In movies and television, Feng Xiaochen has heard this kind of howling sound of cannonballs flying countless times, but in reality, this is the first time. Rao is that he was able to do Taishan collapse without being shocked when dealing with other things, and at this moment he was also scared out of the sky. This is not a movie to play, this place is a war zone, a place to use real guns.

Just now, on the way of the jeep, he had seen with his own eyes a large bomb crater, and the soil on it was still fresh, apparently blown up not long ago. The crater was big enough to fill a jeep in it. It is conceivable that if a shell falls directly on the jeep, what will be the result, is it possible that he will have to take it back and forth?

The other people in the car also heard the shelling, and the driver of the car was said to have been sent from the front, and his face was relatively calm. Mundy's performance was similar to Feng Xiaochen's, although he didn't shout out loud, but he subconsciously made a neck shrinking action, and he didn't know how effective this action could be when the cannonballs hit.

Zhang Heping was born in the army, and when he heard the voice, he turned his head to look in the direction where the shells were flying, frowned, and did not say a word. However, Feng Fei's performance was quite surprising, not only did he not look a little scared, but also as if he had heard some fairy music, his face showed a happy look, and said:

"This should be a FH70,155 mm howitzer jointly manufactured by Britain, Germany and Italy,...... Hey, what are you afraid of, the cannonballs are far away from us!"

By the time he had finished saying this, the shell had already landed, and as he had said, it was still about two miles away from the road, and the booming explosion sounded terrifying, but the jeep did not even take the shock wave of the explosion.

"No, Second Uncle, you can know the landing point just by listening to the voice?" Feng Xiaochen stroked his chest, looked at Feng Fei, and asked in surprise.

Feng Fei said: "Nonsense, what am I doing? I can't tell the drop point that is several miles away, isn't it a dry meal?"

"It seems that there is still a specialization in the art industry. Feng Xiaochen nodded and said. Before he could say anything more, the sound of cannonballs flying in the distance was heard again. However, this time even he could hear that the shells were not coming in this direction, and the place of the explosion was a mile or two away.

At this time, the driver turned his head and muttered a few words to Mundy, he spoke the local language of Dee Country, which no one could understand. Mundy helped translate the words into English and said to the crowd, "Gentlemen, the driver said that it seems that the rebels are shelling again, and it is not safe to continue driving on the road, so he advised us to go ahead and take shelter. ”

"Is there any hiding place ahead?" asked Zhang Heping.

"Yes, in front of us is our own howitzer position, on which there are shelters to avoid artillery. The driver said that the rebels would shell this side from time to time, and each time the attack lasted about an hour, it was over, and I thought it would be better for us to dodge. ”

Mundy said. He was originally a civil servant of the government, and if it weren't for accompanying Feng Xiaochen and his party, he wouldn't have ventured on the battlefield. Those two shells just now had already scared his soul away.

"Well, let's hide for a while. "Zhang Heping is in charge of everyone, this time is not the time to be a hero, he has to be responsible for the safety of Feng Xiaochen and Feng Fei.

Feng Fei was quite happy, and he said: "Is it the howitzer position of the government army? It just so happens that I can go and see what model of howitzer you have." ”

Mundy was overjoyed to hear several Chinese agree to avoid the bomb, and he said something to the driver, who turned onto a small road. During this time, the sound of artillery began to thicken, and in addition to the shells flying from the direction of the rebels, the whistling of shells flying towards the rebels from this side, and then the dull sound of explosions coming from a distance. The direction in which the driver drove was exactly the direction in which the shells flew out.

The jeep went around a small wood, and the smoke from artillery fire could be seen in front of it. Closer, the howitzer position had entered everyone's field of vision, Feng Fei was almost about to stand up from the back of the jeep, his eyes staring directly at that position, and it could be seen that this was his favorite thing.

The driver drove the jeep to a shelter behind the position, which was a few semi-underground fortifications, covered with thick logs and sandbags, and it was estimated that it was very safe to hide in it as long as it was not directly hit by shells. As soon as the car stopped, the driver pointed to the shelters and spoke some local dialect. Mundy hurriedly jumped out of the car, suppressed his fear, and said to Feng Xiaochen and the others: "Everyone, let's hurry up to the bomb shelter and take a rest, the driver said that the other party's shelling will not last too long, and when their shelling is over, let's go again." ”

As he spoke, without waiting for everyone to answer, he prepared to run into the fortifications. Who would have thought that Feng Fei grabbed his arm and said, "Mr. Mundy, don't worry, I have a request, I don't know if it's suitable or not......"

"Mr. Feng, can we go to the bomb shelter and talk about something?" said Mundy with a sad face, he clearly heard another shell flying in the air, and as for where it would fall, he could not hear it.

