Chapter 354: Company-level Tactical Drill (1)
On the "busy" training ground of the teaching brigade, half a month after the platoon tactical drill, the whole brigade gathered together again; the last time they gathered here was because of the squad and platoon tactical drills, and this time it was to conduct a company-level tactical exercise.
Compared with the squad platoon, the company's tactical drill was larger in scale and with a larger number of people, and the training ground was completely vacated, and the drill was carried out in the same way as before, by setting up an imaginary enemy and using an attack exercise.
The company-level exercise was prepared to be carried out under the condition of live ammunition, and the nine heavy machine guns of the heavy fire squadron were lined up in a row, and the muzzles of the black holes were closely aimed at the middle of the training ground in a way that did not conform to the tactical regulations.
In the initial stage of the attack, the heavy firepower company will use live ammunition to create a battlefield environment and stop firing after the troops have launched an attack.
Qiu Wei's first squadron was the first to launch the exercise, and the squadron leader had to personally participate in the command of the battle, so only Zhang Wei was alone in observing and judging.
The 1st Squadron constructed a complete starting position, trenches, communication ditches, all of which were well constructed, and more than 100 heavily armed 1st Squadron soldiers hid in the trenches.
The hypothetical enemy position on the opposite side was also very complete, and was set up according to two Japanese infantry squads reinforced with heavy machine guns, and under normal circumstances, one Japanese squad could completely deal with or even defeat a national infantry company.
In the field, Zhang Wei believed that an infantry squadron should have at least the ability to fight against two Japanese squads.
Looking at the attack path again, it could not be a bare piece of land, from the starting position of the first squadron to the front of the Japanese position, these hundreds of meters were not given in vain, first there was a blocking line composed of barbed wire and deer barricades, and the rear was a foxhole.
The outer edge of the impact path is a layer of new earth, which encloses the attack path and forms a bulge.
The soil had been clearly dug up, and it was higher than the flat ground, and buried here was the homemade weapon of the Teaching Brigade, the blasting canister made by He Jinhai's engineer platoon.
After continuous production, the teaching brigade has stored no less than 300 large and small blasting cylinders, and He Jinhai's engineer platoon, in addition to studying and manufacturing blasting cylinders, is also studying how to use them.
No, it comes in handy now, the real battlefield environment requires not only heavy machine-gun shells of a heavy fire squadron, but also a violent explosion, this explosion, a mortar platoon with heavy fire can be imitated.
But Zhang Wei didn't dare to do it, the mortar shell exploded quite violently, but if it was missed......
After all, this is training, and if you blow up a shell, you will kill half a platoon.
The advantage of the blasting barrel is that it is easy to control, and the engineer platoon is familiar with the killing and blasting range of the blasting cylinder, and He Jinhai has made arrangements in advance to ensure that the danger of the explosion is minimized, and it can create a battlefield atmosphere.
Deer barricades and obstacles were followed by more than 100 meters of open ground until the Japanese positions were set.
A squadron of soldiers in the departure position crouched in the trenches, waiting for the signal to start the exercise.
Due to the large scale of the exercise and the distance of the area, Zhang Wei held a telescope to observe the first squadron in front.
Before this exercise, Zhang Wei issued an order, and the three squadrons took turns to attack the exercise, in order to arouse the soldiers' desire to win and enthusiasm, whichever squadron fought well would be rewarded, and the soldiers who performed well in each squadron would also be rewarded and rewarded.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Wei put down the binoculars and said to the herald beside him.
The three heralds were armed with military flare guns made at the Eleventh Arsenal.
The three of them pulled the trigger, and after three gunshots, three signal flares flew into the sky, dragging their long tails and cutting a beautiful smoke line in the sky.
The exercise officially began.
Qiu Wei, who was in the trenches, did not attack immediately, the signal flares in the sky were almost ignored by him, and experienced commanders understood that calmness was the first priority.
After observing the enemy's situation, Qiu Wei decided to fight steadily, according to the usual way of fighting, one infantry squadron, three infantry platoons under it, Qiu Wei adopted the most prudent method.
"At the beginning of the attack, the first platoon and the second platoon launched a wide front in the Japanese position, launching an attack, the first platoon was the first main attack platoon, which served as the main task, and the third platoon, the squadron belonged to the grenadier squad to follow up in the rear of the first and second platoons to cover the actions of the attacking troops!" Qiu Wei slowly said the order to attack.
"Get on the bayonet!"
"Check the bullets!"
After Qiu Wei gave the order to start the attack, a series of orders sounded in the starting position of the first squadron, and the platoon commanders of each platoon issued an attack order to the squad leader, who then orally conveyed it to the soldiers in turn.
Everyone's guns were checked several times during the drill, and most of them were still equipped with live ammunition in their hands.
"Rush!" The platoon commander of the first squadron first jumped out of the trench, and then the soldiers of the entire first squadron moved, rushed out of the trench, and attacked.
The whole squadron, including Qiu Wei, rushed out.
In Zhang Wei's telescope, the battle formation of the first squadron seen is an inverted triangle, Zhang Wei is very familiar with it, this style of play is very common, and it is also a good way to play under the current establishment.
The first squadron immediately carried out the deployment of troops after breaking out of the trenches, and at a distance of less than 100 meters, all the troops were deployed, and the two infantry platoons on the first line were in the form of stragglers, and they would not be changed into stragglers until they came into close contact with the Japanese positions.
"Rushed over and took the barbed wire."
Soon, the attacking squadron was equipped with the first line of defense, a blocking line consisting of a large number of barbed wire and deer barricades.
The soldiers of the first squadron are very skillful, probably because the combat effectiveness of Qiu Wei's first company was the strongest during the preparation camp period, and the old backbone of the first company played a very good role.
The soldiers took out the barbed wire and began to cut the barbed wire, which looked like a large pair of scissors, and tore several large holes in the barbed wire after a few cuts.
Because it was an exercise, this part was limited, and the fastest solution in the real battlefield was artillery fire and explosive fire.
"It's been over!"
In less than a minute, bayonets and barrier-breaking pliers tore more than four large holes in the barbed wire blocking line, and the platoon commander and veterans of the 1st squadron seized the opportunity to organize the soldiers to pass through.
As soon as the dozen or so people in the lead passed through the open opening, many of the first squadron had heard a whistling sound in their ears.
"Da Da Da"
The nine heavy machine guns next to Li Shaoyan, the leader of the heavy fire squadron, opened fire at the same time in the form of point fire; these days, the heavy fire squadron has been planning to go beyond shooting, and at the same time practicing various shooting methods of machine guns.
When the first squadron was dealing with the barbed wire, the heavy fire squadron was keeping an eye on it, and Zhang Wei's setting, after the barbed wire was machine gun fire, which was also used by the Japanese troops.
"Creeping, it's a fucking real bullet!"
The soldiers of the first squadron realized the machine-gun fire and immediately fell to the ground, and the original climbing "barbed wire hole" became a "barbed wire hole" drilled. ”
The soldiers of the 1st Squadron were forced to lie down and advance under the heavy machine gun fire under Li Shaoyan, and the nine heavy machine guns formed an almost identical level of fire.
