"This is a machine gun, and it's a pretty good machine gun, it weighs only thirteen kilograms, just look at the number of the two weapons in your hands, we can't use that thing at all, it's too difficult. Remember the training manual I gave you about the methods of attack and defense at the platoon and company levels? How are you going to accompany the infantry with that big guy in your hands, can you carry it? ”

"Don't worry, there's another big question, whether it's Maxim or Hatch Cash, do you see their gun mounts? Yes, yes, that's it, take a good look. Gao Hongsheng pointed to the two complex steel gun mounts of the Makqin and Hatch Kaiss heavy machine guns in the picture.

Feng Laosi and Hong Jincai followed Gao Hongsheng's finger to the position on the picture, carefully looked at the gun mounts of the two heavy machine guns on the picture, and then raised their heads and looked at him suspiciously, they really didn't understand what was wrong with this gun mount.

"The quadrangular frame of the Maxim heavy machine gun weighs more than thirty-five kilograms, and the tripod of Hatch Chase weighs about twenty-five kilograms, can you imagine that our brethren can carry this thing around the battlefield?

The biggest problem with these gun mounts is that the ground must be repaired in advance, that is, a sapper shovel out of a flat ground where this thing is placed, and then press it with sandbags and other heavy objects, otherwise the strong recoil will make the machine gun move, which will affect the accuracy of the shooting, and may overturn the entire machine gun.

In addition, this rack is quite complicated, and it must be specially trained to operate, and our brothers do not even know a few words, and several will use it in the future. Gao Hongsheng pointed to the two heavy machine guns, and the part of the gun carriage on the picture said the number jù.

Then looked at the two people with sad faces and thought for a while, reached out and picked up the lockbox placed under the table, opened it and flipped through the picture of the Russian-made Makqin 1910 heavy machine gun, side by side with the 08 type, and then pointed and said: "This is the Makqin heavy machine gun made by Lao Maozi himself, and they are not equipped with troops at present, this is called wheeled Makqin, it uses two wheels to frame the entire machine gun, not only is it more flexible in terms of movement, At the same time, there are not so many requirements for the terrain when shooting, and it has to be said that the Russians are still very smart. ”

Feng Laosi crawled on the table and looked at this new picture, and nodded incessantly: "Yes, the Russians are really smart, not only is it easy to move on the battlefield, but it is also simpler than a tripod, and it is not so troublesome to operate, you only need to drag it to the place and turn it in a direction to shoot, good things, good things!" ”

"Yes, this Russian Makqin that has not yet equipped the troops is indeed better than the Germans, but it is also unable to accompany the infantry to advance, and there is also the problem of being too heavy, it is better to talk about flat land, if it is mountainous, it will be troublesome, we have a lot of mountains in Shandong, and it will be troublesome for us to use it. However, it can be used in the fortress over there in Tianjin, this thing has a super continuous shooting ability, and it is most suitable for use in the fortress. This wheeled gun carriage can't be exposed yet, and I'll fix it when the time comes. ”

The wheeled gun carriage of the Russian-made Makqin 1910 heavy machine gun Gao Hongsheng really didn't want to expose it in advance, and the disadvantage of exposing it ten years in advance was that he was afraid that Lao Maozi would learn it in advance, the wheeled gun carriage was much simpler and more practical than the Germans' four-corner gun mount, Germany or Russia didn't have a good thing, tell them what to do in advance, the window paper can play a role in blocking without piercing, and he didn't have the spare time to pierce this layer of window paper.

"The Bergman MG15NA light machine gun does not have these troubles, the weight is only a dozen kilograms, a brother can run around with it, the bipod can shoot anywhere, it is easy to move, it can accompany the brothers forward, the rate of fire is not low, and the range is enough, although the ability to continue to fire cannot be compared, but we can increase the amount of equipment and use the numerical advantage to resist the shortcomings of continuous shooting firepower output.

