But the problem is that our officers put too much emphasis on platoon shooting training and neglected the training of individual qualities.www.biquge.info He paused, "We are not the old warlords of the eighteenth century, we just grabbed hundreds of civilians and came over to practice and taught them to reload and fire, and then drove people to the front line to hold fire, and we can see from this battle that these recruits do not lack the courage to face war, and most of them do not know how to fight." Moreover, the battles in the port of Vostochny were fought in rather narrow streets and squares, and the enemy's numerical superiority even exceeded our firepower output in some cases, and in the end we had to fight with the enemy with bayonets. Speaking of fighting bayonets, for thousands of years, human wars have been wielding broadswords and spears to cut each other, since the appearance of hot weapons, the two sides have begun to pay attention to their long-range killing effect, but ignore the fighting skills of cold weapons. In this regard, the Marine Corps is far better than our Army. ”

His eyes swept over the group of army officers sitting below, except for Zeng Zhigang, the commander of the second company and the third platoon, who was still lying in the hospital, all the other officers were on the scene, and there were quite a few veteran officers with bandages on their shoulders or gauze wrapped around their heads.

"During the Warring States period of Japan, both sides focused on cold weapon fighting, and after the Meiji Restoration, due to the introduction of a large number of Western firearms, they gradually abandoned the samurai spirit, so they focused on weapon shooting training and gradually began to ignore bayonet melee training. It wasn't until the Russo-Japanese War during the Russo-Japanese War that when he was fighting with Maozi in the Northeast, he found that as long as Maozi rushed over with a bayonet, the Japanese army would scatter, so he began to pay attention to bayonet combat training again. Xiao Mingwei added on the side, "During World War II, the Japanese training for bayonet fighting was simply in a state of frenzy, but they suffered heavy losses under the powerful firepower of the American army. ”

Li Jieqi nodded, "Coincidentally, our Great Qing Kingdom is also similar, since the Qing army entered the customs, they have received all the firearms of the Ming army, although because the Manchu Qing Dynasty is still addicted to winning the world on horseback, but its firearms still have a certain development." During the Opium War, the size of the Qing army was actually quite terrifying, and the problem was that the British discovered the absolute weakness of the Qing army, that is, the fear of bayonet charge. They only need to rush up with the firearms of the Qing army, and the brown bass used by the British army in that era - oh, that is, the quality of our Senate rifle is very scummy, and even in terms of range accuracy and lethality, it may be slightly inferior to the Qing army's bird guns or something, they charge forward directly, and at most more than ten people are knocked over on the road, they can quickly rush in front of the Qing army, and then the Qing army will scatter. ”

"So you mean the weapon theory is useless?" An officer asked a question below.

"The theory of weapon victory is really not very useful," Xiao Mingwei nodded and said, "Weapons always need people to operate, if people don't have the belief to fight, then no matter how good the weapon is, it's scum, this ......" He hesitated for a moment, "The collapse of the brick factory in the first anti-encirclement battle can be seen." ”

The officers below suddenly stopped squeaking, and it was true, at that time, dozens of veterans with automatic and semi-automatic rifles actually broke up under the charge of the cold-armed army with the support of machine guns.

"So that means we're going to continue our martial arts and assassination training?" Liu Lihua below raised his hand and asked.

"Yes, it's a lot of training." Li Jieqi said, "In this battle for the defense of Vostochny Port, we counted the corpses of both sides and found that a large number of Meednor people were indeed killed by firearms, but these lightly armed enemies moved quite quickly in street fighting, although the rifles we used were fixed loads, and under normal circumstances, they could achieve a rate of fire of 15 to 20 rounds per minute. However, according to the soldiers' reports, these enemies often rushed to the bayonet combat distance in more than ten seconds, and they did not even have time to load their bayonets before they began a white-knuckle battle with the enemy. ”

"Besides, the enemy also transported artillery to land, and when we cleaned the battlefield, we found three guns, fortunately it was a naval gun, and the small wheels used moved very slowly on the ground and were inefficient, and the loading speed was also very slow, but it still caused us a lot of casualties, and even one squad was almost all killed under the shotgun strike."

"By the way, how is Zeng Zhigang's situation?" Xiao Mingwei suddenly remembered this and hurriedly asked.

"It's okay," Liu Lihua hurriedly replied, "I just went to see him this morning, although he was wrapped like a zongzi, but his spirit was quite good, and he heard Yongkang say that it was nothing serious." The accuracy and lethality of these Mederor muskets are very scummy, and if they don't hurt their muscles and bones, they just lose a bit of blood. ”

"You can organize a militia to give him a blood transfusion...... someone next to him laughed.

