Chapter 930: The bomb throwing technique is strong
In fact, the performance of the red instructors is too bright and blind.
To paraphrase the advertising slogan that everyone in later generations knows: If the bomb throwing technology is strong, it must be the Red My Party.
Originally, as soon as the ten soldiers selected by Ye Zihua came out of the ranks, not to mention the others, even Zhang Ruhao himself was a little guilty. This Ye Zihua is too good at picking people, not to mention the sergeants who are all picked, they are all strong men.
Indeed, judging from their stature alone, the ten new instructors were a lot weaker than most of the ten sergeants with big shoulders and round waists. Bomb throwing is not running, it requires both physical strength and sufficient endurance, and if you want to throw quickly and accurately, sufficient strength and skillful training are almost the decisive factors.
It is clear that the sergeants of the Separate Regiment are definitely not short of training.
Because considering that they might fight the Japanese in the Battle of Songhu in the future, if there is no heavy firepower, the grenade is the most powerful offensive and defensive weapon in individual combat. Especially when encountering Japanese armored troops or pillbox fortifications. The defensive grenades used in plain and mountain operations were too small in the past, and although they were easy to carry and carried in larger quantities, they obviously could no longer meet the needs of operations in different battlefields.
As early as a year ago, Liu Lang ordered the Qinglong Machinery Factory, which was subordinate to the base of the Independent Regiment, to start producing long-handled grenades imitating the Third Reich system, with a larger charge and a longer throwing distance, and they could be tied together to make cluster bombs as a last resort. Details determine success or failure, in the face of the upcoming national war, every time Liu Lang thinks more, he will reduce his casualties and leave a little more blood of the Japanese invaders.
It was the 500 veterans of the 19th Route Army who began to support the independent regiment, and in the first battle of the Great Wall, there were still more than 300 veterans left of the 500 veterans, and almost all of them were promoted to sergeants in the past two years and continued to become the core force of the independent regiment.
And this time, a teaching team was set up to participate in the training, and there were 100 sergeant places, and 90 of these veterans came. This is also normal, many company commanders and platoon commanders are promoted by veterans, and they are also their old brothers, who can they take care of if they don't take care of them? This kind of "small mountain" phenomenon can only be ignored even if Liu Lang knows it, not to mention that the military skills of these veterans are also very strong.
And these veterans come from Tiannan, Haibei and all provinces, China has been a northerner since ancient times, and the southerners are small but flexible. However, Ye Zihua is also a little arrogant, and specially selected ten of the 100 sergeants, except for three of them who are Cantonese and basically belong to the red instructors from Jiangxi, Hunan, and Hubei, who belong to the thin southern China, the rest are either Shaanxi, Hebei or Northeast China, all of them are more than 1.75 meters tall, and they have been raised in the independent group for two years, and they are even more big men.
A long-handled grenade weighing more than 600 grams is like taking a bean sprout, and the distance of dozens of meters is almost where to hit and throw. You must know that the soldiers of the Independent Regiment threw the most powerful grenade for training was more than 130 meters, which was almost as good as the 170-meter range of the grenadier in the early days of the little devil.
Of course, that is also training, in actual combat, standard grenades are generally delayed by four or five seconds, that is, they can be thrown so far, I am afraid that the grenade will explode in mid-air before reaching the destination.
The ten veterans of the independent regiment selected by the instructors lived up to the meat and eggs they ate every day, their posture was standard, their arms were full of strength, and their throwing was quite accurate, and the fifty grenades were almost like fifty small mortar shells out of the chamber, removing the straw men lying on their stomachs within the target range thirty or forty meters away from the position, almost in one fell swoop.
Seeing that several instructors couldn't help but applaud, it was definitely the dream of their middle and low-level officers to have such soldiers. These veterans all have this ability.
However, when the ten red instructors placed the grenades that had all unscrewed the back caps and threw them like raindrops, everyone was stunned by these people.
The red instructors also threw accurately, and after fifty loud bangs, the scarecrow that simulated the enemy army was blown up with missing arms and legs, and basically not intact, if there was really a platoon attacking there, these fifty grenades could leave at least a third of the people.
The people present are all veterans of the army, and this little judgment is still there. Even an elite like the Independent Regiment encountered such a rain of bullets similar to mortar shells in front of an unobstructed position, and it is estimated that there would be heavy casualties.
But it was not their accuracy that shocked them, as did the previously trained sergeants, who were almost every one of them throwing grenades that would kill the enemy.
