I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 158
"Squad out!" Looking at the soldiers of the artillery company, Liu Gen ordered in a deep voice.

The soldiers of the first squad came out and moved neatly, which made the old artillerymen who saw this scene slightly surprised. They never thought that the soldiers of the artillery company could do this.The Eighth Route Army attaches great importance to discipline, but the performance of a group of soldiers is still impressive. It is not easy to be able to move uniformly as one person.

"Squad Leader Song, it shouldn't be a problem for you to compete with the soldiers of Squad [-]?" Liu Gen asked, looking at Song Huan.

Song Huan nodded. He didn't have any objections. The soldiers in the artillery company were all young, and the soldiers in the first squad were almost the same as those in the other two squads.What's more, in Song Huan's view, with veteran artillerymen like them taking action, the new recruits of the artillery company would not be their opponents.

"Then let's start the competition. Let's compare the range measurement first! Everyone knows the importance of range measurement to artillery. We don't have range measurement instruments. Most of the time, we need to use the naked eye to measure range. Let's compare this first." After ordering the soldiers of the second and third squads to disperse, Liu Gen said.

"Okay!" Song Huan nodded. He is an old artilleryman, so he is no stranger to ranging.

"Caojiazhang Mountain is not far away. Now everyone measure the specific distance between this mountain and us, and give the answer in 30 seconds." Liu Gen pointed to Caojiazhang Mountain not far away, and said.

Song Huan and the others looked terrified, each gave a thumbs up, and quickly took measurements.The soldiers in Squad [-] were a bit unhurried. As artillerymen, maintaining enough calmness was the basic requirement.Of course, the most important thing is that the soldiers in the first class are no strangers to distance measurement, and they are even quite proficient.

"The end of 30 seconds! Stop it!" Liu Gen said as soon as the time was up.

"Squad Leader Song, should you come first?" Looking at Song Huan, Liu Gen asked.

"Okay!" Song Huan nodded. He didn't have any objections, and it wouldn't affect them if he came first.

"About 930 meters!"

Song Huan gave their answer, which was recognized by all the old artillerymen. Everyone used the thumb distance measurement method, and the answers they got were almost the same.Song Huan had a confident face. He believed that the error of his measurement result was within ten meters, which was almost the limit of naked eye measurement.

"First squad leader, how about you?" Liu Gen looked at the first squad leader with a bit of expectation in his eyes.

With Liu Gen's ability, he naturally knew the distance between this place and Caojiazhang Mountain. He knew that the results measured by Song Huan and others had some errors, but the errors were not too large.It is already very good to be able to measure this level with the naked eye, not to mention that the error is not too large.

"950 meters! The error is within ten meters!" The first squad leader said solemnly.

Liu Gen nodded in satisfaction. The first squad leader and the others did a good job, and their measurement results were very close to the correct answer.Using the naked eye to measure the distance is also out of helplessness. Who told the Eighth Route Army to seize so few optical distance measuring instruments from the hands of the devils?The devils would not leave such good things to the Eighth Route Army.

"The correct answer is 948 meters. The first class did a good job." Liu Gen said with a smile.

Song Huan and the others were taken aback for a moment, did they lose like this?Song Huan and the others didn't believe it. They didn't believe Liu Gen's answer. No matter how powerful Liu Gen was, it was impossible for the naked eye to measure the distance to the meter level. Still can't help but sink.

"Liu Lianchang, why are you so sure about the distance? 948 meters, how could it be so accurate?" Looking at Liu Gen, Song Huan couldn't help but ask.

Feeling Song Huan's suspicious gaze, Liu Gen was not angry, he knew that Song Huan's suspicion was normal.Not only Song Huan was a little skeptical, but even the other veteran artillerymen were skeptical of Liu Gen's correct answer. They didn't believe that the naked eye could measure distance to this extent.

The soldiers of the artillery company didn't change much. Others didn't know how powerful Liu Gen was, but they all knew Liu Gen's ability.The soldiers of the artillery company have long been accustomed to such accurate ranging, and they don't think there is anything wrong with it.

"What I say now, everyone will have doubts, how about we go and measure it?" Looking at these old artillerymen, Liu Gen said with a smile.

The veteran artillery fell silent. They looked at the confident Liu Gen, and their hearts were a little shaken. Could it be that the distance measured by Liu Gen is really the correct answer?Soon, the old artillerymen made a decision, they were going to measure it themselves, because the distance given by Liu Gen was too accurate.

"Sorry, Commander Liu, it's not that we don't want to believe you, but that the distance you gave is too accurate. We want to measure it ourselves to make sure." Song Huan said.

Liu Gen nodded. Naturally, he would not have any objections, as long as these old artillerymen went to measure, and he would continue training with the soldiers of the artillery company.The soldiers of the artillery company would not have any doubts about the accuracy of Liu Gen's range measurement.

Seeing the soldiers of the artillery company put into training again, Song Huan and others felt a little helpless. This matter happened. Could it be that the soldiers of the artillery company didn't doubt it at all?Leading the others to leave the artillery company, Song Huan and the others started to train bit by bit in a stupid way.

In order to measure the accuracy of the distance, Song Huan and others were very serious when measuring. It is really the correct answer given by Liu Gen, which is too accurate. They do not believe that the naked eye can do this.

Liu Gen didn't care about the measurement of Song Huan and others. He focused on the training of the soldiers of the artillery company. After several battles, he also discovered that the soldiers of the artillery company had many deficiencies, which required Liu Gen to help them. Point it out and let them get promoted.

Three hours later, when Song Huan and the others came back to measure, the way they looked at Liu Gen had changed significantly, and the hotness in their eyes could not be concealed.As artillerymen, Song Huan and others knew how important it was to have a sufficiently accurate range measurement.

Before measuring with the soldiers of the artillery company, Song Huan and the other veteran artillerymen felt that they were quite good, but who would have thought that they would have problems after just a distance measurement contest.At this moment, Song Huan and the others no longer had the idea of ​​continuing to compete with the soldiers of the artillery company. They were sure that Liu Gen had real skills, so they could be trained in the artillery company with peace of mind.

If they could learn something from Liu Gen, then Song Huan and the others could be sure that they would be more accurate when shelling.After seeing Liu Gen's ability, Song Huan and others will no longer care about Liu Gen's age, so what about being young?As long as you have real skills!
Before Liu Gen could say anything, Song Huan and the others joined the soldiers of the artillery company and started training with them.This time Song Huan and the others were extra serious in the training. Even though the training seemed quite simple to them, after a contest, Song Huan and the others did not dare to underestimate the seemingly simple training.

As Song Huan and others put all their energy into training, Liu Gen also became busy. From time to time, he needed to answer questions that Song Huan and others didn't understand.Having been in the artillery for so many years, Song Huan and others had accumulated many questions, which no one could answer before, but now with Liu Gen, they naturally kept asking questions and getting answers from Liu Gen.

Liu Gen was immersed in such an atmosphere, and became more and more attentive in training, almost forgetting the existence of the Murakami brigade.
