dusk.
The students in the village formed a circle on three levels and were discussing and summarizing what they had learned today.
Liu Yuanqing sat in the middle with student captain Zhao Hu and six student team leaders.
Eight people formed a small circle.
The students put small notebooks on their knees, held pencils in their hands, and drew circles when they encountered words they couldn't write.
Liu Yuanqing, with his eyebrows flying, foaming at the mouth, and gestures, explained in detail the Japanese attack routines and how to resolve them to the student team leaders.
"As soon as the Japanese attack starts, they usually bombard first. Who can tell us what we should do at this time?"
"Tell the instructor, if the enemy is far away from our position, we will hide in the individual soldier's pit and ignore him. When the distance is close, the sharpshooter will open fire and hit him first."
"Instructor Hong has told you the order in which the sniper sharpshooter selects his target. Can anyone repeat it to you?"
"First shoot the Japanese officials, then the grenade launchers, and then the machine guns."
Liu Yuanqing shook his head: "That's not entirely true. There are two situations. After the battle started, the Japanese commander did nothing but shout to kill chickens to cheer up the Japanese. Who else knows?"
A team leader finally couldn't help but question: "Instructor Hong spoke too fast and we were not allowed to ask questions. I think there is something wrong with what he said. I think when the battle starts, we should first throw grenades, then fire volleys and finally charge!"
It seems that for this person, the tactics Xiao Hongying talked about are completely useless. It seems that this is the legendary playing the piano against a cow!
Liu Yuanqing scolded: "You idiot, I say it again, we are attacking now, not ambush."
"What's the difference? Anyway, you have to fight the devils first to become an official."
"I'll say it again, those who serve as officials to fight against the Japanese are only useful before the Japanese attack formation is deployed. Do you understand?"
The other one finally nodded: "I understand, but what did you say about hitting the target two hundred meters away? The enemy is not a fool. He will stand there waiting for us to take aim at him."
"I'll let you see it tomorrow, a fixed target three hundred meters away, a movable target two hundred meters away, continuous shooting within a range of one hundred meters, rapid fire at fifty meters and rapid fire from a pistol at twenty meters."
"Instructor, can you do it?"
"I can't do it."
"I'm just bragging, I've never seen such a brilliant person among our Eighth Route Army!"
Liu Yuanqing smiled: "Just because you haven't seen it, it doesn't mean that you don't have it."
"Is he the big dog they were talking about?"
Liu Yuanqing shook his head: "Tang Dagou is good at killing enemies from a distance, but he is not good at close combat."
"Who is that?" "I heard from comrades in the special agent company that Instructor Wang can't even do it."
Liu: "Hey, I won't tell you."
"Instructor Liu, just tell me."
Liu "Don't call me instructor, I don't have students with such poor eyesight as you."
"That's right, you're half telling and half hiding, it's so embarrassing!" "Let everyone learn more about it."
"Isn't that cool? Hey, it's said that the guy hit the target four hundred meters away." Liu Yuanqing continued to lie.
"Blow, you can really blow"
Liu Yuanqing was completely deliberately trying to whet his appetite. He ignored these students who were feeling frustrated and changed the topic: "I'm telling you this, it means that no matter how poor our team is, we still have to find a way to train three sniper sharpshooters. !”
One student's eyes widened: "You are the three sharpshooters who are all fed with bullets?"
"Don't interrupt." After scolding Zhao Hu, he continued to ask Liu Yuanqing: "How should it be maintained or arranged?"
"When the enemy attacks, the observer in the middle of the trio quickly finds the location of the Japanese grenade, trying to eliminate the main shooter after the Japanese grenade fires the first grenade, and then continues to monitor the Japanese grenade position."
A student team leader brought tea and water: "Instructor, drink some water and explain in detail how to arrange the battlefield."
"When the deputy shooter shoots the Japanese machine gun, he does not need the observer to fire at most three shots at the same shooting position to get a backup position."
Some students asked: "If you find a good position, you can shoot the Japanese with all your strength. Why can you only shoot three times?"
Liu Yuanqing explained: "After firing three shots at the same place, you must change positions immediately. Don't forget, the Japs also have observers. As long as you shoot three enemies in a row and kill three enemies, the Japs observers can immediately discover your position. The little Japs' shooting skills , you don’t need me to tell you, right?”
"But if we let a sharpshooter serve as an observer, wouldn't we lose one sharpshooter and have fewer opportunities to kill the Japanese?"
