Chapter 149: Theoretical Teachings
So on this night, the new army soldiers, who had taken a shower and started to take cultural classes in the canteen as usual, were surprised to find that the original literacy and arithmetic classes had suddenly changed.
The literacy and arithmetic teachers who had already begun to give lectures, after a few brief conversations with the instructors who had come to the cafeteria, moved out of the way of the lectern and let the instructors they were familiar with come to the podium with a few strange long sticks made of wood and metal that they could not understand.
In order to make up for the lack of instructors who are familiar with rifles, Xia Lin also came to the classroom of the third company of the first battalion, in addition to the lack of manpower, on the other hand, Xia Lin should try his best to establish his presence in the new army and integrate into this group of recruits, so as to facilitate his next plan.
"Hey! Bard, what do you say Boss Xia Lin is doing with those sticks?"
The classrooms in the New Army barracks are four open-air canteens with a capacity of 400 battalion-sized units, and the whole body is made of brick and wood structure, and there are no walls on the other three sides except for the storeroom, which seems to be a little leaky every night.
Under the long plank-made straw canopy, there are two additional pillars at intervals to provide additional support, through which the areas where the company conducts classes are divided.
In the two dining halls, new long tables, chairs and benches were placed, the podium was hung with a blackboard on the window for eating during the day, and the lighting was a shimmering rune plate suspended from the ceiling.
Because of the rush of time, the quality of such a canteen and a large classroom is not good, but it is enough to use.
The squad where Bard and his comrades-in-arms belonged was in the 3rd Company of the 1st Infantry Battalion of the New Army selected by Xia Lin, and after this period of rigorous training, the same background and the spirit of unity and cooperation emphasized by the New Army had formed a preliminary comradeship between them.
"Blau, if you want to be deducted from your salary and punished, just say it, don't involve us! Xia Lin's old ...... Bah! Didn't Deputy Head Xia Lin already say it several times? There are no bosses and employees in the new army, only deputy commanders and soldiers!"
Bard almost said the forbidden title in the new army, and quickly corrected it and said it to his roommate and comrade-in-arms seriously.
"Don't worry! We are sitting so far away, how can Deputy Head Xia Lin hear it!"
Wells Madden, another member of the 1311 class of the New Army, said with a hint of laziness.
"Anyway, you give me a little attention, if you get caught, it's not a joke! The squad leader and deputy squad leader will definitely tear a few of us alive!"
In the previous ten days of training, Bard had already been fined twice for salaries and a total of 20 laps of long-distance running, and he was really happy about the punishment of the new army.
Running away is nothing with his physical fitness, but if he takes home less than these silver mar, how should he explain it to his mother and sister? Do you want to say, "Mom, your son didn't do well in the new army and was deducted from his salary"?
Thinking of this embarrassing scene, he solemnly warned his comrades-in-arms.
"Shhhh Cooper and Dinny, we recommended them to be the squad leader and deputy squad leader, but as soon as they became officers, they managed us every day, and sure enough, they wore big-brimmed hats, and they felt different when they lived in the dormitory for two! I knew we might as well have made Bard the squad leader!"
Hearing Bard's words, Wells glanced at the two non-commissioned officers with big-brimmed hats sitting on either side of the bench and looking intently at Xia Lin, and complained quietly and dissatisfiedly.
"What kind of class leader am I, I can't even count more than twenty, and I can't read! Didn't I hear the battalion commander of Ji Xiu'an say that there must be a cultural foundation for the promotion of officers?"
When Bard heard Wells's words, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly vetoed.
After listening to the words of the officer who had brought his own things, Bard wanted to behave better and try to become an officer after the training.
But when he saw the crooked letters and numbers on the blackboard, his mind went blank, and he didn't feel like Cooper and Dinny, who had attended a literacy class run by the Templar church.
"Wells, don't
In this way, Cooper and Dinny are also in charge of us all day long for our own good, and their double dormitory with desks as class leaders and deputy class leaders is also to carry out the things explained above!"
At this time, another soldier in Bard's class, Pearlman Gordon, whispered admonishment, and Rhodes, the youngest in class 1311 beside him, nodded in agreement.
"Perform what? Just let us fill out those weird "file forms" every day?"
Hearing his words, Wells pursed his lips, yawned, and turned his sleepy attention to Xia Lin on the podium.
At this time, Xia Lin had just written on the blackboard behind him a line of big characters "Military Skills Training - 1391 Type 2 Rifle Disassembly, Maintenance, Assembly Process and Detailed Explanation of the User Manual".
Then he put down the chalk and patted the chalk ash on his hands, and looked around at the young and immature faces in this open-air classroom, or mature and steady, although the environment was simple, but there was a feeling in his heart that he had taken classes in his university alma mater in his previous life.
