Chapter XXXVIII
Updated: 202-0-0
The active boat bandits in the Zhoushan area are actually the Maritime Guard led by Chen Yu and Jiang Li. The Coast Guard was formed after the end of live firing at boot camps.
The M7 rifle was sent to Mingxing Island on August 5, but the recruits still carried heavy simulated guns on their backs. Although the Springfield M7 rifle is a single-shot non-automatic rifle, as the most powerful infantry weapon in this time and space (not counting the M6), it is natural that it should be handed over to the most comfortable people.
In addition to cultural and political education, the new recruit training began on 15 July, and in addition to cultural and political education, the new battalion training was also interspersed with physical training such as five-kilometer cross-country running, single and parallel bars training, and Trojan horse. After almost a month of training, the recruits have proven to be fully adapted to military life. Through political propaganda, the recruits fully accepted the content of political education, and it became their will to exterminate the Tartars and oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.
At the end of the parade on August 10, each recruit put down his dummy gun and replaced it with a Springfield M7 rifle, and the training entered the second phase.
Veterans such as Wang Tiehammer and Shui Wuxian each received an M7 rifle with 200 rounds of ammunition a few days ago. They spent a day at the beach and got to know Springfield completely.
The boot camp spent a whole day organizing recruits to learn about the Springfield M7 Valve Rifle, from weapon disassembly and combination, wiping and maintenance, to the essentials of target aiming. The M7 rifle is a total of four steps, opening the valve; (2) Loading guns; Close the flap; (4) Pull the hammer to the position to be hit.
In less than half a day, all the recruits have mastered the performance, simulated loading and smashing, and shot freely. For the next five days, gunfire thundered every day on Mingxing Island. More than 700 recruits were divided into four groups, each lying on the designated beach, lying in the dug fortifications, and shooting at targets 100 meters away. Behind the recruits, the cadres of the squad platoon company commanded back and forth.
In the first two days, the leaders of the advance team such as Wang Tiehammer and Yunlan were like facing a great enemy, and went to the shooting range to take command. After a few days, Wang Tiehammer completely put his mind at ease, "If you don't go, you have to be led to the front line in person, when will the squad leader grow." In case of encountering the enemy, how can they organize and command the battle! ”
Sitting in the office, hearing bursts of gunshots, Wang Tiezhu, Yunlan and others still couldn't calm down. They all walked out of the room and onto the hillside, looking out over the four beach ranges.
Yun Lan's father, Yun Dongming, was also on the hillside, and he greeted Wang Tie Hammer with a smile. "Captain, the sound of gunfire on the sea has spread far away, and it should be heard in the direction of Zhoushan. There was a lot of gunfire on our side all day long, and the Manchus should have reacted. ”
Yun Dongming is also an old navy, worked in ships, and was later transferred to naval aviation. When Yunlan was a child, he always thought that the navy was a flying unit.
"Dad, I can't control the sound of this gunshot." Yun Lan screamed. "At most, the Manchu Qing sent troops over, and we will destroy as many as they come."
"Report!" While speaking, Chen Yu came over. "Captain Wang, I want to be in the navy!" The straight pestle was in front of Wang Tiehammer, "The military and political training class has ended, you should let me report to the Prince." ”
Wang Tiehammer frowned, "It's impossible for you to get on the Prince." ”
Chen Yumao, "Why?" Why? I was a platoon commander in the Marine Corps, and it was only natural for me to work in the Navy. ”
Wang Tiezhu glanced at Chen Yu and said slowly: "Because we want to form a coast guard, the coast guard needs a captain." ”
"Captain of the Coast Guard!" Chen Yu was happy now, "Okay, this is no problem." Cousin, I love you to death! As he spoke, he was about to hug Wang Tiehammer.
"Don't, you don't bother me." Wang Tiehammer pushed Chen Yu away, "Let your cousin-in-law see, can I still live?" ”
Chen Yu snorted, "Hmph, little coward!" Then he asked with concern about the composition of the Coast Guard.
"You go to Yunlan, in addition to forming the backbone of the army, you can choose other personnel." "This is your instructor." ”
Chen Yu turned his head to Jiang Li. Jiang Li's face was expressionless, "It's a great honor to work with Captain Chen!" With a deck of cards, he nodded to Chen Yu.
"Go and go, the seven boats at the pier are all from the coast guard, you go first." Wang Tiehammer waved Chen Yu and Jiang Li away.
Yun Dongming shook his head, "When the witch meets the playing cards, this scene is worth it." ”
Wang Tiezhu said to Yun Dongming with a smile, "This Chen Platoon Leader is too anxious, and he needs to be honed. ”
Yun Dongming nodded in agreement.
"Uncle Yun, we are going to form the first battalion of the army in the next stage, I heard Yun Lan say that you don't agree very much."
