Volume 2 Battle of Songhu Chapter 27 Grenadier

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It is very sad to have equipment on the battlefield but not know how to use it. It is as painful as a person who has been hungry for a long time looking at a table full of delicious food and being unable to eat. This happened to our 15th Regiment.  For example, many soldiers couldn't use the mortars we captured from the Japanese arsenal, the thirty-odd mountain cannons, and even the grenade launchers in our hands.

    I still remember that a few days ago, we suffered a big loss in the mortar battle because we were not familiar with the equipment.  It should be said that our regiment's current equipment level is no worse than that of the Japanese army. We can even easily achieve better equipment than the Japanese army if we are willing.  But it is obvious that an army needs not only equipment, but also quality and coordination.

    If we stay on the battlefield, I think it will be difficult for us to have the time and opportunity to become familiar with these weapons when we have to face death all day long. However, these few days of rest have given us a good opportunity.

    Of course, these tasks are all done by the head of education.  He is the "Chief of Education", isn't he?  To put it simply, he is the head instructor. How can he be called the "chief of education" if he doesn't have two skills?

    So when we retreated to the second line, in addition to taking a good rest for a few hours on the first night, we entered into a turbulent training under the instructor's order overnight.  The main subject of training is to become familiar with the various weapons in hand, with an emphasis on grenade launchers.

    I think the director of education has thought a lot about this, because we are most unfamiliar with the various weapons seized, which are grenade launchers.  Isn't it?  There is actually nothing to teach about the Type 38 rifle. After all, we used to use bolt-action rifles. Apart from the difference in weight and length, there is basically no difference in other aspects.  As for the light and heavy machine guns, the machine gunner can master them by fiddling with them, and it is not difficult to operate them.  What matters is how to configure the firepower.  As for the mortar It should be said that this thing is a bit professional, such as how to aim and fire live ammunition, etc., so even if we learn day and night, it is impossible to shoot accurately or quickly, so education  The commander wisely asked Song Zheyuan directly for a group of veterans who knew how to fire mortars to form an artillery unit consisting of thirty-five mortars.

    The most troublesome thing is the grenade. This thing doesn't even have a sight. If it can be used without it, the soldiers can save the trouble of playing with it. However, this thing is a weapon for dealing with human sea tactics You must know that it is actually  The distance of throwing a grenade extends to five to sixty meters for an average person to throw a grenade in a trench.  And there may not be any accuracy.  But with a grenade, you can throw grenades up to a distance of two hundred meters. If you master it well, you can throw it wherever you want. You can even use it to suppress the firepower of the enemy's light and heavy machine guns

    Anyone who has fought against the Japanese army knows this very well. Especially in such close-range street battles, whether it is a light machine gun or a heavy machine gun, our army often just needs to fire a bunch of bullets and then move its position.  Otherwise, the little devil's grenade would have flown over from nowhere Now we know that this is actually a grenade. Although its range is not far, it can make up for the bolt-action rifles of this era to a great extent.  The problem of insufficient firepower, especially since this weapon can be used to equip infantry on a large area, is undoubtedly of great use in both offense and defense.

    Originally, I thought that holding a sniper rifle would save me from having to learn how to use grenades with the soldiers. However, the director of education didn¡¯t think so. The reason is that there is another identity, that is, the commander of the second company!  According to the chief of education, as a company commander, I should train with the soldiers and become familiar with the functions of various weapons.  Only in this way can we command better on the battlefield.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: If I don¡¯t even know what role this grenade or mortar and other weapons can play, then how can I talk about commanding on the battlefield?  So I took out a grenade from the ammunition box and practiced with the soldiers.

    "What's the name of this thing? That grenade"

    The person who explained the grenade to us was an old artilleryman from the Northeast. His surname was Zhang. The soldiers called him Mr. Zhang, and he sounded like that little Shenyang man.  It is said that he had served as an artilleryman under Zhang Xueliang before, and had fired artillery of various calibers.  So this grenade is nothing to him.

    "Let's take a look at this thing!" Mr. Zhang turned the grenade in his hand over and over for a while, then squinted and said: "It's no different from a mortar. How do you shoot it? Let me tell you, stuff the shells  Isn¡¯t it OK if you go in? As for whether the drip is accurate or not, it depends on the individual¡¯s nature. The more drips, the more accurate it will be!¡±

    Hearing this, the soldiers and I couldn't help but be stunned, and even the superintendent of education standing aside was stunned.

    "Zhang Guocai!" The head of education winked at Mr. Zhang angrily and said, "You should say more. Tell me about your own experience and teach others how to fight!"

