I am an artillery soldier

第114章 1940年5月16日4时

"Captain, are you so sure that there will be a large-scale battle?" Looking at Li Yunlong, Liu Gen asked curiously.

Li Yunlong laughed, extremely confident, "Genzi, I have fought more battles than you have eaten. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. If the devil's cage tactics continue to be implemented, our Eighth Route Army's base will be continuously compressed. The connection between the various units will also be cut off. The headquarters will not let such a thing happen, and it is time to teach the devil a big lesson!"

Looking at Li Yunlong, Liu Gen admired him a little. Li Yunlong is really powerful, and not everyone has such a vision.

"Commander, the soldiers of our artillery company also need to undergo shooting training. I would like to apply to you for [-] rounds of ammunition for training. In addition, I also want the soldiers to conduct live ammunition shooting training."

"You also know that if the artillery company wants to form enough combat effectiveness, blind training is not enough. The soldiers need to experience the baptism of the battlefield!" After a moment of silence, Liu Gen said in a deep voice.

Liu Gen didn't want the soldiers of the artillery company to have any ability to fight except for firing artillery. The special situation of the Eighth Route Army meant that the artillery also needed to go to the front line.A good enough shooting technique can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the artillery company, allowing them to effectively kill the enemy when they go to the front line!
"Genzi, aren't you a bit too greedy? Your artillery company only has a hundred soldiers, and 1000 bullets are used for training, which is a bit much!" Li Yunlong frowned, [-] bullets is a bit too much.The independent regiment has more than [-] people, and sending these bullets to the soldiers is almost enough for the soldiers to fight a battle.

Now it's all right, Liu Gen opened his mouth and asked for [-] rounds of bullets for the soldiers of the artillery company to conduct shooting training. Isn't this the lion's mouth?

"Commander, I don't think it's too much. There are a lot of ammunition captured from Wanjia Town, not a lot, but enough for our regiment soldiers to conduct shooting training. You also know how powerful the devil's shooting skills are. Time, why not use these bullets in the training of the soldiers, and improve the shooting skills of the soldiers, good shooters are all fed with a lot of bullets." Looking at Li Yunlong, Liu Gen said in a deep voice.

Li Yunlong squinted his eyes. He knew that Liu Gen was right. The shooting skills of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment were not good, and they were far worse than those of the New Regiment.This is why Li Yunlong approved so many bullets for the soldiers to conduct shooting training. Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for Li Yunlong not to approve some bullets for the artillery company for shooting training.

"Is there [-] rounds, [-] rounds, I can only give you [-] rounds for your artillery company! With the precedent of your artillery company, maybe the newly formed cavalry company and the guard company directly under the regiment also need a lot of bullets for shooting training , you have created a problem for me." Li Yunlong looked at Liu Gen and said helplessly.

The supplies and ammunition seized in the raid on Wanjia Town made Li Yunlong feel that he was about to become a rich man in Shanxi.

"Head, there are still shells. The soldiers of our artillery company still need to shoot live ammunition!" Looking at Li Yunlong, Liu Gen said again.

Li Yunlong became more and more helpless, mother, this regiment leader can't keep things in his hands at all.Li Yunlong realized that he seemed to be able to understand why the brigade commander reached out to him. Even the commander of his regiment needed to worry about the ammunition used by the soldiers for training, so the brigade commander must be even more worried. That is a brigade.

"The Type [-] infantry artillery has not many shells and cannot be used for training by soldiers. This infantry artillery was specially brought from the brigade headquarters for you. I believe that in your hands, this Type [-] infantry artillery can be used to its full potential." Unleash its power."

"I can only let the soldiers use 60mm caliber mortars to practice their hands, which means that there are more shells, but I can only grant you fifty rounds." Li Yunlong said with some headaches.

When he first saw the materials seized from Wanjia Town, Li Yunlong also wanted to use these materials to try to cultivate a special operations force that Liu Gen said.Now it seems that it is better not to think so much. The training of the independent regiment fighters consumes too much ammunition. To cultivate such special operations troops, it is better to use the bullets for the soldiers of the whole regiment to train.

"Genzi! If you have nothing to do, go away, damn it, I found out that it was a mistake to keep you here. The ammunition I just got is about to be thrown out more than half before it is warmed up." Looking at Liu Gen, Li Yunlong complained. .

Liu Gen looked at Li Yunlong, and for some reason, seeing Li Yunlong's somewhat resentful expression, he wanted to laugh, "Commander, in fact, if you are willing to spend some money, you can find some fighters who are good at shooting and throwing grenades. Strengthen training for them, and when the time comes to kill the devils, these fighters will definitely play a greater role."

"It's ok, you're a good kid, and you can think of this." Li Yunlong praised.

Knowing that it was impossible to train special operations troops, Li Yunlong thought of strengthening training for some good shooters and giving them more bullets for practice.As long as the soldiers' shooting skills are good enough, the devil's firepower will definitely not be able to spread on the battlefield, and the pressure faced by the independent regiment will also be much smaller.

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, go back and train with the soldiers of the artillery company. I hope you will not let me down!" Li Yunlong said in a deep voice.

Liu Gen's expression became serious, and he promised: "Regimental Commander, our artillery company will definitely not let you down!"

After saluting, Liu Gen left the regiment headquarters and walked towards the artillery company.

Knowing that the independent regiment will face a lot of battles in the future, Liu Gen feels that he really needs to strengthen the training of the soldiers of the artillery company. The soldiers still have a lot of potential, so strengthening training is very necessary.Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime, Liu Gen does not want the soldiers of the artillery company to die on the battlefield due to lack of sufficient training.

Compared with the devil's artillery, the artillery company has many deficiencies, and there are many areas that need to be improved!To survive the artillery battle with the devils, the soldiers of the artillery company needed more training. Looking at the soldiers in training, Liu Gen made a decision in his heart.

In the next two or three days, Liu Gen did not make too many changes to the training of the artillery company, which made the soldiers who were used to this kind of training much easier.Until one day, when Liu Gen came to the soldiers of the artillery company with a lot of small pockets, the soldiers of the artillery company realized that something was wrong. Damn, the company commander Liu Gen was holding back his big move secretly.

"Everyone has two pockets, fill them with soil and tie them to your legs!" Liu Gen said in a deep voice.

Faced with such heavy training, the soldiers of the artillery company wailed loudly. After the two small bags were filled with soil, they weighed almost ten catties.It's nothing to carry a load for a short time, and the soldiers can bear it, but with such a load for a long time, how can the training of the soldiers be easy?
On May 5, the soldiers of the regiment headquarters conveyed Li Yunlong's order to let Liu Gen go to the regiment headquarters.

When he came to the regiment headquarters, Liu Gen could see that the battalion commanders and company commanders of the independent regiment were all here, but at this time everyone looked extremely heavy, and the atmosphere in the entire regiment headquarters was extremely depressing.

"Head, what's the matter?" Liu Gen's heart trembled, and he had a bad premonition.

Li Yunlong's face was ugly, without words, he handed a telegram to Liu Gen.

After receiving the telegram, Liu Gen looked down at the contents of the telegram, and his heart sank immediately. The telegram was very concise, "At 5:16 pm on May 4, General Zhang Zizhong's troops were fighting the Japanese army at Shili Changshan, a pumpkin shop in Xiangyang. The entire army was wiped out, and General Zhang Zizhong died heroically for the country."

　ps: I write this with a heavy heart, I hope everyone can remember the history and not forget the national humiliation!