"He refused," Liu Lihua also laughed, "he was afraid that there would be a blood-borne disease." ”

"Also, hepatitis schistosoma or something can run around the bloodstream, and if you get infected, it will be a big trouble." Zhao Yong nodded, "Our casualties in this battle are too great, more than 300 people plus hundreds of militiamen, they have an advantage in defense, and the losses are so heavy, the soldiers are beginning to be afraid of war." ”

"This is not a good sign," Li Jieqi nodded, and suddenly he looked at Liu Lihua, "Didn't you say that you were going to have an army funeral?" Let's focus on the key points, and strive to rehearse in the next few days, so that the natives can see how we treat the martyrs, and there are also the wounded, so we can't let them have worries. ”

"I have already submitted these plans to the Executive Committee," Liu Lihua replied, "The opinion of the Executive Committee is that the city should be cleared of the Maydeno people who may have escaped in the next few days, and there is no time, so we will probably wait until the New Year to hold a solemn funeral, and finally we will visit the wounded and send some condolences or something during the New Year." ”

"Oh, then this is the matter of the Executive Committee, let's leave that one alone, let's discuss how to carry out troop training in the next step." Xiao Mingwei said. "Although our weapons have the advantage of firing speed and accuracy, after all, it is a single-shot rifle, and we must maintain a certain density of fire to gain an advantage, otherwise the enemy will definitely be able to crush us as long as they pile people inside. So I think the most important thing is to have enough weapons to deter or mass-kill the enemy. ”

"Didn't you say that the weapon theory is useless?" Someone asked again.

"Weapons are not critical but they are also critical, just like the invention of the Gatling gun, one machine gun can withstand the fire of twenty infantrymen, which is quite effective in the face of a large attack. It is necessary to urge the military industry to develop better weapons, such as mortars, machine guns, and shotguns. Xiao Mingwei explained.

Li Zhen below hurriedly raised his hand to speak, "I think what is urgently needed now is howitzers, our so-called flying thunder guns are pure scum, the range is only less than 400 meters, and the trajectory is also a bit immeasurable, and there are even several cases where the shells deviate from the aiming point by more than 100 meters." In the defensive battle, our artillery platoon fired at the enemy who was landing, but the effect was not good, many shells missed or missed, and then we fired at the group enemy on the march, and the effect was also very poor, almost impossible. I feel that the Flying Thunder Cannon is to deal with the city wall or something, or a large number of enemies in the cluster charge, and it is really useless to use it for combat at the moment, I am afraid every time I fire, for fear of blowing up our own people, but fortunately this did not happen. ”

Li Jieqi nodded, "I think the machine gun is also very important, and in the final persuasion to surrender, the machine gun of the Marine Corps had a terrible effect, and even the building where they were hiding was destroyed." ”

"Yes, the role of machine guns in street battles is quite large, and it can almost be said that it is impossible to open a single man." Someone below chimed in.

"Not necessarily." Li Zhen spoke again, "There is a problem with artillery and machine guns, that is, heat dissipation, if the barrel or barrel is red, it must not be fired, otherwise there will be a danger of exploding, causing casualties." In this defense battle, after firing twenty shells from the three flying thunder cannons, they had to stop firing and wait for the cooldown, and when the temperature was enough to be refired, the battle was over, which made people quite speechless. Moreover, I heard from the veterans of the navy that during the attack on the fleet, the barrel of the ship-based machine gun also overheated and could not fire. I think that if you want to be a husband and a husband, you have to solve the problem of heat dissipation first. ”

"Let's record this problem and submit it to Lin Shenhe for processing, I'll take a look," Li Jieqi flipped through the record book, "howitzers, mortars, infantry machine guns, shotguns, heat dissipation problems, that's it, right?" ”

There was no one down there, and he said to himself, "That's the problem." He closed the notebook, opened the notebook in front of him and flipped through two pages, "Then let's talk about the problem of white-knuckle warfare." ”

"At the beginning of this battle, we used firearms to kill and wound the enemy from a long distance, but in the battle on the five-star square, the opponent used shotguns to strafe, which caused a gap in our army's defensive line, which caused the enemy to rush up and cause a white-knuckle battle. Here I have to say that our rifles and bayonets have increased our combat effectiveness, so that the enemy's short knives and wooden spears have not been able to exert their power. Moreover, the spears used by the militia were so effective that in the later stages of the battle, the spear-wielding militia were chasing the enemy's sailors all over the streets, while our soldiers had to rigidly follow the orders of the officers to continue to return to their original positions. ”

"In view of this embarrassing situation, I suggest that we start training officers from January, some of our officers are veterans, some are military enthusiasts, and there are a lot of military theories, but on the battlefield there is no talk on paper, if someone dies, there is no chance to read the file and come back. So everyone has to participate in the training, it's mandatory, and no one should miss class! Xiao Mingwei paused, "Also, you can only take up your post after passing the assessment, and if you fail, go back to the civil department." ”
