Volume 6: "I Am the Legend" (II) Chapter 59: The Bloody Battle of Coranto (1)
Alberta discovered that this pistol looked strange and differed from all models of revolvers. According to common sense, a revolver can generally hold five rounds. And this pistol has an L-shaped shape. And the locking method of this pistol is to adopt the barrel rotation recoil type automatic barrel swing lock. The hammer firing method is adopted, and the trigger single action is used to fire one bullet at a time.
The handshake part of the pistol is located in the short hook position in the shape of the L, while the barrel is in the long hook position in the shape of the L. And this pistol is loaded from the barrel to the top of the magazine, that is, the handshake. A total of eight bullets are available.
Alberta found that there were more than 20 pistols per box. Of course, these pistol cases are small cases. Twenty boxes of pistols, that is, four hundred pistols. There are 500 rounds of pistol ammunition per box and 10,000 rounds of pistol ammunition in 20 boxes.
Finally, Alberta clearly saw that this pistol was called the Empire Pistol, the Type 881 Bird Pistol. Not only that, but in the innermost part of the cave, Alberta has found 100 sets of the latest binoculars of the imperial system. It can reach up to 32 times the distance.
Alberta did not dare to delay, he repeatedly instructed all the villagers who came, ordered and told them, almost a thousand instructions. This is an arms warehouse, an arms stash. All weapons must be handled with care. And carefully.
Alberta was the first to ship a heavy machine gun, as well as five light machine guns, and a hundred Manlich rifles with eight rounds. Alberta brought the guns back to the village of Aklan, and he used animal power and gathered all the 300 young men in the village to transport a total of two Okai heavy machine guns and ten Storm light machine guns in a whole day. and all five hundred of the latest eight-round reloading Manlich rifles.
And Alberta also went to great lengths to bring in a 20 mm hail rapid-fire cannon. Of course, the Hail rapid-fire cannon weighed too much, weighing more than half a ton. After dismantling the rapid-fire gun, it was transported by two horses, one of which transported the gun: the gun was mounted on wheels, and the horse pulled the rapid-fire gun away. The remaining horse loaded the parts and shells on the horse's back, and with great effort, finally pulled the cannon back.
By the time it got dark, Alberta had also transported twenty boxes of eight-millimeter rifle ammunition, as well as ten boxes of heavy machine-gun ammunition and two boxes of light machine-gun ammunition. Because the heavy machine gun bullet box is placed in the bullet box in a chain with 200 rounds of bullets, and the heavy machine gun bullet box is relatively small, the number of bullets has reached 3,200 rounds in only two boxes of light machine gun bullet boxes, while the ten boxes of bullets for heavy machine guns are only 2,000 rounds of bullets.
This is already the limit of the 300 villagers led by Alberta to carry weapons.
By the time Alberta returned to Akram Village, it was already dark. By dawn the next day, Alberta began training the 200 soldiers it had selected.
He took eight cavalrymen, of course, and removed Lieutenant Aikman Hokleide cavalry. Although his injury has improved, it is still some time before he recovers. He divided the eight cavalrymen into eight groups, each leading twenty-five soldiers for training. And the training content of the first day is a series of simple contents such as marching, marching, holding guns, raising guns, aiming, preparing to shoot, retracting the guns to their original positions, carrying guns, and marching in formation.
Alberta felt very wrong, and he even felt the power of Okoshen, and the uneasy entanglement around him, the molecular bonds were uneasily beating.
So Alberta said to the eight cavalrymen: "Eight of you, you need to simplify all the training methods, and train these soldiers to be able to shoot in combat in ten to fifteen days." ”
Second Lieutenant Sierhart said to Alberta, "That's a hard request...... A formed soldier needs at least three months of basic training! In order to achieve the basic action essentials and shooting essentials. And the first month can only be training in formation and marching and familiarization with guns. And the second month began to carry out various combat readiness postures and actions. Such as crawling forward, such as shooting on your back, etc...... It is only in the third month that various tactical moves, squad coordination, and so on begin...... Even if you have completed the training of these movement essentials, you may not be a qualified soldier. And it can only be considered a recruit. Qualified soldiers must go through more than half a year of training before they can hear the gunshots and not feel afraid. ”
Alberta nodded, then shook his head: "You can't be wrong. But I estimate that if we make such a big move to train our troops, within half a month, there will be rebels attacking us. ”
Second Lieutenant Sierhart pondered for a moment, then said, "You are right, I will step up the training of the soldiers as soon as possible. ”
So Sierhart went through devilish training. By the fifth day, all 200 soldiers had been training outside the village to shoot with live ammunition. When they started firing live ammunition, they felt that it was not easy. But they also knew that these weapons were the most advanced weapons of the Empire, and of course they knew that no matter what country they were, except for the Empire, there were no such advanced rifles. And in all countries except the Empire, they all use one-child rifles, that is, one-child rifles that can only hold one bullet in the magazine.
