In the sixth week of the training camp on Lamma Island, Li Yutang sent Tan Jiu to send 30 rifles, all of which were Mauser Gew-98s requested by Qiao Guoqiang.

A full set of bayonets, straps, maintenance kits, and 10,000 matching pointed bullets.

When the guns were in hand, Qiao Guoqiang did not immediately teach them to shoot with live ammunition.

Because before shooting, these people have to learn ... Wipe the gun!

"I've taught you all the theories of firearms before." Qiao Guoqiang held a Mauser G98 rifle, looked at everyone and said, "Before using a gun, you have to learn how to maintain firearms." ”

"The more the times develop, the more sophisticated the weapons, the more likely it is to go wrong!" Qiao Guoqiang took off the bolt as he spoke, and then disassembled the bolt into several parts and placed them on the table one by one.

"If you don't take good care of your weapon in normal times, then when it's time to fight, he'll hold you back. If it doesn't ring when it's supposed to, then..."

He looked at the 30 trainees and said coldly, "You should die." ”

"From today on, you..." Pointing to the 30 students, he explained, "Wherever you go, you have to carry a gun." Whether it's eating, sleeping, going to the thatched house, or going to the beach to bathe, take it with you. ”

"Did you hear that?"

"Yes, Instructor!"

"This morning, let's first disassemble and assemble the rifle, and do it fifty times each!" Qiao Guoqiang assigned the task: "I hope that you will be able to complete the disassembly and assembly of independent rifles within one minute after a month." Now, follow my movements...."

This group of people are either educated or have been soldiers for many years. It's pretty quick to learn how to operate a firearm. In one morning, Qiao Guoqiang taught everyone how to disassemble and assemble rifles, and let them practice fifty times on their own.

After lunch, the cadets arrived at the training chief with rifles loaded with bayonets and pointed at the scarecrow on the stake.

"The bayonet is fast-in, fast-out!" After saying that, Qiao Guoqiang made a stab, and then quickly retracted it!

Looking at a group of students, Qiao Guoqiang taught: "The thorn is an injury, and if you take it back, it will be another injury!" ”

"If you stab the opponent with a knife and find that the opponent can still move, it means that his damage is not deep!" He sneered and said, "At this time, don't think about continuing to stab the bayonet inside." "Because then the closer you get to him, the more you might be killed by his waist knife or bayonet."

"At this time, there are two ways to do it. One is churning! Qiao Guoqiang stabbed the bayonet into the scarecrow, and then twisted the rifle left and right. Let the bayonet stir in the opponent's body, and he will be in pain. Even if I want to die with you, I have no heart. ”

"The second is to take back the bayonet. Retracting it can make the wound you just poked in bigger and bleed more. ”

"Instructor!" Li Chongguang asked, "What if the bayonet is withdrawn and the other party still does not die?" ”

"Then stab him again!" Qiao Guoqiang said: "Aim at the heart and poke it!" ”

Taking the gun back, Qiao Guoqiang took off the bayonet and said to everyone, "Remind you that the bayonet should not be sharpened too sharply." ”

"Because when you grind it, it destroys the blue on it. During night and day marches, the reflection of the blade can easily reveal your position. ”

Another reason is that it doesn't hurt if it's too sharp, and it hurts when a blunt knife cuts meat.

Early the next morning, five people, including Li Chongguang and Chen Shaobai, were called up and pulled to the kitchen.

Looking at the black pig tied to the shelf, Qiao Guoqiang said, "With a bayonet, it hurts to death!" You can! ”

A few people were stunned, and then raised their bayonets...

Looking at Chen Shaobai and Li Chongguang, who were pale with pale faces, Qiao Guoqiang patted twice and encouraged: "Come a few more times, you won't be afraid when you see those outlaws in the Qing court." You won't want others to protect you, and the human resources that protect you can be freed up for other work. ”

After taking turns killing chickens, it became the norm in the camp to take turns killing pigs with bayonets.

After the second and third cohorts graduated, this became a completely traditional training camp tradition, and this tradition was carried forward to the future HuangPu Military Academy.

A pig can be eaten for three days, and at this time the fresh meat cannot be preserved, so every time a pig is killed, these people will eat cruel poisonous meat. Correspondingly, the intensity of the training will also increase.

After two weeks of eating and sleeping with guns in their arms, and teaching math and geometry, the students began to practice with live ammunition.

After practicing two 100 secretary shots, Qiao Guoqiang changed the distance to one hundred and fifty meters.

This time, there were a third fewer people on target.

"Keep your hands steady and your eyes aim! Three points and one line, when the enemy and the crosshair coincide, shoot again! ”

"Bang!" Qiao Guoqiang raised his hand and shot a fist-sized stone on the target one hundred and fifty meters away.

