    Hu San asked strangely: "Tuanzuo, besides you, who else in our group can operate a mortar? Don't mention Liu Fudong and Wei Xing. Those two guys have been bombed by mortars at most."  Ass, you will never fly a mortar."

    Xia Yang said: "Commander He! Have you forgotten that he graduated from the Huangpu Artillery Department? He will definitely use these things. I think that when the time comes, I will get these mortars into their battalion and form a mortar."  Artillery Squad. This way, if we encounter the little Japs again, we can give them a taste of what itĄŻs like to have their butts blown up by artillery shells.Ą±

    Hu San said with some surprise: "Why does Lao still have this skill? I've never seen him talk about it before!"

    As the group of them said this, the team had already entered the Mancheng camp.

    The arrival of these four mortars made the recruits in the fourth regiment panic.  Even some veterans rarely see these things.

    The original 29th Army, and now the 59th Army, are all units in the national army that grandma does not know and uncles do not love.  The elite of the national army, although the combat troops at the regiment level are equipped with mortars, within the 59th Army, these items are rare.

    When He Changxing saw that Xia Yang had actually brought over four mortars, he was gearing up and wanted to try his hand at it.

    Xia Yang saw what He Changxing was thinking, and said generously: "Captain He, I heard that you graduated from the artillery department of Huangpu Military Academy. Can you play with the mortars seized from this little devil?"

    When He Changxing heard this, he immediately puffed up his chest and said: "Don't worry, regiment. Whether it's the big or small cannons equipped by the little devils or the cannons equipped by our national army, as long as it is a cannon, I can operate it. If you don't believe it, I will operate it now."  IĄŻll give you a test shot and hit wherever you point within 1,500 meters.Ą±

    He graduated from the Artillery Department of Huangpu Military Academy with excellent results.  For the control of various artillery, it can be said that he has reached the level of proficiency.

    As soon as Xia Yang heard that He Changxing wanted to show off, and he happened to have the idea of ??taking a test on He Changxing, he pointed at a target at the end of the shooting range and said: "Battle Commander He, we don't have many artillery shells, but since all the brothers want it,  Look at the power of this thing, then let the brothers have a good experience, you can hit that target now, and I will see if you can hit it."

    That target was the farthest one, more than three hundred meters away from them.  To hit that target requires a lot of skill.

    When He Changxing heard that Xia Yang had agreed, he patted his chest and said, "Commander, just take a look!" As he said that, he opened the tripod of a mortar.  Then extend your thumb and start measuring the exact distance to that target.

    After some measurements, he began to adjust the mortar's upward firing angle.  This mortar is no better than a flat-firing cannon. It can fire directly if the muzzle is aimed at it.

    The shell fired from the mortar is a parabola.  What He Changxing needs to calculate is the landing point of this parabola.  That is the final landing point of the cannonball.

    In less than a minute, He Changxing opened a shell box and carefully took out a mortar shell from it.  The mortar shell is not big in size, but its round warhead shows that it contains a lot of explosives.

    The surrounding soldiers all stared with wide eyes as they watched He Changxing take out the shell and then hang it above the mortar barrel.

    He Changxing turned to look at Hu San, Xia Yang and the others and said, "Tuan Zuo, I'm going to let you go!"

    Liu Fudong had long been impatient with waiting, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing! What a grinder! Ma Liu'er, let's go, Ma Liu'er, if you hit, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

    He Changxing swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling very excited.  It had been a long time since he last touched a mortar, so he was naturally a little nervous and excited.

    "I really let go!" He Changxing swallowed again and said.

    Xia Yang couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Let it go if you are told! Hurry! We have to have lunch after we let it go!"

    He Changxing took a deep breath, then stuffed the tail of the shell into the mortar barrel. As soon as he loosened his fingers, he directly covered his ears.

    There was only a muffled "bang" sound, accompanied by a burst of white smoke and the sharp whistling sound of the cannonball as it cut through the air. The cannonball accurately landed near the target and exploded with a bang.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of sight, you can even see a two-meter-square crater blown out at the target.  This power is not comparable to grenades.

    WhatĄŻs more, itĄŻs at least two to three hundred meters away from the mortar.  The maximum range of these mortars is more than that, and can reach as far as more than 1,500 meters.

    No matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to reach this distance by throwing a grenade with his hands.

    The soldiers also exclaimed, they were seriously blown up by this thing.  Now that I have this thing in my hand, I am naturally happy.

    Xia Yang has seen the world, and in his opinion, the power of this mortar is not worth mentioning at all.  After all, in the army of the 21st century, a single volley of multiple rocket launchers can level an entire city to the ground.  That can be called fierce firepower.

    ItĄŻs just that the current conditions are limited. ItĄŻs already good for their four regiments to have these mortars.  Other Xia Yang didn't dare to expect too much.

    But the top priority is still the issue of mortar shells. If enough shells cannot be obtained, the power that these mortars can exert will be greatly reduced.

    ItĄŻs like having a divine bow in your hand, but without the right bow and arrows.  The power of this divine bow is even worse than a kitchen knife used for cooking.

    Xia Yang then asked He Changxing to select people from the fourth regiment who could use mortars.  Form an artillery platoon.

    He Changxing was originally from the artillery department, but now he has returned to his old profession, so he is naturally happy.  However, there were not many people who could use mortars, and He Changxing had to put together a temporary artillery platoon with great effort.

    But this artillery platoon has artillerymen and cannons, but no artillery shells.

    Xia Yang also knew that artillery shells were an urgent problem that needed to be solved. He thought about whether he could buy some artillery shells from the Huangsha Baizhan system at night.

    If that doesnĄŻt work, let Hu San go to the black market and ask around to see if he can get matching shells.

    After dealing with this, Cai Heyuan ran over from outside.  He whispered a few words into Xia Yang's ear, and Xia Yang's expression changed and he asked Cai Heyuan: "Why did he come to Mancheng?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
