After seeing Xiao Li leave, Captain Niu wanted Liu Gen to speak a few words for the soldiers, but Liu Gen refused.

Liu Gen knew that he had not stayed in the artillery team for a long time, and he had not yet learned the specific situation of the soldiers in the artillery team, so it was naturally unnecessary to say a few words about this kind of thing. If he can, Liu Gen is still willing to spend his time on more meaningful things.

Seeing that Liu Gen was really not going to say anything, Captain Niu was a little helpless, he knew that many soldiers in the artillery team had heard of Liu Gen's achievements, and even said that there were still many soldiers who regarded Liu Gen as a target. For the soldiers of the artillery team, Liu Gen's achievements are enough to be admired by them.

If Liu Gen could say a few words, the soldiers would probably be more motivated in training, but if Liu Gen was unwilling, Captain Niu would not force him. Captain Niu believes that once the soldiers know Liu Gen's identity, then with Liu Gen's presence, even if he doesn't say anything, it can play a big role.

Thinking of Liu Gen's achievements, Captain Niu was a little envious in his heart, he had been an artillery soldier for so many years, and it really didn't seem to be as many as Liu Gen's achievements. There is no way, the devil's artillery is too powerful, and the artillery of the Eighth Route Army is too weak, so naturally they don't dare to confront it.

"Company Commander Liu, let me introduce you to the specific situation of the artillery team." Captain Niu said.

Liu Gen nodded, as an instructor of the artillery team, he also needs to understand the specific situation of the artillery team, and then help the soldiers to train and improve. As soon as he arrived at the artillery company, Liu Gen only saw the performance of the soldiers in this training, and the information he learned was somewhat incomplete.

"The artillery team of the brigade headquarters has a total of 300 people, and 5 mountain guns, 6 Type 92 infantry guns, and 7 81mm mortars were captured from the devils. Our artillery brigade has captured only two sets of sights, and some of the soldiers can only rely on the jumping eye method (thumb measurement method), and it is difficult to get accurate distances. ”

"This also makes it difficult for our artillery team to effectively kill and injure devil artillery when facing them. In order to be able to effectively kill and injure the devils, the fighters can only choose to get as close to the enemy as possible during the battle, so that the power of these cannons can be brought into play. Captain Niu looked at Liu Gen and said with an ugly face.

Liu Gen nodded, he understood Captain Niu's mood, and chose to push the artillery into the position as much as possible, which undoubtedly meant that the soldiers of the artillery team needed to take greater risks. Such an attack undoubtedly means that the soldiers of the artillery team will have more casualties.

"Captain Niu, with the number of artillery pieces our artillery team has, it should belong to the battalion level, right?" Liu Gen asked with some curiosity.

Captain Niu was slightly stunned, and he didn't know why Liu Gen asked like this, but he still nodded and said: "Yes, our artillery team belongs to the battalion level, and it was called the artillery team before to prevent the bosses of the division headquarters from being greedy. ”

"After all, there is only one artillery battalion in the division headquarters, and our brigade is directly called an artillery battalion, which is somewhat problematic. However, in February 39, the division headquarters also approved the establishment of an artillery battalion directly under our brigade. The reason why it is still called an artillery team is only due to the fact that the soldiers at the brigade headquarters are used to shouting. ”

Liu Gen understood, it turned out to be the case, he thought that the artillery team of the brigade headquarters would not be too large? Who would have thought that the artillery corps of the brigade headquarters was a battalion formation, and also had mountain artillery captured from devils?

In Liu Gen's view, the biggest advantage of the 75mm mountain gun is still in the firing range, but I don't know which model the brigade headquarters' five mountain guns are.

"Captain Niu, can you take me to see the mountain artillery of the artillery team?" Liu Gen looked at Captain Niu beside him and couldn't help but ask.

Captain Niu laughed, from Liu Gen's expression, he could see that Liu Gen was a pure artilleryman, otherwise he would not be so anxious to see the mountain artillery of the artillery team. In the independent regiment, Liu Gen couldn't get in touch with the mountain artillery, and now that the artillery team has the mountain artillery of the devil, Liu Gen naturally wanted to study it.

"Okay, I'll take you." Captain Niu said with a smile.

Under the leadership of Captain Niu, Liu Gen walked towards the rear of the artillery team, where all the artillery of the artillery team was hidden. Liu Gen was a little impatient, hoping to see the mountain artillery of the artillery team as soon as possible. The most important thing is that Liu Gen wants to know whether the mountain artillery in the artillery team has a devil's 94-style mountain artillery.

There are three kinds of mountain guns equipped by the devils, the 41 75mm mountain gun, with a range of 6,000 meters; Type 94 75mm mountain gun, with a firing range of 8,300 meters; And the last one is the 99-type 150mm mountain gun, which is one of the devil's heavy artillery, with a range of 7,500 meters!

"This is where all the artillery of our artillery team is hidden." Ten minutes later, Captain Niu stopped and pointed to a cave.

Liu Gen looked at this cave, his eyes were obviously hot, and he had an urge to rush directly into it.

"Let's go, I'll take you in, I see you can't wait." Captain Niu said with a smile.

Soon, Liu Gen and the others walked into the cave, which was guarded by warriors. Passing past these soldiers, Liu Gen could see that all the artillery of the artillery team was placed here, the Type 92 infantry gun, the 81mm mortar, and the mountain artillery that Liu Gen wanted to see the most.

His eyes swept over the five mountain cannons that were placed, and Liu Gen's eyes lit up slightly, "There are actually two devil-type mountain cannons here?" ”

"Haha, I didn't expect Company Commander Liu to have your eyes quite accurate, that's right, these two 94-type mountain guns are the treasures of our artillery team, and they are rarely used in ordinary battles." Captain Niu said with a smile.

Liu Gen nodded, the 94-type mountain cannon weighed more than 500 kilograms, and it was quite inconvenient to transport. What's more, the battles of the 386 Brigade on weekdays are small-scale, and they need to be fought quickly, and it is naturally unnecessary to use such heavy mountain artillery.

"How? Is Company Commander Liu still satisfied with these mountain artillery? Captain Niu looked at Liu Gen and asked with a smile.

Liu Gen nodded seriously, naturally satisfied, that is quite satisfied, to be able to have a mountain artillery, as long as the opportunity is right, it is enough to wrestle with the artillery version of the devil. It's just that Liu Gen doesn't know how the soldiers of the artillery team are, and whether there is a problem with controlling these mountain artillery.

"In this battle, our artillery team should use all our belongings, and I don't know how much we can bring back in the end." Captain Niu said in a somewhat depressed mood.

Thinking of this battle, Captain Niu felt a little uneasy in his heart, the devil's artillery is not weak, compared with the devil, the artillery team of the 386 brigade is still too weak, and if it fights head-on, I am afraid it is not the devil's opponent.

Seeing Captain Niu's gloomy expression, Liu Gen hurriedly comforted: "Captain Niu, you must have confidence in the soldiers of the artillery team, the soldiers train so hard and don't really fight a few battles, how do you know that they are not the opponents of the devil artillery?" ”