Feng Fei didn't panic at all, he would have heard it, the artillery bombardment on the rebel side was also chaotic, and the frequency was not high, it was estimated that it was just a matter of putting cold cannons to cause some trouble for the government army. This kind of loose cannon is actually not much of a threat, unless it is particularly unlucky, even if you walk with your eyes closed, you will not be scratched a single hair.

"Mr. Mundy, the cannonballs are still far away. What I want to say is, can you be accommodating with the officers on the position, I want to visit their position, what do you think?" Feng Fei said. He is a person who studies artillery, and when he encounters this kind of actual artillery battle, there is no reason not to go to the scene to observe it. The problems that may arise with equipment in actual combat are very different from ordinary experiments. In the past few years, the southern front has been engaged in the two-mountain round battle, and the Dongxiang Factory has also specially sent technical personnel to the battlefield to collect information. Now that there is a case on the battlefield in Africa, Feng Fei certainly wants to take a look.

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not quite right, right?" said Mundy.

"I'm just going to take a look, and it won't affect their ...... fighting," Feng Fei said. He was not good at this kind of begging people to do things, and thinking that he was an outsider and wanted to see other people's positions, there must be many taboos, and he didn't know how to convince Mundi.

Zhang Heping saw some problems, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Mundy, Mr. Feng just wants to see the position, if you can, please ask Mr. Driver to take us over, we don't need Mr. Mundy to accompany you." If we can't go directly to the position, then we have to ask Mr. Mundy to take us to the side and find a place where we can see the position......"

"This ...... I'll talk to the driver. Mundy reluctantly relented. It was already clear that he was afraid of death, and he said it bluntly, and if Mundy could help them to be accommodating, they would go to the position themselves, and Mundy could hide in the fortifications. If Mundi doesn't help, then I'm sorry, let's just stay outside together, the air is fresh and the scenery is pleasant, everyone chats together, and listens to the sound of cannons, it's still very pleasant.

The driver is a soldier in a combat unit, and he doesn't know anything about diplomacy or military secrets. Hearing that Mundy said that these Chinese guests wanted to go to the position to have a look, he nodded and agreed without saying a word, and then walked towards the position in a muffled voice. In fact, he didn't have anything to say, because what he said was not understood by the Chinese, and what the Chinese said, he could not understand.

Feng Fei turned his head to Feng Xiaochen and Zhang Heping and said, "Director Zhang, Xiaochen, you two go to the fortifications to rest, and I'll go to the front with the driver to have a look." ”

With that, he trotted two steps to catch up with the driver, and also walked in the direction of the position. Feng Xiaochen and Zhang Heping glanced at each other, then smiled together, and followed Feng Fei to the position. From Feng Xiaochen's side, it is false not to be afraid, but since Feng Fei is going to the position, how can he, a nephew, hide in the fortifications alone? In addition, he knows that Feng Fei is not good at communicating, and if he commits any taboos or conflicts with the commander of the front line, he will have to help mediate.

The bomb shelter was not far from the artillery position, and after walking for a few minutes, everyone was already in front of them. This is the position of a howitzer battalion, with about a dozen guns, arranged according to the requirements of the drill code. There were seven or eight people busy next to each cannon, but the frequency of firing the cannon was not high, in Feng Xiaochen's opinion, it was a long time before putting a cannon, which was a bit of a taste of singing and harmonizing with the other party.

When Feng Xiaochen and Zhang Heping walked, they saw that the driver who brought them was talking to an officer, Feng Fei stood behind the driver, a little cramped, but his eyes were always looking left and right, looking at the soldiers who were firing artillery on the position. After listening to what the driver said, the officer stepped forward, looked at Feng Fei, and said a series of words in a mumbled manner. Feng Fei, Feng Xiaochen, and Zhang Heping were all dumbfounded, the other party spoke French, and none of them knew French.

The country of Dière used to be a French colony, and the official languages were its own Chinese and French, which Feng Xiaochen had known for a long time. Hesseth and Mundy spoke in half-baked English, but the officer spoke only French

"Excuse me, do you know English?" Feng Fei asked sneeringly.

The officer shook his head, he could understand the word English, and knew what Feng Fei wanted to ask, but he really didn't understand English.

"I'll go back and get Mundy. Feng Xiaochen whispered to Zhang Heping.

"I'm afraid he won't dare to come, right?" Zhang Heping hesitated, he had just promised Mundi not to let him come to the position, and now it was inconvenient to break his promise.

At this time, Feng Fei glanced at the Soviet-made artillery on the position, and blurted out a whim, "So, do you know Russian?"

He said this in a rather jerky Russian.
