The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 81 New Tactics and New Training

The battlefield was very calm. After the Japanese army was repulsed, not a single shot was fired. However, other positions on the Xinkou battlefield were fought as if they were boiling. The rumbling sounds of artillery, gunfire and shouts of killing surrounded the [-]th Division. Yanzhuang's position, but Yanzhuang's position was quiet without any sound, as if they were living on the spot during peacetime exercises. The soldiers had a good rest, and with the bounty paid out, the position was filled with "happy" atmosphere. Atmosphere.”

In the afternoon, He Wei naturally would not let this rare free time go. Training was something he had to do when he had time. Especially since he had improved the formation of the infantry squad and introduced the corps leader system, which he must carry out now. training, otherwise it is just a simple reorganization without any change in tactics, which is no different from no change.

After handing over the position to the second platoon for security, he led his platoon to the side of the position, with his back to the open space of Yanzhuang Village Wall. The first platoon now has strong troops and is targeting the sixth company. The regiment attached Chen Zhen repeated his old tricks and recruited people from the fourth and fifth companies to supplement the losses, and the sixth company was fully replenished.

However, after repeated reinforcements, there are not many people left in the fourth and fifth companies, and they only have a little more than two infantry platoons when they are full.

He Wei's first platoon not only replenished the battle casualties, but also brought a light machine gun with them. He Wei added him to the third squad, which just solved the problem of the third squad having no light machine gun. question.

Before doing tactical training, He Wei first improved the weapons and equipment. There is a saying that if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your weapons, and the same is true for war.

In order to facilitate movement, the bullet belts originally worn by the soldiers had been replaced by captured Japanese belt-type ammunition boxes. Although all the seizures from the last battle were handed over, He Wei had also led people to attack before. I went out to the trenches to pick up trophies once, but I did not hand over the seized items. The current infantry ammunition belt for individual soldiers of the Chinese army is one diagonally across the body and one around the waist. The entire individual soldier equipment can be described as a five-flowered bandage, which is very unfavorable for making Various tactical moves.

Although the Japanese leather bullet boxes have many problems, such as inconvenience when crawling, in general, they are still better than those of the national army.

The bullet carrying equipment was changed, and the number of grenades carried was also increased. In addition to the two grenades originally slung around the neck, each person also had two grenades pinned to the bullet box belt around his waist. The number of hand grenades carried by an individual soldier reached four. pellets.

There were also adjustments in equipment. He Wei used the guns left behind by his fallen brothers to ensure that everyone in the platoon had a gun. Previously, the weapons configuration of each squad in the first platoon was based on the standard infantry squad configuration of the German Armament Adjustment Division. , in this organization, the ammunition soldiers under the light machine gun team of the infantry squad do not have guns, they are just tool men carrying ammunition. In He Wei's view, this is really a hidden danger.

If an unexpected situation arises during the battle, these ammunition soldiers can only watch and be beaten without any ability to defend themselves and fight back. But when necessary, if these ammunition soldiers and Qinza brothers have guns in their hands, they can not only use It has self-defense capabilities and can also be used to fill the battle line when the number of riflemen on the front line of assault is insufficient.

Of course, it’s not that the national army doesn’t want to equip the ammunition soldiers in the light machine gun team. The national army also understands these principles, but the government’s financial resources are insufficient and it really cannot afford it.

In fact, in an infantry company of the Chinese army, the ratio of officers and soldiers with guns may only be about [-]%. The country is poor and does not have enough financial resources to equip the non-frontline combatants with weapons, ammunition soldiers in the infantry squad, and various other The orderlies are not armed.

Of course, this is not a problem for He Wei at the moment. When he ran back to the Sixth Company's position from the front, he brought back a lot of rifles. Together with the rifles left behind by the brothers who died in the battles, the number was enough to give him a lot of rifles. The gun brother is equipped with a rifle.

In this way, He Wei's platoon achieved one shot per man. Even Tao Heiwa, the little messenger in the platoon who had never had a gun, got the Mauser C96 rifle that He Wei had replaced!
"Prepare for an attack! Each squad forms a front triangle formation, spread out and advance!"

