Chapter 1063: , live fire

Chapter 1063, Live Fire

Shaking his head.

Just think about it.

Military power is very sensitive.

Can you still surpass Comrade Jianfeng? He doesn’t even have military power!

But it’s okay to be behind the scenes.

The so-called special correspondent is the one directing behind the scenes!

As long as the fortress garrison obeys your command, any name is acceptable.

"here…"

Just about to speak. Suddenly stopped.

The edge of the map shows that a large number of white dots are coming.

There are many weapon symbols. There are pistols, rifles, and submachine guns. Probably some big shot?

Sure enough, after a while, someone hurriedly came to report. It was said that Xu Kang, the commander-in-chief of defense, was here.

"Commander-in-Chief Xu..." Chen Shutong hesitated to speak.

“I’ll go and greet you.” Zhang Yong straightened his posture.

Others are also commanders-in-chief after all. Although it is not popular. Be polite before fighting.

Wrong. Wrong idiom used. It should be: a smile hides a sword, a sweet talk hides a sword.

So there was a warm smile on her cheeks.

Chen Shutong was even more worried. Is this guy really here to arrest someone? Don't you want to arrest Commander-in-Chief Xu?

Zhang Yong took great strides forward.

Soon, I saw a large group of people coming down the mountain.

They are surrounded by a big boss. The boss's collar badge has three stars.

Hey guys, it’s really three stars!

Oh, they haven’t started changing their clothes yet. It hasn’t been adapted yet!

Their current military ranks are all irregular.

If it is the Quanxu military rank, it is hard to say whether there is a star or not. The jam in Quanxu Hall is very tight.

Why is it so strict? Will he deliberately hold his military rank?

The main reason is that Quanxu Hall accepts dual leadership. In addition to Lao Chiang, Lao Wang can also give instructions. Naturally, you will not be promoted smoothly.

Lao Wang did this originally because he wanted to create some trouble for Lao Jiang and show his sense of existence. But he didn't expect that he would offend the military. Almost all officers, whether direct lineage or miscellaneous, are full of hostility towards Lao Wang. Especially those motley crew.

It is difficult for officers in the motley army to be promoted, but you, Lao Wang, are still deliberately stuck. Isn't this just causing hatred? As a result, there were not as many people who hated Lao Chiang as there were those who hated Lao Wang. This is also the reason why Lao Wang, as the second-largest figure in the Fruit Party, has never been able to attract any military support. He himself blocked his own way.

If he works hard to get benefits for the miscellaneous troops, he might be able to win over one or two.

This is what Li and Bai did later. It worked.

I suspect that Lao Jiang set up a trap for Lao Wang, but there is no evidence.

“Commander-in-Chief Xu.”

“Special correspondent.”

"please."

Zhang Yong greeted Xu Kang warmly.

Xu Kang was in poor health. Looks a little sallow and thin. Do you suspect hepatitis?

These days, hepatitis is also a very troublesome disease. It is difficult to cure. Because there are no antibiotics. Of course, if it is viral hepatitis, antibiotics will not be effective.

“Commander-in-Chief Xu, your body...”

“You are old and useless. It is better for you young people!”

“Didn’t you ask a foreign doctor to take a look?”

“I’ve seen it and taken a lot of western medicine. But it’s useless.”

“What does Chinese medicine say?”

“Famous doctors from all over the country have also seen me a lot. I’m just hanging on to my life.”

"I see."

Zhang Yong did not comfort the other party either. What's the use of comforting.

The words of comfort heard by others can fill the Yangtze River.

“The special commissioner is here this time…”

"It happened suddenly. The commission suddenly ordered me to come for inspection. I didn't dare to neglect, so I came."

“Then, Commissioner, where do you want to start your inspection?”

“Let’s take a look at the live ammunition first.”

“Live ammunition…”

Xu Kang was silent. It was quiet all around.

Zhang Yong then knew that they felt sorry for the cannonball. Not willing to use it for training. After all, shells are valuable. They are all golden bumps!

Whether it is 105mm or 150mm shells, they are too expensive.

Every shot must be approved by Xu Kang.

And there is no way he would approve it. I simply couldn’t bear to part with it.

