The training life of the preparation camp has since entered a relatively peaceful stage.
The troops train with a sufficient supply of meat every day.
They train hard and eat well.
The ones who suffered the most were probably the cooks of each company.
Under Zhang Wei's supervision, the cooks followed the combat soldiers in basic rifle operation, shooting and bomb-dropping training every day.
For combat soldiers, this is really nothing, but for this group of cooking soldiers who are used to being pampered, it is absolutely terrifying training.
At the same time as the basic training, the production tasks of the preparation camp in charge of the cooking class were also in full swing.
In addition to training and cooking, the cooking soldiers built pig pens and chicken pens in the camp to raise the purchased animals.
All the leftovers that the preparation camp could not eat every day were fed to these animals.
In order to fatten the animals, the cooking soldiers even let pigs and sheep out of the pens to graze during specific periods of time.
Zhang Wei said, if basic training and animals are not enough, these cooking soldiers will have to fight with the combat soldiers with bayonets and crawl into mud pits.
In order not to climb into the mud pit, these cooking soldiers worked hard during basic training, and even more hard at raising pigs and chickens.
Production work is booming, and the cooking soldiers have mastered basic combat skills.
The training of the officers and soldiers of the preparation battalion was personally supervised by Zhang Wei.
Live-fire training has resumed in the past few days, but since the ammunition has not been replenished, the amount of shooting is not very large.
As the training time goes on, problems will emerge.
Recently, the preparation camp discovered a huge problem during live-fire training, and that is the damage of firearms.
Qiu Wei and other three company commanders also reported to Zhang Wei that the recent live-fire training included rifle shooting and light machine gun and heavy machine gun cover shooting training.
One commonality was found among all companies, that is, the damage rate of Su weapons was particularly high.
The current equipment of the preparation camp is mainly Chinese and formal rifles with a small number of Hanyang-made and Belgian-made rifles.
Most of the machine guns are Soviet-style turntable light machine guns and Soviet-style 1910 heavy machine guns.
After several days of live ammunition training, the rifles that were damaged were basically old ones made in Hanyang.
The light machine gun damaged three Soviet-style rotary machine guns and one Soviet-style heavy machine gun.
The damage rate of Soviet weapons was extremely high.
The company commanders and Zhang Wei reported the specific situation and the operational experience of the soldiers below.
After continuous discussion and verification, and personally inspecting the damaged weapons, they gradually summarized the shortcomings of Su's weapons.
One of the Soviet weapons currently equipped by the preparation battalion is a Soviet-style turntable light machine gun, and the other is a 1910 heavy machine gun.
Of the three damaged light machine guns, the connection between the bullet disc and the gun body of two was not firm.
As a result, the bullet disc was detached during the shooting process, and the chamber of one was blown up.
Fortunately, the shooter was not injured.
Injured by the explosion.
The advantage of these Soviet-style light machine guns is their large ammunition capacity, but from the perspective of the preparation camp machine gunners who are used to Czech-style guns, this advantage is not obvious.
The huge bullet disc increases the bullet capacity, but also increases the inconvenience of carrying and the mass of the gun body, and the connection is very weak.
These machine guns had gone through several battles and were severely worn, eventually causing the bullet discs and gun bodies to fall off.
There are many other problems.
Because the bullet tray is too large, it is impossible to find suitable carrying equipment.
The sub-shooter of the light machine gun team can only carry the large bullet tray and follow the shooter.
In short, it is extremely inconvenient.
The Czech style can completely rely on the leather magazine pouches on the shooter and assistant shooter to carry a large number of spare magazines, which the Soviet-style turntable light machine gun cannot do at all.
Taken together, the Soviet-style light machine gun has a large ammunition capacity and a low shooting level.
These two advantages are offset by other disadvantages.
There is not much left.
This thing is definitely useful for the Maozi soldiers.
The old Maozi is tall and strong, and he can carry it without any problem.
