Lin Yi got on the command vehicle of the artillery company and quickly rushed to the training ground to conduct live ammunition shooting. As the shells were fired one after another, the shells basically hit the target.
Lin Yi looked at the time displayed on the stopwatch in his hand. From finding the target, to building a position, to hitting the target, his results were all excellent. This was a really big change.
So he nodded: "Not bad. If your artillery company can maintain this performance, I will commend you by name during the battalion meeting next week."
Then he stood up and looked at the artillery company commander: "We've finished looking at the heavy artillery. Let's go see the small artillery fire."
When the artillery company commander heard this, he quickly stopped Lin Yi: "Deputy battalion commander, the performance of our small artillery is not very good yet. Please give me more time and I will practice hard."
Lin Yi knew that small artillery was more difficult to shoot than heavy artillery. There were not many elite non-commissioned officers in the artillery company, so it was understandable that he could not achieve good results. After all, even the best small artillery shooters shown on TV could not accurately hit the target.
, it is even less possible for me to force a battalion-affiliated artillery company to know how accurate the artillery fire is.
"It's okay. I'll go take a look. As long as I can hit the circle, it's not bad."
Seeing that he could not stop Lin Yi, the artillery company commander quickly winked at the deputy company commander. The deputy company commander understood and immediately went to make arrangements.
Lin Yi's reconnaissance skills were extremely strong, so he naturally noticed such small moves, but he didn't pay much attention to it. With such a large company, what kind of trouble could it cause?
The company commander quickly brought Lin Yi to the mortar position. The mortars in the artillery company were all heavy mortars. Of course, the mortars were just mortars after all. Even if they were powerful, they could not compete with the heavy mortars.
Compared with howitzers, this is not on the same level.
Since it is a mortar, whether it is aiming or shooting, it relies more on experience. As the artillery team completed the aiming, the artillery company commander waved the red flag in his hand, and the second gunner decisively put down the shells.
With a crisp sound of "Tum", the cannonball was fired instantly.
Then it explodes in the center of the target.
Seeing this, the commander of the artillery company clapped his hands: "Well done, the first artillery shell hit, and it hit the center point, not bad."
Then he immediately looked at Lin Yi: "Deputy battalion commander, the gunners in our company are not bad."
Lin Yi glanced at the artillery company commander: "What you said is not rigorous. It's not that the gunners in your company are good, but that this group of gunners in your company is good. I just saw that several people in this artillery group are
We came from the heavy artillery, Company Commander Zhao, it’s no longer fun for you to play like this, you’re stupid, put on the original gun crew and fire another round.”
When Company Commander Zhao saw that his plan was revealed, he looked troubled.
Lin Yi looked at Company Commander Zhao: "What, does the mortar have no gun crew? 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 courages, I don't dare to let you be a 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 as he was told, but when Lin Yi saw that the mortar team had only one non-commissioned officer, he was still quite surprised. The number of non-commissioned officers in the artillery battalion was the largest among all companies, but there was only one in each artillery team.
Sergeant, this configuration is unreasonable no matter how you look at it.
Lin Yi pointed at the target next to him, and then started to turn on the stopwatch. Seeing this, the mortar team immediately began to determine the target, but whether it was determining the target or firing the shells, the whole process was very unsmooth for Lin Yi.
In this state, time must be unqualified.
For an artillery company, the concept of time transcends everything. You are fire support. If your movements are slower for one second, it means that the danger of the frontline combat troops is greater. This is very important data.
However, Lin Yi doesn't want to worry too much about time at the moment. After all, cooperation can't be practiced in a short time. It requires close cooperation for several months or even longer. He wants to see now, they
How is the shooting accuracy?
It was finally 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 second gunner's lack of confidence. If even the gunner who was loading the ammunition lacked confidence, then the gun must not be accurate.
Just 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 still said: "Adjust the angle and fire the second shot."
Soon the first gunner started debugging, and as the second gunner reloaded, the shell still did not hit the target.
The first shot missed, so it can be said to be a test shot. After all, mortars are loaded-fired shells that have no rifling, and there are gaps between the shells and the barrel. The shells are light and can fly far away.
It's a big parabola. Various factors are added together. It's not unforgivable that the first shot missed.
But after the second shot was adjusted, it still missed the target, which was a bit out of place, so Company Commander Zhao quickly said: "Don't panic, slowly adjust according to the trajectory of the previous shot, and no one is urging you, why are you in a hurry?"
Lin Yi did not make a sound this time, but quietly watched the gunner's operation. This adjustment made the first gunner sweat profusely. After adjusting, he looked at the second gunner: "Get ready to load the ammunition."
The second gunner immediately picked up the cannonball. At this time, Lin Yi reminded: "Second gunner, your body is slightly farther back and you are leaning too far forward. It is easy to be burned by the gunpowder residue from the flying shell."
The second gunner quickly followed the instructions and adjusted his posture.
Company Commander Zhao quickly explained: "Deputy Battalion Commander, they are all new recruits, so they are a little nervous. What's more, they are even more nervous under the watchful eye of your great leader."
Lin Yi waved his hand: "Don't talk about this yet, let's watch the third shot."
Soon the second gunner put down the shell, and the shell quickly flew out of the barrel, then landed just inside the white circle and exploded.
As long as it enters the white circle, it will be considered a passing grade, but this result can only be regarded as barely passing.
After firing three rounds in succession, it took more than ten minutes to adjust the time, and then he got a barely passing result. Lin Yi looked at Captain Zhao, wanting to wait for him to give him an explanation.
Company Commander Zhao saw Lin Yi staring at him, swallowed dryly and said: "Deputy Battalion Commander, I have been adjusting the personnel of the heavy artillery these days. I have been a little negligent on the small artillery side. Please give me some time. I
It must be corrected as soon as possible.”
If Lin Yi didn't understand artillery, he would definitely be fooled by Captain Zhao, but Lin Yi had learned a lot of artillery knowledge from his seniors. It was obvious that heavy artillery was easier to use, so why would he send experienced non-commissioned officers to heavy artillery?
As for the small artillery that needs more experience, why only some recruits are left? This configuration is obviously unreasonable.
Lin Yi stared at Company Commander Zhao with burning eyes: "I need you to explain it well."
