Chapter Forty-Eight: Hello, Captain
Fragments of the glass splattered in all directions, and Li May and Spatz had already stared at them like bull's eyes.
"This, this, this is not scientific!"
It took a long time for the US brigadier general to come back to his senses and scream strangely, obviously still a little incredulous. "I must have my eyes glazed, right? How can a bullet bend, this is not at all in line with the common sense of physics! ”
The brigadier general was still trying to find a reason to explain the situation, but he didn't come up with a reason for thinking for a long time, and when Spatz came to his senses, his original suspicion had already turned into exclamation.
"Zhang Yang, such a magical marksmanship was figured out by yourself?"
Zhang Yang nodded, and casually said with a reason: "It can be said that anyway, it was an accident that I used a pistol to achieve this effect, and then I thought it was quite interesting, so I have been studying this technique, and now I am more proficient." ”
While fooling the other party with nonsense, Zhang Yang was a little helpless, this situation is not the first time I have seen it, if you don't use this method, the other party will definitely not give up casually.
"Could it be the martial arts of the East? Or are those legendary ....... secret weapons? ”
A flash of clarity flashed in Spatz's eyes, thinking of Zhang Yang's complexion, and then thought that this might be some kind of skill handed down by Zhang Yangzu, anyway, Chinese have always been used to hiding good things behind their backs, and it seems that this magical marksmanship is not too unusual at this moment.
Until modern times, the distinction between Western medicine and Chinese medicine has always existed, and Western doctors can't figure it out. Whether the acupuncture points mentioned in Chinese medicine exist or not, there is no scientific number that can explain these things clearly. What makes Westerners feel even more magical is the martial arts elements in the 5,000-year-old civilization of China. The miraculous kung fu inside has always made Westerners deeply curious.
Even in recent years, when the situation in Hollywood has been a little bleak, in order to open up the Chinese market, a large number of kung fu elements have been added as gimmicks, and just like this, it has turned a lot of money in China.
Of course, these situations are all later, and Spatz has not yet been exposed to them, but this does not affect him to use his own way to make up for his brain, so as to "understand" this strange phenomenon.
"Okay. I still couldn't believe it, but this magical scene did happen in front of my eyes."
Li Mei could not see any other expression on her face with facial paralysis. But I have to admit the fact that Zhang Yang's bullet will turn, which once again casts a layer of mystery on Zhang Yang, making other people's eyes look at Zhang Yang more and more differently.
It's just that in the next step, this group of generals seems to be interested. I brought a few more rifles for Zhang Yang to demonstrate. Although it is much more difficult than a pistol, the rifle is also within the range that can be used in the spear throwing technique, but the difficulty of controlling zhì is obviously much more difficult than that of a pistol, and the range of angles that can be rotated is also more limited, and the effect of using a pistol is the most obvious on the whole.
This demonstration completely broke the three views of everyone present, and the bullet fired in Zhang Yang's hand completely violated the known laws of physics, at least in their military career for so many years. I've never heard of such a magical marksmanship. Some veterans with good marksmanship may be able to leave it untargeted. And directly use intuition to judge the shooting, which is commonly referred to as "throwing the gun", but their bullet arc is still straight, compared with the bullet fired by the flamboyant "throwing gun technique" does not obey the parabolic principle at all, it is simply the difference between the earth cannon and the rocket.
In any case, the reputation of Zhang Yang has spread, after all, it is not only these bigwigs who are present, the guards at the door are sharp-eyed and sharp-eyed, and they have already quietly noticed this scene, while grinning and gasping for air, while holding back their gossip heart, the news was passed on, and it didn't take long for almost half of the army in London to know that there was a goblin guy with marksmanship among the Americans.
"Have you ever heard that a bullet fired by a man can turn a corner!"
"Nonsense, the bullet will fall when it flies out for a while, isn't the parabola a bend?"
"Turning is not a parabola, but turning according to other trajectories, just like a bullet with an eye, I'm not lying to you, Lieutenant General Spatz has personally witnessed it, but it's evil!"
Talking to each other were several pilots of the Eighth Air Force. The Eighth Air Force was stationed at the airport as the first place after Zhang Yang arrived in London, and the news was also the fastest, of course, one of them also captured a Ju-52, and it also escaped from the German sphere of influence, and also captured two German pilots. Now the two German pilots are still in the territory of the Eighth Air Force, and the special interrogators sent by the British side have not yet made a move, and the other party has poured beans into a bamboo tube and told all the news they knew.
