"How do we compete? Are we shooting fixed targets?" Liu Gen asked in the training ground.

Du Jie took a look at the environment of the training ground. In this training ground, he felt extremely simple. As if such a simple training ground, what else can he do without shooting fixed targets? Du Jie didn't think that he could bring some surprises to himself in this training ground.

"Just shoot a fixed target, compete twice, once compete for accuracy, and the other time for distance." Du Jie said in a deep voice.

The brigade commander frowned slightly. According to Du Jie's competition method, it would be a bit too wasteful of shells. Now the Huangyadong Arsenal can produce the shells needed by various units of the Eighth Route Army, but these shells were produced by the employees of the rear arsenal. It was a little too many to use four shells for one competition.

Liu Gen did not notice the brigade commander's expression, but he still spoke directly: "This is a bit too wasteful of shells. Perhaps for your wealthy Jinsui Army, this shell is nothing."

"But for our Eighth Route Army, every shell is extremely important. In combat, a shell can play a great role."

An officer in the Jinsui Army exchange group chuckled softly, and they couldn't help but feel a little more superior. So what if the Eighth Route Army killed a lot of Japanese devils? In terms of equipment, they were too different from the Jinsui Army. Even if Liu Gen was really powerful, there were not enough shells for him to use in the Eighth Route Army.

For artillery, if there are not enough shells, then it cannot fully exert its value.

"Is there too many? There are not many four shells. On weekdays, our artillery regiment conducts live ammunition training, which is much more than this." Du Jie frowned and said.

Liu Gen was a little helpless. The Jinsui Army was really rich and powerful. If the Eighth Route Army troops had so many artillery shells, even if the Japanese entered the base area to sweep, they would not dare to be too arrogant. The Japanese dared to fight against the continuous sweep of the Japanese base area because the Eighth Route Army's equipment was simple and could not compare with their firepower.

“Too many!”

"Let me do this, I will directly launch a shelling attack. If you can do what I do, I will lose." Liu Gen thought for a moment and thought of a solution.

Du Jie was slightly stunned, and anger appeared on his face. From Liu Gen's words, it seemed that Liu Gen didn't care about his opponent. What does it mean as long as he could do it? Du Jie didn't understand why Liu Gen was so confident. Even if Liu Gen had some strength, he should not be able to be as strong as the artilleryman who came out of the artillery school.

"It seems that you are very confident! OK, I want to see what gives you confidence!" Du Jie said angrily.

Liu Gen smiled lightly, not caring about Du Jie's words. He believed in his ability and believed that his artillery skills were incomparable to Du Jie and others.

His eyes swept through the training ground. The artillery team's training ground was quite large, but for Liu Gen, this training ground was still a little small, making it impossible for him to spread it.

"Brig Commander, please ask your comrades to clean up the area at the 12 o'clock direction and make sure there is no one there." Liu Gen said to the brigade commander.

The brigade commander nodded and understood what Liu Gen meant. It was very important to determine whether there was someone in that area before launching the shelling. If there was any accidental injury, it would be very troublesome. Besides, the brigade headquarters are all soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, so Liu Gen did not want any soldiers to be injured due to the battle between him and Du Jie.

"Please ask everyone from the Shanxi-Suizhou Army to find a fixed target 1,500 meters away." Liu Gen said again.

When choosing to let the officers in the Jinsui Army Exchange Group do this, Liu Gen naturally wanted to prevent some people from saying that all this was arranged by the 386th Brigade. Since he had decided to compete with Du Jie, Liu Gen did not want any problems.

Du Jie was shocked. He couldn't believe the number Liu Gen said, 1,500 meters? If there were other soldiers' assistance and special optical instruments for range measurement, it would not be difficult to hit the target 1,500 meters away. But Du Jie saw that the mortar to be used next, and there were no optical instruments on it.

In other words, Liu Gen needs to measure the distance with his naked eyes to ensure that he can accurately hit a target 1,500 meters away.