Yun Dongming's face suddenly became very serious, "Yes, I don't quite agree." I don't think your backbone has this military quality, as soldiers, they may be fully qualified, but they will definitely not be able to command squads and platoons. ”
"Uncle Yun, you're right." Wang Tiehammer raised his voice, "However, we can let them mature gradually through training." ”
"It's okay to train, but half a year of training, or a year?" Yun Dongming was very disapproving, "The backbone has not undergone on-the-job training, has not been tested by the war, and in case of emergency, if the army does not collapse, there will be countless casualties." ”
"Casualties~~" Wang Tiehammer lowered his head, drawing circles on the ground on his toes, and he raised his head in the middle of the ring, and asked with a bitter face, "What is your opinion?" ”
"I suggest that you first form a teaching company and intensify the training of all the backbone of the preparatory squad platoon company first. The battalion commander is the company commander first, the company commander is the platoon commander first, the platoon commander is the squad leader first, and the squad leader and deputy squad leader are the soldiers first. Yun Dongming said to Wang Tiehammer very cautiously, "I suggest that this teaching team should go through the test of war. The duration of training must not be less than three months. ”
On 16 August, on the large playground of the recruit training camp on Mingxing Island, singing and shouting were loud and loud. More than 700 recruits, under the leadership of the deputy squad leaders, sat in a neat row on the playground and waited for the meeting, because all the cadres of the squad and platoon went to the transit base for a meeting, and they were in full swing singing.
"Unity is strength
Unity is strength
This power is iron
This power is steel
Harder than iron,
Stronger than steel
Fired at the Manchu Tartars
Let the robbers who invaded China die!
To the sun,
Towards victory
Shine towards the new Daming!"
Under the leadership of Zhao Dalong, the second company had just finished singing "Unity is Strength", and the first company immediately began to coax, "Did the second company sing well just now, do you want another one!" The applause continued.
Not to be outdone, the second company was not to be outdone, "One in a row, one in a row." ”
One and two companies were pulling up their strength, and the third company sang the "Chinese Rejuvenation Song" there.
"Down with the Great Powers!
Down with the Great Powers!
Get rid of the demons!
Get rid of the demons!
The revival of China is successful!
The revival of China is successful!
Let's fight!
Let's fight! ”
After the three companies finished singing, Wu Sheng stood in front of the team, he made a stop gesture, and suddenly the playground fell silent.
Shui Wuxian and Yunlan walked to the front of the team, and Wu Sheng shouted, "All of them are here, stand up, take a break, stand upright!" "And then trotted all the way over, report.
When the team is all seated, "Comrades! Yun Lan into the microphone, "Our training has been a month, in this month of training, everyone is brave, one by one, there are many athletes in the army, there are queue pacesetters, there are internal affairs pacesetters, there are shooting pacesetters. ”
Yunlan recited more than eighty names, and all the people who were read ran to the front of the line and sat down.
"Sun Meihua"
The last one to be read was Sun Meihua, he was stunned in the team for a moment, he almost fell behind in the queue action, although all the shooting was on target, but the results were not satisfactory, although the internal affairs were very hard, but not better than the others in the class.
"Sun Meihua" Yunlan called again.
The brothers on the left and right were pushing him, Sun Meihua hesitated, picked up the steel gun and ran to the front to sit down, and continued to hold the steel gun in her arms.
"Some people say that they are no worse than Sun Meihua, why did Sun Meihua become a loyal and brave man and a pacesetter?" Saying that, Yun Lan shouted below, "Sun Meihua." ”
"Here!" Sun Meihua replied and immediately stood up.
"You raise your steel gun."
Sun Meihua raised the gun into the air with her right hand, and under the direct sunlight, the steel gun flashed with pitch black light.
"Everyone, the gun in the training camp, this gun is the brightest." Yunlan asked, "Sun Meihua, tell me why your gun is the brightest." ”
Sun Meihua straightened her chest, "The instructor said that the gun is the second life of our soldiers, and with it, we can find the Manchu Tartars to take revenge and let the glory of China shine all over the world." ”
Sun Meihua is a native of Tongzhou and is almost 30 years old. When he was farming in his hometown in northern Jiangsu, he once studied for two days when he was not working, although the queue, housekeeping, and shooting were not as good as others, and there was no problem with comprehension, obedience, and eloquence.
"Well said!" Yunlan asked Sun Meihua to sit down first, "The gun is our life, on the battlefield, if there is a problem with the gun, our life will be threatened." But many of our comrades are enthusiastic about shooting training, but gun maintenance is perfunctory. You must know that if we don't take good care of it, our steel guns will rust. When the time comes, don't talk about beating the Qing Tartars, because the bullets can't be fired, and maybe you will hurt yourself. Everyone should remember that if you lose your gun, you lose your life. Everyone should be proud of caring for guns and be ashamed of damaging them. ”
In the end, Shui Wuxian announced that these 90 pacesetters would be promoted in advance and awarded them the rank of private, and the rest of the recruits would be awarded the rank of private.
