"Eight hundred meters away, one shot, fire"

Tang Ming held the cannonball in both hands, and there was only the calmness of Gu Jing Wubo in his eyes.

Then he took a deep breath, held his breath and did not exhale, and then placed the shell firmly on the barrel, the tail of which had been placed in the barrel, during which the shell did not touch the inner chamber of the barrel at all.

His hand was as steady as a precision instrument.

Then the breath he held was reported along with the data, and at the same time, his fingers retracted, and the cannonball slid steadily into the barrel.

Bang···

The firing pin at the bottom of the barrel activated the primer at the base of the mortar shell, and then the cartridge exploded, and the high-pressure gas fired the shell into the distance at a speed of one hundred and sixty meters per second.

Whew...

The sound of a unique mortar shell cutting through the air sounded, and in the eyes of everyone, a huge cloud of smoke rose from the center of the target eight hundred meters away.

Then, the explosion came as expected

Boom...

"800 meters accurately hit the bull's-eye, amazing, Tang Company Commander" Zhang Nuoyan was the first to applaud, and then everyone also applauded.

"The main thing is that Brother Tang Ming's cannon and shells are of good enough quality," shook his head, Tang Ming said.

The first hit of 800 meters is quite difficult for a 60-caliber mortar, even if he is an experienced and experienced man.

There is no rifling in the barrel of the mortar, and the shell cannot maintain stability in high-speed flight with the help of rotation, so even if there is a tail to fly steadily, its accuracy is lower than that of the barrel gun, and 800 meters has reached the medium range of this mortar, according to his estimate, he needs two rounds to hit accurately.

One shot is positionally adjusted, and the next shot is accurately hit.

The main reason for being able to accurately hit the mortar itself is that the production accuracy of the mortar itself is extremely high, and the shell and mortar fit tightly, which creates the incident of accurate hit of 800 meters.

Even with Tang Ming's prediction, within 1,200 meters, he can make a starting hit.

"A good gunner really needs a good gun"

Silently, Tang Ming exclaimed in his heart.

"Regiment commander, the second pillar technique is not much worse than mine, let him try it too, there are exactly two cannons" Putting away his cannon, he said to Zhang Lianshun behind him.

Not long ago, he officially enlisted in the 733 Independent Regiment and became the commander of the artillery company directly under the regiment.

"Okay," Zhang Lianshun nodded.

"Good performance, the 800-meter starter hits, this cannon is yours" Tang Ming gave a wave of pressure to the second pillar.

"Regiment commander, wait, in another half a year, I will be the most skilled gunner in the regiment" The second pillar opened the second box with the gun, and stiffened his head at his company commander.

After setting up the cannon, Erzhu picked up the cannonball and began to aim, and after spending a moment looking at it, he put it down.

Bang····

With the launch of the second shell, a cloud of smoke rose from the distant target again, again from the bull's-eye.

It's just that the time for the two pillars to aim is a little longer than Tang Ming's.

"Haha, the first hit of the 800-meter shot, now the little devil machine gun is in trouble"

After getting two good guns and two top gunners in one day, Zhang Lianshun was already smiling from ear to ear at this time.

"Let's go, go back to the regiment headquarters, go change clothes, and then I'll call a meeting of my regimental company commander-level cadres, and everyone will get to know each other."

Zhang Promise arranged the follow-up things.

"By the way, Brother Nuo, where is the king? I'm looking for something with him."

On the way back, Luo Yun asked Brother Nuo.

"He is in a battalion and a company, and the station is Dazhuang Village, so you don't need to look for him, they will come over in the afternoon," Zhang Nuoyan replied.

"Good"

Luo Yun closed the panel that automatically popped up and nodded.

······

"Final Round"

"Fifty-five meter target, shooting"

At the sound of the company commander's order, Wang He held the earthen gun made by the blacksmith in the regiment and pulled the trigger on the wooden target fifty meters away, while beside him, there were six other people who were also holding the earthen gun to aim.

The muzzle of the heavy iron earthen gun spewed thick smoke, and an oval iron-tipped bullet hit the bull's-eye fifty meters away.

Seven iron projectiles fired at the opposite wooden rake in one volley, and in the smoke formed by the burning of thick black powder, the seven men put down their guns, and their hands brushed away the smoke in front of them, trying to see the target in the distance.

Among them, Wang He and the other person did not squint, and after taking a look, they lowered their heads and wiped the gun in their hands attentively, while the other five people stretched their necks and looked at the target in the distance.

A few days ago, the regiment held a big marksmanship contest and asked each company to select marksmanship masters.

The elected masters will gather at the regimental headquarters to train marksmanship together, and eventually the top ten in the regiment with the best marksmanship will form an elite shooting squad together, which has the same status as the pistol assault team in the regiment, that is, the treatment of a company.

And most importantly, as long as you can participate in this training, you can eat fragrant pork every day, which is the most attractive thing for everyone.

However, there are only three places in a battalion and a company at most, and the first two places have already been determined, and the remaining five people will compete for the last spot, this shot is the last shot, and only a hit will have a chance, and if it misses the target, the opportunity will be lost.

"Wang He 5 Rings"

"Shen Dajian 9 Rings"

"The rest are all off target"

After the company commander reported the shooting results of everyone, several people who had just missed the target sighed and complained.

"Fifty-five meters, it's too difficult to hit such a small target with an earthen gun"

"yes, the ballistics of the earth gun are too floating, there is no way to aim, and I don't know how these two guys hit, and they hit every time"

"Hey, people have talent, let's practice bayonets well, so as not to waste bullets"

"There is not much gap between us and them, practice more, maybe there will be a chance next time."

“····”

"Wang He and Shen Dajian stayed, and the rest returned to the team"

"Don't be discouraged by others, the next test will be in a month's time, and if you want to be able to eat meat every day, you can practice marksmanship and do more gun practice."

Comforting the eliminated people, Wu An, the commander of the first battalion and one company, said with a smile to the two people who stayed.

"Wait and follow me to the regiment headquarters, where you have to train with the shooting masters selected by the rest of the company, next time you will use real guns and ammunition, remember to behave well, don't embarrass the company"

"Wang He, you have a very high shooting talent, but your physical fitness is too poor, you have to exercise more physical fitness in the regiment headquarters, Shen Dajian, you also have to work hard"

"Go back and pack your things, we'll leave in half an hour"

"Yes, company commander" The two saluted Wu An.
