Chapter 256 Nanyang-style Rifle
As for the "not reliable enough", some people have proposed that they can be equipped with flintlock guns - such as time-tested models like Brown Bess. [Read the full text] However, this proposal was opposed by the industrial department and the Planning Institute. The structure of the Brown Bess is completely different from the Mini rifle. All parts except the butt are not universal-it is equivalent to having to develop a new model for it. A production line. What's more, ammunition cannot be used universally. Spending a lot of extra resources and manpower to arm a small number of troops is not worth the gain.
In the end, Wang Luobin, who was attending a meeting in Lingao, proposed a new plan to produce the "Monkey Version Mini Rifle." Specifically, it would follow the structure of the existing Mini Rifle and use most parts in common, but the barrel would not be rifled. .
Because there is no rifling, the range and accuracy of the monkey version of the Mini rifle are greatly reduced. But it is still much stronger than various matchlock guns and fire portal guns in this time and space, and it has certain advantages even compared to mature flintlock guns like Brown Bess. They also maintained a generation gap with the regular army.
The monkey version of the Mini rifle does not require changes to the production line or special processing. It only eliminates the drawing and rifling production process, saving manpower and material resources. When necessary, it can be restored to the "standard version" by changing the barrel. Greatly save manpower and material resources. Ammunition can also be used universally.
The most important thing is that the production technology of mercury and flash caps is monopolized by the Senate. Even if the weapon is lost, the person who obtained the weapon cannot use it. This is much safer than a flintlock gun - a flintlock gun is very It is easy to be repaired and used, but without a flash cap, the mini gun is just an iron fire stick. So far, although hundreds of Mini rifles have been in "unrecovered" status, no force has been found to be able to use Mini rifles.
The idea of this monkey version of the Mini rifle was quickly implemented, and the Japanese company obtained the first batch of "Nanyang-style rifles" - because in the plan for the security army, the future security army will mainly be deployed in Southeast Asia. Not all of these rifles were newly made. Some of them were refurbished rifles that had been replaced by the Fubo Army and had worn rifling, and were reinstalled with smoothbore barrels.
First, we conducted firearms training for Japanese corporals. Once the Nanyang-style rifle was put into training, it was well received by these people. Almost all of them have experience in using matchlock guns, whether it is the Japanese-made monkey version of the Tanegashima Iron Cannon. Whether they were genuine Portuguese or British matchlocks, they had all been exposed to them. Regardless of the comparison in terms of shooting accuracy and shooting speed, the huge advantages of the Nanyang-style rifle made them stunned.
After the corporal squad leaders mastered the shooting and maintenance essentials of the Nanyang-style rifle. Early the next morning, the entire onboard battalion gathered on the training ground.
"Starting today, you will receive weapons. Run forward!" After the education sergeant issued the order, each education class ran in columns to the weapons depot under the command of the password.
Tables and gun racks have been set up at the door of the weapons depot. Everyone received a Nanyang-style rifle and matching bayonet. Weapons personnel are responsible for managing the issuance of serial numbers for weapons. Each education class then organizes explanations on weapon structure and maintenance at the training ground.
Murasaki Chuan Xiuji said loudly: "Each rifle is engraved with the emblem of the Senate - the Morning Star, so it cannot be treated lightly. The mental state of a soldier can be seen through the soldier's awareness of cherishing the gun, so it must be Take good care of your guns!”
He was giving lectures from the training class with great emotion when suddenly there was a "click" sound from behind the team. Everyone looked back and saw that it was the Yabei education soldier who accidentally knocked down his newly issued rifle and was panicking. Zhang Di went to pick it up. Murasaki Hideji roared loudly: "Get out!"
Yabei suddenly turned pale with fright.
"Asshole!" Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of his mouth being slapped. Murasaki Chuan Xiuji yelled: "It's over for a guy like you! Bastard! Everyone stand at attention! If you handle weapons roughly, you will be put in solitary confinement and only eat one meal a day. Do you understand? Idiot! You will be punished to stand guard at night. It’s time to carry three rifles!”
Then the maintenance methods of guns and bayonets were introduced in detail, including use, disassembly and assembly. Then everyone started trying to disassemble, assemble and maintain the gun.
The structure of the Mini rifle is quite simple, but it is still not easy for people who have no sense of maintenance.
"I said it once, have you written it down?!" Zichuan roared at all the soldiers. All education in the military camp is forced indoctrination, and soldiers are forced to memorize it through loud reprimands.
The rifle shooting training lasted for a week. Most of the Japanese mercenaries had matchlock shooting experience, so there was not much difficulty in using the Nanyang-style rifle. It is even faster than the recruits of the Fubo Army who adapt to it much faster - it takes a lot of effort for the latter just to overcome their fear of firearms.
After 40 consecutive unloaded firings and 20 live firings. The troops transferred to bayonet training. After the eight-week training, the basic training of the Japanese Battalion of the Security Army came to an end and the formation of the troops was carried out.
