456. The Great Contest of the Whole Army

If the common people are in an oppressed and miserable living environment and see the invasion of foreign enemies, many people who are not highly conscious will naturally help outsiders and fight their own people.

Not to mention, in this Battle of Songhu, Sangou and they encountered a lot of traitors, signaling Japanese aircraft, giving directions to Japanese troops, and even sabotaging the communications and logistics of the national army.

This kind of traitor, a large part of them sell themselves for money, which is really hateful, but I have to admit that there are still some of them who forced them to embark on this road.

Don't go that far, anyway, Sangou attaches great importance to this military discipline, and the discipline of the regular army is still very strict, and those gambling, drug abuse, and going to the kiln, once caught, no one can keep it, and it is basically dealt with strictly.

Military discipline is the guarantee of a unit's combat effectiveness, many people do not think so, thinking that the military discipline of the Japanese army is also very poor, that is only in a foreign country, you ask the Japanese army to invade their own people in their own country to try, and strict military discipline every minute teaches him to be a man.

In a foreign country, they did not rely on the Chinese anyway, nor did they think that the Chinese would throw so many of them, and in the entire World War II, China's surrender was the largest in the world, more than the Japanese army in China.

This is another issue, and I will not discuss it, but of course it has something to do with the lax military discipline in some parts of China or in the miscellaneous armies.

Many people use the excuse that local and miscellaneous units do not receive enough military pay and equipment from the government to undermine military discipline and connive at soldiers to rob the people.

This is all an excuse, some armies will not, such as the Eighth Route Army, never get sufficient replenishment from the government, but instead of robbing the people, they mobilize the masses to be self-reliant, and even have surplus food to finance the people.

This is the gap, in the same way, those places with loose military discipline and miscellaneous units naturally have low combat effectiveness, and they are not on the same level as the Eighth Route Army.

These are related to political topics, Sangou never touches the sidelines, and he generally uses popular terms for the people below:

If you want to live well, if you have the ability, you can snatch it from the devil, that is a hero. Snatching from the hands of unarmed people, what kind of heroes and heroes, bullshit.

We are all sons of the common people, what would you think if other armies went to your house to steal something? In the same way, if you do such a hurtful thing, if someone's son is also in the army, what will people think?

……

In April this year, the Military Commission will conduct a review of the units resting in the rear, and the 74 th Army will be pulled to Huangpi to review it, which is a big event, because the recruits have been trained for several months, and they have to be pulled out for a walk as mules and horses.

Under such a difficult situation for the country, they still tighten their stomachs, pay money, guns, and send people to everyone to train, and they don't have good results, don't say they're sorry for the country, and they're sorry for their months of eating and drinking for nothing.

In order to cautiously face this review, the 74 th Army first conducted a large-scale internal contest of the whole army, comparing it all the way from the grassroots level, rewarding those who achieved good results, and circulating criticism to those who did poorly.

My good man, Sangou didn't want to make a bad name in front of the whole army, so he pulled the whole company and started a new round of hard training.

The big contest is divided into individual events and groups, and the individual events include shooting, stabbing and bomb throwing, fortification, obstacle course and armed cross-country.

It happens to be the training content of Sangou in the past few months, and some people still wonder if Sangou knew about this in advance, where did Sangou know, only know that these are general projects, and which troops are going to train these projects.

In the single event of shooting, there are talents to press the field, and it is estimated that they can get a good ranking, but it is difficult to say that within the whole army, the entire 74th Army, now there are more than 20,000 people, and there are many sharpshooters.

I heard that there is a master in the 58th Division, who went to the mountains at night to hunt birds, listened to the sound of the position, and the gun was not missing.

The single competition belongs to the selection of layers of competitions, first participating in the camp competition, Xiucai took Xia Chen and Chen Yanxin, two rising stars, in the camp against the players of the eighth and ninth companies, almost directly crushing the advantage.

You must know that the players of the Eighth and Ninth Companies are also apprentices of the Xiucai Shooting Training Class, and it is estimated that the shooting players in the entire regiment are all apprentices of Xiucai.

In front of the apprentice, if the master doesn't come up with some tricks, how can he do it, anyone can lose, but he can't lose to the apprentice, how faceless it is.

Although it is a matter of satisfaction for every master to be better than blue, in the face of the competition, no master will calmly accept the reality of losing to his apprentice.

The shooting competition is divided into three types: the lying position, the kneeling position, and the standing position of the 100-meter target for the rifle, plus the standing position for the 25-meter target of the pistol. 10 shots per pose, the full score is 400 rings.

There are two kinds of lying posture and kneeling posture of the rifle 100-meter target, and the difference between the players is not large, and there are also eight and nine companies that can hit ten rings, but when it comes to the rifle pistol in the standing position, the gap comes out.

Several players in the eighth and ninth companies made mistakes one after another, and some even hit the seven rings and eight rings, especially the 25-meter target of the pistol, and there were still people who missed the target, which was really shocking, this is the best shooter in the whole battalion.

In fact, it is normal, don't look at the distance of the pistol's 25-meter target is very close, but the pistol has not been fully adjusted for accuracy due to the short barrel and the short rotation time of the bullet in the chamber.

Many times, it is not under the control of the shooter, and the tension of the game, the slight stiffness of the hand muscles is almost a thousand miles.

Pistol shooting depends on the shooter's own practice and mastery of the temperament of the pistol to control some of it, but it is almost impossible to control it 100%.

In the end, the results came out, and none of the six players in the eight or nine consecutive had a total score of 360 rings, that is, 40 shots down, and the average of 9 rings had not yet been reached, and the results were very average.

Of the three players in the seventh company, Chen Yanxin reached 366 rings and Xia Chen 368 rings, and the results just passed the average 9 rings, which was average.

Xiucai's results haven't come out yet, everyone feels that there is no need to announce it, there is no suspense, after all, it is the chief instructor of the regimental shooting, 388 rings, and the results of the second and third places, which have been stretched very open, a full 20 rings.

Xiucai was very disappointed, he felt that he shouldn't have such a bad result, his rifle got a perfect score of 300 rings, and the pistol only had 88 rings, probably because he usually had less pistols, it seems that if he wants to go further, he has to strengthen his pistol practice.

Therefore, as soon as the shooting competition at the battalion headquarters ended, Sangou went to get a batch of pistol bullets back and gave them to Xiucai to practice, using his 88 rings as the coordinates, and recording the results and training experience after every ten bullets.

The pistol shooting competition gun was the most common barge gun in the army at that time, which was more powerful than ordinary pistols and had more ammunition, similar to a miniature submachine gun.

The shell gun is very suitable for assault at short distances or in a small space, and it is flexible and powerful, so it is very favored by middle and low-level officers in the army, and almost everyone has one.

Several major arsenals of the Ministry of Military Affairs were able to copy the gun later, so the production was high, and the supply of bullets was relatively sufficient, and many officers did not care about the saving of bullets.

Going into battle is a shuttle past, and the bullet is thrown away when the gun is finished, anyway, it's useless to keep it in your hands, just throw it back and get another one.

Such a big deal, naturally does not pay attention to the practice of pistol marksmanship, and Xiucai is different, he does not care about carrying a shell gun on his back, but rarely uses it, and the rifle is not left all day long, and the most used is the rifle.
