Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

For the fighters of the independent regiment, this is a great honor.

Everyone knows that the head of the regiment has a bad temper, and it is common to curse people on the battlefield.

Although he is never stingy with words of praise, praise usually comes after the battle is over, and the regiment leader rarely praises people during the battle, let alone offer to smoke.

Zhou Kaitian held the cigarette in his hand and didn't light it, just grinning "hehe".

It's just that the smile looked a little dumbfounded. If he hadn't witnessed him accurately predicting the impact point of the little devil just now, Kong Jie would have wondered if there was something wrong with his brain.

Of course Zhou Kaitian's mind is fine, he just has a simple and honest personality.

When the artillery company was established, Qiao Lin gave Li Yunlong advice on the selection of the company commander.

He thought that the commander of the artillery company must not be short-tempered.

Because once the temper is violent, it is easy to fire randomly, which will waste shells.

In addition, the character must be stable, and the heart must not tremble, so that it will not be affected by external factors on the battlefield full of artillery fire.

In fact, Zhou Kaitian is indeed a person with a very calm personality, his psychological quality is very strong, and he is not easy to be disturbed.

It's just that his calmness is usually regarded as slow to respond.

In addition to character conditions, you must have strong calculation skills and be sensitive to numbers.

Although he didn't understand why the artillery company commander had to be good at arithmetic, Li Yunlong finally accepted Qiao Lin's suggestion and chose Zhou Kaitian as the company commander.

There are two main reasons.

Before there was an artillery company, Zhou Kaitian was a mortar gunner in the Independence Regiment. He once created a brilliant record of one man firing twenty shells with one shot, and every shot was flawless.

It was an ambush operation. For three whole days, Zhou Kaitian guarded the mortar and did not speak a word to anyone else.

Has a foundation and a stable personality.

Secondly, the three generations of Zhou Kaitian's ancestors were accountants in the firm. According to him, he knew how to make abacus when he was two years old, and he could do two abacus with both hands at the same time when he was six years old.

This is a specialty in arithmetic, at least in the eyes of soldiers whose calculation ability is generally within three digits, it is undoubtedly a genius.

Facts have proved that Li Yunlong's choice is not wrong.

On the day Zhou Kaitian took office as the commander of the artillery company, he was called into the house by Qiao Lin and stayed there for half a day.

After Qiao Lin left, Zhou Kaitian locked himself in the room for another three days, carefully studying the relationship between the few pieces of information left by Qiao Lin that said artillery skills, and the dictated numbers.

For three whole days, Zhou Kaitian didn't touch a sip of food or water. With his talent and perseverance, he understood all the things that Professor Qiao Lin taught him, integrated them, and even came up with his own unique ideas.

You must know that it took Lei Gong more than ten years to figure out these things bit by bit, but he only spent three days.

After the formation of the artillery company, it was three days before the soldiers saw their company commander for the first time.

At that time, Zhou Kaitian was so weak that he was about to fall down at any time. The soldiers wanted to send him to the camp to see the health center, but he insisted on going to the training ground first.

When Zhou Kaitian arrived at the training ground, it seemed as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and his whole body instantly changed from weak to vigorous.

Set up a mortar, and began to murmur words, and the soldiers with sharp ears heard all the directions and numbers.

Then Zhou Kaitian began to adjust the gun positions, simulated loading and firing shells, and then started to get excited.

Excitement is not simulated, he is really excited.

Although in the whole process, except the mortar is real, others are fake, but in the process of his ink, the shell has hit the target accurately.

After that came infantry artillery and mountain artillery.

Zhou Kaitian simulated all the cannons of the artillery, and seeing his excited appearance, the soldiers seemed to have really seen cannonballs fired from the barrel, and then hit the target and exploded.

Cannon crazy!

The soldiers of the whole company thought of a title in unison.

In the end Zhou Kaitian was carried off the training ground because he really didn't have the strength to stand up and leave.

But since then, the training of the soldiers has been completely in accordance with Zhou Kaitian's requirements, and under his guidance, they began to learn the knowledge taught by Qiao Lin.

As a result of such hard work, they didn't miss a single shell during their first actual battle today.

Chapter 760 Artillery is also Knowledge

Li Yunlong had heard of Zhou Kaitian's reputation as a cannon folly.

He had also heard Qiao Lin mention that calculations could be used to predict the location of the enemy's firing in advance.

Just happened to encounter such a situation today, so he had the mentality of giving it a try and asked Zhou Kaitian to show his hand.

If it can be calculated, it will be of great help to the next battle.

In the end, Qiao Lin didn't exaggerate, and Zhou Kaitian lived up to expectations, and it really came out.

Li Yunlong was overjoyed. He found that since he had Qiao Lin, the independent regiment had begun to take the high-end route, developing towards the direction of elite soldiers and strong generals.

In addition to the substantial improvement in the combat quality of the fighters of the six battalions, treasures began to appear in the independent regiment one after another.

The cavalry company is a treasure, and now the artillery company can also be regarded as a treasure.

Thinking of the cavalry company, thinking of the 33 sacrificed soldiers, and the remaining soldiers lying on the hospital bed, Li Yunlong's teeth began to itch again.

