under fire

Chapter 775
The sun was still high in the southeast sky, and the sun was shining brightly, with a gentle breeze blowing the earth.

The Ninth Battalion was clustered east and west outside the village. The three company commanders Ma Liang, Tian Sanqi, and Li Xiang personally led the team and organized their subordinates to conduct coordinated training in units of platoons.

Ma Liang tilted his head, struck a match, lit a cigarette, and took a puff beautifully: "Didn't you say that all of you here are veterans, why are you so virtuous? This is the soldier you trained?"

Tian Sanqi next to him was a little embarrassed: "Almost all the soldiers who came back here have been on the battlefield and shot guns. Are they called veterans?"

Ma Liang was stunned for a moment: "You mean the recruits who have shot the bandit Ma Dabang with you, and they have been shot twice. They are the veterans you mentioned?"

Tian Sanqi firmly believes that his training is effective: "I personally trained them to practice stabbing, standing in line and throwing grenades. They are absolutely brave on the battlefield. Nothing to say!"

Ma Liang had a black line: "That is to say, you still use the same way you trained on the second side?"

Tian Sanqi was not in a good mood: "What? If you have an opinion, then you return all the soldiers assigned to you by Lao Qin!"

Li Xiang, who was silent next to him, saw the two fighting again, but he was quite satisfied, and said rarely: "I think the soldiers are pretty good at obeying discipline."

Ma Liang saw that the soldiers were skillful in their movements, but unfortunately the coordination and attack and retreat movements were so terrible, he couldn't help but let out a puff of smoke: "It's just us who want to fight the devils, it's just to die!"

"We don't have the ability to fight tough battles with devils!"

Ma Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You know who you are"

"I can't stand you practicing by yourself, sharpening your guns in front of the battle, it's okay to be unhappy!" After Tian Sanqi finished speaking, he turned his head and left, going straight to see his company.

The three company commanders trained differently. Tian Sanqi liked to let the soldiers charge with their bayonets upright, Ma Liang emphasized tactics more, and Li Xiang paid great attention to details.

Luo Fugui had no interest in training troops at all, and directly delegated the power to Dagou.

Dagou and Ma Liang fought the bandits in the village for most of the night last night, but he didn't have that kind of thought at all. He just drove the newcomer Wan Baxi into the rack, and he ran to the roof of the east of the village to bask in the sun.

The veterans of Big Dog's subordinates were nowhere to be seen, and they were sleeping in the house.

"When Ge Laozi is crawling on the ground, he must hold the gun steadily with his right hand, support the ground with his left arm, and constantly cooperate with his right leg, so that he can move forward quickly and be ready to shoot at the enemy at any time." Wan Baxi really wanted to quickly integrate into the team , unceremoniously took over the training task.

The soldiers were very enthusiastic about training, because the instructor seemed to have a good relationship with the big dog platoon leader, and he even demonstrated on the ground himself.

Wan is proficient in fine movements, taking advantage of the village environment to cover up the assault, retreat, and then fly on the wall, imitating shooting with each movement: "bang"

Immediately aroused cheers and applause from the soldiers studying nearby.

Wan Baxi stood up: "Everyone follow my action. You don't have any kung fu background. When you go up the wall, you will be in groups of three, and the two of you will cross your arms, and lift the brother who is trotting up!"

Seeing that the soldiers were clumsy, Wan pulled aside the soldier who fell down instead of climbing over the wall: "Hey, Ge Laozi, haven't you eaten? You can climb a wall slowly. Look at it I'll do it again."

"Be sure to pay attention to the details. When you are in a group of three, you have to run a few steps quickly to climb up the wall first. Be sure to spot the position where the two of them cross their hands, and use their upward force to go directly to the roof. After you go up, you must If you want, pull up the brothers below." After finishing speaking, Wan took two small steps, stepped on the crossed hands of the two warriors who built the human wall, and flew over the high courtyard wall from the top of the wall with a whoosh. .

"what"

"Oh my god, you bastard, why did you fall from the sky?" A banxian cursed from behind the courtyard wall.

There was a burst of laughter outside the wall.

Wan rubbed his arms carefully: "Then what are you doing? Why are you going?"

Banxian picked up the things that had been knocked down on the ground and put them into the lunch box: "I'm going to deliver food to the girl."

"Doesn't she know she came here? What is this? Horse meat? It's all on the ground, I'll pay for it first." Wan Baxi snatched a large piece, rubbed it on the clothes that hadn't been washed in 800 years, and directly stuff it in your mouth.

"Hey, hey, why are you so anxious? Everyone has a share."

Immediately there was silence outside the enclosure, ears pricked up to listen carefully to the conversation between Banxian and Baxi.

"I haven't eaten meat for a long time, I'm so hungry!" After a long while, there was a whining voice: "Hey, why don't you put more salt?"

"It's good to have something to eat. This village is so poor, where can I find so much salt?"