There aren't many artillery shells to begin with, and your training has been wasted. How can you fight in the future?

Is training a waste of ammunition?

Many people thought so at the time. real.

The same goes for the bullets in the hands of infantrymen. Not willing to use it for training. Bullets are fired only on the battlefield.

Suddenly someone came in a hurry.

"Report."

"What's up?"

“A ship came to the dock. It was arranged by the special commissioner.”

"Boat?"

Xu Kang turned to look at Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong was also a little surprised.

Is the sand transporting ship so fast? Did the artillery shells arrive so quickly?

I thought it would take them a day and a night if they took the water route. Frankly speaking, the speed of sand transporting ships is too slow.

“Oh, I arranged it. The ship is transporting 105 shells.”

“Cannonball?”

“Yes. Captured from the Japanese invaders.”

"That's great."

Xu Kang was very happy.

What the fortress needs most now is ammunition.

Especially large-caliber artillery shells.

It’s really one shot and one shot missing.

So, he was reluctant to use it for live-fire training.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yong could actually get cannonballs. Could this be the reason why he came to inspect?

I came here to patrol, not to cause trouble for them. But to replenish ammunition?

“That’s more than a hundred rounds.”

“That’s a lot.”

“I’ll go to the dock to have a look.”

“I’ll go with you.”

Xu Kang couldn’t wait.

Others are also very happy. looking forward.

This Comrade, the special commissioner, is quite good! Can actually get large-caliber artillery shells. That's a treasure.

Especially Guo Baokun. Cheeks flushed. Eyes glowing.

He wanted to engage in live ammunition shooting.

However, it is impossible for Commander-in-Chief Xu to approve it.

The only hope is the special commissioner.

Since the shells were brought by the special commissioner, it must be the special commissioner who made the decision!

Hurry to the dock.

Zhang Yong discovered that it was not a sand-carrying ship. But it is an ordinary transport ship.

The people on the boat were also ordinary. Don't know him at all.

The weirdest thing is that the map doesn't show them. It's as if they don't exist at all.

They don’t speak either. Like a wooden sculpture.

Zhang Yong was secretly suspicious.

This is…

Is it sent by the system?

No way?

Is the system so outrageous?

Create a transport ship out of thin air? That 0.55 million ton large-scale drive...

result…

　　【Weapon module failed to start...】

【Try to repair...】

【Startup failed…】

【Ammunition module is being strengthened...】

【Strengthening success...】

System information flashes in a series.

Zhang Yong:? ? ?

What does it mean?

It means that the system cannot make weapons? But ammo can be provided?

In other words, there is no hope for the 100,000 055s?

There are no more 300,000 J-16s?

What kind of broken system...

Turn your head. Said to Commander-in-Chief Xu: "Arrange for people to unload the goods!"

“Okay. Okay. Okay.” Commander-in-Chief Xu smiled with a smile on his face. Arrange immediately. The dock suddenly became busy.

Zhang Yong didn’t know exactly how much ammunition the system had sent.

Data will not be available until the cargo is unloaded.

Good guy, such an ordinary transport ship brought a full 500 rounds of 88mm anti-aircraft shells, 500 rounds of 105mm howitzer shells, 500 rounds of 150mm howitzer shells, and 10,000 rounds of 20mm ejector shells. Useless machine gun shells. All packed in boxes. Stacked to the brim.

but…

etc!

Why Oerlikon?

Jiangyin Fortress is equipped with the Sulotong 20mm machine gun!

Did you make a mistake somewhere?

You should give me 20mm Sulothong machine gun shells!

Fainted to death!

“Commander-in-Chief Xu, does the fortress have an Oerlikon 20mm machine gun?”

"Let me ask."

Zhang Yong:…

Well, Commander-in-Chief Xu is really...

You don’t even know if Jiangyin Fortress has an Oerlikon cannon? It's a bit too much!

However, Commander-in-Chief Xu didn’t care at all.

He is smiling all over his face now. It was simply a joy.

Looking at Zhang Yong, it was as if he was looking at a money-giving boy. No, it's more important than the money-giving boy.

A boat full of cannonballs! Even money can't buy it.

