Chapter 331: Discussion of the Engineer Platoon 1


The teaching team conducted training step by step according to the training plan formulated by Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei supervised the training.

Sometimes, Qiu Wei would watch when he was absent.

The same thing is repeated every day, and time really flies by.

Materials for the teaching brigade are allocated regularly on a monthly basis, mainly to allocate military pay and food, and at the same time to replenish a small batch of equipment and ammunition.

Along with the food and military pay, there was also engineering equipment.

Since the teaching brigade had added an engineering platoon, we specially applied for a batch of engineering equipment from the division and received it together with He Kun's baggage platoon.

On this day, Zhang Wei and He Jinhai, the platoon leader of the engineer platoon, went to see the things that had been distributed and the baggage had just been pulled back.

He Kun gave Zhang Wei and He Jinhai a glance at the sent list.

The engineering equipment distributed this time included 30 additional engineer shovels and picks, 100 rolls of hexagonal wire mesh, 300 rolls of ordinary barbed wire, 25 boxes of explosives, and 300 sandbags.

Zhang Wei looked at the list and felt very dissatisfied.

He shook his head at the list and expressed his dissatisfaction.

The engineering equipment that Zhang Wei applied for was all fortifications, and there was not a single piece of offensive equipment for engineers.

"Jin Hai, the things sent out this time are very ordinary.

Look, they are all for digging and building fortifications.

Apart from explosives, there is no attack equipment at all."

Zhang Wei handed the list to the engineer platoon leader He Jinhai, but He Jinhai showed no reaction and looked normal.

"Captain, our engineers are basically like this.

When our engineering department was studying in school, we basically learned how to dig soil, how to pull barbed wire, and blasting, but it was not the main subject."

Zhang Wei graduated from the infantry department and had never studied engineering.

His inherent impression of engineers came more from the capable engineers of later generations who built bridges over water, dug roads through mountains, played with explosives every day, and carried infantry equipment on their backs.

Zhang Wei's goal is also to build his engineer platoon into an elite combat engineer platoon.

"In addition to soil engineering, your engineering department should also learn demolition and minelaying.

You can't be like us infantry and just be a country rat."

Zhang Wei joked.

He Jinhai explained again.

"Captain, what we learn is mainly soil engineering, and we also learn bridge engineering.

We don't learn much about laying landmines and playing with explosives.

Among them, we learn the least about laying landmines.

Look at our engineers.

The divisional engineers don't know how to do it at all.

Bray."

The so-called geotechnical engineering, as the name suggests, is the construction of basic civil fortifications and field fortifications, and bridge engineering is the erection of bridges, such as pontoons and temporary bridges.

The current engineers of the national army are just doing these jobs, digging soil and building bridges, doing the most basic civil fortifications, and sometimes doing blasting, that's all.

Even the ability to lay mines is only available to the engineering troops directly under the Ministry of Military Affairs.

Ordinary troops are not issued landmines at all.

The engineering units of many infantry divisions have equipment similar to that of infantry, but their combat capabilities are even weaker than that of infantry.

As an engineering student who had studied in a military academy for three years, He Jinhai would definitely not understand Zhang Wei's intentions after learning under this system.

The engineer platoon had four squads, and Zhang Wei equipped them with very luxurious weapons.

The squad leader and deputy squad leader of each squad were all equipped with Mauser twenty-ring guns.

Zhang Wei also gave them all the flower traps he had captured before.

Five flower traps were seized from the Japanese plainclothes, and three more were collected from elsewhere.

To make up the supply, each engineer squad was equipped with two more flower traps, which were assigned to the sergeants of each squad.

There were also twenty rounds of bullets and shell guns. , don’t worry about ammunition supply.

Each squad is equipped with two twenty-guns, two flower machine guns, a Czech light machine gun and six 79-79 rifles.

The firepower is not weak.

"Jin Hai, do you know why I gave your engineer platoon such strong firepower?"

He Jinhai didn't answer, and he didn't know that the National Army's engineering troops basically did the work of digging soil and building bridges.

They were often used as second-line infantry troops, and their equipment level was not as good as that of infantry.

Zhang Wei gave his engineer platoon such good equipment, but He Jinhai really didn't understand.

Zhang Wei looked at He Jinhai and the platoon leader who were confused.

Combined with the education he had received, He Jinhai's understanding of engineers and soldiers was probably still at the average level of the current national army.

He is an excellent engineer officer of the national army, but he is not the combat engineer officer Zhang Wei wanted.

"Captain, my subordinates don't know."

He Jinhai said bluntly.

"Okay, let's talk about it briefly.

I want you to act as combat engineers."

"To put it bluntly, they are elite infantry who have mastered engineer skills.

First of all, the infantry's combat skills must be excellent, even stronger than ordinary infantry companies.

It is precisely because your platoon is a veteran that it was changed to a combat engineer platoon. " "Your tasks are not only normal civil engineering and bridge work, but also the ability to clear mines and play with explosives.

When the infantry cannot break down the position, you can use the equipment and tactics of the engineers to tear apart the Japanese defense line.

"Kouzi."

"I have given you such strong firepower just for this moment.

From the engineer shovel to the twenty-gun, steel mesh and explosives, they are all your weapons.

You are not only engineers, but also an assault force in your hands. strength."

Combat engineers must first be elite infantry, and then master the various professional skills of engineers.

Moreover, combat engineers are more focused on "equipping engineers for close combat."

Taking the German combat engineers as an example, the firearms equipped are the same configuration as infantry, machine guns and rifles.

In addition to completing normal engineering operations, when necessary, the German combat engineers will attack on the front line and attack with close combat firepower.

This close combat firepower is obviously not output by pulling the big bolt.

It relies on a large number of grenades and explosives, as well as professional equipment such as blasting tubes for engineers.

The combat engineer platoon of the teaching brigade has strengthened the close combat firepower of firearms.

Zhang Wei's purpose is the same, requiring them to use engineering equipment and engineering knowledge as a weapon to defeat the enemy based on better quality.

Pull them up where the infantry can't knock them down.

They rely on their geotechnical capabilities that are stronger than ordinary infantry to stick to them.

They use various equipment of engineers and close combat firepower to defeat the enemy and attack the enemy's defense line.

Hearing Zhang Wei's explanation word for word, He Jinhai gradually gained a new understanding.

After all, he came from the engineering department.

There are some things in common between the infantry department and the engineering department.

"My subordinates probably understand, but if this happens, wouldn't they have to learn infantry subjects and infantry tactics?"

He Jinhai asked.

Zhang Wei nodded, thinking that He Jinhai's reaction was very quick, and he generally understood Zhang Wei's needs, and now he thought of learning infantry tactics.

As the chief officer of the combat engineer unit, certain basic infantry tactics must be mastered.

But in Zhang Wei's view, He Jinhai was just a platoon leader, so he didn't need to be that advanced.

"Don't worry, just have a certain grasp.

If you don't know, you can ask the squadron leaders of the infantry squadron.

Several of them are from the infantry department
