Army University, President's Office.

After dinner, students from the special fifth session came to ask questions.

It must be admitted that the students in the Special Five Phase have really high enthusiasm for learning!

For example, the student who is now asking Zhong Yi for advice is named Wu Wenqiang. It is said that he has never been to school for a day, but after joining Yang Sen's army, he relied on his spare time to study the middle school courses.

Therefore, Wu Wenqiang understood what Zhong Yi said during the day.

So what Wu Wenqiang asked Zhong Yi for advice now is the advanced content of infra-cannon collaboration.

Wu Wenqiang said: "Principal Zhong, what I want to ask is, how many shells are needed to break through a platoon's frontal defense position? And what is the minimum requirement for artillery units?"

"Xiao Wu, your question is beyond the scope, because during the day I just talked to you about the general outline of the coordination of incisors and cannons, but I appreciate your active research spirit." Zhong Yi patted Wu Wenqiang's shoulder, pulled him to the map, and then started to make a demonstration on the map with a pencil.

"The defense width of a row is about one hundred meters."

"You just said how many shells are needed to break through a platoon's defensive position."

"This is actually the intensity of the saturated shelling, we can do some calculations."

"Practical combat proves that the first three to five minutes of the shelling cause the loss of personnel and morale of the enemy's morale is weakened, and the effect is the most obvious, so the effect of the shelling mainly depends on the first five minutes!"

"That is, in five minutes, it is necessary to pour ammunition of saturation into the enemy's defensive positions a hundred meters wide."

"Let's take the 122mm howitzer made by the United States as an example. The firing rate of 122mm howitzer is about five rounds per minute. It differs slightly depending on the level of artillery skills, but it is basically not much different."

"Five shells per minute, 25 rounds per minute."

"Practical combat proves that to implement saturated shelling on a 100-meter-wide platoon defense position, at least 1,200 shells are needed!"

"Now let's calculate that 1200 divided by 25 equals 48, which means at least 48 field howitzers with a caliber of 122mm are required to have the ability to pour 1200 shells into an enemy defensive position a hundred meters wide in five minutes, which is enough to cause devastating damage to the enemy's platoon positions."

"Of course, in actual combat, it depends on the strength of the enemy's fortifications."

"If the enemy builds permanent fortifications, the shelling effect will be greatly reduced."

Wu Wenqiang frowned and said, "Wouldn't that mean there is no clear standard?"

"Of course there is no standard." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "So I will only teach you theory, but whether the theory is useful in actual combat and whether the effect can be guaranteed can only be proved through practice!"

"Prove it through practice?" Wu Wenqiang frowned, "but we can't practice it."

"You don't have to worry about this." Zhong Yi said, "I will find a way to contact the local security forces to solve the practical problems of infantry and artillery coordination for you, but now is not the time."

"Thank you, Principal." Wu Wenqiang saluted the military salute and left with satisfaction.

After seeing off Wu Wenqiang, Zhong Yi looked at his watch and found that it was already past eight o'clock.

Two figures suddenly appeared outside the office, but they were Wen Yingxing and Wang Geng.

Wen Yingxing smiled and said, "Brother Ziren, it's already past eight o'clock, why haven't you gotten off work yet?"

"Don't you guys have not gotten off work yet?" Zhong Yi said with a smile, "Come in and sit down."

"We are different." Wen Yingxing followed Wang Geng in and said with a smile, "Who are we and who are you? Now, brother Ziren, you are a celebrity in Chongqing. I don't know how many high-ranking officials are waiting to see you. If I guess correctly, the concierge of Zhang Mansion should be filled with invitations, right?"

Wang Geng laughed at the sight, which was inevitable.

Although the entire country is in danger, Chongqing cannot feel the atmosphere of a national destruction.

Whether it is senior officials of the Party and the country or ordinary staff, they live a very comfortable life. They work as cars during the day, frequently go to dance parties at night, or make appointments with three or five friends to play mahjong all night. Even if the Japanese Air Force comes to bomb, at most they can hide in the air-raid shelter and continue playing mahjong. It is so ridiculous.

Zhong Yi sneered: "I don't care about these people."

"No, please pay attention to it." Wen Yingxing waved his hand and said, "Brother Zi Ren, I know you look down on these people, but these people can't help you, but they want to tear down your platform, but they can't tear them down one by one. What's the old saying that it's better to be a king of hell, but it's hard to deal with little ghosts, right?"

"Brother Hesun is saying." Wang Geng said deeply, "I still have to deal with it."

Zhong Yi had a scale in his heart, so he no longer talked about this topic to the two of them.

Zhong Yi asked Wen Yingxing: "Brother Hesun, ask you something, which is the Chongqing Security Commander?"

"Li Gengu, Chongqing Garrison Commander and Air Defense Commander." Wen Yingxing said, "Come with you or your neighbor."

"Oh, is that?" Zhong Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Commander Li actually lives in the main street of Li Ziba?"

"That's not." Wen Yingxing said, "Li Gengu's mansion is at No. 66, Liziba Zheng Street. I remember that the door sign of Zhang Mansion seems to be No. 64, right? It's next door to your house."

Speaking of this, Wen Yingxing said again: "By the way, you suddenly asked him what he was doing?"

Zhong Yi said: "Brother Hesun and Brother Shou Qing, you should also be very clear that no matter how solid the theoretical knowledge learned in the military academy is, it is just a theory. If you want to become an excellent commander, you have to practice! Only by practicing can you produce true knowledge!"

Wen Yingxing said: "So you want to follow Li Gengu's path and find a place for the trainees at Army University to practice?"

Zhong Yi nodded and continued, "To be more precise, it is the fifth session of the special class, I don't care about other classes."

Wen Yingxing said in surprise: "Brother Zi Ren, why do I think you particularly value the students of the fifth session of the special class?"

Zhong Yi smiled and did not explain too much to Wen Yingxing. He could not tell him that I would not stay for too long as the president of the Army University. At most, I would leave here for half a year. Moreover, my next position is probably the commander-in-chief of the Indian-Myanmar Expeditionary Force. Because of the tight time, I was so anxious to train the fifth class students of the special class.

To put it bluntly, such a little time is only enough for him to train the students of the fifth episode into a talent.

"Maybe I'm going to be with them." Zhong Yi laughed and said to the two of you, "Brother Hesun, Brother Shouqing, do you have any other arrangements tonight? If there is no arrangement, go and meet Li Gengu with me."
