Gao Hongsheng sent the light mortar to the squad of the smallest combat unit, also considering that at present, their team is really unavailable, that is, there are no professional professional soldiers for him to use.

Who is he? Originally, light mortars were supposed to be directly commanded by the platoon commander as a platoon-level support weapon, but this required relatively high requirements for the platoon commander.

The platoon commander had to distribute firepower, supply logistics, establish positions, and so on according to the battlefield shape on the battlefield, and the workload was quite large; under the poor communication conditions at that time, the platoon-level command of the squad was still at the point where the heralds could convey orders on foot; in the chaotic and changeable battlefield situation, the platoon commander could not understand the situation faced by the squad units below in a timely manner, and it was very easy to delay the fighters or even make wrong decisions.

After the light rapid-fire mortar is lowered to the squad, the squad firepower can have medium-range suppressive firepower, and under normal circumstances, the enemy's medium-range firepower can be solved without helping itself, so that the platoon-level commander is liberated, and the impact of the platoon-level commander's erroneous command can be avoided.

In this way, the work of the platoon-level commander is much simpler; when attacking, he directly puts the six general-purpose machine guns in his hand into the squad as support firepower according to the situation, and when he defends, he takes back the rapid-fire light mortars that have been delegated to the squad to form the whole medium- and short-range sniper firepower, and even directly delegates the general-purpose machine guns in his hands to the general-purpose machine guns in his hands according to the situation of the task, and he only needs to do a good job of logistical support and coordination, thus greatly weakening the phenomenon of platoon-level commanders erroneously directing and interfering with the combat personnel at the bottom level.

After the firepower of the squad is strengthened, the smallest molecular unit of the unit will gain great flexibility, and the combination of medium and short-range firepower can produce many changes, although these requirements for the squad leader and deputy squad leader are somewhat too high, but compared with the loss of a platoon platoon by a platoon commander's wrong command, the loss of the squad unit alone is much smaller.

As the squad unit closest to the enemy, they know better how to use the weapons in their hands to hit the enemy in front of them, and they can make better use of the weapons and equipment in their hands than the platoon commanders who are a few hundred meters away, after all, this is related to their own life and death, and no one will not work hard to learn the use of these weapons.

Although it is guaranteed that there will be excessive use of firepower and waste of ammunition, but at present, Gao Hongsheng is really not afraid of this, his bandit number is not large, just a little bit of waste of people will be wasted, who makes him panic with more money now, he will not care about the ammunition money at all, and at the same time, the number of his subordinates can be better controlled.

The bandit armament is like this, it's okay to fight a good fight, that is, it's okay to bully people everywhere with their strong firepower, once they are surrounded or defeated, without the support of firm ideology and belief, it is likely that they will disperse in a hurry, don't think about who will help you desperately.

An army without ideas is terrible, just like a plate of loose sand, Gao Hongsheng has no way to engage in Shenma ideology at present, he is currently able to give everyone a stable meal, more money, and more people's hearts, so that at least when fighting a good battle, it will not be chaotic.

He desperately strengthened the weapons and equipment of his bandit armament, the most fundamental purpose was to be afraid of losing the battle, as long as he lost the battle, then his scattered sand-like armament would have a chain reaction and finally disappear, and then he would be the unlucky one.

Confidence is built on the basis of continuous victory, and the basis of victory is a strong armament, and only continuous victory can establish sufficient confidence, and sufficient confidence in turn promotes the cohesion of the troops, and after the cohesion comes up, he does not have to worry about the problem of rebellion, otherwise the troops without cohesion will not be scattered in a dozen or so.

The composition of the company-level troops is also very simple, referring to the experience of later generations are the three-three system, that is, there are three companies under the battalion, three platoons under the company, and three squads under the platoon, but the company level also needs special fire platoons, cooking squads, baggage squads, health squads, communication squads and so on.

Of course, the fire platoon needs heavy firepower and heavy machine guns, and a 50-caliber heavy machine gun is a good choice, with strong firepower, long range, and can also be carried for future air defense, this thing must be equipped, otherwise the slightly stronger field fortifications do not have a 50-caliber heavy machine gun for direct attack or suppression, and the firepower at the squad and platoon level alone is somewhat weak.