Anyone who dares to touch Lao Tzu will take down whatever Boyang City says.

Kong Jie naturally couldn't feel Li Yunlong's rich psychological changes, and he didn't expect that Captain Li was thinking about the aftermath of conquering Boyang City at the moment, and all his interests were now focused on Zhou Kaitian.

"Commander Zhou, your calculation... er... Prejudgment, what exactly is it? Is it based on evidence or calculated?"

Kong Jie asked stutteringly.

To lose his composure in front of a subordinate, Kong Jie's personality is more than that, the main reason is that Zhou Kaitian shocked him too much.

His question was actually quite simple. To sum it up in one sentence, Zhou Kaitian was able to predict in advance where the little devil would shoot, whether he relied on science or metaphysics.

"Deputy leader Kong, the basis for this is to obtain the final result through the calculation of numbers."

Zhou Kaitian replied honestly.

It's a pity that his honesty is a bit unpredictable in Kong Jie's eyes.

He understands numbers, and he also understands calculations.

What is digital calculus?He doesn't understand.

"Is that what you wrote down?"

Kong Jie probably didn't want to make his ignorance too obvious, so he asked cleverly.

Because in this way, it seems that I understand it.

"Yes, yes, those numbers written down."

Zhou Kaitian nodded repeatedly.

"But aren't those numbers the coordinates? Do you still need to calculate? You can tell by looking at them."

As we all know, Li Yunlong is a person who doesn't care much about face, and asks when he doesn't understand.

Aren't the numbers Zhou Kaitian wrote down the coordinates of the battalions of the Independent Regiment?Are you still counting?

Not to mention the battalion commanders of each battalion, just find any company commander and walk around the position to write out all the coordinates of each battalion.

Kong Jie heaved a sigh of relief, and Li Yunlong asked the question he wanted to know the most.

"But this coordinate is not visible, but calculated through calculation."

Zhou Kaitian shook his head, the six digital coordinates are correct, but they are not the coordinates that can be seen.

"Can't you see it too? Why do you still have to count it?"

Li Yunlong continued to ask if he didn't understand.

"Uh..."

This question is a bit difficult for Zhou Kaitian, he is struggling with which way to answer it.

To be more professional is in line with my original intention. The question is, can the team leader understand?

If it is more popular, will the leader feel that he is fooling him?

"Let's put it this way, these calculated numbers are the coordinates of each battalion, yes, but they are accurate coordinates. The error is controlled within five centimeters, which is equivalent to the position of a person, and each battalion can have more than one person. How many people are there? Warrior, how many coordinates are there? For example, there are three of us. After calculation, there will be three coordinates. But at a glance, the three of us are in the same coordinate. coordinates, rather than approximate coordinates, so that we can get the reference and basis for prediction.”

Zhou Kaitian finally decided to merge the professional and the popular, trying to make the team leader understand.

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie stared at each other, feeling even more confused.

"You mean, only after calculation can we know that the little devil's shells hit this place?"

After a long silence, Kong Jie asked.

He almost squeezed his brains out, and he only thought of this level.

This is not to say that Kong Jie's brain is not enough. As the saying goes, there are specialties in art, and people have specialties.

Like Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, their specialty is commanding operations, rather than studying how artillery is positioned.

Let them calculate the coordinates of the shelling. Two people tied together are no match for the most ordinary artillery company soldiers.

In the same way, if Zhou Kaitian were to command the battle, apart from the artillery company, he probably wouldn't know what the other six battalions should do.

"Let's put it this way, we can distinguish the coordinates with the naked eye, but there is no way to know which coordinate the little devil's shell will hit, so we need to calculate to predict the target position of the little devil, so can the two regiment leaders understand? "

Zhou Kaitian figured it out, his explanation was beyond the comprehension of the two regiment leaders, so he simply put it in a simpler way.

"Oh, I probably understand a little bit. There are countless coordinates in our position, but the little devil only has six infantry guns. No one knows where these six guns are aimed, so you have to calculate them Find out the six coordinates that the little devil is going to attack, right?"

Li Yunlong's reaction was faster than Kong Jie's. After hearing Zhou Kaitian's explanation, he seemed to be able to understand the function of this calculation.

"Yes, yes, that's what it means."

Zhou Kaitian nodded quickly, and finally understood.

"But, how did you calculate the six coordinates where the little devil will attack?"

Kong Jie probably understood what Li Yunlong meant, but he had a new problem.

The coordinates are dead, whether it is the positions of the battalions of the independent regiment, or the infantry guns that the little devils put on the city wall.

But the cannonball has no coordinates, only the target, and the cannonball will hit that direction wherever the muzzle is facing. How does Zhou Kaitian know where the little devil's cannonball is going to hit? Can this be obtained through calculation?

"Uh, this involves more professional knowledge. First of all, we need to determine the specific coordinates of the little devil's infantry cannon, so that we can judge which direction the cannon is firing after ejecting from the chamber. Secondly, we need to analyze the angle of the muzzle and the distance Based on the height of the ground, combined with the angle and height, you can get the approximate range of the little devil’s attack, and finally calculate the exact impact point based on the distance between the two sides’ positions, combined with factors such as wind speed and weather.”
