Back to Xiucai, they wanted to learn to play cannons, and the two high school students they brought were alumni of Sangou's hometown high school, one was named Wu Dingli, who was in the third class of Xiucai, and the other was named Zhang Zhiguang, who was in the first class of Tienong with bamboo poles.

The relationship between this fellow comrade-in-arms and alumni suddenly pulled the distance between Sangou and them, and Xiucai and Zhugan knew that this mortar was difficult to operate, so they brought the person with the highest education in the platoon and everyone learned together.

That's okay, with these two soldiers with a mathematical foundation, it will be much easier for the three dogs to hand them over, first teach Wu Dingli and Zhang Zhiguang, and then ask them to make up lessons for Xiucai and bamboo poles, and teach while learning, and learn quickly.

Sangou thought that these two soldiers were very good, and they had to be sent to military schools in the future, and they couldn't be scrapped on this battlefield, there was too much shortage of talents, and the weapons that were a little difficult in the army would not be used by most of the illiterate comrades-in-arms, or they could not be used well.

For example, it is difficult for everyone to be able to operate heavy machine guns, observe posts, scouts, etc., not to mention mortars that require such technical work.

According to the normal equipment, the three dogs and their A division are equipped with artillery battalions, among which the mortar company (12 guns), the battalion can't be divided, let alone the company, the regiment can be assigned one, but this high-end weapon, the division headquarters will not be easily disassembled and used.

The battle defense artillery company (4 guns) seems to be a very old cannon, and the number of shells is surprisingly small, and there are only a few boxes and dozens of each cannon.

I heard that in the artillery camp, there are also 8 75 mountain guns, which is even more precious, and the three dogs don't say to see, they didn't even listen to the sound of their mountain artillery.

As for low-end weapons such as submachine guns and grenadiers, they are available in the company, but there are very few, and there are only 4 grenadiers in the whole company. But it's good to have it.

In other companies, there is usually one for each of the three platoons, and one for the company headquarters to be mobile, but now the 7th company has four platoons, and the cattle are all divided, and each platoon has a grenadier canister.

Sangou saw that the grenadier of the 4th platoon was a radish, everyone used to call him a flowery radish, after several years of military tempering, the radish has changed a lot, at least those romantic spirits are gone, and now people call it "iron radish".

That grenadier looks a bit like a radish, an iron radish, more figurative. Sangou has seen the grenadier of the turnip, which is the kind he learned in school, imitating the Japanese army Taisho for ten years.

This grenadier has been mentioned before, and the range is about 175 meters, which is too little distance compared to mortars, but it is much better than grenades, so it is an artillery shell weapon between mortars and grenades.

It just fills the gap between the mortar and the grenade, making the infantry's firepower three-dimensional, long-range, and flexible.

Especially in places with slopes and blind spots for shooting, grenadiers are very useful to deal with those machine gun fire points that are not covered and protected, as long as they hit, they will be hit; But for bunkers and bunkers, it is basically useless, and even the skin can't be knocked off.

This kind of grenadier is somewhat dangerous if used by the attacking side in positional warfare, just as in the morning in the Japanese attack stragglers, there are two groups of grenadier soldiers moving to the front of the position.

The three dogs all know the range and power of this thing, the killing radius of the grenadier grenade fragment can reach 8-10 meters, once the grenadier soldier breaks through to 150 meters, the grenadier grenade will fall in the trench.

With just a few, it will cause a lot of casualties, and even more troublesomely, it will disrupt the defensive fire, making it difficult to resist the enemy's final charge; Therefore, without waiting for them to approach the 200-meter area, everyone concentrated their fire and continued to attack the grenadiers.

In addition to the killing of one group, the ammunition of the other group was also wounded, so at the front of the position, once the grenadiers appeared or were exposed, they would be hit with a focused attack.

It was Xiucai who killed the devil grenadier soldier, I forgot to mention it, Xiucai is now the top shooter of the whole platoon, this guy is completely ingenious.

