Zhang Wei told He Jinhai all the tactical purposes of forming the engineer platoon.
He Jinhai was still very sensitive and had a pretty good understanding of Zhang Wei's requirements and tactical purposes.
His thinking has also changed from a simple engineer platoon leader to an infantry platoon leader who has mastered the knowledge of engineers.
Of course, the difference between the two itself is not that big.
The two had a heated discussion on the construction of the engineer platoon.
Before talking about tactics and training, equipment must be mentioned.
What is the current technical and professional equipment of the engineer platoon?
Hexagonal barbed wire and ordinary barbed wire, sandbags, and various working tools.
Barbed wire is used to dig positions and build blockades.
Sandbags are used for fortifications.
These are defensive tools and are played by skilled infantrymen. of turn.
The only anti-personnel weapons are the explosives issued for blasting, and they are all bulk explosives.
For combat engineers, just having these is not enough.
When attacking, you cannot use barbed wire and bulk explosives.
"Captain, since our platoon is a "combat" engineer platoon, we must have the ability to attack.
The equipment we have now is not good at all.
Moreover, you require us to have the ability to clear mines and attack under heavy firepower.
We also don't have the tools to clear mines.
No, it lacks strong firepower.”
He Jinhai's thoughts changed quickly after he smoothed his thoughts.
Of course, Zhang Wei knew that the current equipment was not enough, so he had to figure out what equipment to obtain and what equipment to supplement.
The combat engineer platoon must have powerful explosive attack firepower.
This is one of them.
The old skills of engineers cannot be lost yet.
In terms of defense, Zhang Wei requires the ability to clear mines and blast, and offensive mine laying is not planned.
He Jinhai said that engineering troops not directly under the Ministry of Military Affairs do not have the ability to mine mines, and the troops will never replenish mines when replenishing their equipment.
He Jinhai himself only has certain theoretical knowledge about mine operations and has never done any actual operations.
Zhang Wei also has a dispensable attitude towards mine laying operations.
If you don't know how to lay mines, it's not necessarily true for the Japanese army.
The Japanese army's engineers all have the ability to lay mines, and the engineers have complete equipment.
Therefore, anti-mine capabilities are a must.
During the retreat phase of the Battle of Songhu, Zhang Wei and the others suffered losses from the Japanese mines.
The Japanese laid many mines along the way, and many retreating Chinese troops were hit by mines.
In short, in addition to using strong firepower and melee firepower assault, we must also have the ability to prevent Japanese engineers from laying mines.
"Captain, we can't carry out offensive mine laying.
If the Japanese army mines mines, we usually use mine sweepers to sweep them.
But we have too few engineers, so using mine sweepers will definitely not work."
After thinking about it, He Jinhai said that the engineer platoon had a small number of people, and it was too inefficient to use a minesweeper to deal with the mines planted by the Japanese engineers.
"Well, what you said makes sense.
It seems that we have to find a solution for some equipment ourselves."
Zhang Wei looked sad.
After discussion, Zhang Wei and He Jinhai found that the gap in the hardware equipment was really difficult to solve.
There is no anti-mine equipment, which can be used more closely at close range, nor is there any powerful blasting equipment.
It is impossible to get these things if you report to the higher authorities, because the higher authorities don't have them, and the equipment given to the engineers is just that.
"Captain, for powerful blasting equipment, we can tie the bulk explosives together, which is much easier to use than individually."

He Jinhai finally told Zhang Wei that the explosives should be tied together to increase the power, but in fact the effect was not great.
Only the power has been increased, and the way of carrying and using it has not changed.
However, it reminded Zhang Wei that stacking explosives can increase the power.
As the power increases, what needs to be changed is the way of carrying and fighting.
Simply increasing the power of pure explosives cannot increase the combat effect.
The close-combat explosives carried by engineers must be powerful, and easy to carry and use for attacks.
Ordinary engineers can easily pile up explosives, arrange them, and design detonation methods under the protection of infantry troops.
However, combat engineers themselves have to undertake combat tasks.
In the rain of bullets, they have no time and energy to design, produce, and transform explosives.
It is simple to use and powerful, and it must be equipped with equipment that you can make, plus the Japanese mines that you may face.
After thinking about it, He Jinhai never figured out that the only engineering equipment he had used was that the military education of the national army could not keep up with the times.
In addition to using explosives to make more powerful explosives, He Jinhai also thought Nothing else comes out.
Zhang Wei thought for a long time.
In the end, thanks to the memory of his previous life, the equipment currently in service in various countries has exactly what he needs now.
If Zhang Wei was still a native of the Republic of China, he might not have thought of this.
It can be exploded and is easy to carry.
It can be used for engineering work and mine clearance.
The most important thing is that it can be modified by yourself.
The blasting tube is of course the best choice.
In later World War II movies and TV series, blasting tubes have a high rate of appearance, and they are usually used by American soldiers, which just meets their requirements.
This thing first appeared in World War I.
It uses explosives, detonators, fuses, and an outer sheath.
It is very easy to modify.
Prepare a tube or steel pipe, stuff the explosives inside, and then install the fuse, fuse, or detonator. , this thing was basically transformed.
Nowadays, they are manufactured in various countries.
Most of them are used by American soldiers in film and television works.
For example, at the beginning of Saving Private Ryan, there is a scene of the landing US military using blasting canisters to blast German fortifications and bunkers.
The Japanese army, the sworn enemy of the national army, also has special blasting tubes, and they have been used many times on the battlefield.
The national army indeed had no blasting tubes and no experience in using them.
When Zhang Wei said the three words "blasting tubes", He Jinhai was confused and had no idea what Zhang Wei was talking about.
The national army's education in blasting for engineering soldiers still relies solely on explosive blasting and lacks follow-up research on new military technologies.
It is not surprising that He Jinhai does not understand it.
"Captain of the blasting tube, how can we modify this thing?"
He found a sharp weapon, which can be used both offensively and defensively.
Zhang Wei was excited and explained the principle to He Jinhai.
He took out his notebook and drew the general structure of the blasting tube. .
"Look, a blasting tube, a blasting tube, definitely needs a tube.
This thing is to load the tube with explosives, add a detonator and a fuse, and use the explosion to attack the Japanese fortifications."
"This thing is easy to use and not difficult to make.
It can also be used for demining."
"What do you mean, when you encounter a minefield, tie these tubes together and explode the mines?"
He Jinhai asked.
Zhang Wei thought to himself that he was indeed a professional engineer.
He knew everything about it and responded quickly.
"Of course they are used for demining, but they are not tied.

You think, these things are long tubes.
Connect them section by section and arrange them in the minefield.
Once they are detonated, a safe passage will come out. " After Zhang Wei finished explaining how to use it, He Jinhai, who had never touched a blasting tube, said excitedly: "Captain, this is a good thing.
It can be used to attack and defend.
At worst, it can be thrown out as a big explosive
