Artillery preparation began.
Commander Ma Ke didn’t have the patience to wait any longer. He had waited all night for this moment.
He asked for instructions for the remaining days, then immediately returned to the command position.
There were actually many ways for artillery soldiers to prepare to fire. For example, the simple method, the precise method, the result method, the bomb test method... The uses of these methods varied.
In movies, it was often seen that a test firing was carried out. This was usually the fork method and the deviation method. This was used when the distance deviation between the explosion point and the target could not be determined.
It was more complicated to say. In fact, there was a shooting commander in front to observe and then make a correction of the firing elements according to the landing point of the shell.
This was to hit the target more accurately.
For this degree of accuracy, there would even be a second test shot, a second correction.
