Chapter 108: Chapter 109
"Papa~Papa~Papa"
The officers and soldiers of the 10th Division in the training ground are training for shooting. Accompanied by the chief officer of the 10th Division, Edel and Puleshan were watching the results of this shooting with a telescope.
"Good training." Chief of the General Staff Puleshan put down the telescope in his hand and said to Jacquesca next to him.
"Thank you for the compliment of the Chief of Staff. These soldiers are still some distance away from the elite and need to continue training." Jacques said modestly. But by looking at his expression, he was quite satisfied with the shooting performance of these soldiers. This also does not negate the Chief of Staff's strong support for their newly reorganized three divisions in military supplies.
And the elite in the mouth of Master Yakcha refers to the two guard divisions and the third division that were completed in the first batch of reorganization. These three divisions have been strong contenders for the first place in the previous exercises and trainings in Romania, and the other divisions have only been on the sidelines.
Hearing what Jaccha said, Puleshan smiled and said. "It seems that the Tenth Division has the idea of taking the first place."
Hearing the speech of the Chief of General Staff, the Deputy Commander of the Tenth Division, Felek, Chief of Staff Alqueza and others, all stood by and obeyed Puleshan's instructions. Edel also put down his binoculars and looked at him.
Puleshan saw that everyone was waiting for his speech, and continued. "I'm very satisfied with your words. Soldiers must have the confidence to compete, and they must not be complacent with their current achievements. You must believe that you can win. This is what I expect from you."
"It is very good, every teacher must have the confidence to compete with these three divisions." Edel concluded.
Hearing the speech of the crown prince, the senior officers of the 10th Division nodded in agreement under the leadership of Jacquescha.
"His Royal Highness, Chief of the General Staff, let's go to see the results of artillery training." Commander Jacques suggested that he saw the shooting training and almost saw it.
"You lead the way, go and see the results of your training for a year." The crown prince also wants to see their use of the God of War.
A group of people came to the front of a small hill called Khachali outside the tenth division resident. This is the training ground for the Artillery Regiment of the 10th Division. The Artillery Regiment Commander Letosk is waiting for the arrival of the Crown Prince.
He was the deputy artillery regiment commander of the Seventh Division, and he was also well-known in the artillery system of the army. Later, Commander Jacques thought that the artillery captain of the 10th Division was too old and his military theory and skills were not up to date, so he asked him to retire early. Preshan then transferred Letosk to the 10th Division as the artillery regiment commander, allowing him to lead the dragged Tenth Division's artillery regiment to strengthen exercise.
This Lieutenant Colonel Letosk also lived up to expectations, and made drastic reforms as soon as he came to the artillery regiment. He first found out in the regiment, and then assessed the officers of the regiment. All those who failed three consecutive times were assigned to the canteen, horses and other departments, and then assigned to the artillery companies according to their ability. After undergoing a series of rectifications, the artillery regiment's artillery technique now rises like a rocket. This made the commander Jacques very satisfied.
"Report to the crown prince and the chief of general staff. The artillery regiment of the 10th division is now ready to start the bombardment demonstration." The head of Letosk saw the arrival of the crown prince and his party and said loudly after walking to the previous military salute. To.
"We haven't seen each other for a year, Lieutenant Colonel Letosk." Pleshan said to the resolute artillery commander.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff."
Hearing what the Lieutenant Colonel Letosk said, Edel looked at Preshan with a little interest. The chief of staff knew what the crown prince meant and told him about the two of them.
In the Romanian army, Puleshan's signature is required for every transfer of an officer above the school level. That time it was Preshan's negligence and accidentally lost Letosk's transfer order. Letosk waited for a long time and couldn't wait for his transfer order, and the General Staff thought it had been issued. Later, he came to the General Staff Headquarters to find a staff officer who was responsible for dispatching orders, and that staff member was also surprised. In the end, it was found that it was the chief of the general staff, and Prieshan met Letosk, who was unlucky because of his mistake. Later in the conversation between the two, the Lieutenant Colonel Letosk gave Preshan a good image. That's why they had their previous dialogue.
After listening to Preshan's small mistakes, Edel had nothing to say about the good luck of Lieutenant Colonel Letosk, but it was also because he had real talents and learning, and changing one might not have a good effect.
"Lieutenant Colonel Letosk, I hope you can show us the strength of the 10th Division Artillery Corps." Edel encouraged the artillery regiment commander.
"Good lord."
After answering the crown prince, Lieutenant Colonel Letosk looked at Commander Jaccha with questioning eyes. Jaccha, who was consulted by his artillery regiment, slightly nodded and agreed to start.
The regimental commander gave orders to his subordinates to start artillery drills. Following the regimental commander's order, a team of artillery pushed six Krupp 75mm mountain cannons to the well-built gun positions.