However, the preparation camp is made up of Chinese soldiers, and the Soviet weapons are of high quality, so the problem of being too rough is highlighted.

The machine gunners in the preparation camp expressed that they still wanted to use the Czech style The ammunition capacity is a little less, and aiming is a little more difficult than the Soviet machine gun, but it is light in weight, has been used for a long time, and has rich operating experience.
The machine gun shooters all think that the Czech machine gun is more useful and put forward a request to change it.
The problem with heavy machine guns is even bigger.
The heavy machine guns in the preparation camp were produced more than ten years ago and are second-hand.
Because they are old, their chambers were blown during training.
After various situations occurred, the entire preparation camp had a very bad impression of the Soviet weapons.
The light machine gunners requested to be replaced with Czech light machine guns, and the heavy machine gunners requested to be replaced with domestically made Type 24 or German-made Maxin series heavy machine guns.
The machine gunners believed that the Soviet light machine gun was not as useful as the domestically made Czech type.
For a time, there were calls for the replacement of national weapons and equipment.
Zhang Wei listened to various opinions and coupled with his own shooting experience, he really felt that the Su weapon was not suitable for use.
The Czech type and Type 24 heavy machine guns have a long history of use in China and have rich experience in use.
The Czech type was once synonymous with light machine guns.
In this environment, shooters are generally more willing to use traditional weapons.
In addition, Su weapons do have disadvantages, so it is understandable that soldiers reject Su weapons.
Zhang Wei still remembers that the people's army's evaluation of the turntable light machine gun on the Korean battlefield was similar to the response of the machine gunners in the preparation camp.
It was also too heavy and could not be carried.
The People's Army's overall evaluation of Su's weapons is also not high.
The 1910 heavy machine gun of the same model as the preparation battalion is said to be too bulky.
The Mosin rifle was nicknamed the kick gun by the soldiers.
It is said that the nickname was derived from the tricky bolt mechanism that made it difficult to operate and that it had to be kicked to shoot normally.
The only one with good reviews is the Sha submachine gun.
The squadron's evaluation of Su weapons seems to have a feeling of being big, heavy, and rough.
Maybe Su weapons are not suitable for the Chinese body type.
The use of Soviet weapons is a helpless move for the people's army now and on the Korean battlefield.
When the quantity cannot be guaranteed, whether it is suitable for use is secondary. .
The 200th Division is basically in the same situation now.
The rifles are mainly Chinese and Chinese weapons, and the light and heavy machine guns are mixed with Soviet and Chinese weapons.
At present, the preparation camp has not replenished ammunition and equipment.
When the time comes, Zhang Wei plans to apply not to replenish Soviet weapons and instead replenish national weapons and equipment.
In addition to the shortcomings of the Su weapon equipment itself and the unsuitability of the soldiers in the preparation camp, there is another disadvantage, which is the ammunition caliber of the Su weapon.
The rifle of the preparation camp is a Zhongzheng rifle, commonly known as the 79 Zhongzheng rifle, because its caliber is 792x57 caliber bullets, while Su Ji's machine gun shoots 762x54r bullets.
In current military operations, the firepower of light and heavy machine guns is the most important, as it is the cover firepower.
In emergencies of battle, if the rifles and machine guns have the same ammunition, they can be adjusted with each other.
If it is a national weapon, the Zhongzheng gun, the Czech type and the Type 24 heavy machine gun can be used when necessary.
Sometimes we can help each other out.
The current combination of Chinese-made Zhongzheng and Soviet-made light and heavy machine guns in the preparation camp is not good.
They can only fight separately.
At most, the light machine guns and heavy machine guns can be interchanged.
This was also a hidden danger during the war, and the feedback from the lower-level soldiers was undoubtedly the most useful and direct.
Zhang Wei made up his mind that the next time he replenishes his supplies, all of them must be replaced with national weapons or foreign firearms of 79-caliber caliber
