Chapter 722: Li Ziyuan's plan
Whether it is a standard * or * is very difficult to do, of course Li Ziyuan will not be willing to waste it so much. But this kind of production level is very low*, and the military sub-division repair institute can manufacture a large number of products by itself, basically as much as you want. It was an easy thing to meet Li Ziyuan's needs to create fireworks and explosions.
In order to create enough sound effects and fireworks, Li Ziyuan also specially explained that he wanted to increase the amount when he was rushing to make it. I specially told that these so-called * were made to be as big as the rolling thunder that the Jin Suijun had created. No matter how much he's loaded*, how much real lethality he has, if he's at least sound-like like to a cannonball.
However, due to the fact that the * itself is not very powerful, especially if it is not for combat use, most of the * added to it are of poor quality and cannot be used on the battlefield. Therefore, these dozen extra-large *, at best, are just a sound, and the lethality is dispensable.
This is what Li Ziyuan used to replace the explosion of artillery shells, to give shock education to these training personnel, so as to prevent these people from having a sense of fear of artillery shells, rather than really using them to kill and injure people. In the jargon of the film industry, it was used to make sound and smoke special effects.
However, Li Ziyuan used a heavy machine gun in one breath to shoot out the 1,500 rounds of 79 bullets. But a real bullet is definitely fatal. For this training, Li Ziyuan can be said to have made a bloody investment. Fifteen hundred rounds of ammunition, said to take it out, take it out. The angry military sub-division supply minister stood in the courtyard of the headquarters and scolded his mother.
At this time, the distinction between upper and lower levels was far less strict than that of later distinctions. The subordinates not only dare to go to the pockets of the superiors to touch the cigarettes, rub the bullets of the superiors, and eavesdrop on the room when the superiors get married. Some cadres with old qualifications came up to scold their superiors for a while.
This supply minister of the Ludong Army Division joined the Red Army in 28. When Li Ziyuan joined the Red Army, he was the chief of the division's supply department, and he has been the director of the supply department since the formation of the Ludong Army Division. Because of the old qualifications, the old age, and the elder, he is called the three elders.
The long and arduous life of the war, especially the experience of begging for nearly 100 days to return to northern Shaanxi after the defeat of the Western Route Army, made the 40-year-old supply minister look like he was in his 50s. In the entire Ludong Military Division, his qualifications are the deepest. Not to mention scolding Li Ziyuan's mother, even scolding Li Ziyuan's ancestors for eighteen generations, Li Ziyuan also has to bear it.
Li Ziyuan, who was called a loser by the three old supply ministers of the sub-district, took out so many bullets for the militia to train this time, and if he was replaced by someone else, he would definitely not be willing to do it. You must know that the general shooting training of the main force is five bullets per person.
Even in the most difficult times, these five bullets were not enough. Many times when a recruit arrives in the army to shoot, it is quite good to experience the feeling of the gun. As for the rest, you can only experience it yourself on the battlefield. In order to ensure that there are bullets available on the battlefield, they can only compress the ammunition of the recruits who shoot live ammunition.
This time, in order to reflect the actual combat effect, more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition were fired in one go. Coupled with the previous militia training, the consumption of fifteen rounds of ammunition per person was enough to make the supply minister of the sub-district feel distressed for a long time. Fortunately, these bullet casings are collected and can be taken to the military region to be exchanged for reloading bullets.
Although the performance is somewhat inferior, it can only be used for rifles and 30-section heavy machine guns, and light machine guns, especially Czech ones, are absolutely unusable. But the performance of this reloading bullet is poor, and it is much better than nothing. However, after collecting the bullet casings, the distressed old qualified minister still scolded Li Ziyuan for his ruined behavior.
After the completion of this shocking education, the work of this round of militia training can be regarded as complete. Although the cost was somewhat large, after the completion of the training, the military quality and technical and tactical level of the militia of the entire Ludong Army sub-district have been greatly improved. At least on the surface, it already looks like it's there.
