While the training of the three infantry squadrons was in full swing, the heavy firepower squadron of the teaching brigade was also training, and their training was simpler and much easier than that of the infantry squadron.

The squadron leader Li Shaoyan is organizing training for three heavy machine gun platoons and one mortar platoon under the heavy fire squadron.

Zhang Wei also informed him of the training plan, and because he was still busy with the affairs of the cadets, it was impossible for Zhang Wei to come to the training ground in person every day.

So the squadron leader of each squadron has to personally lead the troops, and he is no exception.

The specific operation is still done by the platoon commander below, and Li Shaoyan has already notified Zhang Wei's training goal to the platoon commander below.

The Heavy Firepower Squadron is the heavy firepower pillar of the whole brigade and the source of firepower for the brethren of the whole brigade.

An infantry battalion of the Japanese army consisted of a heavy machine gun squadron equipped with eight 92 heavy machine guns and an artillery squad equipped with two 92 infantry guns.

At present, the vast majority of the battalion-level firepower of the national army is a heavy machine gun company, equipped with six civilian 24-type heavy machine guns, and according to the establishment, some units should also have a mortar platoon, but this mortar platoon is mostly empty because of the lack of weapons and equipment, and many battalion-level troops eat from this mortar platoon.

Zhang Wei brought over the nine ZB37 heavy machine guns in the equipment warehouse, and organized three machine gun platoons, which were far more than the eight Type 92 heavy machine guns of the Japanese army, and the quality was also better than that of the Japanese army.

You must know that after the occupation of this gun in the Czech Republic, Sandezi's troops loved to use this gun, and the number of them was not small.

Zhang Wei's teaching brigade was stronger than the Japanese brigade in terms of battalion machine gun firepower, but in terms of artillery fire, the Japanese army was stronger than the teaching brigade, and a Japanese brigade had two 92 infantry guns.

The 92 rifle is a serious direct-fire artillery, and the direct-fire gun is very important for battalion-level units, and the battalion-level units of the great powers are equipped with anti-tank guns and other flat-firing equipment.

Pillboxes, machine gun fire points, turrets and other obvious fire fortifications, with a relatively straight trajectory of direct fire guns to hit, a few shots can knock out the target, but there are also great requirements for the supply and carrying capacity of the troops, shells and artillery are to be horse-drawn, indirectly linked to the country's national strength.

In terms of artillery fire, the teaching brigade only organized an 82 mortar platoon, which did not have the conditions for being equipped with direct-fire guns and the appropriate equipment, and the flat-fire guns in the troops were only combat defense guns, and no division could catch a few of them, and they were all equipped with combat defense artillery regiments and battalions for centralized use, and the teaching brigade, a battalion-level unit, could not afford it, nor could it pull it.

The platoon commander of the 82nd mortar platoon was Zhang Wei's old subordinate, Dong Erli, a veteran artilleryman of the teaching corps who had been playing with artillery with Zhang Wei during the Battle of Taierzhuang.

Dong Erli has been serving as a platoon leader in the infantry platoon because there were no mortars during the preparation battalion period, and he is very happy to return to his old profession now.

At present, under the supervision of Li Shaoyan, all platoons are engaged in training, and the training requirement is to be able to master the disassembly and assembly of heavy machine guns and mortars, as well as various shooting methods.

Heavy machine gun shooting skills include machine gun firing, position construction, gun transfer, familiarization with and use of new heavy machine guns, and a new subject, anti-aircraft alert shooting.

In addition, there is also a more difficult subject, the over-the-top shooting of heavy machine guns, this subject will not be practiced for the time being, and then practice when Zhang Wei finds time, because the over-shooting is slightly more technically difficult for the heavy firepower company, so he will not practice for the time being.

"How's this heavy machine gun?" Li Shaoyan, the squadron leader of the heavy fire squadron, said and asked several machine gun platoon commanders next to him, although he was an officer of the communications section, he was familiar with the basic equipment of the national army.

The heavy machine guns used by the national army are basically the 24-year-old heavy machine guns of the Republic of China and the Maxine series, and there are many French-made Habegkai and Japanese-style 92 heavy machine guns in the miscellaneous troops, while most of the troops of the Central Army system are mainly Maxin.

"Squadron leader, this gun is easy to call, no buckets, light, yesterday a few of our platoon commanders tried to fight, the shooting was smooth, I don't like to get stuck, it's a good gun." Said a heavy machine gun platoon commander.

The Czech ZB37 heavy machine gun uses an air-cooled cooling method, compared with the 24 heavy machine gun, the weight is much less, the 24 heavy machine gun is transferred to several people to carry and carry the transport, ZB37 transfer position, as long as three soldiers, respectively, carrying the decomposed gun body, bullet box and heavy machine gun mount.

The machine gunners are disassembling and familiarizing themselves with the machine guns under the leadership of the squad leaders, and if these machine gunners want to use them proficiently, they must change their old habits.

"How do we use these heavy machine guns when we fight?"

Li Shaoyan is now the squadron leader of the heavy fire squadron, and although he does not command during the war, he still wants to understand the basic things.

Another platoon commander approached.

"Sir, in fact, we play heavy machine guns, and when we fight, the real pillars are the squad leader and machine gun shooter of the machine gun squad."

"As soon as the fight started, the heavy machine guns were all split and strengthened to each company, and we big platoon commanders didn't have anything to do when the time came."

"To put it bluntly, we are supervising the brothers to do a good job in the work at hand, training well, in wartime, a machine gun platoon has three squads, and the infantry company has to be disassembled if it wants fire support, and the infantry platoon needs to be strengthened by machine guns."

Li Shaoyan nodded, thinking that it was not only the company commander, but the platoon commander of this machine gun platoon had no command power when he was fighting, and the company commander of the machine gun company was not as good as the platoon commander.

The platoon commander may not be as useful as the squad leader, because when the squad leader is fighting, he actually directs the machine gun to shoot, and some squad leaders are even heavy machine gun shooters.

The company commanders and platoon commanders of the machine gun company and the fire company all have a bit of the flavor of administrative establishment.

If you offend the platoon commander of the machine gun company and the fire company, in fact, it is not a big matter, if you offend the machine gun squad leader, hum, if you don't give you machine gun fire when you are fighting, it is not a matter at all.

Several people were talking, and the nine machine gun squads spent more than half an hour disassembling and teaching the use of machine guns.

There are many veterans of the heavy fire company, and thanks to Zhang Wei's excessive use of the heavy machine gun company in the Battle of Lanfeng, the casualty rate of the heavy machine gunners is not high, leaving a lot of seeds.

The teaching of the use of the modification was carried out very quickly, including the use of the anti-aircraft machine gun rod, and the addition of the anti-aircraft rod, and the installation of disc sights and cartridge chains, the machine gun could be transformed into an anti-aircraft firing state.

"Da-da, da-da"

The assembled machine guns began to fire, and the sound of heavy machine gun gunfire rang out one after another from the range, and nine machine guns fired at the same time, which sounded as if they were firing continuously.

The metal chain makes a crisp impact sound when firing, and the ZB37 uses a metal chain or a cloth chain.

There are many more holes on the target of the fire company......
