Take a Look at the Position
Chapter 495:Take a Look at the Position
In the film and television, Feng Xiaochen heard this kind of shelling countless times, but in reality, this is the first time.Rao was able to do the collapse of the Taishan in front of him when he was dealing with other things, and this moment was also frightening.This is not a movie to play, this place is a war zone, is a real gun.
Just now on the way to the jeep, he had seen with his own eyes a large bomb crater, and the soil above was still fresh, obviously blown up not long ago.The bomb crater was so big that it could fill a jeep in.It is conceivable that if a shell landed directly on the jeep, what would happen if he had to take it across it again?
The others in the car also heard the sound of shells, and the driver was said to have been sent from the front line, and his face was relatively calm.Mundi's performance, and Feng Xiaochen is almost less, although there is no voice out, but subconsciously made a neck-shrinking action, do not know how effective this action can be when the shell hit.
Zhang Heping was a soldier, heard the sound, he turned his head to the direction of the cannonballs, his brows frowned, and did not shout.But Feng Fei's performance was quite surprising, not only did he not look a little afraid, but also like hearing some fairy music, his face showed a look of joy, said:
"This should be the FH70, 155 mm howitzer jointly manufactured by Britain, Germany and Italy, ... well, what are you afraid of, the point of the cannonball is far away from us!"
By the time he had finished, the shell had also landed, and as he said, the landing point was still almost two miles away from the road, and the sound of a loud explosion sounded very scary, but the jeep did not bear the shock wave of a single explosion.
“No, uncle, can you hear the sound?”Feng Xiaochen choking his chest, looked at Feng Fei, and asked in amens.
Feng Fei said, “Shit, what am I doing?I can't tell the difference how many miles away, and it's not a dry meal?"
"It seems that the art is specialized."Feng Xiaochen nodded and said.Without waiting for him to say something more, the sound of the cannonballs coming in the distance.However, this time he could also hear that the shells did not come in this direction, and the place of the explosion was a distance or two.
At this time, the driver turned his head and muttered a few words to Mundy, who spoke the local language of Dieh, and no one understood it.Mundy helped translate the words into English and said to the crowd, “Gentlemen, the driver said that it appeared that the rebels were shelling again and that it was not safe to continue driving on the road. He suggested that we go ahead and avoid it.”
“Is there a place to hide in front of you?”Peace asked.
“Yes, in front of us is a howitzer position of our own, with sheltered cannons in the position.The driver said that the rebels would shell this side irregularly, and each time it was about an hour or so, I think it would be better for us to avoid it.”
Mandy said.He was a civil servant in the government, and if he did not accompany Feng Xiaochen, he would not have ventured into the battlefield.The two cannonballs had already frightened his soul.
“Let’s avoid it for a while.”Zhang Heping took charge for everyone, and when he was not a hero at this time, he had to take responsibility for the safety of Feng Xiaochen and Feng Fei.
Feng Fei was very happy, he said: "Is it the position of the howitzers of the government army?"Just so, I can see what your howitzer is."
Mundi heard several Chinese people agreed to go to the bomb, very happy, he said something to the driver, the driver drove a car on a small road.During this period, the people heard the sound of artillery gradually thickened, and in addition to the shells coming from the direction of the rebels, they could hear the howling of shells flying from this side to the rebel side, and then the dreary explosion from the distance.The direction of the driver's drive is exactly the direction in which the shells fly out.
The jeep bypassed a grove, and the smoke from the artillery fire could be seen in front.Nearer, the howitzer position has entered the eyes of the crowd, Feng Fei almost got up from the back of the jeep, eyes staring straight at the position, you can see, this is his favorite thing.
The driver drove the jeep to a hidden place behind the position, which was a few semi-underground fortifications, covered with thick wood and sandbags, and it was estimated that it was very safe to hide inside as long as it was not hit directly by artillery shells.As soon as the car stopped, the driver pointed to the hidden places and said some local language.Mundi jumped from the car, pressed the psychology of fear, and said to Feng Xiaochen and others: "Later, let's hurry to the shelter to rest, the driver said, the other side of the shelling will not last long, until their shelling is over, we will go again."
He said, without waiting for everyone to answer, he was ready to run into the fort.Who ever thought, Feng Fei grabbed his arm and said: "Mr. Mundy, don't worry, I have a request, I don't know if it's appropriate..."