"I've seen it all. Anyway, the kitchen still has a lot of stock, right?"

Banxian sighed: "We have to stay here for at least a month, if it weren't for the fact that the camp beat those bandits a few days ago and seized some salt. You can wait to eat the white flavor."

Pu Chi Wan couldn't help laughing: "Persist in the devil-occupied area for a month? In yesterday's battle, more than half of the ammunition was consumed. If you can stay here for ten days, it's the best. It's still a month! I don't even look at it." See how many catties you have."

Banxian thought about it seriously: "So many bullets have been seized this time... Even if the caliber is not the right one, it's a big deal to change to a bandit's gun."

"Bullshit, that idiot surnamed Yang actually agreed to negotiate with the bandits, why don't they put their human guns back?"

Banxian was stunned for a moment: "Who did you hear that the negotiating will release him?"

"Isn't it for the captives who don't want to participate in the Eighth Route... to release them with two yuan?"

"That depends on the situation... Besides, our Ninth Battalion doesn't have that rule, either join the Eighth Route or shoot!"

"Ah? Could it be that what Balu said is all false?"

"It's not fake, but it's not fake. It depends on the place and the time when you release people. This time the captives are all decided by the division."

Taking advantage of Banxian's inattention, Wan Baxi quickly reached out and snatched another piece of horse meat: "I don't think those bandits can take it. They are all sneaky things, and they will be a burden on the battlefield."

Banxian didn't care either: "Well, I don't care about this matter, you eat first, and I'll get another bowl."

Wan Baxi directly snatched all the lunch boxes from Banxian's hand: "Hey, I said you're too lazy to take care of the logistics now, and you'll get me another big one later."

Banxian stared: "Get lost!"

Wan threw the aluminum lunch box to Banxian, wiped his mouth clean, turned out from the courtyard gate, and looked at the soldiers lying at the base of the wall: "What are you still doing in a daze? Train now!"

The soldiers quickly continued to crawl on the ground, and when they reached the wall, they quickly got up and climbed over the wall.
On the drying yard at the entrance of the village.

Sitting around Mancang for more than half a circle, they all stretched their necks, watching the oil-stained little hands deftly dismantling the machine gun.

".It must be noted that in addition to wiping the gun and oiling it, cotton must also be stuffed on the muzzle of the gun during normal marches."

"Up to fifteen or so magazines and the barrel has to be replaced."

"What if we don't change the barrel?" A certain soldier felt that it was a pity that the barrel was changed.

"There are two situations. If you shoot continuously, the barrel will heat up and turn red, directly detonate the bullets in the magazine, and a gun explosion accident will occur. In the second situation, even if you don't shoot continuously, the barrel will burn out after more than 200 bullets. It will be deformed and cause jamming, first it will lose shooting accuracy, and in severe cases, the chamber will explode.”

"Then, is it okay to water while beating?"

Mancang thought for a while: "It's okay, but the machine gun itself is the enemy's main focus on the battlefield. When you water it, your body will rise up. Isn't it just a target for the enemy?"

"I understand. The machine gun has to change places after two shuttles. It's because I'm afraid that the enemy will shoot the machine gun specially."

Another soldier asked, "Can you elaborate on the crossfire?"

The hand full of oil stains scratched his head: "Hey, I can't explain this clearly."

Not far away, Wan Baxi, who heard Mancang talking, immediately walked out of the crowd in shock, stretched out and pinched a soldier's neck, and pulled the soldier away: "Hey, machine gun fire has two functions in positional warfare. It is fire suppression, and the second is to form crossfire to kill the enemy.

When suppressing fire, the machine gun fires from a distance to prevent the enemy from rushing quickly.

When defending on the battlefield, at least two machine guns should be installed at both ends of the enemy's surface, and they will shoot at the flanks of the enemy attacking from a certain angle. Even if the first person cannot be hit, the bullets will always hit him. If the machine gun is arranged on the front, the attacking veteran can avoid the bullet in advance through the ballistic trajectory. "

A soldier stared wide-eyed and asked: "Just blow it up, who can avoid machine gun bullets?"

Wan Baxi didn't care about that question at all, and continued to say: "A Czech light machine gun has [-] bullets in a magazine, and burst fire can't keep the firepower going for a long time. The two sides of the crossfire have cooperated. When one side keeps shooting, One side can just change the magazine. In this way, the firepower can be maintained continuously. Of course, if there is a heavy machine gun, it can be fired all the time.”

A soldier suddenly interjected: "I heard that Company Commander Tian and the others have a machine gun. I have never seen it before. It looks very powerful."

Another soldier asked, "Hey, I heard that Brother Wan can shoot?"

Hearing that there was a new type of machine gun, Wan Zhi's eyes lit up, and he stopped talking about the machine gun, and just stood up, turned his head and walked away, leaving a sentence: "Brother Hui has a lot of things."

He heard that there is a new weapon, he intends to check it out
