"How do we compete? Do you want to hit a fixed target? In the training ground, Liu Gen asked.

Du Jie glanced at the environment of the training ground, and in this training ground, he felt extremely simple. With such a rudimentary training ground, what else can you do if you don't shoot a fixed target? Du Jie didn't think that he could bring some surprises to himself in this training ground.

"Let's hit a fixed target, test twice, once to test the accuracy, and the other to test the distance." Du Jie said in a deep voice.

The brigade commander frowned slightly, according to Du Jie's method of competition, it was inevitably a bit too wasteful of shells. At present, the Huangyadong Arsenal is able to produce the artillery shells needed by the units of the Eighth Route Army, but these shells are all produced by the workers of the rear arsenal. Four shells were used in one test, a little 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 shells, maybe for your wealthy Jin Sui army, this shell is nothing." ”

"But for our Eighth Route Army, every shell is extremely important, and in battle, one shell can play too great a role."

Some officers in the Jin Sui Army Exchange Group laughed softly, and they couldn't help but feel a little more superior, even if the Eighth Route Army killed a lot of devils? In terms of equipment, they are too far behind the Jin Sui Army, even if Liu Gen's artillery is really very powerful, there are not enough shells for him to use in the Eighth Route Army.

For artillerymen, if there are not enough shells, then it will not be able to give full play to its value.

"Is it too much? Four shells are not much, and our artillery regiment conducts live-fire training on weekdays, and there are too many more than that. Du Jie frowned and said.

Liu Gen was a little helpless, the Jin Sui Army was really wealthy, if the Eighth Route Army had so many shells, then even if the devils entered the base area to sweep, they would not dare to be too arrogant. The reason why the devils dared to resist the continuous sweep of the Japanese base areas was that the Eighth Route Army was poorly equipped and could not be compared with them in terms of firepower.

"Too many!"

"Well, I'll do a bombardment, and if you can do what I did, I'll lose." Liu Gen thought for a moment and thought of a solution.

Du Jie was slightly stunned, a look of annoyance appeared on his face, from Liu Gen's words, it seemed that Liu Gen didn't care about his opponent, what did it mean as long as he could do it? Du Jie didn't understand why Liu Gen was so confident, even if Liu Gen had some strength, he shouldn't be able to match him, an artilleryman who came out of the artillery school.

"Looks like you're confident! Well, I'm going to see what gives you confidence! Du Jie said angrily.

Liu Gen smiled lightly, he didn't care about Du Jie's words, he believed in his own ability, and he also believed that his skills in artillery were incomparable to Du Jie and others.

His eyes swept over the training ground, the training ground of the artillery team was not small, but for Liu Gen, this training ground was still a little small, so he could not spread it.

"Brigade commander, please also ask the comrades to clear the area in the direction of 12 o'clock and make sure that there is no one there." Liu Gen said to the brigade commander.

The brigade commander nodded, understanding what Liu Gen meant, before carrying out the shelling, it was very important to determine whether there were people in that area, in case of any accidental injury, it would be very troublesome. Besides, the brigade headquarters are all soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and Liu Gen doesn't want to have any soldiers injured due to the contest between himself and Du Jie.

"Trouble the Jin Suijun to find a fixed target 1,500 meters away." Liu Gen said again.

chose to let the officers in the Jin Sui Army Exchange Group do this, Liu Gen naturally wanted 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, then Liu Gen did not want any problems.

Du Jie was shocked in his heart, he couldn't believe the number Liu Gen said, fifteen hundred meters? With the assistance of other fighters and optical instruments for special ranging, it is not difficult to hit a target at a distance of 1,500 meters. But Du Jie saw that the mortar to be used next had no optical instruments on it.

In other words, Liu Gen had to measure the distance with his own naked eye to ensure that he could accurately hit a target 1,500 meters away.

