Of course, Yang Qingsong didn't know what the chiefs were talking about in the command car, but today was a shock to him, and that shock was enough to subvert all his perceptions of the troops.

Once upon a time, the pictures that could only be seen in Yankee movies really happened in front of their eyes and in the troops they served the most.

Simulating a request from the forward troops, the 105th Artillery Company of the 3rd Battalion immediately galloped out to carry out a covered direct fire on the target area during the march. Two of the vehicles were responsible for accurate firing at armored targets in the target area, using tail stabilized shelling armor-piercing shells, and the enemy armored targets were still in motion. There was no suspense, all the shells hit the target.

The whole process took only one minute and 27 seconds, and a platoon-level fire position was overwhelmed by artillery fire and lost its threatening power.

He and a few other recruits were fortunate enough to be assigned to the third battalion, and the other recruits were already able to train with the veterans while they were still training individually. After all, the officers and men of the third battalion are mainly technology-oriented, pure infantry, and there is only one platoon.

If it was Yang Qingsong half a year ago, he would not have any intuitive feelings about this minute and twenty-seven seconds, or too much inner feeling. Now Yang Qingsong, because of his relatively solid cultural foundation, was assigned to the third battalion, which has relatively strict requirements for knowledge structure, and after a short training, he knows the specific situation of artillery support.

Generally speaking, the most powerful battalion-level support artillery of the motorized infantry unit is the Type 87 82mm mortar, which is the kind of portable type and is handled by a gun squad. The Chinese Army has a tradition of attaching importance to artillery, from 155-mm howitzers and long-range multiple rocket launchers of more than 300 mm caliber to 82-mm or even 60-mm mortars equipped with motorized infantry artillery batteries.

According to the previous command system, the infantry company requested artillery support from a higher level and requested to go to the battalion headquarters command post first, and the battalion headquarters command post issued an order to the artillery company to carry out artillery fire strikes on the target area. Later, the artillery company, machine gun company, and anti-chemical company were broken up in wartime, and they were assigned to infantry companies in squads. Therefore, artillery support of caliber below 82 mm, mixed infantry companies can be done on their own.

In this way, the problem arises, once the infantry company requests artillery support, then it must be regimental or even divisional firepower. It means that this will have to go through at least three layers of command organs, and then go to the artillery units, and the artillery units will respond, and it is very likely that it will be ten minutes or even half an hour later.

On the modern battlefield, some skirmishes can be decided in an hour or two. This kind of response speed simply cannot keep up with the changes of the times.

Therefore, when he learned that the three battalions could provide artillery support for the forward troops and cover the target area in the shortest time of less than a minute and a half, Yang Qingsong's surprise was self-evident.

He is a soldier with a lot of independent thinking ability, and it can be said that all aspects of a good soldier can be reflected in him. Therefore, his way of thinking about problems is also relatively formal. It's like a document printed out in regular script, not handwritten.

Yang Qingsong followed the 105-caliber gun, a mobile artillery system with an angular turret and slender barrel carried on an eight-wheeled armored vehicle, which was called a black and thick, figurative and obscene nickname by veterans.

The commander, the gun commander, the driver, the loader, a crew of four members, can actually accommodate five members, and Yang Qingsong is the reserve gun commander. In fact, the mobile artillery system uses a third-generation automatic loader, which does not require a loader at all, but, based on many examples of past battles, it is concluded that it is the soldier who has not been killed in battle. As a result, the position of loader was retained, and the function of a signal soldier was retained.

In fact, loaders need to master not only communication skills, but also skills required for the rest of the position, and must be familiar with the basics. This allows the space to be filled in the event that other personnel are killed or wounded.

Therefore, the gold content of the loader here is higher than that of other positions. Or to be precise, it should be called an all-rounder.

Yang Qingsong must first learn the skills of the gun commander, and then for the driver, by receiving the commander training, so that after that, he can sit in the position of the loader, and after more than half a year of study, he can be arranged in the post of gun commander or driver. After one year, there will be a rotation.

Suffice it to say, the loader is a reserve commander, and his status is higher than that of the gun commander, which is not the same as an ordinary armored unit. In general, from high to low, the commander of the car and the commander of the gun. But in the 107 regiment, the loader had a special place.

Li Mu's reason for doing this is very simple - it is convenient to quickly expand the troops!

With enough skilled officers and soldiers, one battalion can be expanded into two battalions, and one regiment can be expanded into two regiments, that is, one brigade!

Li Mu's goal is to build a strong force, and possibly, he will try to create the army's first light and rapid combat group army!

Yang Qingsong is very energetic.

He didn't care that the chief was inspecting, he pulled the deputy squad leader, that is, the artillery commander, to ask questions, men like cars, and armored cars are even more big toys for soldiers.

Yang Qingsong asked the artillery commander, "Deputy squad, how much does this car cost?" Do you know?"

"I heard tens of millions, I don't know the specifics. "In the cabin, the gun commander took Yang Qingsong to draw and write on the drawings, summarizing the ballistic parameters of the shot.

"That's better than a luxury sports car. Yang Qingsong smashed his mouth.

The artillery commander raised his head and smiled, "Sports cars, girls, we are black and thick, one foot on the accelerator, no Cadilla ox cart is useless!"

"That is, as soon as the cannon passes, you have to sing about conquest. "Yang Qingsong is full of spirit.

A cheetah with a military license plate can abuse all kinds of luxury cars in society to the point of being landless, let alone this kind of combat equipment. Tens of millions, in terms of black and coarse, I'm afraid it's more than that. The black big thick is definitely much more expensive than the handsome guy, and the barrel alone is so thick.

The handsome guy is another name for the Type 09 eight-wheeled infantry chariot, and it is also a nickname given by the officers and soldiers of the 107th Regiment, which is much more civilized than the simple and rough nickname of Hei Da Bu that challenges human nerves. At the same time, it also shows that the officers and men of the first and second battalions are not as dirty as the officers and men of the third battalion.

However, the third battalion then had a nickname - the dirty battalion, Li Jiujiu in addition to the baby-faced battalion commander, there is also a title of the filthy battalion commander, shouting and shouting, he will become the commander of the fifth battalion, and the 107th regiment does not have the unit of the fifth battalion.

"Deputy squad, when do you think I will be able to shoot?" Yang Qingsong asked.

The gun commander squinted at him, sneered and said, "The hair hasn't grown yet, just wait." ”

Yang Qingsong immediately smiled awkwardly.
