Chapter 935: French infantry tactics tutorial one

And soon, after Japan was equipped with this machine, the Japanese soldiers, whose physique and strength attributes were one grade lower than that of the Europeans, soon discovered the problem. The French, based on actual combat experience, required that the Japanese machine gun team must have fast speed. The ability to transfer and the ability to continue shooting. what does this mean? In addition to the parts of a certain machine gun, the general deputy shooter also needs to carry an extra box of ammunition.

How much does this weigh? A Japanese army sergeant once described it this way. "In addition to the five machine gunners, our machine gun team is equipped with four additional ammunition hands. In the original situation, each ammunition operator had to carry two ammunition boxes in addition to his rifle. The weight is about 12 kilograms. We use 24 rounds of standard bullets. Each ammunition box can hold 12 bullets, which is 288 rounds."

"We began to feel that these bullets were enough to use. After all, four ammunition hands carried thousands of bullets, and two secondary shooters would also carry an additional bullet box. This would have about 1,700 bullets. In Japan and Russia In wars, this amount of ammunition can be used for at least half a day, but in Europe, we found that this is not enough."

"So, when the number of people did not change much, we increased the amount of ammunition carried. Each ammunition hand carried three boxes of ammunition, and people who were complicated to carry machine gun parts also needed to bring an extra box of ammunition. Therefore, we were less than weight. A 70 kg machine gunner needs to carry a 30 kg tripod and a 13 kg ammunition box, as well as various oil cans, dry food, first aid kits and other items, and then exercise on the muddy battlefield. This is simply hell!"

and then? A rifleman with his own rifle, three ammunition boxes weighing 40kg, plus other miscellaneous items, is almost equal to his own weight... Take these things and shuttle between muddy land, bullet craters, barbed wire fences, and minefields. It is definitely quite a tragedy for the Japanese, whose physical strength is close to that of the British and French forces.

With the basic infantry equipment, French instructors began to teach the Japanese with the help of translators how to survive in the hell-like battlefield and face enemies like the devil.

"Guys from the Far East, this time, the opponent we are going to face is the most powerful army in the world. They are not comparable to the Russians you have fought. From now on, forget your previous glory. Forget your previous tactics, those are all outdated things, you are now primary school students, study hard! Otherwise, I can guarantee that half of you will never see the sun on the battlefield the next day!" Responsible for the temple Shouyi’s army trained a lieutenant Pierre from Bordeaux. This lieutenant had experienced 5 battles and was promoted from a private to a lieutenant. The reason for this is because the head of his unit The bosses have been cleaned up....

"When the class platoons attack, you must revolve around your Shaosha machine gun. Well, although it only has 20 rounds of magazines, although the rate of fire is not high, although it has some shortcomings of one kind or another, this is yours. The strongest firearm in your hand, you can only rely on him!"

With that said, the lieutenant began to demonstrate to the Japanese how to use the Shaosha machine gun. If you give a name to all the light machine guns of World War I in history, it is best to use them. The British Lewis, the German mg15, and the Danish Madsen machine guns are all likely to receive this honor, each with its own advantages. But if you choose the worst machine gun, the French Shaosha machine gun definitely has the strength to overwhelm the crowd...

"Okay, dear Colonel, now find me the strongest soldier under your command, and they will follow me to use this machine gun!" Lieutenant Pierre said, skilfully copying it from the side A Shaosha-type light machine gun, and pick up a 20-round semi-circular magazine and install it, and pull the bolt open by the way to let the bullet enter the chamber. Make the light machine gun in your hand stand by. When a Japanese sergeant stood up and picked up another Shaosha submachine gun, Lieutenant Pierre began to explain.

"This machine gun has two shooting methods, one is semi-automatic and the other is fully automatic. If the former, please turn the firepower selector switch on the side of the gun to the c position, if it is automatic, please turn it to the m position. "

"Remember, in a battle, never expect to be able to rush through the no-man's land between the battlefields in one breath, and then have a bayonet in your hand with the opponent in a sword-and-cut duel. That is impossible. The Germans’ machine guns can shoot 12 to 15 rounds in one second! They use drums or ammunition chains, and can quickly change the barrels. Each company can be equipped with 12 to 16 machine guns, even if the distance between the two sides is only 150 meters. , It is absolutely impossible for you to pierce the opponent's chest with the bayonet in your hand. This is a lesson learned from countless blood. What you can do is rely on the light machine gun in your hand to suppress the opponent!"

As a veteran, Pierre is still quite responsible. However, as an interpreter sent by the headquarters, the interpreter believed that the excessive publicity of the German firepower before the war was a blow to the morale of the Japanese army, so after hesitating, he decided to modify Pierre's words. As a result, this became: "The Germans' machine gun firepower is also very fierce, so you have to suppress your opponents while you are on the move to reduce unnecessary casualties."

Regarding the editor's quick and neat translation ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, neither Pierre nor the Japanese felt the trickiness. After all, the attention of both parties is not on those numbers and adjectives. Now, Pierre needs to tell the Japanese how to properly use this machine gun design on the go.

"Because of the bad design, the center of gravity of this machine gun is relatively forward, and it will be very uncomfortable to shoot while traveling. Of course, this is not the most deadly. The most problematic is because this gun has a long rear seat design. In the design process, if the gun is not held steady and the follow-up occurs, then the machine gun may not be able to fire automatically. Therefore, you must remember how to hold this machine gun!" At the critical moment, the French lieutenant said loudly.

(Well, because of the poor grip of the gun, automatic shooting is impossible. For this reason, the Shaosha machine gun can definitely be among the most sad light machine guns.)

"Remember, you must use your right elbow and body to firmly clamp your butt, not against it! At the same time, hold the grip behind the magazine with your left hand. You must be steady when shooting. And never Try to hold the front of the magazine, because you may burn your hands after lighting a few magazines quickly."