By the time the training camp was over, when these militia cadres and backbone cadres went home carrying the food distributed by their superiors, they couldn't even straighten their waists. Seeing that these militia backbones were finally relieved, the political commissar of the sub-district looked at Li Ziyuan, who was expressionless, and said, "You are pushing them so hard, isn't it a little too harsh?" ”
"Rice has to be eaten in one bite, and no one can expect to eat a fat man in one go. Lao Li, your ideas and original intentions are good, but I'm afraid it's too much. I think this matter will come little by little. After all, they are not soldiers of the army, and they are too tight, and I am afraid that something will go wrong. ”
Regarding the words of this scholar who graduated from the university, although his cultural and political level is extremely high, but there are still some scholarly angry political commissars, Li Ziyuan smiled and said: "Political commissar, jade is not sharpened, and the sword is sharpened." If we don't push it, how can we hand over a squad, a platoon, or even a company of fighters to them in the future? ”
"The year has passed, and by this year's war, we Chinese have been fighting for a full eight years. In the past eight years, because the quality of some grassroots commanders in the army is not high, we have not made up our minds, and we have not been blind staff officers who should not have served staff, so how much blood have we shed in vain? ”
"It's better on our side, at least we know how to learn a lesson and be able to correct it in a short time. Chongqing, for its part, has paid an even greater price in this regard. However, they have the Central Military Academy, which can continuously replenish qualified officers. But our troops are basically promoted from one level to another. ”
"I don't have a lot of experience in actual combat. But if you want to talk about the rest, not to mention the comparison with the Japanese army, even compared with the Central Army over there, there is a lot of difference. How many of the grassroots commanders can read the map, and how many can know what the horizontal line is? Compass, how many people will look at it? ”
"Even many platoon commanders gave him a telescope and didn't know what to look at except for the Western landscape. Now we are engaged in movement warfare plus guerrilla warfare, and we can cope with it with some experience, but what will we do when we come to fight in large corps? The devil calls us dirt eight roads, and the other side calls us mud legs, but we can't call ourselves dirt. ”
"Sooner or later, we are all going to go out of the mountains and go to the whole country. For us, the operation of large corps will eventually be an unavoidable issue. It is true that the operation of a large corps is more of a test of the ability and level of senior commanders. However, a unit is not only composed of a single commander, but also countless squads, platoons, and companies. ”
"It's like a machine in a big factory, it's made up of countless screws. If the screw is not suitable, it will affect the operation of the machine. Soldiers are the courage of generals and the soul of soldiers. The quality of the people leading the troops is not up to standard, how can this unit have real combat effectiveness? Old chief, the battlefield is not just about being brave and not shooting to death. ”
"Fighting a war is all about experience, but sometimes experience is not always right. Many of our company platoon commanders do not even know how to deploy machine guns, and they cannot understand the focus of fire deployment. When you go to the battlefield, you know how to fight in a crowded place. These people may serve as squad leaders or even platoon leaders in the near future, so how can they afford this burden if they don't hone their skills well? ”
"It's just the two of us here today, you are my old chief, and I can tell the truth about some things. How many of our soldiers have fallen not where they are needed, but on the blind command of some of our cadres. Our troops are indeed sweeping the sands in big waves, constantly digging out real gold. But the price of this gold rush should not come at the cost of the lives of the soldiers. ”
"Now we are facing the Japanese, who are already in decline, and what to do with a stronger opponent in the future. As a soldier, whether it is political or military, we must grasp both hands and be firm with both hands. Politically qualified, militarily competent, and excellent work style, these 12 words are my requirements for the troops. ”
"This time I performed such a major operation on the main force and the local forces, as well as on the militia. To put it bluntly, it is better to have a red brick than a pile of rotten tiles. It is necessary to let every unit that comes out of our Ludong Military Sub-district not only be able to fight a tough battle, but also win a battle. Even if it is a local armed force, it must be able to pull out at any time and be able to fight at any time. ”
"We should consider the selection and appointment of cadres, especially military cadres, in more detail. The quality of some battalion and company cadres is not high, so how can you train a basic squad and platoon commander to be qualified? Promotion in the line of fire, that is a way that there is no way on the battlefield. But can the people who are promoted meet the job standards? ”
"But I think, after the cadres who have been promoted in the line of fire, should they have some on-the-job training when they are resting? There are some things that you can't learn just by looking at them. In particular, the casualties of the company and platoon cadres are large, and the frequency of replacement is quite high, and even after a big battle, the company and platoon cadres may be replaced with a few stubbles. ”
"So, after I arrived at the military division, I always had a consideration. It is necessary to raise the combat effectiveness and overall quality of the local armed forces at a relatively large level. Even if it's not as good as the main force, it's not too bad. For cadres at all levels, it is necessary to adopt a rotational training system, and as long as the company and platoon commanders who are in advance are not fighting, they will all be gathered in the sub-district teaching teams for unified training. ”
"The advance squad leaders are all advanced to the teaching teams of each regiment and trained for half a month to a month. The regiment-level teaching team is all trained by veteran personnel who have served as squad leaders for more than one year. This includes not only the squad leader, but also the deputy squad leader and the backbone fighters. In a word, the soldiers are trained according to the squad leader, the squad leader is trained according to the platoon leader, and so on. ”
"At the same time, a group of key personnel from the militia and veterans will be transferred to conduct training similar to this period. After the troops are dismounted, they can quickly form combat effectiveness. In a word, the troops of our Ludong Army Division, whether they are the main force or the local armed forces, must be able to be used by the squad leader as a platoon commander and the platoon commander as a company commander. ”
"My next step was to readjust the divisional team. Wang Jun, a top student of the Central Military Academy, was the main student, and the best staff officers and officers were selected from the sub-divisions to carry out rotational training for the company and platoon commanders of various units. The first thing to do is to teach them to learn to recognize maps, as well as to recognize the compass, and the deployment of machine gun and mortar fire is also important. ”
Li Ziyuan's voice fell, but the political commissar smiled and said: "I see that your kid is not ambitious, and this Ludong Military Division is about to be unable to accommodate you." Okay, you are the military commander, and you are responsible for this war and training. But you kid should also take it easy, don't toss these guys too hard. Again, it's too much. ”
