At the end of the martial arts competition, a platoon leader named Sun Defa won the championship.
Sun Defa was a soldier of the first battalion. He was as dark and lean as a bamboo pole. He didn't know where his strength came from. He could run very fast even with a rocket launcher and a five-shot rocket model model on his back and all the equipment.
Although those rocket launchers and rocket launcher models are made of wood, in order to better allow soldiers to use them, the length, weight, etc. are similar to the original rocket launchers.
The thing Sun Defa was carrying on his back weighed at least seven to eighty kilograms.
After running three kilometers, he started digging the fortifications without stopping. By the time others arrived, he had dug half of the fortifications.
Wang Xuexin looked at Sun Defa's body and bones, and he didn't understand where this strength came from.
Sun Defa responded with a silly smile: "I'm reporting to the instructor, I'm from Tai'an, Shandong Province. I live at the foot of Mount Tai. I started doing mountain lifting at the age of ten. People say that I am weighed down by the lifting. I'm used to it. This weight is nothing."
!”
At first, Wang Xuexin was a little worried that Sun Defa would not be able to fulfill his duties as fire team leader, but he soon discovered that this worry was unnecessary. Sun Defa was originally a platoon leader with command experience, and he could also shoot box artillery...
Wang Xuexin requires all anti-tank team members to be able to shoot box guns.
The first reason is that the anti-tank team must carry either a rocket launcher or a rocket grenade. These items are both long and heavy, so they are not suitable for carrying long guns.
Second, the members of the anti-tank team were required to hide in small fortifications and wait for enemy tanks. It was inconvenient to hide long guns.
Third, once the members of the anti-tank team come into contact with the enemy, they will get close to the enemy. The long range of the long gun is useless. They need an equipment with a fast rate of fire, strong firepower and good range. The box gun is undoubtedly the best choice.
Due to the shortage of eight-way ammunition, there are not many bullets for box guns. If there are no bullets, there is no time to practice marksmanship. Therefore, of course, priority must be given to those who are good at shooting box guns.
So the leader of the fire team was decided.
Wang Xuexin left most of the practical training of rocket launchers to Daniel, but Wang Xue only explained a few points:
The first and most important point is the safety of the tail flame behind the rocket launcher.
The tail flame of the rocket launcher reaches 15 meters away. If you are not careful, you may burn friendly troops behind you or even yourself.
It is easy to understand that it will burn friendly troops. In principle, no one should be 15 meters behind when launching. In special circumstances and emergencies, you can avoid it.
The reason for burning yourself is because there is an obstruction behind you, and the flame will bounce back after hitting the obstruction at high speed.
The second point is the problem of fire.
The trigger of a rocket launcher is different from the trigger of a rifle or pistol. It is ignited by a battery and does not have the pressure and buffer of a firearm to ignite. It is very sensitive to launch when touched. Once the rocket is loaded, it can easily misfire.
The third point is that the shooting clearance requirement is relatively high.
The tail fin will open after the rocket is launched. If there are weeds and shrubs in front, it will hook the tail fin and greatly affect the accuracy, so it should be avoided as much as possible.
When Wang Xuexin summarized these key points to Daniel, Daniel was stunned for a while.
First and second, the big guys know this.
He also summarized the first point, and although he knew about the second point, he did not think about the fire problem.
The third point is completely unknown to Daniel, and he has never even thought about it... Who would have thought that such a large shoulder-mounted gun would have to avoid weeds and shrubs?
Therefore, Daniel asked in confusion: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, you...have never fired a rocket launcher? How do you know this?"
Wang Xuexin glanced at Daniel with disdain and replied: "Comrade He Changliu! Think about who made this thing!"
Daniel said "Oh" and then stopped talking.
Wang Xuexin left the coordinated training of large units to Li Yunlong... Li Yunlong was good at this, and every soldier in the independent regiment was like a chicken under his command. If Wang Xuexin was the platoon leader, there would still be people who were unconvinced.
For example, those company commanders, battalion commanders... why should they listen to your platoon commander?
All Wang Xuexin had to do was discuss tactics with Li Yunlong.
"We have to build fortifications as soon as possible and release smoke at the same time!" Wang Xuexin said: "The fortifications are individual soldier fortifications, one by one!"
Li Yunlong laughed when he heard this: "Xiao Dongbei, you are not good at this! The Japanese have grenade launchers, and they can hit them accurately. What use can this single fortification be?"
The Japs grenade is indeed a nuisance.
At the same time, compared with the circular pit-shaped individual soldier fortifications, the trench fortifications are less likely to be hit. The reason is that the target area of the round individual soldier fortifications is obviously larger under the direct fire weapon of the grenade.
But Wang Xuexin also thought about this.
He replied: "Commander, this single-soldier fortification we dug is not for guarding!"
"What is that used for?" Li Yunlong said, "Are you digging for feelings?"
Wang Xuexin took out a piece of paper and explained while drawing a straight line on the paper: "Suppose our army builds a trench fortification, and at the same time our anti-tank team builds individual fortifications around it..."
Li Yunlong said "Oh" when he heard this, nodded and said: "That's the reason, we need to improve the individual military fortifications!"
The answer is obvious. If the combat troops build trench fortifications and the anti-tank group builds individual fortifications, then the anti-tank group's individual fortifications will be too obvious, and they will be knocked down one by one by the Japanese with grenades.
On the contrary, if the combat troops also build individual fortifications and then withdraw, the battlefield will be full of individual fortifications of similar sizes. The shooters can also use the cover of smoke to move around, and the Japanese will not know which fortifications have people in them.
, and the target cannot be found.
Zhao Gang asked: "Then, why don't we build trench fortifications and then anti-tank shooters hide in the trenches?"
"Old Zhao!" Li Yunlong replied: "Japanese tanks can bypass the front!"
Zhao Gang said "Oh" and nodded to express his understanding.
Trench fortification does have many advantages, such as facilitating movement, but its disadvantage is that it has a defensive front.
If the Japanese do not attack from the front and attack diagonally from the flanks, then the trench fortifications will always face a group of enemies at one point, and many anti-tank shooters hidden in them will not even be able to reach their targets.
A bunch of scattered individual fortifications don't have this problem. Every side of it is frontal.
In fact, this is only one of the reasons. Wang Xuexin went on to explain: "Regiment commanders, political commissars, and rocket launchers have tail flame problems, so they are actually more suitable for fighting in circular individual fortifications, and trenches are not very convenient!"
"How do you say it?" Zhao Gang asked curiously.
"Bazooka shooters generally have two shooters, the first and second shooter!" Wang Xuexin explained while drawing a schematic diagram on the paper: "If it is a circular fortification, when the muzzle turns, the second shooter can avoid the tail flame as long as it follows the turn. But if it is in a trench,
Here, the muzzle of the gun was turned sideways and the rear of the gun was facing the assistant shooter, and the assistant shooter had no way to hide even if he wanted to!"
