In the open space behind the playground of the preparatory camp, behind the recruits who are training, a team of more than 100 people is standing in the open space, these soldiers are wearing grass green semi-coarse cloth uniforms, a steel helmet shines dazzlingly in the sun, and on the right side of the steel helmet, a porcelain blue sky and white sun badge is firmly inlaid here. The recruits of the X heavy machine gun company, the M35 steel helmet, have been issued to them in advance, and the other recruits who are training do not have this preferential treatment.

The soldiers stood in squads, the squad leader and deputy squad leader of each squad were all sergeants who led the soldiers to teach the use of the Soviet armament, with a leather belt around their waists, and a round bronze medal hung on the sergeant's collar badge, and the heavy machine gun icon representing their identity was prominently displayed on the sign, and the machine gunner behind him, the reserve shooter and the driver, the saddle worker, and the ammunition hand stood behind the squad leader in turn, and there were three or four squad soldiers without fixed duties, holding a Zhongzheng rifle, a belt grenade belt, and a dress of rifle combatants of an infantry company.

In front of each of the six heavy machine gun squads were their weapons - the Soviet-style Maxim heavy machine gun, a huge barrel painted in emerald green, protected by a barrel filled with cooling water injected by a water tank through a conduit, under the barrel of a machine gun mounted consisting of two wheels and a gun carriage, and on the side was a box of ammunition for 250 rounds, fed by canvas cartridge belts. A machine gun squad, in addition to firearms and equipment, should also be carried by horses and saddle saddles, and when Zhang Wei's preparation battalion received the equipment, saddles were allocated, but the horses were not in place.

Zhang Wei looked at the heavy machine gun company that had been organized and trained into an army, and was very satisfied, although he currently had to put a question mark on the tactical level of the machine gun company, but at least, the shelf was erected, and the sergeants under him who taught the use of Su weapons were all responsible for the positions of squad leader, deputy squad leader and gun commander, and now Zhang Wei planned to hand over the positions of the three platoon commanders to these sergeants, one reason was the lack of personnel, Zhang Wei did not want to let an officer with no combat experience be the position of machine gun platoon leader, and he did not want to be dumb when he should ask for fire support.

After a general glance, Zhang Wei finally made a satisfactory expression and nodded lightly: "Brothers, everyone has worked hard, the work of the machine gun company is not easy to do, especially those recruits, they gritted their teeth and did it, no one ran, yes, I thank you here, and thanks to the sergeants, you can train such a machine gun company." After speaking, Zhang Wei glanced at the three sergeants standing behind him, these people are the leaders of the sergeants in the heavy machine gun company, and they did not go down to each squad as a squad leader during training, but organized and managed the training in a unified manner.

"Battalion commander, it's okay, so let's start?" One person said to Zhang Wei that after the formation was completed, it was necessary to start the heavy machine-gun position construction exercise and the live-fire exercise.

Zhang Wei nodded, and casually designated two squads, and the sergeant behind him hurriedly ordered: "Second shift and five squads, prepare!" ”

Zhang Wei took a few steps forward and looked at the two classes he had pointed out. He gave his first exercise order for a heavy machine-gun company.

"Advance ten meters forward, build fortifications on the spot, and shoot straight ahead!"

"Yes!" The leaders of the second and fifth classes replied in unison.

The two squads quickly moved, the squad leader, the deputy squad leader and the gun commander were all sergeants, and the soldiers of the squad quickly moved under their command, for the tactics of the use of heavy machine guns, Zhang Wei mentioned the tactics of using heavy machine guns in the education of officers and sergeants every night, and generally liked to place the heavy machine guns directly on the front line, not to mention that they were easy to be attacked by the Japanese army's flat fire guns, from the perspective of killing and injuring the enemy, with the Japanese army's skirmish line formation and the interval of individual soldiers, the heavy machine guns were simply arranged in the first line positionIn the Battle of Songhu, how many troops' heavy machine guns were all reimbursed in this way, and they were wiped out together with the machine gun crew, and the correct placement of positions on both sides of the position and in the rear direction of the side can form a larger killing surface to hit the Japanese army, but unfortunately, the vast majority of the squadrons could not do it at all.