In doing the same thing, Xiucai may enter the state a little slower, but as long as he ponders one thing, slowly, his advantages will come out, and he will do it better than most people, and do it finely.

Note: In the Chinese and Japanese armies back then, there was no such a trendy term as a sniper, I don't know why there is such a name in the current film and television?

Maybe it's to cater to the trend, after all, the word "sniper" looks cool, energetic, and technical. Titles like what kind of special marksman, sharpshooter, are more earthy.

At that time, there were basically no sniper rifles in the national army, and many veterans of the Anti-Japanese War said when they were interviewed that they had never seen them, and they had never even heard of the terms "sniper rifle" and "sniper", only the terms of special shooters and sharpshooters.

"Snipers" did appear in World War II on the European battlefield, but snipers were a little different from shooters such as Ritter in the Anti-Japanese War.

Most of the snipers are free to move alone or in a group, while the special shooters are below the company, cannot move freely, and participate in the battle with everyone.

……

The reason why Xiucai was able to become a special shooter in the company and platoon was that in addition to his own work characteristics, there was also a convenient factor, that is, he had enough ammunition to supply the training needs when he was in the sergeant training class.

At that time, the national army's funds were pitiful, and some miscellaneous armies, most of the soldiers could only release empty guns for empty training in peacetime, and when they went to the battlefield, they had dozens of bullets, and some only had five rounds.

Because there are few fights in peacetime, as soon as the enemy enters the battle, before the enemy reaches the predetermined range, he will either be scattered indiscriminately and run out in one go, or he will not be able to hit the enemy in motion without the amount in advance.

The Japanese army's "Infantry Drill Code" stipulates that after recruits enlist in the army, they shall use no less than 150 rounds of rifles for live-fire training every month, and no less than 1,800 rounds per year.

Under various strict requirements and training conditions, the Japanese army did its best to produce excellent marksmen, and usually each squadron (about 180 people, equivalent to a reinforced company in China) could account for about one-third, almost more than 60 people.

British military commentators at that time gave the evaluation of the military quality of the Japanese army as a grade B in equipment, a grade in tactical level, and a grade in individual shooting technology.

In terms of military technology, training level, discipline, and hardship, Chinese soldiers are far inferior to Japanese soldiers. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Chinese army paid twice or even two or three times more than the enemy.

……

Xiucai has gained a little convenience in shooting training, and in the non-commissioned officer training class, there are naturally more bullets in live-fire training than in the grassroots units of the army.

So after a period of time, Xiucai slowly emerged, and was appreciated by the instructor, and specially added "Xiaozao", the bullet tube was enough, although "eating", so he trained a special shooter.

Sangou had heard of how powerful Xiucai was before, and today I finally saw it, this guy is simply what he means.

The devil's grenadier is already very careful and cunning, jumping according to the craters, constantly changing speed and direction, and running irregularly.

Ke Xiucai can not only often guess the next move of the devil, but also hit the advance position of the devil just right, and most of the hits are fatal positions.

Even if the first shot missed, Xiucai's second reaction was very fast, quickly dialing the bolt and triggering the fire, the action was amazingly fast, and the continued firing was almost catching up with the speed of the (shell gun) burst fire.

A grenadier had just been shot in the abdomen by Xiucai, and he quickly rolled to the side, trying to hide, but before he could get off the crater, Xiucai's second shot followed, and a shot shot into the deadly heart of the back, killing him instantly.

Seeing that the three dogs were dumbfounded, I'll go, this thing is not a human, it's a fairy.

What opened Sangou's eyes even more was that Xiucai could also avoid the suppression of the devil's machine gun fire, without taking his head, by distinguishing the sound, determining the position, and quickly firing a shot and killing a machine gunner.

Angry, the devil organized several good gunners to chase Xiucai to fight, as long as Xiucai came up, a few shots came, despite this, Xiucai constantly changed the shooting position and killed several masters of the devil one by one.
