Chapter 7: The Village is Busy Training (2)

"The Hanyang-made rifle, also known as the old sleeve rifle, is based on the German Type 1888 Commission rifle, because it was originally produced by the Hanyang Arsenal in China and gradually circulated to all regions of the country, so everyone calls it Hanyang-made." In the shade of the wheat field in the afternoon, Zhang Yun introduced the Hanyang-made rifle in his hand to the whole platoon of recruits.

"The gun has a total length of 1520 mm, a barrel length of 740 mm, a gun weighing more than eight pounds, a 7.92 * 57 mm round-headed bullet, a muzzle velocity of 600 meters per second, an effective range of 800 meters, and a ruler range of 1800 meters. At present, most of the Chinese troops in the national battlefield are using this rifle, and his 7.92 mm round-nosed bullet has a wide source, and our platoon has sufficient ammunition, so we will have to deal with it in the future. This is a weapon that we must master to use. ”

"Remember, compared with the 38 big cover, the accuracy of the Hanyang-made rifle is slightly insufficient, but the bullet is powerful, and it is a big round hole when it hits, so we can just hit the devil in the chest when we hit the devil."

"These rifles have been in use for some time, and the rifling is worn out and their accuracy has decreased. But it doesn't matter, a plaster that can pull out pus is a good plaster, and yesterday we veterans killed 13 devils with these old weapons. Now the guys in our hands are not enough to use, and they are not good enough, everyone use them first, and when you are proficient in weapons, I will take you to get a new gun. ”

"Good", "Good! The recruits were mobilized and motivated, and Zhang Yun also took advantage of the situation to step down, and asked several squad leaders to lead people to separate the team, each teaching everyone how to maintain firearms and how to aim, and also briefly introduced a few tactical movements.

"Changqing, I have to find someone to make some wooden cards tonight, and I will start shooting targets tomorrow", Zhang Yun was busy with the deployment work in every detail. Deputy platoon commander Liu Changqing nodded yes, and then turned around to find Lao Tang. This kind of thing, it is better to let the old Tang who is in charge of logistics come forward to mobilize the villagers to do it.

Then everyone was busy and didn't talk about it......

The next day, after practicing the queue and tactical movements, the recruits came to the Houshan shooting range and began their first live shooting. In addition to the veterans sent to guard, the deputy platoon commander arranged for other veterans to watch from the side, while guiding the recruits to prevent accidents, after all, it is a live firing, and if you are not careful, you will have an accident.

The recruits were then given five rounds each, which were stuffed in as required, and the safety was turned on and aimed. It then returns three rounds, and after two shots, it is replenished with three rounds and then fires are resumed.

"Knock", "Knock", "Knock", "Knock"

The recruits' first shot was really miserable, not many of them were on target, and they were even more hurried when it came to the reloading link, and when everyone finally finished firing five bullets, their heads were sweating.

The veterans watched from the side, twitching in distress, most of the veterans really went to the battlefield after firing five bullets, and some even fired their first bullets on the battlefield. Seeing the recruits so bullets, everyone was distressed and envious.

"Recruits go down, veterans come out!" The deputy platoon commander shouted.

The veterans stood on the target platform, holding newly captured Type 38 rifles in their hands, each with five rounds of ammunition stuffed into the magazine.

"Shoot"

"Pap, pap, papa, papa, pap", the veterans really have good marksmanship, they are all on the target, and many of them have scored eight or nine rings. Such an achievement, on the one hand, is that the quality of veterans is very high, and their marksmanship is generally good, and on the other hand, the Type 38 rifle has a small caliber, low recoil, and high accuracy, which is very suitable for East Asian races, and everyone is very comfortable to fight.

"It's really a good gun", a group of big treasures held the rifle in his hand, looked at the 10-ring gun holes on the target in the distance, and closed his mouth happily. The veterans on the target table had the same expressions, full of satisfaction with the rifles in their hands. These veterans have not touched other rifles, whether they are British or French, but they are all old weapons seized from the Kuomintang, and there is a general problem of rifling and wear. Now the brand-new 38 style has really impressed the hearts of veterans with its precision and silkiness of pulling the bolt.

"Comrades, the Type 38 rifle has a high muzzle velocity and strong penetrating power, and it is very good to hit a distant target, but it will be easy to pass through a close target, and it will be two eyes with one shot. So if you need to shoot at a close enemy, you can use a bayonet to lightly slash the bullet's bullet head a few times, leaving some marks, which can increase the lethality. However, such bullets are not very accurate at a distance, so everyone has to control them for themselves." Zhang Yun watched from the side and added a few words in a timely manner, after all, the veteran was also the first time to touch the 38 big cover, and he didn't know enough about the performance of the gun.

Subsequently, the veterans took the recruits back to the wheat field to continue to familiarize themselves with firearms, and practice tactical actions such as aiming, standing shooting, and lying shooting. In the afternoon, they also need to practice throwing grenades, digging foxholes, trenches, changing tactical formations, etc. There are so many things that recruits need to learn, and these are their skills to save their lives and kill enemies on the battlefield.

At this time, Lao Tang took the little soldiers to the shooting range to recover the bullet casings. These yellow shells are useless for the time being, but they are also copper, and they are very valuable. In the future, the Eighth Route Army Arsenal can reload bullets, and you can also use them to find the arsenal to exchange bullets. As the big butler, Lao Tang must help the troops calculate these detailed accounts.

However, Zhang Yun didn't pay attention to this, he was confident that after a while, everyone could always use new ammunition, and even hand over a lot of it to his superiors to help his brother troops solve some ammunition problems.

After all, we are also hanging people!

……

For 10 consecutive days, Zhang Yun and the recruit platoon practiced in Xiaowang Village. After all, war is not a joke, these recruits are still a long way from qualified soldiers, and it is impossible for Zhang Yun to take recruits to the battlefield in order to satisfy his own enthusiasm or to simply verify the more role of the plug-in system.

Learning things on the battlefield is faster than the training ground, but you need to use life and blood to learn, and the concept formed by Zhang Yun in later generations made him pay more attention to the lives of soldiers.

However, Zhang Yun did not just focus on military training, but always paid attention to the surrounding situation. While training the new recruits, Zhang Yun had already arranged for a few veterans to set off in disguise to several surrounding towns and villages, gradually finding out the surrounding situation and understanding the changes in the situation of the enemy and us. Zhang Yun planned to use the Japanese puppet army in several surrounding villages and towns to train his hands while protecting himself.

Compared with the various strong strongholds and perfect communication channels of the little devils in the middle and late stages of the Anti-Japanese War, as well as the extremely rapid support speed, the little devils are still putting most of their minds on the battles with various units of the Kuomintang. At present, many county towns and towns are actually occupied by various scattered troops, traitors and bandits.

These troops are soft persimmons, as long as the number of recruits is not large, there is no problem for Zhang Yun to take it down, the only problem is that it must be clear whether it is occupied by Kuomintang troops or bandits, if you accidentally beat the Kuomintang troops, you may be criticized for destroying the situation of the unified war of resistance.
