"Why did you order the turret to stop turning?" In the camp, an officer glanced at Liu Guozhu who was sitting in his seat and asked.
"Based on the contents of the tactical manual about covering the firing range, if the enemy's side armor is exposed in an open position, there must be flank cover..." Liu Guozhu could only answer truthfully.
He did think at that moment that the opponent would definitely arrange a cover on the flanks, so he took the gamble once.
"What if your judgment is wrong?" The officer raised his head and glanced at Liu Guozhu, then continued to ask.
"Impossible, the enemy is familiar with the terrain, otherwise it would be impossible to send a tank to block the small road... This is how the No. 1 car was ambushed." Liu Guozhu thought for a while and said: "Can you arrange machine gun positions on the small road to harass?
We, at the same time, deliberately arranged for a tank to ambush the commander, so we cannot leave it alone."
"Hmm..." The officer reviewing the review nodded slightly, and then asked Liu Guozhu an additional question with a smile: "So, what if the other party disguised himself well and you didn't find the target immediately?"
"If the other party really fires, I can see the muzzle flash and smoke." Liu Guozhu insisted that he was right: "I can find the target faster, and I don't even need a coaxial machine gun..."
"I understand." The officer reviewing the review looked down at Liu Guozhu's drill results, wrote the word "Excellent" on it, and then signed his name.
Outside the camp, the tank platoon responsible for acting as the imaginary enemy had five tanks lined up in a row, with camouflage leaves hung on them.
Four commanders gathered around one commander and kept teasing the unfortunate guy: "I heard that you were shot down by a rookie?"
"This is an accident!" The commander who was hit by Liu Guozhu was a little depressed and explained to his companions.
"Don't explain! Explanation is just a cover-up! Hahaha!" His platoon leader rubbed the unlucky commander's head and said jokingly: "You are too showy, take a shot and pull back!"
"I didn't expect him to come towards me...I thought he would turn the turret towards the No. 5 car."
"By the way, that brother is also very good. He guessed our tactical layout." Another commander saw Liu Guozhu coming out of the tent and praised him.
"Yes! It's not easy for newbies." The platoon leader also smiled and took out a cigarette, holding it in his mouth: "Would you like to go over and get acquainted?"
"Forget it! Let's wait and see when he can be transferred to our army." The commander who was killed by Liu Guozhu was obviously unwilling to get close to the person who killed him.
The platoon leader lit a cigarette: "Look at you! You look like a child. Forget it, you won't go if you don't want to go."
Seeing Liu Guozhu walk out of the camp and return to his tank platoon, the platoon leader of the imaginary enemy puffed away his smoke and sighed with a cigarette between his fingers: "Now these newcomers are getting more and more powerful."
…
"Brother, what is this thing for?" A farmer was holding a hoe and carrying a bamboo hat and looking at the young man who was playing with the instruments on the tripod.
The young man adjusted the focus, then looked away, and explained to the old farmer with a smile: "Nothing, this is just a small mirror, just aim it at the flag over there and adjust it clearly."
What he said seemed to be detailed, but in fact he said nothing. He neither explained what the device did, nor what he was using it for.
The old farmer didn't seem to understand, and he didn't know what these people who came from afar were doing here: these people rode in horse-drawn carriages and brought some strange equipment with them, and they had been staying here for two days.
In the past two days, these people have been running up and down the mountain every day, showing off with these strange devices every day, and no one can tell what they are doing.
If these people hadn't been generous, they would have reported it to the local officials. However, these people paid them 5 silver coins every day. Such a large sum of money immediately stopped the local farmers from looking for trouble.
These people who come from afar are really not stingy. As long as they are from people in the village, everyone will give money, and they will also give some extra to whomever they stay at and eat from whose house they eat.
"What do you want to eat tonight? I heard that Lao Kang's family still has two chickens..." Because they can sell them at a good price, these farmers are simple and willing to share all the good things at home.
The young man raised his arms towards his companions on the mountainside in the distance, then looked at the farmers and said regretfully: "Sorry, the work here is over, so we have to leave."
"Leaving today?" The old farmer was obviously a little reluctant to give up. Although his life was quite good now, the extra income still made him salivate three times.
Nowadays, the situation of the remaining farmers in Qi State is very good: the refugees who originally competed with them have basically disappeared.
With a vast land and few people, there is no need to worry about finding land for farming. With land, people can settle down and make a living.
