Chapter 60: Training

QQ group number: 530609180, welcome to the ** stream, discuss, and put forward opinions!

**************

As expected, when Qin Tian returned to the barracks two days later, there were only 81 people still in the warehouse...... This was better than Qin Tian's estimate, and Qin Tian was originally worried that he would not be able to gather the 72 people who operated 12 machine guns.

However, it doesn't seem to make a difference, a considerable part of the 81 people are emaciated, and some will definitely be eliminated after a few rounds of training.

Luckily, in the space of two days, the captain recruited a group of people from the tribe to make up 150 of them.

"These people haven't touched khat!" The captain said to Qin Tian: "But they don't have any combat experience, do they meet your requirements?" ”

"Of course!" Qin Tian replied.

Even if these people look weak and can't help it, it's better than addicts.

"Give them better food and accommodation!" Qin Tian said: "There is more strict supervision, as long as it is in the troops I train, you must not touch khatica!" ”

"Of course!" The captain replied.

The captain knew the gravity of the matter...... In fact, it's not that it's serious, but the unit trained by Qin Tian is a "high-consumption" unit, double the commission plus better food and accommodation, all of which require money, plus 10,000 US dollars a anti-aircraft machine gun and Qin Tian's commission, which is a considerable amount to be distributed to everyone.

If a soldier is eliminated in the middle of training because he is stained with khat, it is a big loss for them.

So the captain acted immediately, and transformed the warehouse into a dormitory independent of other military camps, still surrounded by barbed wire and isolated from the outside world, and the interior was separated by wooden boards to separate spacious and unified dormitories, and then an independent cooking class was assigned, and Qin Tian's request was completed.

At this time, Qin Tiancai started training.

The training is mainly divided into three aspects:

The most important thing is physical fitness...... For chronically malnourished Somali soldiers, this is what they lack most, and the ability to operate an anti-aircraft machine gun to disassemble and deploy it quickly is a test of physical fitness.

So the five-kilometer armed cross-country, push-ups, and 100-meter run were put on the table.

Of course, this has to be combined with food, that is, nutrition to keep up.

The second aspect is collaborative training.

This is also a weakness for African soldiers, who are accustomed to working in their own way, and six men operating a machine gun requires that they must cooperate with each other.

In desperation, Qin Tian could only let them work in groups of six, each of them prescribed what to do, and then practiced over and over again, until they knew what they were going to do with their eyes closed.

There are obvious flaws in doing so...... This is not flexible, for example, if a shooter is killed by an enemy, he needs to be replaced by a person who is not trained to do the job.

However, Qin Tian did not have high requirements for this army, and it was enough to be able to operate the machine gun normally and defeat the enemy, so he didn't think about it so much.

Finally, there is tactical training.

This training must be carried out by the officers, because it is the officers who command the battles on the battlefield, and if the officers blindly command, no matter how well they train, it will be in vain.

The officer who cooperated with Qin Tian was Captain Mahaya.

"The advantages of the SG18 machine gun are its lightness and range!" Qin Tian said to the captain: "So we must give full play to these two advantages on the battlefield!" ”

"If both sides are facing each other on the battlefield with vehicle-mounted machine guns, then these two advantages seem to be incompatible!" The captain said: "On the contrary, the prototype machine gun is more advantageous!" ”

The Captain's words sounded correct, because the price of a new machine gun could buy three prototype machine guns, and if you were to fight in close quarters on the battlefield, it is conceivable that one machine gun would not be the opponent of the enemy's three machine guns.

"No!" Qin Tian replied: "It depends on how we fight!" ”

"It seems to be the same no matter how you fight!" "The enemy's three machine guns will fire much more bullets than we do," said the captain, "and it is impossible for us to fire at three enemy targets at the same time!" ”

"What if we were driving in the same direction?" Qin Tian asked.

"Traveling in the same direction?" The captain was a little confused.

Qin Tian picked up a branch casually and explained while drawing: "This is the enemy, this is our ...... Originally, they were walking in the opposite direction, but when they spotted the enemy, they immediately turned around and drove away from the enemy. Since both friend and foe are pickups, there is not much difference in speed between the two. That is, in principle, the enemy will never catch up with us and will keep a certain distance! ”

The captain couldn't help but say "oh": "This distance is best about a thousand meters, so that we can give full play to the advantages of our army's machine guns with long range and high accuracy!" ”

"Yes!" QIN TIAN REPLIED: "AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE OUR MACHINE GUN IS LIGHT, WE CAN ALSO ADD A REAR-FACING STEEL PLATE IN THE REAR COMPARTMENT, WHICH DOES NOT NEED TO BE TOO THICK, ONLY 15MM ......"

"Great!" The captain glared at Qin Tian: "In this way, it will be difficult for them to pose a threat to us, but we can easily destroy them!" ”

THE CAPTAIN WAS RIGHT, HE HAD BEEN USING THE PROTOTYPE MACHINE GUN FOR MANY YEARS, AND KNEW THAT A 12.7MM MACHINE GUN BULLET COULD ONLY PENETRATE A 15MM STEEL PLATE AT A DISTANCE OF 500 METERS.

Therefore, if, as Qin Tian said, add steel plates to the rear compartment and use the tactic of walking backwards...... Machine gun bullets from the enemy will be ignored unless they hit the tires or hit the shooter directly.

On the other hand, since the enemy's pickup truck is facing you, its weakness is completely exposed to the muzzle of your own machine guns. For example, the engine mounted on the front of a pickup truck, and the one-hit windshield and the driver behind it, the machine gun shooter, and so on.

"The enemy can't even fight back!" "No matter how many cars are following us," said the captain, "we can destroy them one after the other!" ”

"It's just a use of range!" Qin Tian continued to draw on the ground as he spoke: "We have already said something about lightness, such as using small hills, in addition to using grass, forests, stone piles, etc., we can quickly lift down the machine gun in these places to complete the concealed deployment when leaving the enemy's line of sight, while the car continues to drive, when the enemy catches up from behind......"

"They're in our ambush!" The captain replied.

"Yes!" Qin Tian said: "At this time, it is to kill and injure the enemy at close range, I believe that your soldiers can kill the target!" ”

"Of course!" The captain replied: "At that time, the distance was probably only one or two hundred meters or even tens of meters, and unless they shot into the sky, the enemy would be smashed in the first place!" ”

Qin Tian just smiled and didn't answer.

In fact, if these soldiers given to Qin Tian by the captain were sent to the battlefield like this without training, it was really possible to shoot bullets into the sky.
