During the exercise, both the defending and attacking sides attacked the preset targets, determined the results of the tactical campaign exercise through data judgment, and analyzed the training data.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible for Cho Shixun to conduct such exercises at the moment, for which he decided to massively simplify the way of conducting exercises. The defender builds a position directly on the spot, while the attacker shoots two improvised targets during the attack, and then charges directly into a white-knuckle fight. Through some simple battle settings, determine the results of the offensive and defensive teams. In this way, the purpose of training the troops in an environment close to actual combat can be achieved.

After the team had traveled two miles, the sharp-eyed pillar was the first to spot the ambush position on the hillside four hundred meters away.

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly, three consecutive box gunshots rang out in the valley. This is a signal set by Zhao Shixun, which means that the defender has discovered the attacking detachment. Before that, it began to enter the exercise judgment range.

"Lie down!"

With a roar from the big pillar, the entire attacking team fell to the ground and began to hide on the spot.

Glancing at the surroundings, the big pillar yelled at the Heavy behind him:

"The machine gunner stepped forward to take up a vantage point on the mountainside protrusion on the right and waited for the next order!"

Hearing the roar of the large pillar, the six machine gunners moved quickly, and soon set up machine gun positions on a ridge to the right of the striker.

On the top of the mountain on the left side of the valley, Zhao Shixun held his glasses and kept observing the battle under the mountain, while the old immortal sat on a stone and enjoyed his newly bought dry tobacco.

"Well, the big pillar is worthy of being an old machine gunner, so he quickly found the best position for the machine gun."

"That's it, how to say it, this kid is also a veteran of four or five years of war. If you want to remind you of this little bit of the turtle son's doorway, then don't eat this bowl of rice. ”

Meimei spit out a smoke ring, and the old immortal pulled the brim of the broken military hat as low as possible, and glanced at the hot sun unpleasantly.

Because the only heavy firepower of his team is light machine guns, Zhao Shixun attaches great importance to the coordination between machine guns and infantry.

For the training of machine gun use, Zhao Shixun specially gathered all the militia together and explained to everyone for three consecutive days how to use light and heavy machine guns in battle.

In the past, in the minds of many militiamen, machine gun cover was a group of infantry rushing out of the trenches and rushing towards the enemy in a swarm, while the machine guns behind them suddenly and constantly strafed to suppress the enemy in the distance.

But this creates a serious problem, as machine gun fire can easily kill charging allies. The militias are aware of the problem, but they don't know how to solve it.

In view of this question, Zhao Shixun told everyone that in fact, there is no need to worry about this problem at all, because professional machine gunners will not be so tiger in war, and they all pay attention to strategy and tactics.

And the charging infantry will not rush up in a large area in the dark, because then even if they will not be killed by their own people, they will be caught by enemy fire. In actual combat, the distance between the members of our squad is as wide as possible, generally kept between 15 and 30 meters, so as to reduce the probability of being caught by light and heavy machine guns and/or shells.

If it is really necessary to charge, the first thing the commanders at the grassroots level should do is to first send people to find out the specific location of the enemy's defense and heavy weapon firepower points; if they have artillery, they will of course clear the enemy's firepower points in advance. If not, in order to reduce casualties, the distance of the charge should be kept as short as possible, the infantry should be lurked closer to the enemy as much as possible, and the time the infantry will be in the fire lane after the attack has been launched.

In this case, it was necessary to place light and heavy machine gun positions in the rear so that the charging infantry could be supported by strong fire. Of course, in battle, the position of light and heavy machine guns must be carefully arranged, and they must not be arranged at will, especially not stupidly in the center of the front of the position.

The correct placement of the machine guns should be distributed on both sides of the position, and try to occupy the commanding heights while obtaining a good firing range. Of course, it is not arranged on the side of the front of the position, but hidden behind the forward strength of 50 to 200 meters. This arrangement is the best arrangement, not only to have a higher hit rate than the center of the charge of friendly troops, but also to form a cross-fire point, to achieve the effect of tactical flank attacks, inflicting greater damage to the enemy.

After the above work is completed, the next step is to delineate the firing range of light and heavy machine guns, which is also the key. The so-called firing range is to take the position of the light and heavy machine gun as the origin point, and form a fan, which is the strafing range of the heavy machine gun, and the machine gunner is not allowed to expand his firing range without authorization before receiving a new order. And before launching a charge, they will also explain to their infantry the location of the fire range and fire channel. Therefore, when the infantry is charging, they must not rush in a swarm, and strictly prevent entering their own fire range and causing accidental injury.

So the question is, what if you want to hit a target outside the shooting range, but you are afraid of hurting your own people?