“Mr. Feng, what can we say about the shelter?”Mundy said with a weeping face that he had heard clearly that there were shells coming in the air, and he could hear where it would fall.
Feng Fei was not at all alarmed, he would have heard that the shelling on the rebel side was also disorganized, and the frequency was not high, it is estimated that the release of cold guns to the government army to add some trouble.Such a shotgun, in fact, is not much threat, unless the luck is particularly bad, otherwise even if the eyes are closed, will not be bruised a hair.
“Mr. Mundy, the cannonballs are far away from us.What I want to say is, can you get along with the officers in the position, I want to visit their positions, what do you think?"Feng Fei said.He is a man who studies artillery, and when he encounters this actual artillery battle, there is a reason not to observe it on the spot.The problems that may occur in actual combat equipment are very different from ordinary experiments.In recent years, the southern line is engaged in two mountain round battles, and Dongxiang Factory has also specially sent technicians to the battlefield to collect information.Now there is a case on the battlefield in Africa, Feng Fei of course to take a look.
“This... isn’t that appropriate?”Mandy's Way.
“I just went to see, it wouldn’t affect them fighting...” Feng Fei said.This kind of things that he was not good at, and he thought of himself as an outsider, to see the position of others, there must be many taboos, he did not know how to persuade Mundy to do it.
Zhang Heping saw some problems, he stepped forward, smiled and said: "Mr. Mundy, Mr. Feng just want to see the position, if you can, please Mr. driver to take us over, do not need Mr. Mundi to accompany."If you can't go directly to the position, then you have to ask Mr. Mundy to take us to find a place where we can see the position."
“Let’s talk to the driver.”Mundy made a compromise.It had been seen that he was afraid of death, and that he was speaking very plainly, if Mundy could help them to integrate, they would go to their own positions, and Mundy would hide in the fortifications.If Mundi does not help, then sorry, everyone will stay outside together, the place is fresh air, the scenery is pleasant, everyone talk together, listen to the sound of guns, or very happy.
The driver is a small soldier in a combat force, and does not know anything about diplomacy or military secrets.Listening to Mundi say that these Chinese guests wanted to go to the position to see, he nodded and agreed, and then went to the other side of the position in silence.In fact, he has nothing to say, because the Chinese do not understand what he says, and what the Chinese say, he does not understand.
Feng Fei turned to Feng Xiaochen and Zhang Heping and said, "Chief Zhang, Xiao Chen, you two go to the fortification to rest, I and the driver to look in front."
He trotted two steps to catch up with the driver and went in the direction of the position.Feng Xiaochen and Zhang Heping looked at each other, then smiled together, and also followed Feng Fei to the position.From Feng Xiaochen's side, he was not afraid of being false, but since Feng Fei was going to the position, how could he, as a nephew, hide in the fortifications alone?In addition, he knew that Feng Fei was not very good at communication, and in case of any taboos committed by others, or clashed with the commander of the front line, he also had to help mediate.
The shelter was not far from the artillery position, and everyone had walked for a few minutes and had already come to the front.This is a howitzer battalion position, about a dozen guns, arranged according to the requirements of the operation.There are seven or eight people next to each gun are busy, but the frequency of firing is not high, in Feng Xiaochen's view, that is, a long time to put a gun, a little and the other side of a song a taste.
When Feng Xiaochen and Zhang Heping came, they saw that the driver who brought them was talking to an officer about what, Feng Fei stood behind the driver, some of whom was incredulatory, but his eyes had been looking to the left and looking to the right, looking at the soldiers who were firing at the position.The officer listened to what the driver said, stepped forward, looked at Feng Fei, and said a series of words.Feng Fei and Feng Xiaochen and Zhang Heping were blind, and the other party spoke French, and none of them knew French.
The country of Dier used to be a colony of France, and the official languages were national and French, as they had long known.When Hess and Mundy communicated with them, they used half-understood English, but the officer spoke only French.
“Please, do you know English?”Feng Feine asked.
The officer shook his head, he could understand the word English, and knew what Feng Fei wanted to ask, but he did not understand English.
"I'll go back and get Mundy."Feng Xiaochen whispered to Zhang Heping.
“I’m afraid he won’t come?”Zhang Hei hesitated, he had just promised Mundi not to let him come to the position, and now he could not be fat.
At this time, Feng Fei glanced at the Soviet artillery in the position, and he took the opportunity to blurt out and asked, “So, do you understand Russian?”
He said this in a more astringent Russian language.