"No."

“Where is it?”

"Let me ask."

Zhang Yong:…

Commander-in-Chief Xu was speechless.

I don’t know anything!

However, Commander-in-Chief Xu’s thoughts were not on him at all.

His whole mind was on the cannonball.

With great difficulty, he brought his mind back.

“Special correspondent.”

“Commander-in-Chief, you say.”

“Let’s talk.”

"good."

Zhang Yong walked aside with him.

Others are very sensible and retreat. So as not to disturb.

Lu Hai and others were still on alert nearby.

“Commander-in-Chief…”

"Commissioner, I am old and in poor health. From now on, I will leave it to the commissioner to handle the fortress matters."

“Please me?”

“Yes. Please.”

"Why?" "We are arranged here, and we are actually just eating and waiting to die. We have limited abilities and cannot change the status quo. Since the special commissioner can send so much ammunition to the fortress, he must also be able to get more weapons to the fortress. and troops.”

"this…"

Zhang Yong slowly shook his head.

There seems to be ammunition. But there are probably no weapons.

The system is never able to directly provide weapons. Unless it's to catch a spy. Seized. Or buy it from foreigners.

As for the troops, this is even more difficult. He did not have authority to mobilize troops.

It is very taboo to directly intervene in military power.

But, suddenly I remembered something. Thinking of the five hundred anti-Japanese comrades on Chongming Island.

It is more difficult for them to survive on Chongming Island, and they cannot appear publicly. However, if they are all arranged to Jiangyin Fortress...

Of course, I did not use the title of anti-Japanese elements. Instead, they were recruited temporarily by themselves.

Now I have a lot of titles, and I have arranged for hundreds of people to be sent to Jiangyin Fortress. That's normal, right?

There were only a few hundred people, so Chiang Kai-shek wouldn't take it seriously. It is estimated that no one will report to Chiang Kai-shek secretly.

right. that's all.

Anyone who comes from now on will be arranged at Jiangyin Fortress.

"good."

Zhang Yong quickly changed his tune.

Xu Kang breathed a sigh of relief. It feels like a big burden has been given away.

Although he is a mixed bag, he also knows that China and Japan will have a war sooner or later. When the time comes, Jiangyin Fortress will definitely bear the brunt.

Without enough weapons and ammunition, and without enough defenders, the fortress is waiting to die.

If it was before, he would not have the ability to improve the situation.

But now, Zhang Yong is here, maybe he can.

Wrong.

　　　Not maybe. Yes for sure.

When Zhang Yong first arrived, he immediately brought a boat full of artillery shells!

Who can do it?

Since Xu Kang is willing to cooperate, Zhang Yong is welcome.

“The main force of the defenders…”

“Alas, Wang Jialie’s double spearmen...”

“There are no other troops?”

"No."

Xu Kang shook his head. sigh. have no choice.

He used the word "hodgepodge" to describe the current Jiangyin Fortress.

confusion.

　　　displayed in ruins.

Especially the 103rd Division of the Guizhou Army that was just transferred. People's hearts are floating. Soldiers often fled.

It is said that there were about 11,000 people when they arrived. It was the original three divisions of the Guizhou Army compressed into one division. However, only half a year after arriving in Jiangyin Fortress, more than a thousand people fled one after another. There may be just over 9,000 people left now. There may still be people fleeing.

“Where is their division commander?”

“I’m sick. I went to Shanghai to recuperate.”

“Where’s the deputy division commander?”

“I’m also sick. I’m going home to marry my little wife.”

"this…"

Zhang Yong was speechless.

The division commander is not here, and neither is the deputy division commander. Who is directing?

Could it be that Chiang Kai-shek deliberately arranged it? Let yourself be the teacher?

Then test yourself to see if you are contaminated by military power?

“Chief of Staff Cheng Zhigao is currently in command. His nickname is Cheng Yaojin. He has a bad temper. He has a deep grudge against the commission. You were sent by the commission, so he will not come to see you."

“He’s not worried about being removed from office?”

"He was removed from his post and the 103rd Division was really dispersed. There was no need. All the 103rd Division had were fire sticks and there was no threat."

“What kind of fire stick?”