In the solemn music, Shui Wuxian and Yunlan issued the rank of senior soldier to these 90 pacesetters one by one. The recruits below were hot-eyed and envious one by one.
At the same time, in the study room of the Mingxing Island transit base, Wang Tiehammer stood on the podium,
"As everyone knows, we are preparing to form the first battalion of the Yulin Army. You, the comrades here, are the backbone of the 1st Battalion. ”
More than 70 cadres, including Tan Ke, Ban Xue, Kohler, McClain, Qiu Feng, Wu Shimang, Zhang Yuba, Ye Danqing, Zha Yudang, Ma Jia, Wang Xinglei, and Huang Pengfei, sat below, all of them straightened their waists and focused on Wang Tiehammer.
"The first battalion consisted of three companies plus a machine gun company and was a regular infantry battalion. In accordance with the principle of the three-three system, one platoon has three squads, and one company has three platoons. Some of you will be company platoon commanders, some will be assistants to staff officers at the battalion headquarters, and some will be military doctors and technicians operating machine guns. But~~" Wang Tiehammer said this, pausing for a moment. "However, you people are all rookies, and although you have received some training in the military training class, you don't understand or understand how to organize and lead the combat training of the troops."
After listening to Wang Tiezhu's words, there was some commotion below.
"It seems that some people are not convinced, right?" Wang Tiehammer knocked on the table with his hand, and he said leisurely, "Do you know the tactics of the squad platoon and the construction of fortifications? ”
Wang Tiehammer glanced at the venue, "When the enemy suddenly attacked during the march, how did you organize the defense and attack?" Reading maps, researching and exploiting terrain, most of you certainly won't! ”
Wang Tiehammer's eyes swept over, and the cadres sat upright one by one, without any movement at all.
"In order that when the war is raging, everyone will not panic and will be able to win. The advance team decided to use all the cadres scheduled for the first battalion, plus the outstanding seedlings selected from the recruits, three training platoons and a machine gun team to form a 44-man training company for three months. Proficient in offensive and defensive battles, vigilance, reconnaissance, night and other subjects, learn infantry detachment tactics, map interpretation, terrain analysis. ”
In the end, Wang Tiehammer said: "The last task of the teaching company is to let everyone experience the baptism of war, familiarize themselves with the atmosphere of the battlefield, and hope that everyone can withstand the test, and there will be no deserters." ”
Although Wang Tiezhu was telling a joke, the faces of all the cadres in the venue were tense, and there was no trace of a smile.
Li Da is 26 years old this year, graduated from the Shenyang Artillery Academy, and was the former commander of the artillery company of the 6th Division of the 9th Army. Li Da has rich experience in leading troops at the grassroots level, and because he is unwilling to be a soldier in peacetime, he has just been recruited by Bai Baoxiang.
Although Li Da is the company commander of the field army, after all, he has never done it with real ammunition; And Shui Wuxian is a major of the armed police who has experienced many anti-terrorist battles on the Sichuan-Tibet side, and he is also the old man of the team, who has participated in Japanese operations and has rich combat experience. In the end, Bai Baoxiang and Wang Tiehammer chose Shui Wuxian as the military commander of the army teaching company, Yun Lan as the political officer, and retired army sergeant Kohler as the deputy company commander of the teaching company.
The recruit battalion has 64 private-class deputy squad leaders, plus the newly awarded 90 privates, for a total of 54 privates. Shui Wuxian and Yunlan and others selected 74 senior soldiers from the middle, plus 70 cadres, to form a 44-member army teaching company. Ban Xue and Wu Shimang commanded and taught a platoon; Qiu Feng and Zhang Yiba trained and taught the second platoon; McClain and Ye Danqing manage and teach three rows; Tan Ke was responsible for instructing the company's cannon team.
For the remaining 0 senior soldiers, Chen Yu and Jiang Li selected 20 former fishermen and pirates as the backbone of the Maritime Guard; The remaining 60 people were all appointed as squad leaders of the boot camp and continued to organize recruit training.
Li Da was in charge of military training in the recruit training camp, Li Juesi was in charge of political education, and cadres of the second phase of the military and political training class, such as Longshan Leopard and Tan Huan, took over the company and platoon posts in the recruit camp. Every day is still a five-kilometer cross-country in the morning, queue training in the morning, live-fire training in the afternoon, political education in the evening, and cultural classes are also placed in the hour before lunch and dinner.
After the formation of the army training company, under the command of Shui Wuji, they dug trenches, piled earth barriers, built walls, practiced formation changes during the march, and learned map interpretation and terrain analysis. On the march, he was constantly trained in various subjects on imaginary targets, sometimes in short charges, not only to run fast, but also to assassinate the enemy when he rushed into the enemy's position. The sound of gunfire and artillery accompanied them every day, and when they charged, there were even preset explosion points on the side of the road.
