"Let's hook!" A 6.5mm bullet with a large cover of 38 flew out of Lin Xingping's K-43 helmet, scaring him into a cold sweat.

Shortly after he came out of the boot camp, he still remembered the instructor's repeated words, "Don't expect the steel helmet on your head to block a rifle bullet!" ”

Even though he did not know that the K-43 helmet was a template for the M-56 series steel helmets of East Germany, and that it was produced on a large scale by Huaxia itself in accordance with the steel material formula of the Imperial Institute of Defense Science and Technology of Germany, which was developing Type B and BII steel helmets, he knew that the K-43 helmets installed in the Huaxia Wehrmacht since last year had always been known for their strong protective performance.

Someone once fired directly at a 15-meter high-powered pistol from Bai Langning, but there was no penetration or crack.

But a steel helmet is a steel helmet, it can block some of the flying shrapnel of artillery shells, can block the mid-range surprise attack of pistol bullets, and may also be able to block long-range stray bullets from rifles, but it was never designed to directly block short-range attacks from rifle bullets.

"Even if a rifle bullet can't penetrate your helmet, it can break your neck in an instant!" The instructors of the recruit battalion gave them a demonstration of live ammunition and could only break the neck of the dummy, but yesterday one of Lin Xingping's comrades-in-arms was hit in the head by a 7.62mm rifle bullet from a Mosinagan rifle twenty meters away.

Although his helmet saved his life, allowing the bullet to clip between the steel helmet and not piercing his skull again, the massive impact of the moment still made his head droop limply.

If it weren't for the veteran who followed and called the medical guards in time, I am afraid that the broken neck alone would have suffocated him to death.

These recruits will not be sent directly to the front line, at most they will follow the veterans to clean up the battlefield and experience the cruelty of the battlefield.

Even if it's not as dangerous as the Southern Jungle, as long as it's a battlefield after a fierce battle, there will definitely be danger lurking.

Although most of the Japanese soldiers on Sakhalin were new recruits, there were still some veterans. Having suffered a lot from the Chinese soldiers, they knew that it was impossible to make a profit whether it was fighting firepower or close combat. So they also learned to fight guerrillas. They hid in hidden fortifications. Or in the ruins, secretly shoot cold guns, just to kill and injure a few more Chinese soldiers before they die.

Lin Xingping was wounded by a Japanese veteran who was hiding in a tree 600 meters away. But it's a pity that this Japanese's sniper skills are a little worse, not to mention the lack of fatal accuracy and luck in a long-distance hit, just hiding in the trees of the concealment means, first cut off his own retreat, the rest can only be a dead end.

"Phew!" Chen Ergou, who led the team to suppress the formation, was the first to sound the gunfire of the counterattack, and quickly put away his beloved Mauser 98K sniper rifle, and quickly crawled away from behind a dirt bag.

Even now, this post-war battlefield is already full of Chinese soldiers. But years of sniping experience have made him a habit of shooting in a different place and never staying in the same place again. Even though he has now attained the rank of lieutenant colonel and rarely goes to the front line to participate in sniper missions, he has become a sniper instructor and trained hundreds of snipers, and his skills have not been left behind.

Although there were no human figures on the trees, everyone was watching through telescopes. Seeing that the Japanese soldier who had tied himself to a tree had already hung his head and died.

"Wow!" A German black-backed clone dog barks. Rushed over first. It is the existence of these cloned dogs who act as search pioneers that make those Japanese lurking in the shadows have no chance to sneak attack at close range, and it also makes the Japanese veteran just now have to sneak attack from a distance, but it is unsuccessful.

The dog didn't go straight under the tree, but barked at a bush on the other side.

"There is an enemy!" Li Dazhi, the platoon commander who was annoyed that he didn't find anything unusual in advance and almost caused a recruit to die directly, still came to his senses in time and told the soldiers around him.

No need for him to remind you. The veterans who accompanied the team had already prepared everything.

A multi-purpose infantry vehicle parked next to it quickly turned its 12.7mm machine gun, and a chain of fire sent dry thorn bush branches flying everywhere, but the strange noise from behind quickly stopped the machine gun firing.

"Behind is concrete, there are enemy fortifications!" Li Dazhi gestured backwards a few times.

Without waiting for Lin Xingping to ponder the meaning of those gestures, the sound of machine guns rang out again, and several veterans took advantage of the situation to climb over the trench on one side, and then the cover of mounds and craters. Crawling and touching it over there.

This is obviously not the main means of attack, and then gradually relying on the cover of the multi-purpose vehicle that passed, two veterans with three canisters on their backs are gradually approaching.

