Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 79 Chapter 079, continue to provide technology

"Everyone should understand the importance of distance measurement, because it is the first prerequisite for your accuracy! For example, your target is the Japanese machine gun group, which is 325 meters away from you, but you see it as 300 meters. Then, even if you adjust the scale to the right level and your arm is very stable when firing, the final result is that the grenade from the grenade launcher will fall at 300 meters."

"The best explosion radius of the Japanese grenade launcher is 8 to 10 meters. Within this range, anyone affected will be either killed or injured! Beyond this distance, although it can still kill, it will not necessarily kill, and even injuries will only be minor. The farther the distance, the smaller the power!"

"So, after explaining how to launch a grenade launcher, the first thing we will train you on is distance measurement!" After saying that, Li Yuexuan pulled out the survival axe from his chest, put a mountain willow stick he collected on the road on the ground, and chopped it down with a click of the axe. When he stood up, the axe had returned to his chest, and he had a 1-meter-long willow stick in his hand.

"Everyone, look carefully. This stick is one meter long! Remember this length. It will be the most important data for you in your future combat careers! Just now, you saw that there are many scale numbers on the grenade launcher of the Japanese. These numbers correspond to meters! That is, this length!"

"Now, comrades, take a look at this stick, then go back on the way here, find a sturdy piece of wood, and make a pole like this! Then, remember this length." Li Yuexuan waved his hand and said, "Disband now. You have 20 minutes. Go and come back quickly!"

After Li Yuexuan finished speaking, the students left one after another, and even the guerrilla fighters returned to the way they came. They all remembered clearly that on the way here, there was a forest of mountain willows, and everyone regarded that forest as their target.

Seeing that all the students had left, and only the deputy captain and Bai Dabao were left, Li Yuexuan said to Bai Dabao: "I have never asked, can you two brothers measure distance?"

"Well... we have learned it from the old hunters, and we can do it! We just turn a blind eye. However, we all calculate how many steps we take, and we all know what we are doing!" Bai Dabao said honestly.

"So, we have to unify the standards for you first! Run over and see that stone on the western mountain? It's not far from the forest. Go over and stand up this half willow stick. We will need it during training later! Here, bury it in the soil and rocks, deep enough to this point!" Li Yuexuan said as he took a tactical knife and cut the stick.

"I understand!" Bai Dabao picked up the stick and ran towards the western hillside.

"Military doctor, the new recruits have been training very hard these days. When do you think it is appropriate to give them shooting training?" Xing Weiguo asked.

"No, you and the captain have more experience than me in this matter. Isn't it like asking a blind man for advice when asking me?" Li Yuexuan asked back.

"You have been in the tax police corps, have you got any experience? Tell me about it!" Xing Weiguo asked. "Well... I can't explain it clearly for a while, let me sort it out and write it down! But I have to finish what I'm writing first! But in my opinion, our training time is limited now, and the battle will come at any time, so the best thing is to let the comrades touch the gun as soon as possible! At the beginning, it is gun holding training, training in three shooting positions, gun maintenance, and interspersed with bayonet training."

"Once the soldiers are familiar with the firearms, know how to maintain them, and have mastered the shooting posture, we can then conduct live-fire training in shooting! In my opinion, at least, we should let the comrades fire 10 rounds of bullets so that they can get the feeling of shooting!" Li Yuexuan offered his opinion.

"10 bullets?" Xing Weiguo's mouth twitched. It seemed that the bullets were blown by the wind, right?
"Captain, doesn't our Eighth Route Army have a decent arsenal? Can't we produce bullets ourselves?" Li Yuexuan asked.

"A decent arsenal? You're thinking too much. Where is the arsenal? If there is anything related to arsenal, it's the repair shop at the headquarters. They can simply repair guns. As for the rest? Don't even think about it. Our current weapons and ammunition are either allocated from Chiang Kai-shek, or purchased with our own money, or captured on the battlefield!" Xing Weiguo said.

"Well, that's how it is... When I followed that doctor, I did learn some things that I can use now! How should I put it? In addition to tinkering with medicines, that doctor also likes to tinker with guns and other things. I have seen him refill spent bullet shells with propellant and warheads to make new bullets. Otherwise, I will tell you how he did it?"

"Is it you who helped us modify the method of lifting gun bullets?" Xing Weiguo asked back.

"Well, it's almost the same idea, but there are some special machines for reloading bullets. It is very easy to reload bullets with these machines. By the way, the primer under the bullet also has a small rocker punch. With that small punch, you can punch out the primer from a thin copper plate. Then, add the primer powder of the primer, fill the cartridge case with propellant, and then add the bullet, and it's done!" Li Yuexuan clapped his hands.

"It sounds easy..." Xing Weiguo's mouth twitched, and then he said, "Where does the primer come from? Where does the propellant come from? Can you make it?" After Xing Weiguo finished speaking, he looked at Li Yuexuan and saw his determined eyes, and then exclaimed, "You really can make it?"

"I only remember the recipe and how he did it, but I really can't make it myself! How about I write the recipe for you and you find someone to make it yourself?" Li Yuexuan asked back.

"Am I worthy? Am I worthy? I just feel that you won't be able to stay in our guerrillas for long. Your skills would be a waste if they were placed in the guerrillas! No, I have to write a report to transfer you to the headquarters! With the skills you have mastered, if you place them in the guerrillas and something happens one day, it will be a huge loss!" Xing Weiguo spoke agitatedly and even wanted to run away.

"Please don't! I'll stay in the guerrillas, it's fine! In fact, I only know digital data and I don't know anything else! Once I write these things and hand them over to the organization, I will be of no use. It's better to stay in the guerrillas and fight the Japanese with my comrades! Besides, the closer we are to the headquarters, the easier it is to be noticed by enemy spies!" Li Yuexuan quickly interrupted Xing Weiguo.
