed with other artillery officers and walked together towards the location of the artillery soldiers.
Du Jie and others wanted to hear Liu Gen's guidance to the soldiers of the artillery team. A truly powerful artilleryman can be seen from his guidance to the soldiers.
After arriving around the artillery soldiers, Du Jie and others did not say anything directly. They listened carefully to Liu Gen's explanation for the artillery soldiers. At the beginning, Du Jie and others had the mentality of looking for trouble.
, but Liu Gen’s explanation did not allow them to find any flaws, let alone any problems.
As time went by, Du Jie and others had no intention of looking for trouble. As artillerymen, they still had some understanding of artillery theory. Du Jie and others were helpless to find that what Liu Gen explained was not only useful for
It is useful to the soldiers of the artillery team, and it is also useful to them.
At least after listening to Liu Gen's explanation, Du Jie and the others have gained a lot, which is undoubtedly their improvement.
When Chu Yunfei, who was staying in the exchange group, noticed the situation of Du Jie and other artillery officers, he couldn't help but be slightly startled. On the faces of Du Jie and others, he saw a look of gain. He turned to look at the people who were still discussing.
It was other officers who were the target of the bombardment. Chu Yunfei immediately lost the intention to discuss it. There was no need to continue this contest.
From the changes in Du Jie and others, it is enough to illustrate the problem. Liu Gen, the "artillery god" in the Eighth Route Army, must have real materials. Otherwise, how could Du Jie and other artillery officers have such bad tempers?
Where is quiet?
"Everyone, I'm afraid there is no need for us to continue the discussion. The result of the competition is already very obvious." Chu Yunfei reminded.
The other officers were a little confused, but when they looked in the direction Chu Yunfei pointed, these officers understood what Chu Yunfei meant. From the state of Du Jie and others, these officers understood
, they are not fools, they naturally know what this means.
Obviously, Du Jie and others chose to admit defeat before Liu Gen launched the bombardment. Otherwise, how could they have been so excited?
Before Chu Yunfei and others could say anything, Du Jie and the others asked Liu Gen questions one after another. As artillerymen, they also encountered many problems, some of which have not yet been solved. Now that Liu Gen is here, Du Jie
They naturally want to seize this opportunity so that they can gain more.
Liu Gen did not treat Du Jie and others differently. After listening to the questions raised by Du Jie and others, he also answered them seriously. Liu Gen knew that if he answered Du Jie and others' questions, Du Jie and others would definitely have some objections.
It was a small gain, but he believed that the soldiers of the artillery team would gain more.
Compared with the soldiers of the artillery team, Du Jie and others still have many advantages. At least they have very rich combat experience. The number of artillery shells fired by them personally was not a hundred, but only a few dozen.
If possible, Liu Gen also hopes that Du Jie and others can impart some experience to the soldiers of the artillery team so that the soldiers of the artillery team can improve more.
Time passed by as Liu Gen continued to explain. When the cooking team called for dinner, Liu Gen stopped and continued to explain. During this period, Du Jie and others never said anything about competing with Liu Gen. After listening to Liu Gen in the afternoon
After the explanation, they all clearly understood the gap between themselves and Liu Gen, so naturally they would not mention anything about competition.
After Liu Gen stopped explaining, Du Jie and others were still a little reluctant to leave. Excellent artillerymen like Liu Gen were very rare. It was not easy to find one. How could they let Liu Gen go so easily? Du Jie, who originally thought that the conditions of the Eighth Route Army were difficult
Jie and others have no idea at this time. No matter how difficult it is, they will continue to stay here for a while.
Liu Gen could clearly see the changes in Du Jie and others. He didn't have too many ideas. It would be good to save one more shell.