This is a Romanian imitation, but with the German teaching hand-in-hand, this Romanian artillery is no different from Germany. Both are 17 times the caliber barrel length, high and low firing range: -7 degrees ~ +38.5/30 degrees, horizontal firing range: 5 degrees, projectile weight: 5.3kg, muzzle velocity: 300m/s, weight: 529kg, maximum range: 5750 meters.
"Two test shots"
With the command of the artillery company commander, the prepared artillery began to test fire at the exercise target 5 kilometers away.
"Boom~Boom~Boom"
The ground 20 meters from the target was hit by a shell. The crown prince and chief of staff at the observation platform were very satisfied with the results of the test. The artillery then fine-tuned the mountain cannons in the firing range, and a few shots solved the target five kilometers away.
"It's a good fight, I hope I can make persistent efforts."
Edel praised the artillery for the performance of the artillery.
After the 75mm mountain artillery battery bombardment exercise was completed, the Krupp 75mm wild cannon, which was pulled by a horse, also entered the field. These artillery pieces are the masterpieces of the Romanian arsenal. Except for the two imprisoned divisions, the other Romanian troops use the products of their own arsenal, and they are all pretty good in terms of military reputation.
The current bolt type of these 75MM field guns: horizontal wedge type, retraction type: liquid spring type, 27 times the caliber barrel length, high and low firing range: -12 degrees to +18.5 degrees, horizontal firing range: 7 degrees, Projectile weight: 6.5kg, muzzle velocity: 510m/s, weight: 1016kg, maximum range: 7600m.
This time the target was set at a distance of 7 kilometers. As the soldiers were ready, Edel and the others raised their binoculars to observe the results of the shelling.
"Two test shots."
Following the order of the wild artillery company commander, the prepared soldiers fired the wild artillery shells with the adjusted angle of view. The results of this test firing were also very good. The shells exploded about 20 meters away from the target, and the target was destroyed in a few shots after the re-adjustment.
"Very good, now let's take a look at the effect of your 105mm howitzer."
Edel can't wait to see now, the Romanian division's most powerful firepower performance.
This time the 10th Division did not pull the artillery into the field. The main reason was that the 105mm howitzer was too heavy and had been placed in advance. The data of this batch of 105mm light field howitzers are caliber: 104.9mm, barrel length: 22 times caliber, high and low firing range: -10 degrees to +40 degrees, horizontal firing range: 4 degrees, projectile weight: 15.7 kg, and muzzle velocity: 400m/s, weight: 1380kg, maximum range: 8400.
As the 105 howitzer was ready, Edel and the others saw the target of this bombardment across the hill. It seems that the 10th Division was preparing for an indirect aiming bombardment.
Indirect aiming artillery is that the geodetic unit or position reconnaissance team marks the reference shooting direction of the reference gun with the aiming point, and then each artillery calibrates its shooting direction according to the reference gun. The aiming point can be a pole, a calibrator and so on. It is still a relatively advanced artillery tactic. Before Edel had only seen them used in the third division and two guard divisions. Now the other divisions are still training hard. Of course the tenth division came to him. Surprised.
As the 105 howitzer was ready, Edel saw an observer on the hill waving flags to the 105 gun group below. It was still two test shots, but the effect of this test shot was not so good. The shell hit the target at a distance of 40 meters, and then adjusted the shooting angle twice to complete the destruction of the target.
"Good. This indirect shelling opened my eyes. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Edel praised Lieutenant Colonel Letosk who came to report. In fact, he had seen indirect shelling in the third division and the two guard divisions, and the effect was much better than that of the tenth division. In order not to put pressure on this hard-working artillery captain, Edel could not help but praise a few words.
"Thank your Highness for the compliment, we will continue to work hard."
Lieutenant Colonel Letosk, who was praised by the crown prince, knew that this indirect shelling was actually much worse than the current three elite divisions.
Then the crown prince watched infantry tactical exercises, rescue of wounded in the field and other projects. In these projects, the 10th Division achieved good results. This makes Edel and Preeshan very happy, and both believe that this year's training funding has not been in vain.
On the way back, Edel asked, is Puleshan's speech in the tenth division infantry shooting training true?
The chief of staff said to the crown prince with a smile. "His Royal Highness, in the army, they must compete with each other to ensure the fighting spirit of the army. However, the Romanian army can't do all the elites, so they can only set a benchmark for them to chase after."
After listening to Puleshan's words, Edel knew what he meant.
This can be seen from the distribution of military officers who graduated and returned from studying abroad every year. The probability of returning from studying abroad to the above three divisions is most likely to be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
Afterwards, Edel inspected the conditions of other divisions and found that it was much better than before. Especially the Seventeenth Division and the Fourteenth Division, which were at the bottom like the Tenth Division last year, have also changed a lot this year. This makes Edel feel that Romania has enough confidence in the Balkan interests in the coming year.
