1013. in the first place

Most things are practice makes perfect, and shooting is the same, except for those who are talented, as long as they have more training and actual combat, they can summarize and so on, and basically become a qualified shooter.

The soldiers of the seventh company and one platoon, now their shooting accuracy makes the Japanese stragglers go crazy, no matter what tactical evasion moves, they may be hit.

These gunshots sound sparse and weak, but in fact they are not, almost to the flesh of the gun, the gun is deadly, at a glance, you know that these Chinese soldiers are all experienced veteran shooters.

Wang Xinjia, the midshipman of the Seventh Company, is now stationed in a platoon, also holding a formal rifle, staring at the devil the size of a mosquito three or four hundred meters away, holding his breath, guessing the devil's next move.

Xiao Wang is very young, less than 20 years old, like Sangou, graduated from the Central Military Academy of the Army, he was a junior Sangou for two terms, and entered the school in the 26th year of the Republic of China (1937).

That is, as soon as Sangou graduated, Wang Xinjia had just entered the school, and had just been admitted to the Nanjing Central Military Academy, he was subjected to an air raid by Japanese aircraft.

At that time, the Nanjing Military Academy had just accepted a new batch of freshmen, and began to move to the school, tracing up the Yangtze River, living in Wuhan for a period of time, and then migrating to Sichuan when the Wuhan War was critical.

Finally, Wang Xinjia graduated in Chengdu this summer, and the headquarters of the Central Army Military Academy has been set in Chengdu since then, and he will not leave.

Originally, the military academy was supposed to be three years old, but now the army is in urgent need of a large number of officers, so the course is shortened to two years, so Xiao Wang graduated in two years.

In addition, the Central Army Military Academy (collectively referred to as the "Whampoa Military Academy") has also opened a number of branch schools in various places, counting nine branches from the first to the ninth

They are in Luoyang, Wuhan (later moved to Wugang, Hunan), Ruijin, Jiangxi, Guangzhou (later moved to Dushan, Guizhou), Kunming, Nanning, Xi'an, Junxian, Hubei, and Dihua (Urumqi), Xinjiang.

Strictly speaking, the Whampoa Military Academy had eight branches one after another before the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, including Chaozhou, Nanning, Changsha, Wuhan, Nanchang, Luoyang, Guangzhou, and Chengdu.

After the reunification of the whole country and the relocation of the capital to Nanjing, the headquarters of the Whampoa Military Academy was moved from Changzhou Island in Guangzhou to Nanjing, and Sangou and Wang Xinjia were both students enrolled in the Nanjing headquarters.

Every time the soldiers are replenished, Sangou hopes that the upper side can allocate a few more military academy students, no matter what the student soldiers are, but in the army at that time, this kind of military cadets who have knowledge and have studied military affairs, no matter which unit they go to, are fragrant buns.

Compared with most illiterate soldiers, military cadets are indeed very easy to master in terms of weapon performance, training, combat practice, and detachment command.

Although some military cadets are indeed greedy for life and afraid of death, this is human nature, who is not greedy for life and afraid of death? Slowly getting used to and getting used to the battlefield, the situation is much better.

Sangou had just been on the Songhu battlefield at that time, and it was the same, he was scared to death, and he was extremely uncomfortable, and now the same is true for these new cadet trainees.

But now that everyone has survived, and after slowly adapting to it, it will become natural, no one can talk and walk as soon as they are born, they all come step by step.

In fact, according to the probability of the number of people, the graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy are still much braver than ordinary soldiers, in some ordinary troops, ordinary soldiers are deserters, three or four out of ten, while Whampoa Military Academy students are deserters, not one-tenth.

Of course, in the troops of the 74th Division of the 51st Army, desertion is extremely rare, the troops are well treated, the quality of the soldiers is high, and they can often win battles, even in critical times, they are rarely abandoned.

When the Whampoa Military Academy was first founded, it did not have so much time to train military commanders, and most of it was for revolutionary ideological education.

At that time, the first batch graduated in half a year, and how much could I learn in half a year, just after the queue and march of the recruits ended, they were almost about to graduate.

However, these graduates are very powerful in the army, and it is not that the operational command is immediately powerful, but the key is the revolutionary ideology, and they will take the lead in fighting a war, so that they will lead a revolutionary army with a small number of people and a short army to defeat Chen Jiongmin's troops.

The same was true of the later Northern Expedition, whether in terms of weapons or numbers, the revolutionary army was at a disadvantage, but in the face of the warlords in the north, it almost swept all the way over, relying on the revolutionary spirit of taking the lead.

Therefore, the attrition rate of graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy in the army is very high, and no matter that war, the officers who suffered the most casualties were all graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy.

Since the outbreak of the Battle of Shanghai on August 13 the year before last, a large number of Whampoa students have died on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and now the participating units are in urgent need of junior officers.

However, the number of Whampoa students graduating each year is limited, only a few thousand, and many branch schools were added later, only exceeding tens of thousands.

However, this is still far from satisfying the needs of all units, and when they reach the regimental level, they will set up their own training classes for non-commissioned officers, and at the division level, they will set up training classes for officers, so that they can produce and sell their own products and be self-sufficient.

Like some armies that have gone through many major wars, the consumption of junior officers is huge, and most of the officers below the battalion commander are trained within their own army, or they are promoted from soldiers through their own strength and military merits.

People like Xiucai, Doglegs, Bamboo Poles, and Tienon are all like this, but they have all participated in the sergeant training class at the regiment headquarters, and they also participated in the officer training class at the division headquarters when they were training in Changsha some time ago.

At the level of battalion commander, it is rare for a grassroots officer to be promoted; after all, when he reaches this position, first, the requirements for operational command have increased, and he must use technologies such as telephone and telegraph communications, logistics and supply, and multi-service joint operations.

The second is that when it comes to this position, there are fewer requirements in terms of numbers, unlike company commanders, who need a large number of people to do it. Third, since the battalion commander is not like the company commander, he does not need to be on the front line of the battle for a long time, and the number of casualties is also less.

Finally, the key point is the internal government. For the sake of governance, the officers who have reached this position basically belong to a certain senior official and a certain line, and belong to the lineage or the candidate for the successor to be cultivated.

Therefore, it is difficult to rise to this position without a certain faction, system, etc., such as the troops influenced by the army bosses.

For example, in the Central Army, there are several major departments, such as the civil engineering department, the He department (He Yingqing), the Hu department (Hu Zhongnan), and the Tang department (Tang Enbo).

Zhang Lingwu, the commander of the 153rd Brigade, was originally in the Hu army, but later was imprisoned after the murder of his wife, and no one took him in, and Wang Yaozu, the commander of the 51st Division, asked for him, so he desperately repaid him and developed into the current brigade commander.
