I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 210 Need to work harder

After the live ammunition training was over, Captain Niu had a slight smile in his eyes. He could see the progress of the artillery soldiers.

However, when Captain Niu looked at Liu Gen, he could see obvious dissatisfaction on Liu Gen's face.Obviously, Liu Gen, the instructor, is quite dissatisfied with the achievements of the soldiers. After noticing this, Captain Niu could only smile wryly in his heart. What can he say?

The requirements for the fighters are high enough, which shows that Liu Gen really wants to make the fighters better. In Liu Gen's view, these fighters can do better.It is a pity that these fighters were not able to do so.In this regard, Liu Gen was somewhat disappointed.

"Squad [-], you were a little too anxious when you were manipulating the mortar, and the other gunner, your hands shook when you put the shells into the barrel, otherwise your grades would definitely be better."

"Second Squad, you did a good job, but when placing the mortar, you couldn't find a place that was flat enough, which made the accuracy of the shelling drop."

"..."

Liu Gen pointed out that some of the mistakes made by the soldiers during the operation can be obviously avoided. To control the mortar, it is necessary to do the most basic things well in order to pursue the accuracy of the mortar.As for the calculation of the shelling angle, the soldiers did a pretty good job.

The form given by Liu Gen was copied by each of the soldiers, and they memorized it carefully every day.It is also because of this that these soldiers were able to calculate the angle required for shelling so quickly.

"Genzi, the fighters have improved. I believe that as long as they continue to train hard, they will improve again. The fighters can make such an improvement. I have to thank you very much." Looking patiently Liu Gen, who pointed out the mistakes of the soldiers, Captain Niu said.

Liu Gen shook his head, "Captain Niu, you don't have to thank me, we are doing this for the soldiers, to make them survive after going to the battlefield. Besides, Captain Niu, you have done a lot, if it weren't for you every day If we can get some meat, the soldiers' bodies may not be able to hold on long ago."

"Now, the fighters have improved to a certain extent. Next, they just need to continue to train according to the method, and they will continue to improve. The training intensity of the past few days is a bit high. The soldiers' bodies should be unable to continue to support, and they need to slow down. Some rhythm."

Captain Niu listened carefully to Liu Gen's words. The training of the past few days let him know that Liu Gen is still good at training soldiers.He would naturally pay attention to Liu Gen's words. Looking at Liu Gen in front of him, Captain Niu really didn't want Liu Gen to leave the artillery team.

Before meeting Liu Gen, Captain Niu knew that Liu Gen was very powerful, but when Liu Gen really came to the artillery team and saw Liu Gen's specific strength, Captain Niu had more appreciation and satisfaction for Liu Gen. This made Captain Niu want to keep Liu Gen, but unfortunately, Liu Gen still needs to return to the independent regiment.

For this matter, Captain Niu has been running to the brigade commander a lot these days, trying to get the brigade commander to ask Liu Gen to stay.But it's a pity that the brigade commander never let go. He promised Liu Gen that he would not be transferred to the brigade headquarters until this battle. If he repented now, that boy Li Yunlong would definitely complain a lot.

"Genzi, you have been in our artillery team for so long, and I have never seen you make a move. There is still one shell left, why don't you show your comrades?" Captain Niu asked with some expectation, he also wanted to know Liu Gen How far can you control a mortar.

Sensing the anticipation in Captain Niu's eyes, Liu Gen thought for a moment, then nodded, his hands were itchy too.Now that there is only one cannonball left, Liu Gen doesn't mind firing it himself. He didn't let himself be idle during this time. When the soldiers were training, he also trained.Liu Gen also wanted to know how much progress he had made. When he came to a mortar, Liu Gen began to check.

"Next, our instructor Liu Gen will fire a cannonball. Comrades, you must take it seriously and don't miss this opportunity." Captain Niu said to the soldiers.

Needless to say, Captain Niu, the soldiers of the artillery team acted quickly. They came around Liu Gen and carefully watched Liu Gen's every move.Just the matter of Liu Gen's inspection of the mortar made many soldiers blush. They did not conduct such a serious inspection before launching the shelling.Now Liu Gen's seriousness is to teach the soldiers a good lesson, and they will definitely change in the future.

After inspecting the mortar, Liu Gen slightly adjusted the position of the mortar to make it more stable and avoid affecting the accuracy during shelling.
"Cannonball!"

Yungui, who was behind Liu Gen, quickly sent the last mortar shell to Liu Gen's hand, and Liu Gen's hand was steady and fast when he took the shell.Almost in the blink of an eye, the shell was put into the barrel.With a bang, the shell flew out of the barrel, and after a few seconds of flight, it landed on a hillside 500 meters away from the artillery team. A tree on top was directly blown down by the shell.

"As expected of an instructor, you can hit so far?"

"Is the instructor's target the tree?"

"..."

The soldiers discussed one after another, and they looked at Liu Gen with fiery eyes. They were all impressed by Liu Gen's artillery skills. The ability to hit accurately at a distance of 500 meters undoubtedly fully demonstrated Liu Gen's strength.Captain Niu, who was beside Liu Gen, had a flash of horror in his eyes. To be able to accurately hit such a distant target, Liu Gen is a little too powerful?You know, Liu Gen's shot almost reached the limit range of the 81mm mortar.

Although the 81mm mortar has a range of 800 meters, in fact, in combat, it will choose to shell at about 1000 meters, so as to maintain sufficient accuracy.And now that Liu Gen can do this, it already means that when shelling the enemy, Liu Gen can strike the enemy accurately, but the enemy cannot accurately hit Liu Gen. Such an advantage is not insignificant!

Now most of the artillery of the Eighth Route Army will choose to close the distance with the devils as much as possible when fighting, and then launch shelling.Only by shortening the distance can we make up for the lack of accuracy of the Eighth Route Army artillery.

Captain Niu could imagine that if Liu Gen was able to accurately hit a target at a distance of 500 meters with a mortar, he would definitely get the attention of the Artillery Regiment of the Headquarters. A powerful artillery like Liu Gen is a little too little !Thinking that Liu Gen would come to the artillery team of the brigade after this battle, Captain Niu became more and more happy. As long as the soldiers can learn something from Liu Gen, the combat effectiveness of the artillery team can be improved.

Sensing the eyes of the soldiers, Liu Gen frowned slightly. He looked down at the mortar in front of him, but he was a little dissatisfied.In terms of artillery specialization, he has already reached the top level, which means that Liu Gen has the ability to control all kinds of guns to hit the limit range, but it is not easy to do this, at least Liu Gen has not yet been able to do so. do it.

"We still need to work harder." Liu Gen murmured in a low voice and said with a wry smile.