According to the information I found, the vertical distance of the air defense of the Maxim heavy machine gun is only 500 meters, and it is not an effective range of more than 2,000 meters when firing on the ground.

In terms of artillery, Gao Hongsheng scratched his head a little, according to the experience of later generations, it should be an 81-millimeter mortar as a company-level heavy firepower artillery.

According to the successor model of the German 34 type 80 mm mortar in the late World War II, the 80 mm 73 type mortar, it weighs more than 21 kilograms, the body tube is less than 1 meter and 2 long, the firing range is up to 4,500 yuan, the killing radius is more than 10 meters away, and the gunner only needs four people, the power of that thing is not small, even many modern armies use 81 or 82 mm mortars as fire support weapons at the company and battalion level, and he is already very advanced in that era.

Don't be fooled by the fake shelling footage in the movies and television, which is so fake, if you don't lie down and hide when you are being shelled, and the 81mm mortar shell explodes a few meters away from you, congratulations.

First of all, you will not tear your clothes directly with the powerful shock wave, and push you away like a piece of paper, you will find that you have already flew, and at the same time you have broken bones, a second or two, while you are still flying, the shrapnel will come into close contact with you, you will be torn to pieces by hundreds of shrapnel or become a bloody man covered in bloody holes, if you are lucky enough to escape the first two tribulations, but the blown up stones or dirt will bury you alive, At the same time, accompanied by severe internal bleeding, basically you will beg your companion to give you a shot to end your pain, of course, no one will recognize who you are, you are just a mass of rotten flesh that keeps twitching.

This is only the power of 81 mm mortar shells, as for the power of larger shells is not at all what everyone can imagine, I remember that I saw a photo of the battlefield during the self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam, in the photo, many Vietnamese soldiers are lying on the ground naked, I was very curious to ask a former soldier what happened, people looked at it and said, it was bombed, within the range of the shock wave after the explosion of the shell, and at the same time, because it was a lying position, so basically they were shocked to death, But the clothes on his body were blown apart by the shock wave formed by the explosion of the shell, and it turned out to be like that.

These scenes are impossible to show on film and television, they are too bloody. A large bomb of more than 500 kilograms, if it explodes, it can form a large pit with a depth of six or seven meters and a radius of hundreds of meters, and it is directly a bomb and a building.

Not to mention the shoddy things in the country, a few meters away from an explosion point exploded, and he actually stood and pounced on the dirt on his body, like no one else, it was simply a mockery of the power of artillery shells and grenades.

Even an offensive grenade has a minimum kill range of about five meters, and the roar of the explosion will directly shock you off balance and fall to the ground, of course, it will be much better after lying down, because the shrapnel is flying upwards at an oblique angle, and you are only affected by the shock wave.

The first kind of mortar in modern times is the Stokes-Brontë 81 mm mortar developed by the French in 1927, this mortar adopts a buffer, which solves the shortcomings of the rigid connection between the gun body and the gun mount, and the structure is more reasonable, basically having the characteristics of a modern mortar.

Speaking of which, the French still have its consistent advanced nature in the study of artillery, but the French still have a habit that after something is invented, then it will be gone, and its task will be completed anyway.

For example, the first "small-caliber rifle" that used smokeless gunpowder was invented, and then Western countries developed the rifle much faster than it, and finally it became the most backward one.

It's the same with artillery, look at the mortar was the first to be modernized, but the mortar in France during World War II was the most silent among the countries.

Miss Seventy-Five is a good thing, but it recognizes one, and it doesn't play with large-caliber land artillery, but the Germans and the British and American artillery finally surpass it, and the whole thing is a model project, and the actual benefits of looking good on face are not caught at all.

This problem is likely to have something to do with the romantic character of the French, young and beautiful women are liked by everyone, and they chase and chase desperately, and they finally get their hands on it, but after that excitement, the hidden flowers and thoughts will be transferred, and the result is that they become professional households that make wedding dresses for others.
