When Xiao Dongbei was called away by the group leader, Wu Lei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
At this juncture, the group leader called Xiao Dongbei to go. Anyone who is not stupid would know why.
He, Wu Lei, knows that people don't do secret things and only does things and takes responsibility for others. Can Xiao Dongbei be allowed to take the blame?
So Wu Lei walked around outside the regiment headquarters. He wanted to go in several times but stopped when he thought of Li Yunlong's black face.
After a while, when Xiao Dongbei came out, Wu Lei hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How are you doing? Did the leader say anything to you?"
"I didn't say anything!" Wang Xuexin replied: "The leader said... let us connect!"
"Don't take it seriously. I owe you...what?" Wu Lei thought he heard wrong. He looked at Wang Xuexin in surprise: "What did you say? Say it again?"
"The leader said, let us join the company!" Wang Xuexin could only repeat: "Give the Seventh Company half an hour to prepare!"
Wu Lei opened his mouth wide and did not close it for a long time. After reacting, he immediately puffed up his chest and said happily: "Half an hour! Why does it need half an hour? You can get started right away!"
"Then I'll go talk to the regiment leader..." Wang Xuexin turned around and was about to return to the regiment headquarters, but was immediately stopped by Wu Lei.
"Don't, don't... I'm just talking, you kid took it seriously!" Wu Lei invited Wang Xuexin with a smile: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, you have made a great contribution this time! What I didn't say, you can choose the equipment!"
Wang Xuexin looked at Wu Lei as if he were a fool and asked: "Company commander, do you think I'm stupid?"
"How can you? You can't be called stupid even if you call me stupid?" Wu Lei answered without thinking.
Wang Xuexin said: "The equipment is either bullets or grenades, or cannons and artillery shells. What can I choose by myself? Which one should I choose, the artillery shells or a basket of grenades? Can I take it with me?"
"Yes!" Wu Lei waved his hand: "You can pick in a row as you wish. We will pick again after you finish picking your soldiers. It's done now!"
Only then did Wang Xuexin give up.
There is nothing that can be done about it. He, Wang Xuexin, should make some plans for his troops in this independent regiment that teaches the law of the jungle.
After thinking about it, Wang Xuexin asked: "Company Commander, I don't understand. We have obtained so much ammunition. If you want equipment, can't you just trade the ammunition with the regiment commander? Why do you still ask to go to the battlefield?
Woolen cloth?"
"You don't understand this!" Wu Lei shook his head and replied: "Do you really think that with equipment, you can get into the eyes of the regiment commander? The regiment leader really values soldiers, do you understand? Soldiers who can fight!"
When Wang Xuexin said this, he understood.
This is true. If a soldier cannot fight, no matter how good the equipment is, he will still die. Next time, he will be transferred and used as a backup unit. He may even be transferred with people and equipment... He is the leader of the regiment.
,Wu Lei still dares to say "no" at that time?
So Wu Lei did the right thing. If he wanted to change the identity of the seventh company as a backup force, he could only fight a few decent battles to show Li Yunlong, so that he would understand that the seventh company or even the third battalion could go to the battlefield and fight tough battles.
force.
It makes sense for Li Yunlong to give Seven Company half an hour to prepare.
The reason is that the Seventh Company needs time to learn how to use Japanese melon-type grenades.
In this regard, Li Yunlong considers this:
New recruits have the advantage of new recruits. Although they have been trained to drop grenades, they are not like veterans who just pull the string and throw the grenade in the direction of the enemy almost reflexively.
This bomb delivery method is no problem for the Eighth Route Army's wooden-handled grenade, but it is not suitable for the Japanese melon-type grenade. That thing has double safety. After the safety is pulled, it has to be knocked and thrown out before it explodes.
The usual way of handling grenades seized from the Japanese is that each company is concentrated in a platoon for use. This platoon is relatively smart and has undergone special training, and can freely switch between the use of two types of grenades.
But now, suddenly more than 3,000 grenades have been assembled and they have to be carried up in one go to fight fiercely. The veterans of the first and second battalions have not been able to adapt for a while, and this will cause big problems in the fight.
It just so happened that the Seventh Company was still idle at the back. Li Yunlong calculated that he still had some free time, so he asked the Seventh Company to practice at the back. Although it was just a temporary fix, it was better than taking it directly to the battlefield.
So I started intense training right away. At the beginning, I used stones.
"Pull the insurance, knock it, throw it..."
This seems to be a very simple step, but some people get confused, or forget to pull the insurance, or forget to knock it.
Chen Hao also complained: "Platoon leader, why is this Japanese grenade so troublesome? It has to be knocked after pulling the string?"
Huzi is a veteran and has experience in using melon grenades, so he continued: "What do you know? They are meant to be fired in a grenade. If you don't knock it, the grenade will not explode?"
What Hu Zi said is indeed correct.
Many self-media articles on the modern Internet also talk about this problem, and a lot of them seriously say that this is because the delay time of Japanese grenades is too short or for safety reasons.
In fact, the reason why the Japanese did this was to make the grenade also be used as a grenade.
If there is only one insurance, that is, like the Eighth Route Army wooden handle grenade, the delay will start as soon as the string is pulled... Then how to do it when shooting with a grenade?
Pull the safety off and stuff it into the grenade?
Is the delay time enough?
Can you aim with confidence?
Accidentally, the grenade and the Japanese were blown up together.
Therefore, if you want to use a grenade to launch, you must have two insurances:
The first safety is manually pulled out. After stuffing the grenade into the grenade barrel, you can aim for a long time without worrying about the grenade exploding... until the trigger cord is pulled to eject the grenade out of the muzzle, the inertia of the launch will automatically unlock the second safety.
, it will explode normally when it hits the enemy position.
In order to ensure the dual-use of grenades, it is more troublesome to use ordinary grenades.
Because there was not much time, Wang Xuexin did not explain it in detail to the soldiers. He just explained: "You can think of it this way: this Japanese grenade deserves a beating! If you don't give it a shot before throwing it out, it will not work.
That’s right!”
The soldiers laughed.
During the subsequent training, I really remember it clearly, but when the soldiers knocked on the grenade before throwing it away, they unconsciously shouted "I deserve a beating!".
Seeing that the time was almost up, Wu Lei shouted to the soldiers: "Everyone gather!"
The soldiers quickly packed up their things and lined up in front of Wu Lei.
Wu Lei straightened his back and shouted to the soldiers with a straight face: "Listen to me, whether our company, or even our battalion will be a combat force or a backup force in the future depends on this battle! If we don't blow up the Japanese
If shit comes out, no one will come back alive, do you understand?"
"I understand!" the soldiers responded loudly and confidently.