On the open ground, the squad leader of the second squad, Luo Youdao, shouted the attack command he had just learned from He Wei. With the command, the fourteen Ming soldiers of the second squad immediately took action and quickly deployed the new combat unit - Wu created by He Wei. The 14 people were quickly divided into three rifle teams and one light machine gun team.

The command from the corps commanders followed closely. Under the leadership of the deputy squad leader, the three rifle corps responsible for the attack quickly spread out, forming a triangle with the first corps in front, the second corps, and the third corps on the left and right sides respectively. formation.Among them, the first corps is twenty steps away from the second and third corps, and the third corps is 25 steps apart from its parallel second corps. The three riflemen in each corps also form a triangle formation. Individuals are twelve steps apart.

Under such a battle formation, nine riflemen formed an equilateral triangle formation under the command of the deputy squad leader. The first corps at the front of the triangle adopted an inverted triangle, and the second and third corps adopted a forward triangle formation. The triangular formation constitutes a complete infantry squad attack group.

Twenty steps to the left and rear of the large triangle formation was a light machine gun team personally commanded by the second squad leader Luo Youdao as cover.

Looking at the unfolded second squad, He Wei nodded with satisfaction. The acceptance of the new tactics and new formations by his men was much better than he expected. The newly promoted non-commissioned officers are very proficient in the coaching methods of leading troops and the various passwords in the drill. They have a good foundation, so they can quickly master the new passwords taught to them by He Wei.

During the training, while the soldiers in the first platoon learned the new attack and impact combat formation, they also gradually adapted to the basic team tactical unit of three people in the process!

"That's right, crawl forward and advance with your gun!"

He Wei wore a speed machine on his waist and held a medium-sized rifle stock in his hand. He crawled with the second squad in the creeping assault, pointing out the mistakes he found from time to time, and engaging in this kind of wartime assault training. The method He Wei adopts is just one - practice continuously, climb over and over again, practice over and over again, one class after another.

The soldiers climbed, and he followed them over and over again. A dozen of them rolled in the soil together. It would be nonsense for the soldiers to say they were not tired, but when they saw that the platoon leaders around them were climbing together, the soldiers felt happy. There is nothing to complain about. If the squad they are in has to climb ten times, then He Wei has to take three squads to take turns to climb thirty times. It is more tiring than the soldiers. With such a commander, you can win the battle. You can get rewards, but you can also lead by example and do things yourself, what else can you say?
"kill!"

"kill!"

Not far away, the soldiers of the first and third squads were sweating profusely and shouting loudly for slashing and stabbing training. He Wei wanted to strengthen not only the training of infantry tactics, but also the training of stabbing tactics. Speaking of which, He Wei During the charge just now, he fought with the Japanese with bayonets, but he suffered a loss during the stabbing, and several brothers were stabbed to death, so he deliberately had a foresight and focused on strengthening the assassination.

The training of assassination is far from a day's work. It is closely related to the usual training and the physique of the soldiers. Moreover, the Chinese army also has assassination training, but it is far inferior to that of the Japanese army. Wei Wei is just based on his own actual combat skills. With his experience, he gave his brothers four moves, one is chopping, the other is direct blow with rifle butt, the third is upward strike with rifle butt, and the fourth is downward strike with rifle butt. It was these assassination moves that He Wei used to achieve the victory just now. The stabbing killed the Japanese soldier who was attacking him.

In the fight with the Japanese army, He Wei had a vague feeling that the Japanese army did not seem to be very trained in using rifle butts for hand-to-hand combat. The current teaching and training of spear spearing in the national army was basically a replica of the Japanese spear spear teaching. It was unpleasant to sharpen the spear in battle. Ye Guang, He Wei can only hope that the soldiers will quickly learn and practice these moves, in order to have a better chance of winning in future hand-to-hand melee combat.

The sky was getting late and the sun was setting over the western mountains. The shouts of killing in the open land did not weaken even a little and went straight into the sky.

Just as He Wei's troops were training fiercely, a crisis caused by He Wei, or the butterfly effect, quietly arrived.
