Chapter 732 - If You Miss the Live Bullet, You Will Eat Zero Eggs (Affectionately Calling for a Monthly Pass)
"Of course, I'm not asking you to kill each other, your target will be a small sampan. Every training said, one of your gunboats has 20 chances, of course, this general's flagship has too many guns, so I have 80 chances, no way, who made me your boss, this loss, do you recognize it? I stopped and looked at these students with a smile, and they naturally only recognized.
"Hehe, of course, that is to say, each gun position on each gunboat can attack twice, as long as you hit the small sampan, then, you gunners, you are equivalent to giving up the opportunity to eat eggs, and if you don't hit the target gunner, you can eat delicious eggs, and, if that gunboat, one gun emplacement does not hit the sampan, then, on your mast, you must hang such a flag for me.
If your gunboat didn't hit a single target during the day's training, I'd be glad to tell you that not only did you have to give me eggs all over the ship, but you also had to fly five of these flags! Hang me up for the whole day," I smirked. Well, I'm so happy in my heart. And General Zhang and the others standing behind me were all dumbfounded, but the students in front of me were all looking straight at me with black lines on their faces. It seemed like a barbed tail was sticking out of the back of my buttocks, and two long whirling horns had grown out of my head.
I still walked slowly and slowly two steps before saying loudly: "If you fail the next day, do it according to this, give this general eggs to eat, hang this kind of flag, if there is any gunboat, for three consecutive days, a single shot misses, then I, the head of the Tang Royal Academy, will be on your chest, for you to pin a chic medal, on it, there is a zero egg drawn, including the flagship of General Ben, now, you answer me, who still wants to eat these eggs?!" ”
"I don't want to!" All the students of the twenty-one phalanx roared with great courage. The original greedy expressions of everyone had turned into anger, well, at least when they stared at the pile of eggs and the flag, the eyes of one or two turned to hatred.
"Good!" I nodded, very satisfied with everyone's performance, and waved my hand: "Today, you only have one task, that is, to quickly learn about your gun position as soon as possible, to familiarize yourself with the weapons in your hands as soon as possible, so that it can play its due role in this battle, instead of letting you hold this broken flag and become the laughing stock of my Datang Navy Master and the shame of my Datang Military Academy!" Do you understand? ”
--------------------------------------------------- "Understood! All of them stood tall and straight, and their voices seemed so strong and firm. Now the morale can not be described as high, but can be expressed in boiling, the cadets under the command of their respective captains, began to trot, neatly lined up, towards their own ship, the pier trestle is not more than two feet wide, but there is no trace of congestion and unsmoothness, and the cadets only follow the rhythm of the whistle, and there is no trace of abnormal sound.
General Zhang's arm fell on my shoulder, and when I turned around, the general's thumb was already cocked: "Boy, Niu, the old man has never seen a soldier with this kind of belt, let alone a soldier like this." The old man said that he has gained a lot of knowledge. ”
"Let the general laugh, the last general is just a means that cannot be put on the table. How can it be in everyone's eyes? I smiled and said modestly, this method is probably only effective for these students with a strong sense of collective honor at the Datang Military Academy, as for other troops, we can't say.
"General Fang is too modest. This law not only inspired the soldiers, but also made the whole ship work together, which was really unexpected by the lower officials. At this time, a middle-aged official behind General Zhang stood up and smiled faintly at me.
Liu Renliang, it seems that he has not left the navy yet. I said a little excitedly: "Oh, it turned out to be Lord Liu, hehe, you and I have been separated for more than a year, and now I see my lord, and my demeanor has not changed." ”
General Zhang smirked proudly and pointed to Liu Ren's track: "Beloved nephew, the old man knows that you and the old man have a long history, so I said that I will bring him with me, if there is anything to do, just discuss with him." "It turns out that General Zhang is quite caring about people, and sent me such a liaison officer who can be talked to, which is exactly what I want." In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey the fate. ”
"A few of you, all come to the old man, all come to see the deputy head of the house, from now on, if you have no training, you all need to take turns to go to the gunboat under the command of the deputy head of the house, give me a good look, how the deputy head of the house trains the gunboat, after that, if you don't understand anything, something is wrong, don't blame the old man for his ruthless military law." General Zhang straightened his face and shouted loudly to the dozens of generals behind him very seriously.
"No!" Everyone agreed in unison.
Subsequently, accompanied by me and Xi Junmai, I led General Zhang and his party to visit the gunboat, on the gun deck, General Zhang Da's eyes were ejaculating, and his mouth was stroking the surface of the ship gun with a cold light, the muzzle of the black hole seemed to be able to swallow everything, under the gun body were four wheels, two large wheels in front, and two small wheels in the back. The two small wheels at the back of the guns have been folded off, and special leather cushions have been installed, which can reduce the impact on the hull and deck of the ship when the guns are fired.
This is a three-story artillery deck with a total of ten naval guns. In addition, on the bow of the gunboat's three-tier gun deck, two gun ports that could be sealed were specially opened to prevent a sudden enemy attack, and in the case that there was no time to move the hull to meet the enemy, the enemy could be bombarded directly from the front.
General Zhang is very praising of my way of thinking, of course, who are we? We are the young people who came to Datang from the era of the electronic space shuttle in the later generations, if we don't even have this knowledge, it is better to squat in the thatched house and give ourselves to death.
"Can you try it?" After General Zhang hesitated again and again, he still thought that I made this request, which is naturally no problem, my Datang artillery fleet was originally a model fleet, and its main purpose was to fight, but more importantly, it was to bring new tactical concepts into the Datang Naval Division, so that they could understand that the Naval Division was not only fighting in the small river ditch, but could even be strong enough to occupy and conquer other countries.
--------------------------------------------------- as the artillerymen became familiar with the work to the extreme, in less than a minute, everything was ready, accompanied by a huge roar, only to feel that their ears were clouded, and a puff of gunpowder rose from the muzzle, and then, crowded into the other muzzles to observe, it was not long before they saw a column of water rising in the extreme distance of the turquoise sea. This marks the official start of the debut of the Datang Naval Division's artillery fleet.
A swift car and ship, pulled by a long rope, painted into a red sampan, and on the sampan, a few long poles were specially erected, tied with flying red cloth strips, and was speeding towards the target area, and in a short time, it had reached a distance of more than 1,500 meters from our warship, and soon, the car and ship left the small sampan and quickly escaped from the target area alone. Then the heralds on board waved the signal flag and told us that everything was ready to end.
The captain of the flagship, a school-level instructor of the Datang Navy Academy, was shouting loudly at this moment: "The enemy ship appears on my port side, everyone immediately take up combat posts!" Then, as the command was passed downward, soon the gunners on the ship's gun deck followed my order, and after a while, they quickly ran to the left gun position, cleaned the gun chamber, loaded the cartridge, and released the shells, and the distance surveyor measured the distance and the speed of the opponent and reported loudly: "The distance is 1,500 meters, and the right is moved 1.5 degrees......
By this time, we could already see from the side of the ship a door sticking out of the barrel of the ship. In the sun, there was a cold glow that was silvery white. Slowly lean in the direction of the target.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! I stood on the top deck of the gunboat, and there were some generals and colonels who came to me to study gunboat tactics on a suspension, and everyone was holding binoculars and looking into the distance, and after a few shots, a column of water appeared on the side of the sampan, and unfortunately, none of the shots could hit, except for the sighs of chagrin, there was no second sound and emotion.
I was also very indignant and slapped the side of the ship, the general's battleship has finished the first round, and I haven't even touched the hair of the gunbumb, although eating eggs is nothing for me, on the contrary, I can still get a good reputation for sharing weal and woe with the soldiers, but the problem is that everyone will feel awkward when eating this kind of egg, including me who came up with this bad idea.
Liu Renliang put down the binoculars, pointed to the target ship that was swaying leisurely as far as the eye could see, and smiled at me: "Lord Fang, this seems to be too difficult, such a small ship, even if it is a sharpshooter, I am afraid that it will not be able to hit a single shot, right?" ”
