In fact, no matter what the shortcomings of the Japanese machinery are, but in fact it is just a sentence. The weapons of the Japanese were used by the most elite troops who had been trained intensively. In order to be proficient in using it, it is necessary to go through a rigorous and extensive training. Whether it's a grenadier or a crooked handle, it's such a weapon.

However, because of the constraints of the conditions, the troops in the Guannai lacked corresponding training. But you can't expect a unit with only a few rounds of ammunition on the battlefield to fire thousands of rounds in one go during daily training. The accuracy is good, I am afraid that it is the only good evaluation of this machine gun by the troops in the Kannai.

For example, if the crooked handle machine gun is well trained, for example, in the hands of those elite divisions of the Japanese army, it is still a pretty good machine gun, and the power is not much worse than that made by the Czechs. The lack of training and the lack of maintenance conditions like the Japanese army were the main reasons why the troops were somewhat unwelcome to the Japanese armament.

Although the old commander is said to be the commander, he is the highest military chief of the whole army. But I still know a lot about the following opinions. Although he thinks that the troops are now equipped and their appetite is high, and he also criticizes the current problem of picking fat and thinning in the troops, he is not good at listening to the voices below.

It's just that the troops don't like to ask for Japanese weapons now, and the Polish-made 79-caliber anti-Japanese federation will definitely not be able to come up with it. Why should I embarrass others? Yang Zhen said that there was a way to get it, but in the old handsome's heart, he thought it was just an explanation. Where are they going to find so many seven-nine caliber weapons now?

Can't you let people open a single production line for the tens of thousands of people who marched into the army? Although he is also looking forward to unifying the caliber of the troops' weapons and equipment, considering the practical problems, the old commander is not very enthusiastic about the issue of changing the troops' equipment. And in his opinion, as long as a weapon can kill the enemy, it is a good weapon.

Being able to unify the caliber and reduce the pressure on logistics is the biggest benefit of the redress. As for what weapon to put on, Lao Shuai didn't care too much. If Yang Zhen completely changed the Advance Army into Japanese weapons, he would have no opinion. After all, with sufficient weapons and ammunition, the troops can be more free to use their hands and feet when fighting, and it is also more conducive to their own command.

Besides, even if the Japanese machinery has this and that deficiency, but after all, it has achieved one per person. The troops need no longer be worried about the lack of weapons, especially ammunition. Japanese weapons have the advantages of Japanese weapons, and Polish-made weapons have their advantages, and we cannot generalize because of the shortcomings of Japanese weapons.

When the troops were short of weapons, wasn't it the same war? The main problems of the troops at present are the lack of the ability to attack fortified positions, the lack of regular combat capability of the large corps, the lack of positional warfare, and the poor coordination ability of infantry and artillery. As for the equipment, it is enough now, at least there is no need to be helpless in the face of the Japanese fortifications when attacking the fortifications.

So for Yang Zhen's suggestion, the commander shook his head and said: "The matter of equipment replacement, as long as it is not your kind of automatic rifle, you can decide." We can't afford your rifles. Good guys, catch up with one person and one light machine gun. ”

"When the battle is over, if the central government insists on incorporating all the advance troops into the anti-joint operations sequence, then how to change your outfit is something you should consider. As for the present, it is out of consideration of the logistical pressure of the first phase of the operation. Now that the Advance Army has decided to use it as a lightly armed force, don't change the same equipment as you for the time being. ”

"You have your considerations in changing your equipment, but these weapons are not suitable for advance because of their fast rate of fire and high ammunition consumption. Whether it is a Japanese weapon or a Polish-made weapon, it is a good weapon to be able to kill the enemy. As long as the caliber can be unified and the logistical pressure can be reduced, it is completely fine. ”

"The most crucial thing now is to carry out the reorganization and training of the troops advancing into the army, speed up the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the troops, and the command ability of cadres at all levels. As for the matter of equipment, we should not be too big and comprehensive, and it should be in line with the actual situation of our current poor strategic supply capability. ”

"Seeing your training these days is really impressive. The amount of training in one day of your troops is almost equal to the amount of training in three to five days for the troops in the Guannai. A five-kilometer fully armed morning exercise in the morning, as well as an emergency assembly every three to five days and a military physical fist, these are all things that the troops in the Guannai do not have. ”

"But isn't your training volume a little too much? Five kilometers of armed morning drills in the morning, and various tactics, grappling and fighting, live ammunition shooting, and grenade throwing training in the morning. In the afternoon, various technical and tactical as well as obstacles, weapons maintenance training. After dinner, there is another five kilometers. ”

"After returning to the barracks, there were two hours of cultural lessons and political studies. Armed cross-country once every three days, mountain crossing once every five days. Your troops basically train at night when they wake up. With such a large amount of training, can the troops withstand it? ”

"If you follow this training intensity of yours, I'm afraid that there are not many troops that can support the army. The level of food in your troops is high, but the amount of training is too large. But who came up with that military body fist of yours, I think it's very good. That is, it can exercise the body, and it can also improve the ability of the troops to fight hand-to-hand. ”

"As for the training of your special operations reconnaissance brigade, I and the commissar have also seen it. It's a bit too harsh, but it's quite unique. This time in Rehe, we also learned about some of their combat characteristics and capabilities. Don't forget about your promise to train a group of such troops for the Kannai troops. ”

The meaning of the commander's words was that he liked the special operations force that the Anti-United Nations was assigned to the advance army, but the political commissar on the side was still a little unimpressed. Although he visited their training in the past two days, the political commissar was also quite impressed by the new combat mode they showed. However, they were very dissatisfied with some of the methods they showed in some aspects during the Rehe operation.

