290 recruits with new weapons
Just when Wittmann was assessing the shooting, just when Li Le decided to watch tomorrow's exercise, something else was happening in another corner of Germany. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Sir, am I really going to jump like this?" At the end of the staircase, several meters high, is a door frame without a door panel.
On the other side of the door frame, there was no road under their feet - the recruits who had walked up to this high platform had to jump down here and fall to the ground in a stretched position.
The force of the impact would cause people to fall, and the soldiers would immediately get up from the ground and run back into the queue in the distance.
"If you don't jump, I'll kick you down!" Lyman, with an impatient expression on his face, yelled viciously at the recruits he had trained.
After returning from Malta, he was promoted to the rank of paratrooper squad leader. It is a pity that this promotion is not promoted on the spot, but to a new unit.
The difference is obvious, the squad leaders who are promoted on the spot are all veterans who have jumped parachutes. And when he goes to the new unit, he has to train his men himself.
Now Lehmann is using a simulated high platform to train soldiers to jump out of the plane in the basic movements -- stretching their bodies and jumping out of the cabin of the plane naturally......
Of course, the current cabin is just a simulated environment, and the only place that resembles an airport is the door with only a door frame.
"But, that looks a bit tall, sir!" The recruit said to Lyman with some embarrassment.
"Jump, idiot!" Lyman stepped forward from the sidelines, looking ready to kick the recruit in the ass.
The other party obviously realized that if this kick was really kicked by Lyman, his ass would definitely not be very comfortable, so he jumped out of the doorless door frame a few tenths of a second before Lyman moved.
The body fell rapidly, the feet hit the ground, and the tremendous force was transmitted to the knees, then the thighs, and all the way to the chest.
In order to unload the huge impact, the recruit could only curl up and roll to the side.
He finally got up, and the pain from the rolling on his back had not disappeared, when he heard the squad leader behind him shouting: "Run!" Run! ”
The new paratrooper hurriedly opened his legs, endured the pain in his back, and ran along the route drawn in white ash on the ground to the place where the team was waiting.
"Get moving! Move it! It's just the basics! Cheer up! Fast! Lyman shouted to his men with his hands behind his back.
Now he is an instructor who teaches his 11 men - about 2,000 German paratroopers have been promoted, and each of them has to train the same number of new paratroopers.
Based on this expansion, in a few months, the total number of German paratroopers will exceed 30,000, making it a strategic paratrooper force in its own right.
After gathering 11 people, the new paratrooper squad made a small circle and ran back to the high platform, where they walked up the stairs one by one to start a new round of simulated parachute jumping.
The first soldier stretched out his body according to the essentials, and then fell heavily to the ground. He also rolled as he landed, and then quickly ran to the place where he had just gathered in the distance.
In the same way, the second soldier jumped down in the same way, and his movements were much smoother than the first jump.
Almost half the time of the first simulated skydive, the 11 recruits completed a new round of training.
It wasn't until the last recruit that the other party glanced at Lyman. Just now, he didn't dare to jump down, and he lost a lot of time.
This time, the same height seemed to be less tangled for him, he didn't look at the ground under his feet, but bravely jumped directly out of the door frame.
He still rolled awkwardly when he landed, but he was clearly used to the impact. He got up from the ground and ran to his team with a body of dirt.
The difference is that this time Lyman did not speak. With his hands behind his back, he watched as all of his men jumped out of the high platform of the simulated cabin, and finally jumped out with them.
Because the height is indeed not low, his landing posture is not beautiful, and after landing, he also rolls in embarrassment, and then gets up and follows the last soldier.
A squad of paratroopers assembled in silence, went around in a small circle in silence, and climbed the high platform again in silence.
On the playground, such high platforms are one after another, one after another. There are hundreds of teams trained at the same time.
As the future of German paratroopers, these soldiers would become stars on the battlefield in the future. They will be sent to the toughest places to fight the most powerful enemies.
……
A German worker inspects a new product produced by Belgian workers in a Belgian weapons production workshop.
A brand new STG-44 assault rifle was assembled and placed in front of the quality inspectors.
The quality supervisor pulled the bolt, and the brand-new STG-44 assault rifle made a crisp sound.