At this point, the "overshoot shot" can be carried out. The so-called transcendence shooting is to shoot at a certain angle, using the influence of gravity to make the bullet pass above your own soldiers in a parabolic line, and then hit the enemy target from the top of your head. Of course, beyond shooting is very demanding for machine gunners, not only to be able to calculate the firing distance and angle, but also to go through rigorous theoretical and practical training, the amount of ammunition consumed in the training alone is staggering, which is also an important factor in the limited number of heavy machine guns.

Therefore, Zhao Shixun only briefly said about transcendence shooting in the training, and did not include it in the training content.

……

"But this Zhou Yu is not bad, although he has the title of vice captain, he can really put down the shelf and learn. It used to make me look down on him for the sake of immortality. ”

"Well, this kid is educated, courageous, and not arrogant. It's a buildable material. Hey, the big pillar has touched it. ”

……

In the valley, Zhou Yu's big pillar crawled forward with the forward, and after touching more than 100 meters to the front and occupying a ridge, he waved the flag at the machine gun squad.

Soon, the machine-gun squad quickly moved forward more than a hundred meters, again establishing new machine-gun positions behind the flanks of the militia ranks.

After the establishment of the machine-gun battlefield, only one gunshot was heard, and a row of half-meter-high wooden planks with characters painted on them was erected at a position of 100 meters in front of the striker, and there were about 20 wooden boards, some of which depicted Japanese infantry, and some of which depicted puppet soldiers.

At this time, the exercise entered the stage of cover, suppression, and impact. According to Zhao Shixun's regulations, the infantry would make a 100-meter charge under the cover of machine guns. The requirements for a charge to win are simple, the loss of strikers and defenders must not be more than half, otherwise the attack will be judged lost.

After the plank man stood up, Zhou Yu immediately gave the order to attack.

"The defenders moved forward and were ready to join the attacking sequence. Machine gunners ready! ”

Soon, the guard squad led by Tiewa rushed over and joined the forward squad together.

After the troops were assembled, the big pillar was the first to stand up and shouted:

"Brothers of the first class! Get ready to charge! ”

"The second shift is ready to cover and shoot one bullet each!"

Tiewa lifted her Hanyang-made and shouted as she aimed at a wooden target a hundred meters away.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Zhou Yu raised his box cannon and aimed at a target in front of him.

Bang! ...... "Hit!" ”

Bang bang .......

There was a burst of gunfire, a volley of bullets was fired, and five or six wooden targets a hundred meters away in front were knocked down.

"Rush ......!"

The big pillar roared, and he was the first to step out of the trench, and rushed towards the forward position at full speed with his waist bent, and the first squad of soldiers followed closely behind him, keeping a certain distance and rushing out.

Seeing someone rushing over, the militia squatting in the trench in front immediately raised two new plank targets, on which were painted two devil machine gunners!

The moment the plank target was erected, the crooked machine guns in the right rear of the attacking team immediately opened fire and began to fire in short bursts.

Da Da Da ...... Da-da-da-da!

In the midst of the gunfire, a wooden target with a drawing of a machine gunner was smashed into pieces and flew upside down .......

According to Zhao Shixun's regulations, there were only 12 rounds of ammunition in the rear machine gun, and if the infantry charged within a distance of 60 meters, or within 12 bullets, two wooden targets with machine gunners painted on them could not be knocked down. That is, it was judged that the charge of the first squad was blocked by serious enemy fire, and more than half of the casualties were declared defeated.

This kind of real-life maneuver looks good, but it is quite dangerous and consumes precious ammunition in vain. However, at present, Zhao Shixun can't take care of those, the Japanese cage policy is getting tighter and tighter, and the blockade of the mountains is becoming more and more ruthless, which has threatened the survival of the county brigade. If your team can't progress quickly at this time, you will have to wait to be strangled. In the current situation, only the exercise of real guns and live ammunition can make everyone mature faster, so Zhao Shixun tried his best to disregard public opinion and carried out three consecutive live fire exercises.

In the first two live-fire exercises, because Zhou Yu was not proficient enough in the arrangement of machine gun positions, the machine gun firing range was affected, and it was impossible to "destroy" all the devil machine gun targets within the specified ammunition. The first charge failed directly, and the second time was due to the large "losses" in the early stage, which led to the defeat in the later stage due to insufficient troops.

Before the start of the third and final exercise, Zhou Yu offered to let Dazhu be responsible for the arrangement of the machine gun position, and he followed the study and found out his own shortcomings from the arrangement of others.

Regarding Zhou Yu's proposal, Zhao Shixun agreed without thinking about it. Although the other party is the vice captain of this team, if his skills and tactics are really lacking, Zhao Shixun will not be perfunctory for the sake of face. This time, even if Zhou Yu didn't take the initiative to say it, Zhao Shixun would let Da Zhu be responsible for the firepower arrangement of this attack.
