Chapter 208: Need to Work Harder
At the end of the live-fire training, Captain Niu had a slight smile in his eyes, and he could see the progress of the artillery soldiers.
It's just that when Captain Niu looked at Liu Gen, he could see that Liu Gen had obvious dissatisfaction on his face. Obviously, the instructor Liu Gen was quite dissatisfied with the achievements of the fighters, and when he noticed this, Captain Niu could only smile bitterly in his heart, what could he say?
The requirements for the fighters are high enough, which shows that Liu Gen really wants to make the fighters better, and in Liu Gen's opinion, these fighters can do better. Unfortunately, these fighters were not able to do it. In this regard, Liu Gen was somewhat disappointed in his heart.
"First class, you guys were a little too anxious when you controlled the mortar, and the other gunner's hands shook when you put the shells into the chamber, otherwise the results would definitely be better."
"Second shift, you did a good job, but when placing the mortar, you couldn't find a flat enough place, which will make the accuracy of the shelling decrease."
“……”
Liu Gen pointed out that some of the mistakes made by the soldiers in the operation process can be obviously avoided, and the control of the mortar is to do the most basic things well in order to pursue the accuracy of the mortar. As for the calculation of the angles of shelling, the fighters did quite well.
The form given by Liu Gen before was copied by each of the soldiers, and they memorized it carefully every day. It was also because of this that these fighters were able to calculate the angle required for the shelling so quickly.
"Roots, the fighters still have improved, and I believe that as long as they continue to train seriously, then they will improve again. I want to thank you for the fact that the warriors have been able to improve so much. Looking at the six who patiently pointed out the mistakes of the warriors, Captain Niu spoke.
Liu Gen shook his head, "Captain Niu, you don't have to thank me, we are all doing this for the sake of the soldiers, all so that they can survive after they go to the battlefield." Besides, Captain Niu, you also do a lot, if you didn't get some meat every day, the soldiers' bodies might not be able to support it a long time ago. ”
"Now that the fighters have improved to a certain extent, they just need to continue to train according to the method, and they will continue to improve. The intensity of training in the past few days is a bit high, and the fighters' bodies should be a little unable to continue to support, and they need to slow down some pace. ”
Captain Niu listened carefully to Liu Gen's words, and the training in the past few days let him know that Liu Gen still has a hand when training the soldiers. For Liu Gen's words, he will naturally keep paying attention to them, looking at Liu Gen in front of him, Captain Niu really doesn't want Liu Gen to leave the artillery team.
Before he saw Liu Gen, Captain Niu knew that Liu Gen was very powerful, but when Liu Genzhen came to the artillery team and saw Liu Gen's specific strength, Captain Niu had more appreciation and satisfaction with Liu Gen, which made Captain Niu want to keep Liu Gen, but helplessly, Liu Gen still needed to return to the independent regiment.
For this matter, Captain Niu has been running to the brigade commander for the past few days, wanting to get the brigade commander to open his mouth and leave Liu Gen behind. But it's a pity that the brigade commander has never let go, he promised Liu Gen that he would not transfer him to the brigade headquarters until this battle, and if he regrets it now, Li Yunlong's kid will definitely complain a lot.
"Genzi, you have been in our artillery team for so long, and I haven't seen you shoot. Now there is still one shell left, why don't you show your hand to your comrades? Captain Niu asked with some expectation, he also wanted to know how far Liu Gen could control the mortar.
Feeling the expectation in Captain Niu's eyes, Liu Gen thought for a moment and nodded, he also had a little itchy hands. Since there is still one shell left, Liu Gen doesn't mind coming to shoot it himself, he didn't let himself be idle during this time, and when the soldiers were training, he was also trained. Liu Gen also wanted to know how much progress he had made, and when he came to a mortar, Liu Gen began to inspect it.
"Next, it will be up to our instructor Liu Gen to shoot a shot, comrades must watch it carefully, don't miss such an opportunity." Captain Niu said to the soldiers.
Without Captain Niu saying anything, the soldiers of the artillery team moved quickly, they came to Liu Gen's surroundings and carefully watched Liu Gen's every move. The mere fact that Liu Gen inspected the mortars made many soldiers blush, and they did not conduct such a serious inspection before carrying out the shelling. And now Liu Gen's seriousness is to teach the fighters a good lesson, and they will definitely change in the future.
After inspecting the mortar, Liu Gen adjusted the position of the mortar slightly to make it more stable and avoid affecting the accuracy during the shelling.
"Cannonballs!"
Yun Gui, who was behind Liu Gen, hurriedly sent the last mortar shell to Liu Gen's hand, and took the shell, Liu Gen's hand was very steady and fast. In the blink of an eye, the shell was placed into the chamber. With a bang, the shell flew out of the chamber and, after a few seconds of flight, landed on a hillside two thousand five hundred meters away from the artillery team, and a tree on it was directly blown down by the shell.
"It's worthy of an instructor, how can you hit so far?"
"Is the instructor targeting that tree?"
“……”
The soldiers began to talk one after another, and they looked at Liu Gen with blazing eyes, and they were all impressed by Liu Gen's artillery skills, and they were able to accurately hit at a distance of 2,500 meters, which undoubtedly fully explained Liu Gen's strength. Captain Niu, who was beside Liu Gen, had a hint of horror in his eyes, being able to accurately hit such a distant target, Liu Gen was a little too powerful? You must know that Liu Gen's first shot is almost about to reach the limit range of an 81mm mortar.
Although the 81mm mortar has a range of 2,800 meters, in fact, when fighting, it will choose to shell at about 1,000 meters, so as to maintain sufficient accuracy. And now Liu Gen can do this, which already means that when shelling with the enemy, Liu Gen can inflict precise strikes on the enemy, and the enemy cannot accurately hit Liu Gen, which is not a big advantage!
Now most of the artillery of the Eighth Route Army will choose to close the distance between them and the devils as close as possible when they are fighting, and then launch artillery bombardments. Only by closing the distance can we make up for the lack of accuracy of the artillery of the Eighth Route Army.
Captain Niu could think that if Liu Gen was able to accurately hit a target at a distance of 2,500 meters with a mortar, then he would definitely get the attention of the artillery regiment of the headquarters, and some powerful artillerymen like Liu Gen were a little too few! Thinking that Liu Gen would come to the brigade artillery team at the end of this battle, Captain Niu became more and more happy in his heart, as long as the soldiers could learn a little from Liu Gen, then the combat effectiveness of the artillery team could be improved.
Feeling the gaze of the soldiers, Liu Gen frowned slightly, he looked down at the mortar in front of him, but he was a little dissatisfied. In terms of artillery specialization, he has already reached the top, which means that Liu Gen has the ability to control all kinds of guns to hit the extreme range, but it is not easy to do this, at least Liu Gen has not been able to do it now.
"We need to work harder." Liu Gen muttered in a low voice and said with a wry smile.
