I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 157 Contest?

Two or three days passed, but no trace of Murakami's brigade was found in the Miyu Town area.

During this time, many fighters from the Independence Regiment were sent out by Li Yunlong to look for the little devils from the Murakami Brigade. The 358th and 4th regiments of the 716th brigade also sent soldiers to find traces of the Murakami brigade.The bosses had instructions and agreed that the independent regiment also joined the ambush of the Murakami brigade.

During this period of time, the performance of the independent regiment was quite good, not to mention that with Li Yunlong as the commander of the regiment, there was no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment.

And in the past few days, many soldiers from the 4th and 716th regiments have also come to train with the artillery company, in order to get the guidance of Liu Gen, the commander of the artillery company.The artillery company of the Independence Regiment is still very famous, and Liu Gen's achievements are enough to deserve such attention.

In the Eighth Route Army, most of the artillerymen have not received formal training, and the artillery fire is naturally not accurate enough.In the past, if the artillerymen of the 4th and 716th regiments wanted to be promoted, they could only fumble a little bit through continuous live ammunition shelling.

Now, with the arrival of Liu Gen, these artillerymen have another way to improve.Although Liu Gen was younger than them, but he was a master, and Liu Gen's achievements were beyond the reach of ordinary artillery. It was precisely this that attracted the artillery of these two regiments.

Liu Gen was a little surprised by the arrival of the artillerymen of the 4th and 716th regiments. He did not expect that these artillerymen would choose to come to the artillery company and train with the soldiers of the artillery company.Liu Gen could see that there were quite a few old artillerymen among them, and let these veterans train with the artillery company and ask him for advice, how could he continue to remain calm?
After telling Li Yunlong about this situation, Li Yunlong didn't pay much attention. He just told Liu Gen to train the artillerymen who came here according to the method of training artillery company soldiers, and don't care whether they are veterans or not.Liu Gen didn't have enough understanding of Liu Gen's current situation, but Li Yunlong was quite clear about it.

Judging from Liu Gen's achievements and the accuracy of his artillery, Liu Gen's skills are not weaker than the Devil's artillery, and even stronger than the Devil's artillery in some respects.If it weren't for Li Yunlong's resolute attitude, Liu Gen might have been transferred to the brigade headquarters long ago, and joined the artillery team of the brigade headquarters.

In the entire Eighth Route Army, it is also somewhat difficult to find other artillery that can compare with Liu Gen.What's more, Liu Gen's greatest strength is not his artillery skills, but his artillery training.

The soldiers of the artillery company who were transferred to the brigade headquarters before made the brigade commander quite satisfied. The discipline and skill shown by the soldiers made them become the backbone of the artillery team soon after they joined the brigade headquarters.This also allowed Liu Gen to get more attention. The brigade commander had already explained to Li Yunlong that he should try his best to ensure Liu Gen's safety.

Now the 358th and 4th regiments of the 716th brigade sent their artillery to the artillery connection for training. I think they heard some news, otherwise they would not easily send the artillery of their own regiment. The 120th division and the 129th division still had a lot of exchanges, and it was normal to know Liu Gen's existence.

In the artillery company, Liu Gen looked at the soldiers who were training. He could see that compared with the soldiers of the artillery company, the artillerymen from the 4th and 716th regiments were not very serious in training.The training of the artillery company is very simple. It may be such a simple training that these new artillerymen look down on them.

As the artillerymen of other regiments, these artillerymen also have their own pride. They have been artillerymen for at least several years, and they have experienced countless battles.Even though some of them knew about Liu Gen's achievements, they didn't think anything of it. They believed that with their own abilities, as long as they had the opportunity, they would definitely be able to do what Liu Gen did.

"Stop!" Looking at these new artillerymen, Liu Gen commanded in a deep voice.

The soldiers of the artillery company stopped training. It can be clearly seen that the soldiers of the artillery company who trained hard had sweat pouring out of their faces, while the new artillery soldiers did not. They seemed to be on vacation, with a relaxed and casual look on their faces.

"The artillerymen of the 4th and 716th regiments take a step forward!" They glanced at the new artillerymen, making their hearts sink.

The artillerymen of the two regiments stepped forward. They looked at Liu Gen, wondering what kind of trick Liu Gen was going to do.

"You are all veterans, I can understand your thoughts, but when you come to the artillery company, you should devote all your energy to training!"

"To be honest, I can just ignore it. When you don't exist, just train the soldiers of our artillery company. But I still want to do something. Everyone knows the importance of artillery. Given the situation of our Eighth Route Army, the requirements for artillery Higher. We don’t have as many artillery and shells as the Devils, so we can only do as much as possible with the one or two mortars in our hands.” Liu Gen looked at these artillerymen who stood up, with a serious expression.

The artillerymen of the 4th and 716th regiments were silent. They knew that Liu Gen was right. Most of the artillerymen in the Eighth Route Army were unqualified, but the Eighth Route Army had the highest requirements for artillerymen.To cause as much damage to the devils as possible with limited shells, this requires the artillerymen to be good at shooting, and they need to be accurate enough when shelling.

"Liu Lianchang, we all know what you said."

"Your artillery company's training is good, but it's not very useful to us old artillerymen. If your company commander Liu only has such abilities, then it doesn't make much sense for us to stay here. Company commander Liu, you Say yes?" an old artilleryman said.

The old artilleryman is called Song Huan, and he is a veteran who has been an artilleryman for almost five or six years.Song Huan was originally an artillery soldier in the national army. When he was defeated and retreated from the devils, he met the troops of the Eighth Route Army and chose to join the Eighth Route Army.After becoming the Eighth Route Army, Song Huan did a lot of things with a 60mm mortar in his hand, and his record was quite good. Among these artillerymen, he should be the one with the most qualifications.

"Squad Leader Song, I know what you mean. You think such a simple training is useless. Why don't you compete with the soldiers of the artillery company?" Looking at Song Huan who spoke, Liu Gen's eyes lit up and he said with a smile.

Song Huan was slightly taken aback, a contest?It's not necessary, is it?Could the new recruits of the artillery company be the opponents of these old artillerymen?

"These recruits are not our opponents. If we want to compete, it's better for you to come." Song Huan said directly.

Liu Gen laughed, "Squad Leader Song, don't underestimate the soldiers of our artillery company. They have all conducted live ammunition shelling and performed quite well. Why don't you give them a chance to show their performance."

"Okay, I want to see what kind of performance they will have!" Song Huan took a serious look at Liu Gen before saying.
