Chapter 208 Training
At the end of the competition, a platoon leader named Sun Defa won the championship.
Sun Defa was a soldier from the first battalion, dark and thin like a bamboo pole. I don’t know where the strength came from. He could run fast with a rocket launcher and five rocket models and full-body equipment.
Although the rocket launchers and rocket models are made of wooden, in order to better allow the soldiers to get started, their length, weight, etc. are similar to the genuine rocket launchers.
Sun Defa carried that thing on his back and said that he had at least seventy or eighty kilograms.
After running three kilometers, he picked up the engineer shovel and dug fortifications without stopping. When others ran, he had already dug half of the fortifications.
Wang Xuexin looked at Sun Defa's body and felt a little confused about where this strength came from.
Sun Defa responded with a silly smile: "Reporting instructor, I am from Tai'an, Shandong, and I live at the foot of Mount Tai. I started working as a porter at the age of ten. People say that I was shortened by a carry-on and I am used to it. This is nothing more than that!"
At first, Wang Xuexin was a little worried that Sun Defa would not be able to perform the duties of the firepower team leader, but soon found that this worry was unnecessary. Sun Defa originally had the experience of commanding and could also shoot box guns...
Wang Xuexin requires all members of the anti-tank team to be able to fire box guns.
The first reason is that the anti-tank team either carries a bazooka or a rocket. These things have lengths and weights, so they are not suitable for carrying a spear.
Second, the members of the anti-tank team required to hide in small fortifications and wait for enemy tanks, which were inconvenient to hide in long spears.
Third, once the anti-tank team members catch the enemy, they will be close to each other. The long-range range of the spear is useless. They need equipment with fast firing speed, strong firepower and good range. Box cannons are undoubtedly the best choice.
Due to the shortage of eighth-Road ammunition, there are not many bullets for box cannons, and there is no bullet or time to feed the gunshots. Of course, we have to give priority to those who originally would have shot box cannons.
So the leader of the firepower team decided to do so.
Wang Xuexin’s work on training the actual exercises of the rocket launcher was handed over to Daniu for completion. Wang Xue only explained a few points:
The first and most important point is the safety of the tail flame behind the bazooka.
The tail flame of the rocket launcher is 15 meters away. If you are not careful, it is likely to burn friendly troops in the rear or even themselves.
It is easy to understand that it will burn a friendly army. In principle, no one can be found 15 meters behind when launching. In special circumstances, emergency situations can be avoided.
The burn is because there is a shield behind it. The flame will bounce back after spraying the shield at high speed.
The second point is the problem of fire.
The trigger of a rocket launcher is different from that of a rifle and a pistol. It is ignited by a battery. It does not have the pressure and buffering of the firearm. It is very sensitive to fire when touched. Once a rocket is installed, it is very easy to get out of fire.
The third point is that the shooting clearance requirements are high.
After the rocket is launched, the tail wing will be opened. If there are weeds and shrubs in front, it will hook the tail wing and greatly affect the accuracy, so try to avoid it.
When Wang Xuexin summarized these key points to Daniu, Daniu was stunned.
First, the second thing is that the big bull knows.
He also summarized the first point, and although he knew about the second point, he did not expect the problem of fire.
The third point is that the big bull has no idea at all and has never even thought about it... Who would have thought that such a big shoulder cannon would have to avoid weeds and shrubs?
Therefore, Daniu asked in confusion: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, you... haven't played the bazooka, right? How do you know this?"
Wang Xuexin glanced at Daniu with disdainful eyes and replied: "Comrade He Changliu! Think about who made this thing!"
The big bull said "Oh" and then he was speechless.
Wang Xuexin handed over the coordinated training of the large army to Li Yunlong... Li Yunlong was in charge of this matter, and the soldiers of the Independent Regiment were all like he was burning blood under his hands. If Wang Xuexin, the platoon leader, would be dissatisfied.
For example, those company commanders, battalion commanders... why do they listen to your platoon leader?
What Wang Xuexin needs to do is discuss tactics with Li Yunlong.
"We have to build fortifications as soon as possible and release smoke!" Wang Xuexin said: "Fortifications are single-army fortifications, one by one!"
Li Yunlong laughed as he heard this: "Little Northeast, you are not good at this! The Japanese have grenade launchers, and they can hit each shot and have a perfect match. What can this single fortification work do?"
The Japanese grenade launcher is indeed a trouble.
At the same time, compared with round pit-shaped single-army fortifications, trench fortifications are less likely to be hit, because under the curved weapon of grenade launcher, the target area of the round single-army fortifications is obviously larger.
But Wang Xuexin also thought about this.
He replied: "Captain, the single fortification we dug is not for guarding!"
"What is that used for?" Li Yunlong said: "Where are you digging for love?"
Wang Xuexin took out a piece of paper and explained while drawing a straight line on the paper: "If our army builds a trench fortification, and our army's anti-tank team builds a single armed fortification around..."
When Li Yunlong heard this, he said "Oh" and nodded, "That's the reason, you have to do a single-army fortification!"
The answer is obvious. If the combat troops build trench fortifications and the anti-tank group builds single-arm fortifications, then the single-arm fortifications of the anti-tank group will be too obvious, and it will be knocked off one by one by one by the Japanese with grenade launcher.
On the contrary, if the combat troops also build single-army fortifications, and then the combat troops retreat back, the battlefield will be filled with single-army fortifications of about the same size. The shooter can also use the cover of smoke to transfer according to the situation. The Japanese did not know which fortification was there, so they could not find the target.
Zhao Gang asked: "So, why don't we build trenches fortifications and then anti-tank shooters hide in the trenches?"
"Old Zhao!" Li Yunlong replied: "The Japanese tank can bypass the front!"
Zhao Gang said "Oh" and nodded to show his understanding.
Trench fortifications do have many advantages, such as convenience in movement, but its disadvantage is that it has a defensive front.
If the Japanese do not attack from the front and attack from the flank, then the trench fortifications will always be one point facing a bunch of enemies, and many anti-tank shooters hidden in it will not even reach the target.
This problem does not exist in a bunch of scattered single-army fortifications, either side of it is the front.
In fact, this is just one of the reasons. Wang Xuexin continued to explain: "The regiment commander, political commissar, and the rocket launcher have tail flame problems, which is actually more suitable for combating in circular single-army fortifications, so the trench is not very convenient!"
"What do you say?" Zhao Gang asked curiously.
"The bazooka shooter usually has two master and deputy archers!" Wang Xuexin explained while drawing a schematic diagram on the paper: "If it is a circular fortification, when the muzzle turns, the deputy archer can avoid the tail flame as long as he turns. But if he is in the trench, the muzzle turns toward the side and faces the tail of the cannon against the deputy archer, the deputy archer will have nowhere to hide!"
