Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

Cool and sweet, it tastes much better than the mineral water bought in the market.

"Everyone come to wash up, wash up and prepare to eat."

Qiao Lin greeted the soldiers, the hare had already been roasted, and was just waiting for the soldiers to eat.

One rabbit for three people, this amount is enough to feed the soldiers.

There were too many people, and one fire could not be opened at all. The soldiers lit several fires in the cave and did them separately. It was like having a bonfire party one by one.

This cave is really magical. Although it looks sealed, there are vents on the top that cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. The smoke produced when the firewood is burned all floats away along those vents.

There was also a lot of firewood piled up in the cave, all brought back by Lei Gong and the soldiers in the afternoon, enough to burn for two or three days.

Especially the soldiers of the logistics support squadron. After training with Qiao Lin in the field, although they didn't learn much about survival skills, they were all good at making fire. Light up.

After a delicious meal of roasted hares, accompanied by sweet river water, the soldiers felt extremely comfortable after eating and drinking.Sit around the fire and chat.

Looking up at the cave roof a few meters above his head, Qiao Lin couldn't help but sigh.

It was originally planned to add a field survival training subject to the soldiers, but I didn't expect that there would be a new task before it had time to start.

What's even more amazing is that with the development of the mission, the soldiers really have to survive in the wild for a while.

Before you master the theory, you start to practice first. The coincidences in the world are always like this, and people are caught off guard.

It is estimated that after this mission is over, the other fighters are still not sure, but the dozen or so people in the logistics support squadron can definitely become experts in wilderness survival.

Just as he was thinking about it, Lei Gong touched Qiao Lin and handed him a captured rifle.

"what happened?"

Jolin took the gun, a little confused.

"The soldiers asked why the rifles of the enemy cavalry are different from the rifles they usually see. Please explain it!"

Lei Gong said cheerfully.

"Lei Gong, did you do it on purpose? I don't believe you don't understand the tricks here, just explain it to me, why push it to me?"

Jolin said dumbfoundedly.

Lei Gong had been a soldier for 20 years, and he must have dealt with cavalrymen on the battlefield, so he didn't believe that Lei Gong didn't understand.

"I know the principle, but I'm the stupidest person, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to mislead my younger brother. Besides, the company commander, you are of a high level. This is recognized by everyone, so let's talk about it."

Lei Gong squinted and smiled, a sly gleam flashed in his eyes.

Chapter 240 The Problem with the Eighth Horse Rifle

As soon as he saw Lei Gong's treacherous plan succeeding, Qiao Lin immediately reacted.

He did it on purpose.

It is estimated that when the soldiers chatted just now, they asked Lei Gong too many questions.

After all, finding this cave, catching these hares, and slaughtering these dozens of horses...

There are too many topics that interest the soldiers, and they all happen to be related to Lei Gong.

He was already impatient with the answer, so he used the excuse of the rifle to shift the targets of the soldiers to himself.

Maybe he was the one who brought up the rifle issue first.

"Okay, since everyone's thirst for knowledge is so strong, I'll tell you about it."

Qiao Lin curled his lips at Lei Gong, who turned his face away and snickered.

"You have also noticed that the rifles used by the cavalry are different from what we usually see. Let me ask you first, what is the difference?"

Jolin skillfully pulled the bolt and ejected the bullets inside.

Bullets made of brass jingled as they fell to the ground.

Finally, he filled in one by one, looked at the soldiers and asked.

"Much shorter than the rifles we use."

Most of the soldiers rushed to answer.

"It's also lighter in weight."

There are also a small number of people who are not very sure.

"Yes, the biggest difference between the rifles used by cavalry and the rifles used by infantry is that they are shorter and lighter."

Qiao Lin put the gun in his hand on the ground and began to explain in detail: "The rifles used by cavalry are usually called horse rifles, that is, rifles used on horseback. In fact, if you look carefully, you will find that it is different from ordinary rifles Where is the biggest difference?"

After finishing speaking, Qiao Lin casually threw the gun to a soldier next to him, and immediately a sniper brought his own rifle, put the two guns together, and compared them carefully.

The soldiers couldn't care less about chatting, they all stretched their heads over, wanting to see what happened.

"It seems...as if..."

The soldier moved the two guns and seemed to notice something different.

"The barrels of the two guns are about the same length, but the horse rifle has a much shorter stock."

After repeated comparisons, the soldier gave the answer.

"Observed very carefully, then a new question came, why is there such a difference?"

