Soon, after the Japanese were equipped with this machine, the Japanese soldiers, whose physique and strength attributes were a notch inferior to the Europeans, quickly discovered the problem, and the French, based on actual combat experience, demanded that the Japanese machine gun crew must have the ability to quickly transfer and continue to fire. What does this mean www.biquge.info pen? In addition to the parts of a machine gun, the general co-shooter also needs to carry an additional box of ammunition.

How much does this weigh? A Japanese soldier once described it this way. "We have a machine gun team with an additional 4 ammunition men, in addition to 5 machine gunners. Originally, in addition to the rifle in his hand, each ammunition player had to carry two ammunition boxes, each weighing about 12 kilograms, and we used 24 standard ammunition plates, each ammunition box can hold 12 ammunition plates, that is, 288 rounds. ”

"We began to think that these bullets were enough, after all, four ammunition men with thousands of bullets, and two secondary shooters with an additional bullet box, which is about 1,700 rounds of ammunition, in the Russo-Japanese War, such a reserve of ammunition can be used for at least half a day, but in Europe, we found that this is not enough at all."

"So, when the number of people has not changed much, we have increased the amount of bullets carried, each ammunition hand carries three boxes of bullets, and the person who complex carries machine gun parts also needs to carry an additional box of bullets, so our machine gunners, who weigh less than 70 kilograms, need to carry a tripod weighing more than 30 kilograms and an ammunition box weighing 13KG, as well as various oil cans, dry food, first aid kits and other items, and then exercise on the battlefield full of mud, which is simply hell!"

And then what? A RIFLEMAN WITH HIS OWN RIFLE, THREE AMMUNITION BOXES WEIGHING 40 KG, AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PIECES IS ALMOST EQUAL TO ...... OF HIS OWN WEIGHT. Take these things with you and weave between muddy ground, bomb craters, barbed wire, minefields. It was definitely quite a tragic thing for the Japanese, whose physical strength was inferior to that of the British and French armies.

Armed with basic infantry equipment, the French instructors began to teach the Japanese how to survive the hellish battlefield in the face of a devil-like enemy, with the help of an interpreter.

"Guys from the Far East, this time, we are going to face the most powerful army in the world, they are not comparable to the Russians you have fought, from now on, forget your former glory, forget your previous tactics, those are already outdated things, you are now schoolchildren, study hard! Otherwise, I can guarantee that half of you will definitely not see the sun the next day on the battlefield! "The person in charge of training Terauchi Toshiichi's unit was Lieutenant Pierre from Bordeaux, who had been promoted from private to lieutenant after five battles, and the reason for this was that the top bosses of his unit had been cleared .......

"When attacking at the squad and platoon level, it must revolve around your Shosha machine gun, well, although it only has a magazine of 20 rounds, although the rate of fire is not high, although it has one or another disadvantage, but this is the strongest firearm in your hands, you can only rely on him!"

With that, the lieutenant began to demonstrate to the Japanese how to use the Shosha machine gun in his hand. If you rank all the light machine guns of World War 1 in history, it is best to say that it is not easy to say, the British Lewis, the German MG15, and the Danish Madsen machine guns are all likely to win this honor, each with its own benefits. But if you choose the worst machine gun, the French Shosha machine gun is definitely more powerful than the others, ...... the strength of the others.

"Alright, dear colonel, now find me one of the strongest soldiers under your command, and let them follow me through the use of this machine gun!" As he spoke, Lieutenant Pierre skillfully picked up a Shocha light machine gun from the side, picked up a 20-round semicircular magazine and loaded it, pulling the bolt to let the bullet enter the chamber. Keep the light machine gun in your hand ready to fire. When a Japanese soldier stepped forward to pick up another shosha submachine gun, Lieutenant Pierre began to explain.

"There are two ways to fire this machine gun, one is semi-automatic, the other is fully automatic, if the former, please turn the fire selector switch on the side of the gun to the C position, if it is automatic, then please dial to the M position."

"Remember, in battle, you should never expect to be able to rush through the no-man's land between the battlefields in one breath and then engage in a knife duel with the bayonet in your hand, it is impossible, the German machine guns can fire 12 to 15 rounds in a second! They use drums or chains, and they can quickly change the barrels, they can be armed with 12 to 16 machine guns in a company, and even if the two sides are only 150 meters apart, you will never be able to stab the opponent in the chest with a bayonet in your hand, which is a lesson learned with countless blood. And all you can do is rely on the light machine gun in your hand to suppress the opponent! ”

As a veteran, Pierre was quite responsible. However, as an interpreter sent by the headquarters, the interpreter thought that the pre-war propaganda of German firepower was a blow to the morale of the Japanese army, so after hesitation, he decided to revise Pierre's words. So, it became: "The Germans are also very heavy with machine gun fire, so you have to suppress your opponents in the middle of the march to reduce unnecessary casualties." ”

For the editor's quick and sharp translation, neither Pierre nor the Japanese felt the cattleness. After all, neither side is focused on those numbers and adjectives. Now, Pierre needed to show the Japanese how to properly use the machine gun in the marching design.

"Because of the poor design, the center of gravity of this machine gun is relatively forward, and it will be very uncomfortable to shoot on the move, of course, this is not the most deadly, the most problematic thing is that because this gun is a long recoil design, if in the design process, the gun cannot be held steadily, and there is follow-up, then it may make the machine gun unable to fire automatically. So, you must remember how to hold this machine gun! At the critical moment, the French lieutenant exclaimed.

(Well, the Shosha machine gun is definitely among the saddest light machine guns because it can't fire automatically because of the bad way of holding the gun.) ）

"Remember, be sure to clamp the butt of your rifle with your right elbow and body, not against it! At the same time, the left hand holds the grip behind the magazine. Be sure to be steady when shooting. And never try to hold the front of the magazine, as you may burn your hand after a quick shot of a few magazines. ”
