Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 467 Chapter 466, whoosh

Seeing Li Yuexuan asking, Zheng Changfeng and Shu Youtuan exchanged a glance before saying, "As for bayonet fighting, we dare not say anything else. In the Eighth Route Army, there are probably not many who can compare with our battalion! You also know that our veterans have fought in battles, and the new recruits also have martial arts skills, and they are all trained in killing skills. A single round of bayonet fighting may still be insufficient, but when it comes to fighting with all one's strength, it's amazing!"

"Moreover, we have also inherited the desperate tactics of our guerrillas. The locust stones can break sandbags within 30 meters. Each soldier also has 5 special bullets that can be used in bayonet fighting." Zheng Changfeng said this with a proud smile.

Li Yuexuan naturally knew which special bullet Zheng Changfeng was talking about. Of course, it was the Tudum bullet with reduced charge and engraved patterns specially modified for bayonet fighting. That thing, with insufficient penetration, had good bursting ability, and was definitely a good thing for bayonet fighting on the battlefield. Coupled with the blessing of semi-automatic... um, um, Li Yuexuan was completely relieved about the bayonet fighting methods of the first battalion.

Who says bayonet fighting is all about bloodshed? If you feel you can't win, why don't you shoot first? Within seven steps, the gun is accurate and fast!

After talking about bayonet fighting, Zheng Changfeng talked about marksmanship again: "As for marksmanship, let's not talk about the veterans. Let's talk about the new soldiers. Just for training bullets, each soldier has reached the level of 100 rounds. In order to train the soldiers, the soldiers have learned how to reload bullets! Hehe, whoever fired the bullet will learn how to reload it. Everyone has learned it."

"In this way, those intact bullets are saved and left for the Japanese during the battle. It all depends on how the Japanese use their body to receive them! As for the level of marksmanship, in the last shooting, the average hit rate for the 200-meter moving target was 8%, and the fixed target was 9%. There were very few misses!"

"In the 200-meter race, 8% of the targets were on the moving target. This result is already very good! Of course, it cannot be compared with the special forces team. They are all fed with bullets, or they are selected for their talent in marksmanship! How about the 300-meter result?" Li Yuexuan asked.

"5%! The average hit rate of the recruits is 5% for moving targets and 7% for fixed targets!" said Zheng Changfeng.

"This result is pretty good! Let's go. Words are not enough. Let's go to the shooting range and take a look! Well, Zou Ming, take Class 9 of your company to the shooting range and let the range prepare so that I can see it with my own eyes! Don't worry, I brought 1 rounds of bullets this time. After shooting, the rest will be yours!" said Li Yuexuan.

After a squad was assigned, Li Yuexuan followed everyone to the mobile target range set up on the Nanweiquan River. Well, the arrangement was similar to that in Liangjia Village, with wooden targets placed on the rafts, and the soldiers were allowed to shoot while drifting down the river. Unlike the horizontal arrangement in Liangjia Village, the Nanweiquan area had a 60-degree angle between the shooting area and the target area because the terrain was more open.

This kind of shooting is actually closer to actual combat. After all, when the Japanese attack, they will not move sideways, but diagonally or straight, heading towards your position. The oncoming Japanese can be treated as fixed targets, and the Japanese walking diagonally can be simulated here.

Soon, the shooting range was ready and all the personnel were present. Squad leader Sun Liang commanded the soldiers to shoot one by one. Because a squad has a machine gun group and a grenade launcher group, the real shooters are the seven recruits besides the grenade launcher soldier (plus the assistant shooter), the machine gunner, and the deputy squad leader. The grenade launcher soldier of squad 9 is also a rookie, but his assistant shooter is a veteran, so there is no need to shoot. Bang, bang, bang, bang... In the crisp sound of semi-automatic gunfire, bullets whizzed over a distance of more than 7 meters and hit the wooden target with a bang. Whether it is a moving target or a fixed target, as long as it is on the target, there is no need to pay attention to the number of rings. If the bullet hits the body, it will be dead if it hits the head, and it will basically not survive if it hits the stomach. Although it can survive if it hits the arm, the combat effectiveness will be gone.

So, as long as you hit the target, you win! As for completely destroying the enemy? There is still a process of finishing off the enemy, so why rush?
A squad of 7 people shot, and they quickly used up 7 magazines, leaving 140 shells scattered on the ground. Li Yuexuan didn't care about the shells, that was Shuyoutuan's concern, he was looking at the shooting results. Not bad, Zheng Changfeng was probably being modest when he spoke, the hit rate of the 7 recruits was actually over 8%, close to 9%.

Such marksmanship is enough to be sent to the battlefield now, as long as it is stable, it is enough! Whose marksmanship is better? It has been 41 years. How many of those Japanese veterans with outstanding marksmanship are still left? The training of Japanese recruits may still maintain the pre-war level, but the Japanese have hurriedly formed so many divisions and opened up many fronts. Can they really let the recruits survive such a long training period?
Besides, the majority of the Japanese troops around southeastern Shanxi are from the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade and the 36th Division. The 4th Independent Mixed Brigade is made up of the lowest-level Japanese troops who are not loved by their grandmas or uncles; the 36th Division is also a security division, far below the level of regular divisions and special divisions.

Oh, by the way, at this time, the Japanese were still reorganizing the permanent divisions and the few remaining special divisions from four units to three units. This matter started in 39 and has not been completed yet. After the reorganization, there were Type A divisions (field battle), Type B divisions (auxiliary field battle), and Type C divisions (security). Of course, no matter what, the independent mixed brigade could not be ranked...

After understanding the marksmanship of the First Battalion, Li Yuexuan did not leave the First Battalion’s base in Nanweiquan, but simply stayed.

Didn't Minister Zhang give a 7-day vacation? Li Yuexuan also decided to take a vacation and stay in the First Battalion! Of course, although it was a vacation, he still helped the First Battalion to form a mortar platoon with two artillery squads and a transport squad carrying ammunition during these 7 days. After the formation was completed, he also led the two artillery groups to complete a live-fire target shooting training to understand their level.

Fortunately, the gunners of the two artillery groups were both strictly trained by Director Zhao. Except that they were a little slow when calculating, their accuracy was still acceptable.

When building the artillery, Li Yuexuan also took time out to conduct a live-fire shooting inspection of the grenade throwers of 27 combat squads. It can be seen that Zheng Changfeng also invested a lot of money. The level of these 54 grenade throwers and deputy shooters is very good, and the hit rate at 400 meters is about 9%.

With the mortar platoon, the combat squad is well trained, and with the special infantry-artillery coordination training, the combat system of the first battalion is basically complete. If you want to improve your combat effectiveness, you can only go to the battlefield and fight the devils with real swords and guns!

In a flash, seven days passed, and Li Yuexuan finally left Nanweiquan with satisfaction and returned to the arsenal.