Chu Yunfei and others also showed obvious surprise on their faces. Even if they were not professional artillery soldiers, they knew clearly what a distance of 1,500 meters means. Such a distance is not something that ordinary people can achieve. What's more, Liu Gen doesn't have any distance measurement optical instruments in his hands. Can it really be done with just a pair of naked eyes?

Could it be that Liu Gen knew that this was something that could not be done, so he chose to say this? After all, few people could do it. Even if Liu Gen couldn't do it, there would be sufficient reasons? Many people have this idea. If this is true, then Liu Gen's choice to shell the target 1,500 meters away can explain.

Chu Yunfei couldn't help looking at Liu Gen, trying to see Liu Gen's thoughts, but on Liu Gen's face, he could only see a faint confidence, as if he was not worried about his failure. Looking at Liu Gen, Chu Yunfei inexplicably had more confidence in Liu Gen. Perhaps Liu Gen could really do this!

"As artillery, we all know what it means to target 1,500 meters away. Unless we are truly top artillery, it is not that easy to hit a target 1,500 meters away."

"I, Du Jie, don't think you can do it. I can say with certainty that no one among us can do this level! If you really can hit it, then I don't have to bombard it anymore and will directly admit defeat. But the difficulty is too great, I don't think you, a young man, can do it!" Du Jie looked at Liu Gen and said with a serious expression.

Du Jie understands his own abilities. He usually deals with targets within a thousand meters and targets within a thousand meters. He can only rely on continuous test firing to ensure the hit rate of the shells.

Now, the young man Liu Gen wants to hit a target of 1,500 meters away. How could Du Jie believe it?

"Let's watch with your eyes open! Our old captain said that we can do it, then we will definitely do it." Ning Ze couldn't help but speak.

Ning Ze admired Liu Gen quite well. Not to mention a goal of 1,500 meters away, even a goal of further apart, he believed that Liu Gen could achieve it.

The soldiers of the artillery team sent the mortars. This time, Liu Gen and Du Jie competed with an 82mm mortar. With its range, it was enough to ensure that Liu Gen could hit a target 1,500 meters away. Next to the mortar, there was a shell. The soldiers of the artillery team were very confident in Liu Gen and had no idea of ​​preparing a second shell.

Liu Gen squatted down, stroked the mortar with both hands, and carefully inspected the parts of the mortar to avoid problems during the shelling.

It can be seen that the artillery soldiers are very caring for this mortar. There is no dust on the mortar, and it is a little shiny when wiped by the soldiers.

Since the officers of the Jinsui Army had not yet determined what target Liu Gen would attack, Liu Gen could only wait patiently, which made Liu Gen a little helpless. With his ability, as long as the target was determined, he could fire directly. Now, it took so much time for these Jinsui Army to discuss a shelling target, which made Liu Gen a little impatient to wait.

"Hurry up! I don't waste so much time!" After ten minutes, there was no discussion about what result, Liu Gen could only speak.

Even though Liu Gen didn't have much to do in the brigade headquarters, he didn't want to waste his time on such things. With this time, he could teach the brigade artillery soldiers a little more. Liu Gen didn't understand why a small shelling target had no results yet. He kept squatting on the ground, and Liu Gen was a little sleepy.

Chu Yunfei was a little helpless when he saw Liu Gen's impatient face. The other officers had never discussed any results, which made him have no good idea. Who made many of them have higher ranks than him? No matter how powerful Chu Yunfei is, he can't say anything about such a small matter.

No longer cared about when these officers could find the results, Liu Gen stood up, and he came to the artillery soldiers, seized time to tell them some artillery theories, and helped these soldiers answer the accumulated questions.

Seeing that Liu Gen didn't seem to take this contest seriously, Du Jie felt helpless. Could it be that he was really so weak? He couldn't get Liu Gen's attention? Du Jie looked at the officers who were still discussing. As an artillery officer, he always acted very neatly and would not delay too much.

Now looking at the officers discussing, Du Jie suddenly lost the intention to continue to compete with Liu Gen. He realized that the fact that he took the initiative to compete with Liu Gen has probably become a "monkey show" in the eyes of many people. The shelling targets these people are discussing is just to make this "monkey show" look better.