What made Liu Tuanzuo couldn't help but bared his teeth was that the red instructors were not only accurate, but also fast. It's so fast that it's a little dizzying. It's fast, and it's a little painfulγγγγγγ
The sergeants of the Independent Regiment threw grenades in the trenches, which were strictly in accordance with the technical actions of Liu Tuanzuo according to the training manual of the future red troops: first unscrew the bullet cover with the right hand in the counterclockwise direction, pierce the moisture-proof paper with the index finger, directly put the fire ring on the root of the little finger, hand the grenade to the right hand and hold it according to the essentials (four fingers roll to hold the wooden handle, and the little finger is bent at the end of the wooden handle), and then stand up and stand in the direction of the throw, when you hear the first "throw" command, the right foot takes a step back, turns the body sideways and slowly detonates the bullet, Throw the bullet according to the essentials and quickly crouch down to conceal it before moving on to the next throw.
The whole throwing essentials can be summarized into three words: that is, "one tight, two slow, three fast", "tight" is to hold the bullet; "Slow" means that the detonation should be slow; "Fast" means that squatting and concealing should be fast. So, the reason why the sergeants of the Independence Regiment threw grenades with such a professional feeling was that all their technical movements were uniform, from unscrewing the lid to throwing the grenade to crouching down to continue to hold the second grenade.
The explosion point of ten grenades at a time also basically covers the position in front of them, and it can also achieve the good effect of suppressing the enemy with grenade fire.
But the ten new instructors were different, they unscrewed the back cover of the grenade to their feet early, and after hearing an order, as soon as they pulled their fingers, the grenade began to smoke, and they threw the grenade with the force of a forward pounce, not looking at the explosion point at all, and quickly squatted down and concocted the next one in the same way, which was twice as fast as the sergeants of the independent regiment.
Although there is no unified posture such as turning the body and twisting the waist sideways, and it does not look as unified and coordinated as the sergeants of the Independent Regiment, their results are not the same.
Moreover, their way of not letting the grenade stay in their hands at all is very consistent with the positioning of the 40-meter distance, the fuse time of this long-handled grenade is four seconds, and the distance of about 40 meters is almost the limit of the grenade's flight in the air, and it explodes just after landing, leaving no time for the enemy to react. On the other hand, the sergeants of the Independent Regiment often stayed in their hands for more than half a second because of their slightly complicated technical movements, so many of their grenades exploded in mid-air when they flew to their destinations.
Generally speaking, the attack distance of the grenade is less than 30 meters, if it is a short distance of 20 meters or more than 10 meters, when the general experienced fighter will stay in his hand for a second or two before throwing it, when the grenade falls near the target, there is a delay of one or two seconds at most.
As for whether the grenade will be picked up and thrown back by the enemy, except for a few examples of dogs jumping off the wall in a hurry, no one is stupid enough to pick up a smoking grenade, and the biggest possibility is that the grenade exploded as soon as it was held. When a grenade has not exploded, the best thing to do is to lie down on the spot to avoid being killed by shrapnel from the grenade.
And the secret to their faster throwing is to unscrew the back of the grenade at the beginning, which is never allowed in training. This situation will only appear in real combat, and it is the most critical moment of the battle.
However, looking at the expressions that the red instructors were accustomed to, Liu Lang could only smile bitterly. They, I'm afraid, are used to doing this, and in the past few years, they have been fighting in actual combat, and they don't need to train at all.
Liu Lang believed a statistic at this time, in the entire all-out war, the national army dropped a grenade for every 74 rounds of bullets, while the red army dropped a grenade for every five rounds of bullets. The grenade is their most commonly used offensive and defensive equipment.
There is a statistic in the famous Battle of the Hundred Regiments in time and space, which wiped out about 20,000 Japanese puppet troops, consuming more than 70,000 bullets, 19,000 artillery shells, and 13,000 grenades. Just thinking about the scene of grenades falling like raindrops in close combat, Liu Tuanzuo couldn't help but feel numb for the scalp of those unlucky eggs. In such a dense explosion, no matter how good your skills are, I'm afraid you can only survive with the blessing of the old genius!
It is obvious that the grenade was used as a sharp offensive and defensive weapon of the red army in the war against Japan because the red army had such a tradition, and the grenade was definitely the master of the master; Second, bullets are really hard to make, but grenades are easy to make.
Get some explosives, make an iron-shelled bullet body, insert a fuse, and a wooden handle, and a grenade that can send at least two enemy soldiers to the west when you hit the target is simply the best killing weapon.
Obviously, the grenade throwing part is the victory of the new science instructors without any suspense, and in the case of poor accuracy, the shorter the time, the more grenades are thrown, the greater the damage will be caused. If these ten were to attack each other with grenades, I am afraid that the red instructors would have to survive a little more.
These red soldiers, who don't know how much actual combat they have gone through and have melted the grenade into their bone marrow, told Liu Tuanzuo and his soldiers a truth with a near-crushing gap: posture is not important, strength is not important, and even accuracy is not important, the important thing is that you have to repel the enemy in the shortest possible time, otherwise, before you finish throwing the grenade in your hand, the enemy will rush up.
The bomb-throwing instinct, which had been tempered by actual combat, finally completely defeated the training faction at this moment.