Maxim heavy machine guns or Hatch Chase heavy machine guns generally need a group of five people, including a machine gunner, a secondary shooter, an ammunition man, and the other two as guards or carry ammunition, Bergman is much simpler, two people can, one machine gunner, one deputy shooter and ammunition man, two people can move all over the battlefield, can shoot in any terrain, they are equipped with a heavy machine gun in a platoon, we can be equipped with two Bergman with the same personnel, It can also provide direct support along with the advance of the infantry. In addition, we can also attach a simple tripod to this machine gun in this position, so that this machine gun can be used as a heavy machine gun, this machine gun is called a general-purpose machine gun. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Hongsheng paused, glanced at the two bosses with a long face full of knowledge, smiled and brought up the lockbox on the ground, and poured out a bunch of World War I military puppets from it and laid out a table, among which there were several large color drawings folded together.

Hong Jincai stood up and took the first step to pull several puppets to him, picked up one of them, looked at it and said, "Yo! This is an infantryman, look at this arm and leg can still move! Hey, still standing, oops! It's still crawling, it's fun, it's fun. ”

Feng Laosi also excitedly picked out all kinds of puppets from the pile of puppets piled on the table, riflemen with rifles, grenadiers with grenades, machine gunners with light machine guns, heavy machine gun crews merged together, and artillery puppets with 75 rapid-fire guns composed of eight people, etc., placed in front of him one by one, curiously fiddling with them.

Gao Hongsheng ignored these two childlike children, but pushed the puppets to them, vacated the middle of the table, spread out a large colored drawing that was opened, and then picked and selected the puppets in the pile according to the types of troops marked on the drawings, and placed the puppets on the drawings.

After a while, the drawing was full of dense puppets, as if it was a picture of a group of soldiers on the battlefield lined up in a dense infantry array to attack another group of soldiers in the trench, the puppets on it were converted into actual distances according to the proportion, and the distance between the soldiers in the horizontal row was about one meter, and there were about fifty or sixty puppets in each row, and the distance between the front and back of each horizontal row was more than two meters, a total of about six rows, and the far away position of these six horizontal rows was several neatly arranged columns. Gao Hongsheng simply set up a column with more than 100 puppets, and the rest of the things were piled up, but the six horizontal rows of puppets in front of him were neatly arranged one by one, holding rifles with bayonets, and attacked another group of soldiers hiding in the trenches.

The trench is represented by a thin black diagonal line sandwiched between two thick black lines, densely packed with crawling puppets next to each other, and the front of each puppet is marked by a red ray on the drawing to indicate the firing line.

"Okay, stop playing, let's come and see." After Gao Hongsheng finished placing it, he stepped back a little to see if there were any mistakes, and then said to the two bosses who were still playing with toys.

Feng Laosi and Hong Jincai both stood over, looked at the dense puppets on the color drawings, and carefully observed for a long time, Feng Laosi touched his chin and said: "What kind of formation are these dense villains lined up, it looks very familiar!" It seems to be the same as what we used to train in the Qing army, as if this was the formation when we charged. That's right, that's it. ”

Hong Jincai also looked at it seriously, and said affirmatively: "It's not wrong, it's this formation, the place within this horizontal line seems to indicate the trench, and these villains on it should be small soldiers crawling in the trench." ”

"Yes, after all, it's the people who have been on the battlefield, okay, listen well, let me tell you about the changes in the modern war formation, which involves the question of how we should choose weapons, you have all listened well."

"This is a standard scene of attacking a trench on the current skirmish line, each horizontal platoon is a platoon or a company of soldiers, they are about one meter away from each other, or even two to three meters, and they are lined up in a horizontal row after unfolding, I have placed six horizontal platoons here, that is, this number is more or less, but the column behind the horizontal platoon, also called the reserve, their role is that when the horizontal platoon breaks through the defense or needs to strengthen the attack, they can quickly reinforce it, here we can ignore them, You know, we can do that, and we'll do the same in the future. ”

"This way of attacking is that when the fighters of the first row are hit, the soldiers of the second row also rush to the position of the first row, as if the enemy is endless, endless, and cannot be killed at all, bringing strong mental pressure to the defenders, and finally collapsing and disintegrating."

"This kind of offensive and defensive method is basically the company-platoon-level offensive method widely used by the Western powers at present, but it lacks a little artillery preparation, and it is also the main offensive and defensive defense when the heavy machine gun is not equipped with the army. To put it simply, it is an upgraded version of platoon shooting, nothing new. ”

Feng Laosi and Hong Jincai nodded, this offensive and defensive method is indeed the same as what Gao Hongsheng said, and it is also the training method in the original Qing army.
