"In this battle, there are a lot of problems, we only focus on the front, but we neglect the two wings. If we had dispatched superior forces to assist on both flanks in the first time after the gunfire on the flanks, perhaps the battle would not have been so hard, and our casualties would not have been so large. Wang Dahe, who was holding a cigarette butt in his hand, had a low voice, and beside him, Xu Heizi and Xiao Haishan and others were still sitting. The fierce battle in the valley has ended, and although the Eighth Route Army and guerrillas in the valley have paid a lot of casualties, they still successfully repelled the attack of the Japanese puppet army.

It already had the advantage of terrain and strong fortifications, but it turned out to be like this. If it weren't for the timely rescue of the two of them, maybe the valley would have been broken through by the enemy, and the battle situation would probably not be like this. As soon as he thought of this, Wang Dahe only felt a chill in his back, so after the battle was over, he summoned Xu Heizi and them to come to his place for a summary meeting. After the war, this was the practice of the Eighth Route Army, and it almost turned a must-win battle into a defeat, and Wang Dahe felt that it was even more necessary to hold a summary meeting.

"What the battalion commander said is that we are careless in this battle. I always thought that everything would be fine if I guarded the mouth of the valley, but I neglected the position of the two wings, you must know that the Japanese army's consistent trick is to like to outflank and break through from the two wings, and we have suffered a big loss in this regard. Xu Heizi was also full of self-blame at the moment. Xiao Haishan, who was pulled by Xu Heiziqiang, was a little absent-minded at the moment, after the battle was over, it should be time to clean up the battlefield, after the Xiaojia Village guerrillas had experienced several battles, the combat attrition had exceeded forty percent, Xiao Haishan pointed to this battle to drop more trophies, so as to recruit more members from the surrounding villages to strengthen his guerrillas.

Xiao Haishan, who has not yet felt the atmosphere of the regular army, has a hard time understanding the benefits of participating in the summary meeting, and all he cares about is the benefits that can be seen in front of him. "In this battle, we have exposed many problems, such as our lack of effective means of fire suppression." Speaking of this, Wang Dahe suddenly remembered the scene of Lu Yuan and the two of them suppressing the firepower of the Japanese puppet army remotely on Maoer Mountain, just two people and two guns, they suppressed the assault of dozens of Japanese puppet soldiers from a long distance, if there are such good hands in their own troops, I am afraid that the casualty number of this battle will be greatly reduced.

Xu Heizi knew what Wang Dahe meant by the suppression method, so he couldn't help but turn his head to Xiao Haishan, who was speechless, "Captain Xiao, I know that your guerrilla team should also have a sniper rifle. Look, can you..."Xu Heizi's original intention was just to want Xiao Haishan's team members who were equipped with sniper rifles to help the Eighth Route Army train sharpshooters, but Xiao Haishan, who didn't want to hear his words, immediately jumped up as if he had been stung by a wasp.

"No, absolutely not, that gun is the lifeblood of our Xiaojia Village guerrillas. And Xiao Changshui is a stubborn donkey-like guy, if you want his life, you can ask for his sniper rifle, I'm afraid it won't work. Xiao Haishan's words sounded a little upside down, but Xu Heizi already understood what Xiao Haishan wanted to express. Subconsciously turned around and glanced at Wang Dahe, and seeing Wang Dahe's expression jumping out of the corner of his eyes, Xu Heizi turned his head and continued to look at Xiao Haishan.

"Captain Xiao, I'm afraid you misunderstood me." Xu Heizi smiled and took out a cigarette and handed one to Xiao Haishan. "I want to ask Xiao Changshui from your team to help us train some sharpshooters, if we have enough sharpshooters, we won't be so passive when we encounter a situation like today in the future." Xu Heizi made his words clear, and Xiao Haishan eased up, but his answer made Wang Dahe very dissatisfied.

"Platoon Commander Xu, Changshui's gun was captured by Mr. Lu from the little devil, if you want to train a sharpshooter like Changshui, you must use that kind of sniper rifle with a small mirror. Mr. Lu said that snipers are also a new type of military in the armies of European countries, and even in the armies of the Japanese, there are only snipers in the Kwantung Army outside the Kanto Army. If you want to get a sniper rifle, it's too difficult, and the one on the long sailor is also a coincidence. ”

Xiao Haishan was just relaying Lu Yuan's original words, but in the ears of Wang Dahe and others, they were looking for a reason to reject Xu Heizi's proposal. Xiao Haishan didn't pay attention to the reaction of Wang Dahe and the others, but continued, "Although it is possible to train sharpshooters with ordinary rifles, it not only requires a large number of bullets, but also the people selected for training must also have the talent of shooting. Most of the people in our Xiaojia Village guerrillas are from Orion, and among the more than 100 people, only one Changshui is singled out. ”

Speaking of Xiao Changshui, Xiao Haishan's voice couldn't help but reveal a sense of pride and show-off, in the combat effectiveness that had just ended, Xiao Changshui used that sniper rifle to kill more than 20 Japanese puppet soldiers alone. When the little devil is as easy to fight as a rabbit in the mountains, but Xiao Changshui just did it, so it is not unreasonable for Xiao Haishan to be proud of him. Xiao Haishan's words made Wang Dahe and the others silent, and thinking about Xiao Haishan's words just now, it didn't seem to be completely unreasonable.

