The company's live-fire training is about to begin.

The company fires live ammunition once a year to test the training results.

There are two artillery platoons, each squad has the opportunity to shoot a live ammunition. If approved, you can hit up to three shots.

Note that it is a shell, not a bullet. It requires the whole class to cooperate.

The artillery company where Wang Ke is located is a mortar company. What is a mortar?

There are many types of artillery. The one with a long barrel is called a cannon, the one with a shorter barrel is called a howitzer, and the one with a shorter barrel is called a mortar, which is a mortar.

The length of the cannon barrel is more than 40 times the diameter of the muzzle, the ballistic is straight and low, and the firepower point of the tank is the best, and the accuracy is very high. The maximum range of the cannon abroad is 35 kilometers.

Howitzers are field guns with short body tubes and curved trajectories, suitable for attacking concealed targets and ground targets. Howitzers can be divided into two types according to their maneuvering methods: traction type and self-propelled type.

Mortars are a type of short gun body, large firing angle, high ballistic arc, and withstand recoil with seat plates. Most of them are loaded with muzzles. Mortars can shoot targets behind the shelter. It is said that at the shortest distance, the Liberation War once hit targets 60 meters away through a wall.

How do mortars work together?

The squad leader is responsible for commanding, holding two small flags, one red and the other green, green as the loading is completed, and red as the pause. Standing in front of the cannon, loudly retelling and conveying the commander of the position commander and shooting the various elements, it is very majestic.

As the aimer, a gunner is responsible for installing shooting elements or aiming directly at the target according to the command issued by the squad leader, and audibly report to the squad leader to prepare for shooting.

The second gunner is the loader and is responsible for loading ammunition. After the ammunition is loaded, he squats on the side of the artillery.

The three gunners and their later ammunition players are responsible for opening the shell box, taking out the shells and installing the fuses.

The fuse is a small iron lump twisted at the front of the shell. After the safety pin is drawn out, the shell will be shot out. If the impact force falls on the ground, it will explode, causing the explosion of the shell body, so as to use the cracked shrapnel of the shell to kill the enemy. A small grenade will have four to five hundred shrapnels, while the shells will have more.

So there is a saying on the battlefield that new recruits are afraid of horns and veterans are afraid of artillery.

The recruits were a little confused when they heard the charge. When the veteran heard the cannon, the "hiss" sound of the shells flying overhead was very terrifying. I wonder if it was landing in their hidden position.

So after the casserole was brought down, the reconnaissance squad was engaged in intense training the next day. This training was to quickly and accurately capture the target, and quickly measure the distance angle between the command post and the target, thereby determining its coordinates.

Only by determining the coordinates of the target, calculate and determine the shooting elements based on the coordinates of the gun position, and the shooting elements are calculated and determined. The shooting elements include the target nature, orientation angle, ruler, and shooting form. Single shot or concentrated fire volley.

When the password is issued, the retelling of the cannon position commands comes one after another, which is very spectacular.

The most primitive shooting commands for the frontier command post are issued from here.

The wireless class and the telephone class provide dual insurance communication channels for the command post. Therefore, before coordination, the reconnaissance class, wireless class, and telephone class will practice repeatedly to ensure that the links will not be lost at the last moment.

The role of the reconnaissance squad will become prominent at this time. The measurement is fast and precise, and the calculation is fast and accurate, and it is calculated in seconds. Whoever can control artillery fire can achieve the final chance of victory at any time. This is also the fundamental reason why the command squad is important in the position of the entire company, why the reconnaissance squad is important in the position of the command squad, and why the calculation squad is important in the position of the reconnaissance squad.

Wang Ke asked Song Ruimin, who served as a calculation soldier, to have no less than 10,000 coordinate training operations every day, and Luo Shaohuan, Niu Suozhu and Hu Yanlou, who served as a steering wheel player and a cannon mirror player, to have no less than 200 hidden running points every day, and to be precise, the error cannot exceed one percent. All links are based on actual combat requirements.

So, as soon as Luo Shaohuan, Niu Suozhu and Hu Yanlou entered the actual comprehensive drill, the problems were exposed, especially Hu Yanlou. His running speed and hidden entry into his observation position were not problematic, but the measurement angle was transmitted back and had a large error every time. What was the situation?

Follow and find the reason. Finally, I found it. The steering wheel and gun mirror both have a horizontal bubble looking for a plane. If this horizontal bubble is not correct, your steering wheel or gun mirror will not be on the same horizontal plane, and the angle you measure will have a deviation. A slight mistake can be made on the battlefield, and it will be a thousand meters.

Moreover, the steering wheel and gun mirror must rotate in one direction, and cannot turn over and then turn back. Once the rotation does not find the target or the lens turns over the target, you must press the operating handle and call it back and start over again. If the angle of half a meter is error, your distance calculation may be several dozen meters apart. What is the meter position? If the circle is 360 degrees, and then the angle is calculated in minutes and seconds, it will be too inconvenient. Modern military topography directly divides the circle's circumference into 6,000 equal parts, and each equal part is one meter. This accuracy calculation omits huge trouble and is more convenient.

Therefore, practicing hard on the spot to practice bubbles and camera rotation and positioning is really a hard skill. Each scout has to practice tens of thousands of times or hundreds of thousands of times.

