War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 196 What is the secret position?
Toronto, station.

How could Wang Changhai have time to think about Xu Chaoyang?
The moment he saw the train, he turned his horse around and rushed back!
Now Duolun is the border, who would have the time to send a train here?
"drive!"

When Wang Changhai rode back to the city and arrived at Duolun Station, Clemens was already waiting at the station. The moment he saw Wang Changhai, he said with a smile on his face: "Captain Wang..."

Wang Changhai dismounted and stepped forward, directly crossing the railway track. Without even saying a word, he reached out and lifted the rain cover on the train car. The next second...

Wang Changhai turned around and glared at Clemens: "Are you kidding me?"

There were no weapons on the vehicle, only logs, all worthless logs that had not even been processed roughly. Some of the logs had branches sticking out of them.

Clemens smiled and said, "Captain Wang, if I pack all the weapons directly into boxes, do you think you will be able to see them after they arrive in Lushun?"

He approached Wang Changhai and said, "Who among the warlords along the way would not be jealous when seeing this batch of goods? How many checkpoints do I have to bribe so that you can see it? Merchants will not do things that only increase costs."

"Come on, unload the logs!"

The workers came over. In this era without cranes, the workers carried the logs one by one onto their shoulders. The moment four or five workers were unloading a log, one of Clemens's men lay on the log and searched carefully. After finally finding the connection, he began to pry with a crowbar and a hammer.

After the hammer smashed the crowbar into the wood, several crowbars pushed up at the same time, and finally with a "click" sound, they pried open the log that had long been broken apart and connected with rivets. Looking at the log again, it was almost hollowed out inside.

Several brand new G98 rifles were placed in it one by one, and each rifle was fixed in bundles with nails and ropes. The tightness of the binding was really full of German stereotypes, which made people like it at first sight.

Wang Changhai quickly removed the G98 rifle from the bundle, pulled out one, pulled the bolt with the empty chamber, and then pulled the trigger. At that moment a "click" sound was heard, a smile naturally appeared on his face.

Wang Changhai immediately looked up at Clemens: "Where are the bullets? Where are the cannons?"

He was like an unsatisfied child, and suddenly remembered all the promises his parents had made.

"Wang Tuan, what are you in such a hurry for?"

As the logs were taken down one by one, MG30 machine guns, grenades fixed in position, and bulk bullets filling the grooves inside the logs appeared one after another among the pried open logs!
When the next one was pried open, two short and sturdy gun barrels were flashing with steel brilliance in the sun.

"Captain Wang, this type of gun was recently submitted as the IG18 infantry gun. Although we can dismantle the gun and transport all the parts, the wheels on the gun carriage cannot be transported. We can't find logs that thick."

"You have to solve this problem yourself."

"The shells..."

When another log was pried open, a cannonball separated by weeds appeared in front of Wang Changhai inside the whole log. Wang Changhai felt more fond of this thing than his wife. He squatted down and stroked it with his hand, his eyes full of love, not afraid of danger at all.

"Uh-huh!!!"

When another horse appeared, a group of infantry rushed over. Xu Chaoyang's voice rang out at this moment: "Come on, surround the area and no outsiders are allowed to approach!"

He was leading not just a company, but Lao Huang's battalion. When a battalion of soldiers stood here, Wang Changhai stood up reluctantly, slapping his palms, and turned back as if there was a lot of dust on his hands.

He was afraid that the soldiers would see him being so careless, so he said, "Chaoyang, take the people, sort the bullets, check the guns, assemble the infantry guns, and pull them out to try..."

"You're not going to train... what are you training for?"

"Yes, the whole regiment's firepower configuration, just practice it by hand." Old Huang looked at Xu Chaoyang with a smile, and whispered softly: "Just now he was on the training ground, ready to kill this and that, but now everything has changed."

Xu Chaoyang rolled his eyes at him and spoke without holding back: "You are fucking unpopular."

How could he insult his own leader in front of outsiders? Clemens was standing there!
Wang Changhai looked down on Old Huang, not because Old Huang was incompetent on the battlefield. The fact that Old Huang was still a battalion commander under Wang Changhai today, and the commander of the first battalion at that, just proved that this man's ability had been recognized.

"Tong Meng, Yang Jingyu!"

"Yes!"

As soon as these two people stepped out, almost the entire company knew what was going to happen.

"Take our people and follow orders. Pull the ammunition needed for today to the training ground, and send the rest to the armoury!"

How treacherous is Xu Chaoyang?

According to the formal procedures, you have to store everything first, and then take out as much as you need. He didn't do that, and directly diverted it!

If the quartermaster asked, it was the order of the regiment commander; if the regiment commander asked, he would just say, "I, Xu Chaoyang, am an outsider, and I don't understand the procedures of the 217th Regiment. I will definitely not do it this way next time." He even thought about how to admit his mistake. As for how much Tong Meng, who was the housekeeper of the company, could get back for himself...

Xu Chaoyang looked at the cannon in front of him and asked curiously, "What is the firing range of this infantry cannon?"

"Left and right 12 degrees."

"What about the pitch angle?"

"Minus 10 degrees to plus 73 degrees."

Why did he ask this? Because Xu Chaoyang had to train the artillery himself after understanding these things.

What are the factors that affect the accuracy of a gun? Of course, it is the scale, direction and height, which are the "scale XXX", "direction left/right XX" and "height plus/minus XX" in the orders given by artillery officers in various movies and TV series.

The most obvious one is the line in the movie: "Keep a distance of 150 meters, slowly move forward, high and low plus five, and 17 meters to the left."

The mil position used in the military is: 360 degrees = 6000 mil position, marked as 60-00 mil position.

Only by knowing these things can we calculate the various parameters under the measurement of the actuary and thus adjust the accuracy of the landing point of the shell.

Of course, in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, that is, this era, secret positions were hardly used on the battlefield. It was not because many artillerymen were directly put on the job after simple training, and they did not know how to count.

Most of the soldiers trained in this way rely on a feeling when firing. If you ask them to reason, they may not be able to explain it, but if you ask them to fire, they always feel that they can do it pretty well. These artillerymen are fed with artillery shells in wealthy troops.

Can Xu Chaoyang afford to feed her?
Not to mention him, the entire 29th Army can’t afford to feed him!
Then we have to pick out the tallest ones from the short ones. First, pick out those who can read, then teach them how to calculate, and finally change those who have learned how to calculate into artillerymen, and train them through calculation methods combined with practice (the specific calculation methods have been mentioned in the previous article).

Therefore, during the war years, especially during the Anti-Japanese War, those who could read rarely led the charge as vanguards. They had many things to do...