"Flamethrower?" Since he saw the movie for the first time at the age of 13, Lin Xingping has been particularly interested in those pictures, and in the boot camp, he memorized the performance of various weapons against the pictures, which is his trick to rate excellent recruits, so he recognized at a glance that the veteran was carrying a flamethrower. It's just that the model is not certain.

In the boot camp, there are also flamethrowers for the training of recruits, such as the German Type 34, the American Type M1 and M2, and even the Japanese Type 92 and the American New M2-2 Type. But this one is very similar to M2, but it is a little different, which makes Lin Xingping hesitate.

He naturally didn't know that this M2A1-2, a modified version based on M2, would only appear in the Korean Peninsula War, and this kind of weapon would never be stingy because of the small number of weapons, and the cost was not too high, and the performance was a little better, and these weapons also needed to be tested in actual combat.

If Lin Xingping went to the southern battlefield, he would find that the Chinese army often used this weapon, which was far more proficient than the Americans who had just come to their senses.

The Americans began to popularize the M1 and M2 flamethrowers only after suffering the losses of the Japanese on the islands of Kuah and Fiji, and the Chinese army had already learned to use this weapon against the Japanese fortified fortresses in the training camps before going to the south.

Lin Xingping can also use it, but he is obviously not as experienced as those veterans.

At a distance of 45 meters from the bushes, a fiery dragon rushed over.

It didn't take the flamethrower to continue spraying, and the big bush ignited a fire.

"The little devil is so stupid, he picked such a place!" Li Dazhi snorted and sneered.

The Japanese deliberately covered up this concealed semi-underground fortification with snow and ice bushes, which could not be ignited by ordinary artillery fire, but with napalm, not even water could be extinguished.

There were several screams from the bushes, which had not yet moved under the machine-gun fire, but they were quickly annihilated by the crackling sound of the burning bushes. Under such a fire, even if the devils inside can withstand the high temperature and smoke of the smoke, the lack of oxygen from the rapid combustion is enough to suffocate them all.

The recruits watched the veterans quickly solve this enemy, and they were still a little stunned, and after half a sound, they solemnly took out their books and notes and wrote down some points and feelings.

The main force to clean up the battlefield is still those veterans, and those recruits who have achieved excellent results in the new barracks and come to the battlefield in advance are just following behind to observe and experience.

The battlefield is where new recruits mature the fastest, and everything is not as impressive as the potential of human beings to burst out in the shadow of death.

The junior and intermediate training camps of the recruit battalion are in the rear, while the advanced training camp is on the battlefield.

At present, the Chinese army has one of the best recruit training camps in the world.

Even the strictly-trained Germans and the extravagant Americans secretly admitted that the Huaxia training camp was great, except for the superiority of the military in terms of education level compared to Huaxia, other aspects had obviously been compared.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that the training of German recruits is no longer as advantageous as it was before the war. Weapons and ammunition on the front line are still insufficient, and supplies for the training of recruits are now insufficient.

And even though the Americans had a large amount of supplies, their spirit of hardship and hard work was far worse than that of the Chinese soldiers.

The unified conscription conditions are stuck between 18 and 30 years old, and the Chinese soldiers who can also conscript more than 10 million soldiers make any country very envious.

China's huge population base allows the national defense forces to be selective.

After Huaxia laid off 3 million soldiers and switched to Tuntian, Huaxia recruited a new batch of soldiers last year, the number of which exceeded 1 million.

The physical fitness of these Chinese school-age recruits, who have improved their living conditions through a series of welfare measures such as the subsistence allowance, is much better than that of their brothers and fathers.

The vast majority of the most recent recruits, who have received half of their compulsory education and at least primary school education, have also gained more knowledge than their predecessors and are able to adapt and master mechanized weapons more quickly.

And the hardships they endured when they were teenagers are still in their minds and make a profound contrast with their current life, and in terms of loyalty to the vanguard army and even to Meng Xiang, only a little propaganda is enough.

The number of Huaxia troops has exceeded 12 million, which has caused Zhou Bai to complain.

"You can't leave the barracks empty, can you?" Meng Xiang's joking answer caused him to complain even more.

As long as the Chinese army of the same unit does not fight, the degree of cost is definitely not as much as that of the recruit battalion.

At the end of last year, the total number of casualties of the Vanguard Army and later the National Defense Army exceeded 500,000, stabbing Meng Xiang.

Fearing that the benefits of the base would disappear, he desperately wanted to lay a solid foundation for the soldiers first, and even increased his investment in the training of the recruit camp regardless of the cost, opened up the ammunition and weapons consumption for those recruits, set up all kinds of perfect and scientific exercises, and even used them in actual combat such as the Battle of Sakhalin.
