In the open space behind the preparation camp playground, behind the training recruits, a team of more than a hundred people was standing in the open space.
These soldiers were wearing grass-green semi-coarse military uniforms, and their steel helmets gave off a dazzling sound in the sun.
Light, on the right side of the helmet, porcelain blue sky and white sun badges are firmly inlaid here. 35 steel helmets have been issued to them in advance.
Other recruits who are training do not have this preferential treatment.
The soldiers stood in squad units.
The squad leader and deputy squad leader of each squad were sergeants who had led the troops to teach the use of Su weapons.
They wore leather belts around their waists.
There was a round bronze medal on the sergeant's collar badge, which clearly represented them.
Heavy machine gun icon for identity, The machine gunner's auxiliary shooter, reserve shooter and driver, saddler, and ammunition hand stood behind the squad leader in turn.
There were also three or four squad soldiers with no fixed duties, holding Zhongzheng rifles, belts with grenade belts, and a pair of infantry company rifles.
Soldier's dress.
In front of the six heavy machine gun squads, their weapons, the Soviet-style Maxim heavy machine guns, were placed.
The huge gun barrels were painted in emerald green.
The gun barrels were protected by casings and filled with water injected from water tanks through conduits Cooling water, under the gun body is a machine gun frame composed of two wheels and a gun frame.
There is also a 250-round ammunition box placed beside it, which is fed by a canvas belt.
In addition to firearms and equipment, a machine gun squad should also have horses and saddles for carriage.
When Zhang Wei's preparation battalion received the equipment, the saddles were issued, but the horses were not in place.
Zhang Wei looked at the heavy machine gun company that had been organized into an army and was very satisfied.
Although he currently has a question mark on the tactical level of the machine gun company, at least the shelf was set up.
His sergeants who taught Su weapons to use , all serve as monitors, deputy monitors and For the position of gunner commander, Zhang Wei now plans to hand over the positions of the three platoon commanders to these sergeants.
One reason is the lack of personnel.
Zhang Wei does not want officers with no combat experience to take the position of machine gun platoon leader.
He didn't want to fail when it was time to call for fire support.
After a brief glance, Zhang Wei finally expressed satisfaction and nodded lightly: "Brothers, thank you for your hard work.
The work of the machine gun company is not easy to do, especially the recruits, who gritted their teeth and did it.
No one ran away, yes, I would like to thank you here, and it is also thanks to the sergeants that I can practice this What a machine gun company?"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Wei glanced at the three sergeants standing behind him.
These people were considered the leaders of the heavy machine gun company sergeants.
During the training, they did not serve as squad leaders in each squad, but organized the unified organization.
Management training, now when standing in line, did not join the queue, but stood with Zhang Wei.
"Battal Commander, it's okay, let's not start then," one person said to Zhang Wei.
After the formation, they will start to conduct heavy machine gun position construction exercises and live-fire shooting exercises.
The troops are not just showy, they must not only have appearances, but also There must be something inside.
Zhang Wei nodded and casually designated two squads.
The sergeant behind him quickly ordered: "Class 2 and Class 5, prepare."
Zhang Wei took a few steps forward and looked at the two classes he named.
Issued his first drill order for the heavy machine gun company.
"Snap forward ten meters, build fortifications on the spot, and shoot directly forward."
"Yes" the monitors of Class 2 and Class 5 replied in unison.
The two squads quickly took action.
The squad leader, deputy squad leader and gun commander were all sergeants.
The whole class of soldiers quickly took action under their command.
Regarding the tactics of using heavy machine guns, Zhang Wei targeted the officers and sergeants every night. in education All have mentioned the tactics of using heavy machine guns.
They generally prefer to place heavy machine guns directly on the front line.
Not to mention that they are easily attacked by Japanese level artillery fire.

From the perspective of killing the enemy, with the dispersion of the Japanese army, Troop formation and single The distance between the soldiers and the heavy machine guns simply deployed in the front line position only faced a small part of the Japanese attacking team, and could not form an effective killing firepower surface at all.
In the Battle of Songhu, how many troops had heavy machine guns?
In this way, all the attacks will be reimbursed, and the machine gun team will be wiped out together.
