"We Chinese have 450,000 compatriots, while the Japanese have only tens of millions. China has a vast land and abundant resources, while Japan is only a small country, and its land area is less than that of one province in China. The reason why the Japanese were able to occupy so much of our land and kill so many of our people. The main reason is that we are not united and do not focus on the outside world, which leads to the Japanese taking advantage of the opportunity to occupy our rivers and mountains and kill our people. Of course, it is also a fact that our national strength is weak, and our weapons and equipment are inferior to those of the Japanese army. But I believe that as long as we are united, we are united in our external affairs, and we have reasonable tactics and tactics. Just grit your teeth and stick to it. We will definitely be able to drive the Japanese devils out of China! ”

"Good! Captain Zhou said it well, said it well! ”

After listening to Zhou Yu's words, the emotions of the simple militia were immediately mobilized, and everyone immediately applauded, swept away the previous decline, and even their morale was higher.

……

Zhao Shixun glanced at Zhou Yu, this kid's eloquence surprised him a little. However, although the other party was right, it did not have much effect on the militia in front of him. The war against Japan requires more than just morale, and reckless men are of no use except to send them to death.

Da Zhuzi won a lot of applause when he saw Zhou Yu's words, and pouted unconvinced.

"Hmph......, who wouldn't talk about the scene, and it's not by lip service to fight devils! What a god! ”

"Okay, everyone be quiet, and now our captain Comrade Zhao Shixun will lecture you."

Raising his hand to silence the militiamen, Zhou Yu turned around and saluted, and proudly signaled that Zhao Shixun could speak.

Chong Zhouyu nodded, and Zhao Shixun's eyes swept over everyone's faces.

"What everyone said just now is good, I won't talk much nonsense here."

"The Japanese are not scary, they also have two shoulders against one head and one mouth to eat. There is no difference between us and us, and there is no difference between strength and weakness in essence.

Of course, it is a fact that the weapons of the Japanese army are better than ours, and this cannot be denied. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Shixun paused, looked at the militia in front of him and said loudly:

"But! The outcome of the war is not determined by weapons alone, but ultimately by people!

In battle, the infantry is often the decisive force that wins the final victory, and all other branches of the infantry provide support for the battle. Whether in offensive battles or defensive operations. Superiority in equipment or even superiority in numbers is not a decisive factor in victory in battle!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Shixun suddenly raised his voice.

"A troop's leadership ability, command ability, and training level and will to fight are the decisive factors that determine the victory or defeat of a battle, and no matter how good the weaponry is, it can only increase the probability of victory in the battle."

"To put it bluntly, if we want to defeat the devil, we have to have three magic weapons. Tactical command, intensive training, and a steely will to fight! ”

"I'm bringing you together today to equip the big guys with these qualities. Later training may be hard and tiring. But I only have one purpose in doing this, which is to let you kill more devils ......! Do you understand? ”

"Got it!"

"I can't hear you! Didn't you eat in the morning! ”

"Got ......it!!"

Listening to the overwhelming roar in front of him, Zhao Shixun nodded with satisfaction. These men in the mountains all joined the army spontaneously, and the morale of the devils was very high, which was incomparable to the strong soldiers on the side of the national army. It can be seen from the previous battles that although these militias are poorly trained and poorly armed, they are never afraid of battle!

From ancient times to the present, the army that dares to fight is not a weak brigade!

After the hard training began, Zhao Shixun chose to skip the boring queue training directly. My brothers don't even have a regular military uniform, and they drill around in this big ravine all year round. At present, the boring queue training is basically useless, so it is better to skip it.

However, Zhao Shixun did not omit all of them, and the more useful passwords, stragglers, gathering, and marching were still in his training plan. After all, the militia is also a soldier, and it can't run around in a swarm when it can't fight.

Since he didn't have a single heavy weapon now, Zhao Shixun focused his training on light infantry offense and defense.

On the attacking side, the main training is password recognition, skirmisher platoon marching, reconnaissance and concealment, attack route selection, light machine gun use and position selection, and squad and platoon coordination.

On the defensive side, the main training is password recognition, trench and foxhole digging arrangement, concealment and ambush, ambush position selection, the principle of firefight, the use of light machine guns, fire coordination, and counterattack timing.

In order to improve the speed and quality of training, Zhao Shixun broke the rigid training method on the eighth day of training and began to divide the militia into two groups, one for attack and one for defense. Conduct highly targeted confrontation training, so that the militia can quickly enter a combat state and quickly accumulate combat experience in confrontational training.

Every morning, Zhao Shixun will personally explain the various points of attack and defense, lead everyone to conduct training in marching, attacking, reconnaissance and other aspects, and then lead everyone to learn the selection of positions and the arrangement of trench foxholes. For the training of digging trenches, Zhou Yu felt that there was no need to be too involved at first, because the main combat method of the Eighth Route Army belonged to guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, and there were more ambushes and encounters, and the conditions for fighting positional warfare were too few.