However, this delicate mood came and went quickly, and then Xia Lin pointed to the stacked "Type 1391 Type 2 Rifle User Manual" in the corner of the podium:
"Who is the commander of the 13th Company? Organize your squad leaders to hand out these manuals, one for each person!"
"Yes! Deputy Head Xia Lin! Schulz, Van Man, Dranyas! You and your squad leaders go up and get the manual!"
With Xia Lin's words, a young man with a short stature but strong momentum immediately stood up from the first row of seats, and said to several non-commissioned officers sitting in the first row.
Since the training of recruits had not yet been completed, the epaulette system had not yet been implemented in the new army, and Xia Lin could not identify their specific ranks.
It's just that this young man he knew, and knew that he was one of the twenty security guards who had been trained at the beginning, and his name seemed to be Sanoa Potter, who seemed to have some Saine blood, and now it seems that he was appointed by Lai Yin as the commander of the third company.
Looking at the thick stack of "Type 1391 Type 2 Rifle User Manual" being handed out, Xia Lin picked up the whip and tapped on the blackboard, and asked:
"Do you know what these letters mean?"
"Know!"
"I don't know!"
"Not fully understood!"
A noisy and chaotic answer came, Xia Lin couldn't help but smile and said:
"People you know are very good, but people you don't know still have to strengthen their studies, and the soldiers of the new army cannot be illiterate in the future, even if they are not interested in learning, they must learn 500 common words, and learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 100 to be considered qualified!
Otherwise, you don't even know the words of "Military Skills Training - Disassembly, Maintenance, Assembly Process and Detailed Explanation of the User Manual of the Type 1391 Type 2 Rifle", how can you learn new knowledge?
I spent a lot of copper money printing the "Type 1391 Type 2 Rifle User Manual" you can't read, if you forget some of the things you learned today, and you don't have any comrades around, how can you maintain your weapons and eliminate possible faults?"
In the atmosphere where the recruits below looked at each other, Xia Lin picked up a Type 2 rifle, and the Type 2 rifle with an integrated design of the body and butt was 1.1, which looked like a strangely shaped stick and explained:
"Do you know what this is? This is the weapon that every soldier of our new army is equipped with, the Type 1391 Type 2 rifle!"
Rifle?
Hearing Xia Lin's words, except for a few company-platoon-level officers who had been exposed to rifles in their previous training, the recruits in the audience were a little puzzled by this unfamiliar word.
"The rifle is unlike anything we've seen before, and if we want to make an analogy, it should be said to be similar to the bow and crossbow, except that the bow and crossbow fire arrows, and this rifle fires 9.64 caliber paper-shelled lead bullets!"
Saying that, Xia Lin held up a board of cardboard shell fixed ammunition and a few scattered bullets that were fixed to the bridge clamp:
"This is the ammunition fired by the Type 2 rifle, and if you want to use the Type 2 rifle to fire bullets, there are specific operations
Three steps.
First, open the magazine, clamp the bridge clip in this position, and press the paper shell bullet into the magazine by hand for rapid reloading, or you can reload it in a single shot, and then close the magazine to complete the loading step.
Second, open the safe, take a gun-holding position, and then keep your eyes in a straight line with this black depression and the bulge at the tip of the barrel, this depression is called the illumination, this bulge is called the front sight, and this step is called aiming.
Remember, don't turn your guns on your teammates at any time!
Third, once you've finished aiming at the enemy, pull the trigger with your index finger and you're ready to fire!"
Xia Lin explained while demonstrating the specific steps of using the Type 2 rifle, and the recruits below listened a little ignorantly, and Xia Lin didn't pay too much attention to it:
"Tomorrow you'll actually be using this new weapon! When the shooting range instructor arrives, he will explain it to you again.
Now let's learn how to disassemble and maintain the Type 2 rifle, and then assemble it back together, now let's turn to page 4 of the manual!"
Although Bard below did not understand the specific steps explained by Xia Lin, he still tried to listen attentively, even if he did not have the hope of becoming an officer, he did not want to lose his mother's face in the army.
Following Xia Lin's instructions to the fourth page, Bud saw a pile of drawings, numbers, and annotations of parts, which he was particularly curious to see, these simple numbers Bud knew, but he didn't recognize the pictures like this and the words below.
"Our Type 2 rifle has a total of twenty-nine parts, the most important of which is this Flame Rune Disk, which is worth tens of silver mar, so if you encounter damage to your rifle, you must remember to dismantle the Flame Rune Disk and give it to your commander to recycle it to the logistics department.
In addition to this, there are triggers, bolts, and feed bullets...... structure, these things must be extremely familiar to each of you in the future, to the extent that you can quickly disassemble the rifle and quickly assemble it back......
With Xia Lin's explanation, the ignorant recruits of the first battalion and the third company slowly established a basic understanding of rifles, but there is still a long way to go before they can reach the level of familiarity with this new weapon.
