Can fight, win battles! Zhang Chi has heard this countless times in modern times, and he has always thought that it was just a slogan, but today, he suddenly found that this sentence is the truth of the battlefield......
To put it simply, the most direct benefit of following an officer who "can fight and win wars" is that there is more hope of survival.
What could be more important than surviving?
So naturally, if you can "fight and win battles", you can easily gain the trust and respect of your subordinates.
Just like now, Zhang Chi has always felt that his performance is very bad, he has no military quality and no charm, and even his timid and afraid of death side is fully revealed in front of his subordinates. But he eventually won the trust of the rogue, a subordinate who had been dismissive of him.
The reason is very simple, it is because Zhang Chi can fight, and he can win battles!
Looking at the elated comrades-in-arms around him, and feeling the admiring gaze they threw at him, Zhang Chi gradually found that his goal was no longer just the original question of saving his own life, but also the problem of saving the lives of these subordinates who believed in letting themselves and put their lives in his hands.
Suddenly, Zhang Chi felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy, which made him a little breathless, but at the same time there was an inexplicable sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
Under the orderly organization of officers at all levels, tanks, armored vehicles, and other equipment were quickly distributed and driven into the jungle as battalions to hide.
This is not difficult for the engineer regiment, after all, the engineer regiment has never been in contact with cars and other things when performing tasks in peacetime, and the predecessor of the 200th Division was an armored regiment, and there are not a few soldiers who know tanks and other equipment.
The difficulty is in how to operate these tanks and guns.
Just like Zhang Chi and others fought in the battle of the tile step bridge before, although they knew how to shoot a tank, how to shoot machine guns and even open artillery, but some of the instruments on the tank were not able to understand what they were doing, and some equipment was not known for what they were doing...... The luck was that the tank they were driving was able to hit several cars loaded with ammunition and cause a chain explosion.
Although the problem of firearms is relatively small, after all, the bolt rifles are almost the same, and the veteran will be able to fight with the British's rifle for a while, but when you go to the battlefield, you can not only shoot guns, such as how to maintain guns, what precautions are there, etc.
Wang Mazi's first thought was the British army, wasn't the expeditionary force an ally of the British army at this time? It's not enough to have your allies send a team of instructors over to teach them!
But it's not that simple......
What would the British do if they knew that the expeditionary force had captured such a large amount of equipment? Will they demand that the expeditionary force return the equipment to them? Will the expeditionary force be returned or not?
For this reason, or to reduce unnecessary trouble, Wang Mazi did not make a request to the British army...... Such concerns proved to be justified, because in the ensuing battle, the British found out that the expeditionary force had this batch of equipment, and soon came to the door.
Of course, that's all for later.
In fact, Dai Anlan also took these problems into account, and his solution to this problem was...... Send two men.
One of these two people is surnamed Zhang Qing, and the other is Huang Leiming.
Zhang Qingzhi was a major, originally the deputy commander of the tank battalion, and the only three tanks in Tonggu were commanded by him. The reason why he was sent instead of others was because this deputy battalion commander had studied at the American ** school and drove Yankee's M3 and M4 tanks...... There are still many soldiers in the expeditionary force who stayed abroad, such as Sun Liren who studied in the United States, Liao Yaoxiang who studied in France, and those who stayed in Germany and Britain.
This is because as early as the 30s, when the Japanese army invaded the three northeastern provinces, the Kuomintang recognized the gap between China and the world powers, so it consciously sent domestic talents to study abroad.
Zhang Qing was one of them, so the problem of tanks was solved, and Zhang Qingchong was in charge of training as an instructor.
Huang Leiming is a lieutenant company commander, he is not a "returnee", the reason why he was sent here is because he is a Hong Kong native who has served as a soldier and received training in the British Army Hong Kong Garrison...... Of course, the gun used in training was Enfield, so he was naturally in charge of firearms.
The training began on the evening of the same day, mainly because there was not much time left for them to train due to the tight fighting, and the soldiers of the Engineer Regiment were willing to give up their rest time to train, and even Zhang Chi, who had always had a negative attitude, did not complain...... This is a matter of his own life, if the gun won't shoot when he goes to the battlefield in a few days, isn't it just sending his head to little Japan to be cut off?!
That's why some people say that a day on the battlefield may be worth a month on the training ground, for no other reason, training on the battlefield can be said to be an extremely cruel survival of the fittest, and if you practice well, you will live, and if you don't practice well, it is very likely to mean death. Under this kind of pressure, which can be said to be related to their own survival, everyone will study desperately.
Zhang Chi didn't want to die, so he could only use all the available time to practice shooting, maintenance, tactics, and so on.
But practicing and practicing Zhang Chi feels a little wrong.
I also know a little about Enfield's rifle. He knew very well that Enfield was a very good rifle, not only because it was powerful and long-range, but also because of its fast rate of fire...... While other pull-bolt rifles can only fire five to eight rounds a minute, the Enfield rifle can fire more than thirty perverted rounds in a minute. And this is still the firing speed of an ordinary soldier, and a skilled soldier may fire 38 rounds a minute. (Note: Enfield uses a rotary rear pull bolt, which saves time and effort to pull the bolt and is easier to operate, and the ammunition capacity is 10 rounds, which is twice that of a regular bolt rifle).
You must know that the crooked machine gun of the Japanese devil only fires about 120 rounds a minute.
In other words, every four Enfield rifles are equivalent to one crooked-handled machine gun...... This firepower can often overwhelm the enemy without even raising his head, or can inflict heavy casualties on the enemy in the first round. This is the reason why opponents, when facing the British Enfield, often think that the British have many machine guns shooting at them. It is also because of this that the Enfield rifle has the saying "crazy minute".
However, although it is easier to operate and the rate of fire is faster because Enfield is easier to operate, it is still not to the level of "crazy minute"!