Qiao Lin gave him an appreciative look, and then started asking questions again.

The soldiers all looked blank, as if they were saying:

Isn't that what we want to ask you?

Lei Gong on the side pursed his lips, he naturally knew the answer to the question, but he couldn't say it.

He likes that the company commander used this method to deepen the soldiers' impression of some unknown issues. In this way, it usually only needs to be done once to make everyone remember it.

"In fact, the cavalry has existed for many years, and it existed in ancient times, but the weapons of the cavalry at that time were not rifles, because they did not exist in that era."

Qiao Lin's words changed, and he brought up the origin of the cavalry again.

He said something that seemed like nonsense, but was actually almost nonsense.

Seeing that the groundwork was almost ready, Captain Qiao officially started the class: "In ancient times, the weapons used by cavalry were spears, and the longer the length, the more powerful it was, because in that era, soldiers needed to be in close contact with each other, and the longer the spear , the sooner you can hit the enemy, protect your own safety, and the more powerful the piercing will be.”

As Qiao Lin spoke, he took the gun again and made a stabbing motion with the spear.

"Company commander, according to what you said, the longer the weapon, the better. Why is this gun shorter instead?"

Huang Dachuan couldn't help asking questions.

At this time, someone laughed out loud, laughing at Huang Dachuan's recklessness.

Because Qiao Lin has already pointed out the key points in the introduction just now. In ancient times, wars required personal combat, because there were no long-range weapons such as guns.

In fact, after listening carefully, you can think about it after a little thought, but Huang Dachuan has always been a guy who doesn't like to use his brain.

"Although your question makes me feel that you have missed the point of what you said just now, it touches on the crux of the problem. Why is the gun short?"

"Everyone can imagine, if you are riding on horseback, what weapon do you think is the most lethal, is it a Zhangba spear, or a rifle that can shoot hundreds of meters away?"

Qiao Lin was not angry because of this, but continued to ask questions to guide the soldiers to think.

"Must be a rifle!"

This time there was no hesitation or disagreement.

Although everyone has never used a cold weapon such as a spear, it can be understood after a comparison.

No matter how powerful a spear is, it is impossible to kill a person hundreds of meters away, but a rifle can.

"Imagine, if you need to shoot and kill the enemy on the horse, what kind of rifle is better?"

Jolin bent his legs and made a horse riding posture.

The soldiers followed Qiao Lin's example and bent their legs, imagining that they were doing the minimum.

An enemy suddenly appears in front of you and needs to be shot and killed immediately.

The rifle is slung on the back and needs to be raised, aimed, and fired.

A rifle that is more than one meter long is only as tall as half a person. If it is on flat ground, there is no obstacle.

But if it is on horseback, it seems inconvenient to use, the muzzle is easy to get stuck on the back.

If it could be shorter, there would be no such trouble.

"Commander, do you think so?"

Huang Dachuan still maintained his horseback riding posture, carrying a rifle on his back first, and when he touched the gun with his backhand, the muzzle of the gun got stuck in the crook of his leg.

Then he changed to a captured horse rifle, which ended up moving the gun to the front without much trouble.

"Your boy is enlightened!"

Qiao Lin clapped his hands, and practiced the truth, which is absolutely true.

"In order not to affect the use of cavalry, the stock of the horse rifle will be shorter than that of ordinary rifles, and the weight will also become lighter. When shooting at the target, it only needs to be operated with one hand."

After Qiao Lin finished speaking, he gave a live demonstration.

He slung a horse rifle over his back, and stretched his left hand forward as if holding the rein.

The upper body leaned forward, as if riding a horse, and the body began to rise and fall regularly.

Suddenly, his right hand fumbled behind him, grasping the stock of the gun accurately, and at the same time he raised it forward, the left arm holding the rein was also raised horizontally, and placed it under the handguard of the gun barrel.

Aim, shoot, and move in one go.

"It can be done with one hand, neither affecting riding nor delaying shooting. This is the characteristic of a horse rifle."

Qiao Lin put away his gun and stood up, finally explaining the problem clearly.

"No, company commander, since the shorter the guns used by the cavalry, the better, why not use pistols? Aren't pistols more convenient?"

Unexpectedly, someone raised a question again, this time it was Yu Congrong.

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, thinking that Yu Congrong's question made sense.

Before, everyone focused on the rifle. If it is really for the convenience of operation, then the pistol is indeed more advantageous, and there is no need to bother raising the left arm to mount the gun.

"I feel that Huang Dachuan is smarter than you now."
