Chapter 197: Testing and Water Cannon (55)

When the kitchen staff set up the stove and started preparing the ingredients,
While peeling sweet potatoes and potatoes, He Yuzhu looked at the mountain in the distance which was not only very steep but also much higher than other mountains.

Asked Zhang Lianlong,

"Squad leader, these bandits really know how to choose a place.
You see, this mountain is so high and steep, it will be difficult for the soldiers to fight!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lianlong also glanced into the distance and nodded solemnly.

"It's not easy to fight.
It seems that those people in the Beiping Secret Service are still quite capable."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Lianlong felt something was wrong and was afraid that it would affect morale, so he started laughing.
“It is said that the high-ranking officers under the bald man are all useless. Such a large territory was lost in just over a year. They are not as capable as the people under his command.

But no matter how patient you are,
They are just small fry, how can they make any waves? "

"Yes, people like them are only fit to hide in the mountains now.

Sooner or later, we will destroy them."

Although He Yuzhu said this, he still disagreed with Zhang Lianlong's statement in some places.

The senior officers under the bald man are still quite capable. At least commanding a force of several thousand or tens of thousands of people is not a problem.
Otherwise, we would not have been able to defeat those military leaders in the early years.

But what made them encounter later were large-scale battles involving hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. The demands and energy consumption of such a large-scale battle on the commanders were not comparable to the small-scale battles in the early years.
Those pampered guys are naturally no match for the well-trained group of gods from Da Xia.

The deployment of troops for battle,
The deployment of battle formations is quite time-consuming.
In addition to the time spent in the mountains, when He Yuzhu and his team had already started cooking, the artillery company in front began the preliminary firepower preparation.

The infantry also launched a tentative attack.

However, the artillery in this era is a truly high-tech branch of the military.
You need to have a high level of cultural literacy.
Otherwise, ballistics alone would be enough to torture soldiers with low cultural level to death, not to mention other subjects with higher requirements.

Compared with the public security soldiers who switched directly from elite field troops,
Those people in the front artillery company are just fakes.

It is said to be a cannon battery.

In fact, they are the mediocre ones who were eliminated from the army and served as company and platoon leaders.
The remaining artillerymen were just some soldiers selected from the elite infantry in front to serve as temporary artillery shell carriers.

After all, the field troops will not mind the lack of artillery talent.

Two swords are enough to play a supporting role.
Those who can be given to second-line troops like the Public Security Bureau are all soldiers who have learned but are not proficient in the art. As long as they can make use of the mortars in the warehouse and not just use them as decoration, it will be fine.

With a dull thud, the shells whistled as they smashed into the opposite mountain.

He Yuzhu first saw a huge ball of fire appear on the opposite mountain peak, and then a violent explosion sounded in his ears.
Then the artillery company began to adjust the firing parameters.
Then there was a fierce bombardment of the mountain.

Although the explosion may sound very loud, its effect depends entirely on luck.

At the same time, the infantry companies below quickly moved towards the mountain under the cover of artillery fire.

The bandits and spies in the mountains who were able to survive around Peking were naturally die-hards and long-time bandits. In addition, they were now trapped on the top of the mountain, fighting like a trapped beast, and their fighting will was also quite tenacious.
What was manifested was that they were not affected at all by the heavy artillery fire.

However, the commanders above were obviously inexperienced and allowed all kinds of light and heavy weapons to fire at the same time. It looked powerful but actually did nothing. Lin Zheng and his team saw that they had achieved their purpose of testing.
The artillery cannot be relied upon.
Naturally, they would not order a violent attack at all costs, but would just maintain a certain scale of the offensive to consume the opponent's ammunition.

After a while, He Yuzhu and his friends had their meal ready.

When the kitchen team delivered meals to each company,
Zhang Lianlong did not ask He Yuzhu to go to the front, but asked him to deliver meals to the comrades in the artillery company.

Faced with his kindness, He Yuzhu naturally would not refuse. He carried the basket and staggered to the small hill where the artillery company was located.

Although He Yuzhu, a veteran soldier, thought that the artillery company's deployment was not up to standard,

But they still had some common sense and knew to set up the cannons on the other side of the hill, creating a reverse slope position.

Just because there was no artillery fire on the hill, it did not mean that the enemy had no artillery.
The positions were set up directly in front of the hill.

Then he started shouting,
"Comrades, it's time to eat. Only when you are full will you have the strength to continue working."

Hearing He Yuzhu's shout, the artillery company commander Miao Xuegang put down his telescope and started to greet,

"Hey, Comrade Xiao He is here. What do you want to eat today?"

"What can we eat? It's the same old thing, potatoes and radishes. Today's staple food is better than at home, sweet potato and sorghum rice."

"Okay, okay, okay, this food is already very good."

After speaking to He Yuzhu with a smile, Miao Xuegang called upon the dozens of soldiers from his artillery company.
"It's time for dinner, comrades.
Except for the comrades on guard, everyone came to eat in batches, and continued to bombard them after dinner. "

After serving the meal to his comrades, He Yuzhu did not leave with the basket immediately, but looked at the mortar on the position with some curiosity.

Miao Xuegang naturally noticed He Yuzhu's expression, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he smiled and asked,

"How about the pillar? You've never played it before!"

Although due to the system, He Yuzhu can use artillery, whether it is bombardment artillery or heavy artillery, he knows how to use various types of artillery,

But he had never actually operated it, so he was so surprised to see the mortar,
Miao Xuegang asked, so naturally he answered along the lines of what he said.
"No, I'm pretty good with guns.

But I often see mortars in the warehouse of the police station, but I have never played with them. I am quite envious of them. "

Seeing He Yuzhu's envious look, Miao Yonggang immediately laughed.
"That's right, how can a gun compare to a cannon?
The sound of gunfire in Beiping would be nothing, but if there were artillery fire, I think the top leaders of the Military Control Commission would be so nervous that they would break out in cold sweats.
It is naturally impossible for the leaders of the branch to let you play with this thing.

how about it,
Now is a rare opportunity, why don't you try firing a few shots later?"

Hearing him let him fire two shots to try, He Yuzhu was a little tempted, but he also knew the rules.

As a member of the kitchen team, I cannot just come to the artillery company to visit during wartime. Otherwise, I will be directly punished by military law.

So he asked calmly,
"Miao Lian, this is no joke. Can you really let me try?"
