The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Habits are like the silent influence of the rain.

Before he knew it, Li Feng, who was at the artillery regiment's shooting range, was lying in a jeep not far from the truck cannon, wrapped in his coat and with his Leifeng hat covering his eyes, sleeping soundly than anyone else.

"Hululu~!"

"Boom~!"

"One round loaded, ready to fire~!"

"Fire~!"

"Boom~!"

“Hurululu~!”

Huge balls of snow mixed with mud from the grass splashed everywhere on the hoe. In the jeep not far away, the snoring sound continued, and the sleeping Secretary Li did not even move.

"The enemy has discovered artillery, withdraw from the position~!"

After the ammunition was fired, following the order from the old squad leader, one person immediately jumped onto the car body and used both hands to crank the left and right rudders and the up and down handles at the same time. The speed was so fast that his hands almost left afterimages.

The 122mm howitzer on the carriage was standing proudly, with its muzzle pointing to the sky and emitting hot air. But it had to lower its proud "head" and little by little got stuck into the groove reserved at the front of the car.

Almost at the same time, the hydraulic rods and hydraulic hoe supported on the ground were also retracted under the weight of the vehicle body and gravity.

The scene looks a bit complicated, but it always remains orderly. This style is as solid as when the three-year soldiers are transferred to non-commissioned officers in the training team.

"The barrel has returned to its position~!"

"The toggle arm is back in place~!"

"Hydraulic system returns to position~!"

"Ammunition rack, undercarriage inspection complete~!"

"Get in the car~!"

Amid the sound of reports, the old squad leaders were just like the new recruits on the divisional playground. In the hands of Captain Yue who was sticking to time, they were extremely efficient.

"Clang~!"

As the five-man artillery crew climbed onto the vehicle in a leaping posture and closed the door, Commander Yue looked at the second hand on the watch in his hand.

"Fifty-two seconds~!"

The second hand was still spinning, but in Captain Yue's heart the needle had already stopped and the time had been recorded in his mind.

The five people on the bus heard the report from their leader and their faces became extremely nervous. They jumped off the bus one by one, but their movements were not as agile as before.

"Tell me, is it really impossible to get in within these forty seconds? It's only one tenth of the time left. If you move a little faster and more swiftly, you can get in~!"

At this time, Captain Yue, with a fierce face, was actually quite satisfied. After all, the old squad leaders were different from the young ones. As they were older, their movements were not as quick as the new recruits.

Compared with the previous old-style towed artillery, self-propelled artillery has a much shorter assessment time for the position transfer subject, but the requirements are still higher.

Just like the five-kilometer armed cross-country race, the standard in the training outline states that it must be twenty-three minutes to pass, but when it comes to the army, it has to be twenty-two minutes, and when it comes to the division, it becomes twenty-one and a half minutes, and when it comes to the regiment, if you can't even run under twenty-one minutes, it means you're not practicing enough.

The game of escalating pressure sounds funny, but it is extremely real. Daily training has to be more rigorous than the outline in order to cope with the assessments that may come at any time.

"That's great, Captain. In the past, being able to hook the gun from its position to the trailer hook within three minutes was considered excellent~!"

The veteran squad leaders are already exhausted. This result was something they would never have dared to think of in the past. It not only tests the physical fitness of the personnel, but also the level of tacit understanding between the driver and the team members.

If the driver steps on the accelerator a little harder when reversing, he can even push the gun that is not attached to the trailer hook back into the position.

Fifty seconds or so is the limit of human reaction. If the time is shortened any further, that height will become a peak that is difficult to climb.

The technicians of the Red Star Factory watched this scene from a distance. After they jumped out of the car, they went forward to check the vehicle. It should be said that if these old guys were to do this kind of training, they would be exhausted. The mental pressure was really too great.

"No problem, you can continue~!"

After roughly checking the underbody and the gun body and finding no problems, the technicians from the Red Star Factory hid away again.

Captain Yue nodded and waved his hand to signal that this team could disperse. The other team led by the old squad leader immediately felt their hearts in their throats.

After adding another driver who was familiar with car repair, the team became a five-man self-propelled artillery squad. After a few days of running-in, they faced their own regiment commander who was eyeing them covetously.

The team leader didn't need to say much. With just one look, the old squad leaders understood what they should do. They climbed onto the carriage one by one as if they accepted their fate, and the other team finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared with the novelty brought by the truck gun, the training outline that has been figured out by the regiment commander has been a real hassle in the past few days.

"What are you doing? There's a crack in the door. Who are you showing it to~!"

Perhaps he heard something wrong with the sound of the right rear door closing, so Captain Yue walked over with a fierce look on his face to check. He found that one of the doors was ajar, and immediately pointed at the people in the car and started criticizing them.

"It's not closed tightly, close it immediately, bang~!"

The old squad leader who was sitting next to the door in the car had a wry smile on his face. He originally wanted to be sneaky and try to open the door one second earlier, but he was discovered by his own team leader.

"Although this equipment has not been put into service in our regiment yet, you should have seen that the new self-propelled artillery is a huge change compared to the towed artillery. We should not falsify the data. These are not a joke~!"

From position deployment to position evacuation, these are all daily assessment contents of the artillery team. Captain Yue cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes.

No matter how beautiful the false results are, if they cannot be achieved, they cannot be achieved. He would rather have a slower but real data than a faster but false answer.

"Artillery enters position, start deploying!"

After the criticism, the serious Captain Yue acted as the referee again. When he saw the second hand pointing to 12, he pressed down hard with his right palm.

The double doors of the driver's cab, the co-pilot's cab, and the rear seat were opened swiftly, or rather, pushed open by elbows, and the five people in the car quickly jumped out and ran to their own battle positions.

The gun barrel that had just been retracted began to slowly rise again after the fixing clamp was unfastened, pointing towards the azure sky.

The job is to operate the hydraulic lever, which is the most tiring. When retracting the hydraulic lever, it is very easy due to the weight of the truck itself pressing down on it. But to extend it, and to extend it quickly, is a test of one's strength.

The technicians standing aside looked at the speed at which others released the hydraulic rods, and then thought of the speed at which they themselves released the hydraulic rods, and their faces could not help but blush.

"Being a soldier is really hard~!"

Master Jia couldn't help but sigh. It was as if they were racing against time. Everyone was like gears on a machine, closely integrated together.

In comparison, these R&D personnel, even though they sometimes have to work overtime at night, have never pushed themselves to this point.

As the toggle arm was pushed into the barrel, the shells inside were loaded. The launcher, who had already picked up the gun rope, immediately reported loudly.

"One round loaded~!"

"One minute rapid fire, start~!"

After testing the deployment time, Captain Yue came up with a new job, not giving the old squad leaders any time to prepare in advance.

"Boom~!"

Amid the rumbling of artillery fire, Li Feng, who had slept for who knows how long, stretched himself, got out of the jeep, looked at the well-trained appearance of the artillerymen, and nodded in approval.

"Captain Yue, you guys practice first. If there's any problem, ask us masters to come and help. I have to go out for a while tomorrow~!"

"Where?"

"Chi Le Chuan~!" (End of this chapter)