Chu Yunfei and the others also had obvious surprise on their faces, even if they were not professional artillerymen, they also knew what a distance of 1,500 meters meant, such a distance was not at all within the reach of ordinary people's eyes. What's more, Liu Gen doesn't have any ranging optical instruments 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 a good reason? Many people have such thoughts, and if this is the case, then Liu Gen's choice to shell a target 1,500 meters away can be explained.

Chu Yunfei couldn't help but look at Liu Gen, wanting 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 that he would fail at all. Looking at Liu Gen, Chu Yunfei inexplicably had a little more confidence in Liu Gen, maybe Liu Gen could really do this!

"As artillery, a target at a distance of 1,500 meters, we all know exactly what it means. Unless it is really top-notch artillery, it is not so easy to hit a target at a distance of 1500 meters. ”

"I don't think you can do it, I can say for sure, none of us can do it to this extent! If you can really hit, then I don't have to shell anymore, I will just admit defeat. But it's too difficult, and I don't think you, a young man, can do it! Du Jie looked at Liu Gen and said with a serious expression.

Du Jie knows his own ability, he usually deals with targets within a kilometer, and targets a kilometer away, and can only rely on continuous test firing to ensure the hit rate of artillery shells.

Now that Liu Gen, a young man, wants to hit a target 1,500 meters away, how could Du Jie believe it?

"Open your eyes and look! Our old captain said that if he can do it, then he will definitely be able to do it. Ning Ze couldn't help but speak.

Ning Ze admired Liu Gen quite a lot, not to mention a target 1,500 meters away, even if it was a farther target, he believed that Liu Gen could do it.

Some soldiers of the artillery team sent mortars up, and this time Liu Gen and Du Jie competed with 82mm mortars, and with its range, it was enough to ensure that Liu Gen could hit targets 1,500 meters away. Next to the mortar, there was a shell, and the fighters of the artillery team were very confident in Liu Gen and had no idea of preparing a second shell at all.

Liu Gen squatted down, stroked his hands over the mortar, and carefully inspected the various parts 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, and the mortar is not stained with the slightest dust, and it is faintly shiny when wiped by the soldiers.

Because those officers of the Jin Sui Army had not yet determined what target Liu Gen was going to hit, Liu Gen could only wait patiently, which made Liu Gen a little helpless, with his ability, as long as the target was determined, then he could fire directly. Now these Jin Sui troops have spent so much time discussing an artillery target, which makes Liu Gendu a little impatient.

"Hurry up! I don't have that much time to waste! Ten minutes later, there was still no result discussed, and Liu Gen could only speak.

Even if Liu Gen didn't have much to do in the brigade headquarters, he didn't want to waste his time on this kind of thing, and with this time, he could teach the soldiers of the brigade artillery team a little more. Liu Gen was a little puzzled why a small shelling target would be discussed so far without results, and he had been squatting on the ground, and Liu Gen was a little sleepy.

Chu Yunfei saw the impatience on Liu Gen's face, and he was also a little helpless, the other officers had not discussed what the result was, which made him have no good way, who let many of these officers have a higher rank than him? No matter how strong Chu Yunfei's ability is, he can't say anything about such a small matter.

No longer caring when these officers would be able to discuss the results, Liu Gen got up, he came to the artillery soldiers, and seized the time to explain some artillery theories to them, and at the same time helped these soldiers answer the accumulated questions.

Seeing that Liu Gen didn't seem to take this contest to heart at all, Du Jie was a little helpless, could he really be so weak? didn't even get Liu Gen's attention? Du Jie looked at the officers who were still discussing, as an artillery officer, he had always acted very neatly, and there would not be too much delay at all.

Looking at the officers who were discussing now, Du Jie suddenly had no intention of continuing to compete with Liu Gen, and he realized that the fact that he took the initiative to compete with Liu Gen may have already become a 'monkey show' in the eyes of many people. The target of the shelling that these people are discussing is just to make this 'monkey show' look more beautiful.

