Although he had won many battles with Zeng Quan, Wang Ping was sure from the expression on his face that he did not agree with his style of play from the bottom of his heart.
Also, after being a member of the Red Army for such a long time, Zeng Quan had a clear understanding of the various fighting styles and combat styles of the Red Army period, and suddenly he was asked to accept his own combat style, which was completely opposite to that of the Red Army period.
The style is definitely unrealistic and will cause conflict.
During the Red Army period, because all ammunition supplies came from captured ammunition, Red Army soldiers had very little ammunition.
Often before a battle begins, each person can only receive five bullets.
This means that after the battle begins, each Red Army soldier only has a chance to shoot three bullets. Once the three bullets have passed, he must attack the enemy with his rifle and fight hand-to-hand with the enemy!
As for the battle under his command, he had sufficient ammunition. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would never allow his subordinates to bayonet with the enemy, especially with the Japanese.
Because even if you win the fight, it will only hurt both sides and is not cost-effective.
If you don't fight with a bayonet, it means that you have to consume a lot of ammunition during the battle.
Taking the battle that just ended as an example, the guard company consumed more than 3,000 rounds of various bullets, more than a hundred grenades, and a dozen special grenades.
This much ammunition, if placed on other troops, would be enough to support a small-scale battle. But I only used it in a small-scale blocking battle.
Of course, Zeng Quan’s concerns and objections are not completely unreasonable.
If he had not obtained a lot of weapons and ammunition from the Japanese through sneak attacks before the blocking battle started, and used the original weapons and ammunition of the guard company, the weapons and ammunition reserved by the guard company might have been exhausted on the battlefield just after the blocking battle began, and then had to
Different little devils fight for bayonets and lives!
Sure enough, before he could speak, Zeng Quan already said with a heartbroken look on his face: "Company Commander, I think we should fight less battles like this in the future! If the commander knew that our guard company would fight such a small sniper battle.
After using so much ammunition, he will definitely curse us to death!"
"If nothing else, the ambush battle that the main force just fought did not necessarily use more ammunition than us!"
"Also, all our ammunition supplies come from captured weapons. According to your strategy, company commander, no matter how much ammunition we reserve, we can't withstand consumption. In the end, we are forced to fight with the Japanese with bayonets and lives!"
"
At this time, several squad leaders also gathered over.
From the expressions on their faces, Wang Ping was sure that some of them supported and agreed with this style of play, while others supported Zeng Quan and disapproved of his own style of play.
If the troops cannot have unified ideas, this is a fatal threat to an army.
Therefore, Wang Ping's brows suddenly furrowed, and then he fell into deep thought, thinking about how to unify the thoughts of the guard company and how to get them to accept his own fighting concepts and fighting style!
Soon, Wang Ping's frown relaxed.
Staring at the rifle carried by the soldier next to him, he asked everyone as calmly as possible: "Did you enjoy the blocking battle just now?"
The squad and platoon leaders around me were all former Red Army veterans, and no one knew the difficulties of the Red Army period better than they did.
It can be said that since they joined the Red Army, the Eighth Route Army has never been able to distribute so many bullets in a battle. Moreover, during the battle, bullets can be supplied in unlimited quantities.
Therefore, regardless of whether they support Wang Ping's firepower-oriented style of play, when he mentioned the blocking battle that just ended, their faces became fanatical, and they answered at the same time.
"Be excited, I have been fighting for such a long time, and I have never been so excited!"
Zhong Yusheng followed up and said: "Not only did we fight vigorously, we also captured a lot."
"The first time I encountered the Japanese, we killed them to pieces. We didn't have time to destroy or take away the weapons and ammunition they left on the battlefield,"
Wang Ping immediately asked Zeng Quan: "Old Zeng, if the blocking battle just now was fought according to the old rules, what do you think the result would be?"
"The losses of the troops must be greater than now! As for the capture, I am lucky to have the current 30%. However, the old rules are not without their benefits. According to the old rules, various ammunition can be saved at least half, no, 70%, or even
More to come!”
Wang Ping chased and asked: "How much ammunition can be left based on 70%? More than two thousand rounds of ammunition, but have you ever thought that although I used more than two thousand more rounds of ammunition in this battle, there are still more
More than 10,000 rounds of ammunition were seized, as well as a large number of weapons, including a crooked-neck heavy machine gun that is rarely equipped by the main force!"
More importantly, the casualties of the troops were much smaller, and dozens of comrades survived as a result. You know, after experiencing a battle of this scale, as long as the surviving soldiers, whether recruits or veterans, will make great progress. As long as
Let them practice more, and it won't take long for them to grow into squad leaders, or even platoon leaders, and become the backbone of our army!"
I saw that everyone was deep in thought because of his words, especially Zeng Quan, whose brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.
After a full minute, Zeng Quancai sighed and replied: "Company Commander, you are right. If there is enough ammunition, I will definitely support your style of play, but the key point is that our ammunition supply all comes from captured ammunition, and there is not enough ammunition supply."
, we simply cannot afford to fight such a battle. As long as we have weapons and bullets, no one is willing to fight the Japanese with bayonets!"
"This requires our commanders to calculate every battle carefully, ensure the supremacy of firepower, and fight every battle well to annihilate the enemy as much as possible. At the very least, we must defeat the enemy and prevent the enemy from taking away and destroying weapons.
Time!" Wang Ping said immediately.
"Only in this way can we seize the enemy's weapons to equip ourselves, and we can become stronger and stronger, with enough ammunition reserves to continue to fight the Japanese!"
The faces of Zeng Quan and several squad platoon leaders became more and more serious, and they were all thinking about the combat concepts Wang Ping had just instilled in them.