    Mr. Zhang shook his head helplessly: "Chief Education Officer, this is not because I, Mr. Zhang, want to save a skill. This job of mine is all about practice."It's all a matter of effort. Even if you search my intestines, you won't be able to find anything!  "

    The superintendent of education also felt that this was reasonable.  You must know that the soldiers of this era, especially those born in warlords like Mr. Zhang, cannot read a single Chinese character. How can they understand the principles and methods? The reason why they can shoot accurately is all based on the training of artillery shells.  of.  In other words, his ability can only be understood but cannot be expressed.

    So the director of education had no choice but to wave his hand and let Mr. Zhang go down.  But it was obvious that this lesson couldn't just tell the soldiers that if they wanted to hit it accurately, they had to practice more and get through it with just a few sentences. So the director of education scanned the crowd with his eyes, and then settled on me.  Come down.

    Seeing this, I couldn¡¯t help but feel a little bit in my heart. It couldn¡¯t be me again. I don¡¯t know anything about this stuff

    But regardless of whether I wanted to or not, the chief education officer still raised his head to me: "Company Commander Fang, tell me!"

    "With a bang," led by my group of Tuweizi, the entire regiment of soldiers applauded.  So I had no choice but to rush to the podium

    However, I was still a little embarrassed and said: "Director, I don't know how to do this"

    "Just say a few words!" The director of education turned the microphone to me, handed the grenade to me casually and said: "Speaking of which, our entire army has been equipped with new equipment, and your company commander is indispensable.  Tell us your experiences and ideas and share them with the soldiers!"

    "Yes!" I had no choice but to take the grenade and stand in front of the podium.

    When holding the magazine in my hand, I felt that I didn't know what to say, and suddenly remembered that I had learned parabola in high school  Isn't the curve hit by this shell?  It just so happened that this place was originally used for Mr. Zhang to give lectures, and there was chalk next to it and a blackboard behind it.

    So I thought about it, grabbed the chalk and drew a parabola on the blackboard behind me and said: "I think whether it is a mortar or a grenade, the trajectory of the shell is a parabola. Brothers all know  The artillery shells we shoot at an angle of 45 degrees can reach the farthest, which is almost the range of a grenade of 200 meters. If the launch angle is higher than 45 degrees or lower than 45 degrees, either  Because the angle is too large, the parabola is too curved, or the landing time is too short, causing the explosion point to shrink within two hundred meters"

    As I spoke, I drew parabolas emitted at various angles on the blackboard, and then pointed at these parabolas and said: "So I think we should learn the knowledge of parabolas first, and then use this knowledge to calculate various calculations."  The explosion point of the cannonball fired from various angles, and practice at these angles instead of relying solely on feel and experience. Only in this way can you do better in a limited time with directional and targeted training!"

    "Well said!" As soon as I finished speaking, all the soldiers applauded in unison.

    Most of the soldiers in the 15th Regiment are student soldiers, right?  The knowledge of parabolas is not difficult for them to understand, but the veterans were all confused and didn't know what I was talking about.

    The director of education walked up to me with appreciative eyes and said: "You can't tell! Just now you said I don't know what to say? That's an astonishing statement! Well, since you've said it all, just say it again  Soldiers, talk about thisparabola."

    "This" I couldn't help but be stunned, and then I immediately stood up and said: "Report to the director of education, we have a top student from Central University in our company, I think it is more appropriate for him to talk about this issue!"

    ¡°Oh, that¡¯s fine too!¡± The superintendent of education readily agreed, seeming to appreciate my modesty and willingness to recommend others.

    But how would he know that although I am also a college student in modern times, I have already forgotten all about those parabola formulas, eccentricity, basic equations, etc. If I want to go on.  I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself on the spot.

    Li Wenxi was soon called up to give a lecture. Li Wenxi, a top student, was really good. He also knew that although the soldiers in our regiment were all student soldiers, many of them were junior high school students. If the lecture was too in-depth  It¡¯s hard to understand and there¡¯s no need to go into too much detail. After all, our goal is to fight, right?  It¡¯s not like I¡¯m going to college.  So he simply gave a few formulas to teach the soldiers how to calculate a large explosive point based on angle and muzzle velocity.

    This is very useful for soldiers, because after knowing how to calculate it seems that soldiers only need to roughly estimate the distance of the enemy, and then they can calculate the angle to launch cannonballs at the enemy

    Of course, there is no time for us to slowly calculate with a pen and paper on the battlefield, so we need to master this through live-fire training.