The political commissar always felt that they were a little too vicious. Moreover, their interrogation work is also very different from the preferential treatment of prisoners that the army has always emphasized, which is somewhat too cruel. After listening to the report of the troops who cooperated with them in the battle, although he didn't want to say it, the commissar felt that there was no second word to describe except cruelty.

Regarding this matter, the political commissar hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, you said something about training. Your special reconnaissance unit cooperated with us in rehe to eliminate the enemy's special effect, and its combat effectiveness is indeed strong, and the combat mode is also very novel, but is this method a little excessive? ”

"Our army is strictly disciplined, and it is our practice to treat prisoners favorably. Of course, when interrogating prisoners, it is also necessary to use some means, which we can all understand. But your troops, when interrogating prisoners, use a little too much. ”

"These practices of yours, what is good is to be said at any cost, and what is not good is to choose a qiē method. I can't think of any other adjective than cruelty. We can't do that with our captives, for whatever reason. No matter how severe the shape is, we should always keep a certain bottom line of life. ”

"When our cadres who cooperated with the operation came back to report, I couldn't even believe that this was something that our troops could do, and it was even more cruel than the Japanese army. Not even the Japanese army, which has always been known for its toughness, has survived ten minutes under your interrogation methods. There are not a few captives who have been tortured by them, and there are not a few who have not had a single skin intact on their bodies, and even have been directly killed. ”

"The troops who are fighting with your troops have a lot of opinions about your methods. This is a very unfavorable thing for the integration of the two armies. Comrade Yang Zhen, we can understand your thoughts. But after all, we are a people's army, and we must not forget discipline until we are at any time. ”

"The Japanese army is an army of beasts, but we cannot be beasts as well. No matter how strong the combat effectiveness of such a unit is, we don't want it. I hope you can make some improvements in this regard. Comrade Yang Zhen, we still have to talk about the minimum humanitarianism in dealing with prisoners. ”

"We hope to learn from your unconventional and special means of warfare, and we hope that you can help us train a group of the same troops. But there are some aspects of your approach that we cannot accept. We could not accept our troops and turned into some unscrupulous butchers. ”

Regarding Lao Shuai's accusation, Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Old chief, special operations are a kind of infiltration operations behind enemy lines without a rear. The special nature of their operations determines that they need to obtain the information they need in the shortest possible time. ”

"The two veteran leaders are both veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and whether the intelligence on the battlefield is accurate or not, or even the delay of the transmission of information for a minute, will have much impact on the battle situation. The special nature of their operations determined that they had to adopt a single measure. Because in the event of any accident, with the usual reaction speed of the Japanese army, all that awaits them is the annihilation of the entire army. ”

"Of course, in this Rehe operation, it is a little different from their usual combat mode. But the two old commanders have not considered it, your safety is higher than a qiē. What if something happens to you and you advance into this army of nearly 100,000? At any cost, it is not that we have to fight to the death to protect the safety of the two old commanders, but that we must take the lowest price in exchange for your safety. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen was slightly silent for a while, "This unit was trained by me, and it is also the only unit in the whole army that I personally brought out and still maintains the full structure." I know and understand the combat style of this unit. For all their methods of warfare, including this method of interrogating prisoners, were developed by me and taught by me. ”

"What they have done, in the eyes of the two veterans, may be a bit excessive. But for me, I don't think it's too much for the conditions under which this force was created. For this combat unit, which often needs to go deep behind enemy lines alone, combat comes first, and survival comes first. ”

"First of all, they must complete the combat mission, and as for benevolence, righteousness and morality, they can't take care of it for the time being. With a complex enemy situation and a unique way of fighting, at least for now, this force can only choose unscrupulous means. I also know that this style is a bit excessive, but I can't change it now. When peace and tranquility are over, I will naturally take measures to change this unscrupulous approach. ”

After Yang Zhen finished speaking, the two old men looked at him in surprise. This army was actually built by the young man in front of him? If you are not satisfied with the style of this army, don't you even put him in it? The commissar, who didn't think of this, was somewhat embarrassed.

Dissatisfaction with some of their methods is dissatisfaction, but it is somewhat of that to put it forward so straightforwardly. After Yang Zhen finished speaking, compared to the political commissar whose face looked very unnatural, the commander looked at Yang Zhen with a strange expression, not knowing what to think in his heart.