“They are equipped with old sleeves that don’t even have rifling. There is not a single heavy machine gun or a mortar in the entire division. There are also less than thirty light machine guns.”

"Oh. That's okay. Even if it's placed at the door of the committee, you don't have to worry."

“This…be careful what you say!”

Xu Kang looked strange. Subconscious correction.

Zhang Yong, this guy, actually chews the commissioner’s tongue behind his back? Not a pug?

Can't understand.

However, remind yourself to be careful when speaking in the future.

Zhang Yong never mentioned this matter again. Turn around.

“Guo Baokun.”

"arrive."

“Prepare for live-fire assessment.”

"ah?"

Guo Baokun was not stunned. Just pure excitement.

The expectation has finally become a reality. Finally it’s time to shoot live. It finally came true.

"did not hear clearly?"

"yes!"

Guo Baokun answered loudly and hurriedly.

　　show the same energy as when you first stepped into Whampoa Military Academy and answered the question for the first time.

I wish my voice could soar through the sky.

“All 88 guns and 105 and 150 howitzers will participate in the live ammunition assessment.”

"yes."

“Each gun fires three rounds.”

"yes."

Guo Baokun left happily.

Here, Xu Kang also ordered everyone to cooperate. He also wanted to see the effects of live fire.

I didn’t have any shells before, so I was reluctant to give them up. Now that it is, of course it is approved.

He also deliberately cultivated Zhang Yong's prestige. From now on, Zhang Yong, the special commissioner, can issue orders directly from the fortress.

Various preparations…

The target ship sets off…

Zhang Yong noticed that there were also large groups of white dots appearing on the edge of the map.

Hands to Xu Kang to raise the telescope for observation.

“It’s Cheng Zhigao.”

"oh."

Zhang Yong actually guessed it.

I am a special commissioner after all. He is the "confidant lackey" of the Commission.

Cheng Zhigao cannot be completely indifferent.

Even if you are hostile, you still have to come and observe your movements.

This chief of staff should have some skills. Able to control the entire 103rd Division. To fight a war, we need people like this.

But, let it dry for now.

Zhang Yong is not a jobber either. Don't put a hot face against a cold butt.

We believe in equal treatment.

Busy…

excited…

Some officers were happy, feeling that they finally had a chance to prove their strength.

But some officers were uneasy. Worry about being exposed. I usually just fish for fish and haven't trained well at all. You definitely can't hide it once you fire it.

"let's start!"

Zhang Yong waved his hand. Order to shoot.

Let’s start from the Huangshan Fort first. The on-site commander is Guo Baokun.

He is the only Huangpu student in such a huge fortress.

Zhang Yong appointed him to the post, and no one else had any objections.

Are you a Huangpu student?

no?

Then shut up!

Go to Huangpu Military Academy first!

“Bang!”

First the 105mm howitzer started firing.

The distance to the target ship is approximately five kilometers. It is difficult to see clearly with the naked eye. But both telescopes and gunscopes are fine.

Although Germans are very ruthless in making money. But the accompanying equipment is still very complete. The gun scopes are all high-end goods.

Zhang Yong raised his telescope.

Cannonballs exploded in the distance.

Stir up high water droplets. The telescope can see very clearly.

but…

The landing point is not good.

The error is large.

Conservatively estimated to be more than 100 meters.

A bit outrageous.

Hence, there is a big difference between theoretical calculations and live ammunition operations.

Because theoretical calculations cannot accurately determine the wear of the gun barrel, many parameters cannot be determined. Including recoil and so on.

Corrected shooting elements.

Then keep shooting.

“Bang!”

This time, we finally got a little closer. The error is about twenty meters.

Zhang Yong nodded. There is a big improvement. If the target is a Japanese warship, it may be hit.

But the third shot didn’t work again.

But the base was shaken loose. The projectile ejection chamber produced serious deviations.

So, we still need live-fire drills! Otherwise, even if you can think of the vibration and loosening of the base, there is no way to calculate it!

well…

The next one is the 88 gun. Direct shooting. The distance is also five kilometers.

The 88 gun can be aimed directly.

Because its muzzle can be tilted downward.
