Chapter 351: Shooting Experience and New Weapons
Dada-da
A ZB37 heavy machine gun opened fire, and the squad leader who operated the gun adjusted the gauge and muzzle elevation angle of the gun, and fired a continuous shot. After the gunshots, the observer used his binoculars to look at the targets piled up in the distance, which were still intact on the ground.
Zhang Wei and Li Shaoyan were next to this machine gun, and the machine gun squad leader couldn't help but be a little nervous, beyond shooting, it was originally a shooting method with relatively high technical difficulty, and now Zhang Wei, the captain, was still beside him, and the squad leader was inevitably nervous, and all the bullets that were fired flew to other places.
"Relax, keep fighting." Zhang Wei said that it was originally a test shot, and it was nothing if he missed the first shot.
The squad leader adjusted the gauge and elevation angle, pulled the trigger again, and fired a string of bullets, this time a target was knocked to the ground, and repeated it several times, shooting out more than a hundred bullets, and finally knocked the set target to the ground.
The remaining eight heavy machine guns also carried out transcendence shooting one after another, Zhang Wei personally went up to knock out the bullets of a cartridge box, compared with the previous Min-24 heavy machine guns, this batch of Czech ZB37 heavy machine guns started very quickly, Min-24 often fired hundreds of rounds, it is difficult to master the essentials of over-shooting.
These Czech-made heavy machine guns fired more than 100 rounds, and the shooters could have a general experience. During the shooting, Li Shaoyan gave full play to his expertise in the communications section and recorded the data of each shooting with paperwork.
The number of bullets consumed, as well as the scale of the ruler at the time of firing, the damage to the target, and the range of the projectile.
After the shooting, Zhang Wei and the squad leader of the machine gun squad discussed the experience of surpassing shooting.
Zhang Wei has seen the 24-type transcendence shooting before, he is actually not very interested in this shooting method, the 24-style transcendence shooting is more complicated, Zhang Wei is often worried that accidental injuries will occur, but today's Czech heavy machine gun performance is very good, through the results to sum up the experience.
After discussing with the shooters, Zhang Wei believed that the machine gun exceeded the killing area of the shot, which was both changing and regular.
Different distances, different rulers under the killing range is completely different, the bullet shot out by the machine gun is an arc, the first half of this arc, the bullet is flying in mid-air, the maximum range is four kilometers, the bullet will fall after flying to the limit, dozens of bullets will be in the process of falling because of the bullet walking, forming a killing area, dangerous area.
The purpose of the Beyond Shot is to use this area to strike at enemy forces.
According to Li Shaoyan's recorded bullet walking and target damage, Zhang Wei and the shooters found that the farther the meter was fired, the closer the bullet hit, and the more slender the killing area formed when the bullet fell, and the larger the killing area was when the shooting range was long.
At a distance of 500 yards, the final area of the bullet can be 150 yards long and only 1 yard wide, and at a distance of 2,500 yards, the final zone is 60 yards long and 5 yards wide.
The repeated firing of the heavy fire squadron verified this principle, and the firing results under the same firing elements were basically stable, as long as the firing elements were fired in accordance with the prescribed firing elements, the final firing area formed was roughly the same.
With this conclusion, it is easy to do, the firing stability and comprehensive performance of these Czech heavy machine guns are much stronger than those of the Type 24.
After Zhang Wei and Li Shaoyan discussed, they asked the heavy fire squadron to repeatedly test fire in future training, and summarized the lethal area statistics at different distances and different gauge correction scales, and compiled them into a booklet for the shooters to master proficiently.
These things with regularity, shooters can memorize even rote memorization as long as they practice repeatedly, let alone machine gun shooters with practical experience.
For example, in the face of the Japanese infantry hiding in the trenches, the slender killing area is definitely not good, and the killing area must be wide in order to effectively kill the soldiers in the trenches.
With a fixed routine, it is much more convenient to operate in actual combat.
In the past, Zhang Wei did not dare to engage in machine gun shooting in the offensive to cover the attacking troops, and the reason was still the problem of machine guns and training.
As long as the heavy fire squadron is skillfully operated, the infantry can get machine gun fire reinforcements from the heavy fire squadron when charging in future attack operations.
The bullet flew over the infantry and smashed into the Japanese position in an arc, suppressing the Japanese firepower and killing and injuring the living force of the Japanese army, which was of great significance to the infantry of the teaching brigade.
Zhang Wei ordered Li Shaoyan to supervise the heavy fire squadron to repeatedly train according to the recorded killing range, strengthen shooting experience, and let all machine gun crews master the method of surpassing shooting.
The heavy firepower squadron began to teach and train beyond shooting, and the company-level tactical training of each infantry squadron was in full swing, and the entire teaching brigade was immersed in enthusiastic training.
The weapons and equipment that Deputy Division Commander Liao promised to distribute to the cadets have also been transferred to the teaching brigade, a complete infantry company with weapons and equipment, a total of more than 80 brand-new Chinese rifles, nine Czech light machine guns, and more than 160 sets of brand-new military uniforms and combat equipment.
In order to strengthen teaching, Zhang Wei was given 10 grenadiers and two Type 24 heavy machine guns as teaching aids, which was equivalent to giving an extra platoon of mortars.
The Min-24 heavy machine gun is the main heavy machine gun of the current army, and it is more suitable for teaching the cadets than the Czech-made ZB37 heavy machine gun of the teaching brigade.
In order to train this batch of military cadets well, the division has allocated a lot of things, and Zhang Wei does not dare to slack off, the purpose of his initial request for the establishment of a teaching brigade is to train low-level officers, and to use the change in the command ability of low-level officers to enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops, this is his goal, and now that he has the conditions to carry it out to the end, how can Zhang Wei not do his best?
When the equipment was pulled, the division allocated a batch of new equipment to the teaching brigade, which was a batch of new-style weapons, and the equipment box indicated the model of the weapon, which was actually a newly made gun grenade made by the 27th Factory, and the model name was Type 28, and the full name was the national-made Type 28 gun grenade.
This is another new type of weapon after the domestically produced Type 27 grenadier canister, which is a new weapon developed by the rear arsenal after the start of the war.
This batch of grenades is said to have been developed and produced by the Russians in the arsenal, and there are 35 grenade barrels sent to them, as well as 28 grenade instruction manuals issued by the arsenal.
