Chapter 82: Changing Clothes
It's time to quarantine.
The training will continue, but when I arrived at the training playground today, Gao Yuan found that it was different from the past.
There were a lot of heavy machine guns on the playground.
Zhang Zhe turned his head and smiled with a smile: "What did I say?" You see, this is for us to use machine guns. β
There were a total of five heavy machine guns, that is, one for each of the five squadrons for training.
Sure enough, when Gao Yuan and the others were brought to the front of the three heavy machine guns placed together, an officer who led the team said loudly: "The first squadron is approaching me, we will explain the use of heavy machine guns today, and in front of you is the Type 85 anti-aircraft machine gun, this anti-aircraft machine gun weighs 41.5 kg, the body weighs 18.6 kg, the gun carriage weighs 17.9 kg, and the caliber is 12.7 mm." β
Seeing this machine gun to learn to use, it also understood the position of the volunteers, which was to defend rather than attack.
When the big red third company was dispatched, it was the 88 general machine and the 89 heavy machine, why use these two types, because the 88 general machine is a 5.8 mm caliber, which is the lightest weight in the general-purpose machine gun, and the 89 heavy machine needless to say, the lightest in the 12.7 mm caliber.
However, if you want to defend the shelter, you can set up a fixed machine gun position, so a heavy machine gun that is too heavy to move is more suitable.
The length of the bullet used in the Type 85 anti-aircraft machine gun is 108 mm, what is the concept, that is, hitting a person can really interrupt a person, and the power is absolutely enough.
"A Type 85 machine gun crew consists of four people, namely the shooter, the deputy shooter, and two ammunition men, when moving with the gun, the shooter carries the gun body, the deputy shooter carries the gun carriage, and the ammunition man is responsible for carrying the bullets, now we will show you how to operate the Type 85 heavy machine gun."
The Heavy sits behind the machine gun, the secondary shooter simulates reloading, firing, and then the ammo man provides a new chain.
A demo is just such a thing, and it really will be a sight to behold.
The anti-aircraft machine gun is nominally used to shoot planes, but most of the time this gun is fired flat, that is, to hit people, so there is no difference between an anti-aircraft machine gun group and an ordinary heavy machine gun group, if you do not train how to shoot at air targets.
After a brief demonstration of how to shoot and reload, all that remains is how to disassemble the machine gun and how to assemble it.
Repeating it over and over again is to demonstrate these things, and then the shooter also takes the trouble to repeat one thing over and over again.
"Anti-aircraft machine guns are only allowed to fire short bursts, not long bursts, especially bursts! This is absolutely not allowed! β
Finally, someone couldn't help it and said loudly: "Report to the instructor, if there are a lot of zombies, can't you send them in a row?" β
"That's right! You can shoot short shots frequently, and you can't shoot in bursts! β
"Why don't you let the burst fire?"
"Because this gun is very powerful, if you want to fire repeatedly, the bullet will not know where it will fly, and it will only waste the bullet."
The instructor has a good temper and patiently explains the volunteers' questions, even if some of them are naΓ―ve.
It wasn't until no one asked any more questions that the instructor said loudly: "Now let's start working in groups for practical operations, starting with the first squad and two teams." β
Zhang Zhe let out a long breath, he walked in front of the heavy machine gun, and then he held the anti-aircraft machine gun with an affectionate face.
"Comrade, you must not have been in a machine gun company before, right?"
Zhang Zhe asked inexplicably, and the instructor was stunned for a moment and said, "No, how do you know?" β
"You're right, but you can do it...... Not skilled. β
The instructor was stunned again and said, "Not skilled? β
"If you are not skilled, you will not be skilled in loading, and you will not be skilled in disassembling and assembling."
The instructor was a little angry, he straightened his face, and said, "What does it mean that you are very powerful?" β
Zhang Zhe smiled and said, "I don't mean to call the board, but I'm a heavy machine gun shooter, hey, I didn't do anything else, I just served him in the army." β
Pointing to the anti-aircraft machine gun, Zhang Zhe said with a look of anger: "It's not me who blows, it is estimated that there are few people here who use this better than me, is there an indicator of live ammunition shooting?" How many shots per person? β
The instructor was stunned for a moment and said, "No wonder it's so horizontal, it turns out to be a machine gun shooter, then you don't need to be selected, you are the main shooter." β
"That's for sure, are there indicators for live firing? How many rounds? β
"Twenty rounds per person, but you're a veteran, don't waste bullets, and no one else has a chance to shoot twenty bullets."
Zhang Zhe was stunned, and then he said loudly: "Don't, I haven't played live ammunition for a long time, how can I not let me touch it?" β
"Don't waste time here, your group can get to the ground, let's get started."
Gao Yuan went up and pushed Zhang Zhe aside, and said with a smile: "Let you pretend, haha." β
There are five people in a group, and it is impossible for everyone to be a shooter, so the only suspense in their group is who will be the deputy shooter.
Dismantling and loading, that's all there is to it, but a squadron of 100 people and 20 teams, even if a squadron only takes 10 minutes, it will take half a day to take turns to actually operate.
By the time the heavy machine gun was fired live, it was also in the afternoon.
After the bullet was fired, no one knew whether his performance was good or bad, because the instructor didn't say it, but it didn't matter, the instructor didn't say anything about Zhang Zhe.
"This doesn't work, absolutely not, you can't even master point shooting and be a fart shooter."
"This is even worse, if you want me to say, this shooting training is a waste of bullets."
Zhang Zhe could only mumble in a low voice, and Gao Yuan also whispered beside him: "Captain, when do you think we can use heavy machine guns?" β
After thinking about it, Zhang Zhe smiled and said: "If you want me to say, our brigade of 500 people, at most seven machine guns will be distributed, and any more is a waste, I see that after learning this day, it will be like six people shooting guns, so plus we will be issued with a maximum of seven heavy machine guns, but our group is different, our group has me, so believe it or not, we may strengthen the training of machine guns, mainly to train you." β
Li Changfeng said with some excitement: "Is it that in the future, our group will no longer need to use knives and shields, and use machine guns instead?" β
Zhang Zhe hesitated for a moment and said: "I think so, there is a shortage of machine gunners, and now there are more guns than people, so there is no reason to waste me as a genius machine gunner, so we should change to heavy machine guns, and in the future, you will be my ammunition hands." β
Li Changfeng was very happy, and he said in a low voice: "It would be great if it was true, loading bullets is much better than holding an axe." β
Zhang Zhe was a little unhappy, but he opened his mouth but still didn't say anything.
As for Gao Yuan, he and Li Changfeng had a thought, being an ammunition hand is much better than taking a long knife to cut zombies, first of all, it is not so dangerous, but what makes him happiest is that he doesn't have to disinfect when he comes back after cutting zombies, and the feeling of being sprayed with disinfectant in the winter is really uncomfortable.
