Chapter 134: Training Snipers
Close-hand bayonet combat is more shocking than gun combat, and many veterans have experienced hand-to-hand combat.
They have also seen recruits survive Japanese artillery fire and machine gun fire, only to suffer mental breakdown during hand-to-hand combat.
Although these people are all veterans with rich combat experience, they often go deep behind enemy lines and face enemies several times their size.
Close combat means that the soldiers are at the end of their rope.
Of course, in addition to training, Zhao Zhiguo also explained the knowledge of firearms to the soldiers, disassembled the parts of the guns one by one, and taught them how to maintain them.
"The gun is the weapon of a soldier. If a soldier loses his weapon, he will have no choice but to wait for death. Therefore, how good you are with your gun is how good you are with the gun."
Zhao Zhiguo disassembled the Thompson submachine gun, the Jaap's Type 38 rifle and its crooked handle one by one, and placed them in front of the soldiers.
"The gun must be wiped and oiled regularly, which is what we call maintenance. How good you are with the gun, they will save your life at critical times."
After disassembling the gun's accessories, Zhao Zhiguo let the soldiers familiarize themselves with it.
After getting familiar with the guns, Zhao Zhiguo organized them into a group of eight people. In a group, two people held submachine guns and two snipers. The remaining four people held grenade launchers and grenade launchers respectively.
ammunition.
"You have three teams in total. The team leader is appointed by Yao Pengju, but the team leader must be someone with a submachine gun. The deputy team leader is selected from a sniper."
Since the captain of the special operations team is Yao Pengju, Zhao Zhiguo naturally wants to give Yao Pengju some power.
"Yao Pengju, you also have a submachine gun. As their captain, you must always stay with your soldiers and charge into battle with them."
Holding a submachine gun means being on the front line at all times, which is the responsibility of a grassroots officer.
"Who else among you wants to be a commando?" Zhao Zhiguo raised a submachine gun high.
The two dozen soldiers looked at each other in confusion. There is a saying on the battlefield, whoever attacks the first one will be a hero, and whoever charges the second one will be a martyr.
It is human nature to fear death, and everyone wants to live well.
"I understand you. Each of you has good marksmanship, and you are all veterans in the army. The first ones to charge are all new recruits. Since you have given up, the team will be disbanded. You will still be squad leaders when you return."
"I'll do it!" A veteran stood up, "Grandma is a bitch, I don't want to be a coward."
Wherever the first one comes forward, there will be the second...
"You won't regret it! Yao Pengju, the leader of the three groups will choose from six of them! You will lead them to familiarize themselves with submachine guns, and the rest will follow me."
The commandos already have suitable candidates, and Zhao Zhiguo wants to select a few soldiers with good marksmanship among them.
Guns, ammunition, and a box of grenades have already been prepared on the training ground.
"We all know that good marksmanship on the battlefield can frighten the enemy, but how can you make your marksmanship perfect? Training is very important, and talent is equally important. I will select ten people from among you."
Zhao Zhiguo stopped and looked at the soldiers who were still standing at attention: "Watch what I do. Listen to me and aim at the target and shoot at the target. Each of you will have thirty rounds of bullets. After shooting, stand at attention."
"Bang bang bang bang"
The soldiers immediately lay down with their rifles in hand, aimed at the target 200 meters away, and started shooting.
Zhao Zhiguo ignored the noisy gunfire and continued to speak loudly: "You must be wondering, we only have three groups, why did we choose ten? The reason is also very simple. Snipers can easily pose a threat to the enemy, and little devils can also
We will try our best to get rid of the snipers first, they have cannons, planes, and tanks!"
"Once the position of the sniper is determined, when their marksmanship is not as good as yours, they will first call for artillery support or aircraft bombing. The remaining four people are your substitutes, which means that you died in the battle, in order to allow the front to charge.
The soldiers will still have continued cover, and they will take your place."
While Zhao Zhiguo was speaking, he watched the soldiers shoot. Under the noisy gunfire, many soldiers could not hear what Zhao Zhiguo was saying.
As Zhao Zhiguo finished speaking, the sound of gunfire also disappeared.
"As expected, they are all veterans, and their marksmanship is good!" Zhao Zhiguo looked at the target with a telescope, "Did you hear what I just said?"
"Report to the battalion commander, I heard that the snipers will not only encounter the Japanese soldiers, but may also be bombed by Japanese artillery fire and aircraft."
A soldier is relatively close to Zhao Zhiguo, so he can naturally hear clearly what Zhao Zhiguo is saying.
"Very good, you stay!"
Then Zhao Zhiguo walked up to another soldier.
"Did you hear what he said clearly?"
"Report to the battalion commander, listen clearly!"
When the soldier just answered, his voice was very loud, so you could naturally hear him clearly.
"You stay!"
Zhao Zhiguo selected the ten with the best marksmanship among these people.
"The rest of the people can go get the grenade launchers. Four people can get two grenade launchers. The soldier carrying the grenade launchers needs to carry two rounds of matching ammunition, and the other two soldiers carry six rounds of ammunition."
Zhao Zhiguo quickly arranged the positions of each warrior.
"Leave the sniper to me for training, and you will be responsible for training the remaining soldiers." Zhao Zhiguo said to Yao Pengju.
"Batalion Commander, I don't even know how to train them!"
Yao Pengju led troops for the first time, and Zhao Zhiguo also handed over all the best soldiers in the battalion.
"Physical fitness, balance, confrontation, and cooperation between soldiers all need training. You make a training plan for them every day. During non-war times, these soldiers eat three meals a day, one more meal than ordinary soldiers."
Due to the lack of supplies, everyone had to eat twice a day when there was no fighting.
The soldiers in the special operations team are trained much more heavily than ordinary soldiers. Zhao Zhiguo decided to give them extra meals to ensure that they have sufficient physical strength at all times.
"I took note of it!"
Yao Pengju was serious. He held a notebook in his hand and wrote down what Zhao Zhiguo said.
Zhao Zhiguo took ten sniper seedlings to a clearing in the mountains and forests.
"Snipers are also called sharpshooters as the saying goes. You must have understood this already, but snipers often do not fight alone. They are accompanied by an observer. Who among you knows what the role of an observer is?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.
"Batalion Commander, observe the target!" a soldier replied.
"Congratulations, you have learned to answer questions quickly. You must shout a report when answering questions!"
"Yes, report!"
"Yes, as the name suggests, the observer is to observe the target, but the target of observation must be a valuable and threatening target!" Zhao Zhiguo added.