It is common to run up the mountain, down the mountain, and run in seclusion with enemies.

After running, the shoes took a very fast time. A pair of Jiefang shoes will last for up to two months, and the soles will be as thin as paper. The upper is fine, but the soles will be gone.

During this period, Wu Xiangyu helped Wang Ke directly wear shoes and sent all the shoes he had saved and his comrades to him.

Hu Yanlou often runs barefoot, and running barefoot on the mountain is not as simple as flat ground. There are many stones and branches on the mountain, which often hurts your feet. What should I do? Make straw sandals. It was during this period that Wang Ke learned to make straw sandals. Later, when he arrived at the agency, he often attracted envy when he wore straw sandals and straw slippers he made. This is not mentioned later.

After more than a month of intensive training, the days of live-fire shooting are getting closer and closer, and Wang Ke's heart can't help but beating. After all, this is a big test for the past year of training. After live-fire shooting, the company will have to go back to rest in the barracks and spend his third winter.

This time, the superiors also attached great importance to the live-fire shooting of several artillery companies. The third-level leader of the military division will visit the command post in person. Wang Ke's company is in the bottom line to shoot. After asking for instructions, the command platoon leader and reconnaissance squad leader who have not entered the position can watch to summarize experience and adjust the training methods in the future.

This kind of live-fire discussion and observation was quite common in the military training at that time. The command post was set on an unknown high ground of only more than 100 meters. The three-level leaders of the military division drove all the cars on the top of the mountain, and then they all carried the horses into the viewing stand on one side. Under the camouflage net on the hillside, various steering wheels and guns were set against the mirror. There were dozens of reconnaissance squad leaders and command platoon leaders watching.

Wang Ke searched for a long time and did not set up a cannon mirror on the hillside. Looking around, he found that there was a sunken pit on the half-slope, with a diameter of less than three meters and a depth of one meter three or four meters. From actual combat, it happened to be hidden here, and it was an excellent place to set up a cannon mirror to conduct reconnaissance.

"Let's go there." Wang Ke said to the new platoon leader Yan Jiao.

The two jumped into the pit and put the cannon in front of the camera.

No matter from which angle, the pit has a wide field of view, making it easy to conceal. When the cannon is mounted against the lens, only two rabbits' ears are exposed.

When the new platoon leader Yan Jiao saw that the pit was squatting down and was almost untouched by the cold wind in the early winter. He was not disturbed by the observation comrades. It was very quiet, and he felt very satisfied.

"Search of the reconnaissance squad leader, look at all those who observe and learn. Only we are the most in line with the requirements of practical training. I will sit for a while and wait for the cannon to fire, and you will notify me." He sat in this pit and looked at the vehicles parked on the hill. There were still many good cars there. The warm sunshine shone in the pit, warm.

"Platform leader, why are there a group of female soldiers below us?" Wang Ke noticed that at the foot of his mountain, more than a hundred heroic female soldiers came, and sat on the other side of the observation platform with a horse stool. The straight line distance from his observation position was only fifty meters.

"Where?" Platoon Commander Yan Jiao immediately stood up and looked at the female soldier under his feet.

"Oh, I understand. Today I heard that a group of female students from Bethune School also came to see the school. The main purpose is to experience the confrontation and intensity of future wars." After saying that, Platoon Leader Yan Jiao seemed a little proud. He took off the hat woven with leaves and wild grass on his head, waved to the group of female soldiers. Some of them saw it, and then waved to Wang Ke.

Wang Ke thought, Wu Xiangyu and the others didn't know if they were coming. After saying that, he lowered his head and pressed his eyes against the two eyepieces under the mirror.

"Platform leader, it's about to start, signal flares." Before he finished speaking, he heard a roar of overwhelming waves, and the shells dragged the fire. I saw that in the opposite target area, a bolt from the blue immediately sounded in the circle drawn with lime. The sound of the cannon was like a exploding in his ears. The female soldier below covered his ears with his hands and screamed.

This is a live ammunition from a cannon company, with a surprisingly loud sound.

Platoon leader Yan Jiao was also startled. He covered his ears with his hands and swallowed with his mouth wide open. The sound was too terrifying, and we were not ready yet.

"Dongdongdongdong" another row of shells came roaring. "This place is too close to the target area." Platoon Commander Yan Jiao complained a little, although it was still one thousand meters away from the target area.

After the volley of this platoon, another artillery company began to rotate, and there was a short rest time in the middle. There was a fifteen to twenty minutes. Platoon leader Yan Jiao climbed up from the pit, but he still thought of going behind the cars on the top of the mountain, at least not so loud. However, Wang Ke seized this rare opportunity and recorded the experience of observing the bombing spots and shooting the elements just now, and how to capture the bounce points in actual combat, and to prepare for future training. While he was squatting in the pit and remembering his experience in the small notebook he carried with him, he suddenly heard a scream on the top of the mountain, especially when he saw the platoon leader Yan Jiao, running behind a car, while grabbing the door of a car and shouting, "Hold, hold!"

The car jumped and jumped down and fell into his pit. It was less than three or five meters in an instant. The platoon leader Yan Jiao had already let go of his hand, and he would be dragged down if he didn't let go.

It was almost time for a while that a black shadow had already reached Wang Ke's head.

A desperate scream came from the female soldier fifty meters below!?
