Chapter 253: Selecting Minnie Spearmen
There is still a month left for the Chinese New Year, and Chen Zi is determined not to toss for the time being, shrinking all the volunteers to return to Zhangjiacheng. Without the uproar of the volunteers, eastern Guangdong Province returned to a relatively stable state.
Shrink the Volunteers back, because Chen Zijian began to equip the Mini Gun with the Volunteers, and it is not okay for everyone to change their clothes at the same time, but there is no problem with half of the Volunteers changing their clothes.
Because of Chen Zijian's attitude towards the landlords, the attitude of the landlords and the merchant class in the entire eastern Guangdong Province towards the volunteers was antagonistic.
A certain landlord asked people to spread the word that the volunteers were eating people, or other bad things, and put all the hats on the heads of the volunteers.
These news came, there are good and bad for the volunteers, the bad side is that the demons of the volunteers are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, other people will definitely not take the initiative to cooperate with the volunteers, and it is impossible for the people who take the initiative to come, who dares to come over if the reputation is bad, are they not afraid that they will be eaten by the rebels of the volunteers.
Chen Zijian doesn't care about this aspect, because the population growth of Zhangjiacheng does not depend on the people themselves. Chen Zijian didn't care about the thoughts of the people outside the territory, and when the volunteer army arrived, they were all arrested and resisted! Die.
No matter what reason the people came to Zhangjiacheng, Chen Zijian can be sure that the average living standard of the people here is much higher than that of other places, and with this, most people can put aside their prejudices against the volunteers and do things well.
On the bright side, the Volunteers are so fierce that the people of the government can easily defeat them and then capture them when they fight.
The ups and downs outside can't affect the territory of the volunteers, and the six legions at this time are training new subjects and shooting targets.
Although the Mini gun is not equipped by every volunteer, there is no problem in equipping one-third of a legion, and the other one, a division of the current volunteer army is fully staffed, with 3,750 people in one division, according to the merit ranking of some time ago. Each division was assigned a different number of mini guns.
Some people are born marksmen, give him a Minny gun, which can shoot a target one or two hundred meters away with the naked eye, and some people can't shoot with their eyes, that is, let him shoot the enemy at 50 meters, they may all fail, the accuracy of the Minnie gun is relatively accurate, not to mention the point of 100 shots, the accuracy has a relatively stable trajectory, and the natural marksman can rely on his sense to hit distant targets.
This is the purpose of the selection, in the case that the Mini guns cannot be fully equipped, select the most suitable volunteers to come out, let them use the Minny gun, and the rest are not suitable for the use of the Minny gun, temporarily use the Mitsubishi gun to protect the safety of the gunners.
"Dangdang!"
When the bell rang for a new day, Zhang An got up with his comrades according to his daily habits, and then it was the usual practice, in the barracks, he practiced running, stabbing and other subjects in the morning, and it was the same in the afternoon, but these days have changed.
Zhang An heard that the army is going to add a new type of troops, Mini spearmen, Zhang An has seen the Mini gun used by the platoon commander, the platoon commander's baby is not good, usually wipe the barrel when he is free, the platoon commander's shooting level, Zhang An thinks it is very remarkable, he has seen the platoon commander's practice, more than 20 zhang distance fruit, the platoon commander can hit the fruit within five shots, such a level belongs to the top level in the volunteers.
Zhang An was still an ordinary volunteer before, and he only had envy for the Mini gun, attacking the bandits' den, and the captain of the platoon commander level could shoot the bandits from a distance with the Mini gun, and these small soldiers could only guard with Mitsubishi guns, and the grievances made him depressed. Why depressed? It's not simple.
The merit of killing the bandits was only from the platoon commander who was equipped with a Mini gun, and there was a noticeable change in the way the volunteers attacked the enemy, using long-range weapons to hit the enemy, if the enemy could not shrink out, then bombarded with artillery, and if the enemy dared to come out and charge, there would be a platoon commander who would use a Mini gun to hit the target.
This way of fighting, so that these soldiers with Mitsubishi guns can't grab a credit, for the small soldiers to fight safely, but there is no credit! Before the enemy could get closer, the morale of Minnie's guns was exhausted, and the remaining prisoners had little credit.
Now I finally waited for the good news, the volunteers were going to select a group of Minnie spearmen, Zhang Anxin moved, who doesn't like this kind of naked robbery, the key is that the danger is small.
The Volunteers' trust in the Minnie Gun is very high, and they can't wait to have one for themselves, because the Mini Gun has been tested by several months of war, and there has been no explosion of the chamber, and the power is huge, which makes the Volunteers pursue the Minnie Gun.
After Zhang An warmed up for a while, he left the training ground, in these seven days, the volunteers will select a certain number of mini spearmen, and the training intensity will be appropriately reduced, so that the volunteers can participate in the selection of mini guns in the past, at present, the volunteers focus on mini guns and artillery, the importance of Mitsubishi spears has declined sharply, and the original main offensive force has become auxiliary soldiers, small soldiers who protect the safety of Minnie guns.
So now the Minnie spearmen want to recruit people, and all the volunteers who want to be promoted and make a fortune want to participate, and if they want to become Minnie spearmen, it is not so easy, and two conditions are needed.
The first eyesight should be good, the volunteers with myopia and farsightedness must first be eliminated, the shooting target of the Minnie gun is mostly between 50 meters and 100 meters, if there is a person standing 50 meters away, the volunteers can not see, this situation is useless to the Mini gun of the volunteers, because he is given a Minnie gun The target cannot be seen, the shooting is invalid, and the small number of Minnie spearmen is wasted in vain.