Among the more than 370 Japanese mercenaries who originally signed a contract to work for the Senate, they were eventually organized into four security army companies. It is still an establishment of one hundred people. However, there are no drummers or flute players in the company, only flag players and buglers. Company and platoon-level officers and company chiefs are temporarily served by naturalized civilian soldiers drawn from the regular army. In accordance with the principle of low-ranking and high-ranking officers, former regular army sergeants serve as platoon leaders and staff sergeants serve as company commanders. Their military ranks remain unchanged. But enjoy corresponding job allowances.
The establishment and use of the security army were decided based on discussions at the "Danzhou Seminar".
When the security war in Qiongbei was about to end, the initiative to establish a full-time security force had already appeared. In order to give full play to the role of the security force, the General Staff held an "On-site Seminar on Anti-Guerrilla Security Warfare" in Danzhou. Xue Ziliang introduced the methods, ideas and experiences and lessons of a series of anti-guerrilla operations in Danzhou under his auspices. .
One of the main experiences summarized from the meeting is: while possessing sufficient mobile forces to carry out strikes, it is necessary to ensure effective control and management of various strongholds and residential areas. Militias and national armies can be organized in the ruled areas. In the newly occupied areas that have not been "civilized", there must be sufficient security forces to implement control of major residential areas. Deter local tyrants, ensure that enemies cannot obtain supplies and personnel from residential areas, protect local administrative agencies, and ensure the smooth flow of government orders.
The security forces formed for this purpose do not need to be large-scale, nor do they need to be integrated - they do not need to form special logistics teams and heavy fire support teams - this part is guaranteed by the regular army. Even formation and tactical training can be greatly simplified. Do not conduct overly complex queue change training and collaborative tactics training.
Combat training highlights shooting, bombing, fighting, earthwork and riot control, and tactics focuses on patrol and defensive operations.
Because the security army is deployed and operated in a decentralized manner, the largest tactical unit is the company. A detachment is set up in a company as an administrative management and logistics supply unit, and the number of companies under the detachment is not fixed. Suitable for distributed deployment and flexible configuration needs.
After completing the onboard camp, they were sent to the naval training brigade in Bopu for two weeks of ferry adaptability training and shipboard hand-to-hand combat training to make final preparations for setting sail. The onboard battalion will be transferred to Taiwan as part of the advance team of the security forces, and then part of it will be sent to Jeju Island.
The naval training camp is located in Bopu. Almost all the facilities are the works of the People's Commissar of the Navy Mingqiu. Unlike the military military commander Mingqiu, who is very knowledgeable about military history and equipment, Ming Lao is serious about planning the troops, starting from the top soldier step by step. Those who come up have their own unique experience in training and leading troops.
"Review!"
"Please take a moment"
"The first company of marines moved ashore quickly, but the equipment is all wet. How can we still fight?!"
"We're already halfway through the combat training mission of the Second Marine Battalion. There are still people who have cut down the sails and cables. Will they use their stomachs to fight against the pirates?!"
…
When working under Commander Ming, it is necessary to be scolded every day. However, as an old navy man, it is only Mingqiu's professional habit to be more serious on the training ground. After he is disbanded, he will immediately get along with the majority of commanders and soldiers. However, as an old navy man, Mingqiu was accustomed to being fast in the air and submersible. Even in his dreams, he saw the sharp bow splitting the white waves. He was a complete amateur when it came to maneuvering sailboats and arranging battle lines, and he had not thought about how to command the most powerful surface fleet in this time and space.
…
kill!
ha!
prick!
Roar!
Take a 5 minute break! You can go to the toilet, but you are not allowed to go far!
yes! Sir!
Disband!
Murasakikawa Hideji and seven or eight Japanese walked to the shade of a tree to drink water with Nanyang-style rifles with bayonets in their hands. While looking at a group of Australians in the distance forming a strange formation, holding strange flags and bamboo poles, They walked slowly, stopping from time to time to point and point or to step back somewhere and start walking again. I really didn't understand what they were practicing.
Mingqiu and his officers ignored the pointing fingers of the Japanese mercenaries in the distance and continued their own training.
Strictly speaking, this cannot be considered training. This is a tactical simulation method invented by Admiral Ming. It is similar to the former space-time pilot holding a small plane on the ground and performing various flying maneuvers. It's just that now each captain leads several of his men to stand in a row to simulate a ship. Ship 901 and 854 are now the treasures of the Senate. The Senate and the Executive Committee are wary of naval personnel with pirate backgrounds, so When appointing the first batch of key ship officers, the first priority was "reliability." As a result, the ship maneuvering and tactical abilities of the officer corps of these "capital ships" have fallen behind.
In order to make up for this shortcoming, training must be strengthened. Little time is left for them to train. They are about to go to sea to perform a mission. Targeted navigation training can only be practiced while sailing, and tactical training must start in advance.