Regarding Zhou Yu's thoughts, Zhao Shixun directly chose to ignore them. It is difficult to change the fact that the firepower of the Chinese army is weaker than that of the Japanese army, and if the training is not strengthened in the bunkers, the casualties in the battle will definitely remain high. Zhao Shixun, who has many years of experience in positional warfare with the Japanese army, knows very well that a good bunker is even stronger than a few light machine guns! On the battlefield, only by keeping more people alive can we win the victory, and as soon as the war starts, they will become cannon fodder and fart.

Half a month later, .......

In a valley to the east of Shenquan Village, in the afternoon sun, thirty-two militiamen scattered in a scattered line.

At the front of the team were about thirteen people fanned out to form the vanguard of the battle, and they were led by Zhou Yu, who were the soldiers of a squad led by the big pillar. Although it was an attack, the advancing militia was spaced at a distance of more than 10 to 20 meters, and they stood quite loosely.

The stragglers kept a certain distance from each other, and this distance was proposed by Zhao Shixun and demanded that it be strictly enforced. Zhao Shixun had previously come into contact with the German instructors of the German Armor Division of the Central Army, and from them Zhao Shixun learned about the latest German infantry offensive tactics. This tactic was proposed relatively late, that is, Germany was still under discussion, so the Nationalist Government did not promote it before the war.

At first, Zhao Shixun only studied with curiosity, but after several years of fighting against Japan, Zhao Shixun felt more and more that this tactic was very effective. The Germans believed that in offensive battles, infantry was often the decisive force in the final victory, and that all other branches of the army supported the infantry in battle. But in the face of the popularity of automatic fire, especially light machine gun mortars. The defender can often concentrate a large amount of automatic fire in the platoon position, giving the attacker great damage. Even the Japanese army, which lacked automatic firepower, was equipped with three light machine guns and three grenadiers in an infantry squad of 54 people!

Under such firepower, although the infantry line charge is conducive to launching a white-knuckle battle, the casualties suffered are also huge. During the Battle of Taiyuan, Zhao Shixun's position once launched a reinforced battalion-level charge in an attempt to recapture the lost position. However, in the face of a small group of Japanese defensive positions, the national army suffered more than 200 casualties on the offensive front line of less than 300 meters! Again, this is just rifle, light machine guns and grenadier grenades!

After a bloody lesson, Zhao Shixun finally realized the role of straggler tactics. During the militia training, Zhao Shixun tried to dispel public opinion, demanding that everyone must keep their distance in the offensive battle, and they were not allowed to assemble until they entered the white-knuckle charge.

At a distance of about 30 meters behind the thirteen forward militiamen, there was a six-man machine gun squad, which was dispersed in groups of two and followed closely behind the forwards, separated by more than ten meters from each other, and was specially responsible for supporting the operation. This distance was also requested by Zhao Shixun, which could not only ensure smooth communication with the striker, but also ensure that the machine gunners were always in a favorable position in the offensive formation during the battle.

Since the militia had captured as many as three machine guns, which was quite good in terms of firepower, Zhao Shixun specially selected three people from each squad to form a fighter gun squad during the training, and at the same time collectively learned machine gun shooting techniques and participated in confrontation training in the form of a combat squad.

Thirty meters behind the machine gun squad, Tiewa led a squad into a straggler line to be responsible for the rear, forming a rearguard in a battle formation.

According to Zhao Shixun's arrangement, two squads of 32 people formed a combat team, which was responsible for simulating the defense side of the attack and fortification in the preset area. More than half of the attacker's casualties are considered a failure, and the defender's position is over-occupied or more than half of the casualties are judged to be a failure.

Since there were no training bombs, Zhao Shixun boldly chose a live-fire exercise. This is not Zhao Shixun's madness, but being forced out in the face of an extreme combat environment.

Of course, the live-fire exercise is not a real one-shot exercise with live ammunition, but a judgment exercise.

Zhao Shixun, who went to a military academy, knew that in the West and Japan, the main way of exercise was for the defenders to arrange their positions and preset position targets. When attacking, the attacker uses artillery, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, aircraft and other firepower to cooperate with the infantry to attack the target on the preset position. When the target or bunker on the preset position is destroyed by a certain amount of ammunition, the defender is judged to have lost and exits the battle. Similarly, the defending side will also shoot at targets on the offensive route arranged by the attacker, and according to the specific casualty calculation method, when the defender consumes a certain number of attacker's tactical objectives within the specified time, it will determine that the attacker's casualty is too large and the attack fails.
