Ye Anran held up the telescope and observed the target location in the distance that was about to be bombarded.
If Zhang Erpao didn't brag and could hit the target he just designated, he would definitely be considered a talent.
He has seen what Sun Maotian is capable of.
Now, he wanted to see the abilities of the military commanders of the Tiger Regiment's artillery and cavalry battalions.
Ye Anran didn't want his artillery to kill indiscriminately as soon as he arrived on the battlefield.
In the end, he killed a thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses.
At this time, the artillery force is one of the main forces providing cover and fire support to the infantry.
Due to the harsh conditions, artillery accidental injuries to friendly forces occurred from time to time.
Ye Anran wants to ensure that the artillery of his regiment, while becoming the hope of the infantry, will not become the nightmare of his own infantry.
Zhang Erpao squatted next to the 105mm gun, holding a telescope in one hand and opening the gun breech with the other.
The artilleryman next to him loaded a shell into the barrel!
"The target is directly in front, 1,500 meters away!"
The soldiers of the artillery battalion began to adjust the gun positions according to Zhang Erpao's instructions.
"The muzzle elevation is 30!"
"Correction 8 to the left!"
When the soldiers in the artillery battalion finished the operation, Zhang Erpao still squatted down uneasy and looked at the ruler data.
When all preparations were completed, Zhang Erpao did not forget to turn around and taunt Ye Anran.
"Captain Ye, you will never be able to change the Tiger Regiment's designation in this lifetime."
…
"Who gave you the confidence?"
"The experience of a ten-year veteran gunner! Fire!"
Boom~
The 105mm mountain gun made a loud noise, and the retardant barrel exited the shell. Almost at the same time, an explosion sounded in the woods on the hillside in the distance!
Everyone looked towards the hillside in the distance.
Zhang Erpao continued to adjust the focus of the telescope, trying to see whether he had hit the target.
When the black smoke from the explosion dissipated, Zhang Erpao was stunned.
Missed!
The shell exploded in front of the target's barrier without damaging the target.
Zhang Erpao sat down on the ground with a guilty conscience. He was embarrassed and humiliated.
Ye Anran glanced at the target location.
Then he looked at the frustrated Zhang Erpao, "As a gunner, it is normal for the first shell to miss the target. The gunner will often correct the trajectory based on the first shell."
"You correct the elevation to 32 and 7 to the left."
"try again!"
Li Yukui and Sun Maotian looked at Ye Anran in surprise.
It’s so cool when he teaches people how to do things!
He is more handsome than Chief of Staff Xie Ke who was born in Baoding Military Academy!
Zhang Erpao was dubious. He stood up and walked behind the 105 artillery breech. He squatted down and said to his soldiers: "I will do it myself this time!"
According to Ye Anran's words, he corrected the elevation angle by 32 mils, corrected it by 8 to the left, and then opened the breech to load the shells.
After making these preparations, Zhang Erpao closed the breech, grabbed the gun primer with both hands, and pulled hard.
boom!
As the explosion resounded through the military camp, the shell shell also exited the barrel. There was a boom in the distance, and three pines and cypresses fell neatly!
Hit?
Zhang Erpao quickly raised his telescope and stared at the fallen target in the distance. How could it be possible?
Everyone looked at Ye Anran in surprise.
Impressed!
This time, no one whistled or booed. Everyone was so cold that their noses were bubbling, and they didn't forget to give Ye Anran a thumbs up.
"Captain Ye, how did you do it?"
Zhang Erpao's temper got much better.
Ye Anran said calmly: "The barrier directly in front of the target is about one meter higher than the target."
"A few pines and cypresses that serve as a barrier are old. The spreading branches and twigs will detonate the fuse of the artillery shell in advance. Your elevation angle needs to be 2mm higher than the barrier and avoid the obstacles that trigger the fuse to hit the target. !”
…
Zhang Erpao was convinced.
He gave Ye Anran a thumbs up and almost burst into tears.
"Okay, tell me where you plan to fight, and I'll stand guard there!"
"There's no need to stand guard. Just save one shell. You can use it to fight the Japanese."
Ye Anran rejected his idea of dedicating himself to the bet and asked, "Are you convinced?"
"Impressed!"
"Can't you still be stubborn?"
"Don't be stubborn anymore!"
"It's okay if you don't be stubborn, but Zhang Erpao, remember it for me."
"Today you smashed the golden sign of a ten-year-old gunner. I allow you to miss it! But if one day, your artillery battalion drops a cannonball on the head of our soldiers, I will use you to block the cannon holes!"
Ye Anran stared at Zhang Erpao and spoke every word very clearly.
He just wants to tell the artillery battalion that as a fire support unit, they are allowed to be inaccurate, but they will never tolerate the shells they fire falling on their own heads!
Zhang Erpao and the soldiers in the artillery camp heard clearly.
He faced Ye Anran, stood at attention, saluted, and responded loudly: "Commander, please don't worry, if something like that really happens, I am willing to block the blast hole with my head!"
Ye Anran nodded, "I will take this as a military order issued by your artillery battalion commander to me."
"yes!"
…
Zhang Erpao himself did not expect that this would be the situation.
But no matter what, the military order has been established.
If the artillery battalion does not study and train more in the future, he will really have to plug the artillery holes with his head in the second artillery.
Having eliminated the two battalion-level commanders in the regiment at once, Ye Anran felt much more relaxed.
He looked directly at Li Yukui.
Li Yukui was stunned for a moment, "Captain, from now on our group will be called the Shadow Group. I will definitely obey!"
…
Before Ye Anran could react, Li Yukui changed his tune.
However, cavalry combat is indeed not his strong point.
Although he is the military commander of the shadow force, the force is located in a hidden base with convenient transportation, and missions are usually escorted by transport helicopters and armed helicopters.
Only in extremely remote areas would cavalry troops patrol the border lines.
Ye Anran asked again, and the entire regiment remained silent.
He took advantage of this opportunity and changed the Tiger Regiment's designation to the Shadow Regiment.
Perhaps he had been with the Shadow Troop for a long time, and he wanted to leave some thoughts and legacy to the Shadow Troop.
The three battalion commanders quickly returned to the team.
Ye Anran's eyes swept across the faces of all the officers and soldiers in the regiment. He calmly asked: "Do you know why it is called the Shadow Regiment?"
"have no idea!"
"The shadow is the only thing in the world that no one can catch."
"It can hide in the darkness, or it can appear in the light, it can take the initiative, or it can appear quietly behind enemy lines!"
"I hope you can understand that the shadow army is by no means synonymous with weakness!"
"From now on, I hope every shadow member present will remember that you are no longer the tiger that Wu Song captured. You will become the nightmare of the Japanese! Become the nightmare of the enemy!"