During these five days of training, Alberta discovered that he should not have to worry about things at all. Originally, he was worried that if these soldiers were trained by him, they would become another rebel army, or become a rebel army in the Fish and Meat Country. Then it wasn't what he wanted. But after five days of training for them, Alberta found that not only were the soldiers simple, but they could also carry out the orders given by Alberta.
So Alberta was relieved and bold to train them in various ways.
On the seventh day, the best of them was revealed. So Alberta selected almost thirty soldiers, three of whom in groups, operated light machine guns! Alberta brought back a total of 10 LMG guns, so in a group of three soldiers, one soldier was the LMG operator and one soldier was carrying a pistol, and was responsible for carrying ammunition for the LMG operator. The last soldier, as the leader of the machine-gun group, carried a Manlich rifle and binoculars. The leader of the machine gun group is responsible for using binoculars to direct the direction of enemy target firing, and the second is to carry a Manlich rifle and is responsible for continuing to return fire on the attacking enemy soldiers and protecting the gap for machine gun fire.
In addition, Alberta selected ten soldiers to serve as members of the heavy machine gun squad. A heavy machine gun squad consisted of five soldiers, with a squad leader carrying a Manlich rifle and binoculars as an observer and commanding squad leader. Two members of the heavy machine gun squad responsible for carrying disassembled parts of the Okai heavy machine gun and carrying the Manlich rifle. One of the shooters also carried parts of the disassembled Okai heavy machine gun and a pistol. There is also a heavy machine gun ammunition carrier, who is responsible for carrying two boxes of heavy machine gun ammunition, as well as a pistol.
It's time for battle, and the squad leader is responsible for observing and commanding. Two members of the Heavy Machine Gun Squad are responsible for supplemental firing at targets covered by heavy machine gun shifts or stops, or when non-heavy machine gun attacks are not focused. The Heavy controls the gun, while the Ammunition Operator changes and carries the ammunition. Alberta brought back two heavy machine guns from inside the cave. So he selected ten soldiers as members of two heavy machine-gun squads.
By the end of the tenth day, Alberta had begun to select another ten soldiers. This is ten soldiers, whom Alberta ordered to train to familiarize themselves with the hail rapid-fire machine gun. Of course, the Hail rapid-fire cannon is not difficult to operate. Because the range of this cannon is not too long, only about 3100 meters. And the complex control of shooting outside the line-of-sight, Alberta does not expect these soldiers to learn all at once. Because their opponents are mainly rebels, and the most powerful rebel forces are none other than the forces of General Athos's Guards, the rebels' Guards Regiment, but they only have old-fashioned breech guns, and they also don't shoot out of sight.
So Alberta trained the gun, which was a three-day operation, and the ten soldiers he selected were already fully capable of handling rapid-fire guns. Of course, it was limited to firing at targets within visual range, and an operation to change the magazine of the shell was carried out.
Of course, Alberta sensed that the enemy should be coming! That's because when Alberta trains its soldiers, it's a complete live-fire exercise. Later, around the thirteenth day, artillery fire was carried out again! It is impossible for such a big movement not to be discovered by people from other villages. Once discovered, the news will inevitably leak......
But Alberta was prepared. By this time, he had sent the remaining 100 young men in the village into two groups, one of 50 men to carry twenty boxes of grenades to the cave where the munitions were hidden. He also ordered the second group of 50 people to go to other villages to look for sacks, and found at least 1,000 sacks.
Not only that, but Alberta also ordered some middle-aged people in the village, who were not very old, as well as young adults with good legs, to reconnoiter the environment around the town of Artemt. Alberta ordered them to dress up in a certain way, and they were originally villagers, and they came to other villages close to Artemt, first, to reconnoiter Artemt, and secondly, to not reveal their identities. After all, they are locals, and they are not easy to find out when they come to other villages.
Alberta's main purpose in sending them to the villages near Artemt Town was to monitor and reconnoiter the movements of the rebels in Artemt, and to prepare in advance if the rebels attacked!