To train sharpshooters, it is necessary to consume a large amount of ammunition, but the Eighth Route Army has been in a situation of shortage of guns and ammunition since its formation. The fighters of the main forces are better, and every time they fight, they will have a dozen bullets on their bodies, and the fighters of the second and third line troops may only have two or three bullets on their bodies. In this case, Wang Dahe's desire to mobilize a large number of bullets to train sharpshooters obviously does not work.

Xu Heizi made a suggestion that there was no way to achieve, and then the whole person fell silent, and Wang Dahe suddenly couldn't lift his spirits, and after a few hasty words, the summary meeting was over. Xiao Haishan was relieved, and immediately moved quickly towards his team members, he just saw that his team members had gathered a lot of weapons and ammunition. In a narrow victory, the Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas in the valley captured the most weapons and ammunition, but among these weapons and ammunition, there were almost no long-range attack weapons such as machine guns and grenadiers.

When Xiao Haishan rushed to his subordinates, he was just in time for Lu Yuan to explain the use and precautions of the Japanese grenadiers to some guerrillas, and it was difficult to find grenadiers at the battle scene full of corpses and the smell of blood, which did not mean that there were no grenadiers in Lu Yuan's storage space. "The grenadier of the Japanese army was essentially a light mortar, its main feature was a large angle of fire, a curved trajectory, just a short range. This weapon is mainly used to kill and injure the enemy hiding behind fortifications and concealments or to kill and injure the enemy's living forces at a long distance. And it is very stealthy, and can be launched behind obstacles in concealment. ”

As he spoke, Lu Yuan used the strip-shaped stone in his right hand to explain the operation process of the grenadier to the guerrillas gathered around him, "You take a good look, when the grenadier is fired, the shooter will first pull the firing rod here, and then the ammunition hand will load the ammunition from the mouth of the barrel to complete the installation of the ammunition. The shooter holds the launcher in his left hand, turns the handle according to the target distance until the adjustment lever reaches the corresponding length, and then the shooter takes a rough aim through the aiming line, and pulls the belt on the shooter to shoot *. ”

After two consecutive operations, Lu Yuan handed the grenadier and stones in his hand to a guerrilla on his side, and motioned to the other party to demonstrate the operation process of the grenadier barrel. "Everyone is optimistic, although the Japanese military stipulates that the grenadier is launched by two people, but in reality, one person can also complete the grenadier launch independently." The grenadiers and stones were quickly passed through among the partisans, whether they were smooth or slightly jerky, but at least they were no strangers to grenadiers.

When the grenadier returned to his hand, Lu Yuan took out a grenadier * for everyone to see, "This is the special * for the Japanese grenadier canister, this grenadier canister* is cylindrical in shape, it is an all-cast iron shell, and the vertical and horizontal grooves on the shell divide the projectile into 50 pieces. Don't look at this thing, but it is filled with more than 6 grams of TNT*, and once it explodes, it will be within six to eight meters of the explosion point. ”

Lu Yuan then took a captured Japanese* from the waist of a guerrilla, "This is the Japanese Taisho 10th style*, this kind of * can replace the grenadier *, although the lethality is not as good as the special *, but at least it is farther than throwing your arms." In order to verify his words, Lu Yuan pointed the grenadier in his hand at the uninhabited hillside in front of everyone, and then took off the safety bolt of the Japanese army*, and stuffed * into the grenadier according to the operation process he just said.

The guerrillas on Lu Yuan's side could only hear a sound, and Lu Yuan's * that had slipped into the grenadier had already come out of his disembowel, and a cloud of dust rose from the hillside more than 100 meters away. "Mr. Lu, this thing looks better than a mortar, at least it will be very convenient to move." Xiao Haishan squeezed through the crowd, reached out and took the grenadier that was still hot, and played with it, which was lighter than a rifle, making Xiao Haishan realize the mobility of this equipment.

"That's right, this thing is lighter than the Japanese army's 38 rifle, and a person can carry it at the same speed as usual. Once you confront the enemy, you can hide behind hidden objects and attack the enemy from a distance. Although the attack distance of more than 100 meters is a bit chicken, it is better than letting everyone shoot at close range with the Japanese soldiers, you know, the marksmanship of the Japanese soldiers is not bad. ”

Lu Yuan's words made Xiao Haishan nod frequently, but he then pulled Lu Yuan aside and told Lu Yuan about the summary meeting just now. "Captain Xiao, I'm just a passerby, that's your internal matter, I can't give you any advice. How to do it, the decision is entirely up to you, I can't help you. Lu Yuan directly rejected Xiao Haishan, and he already had a sense of detachment in his heart, Lu Yuan didn't want to be involved in the internal affairs of the Eighth Route Army.
