The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 714 Training Machine Gun
Then the topic talked about the recent situation of the 28th regiment.

Chief of Staff Xu Guoan received the news from Jizhong.

"Old Kong, according to the news about the concentration, just a day ago, Lao Lu led the 28th Regiment, and with the assistance of the monk and Duan Peng, he started a large-scale military training in the whole regiment."

"In addition, I heard that the 28th regiment is also planning to follow the path of our independent regiment. It has begun to streamline its troops and streamline its administration, and has begun to hoard food and supplies to deal with the increasingly serious disaster."

Kong Jie listened, pondered in silence, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

Now Kongda pipes no longer use the previous bongs.

The level of the independent group has improved, and its own tobacco factory can produce cigarettes. Can Kong Jie be wronged?
The cadres of the tobacco factory specially pick some good ones to send to Kong Jie every time.

After a burst of swallowing, Kong Jie said slowly:

"The brigade commander once said a word, and I very much agree with it.

War is a test for the endurance of a nation. Both we and Japan are enduring through exhaustion. It's just to see who has more endurance!

Perhaps for us now, we have reached the moment when we need patience the most.

In the days to come, we will not only be fighting against the Japanese invaders, I am afraid we will also add more serious disasters to endure the hardships of survival. "

Having said that, Kong Jie looked at Li Wenjie and asked:

"Wenjie, we need to go further and speed up our expansion of grain purchase channels to the southwest!"

"Currently, the disasters in various places are getting more and more serious. Natural disasters, diseases, and man-made disasters caused by wars are mixed together. This is an unprecedented disaster."

"I only hate that our first team can do so little, that we can't rescue all the suffering people and the troops who are struggling to survive. All we can do is do our best."

"Don't be reluctant to part with your family. I also told Xu Qingnian in the finance department that as long as a certain amount of funds are left, we can barely maintain the economic operation of our base area in all aspects.

Don't feel bad about the rest of the money, just spend it all.

Now facing the disaster situation, only by exchanging tickets for food can our soldiers and civilians truly feel at ease. "

"Hey! Don't worry, leader, I will arrange all these things."

Li Wenjie nodded solemnly.

Kong Jie was naturally assured of the ability of political commissar Li Wenjie.

With Li Wenjie and Xu Guoan around, he saves a lot of trouble. He only needs to be his own shopkeeper, show the wisdom standing on the shoulders of giants, and take command of the overall situation.

"By the way, Old Xu, there are monks and Duan Peng on the side of the 28th Regiment's military training. They are not lacking in our independent regiment's training experience. Right now, we lack some equipment needed for training."

"Then send over a batch of shotgun ammunition for our training gunners and machine gunners, and also send over some blank ammunition for training that we collect from bullet casings dropped on the battlefield."

"The conditions of the 28th regiment are difficult, lack of equipment for training, and they are reluctant to practice with live ammunition."

"Send these training guns and blank ammunition to the soldiers, and the training efficiency of the soldiers can also be improved."

"it is good!"

Xu Guoan responded, and smiled again: "Training equipment, to be honest, I am envious when I hear it, when did our army have this condition?

In the past, I either practiced aiming with a gun or trained with a wooden gun. When firearms were scarce, many soldiers had never even touched a real gun when they went to the battlefield. "

"Directly serve as a reserve team. The soldiers in front died before rushing up to pick up the dropped guns. The first time they touched a gun, they participated in the battle."

"If earlier, we had the current conditions and got the training in place, our soldiers would not have suffered so many casualties."

Kong Jie said: "Yes, the improvement of our current conditions and training situation can be said to be paved by the blood and sacrifices of the martyrs."

"We should cherish it even more, and get the training in place earlier, so that the soldiers will not go to the battlefield without even touching the gun."

"Well, sure!"

"By the way, old Kong, there was news from the Armory Workshop two days ago, saying that a batch of training machine guns has been completed. Do you want to send some to the 28th regiment now?"

What is a training machine gun?

It is a simple training machine gun produced for the purpose of training the machine gunners of the troops, and the real machine guns in the simulated combat used when training the machine gunners.

The most fundamental purpose of developing this kind of training machine gun stems from the scarcity of equipment and ammunition of the Eighth Route Army.

In order to save ammunition, soldiers can really touch the training firearms similar to machine guns before going to the battlefield, so that they are familiar with combat.

The training machine gun of the independent regiment was found in the devil's warehouse after the soldiers laid down a gun tower some time ago.

At first glance, it looks like a devil's Taisho 11-year light machine gun, that is, a crooked handle.

It's just that when the soldiers took a closer look, they were completely different from the crooked machine gun. Compared with the devil's crooked machine gun, this gun looked like an oversimplified toy gun.

Normal 6.5mm bullets can't be fired at all.

What's even more strange is that this kind of firearm, which is similar to a crooked target machine gun, uses a magazine to feed the ammunition.

After the soldiers took this kind of firearm back, they sent it to the regiment headquarters, but Kong Jie shouted that he had found a treasure.

In the teaching class, as a lecturer, Kong Jie introduced to the cadres:

"This is the little devil's southern-style training machine gun, a training machine gun imitating a crooked machine gun, specially used for training gunners."

"Japan, a small country, is actually very scarce in resources. The little devil wants to train an excellent machine gunner, but he is reluctant to consume a lot of bullets, so he developed this training rifle."

"In order to simplify the structure of the firearm, the gun did not adopt the gas-guided automatic principle of the crooked handle, but changed it to a simple free bolt type, and canceled the complicated milling receiver and funnel type ammunition supply of the crooked handle. .”

"It was changed to a magazine for ammunition, and the threaded heat sink on the barrel was also canceled to save manufacturing hours."

"In addition, because the structure of this gun is too simplified, it cannot fire normal 6.5mm bullets, so it can only use blank bullets for training."

"In other words, this kind of gun is basically incapable of killing people."

"However, if it is used for training, it is quite effective. You can use the most economical blank ammunition to train machine gunners who are familiar with crooked machine guns. With some live ammunition practice later, it is easy to train machine gunners. Find a qualified machine gunner."

"Production!"

At the end of the teaching class, Kong Jie directly made a decision:

"The little devils know how to use this kind of training machine gun to train soldiers, and our independent regiment can't be worse."

"We also produce this kind of training machine gun, including simplified rifles for training, and we also have to produce blank ammunition for training."

"We can't let the soldiers have not fired a single bullet before going to the battlefield. We really can't afford it. Let's use recycled bullet casings to reinstall the blank ammunition assembly?"

……

Back to the front, there is also the training machine gun that Chief of Staff Xu Guoan said.

"Send it, of course we have to send a batch, so that the comrades in Jizhong can also taste the sweetness of training machine guns."

After Kong Jie finished speaking, he explained his long-term follow-up plan to Xu Guoan and Li Wenjie.

"The large-scale military training of the 28th regiment, I guess, is just the beginning, just like in our Taihang area, our independent regiment started the large-scale military training first, so as to drive the surrounding troops to follow suit and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops."

"For Jizhong this time, the 28th Regiment took the lead in carrying out large-scale training. Once the effect is realized, other units in Jizhong will definitely follow up with training."

"That's the end result we want to see."

"The comrades in Jizhong now have authentic tactics, but they still lack training. Only when the overall training is solid can the combat effectiveness be quickly improved to deal with the subsequent large-scale raids that the Japanese army may launch on Jizhong at any time. "

Kong Jie is still worrying about the upcoming May Day sweep.

And what he can do is to make as many preparations as possible...