Liu Yuanqing asked: "You know what the hell, even if he is a sharpshooter, he has to find the target himself, and then aim and shoot. How long do you think it will take?"
"I haven't thought about this carefully."
Liu Yuanqing began to talk about theory: "Let me tell you, most excellent sharpshooters use bolt-action rifles. In offensive and defensive battles, it takes at least fifteen seconds to kill an enemy."
Some students nodded: "Yes, many times we fire and find that we can't hit the enemy at all. According to what you said, observers are really as important as sharpshooters."
The person next to him muttered: "The little devil's marksmanship is accurate, but we are at a great disadvantage in this regard."
Then someone asked: "Instructor, you just said to use a bolt-action rifle. Are there any rifles without bolts?"
Another person echoed: "Anyway, submachine guns and shell guns are definitely not good. Both of them can only be used in close combat!"
Liu Yuanqing raised his hand and pressed it: "Of course there is. It's called a semi-automatic rifle. The principle is similar to that of a machine gun. There is no need to pull the bolt."
"And such an awesome gun?"
"Hey, look," Liu Yuanqing asked Wang Xiaosan, who was standing at the door, to bring over Xiao Hongying's empty rifle.
Wang Xiaosan moved very quickly. He ran out of the house within a minute and handed the gun to the crowd: "Do you feel that this gun is different from our common guns?"
"It seems like there's really no bolt. It's similar to a submachine gun, just longer."
"A rifle is not like a rifle, and a submachine gun is not like a submachine gun. What the hell is this?"
Liu Yuanqing passed the rifle around to the students: "This is called the Garand rifle. From now on, if you have the opportunity to get a rifle like this, you must make good use of it."
"It's a really good gun, it feels good when you touch it." "It's just a bit heavy."
Liu Yuanqing coughed twice and silenced the students immediately before continuing: "Think about it, in large-scale offensive operations, you will often shoot from a hundred meters away, and shoot while running. Let me tell you, shooting A thousand rounds of bullets may not hit the target, so as long as the Japs are not squatting, you don’t have to be afraid at all. From now on, we will mainly target those Japs who are squatting, understand.
"Yes, there were many times in the past when we fired three bullets and failed to hit a single enemy."
Liu Yuan heard about the Three Guns and Eight Routes early in the morning. After meeting the Ninth Battalion, he didn't think that the Eight Routes really only had three rounds of ammunition. He didn't expect that there really were three guns and eight troops sitting next to him: "Hey, you really only have three rounds of ammunition?"
A student team leader answered honestly: "Well, most people used to be like this. Now it's a little better. Sometimes there are four shots."
Is it better to have one more bullet? Liu Yuanqing had a black line on his face: "How dare you fight against the Japanese without bullets? I accept this."
"Many times, the bullets are all used up right after the point fight begins, and we don't want to have to fight with bayonets."
"It's okay. If you join the Autonomous Army in a while, there will definitely be no shortage of bullets, so you have to change your previous fighting style."
Zhao Hu was asking for advice: "Is the counter-fire suppression of the sharpshooter you mentioned really that powerful?"
Liu Yuanqing fell into memories: "The most powerful sharpshooter I have ever seen. After he was alone, he fought against a small group of Japanese soldiers. The small Japanese soldiers had four grenade barrels and three light machine guns. It was a pity that the enemy was almost dead. , he finally died under the cold gunshot of an enemy who was not dead.
The scene was quiet for a while, and Liu Yuanqing came to his senses: "In battle, it is very important to quickly find cover. In fact, neither machine gun shooting nor rifle shooting alone poses much of a threat. It must be a cross-configuration of various firepowers to be effective against the enemy." Greater lethality.”
The students worshiped Liu Yuanqing excitedly
"Instructor, drink water."
In Liu Yuanqing's view, the military training of grassroots commanders of the Eighth Route Army uses the old-fashioned method of mentoring and mentoring, which relies entirely on the accumulation of experience.
The mentors and mentors of the Eighth Route Army are almost all experienced veterans summed up with their own blood.
Even the platoon commanders are like this. The grassroots combatants have received almost no formal training.
We only have so little time, and I can’t explain the theory to them in detail, so let’s continue teaching them until the end.
Tell them more, and they can pass it on to more commanders and soldiers.
When you go to the battlefield, you can sacrifice less and kill more Japanese!
Liu Yuanqing had no intention of hiding anything, so he wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth and continued: "Now, let's talk about the organization of the attack."