Zhang Wei has never personally grasped the earthwork and position construction of the heavy machine gun company, and all the training tasks are entrusted to the sergeants.

"Quick, lift up, forward, dig a trench!"

With the order of the heavy machine gun squad leader, the soldiers first laboriously removed the gun body and gun carriage, and then the gun commander made a force, desperately carrying the gun body of the heavy machine gun, two reserve shooters picked up the gun carriage and moved forward, the driver and the saddler assisted on the side, the ammunition soldier carried a wooden bullet box on the left and right hands, and the water tank and water hose were carried by the riflemen and the driver. The two infantry squads quickly rushed forward ten meters, and the second squad was obviously faster, rushing out before the fifth squad had finished unloading its guns.

The transfer distance of ten meters was quickly completed, and the gun commander quickly ordered the gun to be closed, the cooling water pipe and water tank were installed, and when the heavy machine gun was assembled, all the men began to dig the position, and the soldiers took small shovels and small pickaxes to dig the ground hard. Thus began the excavation of two heavy machine-gun emplacements.........

Zhang Wei didn't react, looking at the progress of their homework, he couldn't say anything now, and he had a feeling that it was not good or bad.

With a few symbolic gunshots--- the exercise of the two squads was over, and the soldiers of the heavy machine gun squad who had completed the exercise stood sweating profusely and looked at Zhang Wei in the heavy machine gun position they had just dug up.

"Yingza, how are they doing?" The sergeant behind him asked cautiously.

"Not bad, right?" After speaking, Zhang Wei walked towards the two heavy machine gun squads. The sergeant behind him hurriedly followed, for fear that Zhang Wei would go away.

"Sir!" Zhang Wei stopped at the side of the heavy machine gun position, the squad leaders of the two squads on the left and right saluted him, and the soldiers also saluted, Zhang Wei returned a salute and began to look at the fortifications they had completed, generally speaking, it was not bad, the front was narrow, the heavy machine gun was placed on the flat outside the frontal trench, and the soldiers of the heavy machine gun squad behind the gun commander were all in a small position, and the ammunition boxes and water tanks were stacked in the gap between several people.

"It's a good job, but there are a few things you still need to pay attention to, and you have to remember it when you train in the future." Zhang Wei glanced at the three sergeants following behind him.

"First of all, let's talk about maneuvering, your maneuvering distance just now, that is, the distance you ran is more than a dozen steps, at this time, you don't need to disassemble this heavy machine gun, you can carry the gun carriage forward with several people, if you load and unload back and forth, it is too time-consuming and laborious."

"Yes, sir, but when Lao Maozi and the instructor taught us in the past, they taught us like this." The squad leader of the third class said.

Zhang Wei smiled: "The rules are dead, not to mention that what they said should be a long-distance transfer of positions, when we have a short distance, we can be more flexible and jump forward with a gun, you say yes." ”

"Yes, sir." The sergeant behind him was a little embarrassed, and his voice was a little quieter.

"Okay, it's not a lesson for you, you're all doing a good job, and the next time you do the fortifications, you can dig a bigger one in the back, and the ammunition and people are more scattered, which is safe and comfortable." Zhang Wei pointed to the somewhat crowded trench.

Zhang Wei said some more details, looking at the machine gun company training into the army, the three sergeants have been accompanying the whole process, Zhang Wei gave two orders when leaving the queue of the heavy machine gun company, one is that the machine gun company can reduce the training time of the soldiers by an hour in the afternoon, so that everyone can take a break, in addition, he also told the three sergeants who have been following him, the three platoons of the heavy machine gun company, and they will be handed over to you in the future, that is, Zhang Wei appointed them as platoon commanders.

The three sergeants have been soldiers for a long time, anyway, they are longer than Zhang Wei, and when they heard that Zhang Wei made them platoon commanders, they were all full of red light, and they all wanted to fight hard for Zhang Wei, before and after the saddle.

Zhang Wei could only sigh, radish and stick,