Speaking of which, this is all thanks to the Tang Kingdom. If the Tang Kingdom hadn't bought so many refugees, the remaining people wouldn't be able to live a good life immediately.
"Well, I'll leave in the afternoon, and I might not be able to have dinner." The young man said with a smile on his face, rejecting the old farmer's kindness.
"Alas..." When he thought of Kaizi... uh... no, when he thought of his benefactors leaving, the old farmer sighed: "Now that you are leaving, old man, I feel a little uncomfortable.
"
"We always have to separate." The young man seemed to understand very well. He took out a pile of silver coins from his pocket and pressed them directly into the old farmer's palm without counting them. Then he smiled and said: "I feel sorry for bothering you for so long.
.”
"Huh? What do you mean! No! No! You have given me enough! Enough!" The old farmer quickly declined, looking like he was not receiving any reward for his efforts.
But the young man obviously had no intention of taking the money back. After a few pushes, the money went into the old farmer's pocket.
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The wrinkles on the embarrassed farmer's face bloomed like a flower, and there was a smile from the middle to the corner: "You are too polite.
.”
If I had been rude, you would have escorted me to the government to receive the reward. The young man also laughed, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart.
As they walked here, they really saw all kinds of people. Some officials collected money directly, and some officials were very honest. Some locals cooperated with them for money, and some even robbed their things.
In short, they have actually gone through countless risks along the way and seen all kinds of things in the world. To say that these local civilians in front of them are just an ordinary group.
Their task of going deep into Qi State was actually to draw a map, and it was a military-grade map.
They took countless photos with cameras, numbered them, and compiled them together with maps to become first-hand geographical information.
Only with these things can we ensure that the troops will not get lost during the advance - if they relied on those maps drawn in the early years, I am afraid that the front-line commanders of the Tang Kingdom would cry.
The kind of map where a mountain is drawn on the map represents the mountain, and a city wall crenellation is drawn on it represents the city. The accuracy is really impressive.
As for what those lines marked as roads actually represent, only God knows - if those potholed lands can really be called roads.
Just like attacking Zheng, infiltration and drawing an accurate map are important things that must be completed before military operations.
Only sufficiently accurate maps can allow commanders to accurately grasp the battlefield situation and make reasonable deployments.
Compared with the scary-sounding defense line deployed on the border of Qi State, the commanders of the Tang Kingdom were more concerned about the accurate map of the entire hinterland of Qi State.
As for that line of defense, no one cares! Everyone feels that with the new weapons in their hands, the solid line of defense that Qi relies on is just Zhihu's.
What all the middle and high-level commanders of the Tang Kingdom are thinking about is a series of rapid advancement actions after breaking through the defense line.
No one takes Qi's defense line seriously, even if that line of defense was laid out by Cyric's experts based on the experience of trench defense lines between Dorne and Goblins.
In the afternoon, several carriages left the village, leaving only a group of reluctant local farmers. In the past two days, these farmers had received money that they had not been able to earn in a year.
After sending away the young men with the strange equipment, the farmers returned to the lives they were accustomed to.
Far in the south, near the northern border of the Tang Kingdom, a large group of military experts were compiling and compiling maps shipped back from dozens of groups.
They need to integrate relevant landmark photos and maps near the photos, compile them into a book as detailed as possible, and then distribute it to all combat troops.
The staff took the trouble to confirm every camping spot and carefully selected every village, town, and city where the headquarters could stay.
Every soldier in combat must keep in mind the special landmarks they may encounter to ensure that they do not get lost due to confusion or deviation from the marching route.
The 2nd Armored Division had recently loaded up all its equipment and arrived at the preset station for them in the north of the kingdom.
Some senior staff officers are also aware that the kingdom's ammunition and supplies reserves are also being tilted towards the northern region - including artillery shells and bullets, as well as spare barrels and spare parts.
Three large field hospitals have been secretly built on the border, and five large barracks with bathhouses and canteens have also been reserved.
There is even a field airport built here, so that when war breaks out, the air force units that have already been prepared for transition can be immediately stationed.
When the war preparations have reached this stage, many high-level officials are already aware that their Majesty the King has selected the target of the next stage of attack - Qi State!

Sorry, the old debt has not been repaid, and I owed a new debt yesterday... I guess Long Ling will not be able to pay off this debt... Sigh...