It was only at this time that Du Jie noticed that Brigade Commander Chen of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army did not know when he disappeared, leaving only his own guards to receive him. Obviously, Brigade Commander Chen had long affirmed the result of this contest and was full of confidence in the young Liu Gen.

Du Jie looked at the other artillery officers who came together, and found that they were also somewhat excluded, how could these artillery officers, who acted in a completely different style from ordinary officers, easily fit into those people? Noticing this, Du Ge simply discussed with the other artillery officers, and walked towards the location of the artillery soldiers together.

Du Jie and the others wanted to listen to Liu Gen's guidance to the soldiers of the artillery team, and the really powerful artillery could be seen from the guidance of the soldiers.

After coming to the surroundings of the artillery soldiers, Du Jie and the others did not say anything directly, they listened carefully to Liu Gen's explanation for the artillery soldiers. At the beginning, Du Jie and the others were in the mentality of looking for trouble, but the content explained by Liu Gen did not make them find any flaws, let alone any problems.

With the passage of time, Du Jie and the others did not have the idea of looking for trouble, as artillerymen, they still had some understanding of the theory of artillery. Du Jie and others were a little helpless to find that what Liu Gen explained was not only useful to the soldiers of the artillery team, but also useful to them.

At least after listening to Liu Gen's explanation, Du Jie and they have gained a lot, which is undoubtedly their improvement.

Chu Yunfei, who was staying in the exchange group, couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he noticed the situation of Du Jie and the other artillery officers, and on the faces of Du Jie and the others, he saw a look of gain. Turning his head to look at the other officers who were still discussing the target of the shelling, Chu Yunfei suddenly had no intention of continuing to discuss, there was no need for this contest to continue.

From the changes of 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 with the dog temper of Du Jie and these artillery officers, how could they be so quiet?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid there is no need for us to continue the discussion, the result of the contest is already very obvious." Chu Yunfei opened his mouth to remind.

The other officers were a little puzzled, but when they looked in the direction Chu Yunfei pointed, these officers understood what Chu Yunfei meant. From the state of Du Jie and the others, these officers all understood, they were not stupid, and naturally knew what this meant.

Obviously, before Liu Gen could carry out the shelling, Du Jie and the others chose to admit defeat, otherwise how could they listen so energetically?

Without waiting for Chu Yunfei and the others to say anything, Du Jie and the others each raised questions to ask Liu Gen, as artillerymen, they also encountered a lot of problems, some of which had not been solved. Now that Liu Gen is here, Du Jie and the others naturally want to seize this opportunity so that they can gain more.

Liu Gen did not treat Du Jie and others differently, and after listening to the questions raised by Du Jie and others, he also answered them seriously. Liu Gen knew that he answered the questions of Du Jie and others, and Du Jie and they would definitely gain a lot, but he believed that the soldiers of the artillery team would gain more.

Compared with the soldiers of the artillery team, Du Jie and the others still have a lot of advantages, at least they have a lot of combat experience, and the shells that were fired out by them were not a hundred, but only dozens of rounds.

If possible, Liu Gen also hopes that Du Jie and others can teach some experience to the soldiers of the artillery team, so that the soldiers of the artillery team can improve more.

Time passed in Liu Gen's continuous explanation, and when the cooking class announced that he was going to dinner, Liu Gen stopped continuing to explain. During this period, Du Jie and the others never said anything about the competition with Liu Gen, and after listening to Liu Gen's explanation in the afternoon, they all clearly understood the gap between themselves and Liu Gen, so they naturally did not mention anything about the competition.

After Liu Gen stopped explaining, Du Jie and the others were still a little reluctant, it is very rare to have such an excellent artilleryman as Liu Gen, and it was not easy to meet one, where could Liu Gen be easily let go? Du Jie and the others, who originally thought that the conditions of the Eighth Route Army were difficult, had no idea at this time, no matter how arduous it was, they would continue to stay here for a while.

Liu Gen could clearly see the changes in Du Jie and the others, he didn't have too many ideas, and it was good to save one more shell.