The second is the need for volunteers with a certain talent, after the first round of screening, the remaining volunteers will give them seven days of training time, if these seven days, a target can not be hit, the gun misses the target, such volunteers can only go back to be Mitsubishi spearmen, holding a Minnie gun can not hit the target, or quit the Minnie spearman sequence, to be a gunner requires a certain talent.
At the place where the vision was checked, many volunteers lined up, and Zhang Anlai was a little late and patted at the back of the line.
There was no sound of joy or sighing in front of him, Zhang An guessed what was going on, of course those with poor eyesight were happy, and those with poor eyesight could only sigh. Zhang An didn't know how to test his eyesight, and he was inevitably nervous, he didn't want to be eliminated because his eyesight was not good, that would be really aggrieved, he obviously had the opportunity to become a Minnie spearman, but he quit because his eyesight was not good, how could he not have the mood of nesting.
Soon it was Zhang An's turn to check his eyesight, there was a table in front of him, there was a wooden block, and then there were some strange symbols outside the zhang, which was actually the famous "E" test table for checking eyesight in later generations.
The inspector "covered one eye with that piece of wood, yes, that's it." Look here, this symbol goes that way. ”
Zhang An saw the inspection method of the brother in front of him in the back, heard the inspector's order to pick up a wooden block to block his left eye, and saw a symbol pointed by the inspector and definitely said "Left!" "Swipe your hand to the left.
Inspector: "Yes, this. "The standard just now was "0.6" for visual acuity, and this time it refers to the "0.8" standard.
Zhang An said it accurately, and when he got to the back, the symbols became smaller and smaller, and when he reached the standard of "1.2" in strength, Zhang An gave up, because there was a thousand blurs to see there.
Changed to the other eye, the situation is the same, stopping at "1.2"
Inspector: "Okay, you're done, come and get the certificate!" ”
The smile on Zhang An's face couldn't be suppressed, he was finally qualified to touch the mini gun.
During the training, a platoon commander led 20 new gunners, including volunteers who could be made, and seven days later they were officially awarded individual mini guns, and the mini guns during the training belonged to everyone.
The platoon commander came over and randomly selected twenty waiting newcomers, and Zhang An was among them.
The platoon commander took people to a shooting range, numbered No. 125, and the platoon commander asked people to send five Mini guns over, and the five Mini guns were placed on the table, Zhang An felt excited in his heart and couldn't take his eyes off it. Whether it is a horse or a mule pulled out to slip and slip will be known, and through the vision examination, it means that God will give you food, and whether you can eat it in your mouth depends on your performance in seven days. If the platoon commander thinks you're not fit to be a Minnie spearman, you'll have to go back to being a third-class private.
As long as there is a group, there will be a high and low, and now in the Volunteer Army, there is a faint beginning to appear a hierarchy, the first class is undoubtedly artillery, the second class Minnie spearman, the third class Mitsubishi spearman, and the third class is the most difficult to get credit. Zhang An didn't want to go back to be a third-class soldier.
If you want to become a private of the first class, you need a talent for mathematics. The artillery has been selected before, a primary school mathematics graduation test question, you can become an artilleryman, the mathematics volunteers have not stopped teaching, even if they are fighting outside, the volunteers with mathematical talent are easy to pass, Zhang An once tried, but unfortunately failed, he does not have much talent in mathematics.
Platoon Commander: "You watch me operate the Minnie gun, see how the Minnie gun is loaded, and the steps are indispensable." ”
The platoon commander loaded the ammunition of the Minnie gun like a flowing stream, and the newcomers around him were dazzled, and after loading it in one go, he shot at the human target fifty meters away.
"Smack!"
The bullet was out of the chamber and did not hit the target, the platoon commander did not hurry to reload the second bullet, and three shots in a row were off the target, until after the fourth shot, it hit the humanoid target, and the sound of hitting the target was heard in the distance. The target is specially made and makes a loud sound when it hits the target.
Platoon commander: "See, your goal is to be able to hit one shot in six shots, and you can become a Minnie spearman, these seven days are for you to train, and you will be assessed after seven days, of course, the assessment is not necessarily, your performance in these seven days is good, and you can also pass." ”
Zhang An waited for a while, and finally it was his turn to touch the gun, and the five newcomers shared a mini gun and took turns to use it.
The Mini gun weighs about ten pounds, Zhang An feels a little difficult to use, but it is acceptable, he remembered all the steps of the platoon commander before, and now he can learn the platoon commander's practice, because the first time he reloaded, the technique was rusty, and the platoon commander could shoot two bullets in one minute, and Zhang An now took four minutes to load. It's a lot slower, but the platoon commander is already familiar with reloading, and it's normal to be fast.
After the loading was completed, Zhang An's muzzle was aimed at the target in the distance, and Zhang An's eyesight of the humanoid target was very clear, and what he had to do now was to hit the bullet at the target.
"Smack." The bullet missed the target, everyone didn't say anything, a veteran like the platoon commander hit the target with four shots, he Zhang An is a newcomer, and it is strange that he can hit it for the first time.
Mini gun only a simple three-point one-line aim, the target needs the cooperation of the whole body, the first time the target is even if the eye can see the target, the body is not well coordinated, it is normal to miss the target, if you want to hit the target, it takes a certain amount of time to train, the muzzle is aimed at the target, and the body matches the pointing of the eyes to hit.