It was not until this time that Du Jie noticed that Brigade Commander Chen of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army disappeared at some point, leaving only his own guards to receive him. Obviously, Brigade Commander Chen had long been affirming the result of this contest and was full of confidence in the young Liu Gen.

Du Jie looked at the other artillery officers who came together and found that they were somewhat excluded. The artillery officers had completely different styles from ordinary officers. How could they easily integrate into those people? Noting this, Du Jie discussed with other artillery officers and walked towards the location of the artillery soldiers.

Du Jie and others wanted to listen to Liu Gen's guidance to the artillery soldiers. The truly powerful artillery can be seen from the guidance to the soldiers.

After coming around the artillery soldiers, Du Jie and others did not say anything directly. They listened carefully to Liu Gen's explanation to the artillery soldiers. At the beginning, Du Jie and others were in a mentality of causing trouble, but the content of Liu Gen's explanation made them not find any flaws, nor did they have any problems.

As time passed, Du Jie and others had no idea of ​​causing trouble. As artillery and artillery theory, they still had some understanding. Du Jie and others had some helpless discover that what Liu Gen explained was not only useful to the soldiers of the artillery team, but also to them.

At least after listening to Liu Gen's explanation, Du Jie and the others have gained a lot, which is undoubtedly their improvement.

When Chu Yunfei, who was staying in the exchange group, noticed the situation of Du Jie and other artillery officers, he couldn't help but be stunned. On the faces of Du Jie and others, he saw a look of gain. Turning his head to look at other officers who were still discussing the target of the artillery. Chu Yunfei suddenly lost the intention to continue the discussion. There was no need to continue this battle.

The changes of Du Jie and others are enough to illustrate the problem. Liu Gen, the "cannon god" in the Eighth Route Army, must have real materials. Otherwise, with the dog-tempered temperament of artillery officers like Du Jie and others, how could it be so quiet?

"Everyone, I'm afraid there is no need for us to continue the discussion. The result of the contest is already very obvious." Chu Yunfei reminded.

The other officers were a little confused, but when they looked in the direction that Chu Yunfei pointed, the officers understood what Chu Yunfei meant. From the state of Du Jie and others, these officers all understood that they were not fools, so they naturally knew what this meant.

Obviously, before Liu Gen could launch a shelling attack, Du Jie and others chose to admit defeat, otherwise how could they be so excited?

Before Chu Yunfei and others could speak up before they could say anything, Du Jie and others raised questions to ask Liu Gen. As artillery soldiers, they also encountered many problems, some of which had not been solved. Now that Liu Gen is here, Du Jie and others naturally want to seize this opportunity so that they can gain more.

Liu Gen did not treat Du Jie and others differently. After listening to the questions raised by Du Jie and others, he also answered them seriously. Liu Gen knew that he would definitely gain a lot of money when answering Du Jie and others' questions, but he believed that the soldiers of the artillery team would gain more.

Compared with the soldiers of the artillery team, Du Jie and others still have many advantages. At least they have very rich combat experience. There were not a hundred shells fired by them, but only dozens of them.

If possible, Liu Gen also hopes that Du Jie and others can teach some experience to the soldiers of the artillery team so that the soldiers of the artillery team can improve more.

Time passed by Liu Gen's constant explanations. When the kitchen team notified her to have dinner, Liu Gen stopped continuing to explain. During this period, Du Jie and others never talked about the competition with Liu Gen. After listening to Liu Gen's explanation in the afternoon, they all understood the gap between them and Liu Gen, so naturally they would not mention any competition.

After Liu Gen stopped explaining, Du Jie and others were still a little reluctant. Excellent artillery like Liu Gen is rare. Finally, they met someone, so how could they let Liu Gen leave easily? Du Jie and others, who originally thought that the Eighth Route Army had a difficult condition, had no idea at this time. No matter how difficult it was, they would continue to stay here for a while.
