Chapter 135: The Iron Soldier (1)

Chief of Staff Zhao listened to Zhao Zhongyao's explanation, and he was sincerely happy that the army could have such a talent.

"Okay, the exercise will start soon, I won't say more, this time it will depend on how the equipment you have developed. Chief of Staff Zhao patted Zhao Zhongyao on the shoulder, and then walked back to the helicopter.

The first step of the exercise has ended, and although Yao Hongjun's position has been exposed, this is caused by some objective reasons. The chief of staff still took care of him and still gave Yao Hongjun an extra point.

The entire exercise lasted only five hours, and in that five-hour period, the two armored divisions had to complete five encounters.

The first step is to settle in the position and hide the equipment.

In the course of this step, the main thing is to examine the maneuverability and concealment capabilities of both sides. It depends on how much time it will take to conceal the hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles of the whole division.

This was a prelude to the exercise and a preparatory work for the official start of the exercise.

At this step, the two sides were tied. One point each. It can be regarded as giving Yao Hongjun a little confidence.

The second step is to conduct a live-fire competition, which can also be said to be a tank target shooting competition. This step is divided into two small steps. The first is the firing of tanks at stationary targets. The second, there is the firing of tanks at moving targets.

In the middle of the positions of both sides there was a hill pack. Halfway up the hill, a clearing has been cleared, on which several large circles have been drawn with white lime, and numbers are written in the middle. Written from one to ten, respectively. A total of 10 large circles means that there are 10 fixed goals.

In the middle of these ten large circles, some symbolic buildings and equipment were also made, such as an armored car or tank made of cement, or a pillbox, or a house.

Anyway, in every big circle, there is a symbolic object that is going to be the target of tank fire.

Wait a while, the game will begin, each side will send 100 tanks 500 meters away from the target to shoot at these 10 targets, and every 10 tanks will shoot at one target.

Finally, it depends on the shooting accuracy of these hundred tanks. If you can destroy all of these targets, you can get one point. If there is one target that is not destroyed, there is no score.

Now the exercises officially began, and the chief of staff gave the order to fire at stationary targets of the tank. First let Yao Hongjun's tank start firing.

Yao Hongjun ordered the commander of his tank regiment to lead their 100 tanks out of the position.

A hundred tanks were like a long steel dragon, from the bunkers in the position, all the way to the foot of the hill.

The roar of the tanks was deafening, and for a time the exercise site was filled with gunsmoke, which was a bit of a real battlefield.

Yao Hongjun commanded the 100 tanks under his command to 'boom' from the position to the target position.

The leaders on the viewing platform looked at the steel dragon in front of them, and they couldn't stop admiring.

"Oh! How majestic this is! 100 tanks, 100 iron dragons!" A leader held a telescope and watched excitedly as Yao Hongjun's 100 tanks were assembling at the foot of Xiaoshanbao.

"That's right! Actually, there is no better way to show the majesty and strength of the army than these steel guys! Seeing these steel guys rumbling past in front of you makes people's blood boil! I really want to go and drive it myself!"

The other chief also looked at the steel guys with binoculars and echoed excitedly.

"Chiefs, in fact, this is just Yao Hongjun's old equipment! If you wait a while for Yan Mingcheng's new equipment to come out, you will feel shocked!"

Chief of Staff Zhao had already returned to the viewing platform and accompanied his superiors to watch this wonderful armored confrontation exercise.

"Yes! We came to watch the exercise this time, of course, just to see how the performance of the new equipment developed by Comrade Zhao Zhongyao was. However, whether it is new equipment or old equipment, when it comes to this exercise battlefield, it is all good equipment, and it can bring out the momentum of our army!"

After listening to Staff Officer Zhao's words, the chief said how he felt.

"Yes, chief, the old equipment also has the advantages of the old equipment, and the new equipment also has the disadvantages of the new equipment, as long as you can learn from each other's strengths, you can give full play to the maximum efficiency of the equipment!"

Chief of Staff Zhao was chatting with the chiefs while watching the exercise.

Let's talk about Yao Hongjun this time, but he is determined to win. You must know that he has carried out no less than ten fixed-target firing exercises. It's the same this time, for Yao Hongjun, it's nothing at all.

He quickly gathered a hundred tanks at the foot of the hill and lined them up. Then let all the tank barrels turn at a ninety degree. Let the artillery above these tanks be directed at the target who took the mountain.

A hundred tanks lined up, and all of them rotated their barrels 90 degrees, just like a show, which made people feel very exciting to watch.

"Well! Yao Hongjun also knows that the show will show us! You see that these tanks all rotate their gun barrels, and let these gun barrels be directly aimed at the target one by one, which is really spectacular!"

One of the chiefs spoke again as he watched.

"Spectacular, spectacular, but it has to be fought well! If it is not fought well, then what is the use of being spectacular!" The other chief did not care too much.

Although the old equipment may not be as powerful as the new equipment, this precision shooting competition has little to do with power, and it is the shooter's skill that is tested. I believe that these veterans will be able to play well. ”

This chief seems to be very optimistic about the old equipment, and he keeps praising the old equipment!

"Well, what you said is also true, although the old equipment is not powerful enough, it should not lose to the new equipment in terms of shooting accuracy!" The chief just now listened to the chief's words, and he also agreed.

Now Yao Hongjun's 100 tanks have all been prepared, and all the gunners have loaded the shells into the barrels of the tanks.

"The first group starts shooting!" After Yao Hongjun received the command that the gunners had already loaded the shells, he began to order the ten tanks of the first group to start shooting.

The artillery trucks of the ten tanks received an order from the division commander and immediately began to let the gunners fire shells.

After hearing only a loud "boom, boom!" and the barrels of the ten tanks of the first group shook under the impact of the rear frustration. Three bolts of fire erupted from the barrel, and one shell after another flew towards the No. 1 target on the slope of the mountain.
