Wang Yongan then explained his requirements for grenades, and he attached great importance to grenades, the reason for which was that grenades were cost-effective, powerful in defensive battles, and even more powerful in street battles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 During the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Moscow, the Russians inflicted great casualties on the well-armed German army with grenades.

Today there are two types of grenades in the world, one is the German long-handled grenade and the other is the British pineapple-type grenade. Comparatively speaking, the long-handled grenade is easier to throw in terms of throwing, although the standing projectile is not as long as the pineapple grenade throwing distance, but in actual combat, the vast majority of fighters are thrown in a lying or kneeling position, and in these two complex situations, the long-handled grenade has more advantages and a longer throwing range. The advantage of the wooden handle grenade is also that it is low in cost, safe in transportation, and can be used instead of explosives when necessary.

The shortcomings of the long-handled grenade are also obvious, although the cost is low, the structure is complex and time-consuming, the production is inconvenient, and the distribution of fragments is not as uniform as the pineapple grenade during blasting, especially during the Anti-Japanese War, the long-handled grenade manufactured by the communist arsenal was repeatedly despised by the Japanese army, and even the soldiers would rather use the Taiyuan Arsenal in Yan Xishan to produce grenades than their own grenades.

Hand grenades have not been taken seriously until the Russo-Japanese War, when Russian soldiers used a large number of grenades in the fortress of Arthur, causing heavy casualties to Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese had enough of the suffering of grenades, so they officially paid attention to the role of grenades. It was not until after the First World War that European countries became aware of the huge role of hand grenades in infantry attack and defense.

Fortunately, Han Linchun studied in Japan during the Russo-Japanese War, came into contact with a large number of materials of the Japanese Army, and also participated in part of the reform of the Japanese Army, so he has an understanding of grenades that is not used by ordinary officers in this era.

The two had a slight disagreement on the characterization of grenades, Han Linchun preferred pineapple-type grenades, while Wang Yongan hoped to mass-produce long-handled grenades in the future, but it was not them who ultimately decided which grenade, but silver - silver determined the cheaper long-handled grenade.

After identifying the grenade, Wang Yongan began to discuss training bombs with Han Linchun, Han Linchun was surprised by this, he heard the commander ask for the use of training bombs for the first time in China, for the army of the Qing Dynasty today, there are no training bombs at all, all use live firing and live ammunition training.

However, at this time, the Japanese Army had just begun to use training bullets, and the difference between training bullets and standard bullets was the warhead, and some training bullets were empty cartridges without warheads, in order to allow soldiers to adapt to the sound of guns on the battlefield and reaction training under firing pressure.

Although the Japanese began to use training ammunition, most of the military still trained with live ammunition, and the reason for this was not that the Japanese had money, but that the Japanese had upgraded their weapons. The first modern rifle produced in Japan was the Murata rifle, which was designed by Lieutenant Colonel Murata Tsuyoshi, a firearms expert from the Satsuma clan. The design of the sample gun began in 1874, in 1875 Murata went to Europe to investigate, after returning to China and after 5 years of development, in 1880 successfully developed an 11mm single-shot rifle, named "Murata gun of the Great Japanese Empire", referred to as the Murata gun or thirteen-year rifle, and set as the Japanese standard rifle. The gun is almost identical in appearance, size and internal structure to the French Chaspor rifle, which was produced by the Tokyo Artillery Factory Koishikawa Rifle Works in Japan, and is the first standard single-shot rear-loading rifled rifle designed and manufactured by Japan.

However, due to the fact that the gun had many flaws in its design, it was especially defeated by the Mauser repeating rifles of the Qing army in the Sino-Japanese War.

In the Battle of Pyongyang in the First Sino-Japanese War, two infantry wings and an artillery wing of the Japanese army, a total of 3,600 people, entered the vicinity of the Qing army's bridgehead in the boat bridge on the south bank of the Datong River. More than 1,000 Japanese troops equipped with Murata-style rifles forcibly charged the river bridge, and as a result, 200 Qing troops used Mauser rifles to shoot, killing 140 Japanese soldiers below the rank of colonel and 290 wounded on the spot. The Japanese poet Tsunoura Mei Tan sighed: "This battle is not to die under the banner, and the battle is bitter in the bridge." ”

After the First Sino-Japanese War (Sino-Japanese War), the Japanese rapidly improved the rifle and successfully developed the 30 rifle (Golden Hook Rifle), which replaced it as the Japanese standard rifle. A few years later, when the Russo-Japanese War broke out, the Japanese found that the Type 30 rifle encountered a problem of jamming when fighting in northern China.

Now the Japanese Army is massively equipped with Type 38 rifles, and Type 30 rifles have only been in service for six years, so the Japanese market Type 30 rifles to the Qing Dynasty. It is a pity that the Qing Dynasty has not yet fallen into a civil war at this time, so the War Department uniformly adopted German-style weapons standards, and the Japanese had to put them in warehouses because of the difficulties in their arms business. The training ammunition of the Japanese uses the old Murata rifle, and the Japanese are like the national character in terms of weapon maintenance, even if they have been used for more than ten years, they are still as new as new. When Han Linchun was studying and training in Japan, he used a Murata rifle for training.

"It is said that my 24th Mixed Association is the new Jiangdong Tiger, but unfortunately most of the soldiers of this tiger are all new recruits, one-third of the original veterans were killed, and only more than 2,000 veterans were left in the end." Wang Yongan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You must know that the most valuable thing about an army is not its weapons and training, but the non-commissioned officers and veterans that make up an army. As the saying goes, a soldier will be a nest, and for an army, veterans and commanders are the days of soldiers. ”

"Veterans can't get it, but new recruits can train." Wang Yongan continued to talk eloquently, "Now there is also a problem in the training of recruits, because of the high price of bullets, the shooting training of recruits is seriously insufficient, and because there is little live-ammunition training, many recruits are frightened when they hear the sound of guns. The lack of bullets has seriously affected the psychological quality of the recruits, and even if the veterans try hard, the exhaustion of the veterans will not meet the standard. ”

Han Linchun nodded and said with a wry smile: "In addition to the first six towns, which army is diligent in shooting training?" Your troubles and problems are precisely the troubles and problems of all troops. ”

Wang Yongan smiled helplessly, sighed, and thought of the vigorous shooting training of the PLA soldiers in later generations, and even criticized and punished if they asked for a certain number of bullets every day......

Han Linchun had some amusement in his heart, many commanders were eager for the soldiers to shoot without live ammunition, and save the silver that consumed bullets and carry it in their arms, but the master in front of him not only supported the soldier's shooting training, but also paid his own money to support the soldier's training. But whoever takes his own money out to train soldiers must not have a small plan, and the future will either be a demon or a Buddha.