"Within a hundred meters, as long as you put the enemy's figure inside the ruler, you can basically hit it. But at longer distances, you need to aim, and when you are proficient, you can shoot with your hand raised, and you will be able to shoot. ”

"The failure of the land operations in the First Sino-Japanese War was, on the one hand, low morale and insufficient logistics, and on the other hand, the reason was that the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty would not aim at all." It's always frustrating to think back to history.

"They just know how to point the muzzle of the gun roughly in the direction of the enemy and pull the trigger, and the hit is completely by luck!"

"On the contrary, the Japanese soldiers, because most of them have received modern Western-style education, they have completely mastered the three points and one line and the amount of lifting, and the distance and accuracy of shooting are more than a dozen streets in the Qing Dynasty!"

Theoretical training is really important, a 100-meter target, these are all on target.

From the first year to the 45th year, the Japanese army's marksmanship was better than that of the soldiers of the Celestial Empire. Why? Because people know how to aim!

In 1907, elementary school education was universalized in Japan, and all young people of conscription age knew basic plane geometry, four mathematical operations, and could read simple maps. This kind of soldier source and receptivity in learning and training are more than ten times that of those strong men captured in China.

Therefore, it is understandable that the war is fought into that virtue.

"The firing distance of the Japanese infantry is 300 meters!" Qiao Guoqiang said this number, which was studied by those military fans in later generations based on historical materials.

"The fastest sprint speed of a person in 100 meters is 11 seconds, and you have to march with a weapon, which is estimated to be about 18 seconds." Qiao Guoqiang asked, "Do you know what it means?" ”

Looking at the puzzled thirty students, Qiao Guoqiang explained: "This means that once you are at war with the Japanese army. Before the Japanese come into their range, the Japanese soldiers can shoot at you 9 to 10 times, and all accurate! ”

"Ten lives are not enough to die!"

After a target shooting and finding out the level of everyone, the subsequent training was improved, increasing the time for aiming according to the gun and various applied shooting actions.

Physical fitness in the morning, bayonet fighting in the morning, and fighting in the evening are still thunderous every day, and rowing, swimming, and horseback riding are alternately present every afternoon.

The 10,000 rounds of rifle ammunition sent by Li Yutang, Qiao Guoqiang arranged for them to shoot 10 rounds a day, and finally, when everyone fired 30 rounds, most of them could hit the target of 200 meters.

When Tan Jiu arranged for someone to deliver food, Li Yutang would write a letter to Qiao Guoqiang to ask for advice on business matters.

This time, Toa Si sent a letter to Qiao Guoqiang.

The letter said that he had found a way to buy a 500-ton steam clipper according to Qiao Guoqiang's words and killed a fin whale in the waters of Baodao. He also used the method provided by Qiao Guoqiang to make soap and candles, and the whale meat was also snapped up by residents of Hong Kong Island because it was cheap.

He thought the deal could go on, and he planned to continue buying whaling boats to make soap, candles, and whale meat.

When the world war that Qiao Guoqiang said broke out, he used whale meat to make canned food.

In addition, the craftsmen he invited from the Sailor Shipyard in the mainland began to test the production of matches according to the ideas provided by Qiao Guoqiang before, and I believe that it will soon be successful.

Three months later, the 30 members of the Xingzhong Society had completed their training goals, and according to Qiao Guoqiang's ideas, they were at least a bit of a soldier.

Each of them learned to ride horses, shoot, fight bayonets, throw bombs, basic sanda and sword fighting.

Then, Qiao Guoqiang let the lottery draw!

"20 targets, randomly drawn, and act!"

Letting these people choose the targets of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to attack was probably the method of the terrorists and guerrillas in later generations.

To do this is to make them see blood! As long as they have seen blood, they are veterans!

30 people, in groups of six, took turns entering the mainland and attacking Manchu targets. In order to win over Han officials, the targets they chose were all the children of the Eight Banners and the property of the Manchu princes.

For a month, there were attacks on the ground in Guangzhou Prefecture almost every day.

Either this leader was shot cold, or that Ezhen was thrown a bomb.

The most famous is that a Manchu Beile Ye was tied up with a meat ticket, and then the Guangzhou prefect sent someone to save people.

As a result, after the kidnappers killed more than a dozen people in various traps, dozens of them were killed by cold guns and bombs.

As a last resort, the prefect could only arrange for the middleman to pay the money before redeeming the person.

However, the redemption of that Belle Lord is also invalid.

That Baylor castrated the kidnappers. It is said that it is revenge for them who dare to report to the official!

For a time, the children of the Eight Banners in eastern Guangdong Province were all in danger, for fear that they would be the next to suffer.