However, by correctly arranging the positions on the sides and rear of the position, a larger killing surface can be formed to attack the Japanese army.
Unfortunately, most squadrons cannot do this at all.
Zhang Wei had never personally handled the soil work and position construction of the heavy machine gun company, and all training tasks were left to the sergeants.
"Quick, lift up, move forward, dig trench" Following the order of the heavy machine gun squad leader, the soldiers first painstakingly removed the gun body and gun frame.
Then the gun commander used his strength to lift the heavy machine gun body.
The two reserve shooters lifted the gun frame.
Moving forward, the driver and saddler are assisting, the ammunition soldier carries a wooden bullet box in each hand, and the water tank and water pipe are carried by the rifleman and the driver.
The two infantry squads quickly ran forward ten meters.
The second squad was obviously faster and rushed out before the fifth squad could unload their guns.
The ten-meter transfer distance was quickly completed.
The gun commander quickly ordered the gun body to be closed, and the cooling water pipe and water tank were installed.
When the heavy machine gun was assembled, everyone began to dig positions.
The soldiers used small shovels and small pickaxes to The dirt on the ground was dug up.
The excavation work for the two heavy machine gun positions began.
Zhang Wei didn't react much.
Looking at the progress of their homework, he couldn't say anything now.
He had a bad feeling.
With a few more symbolic gunshots, the exercise of the two squads was over.
The soldiers of the heavy machine gun squad who had completed the exercise were sweating profusely and stood in the heavy machine gun position they had just dug.
Look at Zhang Wei.
"Barracks, how are they doing?"
the sergeant behind asked cautiously.
"Not bad."
After saying this, Zhang Wei walked towards the two heavy machine gun squads.
The sergeant behind him quickly followed up, fearing that Zhang Wei would go far away.
"Sir" Zhang Wei stopped at the heavy machine gun position.
The squad leaders of the two squads on the left and right saluted him, and the soldiers also saluted.
Zhang Wei returned the salute and began to look at the fortifications they had completed.
Generally speaking, it was quite good.
Yes, the front is narrow, and the heavy machine gun is placed on a flat area outside the front trench.
The soldiers of the heavy machine gun squad behind the gun commander are all in a small position, and ammunition boxes and water tanks are stacked in the gaps between a few people.
"You did a pretty good job, but there are a few things you should pay attention to, and remember them when you train in the future."
Zhang Wei glanced at the three sergeants following him.
"First of all, let's talk about maneuvering.
The distance you maneuvered just now, that is, the distance you ran, was only a dozen steps.
At this time, there is no need for you to dismantle the heavy machine gun.
You can have several people carrying the gun frame to the It is too time-consuming and labor-intensive to load and unload back and forth.”
"Yes, sir, but when Lao Maozi and the instructors taught us, they always taught us this way." said the monitor of class three.
Zhang Wei smiled: "Rules are dead, not to mention that they should be talking about long-distance transfers.
When we are short-distance, we can be more flexible and leap forward with guns, you think so."
"Yes, sir, you are right."
The sergeant behind him was a little embarrassed and his voice was a little softer.

"Okay, I'm not lecturing you.
You all did a good job.
Also, next time you do fortifications, you can dig a bigger place in the back and place the ammunition and people more dispersedly.
It will be safe and comfortable."
Zhang Wei pointed out.
Refers to a somewhat crowded trench.
Zhang Wei went into some more details.
It was almost done when the machine gun company was organized into an army.
Three sergeants accompanied him throughout the whole process.
When Zhang Wei left the heavy machine gun company, he gave two orders.
One was that the machine gun company was in the afternoon.
You can reduce the training time of the soldiers by one hour and let everyone take a rest.
In addition, he also told the three sergeants who have been following him that the three platoons of the heavy machine gun company will be handed over to you in the future.
In other words, Zhang Wei They were appointed platoon commanders.
The three sergeants have been soldiers for a long time, and they are longer than Zhang Wei anyway.
When they heard that Zhang Wei asked them to become platoon commanders, their faces were all red, and they were determined to serve Zhang Wei to the death, both in front and behind the horse.
Zhang Wei could only sigh, add carrot and stick:
