Chapter 673

Lin Yi got on the command vehicle of the artillery company, and soon rushed to the training ground for live ammunition shooting. As the shells were fired one by one, the shells basically hit the target.

Lin Yi looked at the time displayed by the stopwatch in his hand. From the discovery of the target, to the construction of the position, to the attack hit, the results were all excellent. This change is really quite big.

So he nodded: "That's right, if you Paolian can maintain this result, I will praise you by name at the camp meeting next week."

Then he stood up and looked at the commander of the artillery company: "After watching the heavy artillery, let's go and see the shooting of the small artillery."

When the commander of the artillery company heard this, he quickly stopped Lin Yi: "Deputy Battalion Commander, the performance of our small artillery is not very good so far, please give me more time, I will practice hard."

Lin Yi knew that small cannons were more difficult to fight than heavy ones, and there were not many elite non-commissioned officers in the cannon company, so it was understandable that they could not achieve good results.After all, even the best small artillery shooters shown on TV can't hit the target accurately, and it's even more impossible for me to force a battalion-owned artillery company, how accurate the artillery is.

"It's okay, I'll go and have a look, as long as I can hit the circle, it's not too bad."

Seeing that Lin Yi couldn't be stopped, the commander of the artillery company quickly winked at the deputy company commander. The deputy company commander understood and immediately went to make arrangements.

Lin Yi's reconnaissance skills are extremely strong, so he naturally noticed this kind of small action, but he didn't pay much attention to it. With such a big company, what kind of trouble can it cause?
The company commander soon brought Lin Yi to the mortar position. The mortars of the artillery company were all heavy mortars. Of course, the mortars were just mortars after all. On a par with howitzers, this is not a class.

Since it is a mortar, whether it is aiming or shooting, it is more based on experience. After the artillery group's aiming is completed, the artillery company commander waved the red flag in his hand, and the second gunner decisively put down the shells. With the crisp sound of tom', the cannonball was fired instantly.

It then explodes in the center of the target.

Seeing this, the commander of the artillery company clapped his hands: "Good job, the first shell can hit, and it hits the center point, not bad."

Then he looked at Lin Yi immediately: "Deputy Battalion Commander, the gunners of our company are not bad."

Lin Yi glanced at the commander of the artillery company: "What you said is not rigorous. It's not that the gunners in your company are good, but that the gunners in your company are good. I just saw that several people in this artillery team are all It’s from the heavy artillery, Company Commander Zhao, it’s boring for you to play like this, it’s stupid, put on the original artillery group, and fire again.”

Company Commander Zhao showed embarrassment when he saw the plan was exposed.

Lin Yi looked at Company Commander Zhao: "Why, is there no battery for the mortar? Or are you going to let me be the gunner?"

Company Commander Zhao quickly waved his hand: "Deputy Battalion Commander, you are joking again. Even if you give me a hundred courage, I would not dare to let you be the gunner."

So he looked at the deputy company commander: "Let the original artillery crew come back."

The deputy company commander had no choice but to do so, but Lin Yi was quite surprised when he saw that there was only one non-commissioned officer in the mortar team. Sergeant, no matter how you look at it, this configuration is unreasonable.

Lin Yi pointed to the target next to him, and then started to pinch the stopwatch. Seeing this, the mortar team immediately began to determine the target, but whether it was determining the target or firing shells, the whole process was not smooth for Lin Yi. In this state, time is necessarily disqualified.

For the artillery company, the concept of time transcends everything. You are the fire support, and if your movement is slow for a second, it means that the frontline combat troops are more dangerous. This is a very important statistic.

However, Lin Yi doesn't want to worry too much about the time right now. After all, cooperating with this kind of thing won't happen in a short time. It will take several months or even longer to work closely. How about the shooting accuracy.

Finally it was time to reload, but strangely, the second gunner glanced at himself before putting down the shell.

Lin Yi knew that this was caused by the lack of confidence of the second gunner. If even the gunner who loaded the bomb lacked confidence, then the gun must be inaccurate.

As Lin Yi predicted, when the shell landed, the explosion point was not within the target circle, but hit the white line.

Lin Yi looked at the operation time and accuracy, and shook his head unconsciously. If it was not enough, he said, "Adjust the angle and fire the second round."

Soon the first gunner started debugging, and as the second gunner reloaded the shell again, the shell still missed the target.

The first round missed, so it can be said to be a test shot. After all, mortars, which are loaded and fired, have no rifling, and there are gaps between the shell and the barrel. It is a big parabola, and various factors are added together. It is not unforgivable to miss the first shot.

But after the second shot was adjusted, it still missed the target, which was a bit inappropriate, so Company Commander Zhao said quickly: "Don't panic, adjust slowly according to the trajectory of the last shot, and no one is urging you, why are you in a hurry?"

Lin Yi didn't make a sound this time, but just quietly watched the gunner's operation. This adjustment made the first gunner sweat profusely. After adjusting, he looked at the second gunner: "Ready to reload."

The second gunner immediately picked up the cannonball, and at this moment Lin Yi reminded: "Second gunner, your body is a little bit backward, and your body is leaning forward too much, and it is easy to be burned by the gunpowder residue from the flying shell."

The second gunner quickly followed suit and adjusted his posture.

Company Commander Zhao quickly explained: "Deputy Battalion Commander, they are all new recruits, so they are a little nervous, not to mention that they are even more nervous under the watchful eye of your great leader."

Lin Yi waved his hand: "Don't talk about this first, look at the third shot."

Soon the second gunner put down the shell, and the shell flew out of the barrel quickly, and then just landed in the white circle and exploded.

As long as one enters the white circle, it is considered a pass, but this result can only be regarded as a barely passed.

After firing three rounds in a row, it took more than ten minutes to adjust the time before hitting a barely passing result. Lin Yi looked at Company Commander Zhao, wanting to wait for him to give him an explanation.

Seeing Lin Yi staring at him, Company Commander Zhao swallowed dryly and said, "Deputy Battalion Commander, I have been adjusting the personnel of the heavy artillery for the past few days. I have been negligent on the side of the small artillery. Give me some time, I will It must be changed as soon as possible.”

If Lin Yi didn't understand artillery, he would definitely be fooled by Company Commander Zhao, but Lin Yi had learned a lot of artillery knowledge from his seniors, and it was easier to use heavy artillery, so why did he send experienced non-commissioned officers to heavy artillery?As for small cannons that require more experience, why only some recruits are left? This configuration is obviously unreasonable.

Lin Yi stared at Company Commander Zhao with bright eyes: "I need you to explain carefully."
