Chapter 538: Machine Gun Drill

Now Lin Ziran is still in the entrepreneurial stage, and is in the critical period of entrepreneurship, which has passed the Daheng Unification Army he established, and may be able to successfully go public, and finally become a large listed company like the Seventh Dynasty of Daheng.

If you can't move forward, then you can hold on for a long time, but if you have been stagnant, then it means that there is no room for future growth, and investors don't like this kind of company that has no future growth space.

The more critical it is, the more we can't relax.

Even Lin Ziran chose to get married at this critical period, which was also in this consideration.

Now the Daheng Unification Army is preparing for the Northern Expedition with great fanfare, but the leader of the Daheng Unification Army, the soul of Lin Ziran, is still a single dog, not to mention that there is no heir, not even a wife.

To be honest, this worries a lot of people.

In case Lin Ziran suddenly hangs up, if there is no heir, wouldn't this huge Daheng United Army interest group be split in minutes?

Not to mention that if the Northern Expedition is successful, then the Seventh Dynasty of Daheng will definitely be established, and it is inevitable that Lin Ziran will ascend the throne as emperor.

However, in this case, without an heir, or even a wife, it is even more difficult to reassure a group of entrepreneurial partners and investors.

This is the fundamental reason why Lin Ziran got married at such a critical moment!

The current Daheng unified army, the future Daheng Seventh Dynasty needs him to marry a woman and give birth to an heir!

At this critical moment of preparation, announcing the news of his marriage to the outside world can greatly stabilize people's hearts, improve morale, and eliminate the anxiety of many people.

Now Lin Ziran's status, even if it is just a marriage, it is enough to become a major event that affects the situation, so even Lin Ziran himself has never regarded his marriage as a private relationship between his children.

As for love or something, it's even more nonsense, he loves Meng Yuling?

Not to mention that he doesn't believe it, it is estimated that Meng Yuling himself knows it.

But if you want to say that you like it, there are actually some, after all, no matter how Lin Ziran is, he will not find a woman he doesn't like to marry, even if it is just for political purposes, he has to find a pleasing one.

Lin Ziran's marriage did not delay Lin Ziran too much time, on the wedding day and even a few days after the wedding, Lin Ziran was constantly meeting people or holding meetings.

Even to some extent, Lin Ziran has been busier these days.

On the fifth day of the wedding, Lin Ziran left Luohai City and took a boat north to Luo'an City, inspecting some of the Ninth Army troops stationed in Luo'an City.

The troops of the Ninth Army belonged to the newly reorganized troops, and some of the soldiers came from the soldiers of Quyang Prefecture, and some of them came from the newly recruited soldiers.

After several months passed, the reorganization of the Ninth Army proceeded smoothly, and the Army High Command reported that the reorganization of the Ninth Army had been preliminarily completed, and at the same time, it had also received a large number of new weapons and equipment, that is, Luoan III rifles, various types of rear-loading rifled guns, and rapid-fire mortars.

Although we have not been able to complete a thorough reorganization, and the equipment of advanced weapons is still slightly lacking, we have initially achieved combat effectiveness.

This one has combat effectiveness, but it can be said that it can be pulled to the front line to participate in front-line battles.

Purely in terms of the quality and equipment level of the officers and men, the Ninth Army, which was only established at the beginning of this year, actually surpassed the Eighth Army and the Seventh Army that were established before.

This is because when the Ninth Army was reorganized, a large number of newly recruited soldiers and active-duty backbones were added, and the overall quality of personnel was relatively high, and the distance was close, and it was stationed in Nanhai Prefecture itself, and a large number of new weapons were given priority in the vicinity.

At present, the Daheng Unification Army has a total of 11 infantry corps, several main forces are on the northern front, several secondary forces are on the northern second line, and two armies are in the southern rear, and as a strategic reserve, there is actually only one ninth army.

As a strategic reserve force of the whole army, it is only natural that the Ninth Army should be taken seriously.

Lin Ziran took the time to inspect a part of the Ninth Army out of this consideration.

After inspecting some troops of the Ninth Army in Luo Ancheng, Lin Ziran returned to Luo Haicheng again, and his follow-up work was still related to military affairs.

On the second day after returning to Luohai City, he went to the suburban training ground and watched a small but very special exercise!

The focus of this exercise was not on infantry artillery or anything like that, the focus was on machine gun units.

This is because this exercise is the first large-scale exercise in which machine gun units have participated.

The exercise force is a garrison division.

It is expected that the units participating in the exercise will include infantry, artillery, cavalry, as well as a machine-gun battalion directly under the garrison division.

As Lin Ziran's guard unit, the garrison division was expanded step by step from his personal soldier company, garrison battalion, garrison regiment, and garrison brigade, and its importance is self-evident.

All kinds of advanced equipment have always been prioritized, and heavy machine guns are no exception, but in the early trial production stage of heavy machine guns, the output is very low, so they have not been able to equip too much.

A few months ago, as soon as the heavy machine gun was successfully developed and finalized, the army decided to equip it with heavy machine guns on a large scale, and then set up a machine gun training regiment, but although this regiment is called a regiment, it is not a formal regiment-level troop establishment, but it is only a regiment name for easy management.

In fact, the backbone personnel of the machine gun battalion of the garrison division were also trained together with the army's machine gun training regiment.

The first batch of machine-gun soldiers who were trained in the early stage of the garrison division have returned to the garrison division, and four heavy machine gun companies have been formed with them as the backbone, each company is equipped with four heavy machine guns, and these four heavy machine gun companies are directly assigned to the four infantry regiments.

This is the first time that these heavy machine-gun units have participated in a live-fire exercise together with infantry artillery units.

Before the exercise officially began, Lin Ziran personally inspected the positions of some of the exercise units of the garrison division, and the focus of the inspection was naturally on the machine-gun positions.

Because the number of heavy machine guns equipped as a whole is small, and only four of them belong to a regiment, the use of machine guns by the exercise troops is also different, and some units are directly erected in extremely strong pillboxes.

In some cases, infantry units were set up directly in the trenches.

Although there are some differences in the specific use, the overall purpose is to maximize the firepower of the heavy machine gun while protecting itself.

But after walking through it, he looked at the schematic map of the firepower of some of the defending troops submitted by the accompanying staff officer, and when he saw that the machine gun fire was shooting straight forward, he said: "With the ballistics and fire density of the heavy machine gun, if you aim and shoot directly ahead, the firepower coverage area is limited, you can try to make multiple machine guns form crossfire!" ”

As he spoke, he directly took a pencil and drew a big cross line directly on it!

Lin Ziran pointed to the schematic diagram of the defensive line and said: "In these two positions, each deploy a heavy machine gun to shoot at an oblique angle in the middle area to form crossfire!" ”

Wu Guanlin, who was next to him, saw this picture and immediately said: "My lord is smart, this can indeed greatly increase the density of machine gun fire and effective lethality!" ”