And afterwards, the bearded lieutenant and his entourage received a warm welcome, and people kept asking about Zhang Yang's news, but Zhang Yang had already left Britain at that time.
In the hall that was temporarily used as a command headquarters, Spatz and the others had enough of seeing it before they let Zhang Yang go, and then raised another more important issue. Spatz knocked on the table and said:
"Zhang Yang, I have read your file, you were a soldier of the 107th Division of the Army before you set off this time, but before the mission, you were assigned to the commando team temporarily formed by General de Gaulle and the British government by the 107th Division. As you know, this assault team was almost completely dispersed in the battle not long ago, and the remaining members were also reassigned to other units, and now there is not much left. ”
"In other words, you don't have any team formation on you right now, do you have any ideas, or can I help you pick a troop? If you don't dislike it, how about coming to my Eighth Air Force? ”
It's strange that Zhang Yang can't hear such an invitation from Chiguo, but it was officially said by Spatz, Zhang Yang realized that he was still a loner, the original commando team was completely broken up, and even the number was temporary, probably De Gaulle and the British government made cannon fodder plans when they formed this commando, and they didn't expect them to come back alive.
But this is a good thing for Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang pretended to think for a while, and then directly said his thoughts.
"Thank you for your trust, General, but I'm an infantryman, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with the Eighth Air Force. And this time I was operating with Lieutenant Wheeler's squad, and the relationship was more familiar, and I would like to join Lieutenant Viller's 107th Infantry Regiment if I could. ”
"107 Infantry Regiment?"
There was no resentment in Spatz's voice, and Zhang Yang heard a trace of regret: "Is it our air force that doesn't meet your requirements?" Isn't it better to fly a plane in the sky than to fight to death on the ground under a hail of bullets, right? And who's to say you can't help? The tactic I just mentioned is very good, if you don't fly a plane, you can stay at the headquarters as a staff officer. ”
"You misunderstood, that tactic was only something I came up with in my spare time, and if I was really asked to specialize in this, I would definitely not be able to do it. I think infantry is more suitable for me. ”
Zhang Yang explained a few words helplessly, he didn't expect that he would be favored by Spatz, and was ready to let him stay in the Eighth Air Force. And the reason why Zhang Yang wanted to go to the 107th Infantry Regiment was also very simple, that is, the mission requirements, so it was impossible for him to stay in the Eighth Air Force at all.
"Okay, in that case, I won't force you, if you want to go to the 107th Infantry Regiment, just go, it just so happens that one of their deputy commanders is next door, I'll just say hello to him when the time comes."
"Thank you then." Zhang Yang wiped away the cold sweat.
Spatz failed to win over Zhang Yang, some small regrets, in his opinion, Zhang Yang still has a certain talent, stay by his side and cultivate it, maybe he can teach a second Li Mei in the future? Of course, this is just a casual thought, Li Mei's success in addition to personal aspects, there is also a unique life experience, not everyone can successfully walk to the peak of life according to the same model experience.
After solving the problem of Zhang Yang's ownership, Spatz and Li Mei immediately glanced at each other, and then the U.S. brigadier general also nodded, as if agreeing with something, and then Spatz looked at Zhang Yang again.
"Sergeant Zhang Yang, in view of your outstanding performance this time, I have already submitted an application for your rank promotion to the army, of course I am an air force, otherwise I can directly promote you, but this Brigadier General Morent happens to be the commander of the 16th Airborne Division, and it just so happens that the 107th Infantry Regiment is also under the jurisdiction of the 16th Airborne Division, so it has the right to approve."
"After the joint recommendation of Colonel Li Mei and me, and the personal review and appraisal of Brigadier General Morent, we decided to award you the rank of captain of the army, of course, the report was not so fast, it is estimated that it will take another day, after all, it takes some time to prepare for military medals and other things."
"Thank you, sir...... Wait, you seem to be talking about the captain? ”
Spatz's words made Zhang Yang a little unexpected, he thought of the possibility of promoting the rank, but at most he thought that he was a second lieutenant, barely a lieutenant, but he didn't expect Spatz to give him a big gift!
"That's right, the rank of captain." Spatz blinked.
"But wouldn't that be too ......?"
Zhang Yang was still trying to say something, but Spatz shook his head and said: "I have already found someone to understand your previous affairs, and I am very sorry for the ugly behavior of that captain, this is a shame for us in the United States." Brigadier General Morent has already sent someone to interrogate him, and when the results of the investigation come out, he should be dismissed from his position as an officer and directly expelled from the army, we don't need such scum. ”
"What the hell is going on?"
Zhang Yang's mind was full of question marks. (To be continued......)