The whole bolt moved very smoothly, and the weapon was in very good condition, and the quality supervisor nodded in satisfaction.
He took the tag on the weapon, signed his name in the qualifying position, and placed the weapon in the box on the side.
After the box is filled, it will be carried by the workers to the shooting range where the school shooter works, adjust the accuracy of the weapon, and test the accuracy and combat status of the weapon.
After that, there is a final inspection and sealing process, from which a qualified STG-44 assault rifle is delivered to the troops.
After all, this is a weapon commissioned for the production of Belgium and the Netherlands, and everyone feels that the quality must be strictly controlled. After all, this is only a German occupation zone, and the resistance of the workers is still more or less there.
Therefore, everything produced here is monitored by the real-name system, and if any weapon fails, it can be easily found that the manufacturer can be held accountable.
"Qualified! Excuse me, I already have enough products here. Placing the weapon in the box next to him, the quality inspector raised his hand and shouted to the porter in the distance.
Two Belgian porters hurried over, picked up the boxes and walked to the exit on the other side of the workshop.
They could not be more unrestrained, for not far behind them the eyes of the patrolling SS soldiers fell on them as soon as the shouts appeared.
After a series of improvements, this new weapon, which was covered with stamped parts, became the new favorite of the German army units.
The 32-round magazine is bent at a beautiful angle, and the stamping lines on the body of the gun are reinforced, giving this weapon an industrial aesthetic.
Although the STG-44 production assault rifle has lost its accuracy after the mass production improvement, it can still guarantee its effectiveness at distances of 300 to 350 meters.
As a weapon, it's a rare weapon. The pioneering use of intermediate power rifle ammunition gives this weapon unparalleled "versatility".
At normal engagement distances of 200 to 400 meters, this weapon allows soldiers to shoot accurately and kill enemies.
In a more sinister combat environment at a closer range, its continuous firing function ensures the continuity of firepower. It has a number of performance advantages over the single-shot Mauser 98K rifle.
On the part of the army, there was a huge disagreement over the use of this new weapon. The argument is simple, how many STG-44 assault rifles exactly are in the infantry squad.
Conservative commanders believed that it would be enough for an infantry squad to be armed with one or two such weapons.
The more aggressive commanders believed that at least four or more STG-44 assault rifles should be equipped to crush potential enemies in terms of firepower.
In the end, the conservatives won a brilliant victory, and the reason for their victory was not tactics, but the production capacity of the STG-44 assault rifle itself.
Even if the manufacturing is entrusted to factories in Belgium and the Netherlands, the production capacity of STG-44 still cannot meet the requirements of retooling.
As soon as 30,000 STG-44 assault rifles were produced, they were divided up by a large number of troops. If an infantry squad can get 1, it is already considered lucky.
The paratroopers were directly under the Air Force, and with the support of Goering, the Imperial Field Marshal, they got the lion's share. However, the army did not let go and took out an order for 200,000 pieces.
In fact, the order for 200,000 units is not much, and the actual demand for such weapons should be 1 million units or even more. If the possible consumption is counted, the demand for 2 million or even 3 million can be fully guaranteed.
However, in this case, there is no difference between asking for a million STG-44 assault rifles and asking for 100,000 - they are in short supply anyway, and they are in short supply anyway.
The army took 10,000 of these weapons, and only equipped 10,000 infantry squads, barely covering 120,000 people.
In fact, the Army is mobilizing and deploying troops on the Eastern Front, with more than 3 million troops planned, and the demand for STG-44 assault rifles is at least more than 300,000.
And that's just a case of an infantry squad equipped with one gun, and if an infantry squad is equipped with three, the number will be tripled.
The same weapons that are in short supply seem to have been proposed and produced by the Führer, and many of them are concepts proposed by the Führer himself, or led the design!
For example, the anti-tank bazooka, which was widely praised by the infantry, that is, the iron fist bazooka, has now become a good thing.
Because in the battle for the island of Malta, this rocket launcher provided direct fire support to the paratroopers. In both the battles that destroy enemy fortresses and expel the defenders inside buildings, Tekken excels.
So after that, the paratroopers offered to equip at least 10,000 of these bazookas. The army was also full of praise for this weapon after the test, and also put forward a request to equip 50,000 units.
