Can fight and win! Zhang Chi has heard this countless times in modern times. Zhang Chi has always thought it was just a slogan, but today, he suddenly discovered that this sentence spoke the truth of the battlefield...
If we simply put it, the most direct benefit of following an officer who "can fight and win battles" is that he has more hope of survival.
What else is more important than surviving?
So it is natural that if you "can fight and win battles", you can easily gain the trust and respect of your subordinates.
Just like now, Zhang Chi always felt that his performance was very bad, without military quality and no charm, and even his timid and fearful side was fully revealed in front of his subordinates. But he eventually won the trust of the gangster, a subordinate who was originally disdainful of him.
The reason is very simple, because Zhang Chi can fight and win battles!
Looking at the cheerful comrades around him and feeling the admiring eyes they cast at him, Zhang Chi gradually realized that his goal was no longer the initial issue of just saving his life, but also the issue of saving these issues of trusting himself and handing over his life to his subordinates.
Suddenly, Zhang Chi felt that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier, which made him a little breathless, but at the same time he felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
Under the orderly organization of officers at all levels, tanks, armored vehicles and other equipment were quickly allocated and drove into the jungle in battalions and hid.
This is not difficult for the Engineer Regiment. After all, the Engineer Regiment has been exposed to cars and other things when performing missions. Moreover, the predecessor of the 200th Division was an armored regiment, and there are many soldiers who have an understanding of tanks and other equipment.
The difficulty lies in how to operate these tanks and firearms.
Just like the battle between the Wajie Bridge that Zhang Chi and others fought before, although they knew how to drive tanks, how to fire machine guns and even fire guns, they couldn't understand what some of the instruments on the tanks did, and what some equipment did. The Wajie Iron Bridge was actually a bit lucky... This luck was that the tanks they drove could hit several cars with ammunition and cause a chain explosion.
Although the problems with firearms are relatively small, after all, the bolt-pull rifle is almost the same. The veteran will be able to shoot after taking the British rifle after studying it. However, when you go to the battlefield, you can not only know how to maintain the gun, what precautions are needed, etc.
The first thing that Wang Mazi thought of was the British army. Isn’t the expeditionary army at this time an ally of the British army? Isn’t it enough to ask his allies to send a team of instructors to teach!
But it is not that simple to do...
What would the British do if the British knew that the Expeditionary Force had seized such a large amount of equipment? Will they ask the Expeditionary Force to return the equipment to them? Will the Expeditionary Force return or not return it?
For this regard, or to reduce unnecessary trouble, Wang Mazi did not make any request to the British army...Facts proved that such concerns were necessary, because in the subsequent battles, the British army discovered that the Expeditionary Force had this batch of equipment and soon came to the door.
Of course, this is all a story.
In fact, Dai Anlan also considered these problems. His solution to this problem was to...send two people here.
One of these two people was named Zhang Qing and the other was named Huang Leiming.
Zhang Qing was a major. He was originally the deputy battalion commander of the Tank Battalion. The only three tanks in the ancient times were commanded by him. The reason he was sent here instead of others was because the deputy battalion commander had studied in the American military academy and drove the American M3 and M4 tanks... There were also many soldiers who went abroad in the expeditionary army, such as Sun Liren who was studying in the United States, Liao Yaoxiang who was studying in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
This is because as early as the 1930s, when the Japanese invaded the three northeastern provinces, the Kuomintang realized the gap between China and the world's powers, so they consciously sent domestic talents to study abroad.
Zhang Qing was one of them, so the tank problem was solved, and Zhang Qing served as the instructor to be responsible for the training.
Huang Leiming is a lieutenant company commander, and he is not a "returnee". The reason why he sent him here was because he was a Hong Kong man who had been trained in the British army's troops stationed in Hong Kong... Of course, the gun he used during training was Enfield, so he was naturally responsible for the guns.
The training began that night, mainly because the war was tight and there was not much time left for them to train. The soldiers of the Engineering Corps were willing to give up their rest time to train. Even Zhang Chi, who had always been negative, had no complaints... This is a matter of his life. If he couldn't shoot the gun when he walked onto the battlefield a few days later, wouldn't he just send his head to the little Japanese and let him chop it?!
That's why some people say that one day on the battlefield may be a month on the training ground. There is no reason. Training on the battlefield can be said to be extremely cruel. Survival of the fittest. If you practice well, you will live, and if you don't practice well, you may very likely mean death. Under this pressure that can be said to be related to your own life and death, everyone will try their best to learn.
Zhang Chi didn't want to die, so he could only use all the time he could use to practice shooting, maintenance, tactics, etc.
But as you practiced, Zhang Chi felt something was wrong.
Zhang Chi also knew some of Enfield's rifle. He knew very well that Enfield was an excellent rifle. It was not only powerful but also had a long range. Its biggest feature was its fast firing rate... When other bolt-pull-type rifles could only fire five to eight rounds in a minute, the Enfield rifle could fire more than 30 abnormal bullets in one minute. Moreover, this was the shooting speed of ordinary soldiers. Soldiers with skilled operations could also shoot thirty-eight rounds in one minute. (Note: Enfield uses a rotating rear pull bolt, which saves time and effort and is easier to operate, and the bullet capacity is 10 rounds, which is twice that of a general bolt-type rifle).
You should know that the Japanese devil's crooked machine gun only fired about 120 bullets in a minute.
That is to say, every four Enfield rifles are equivalent to a crooked machine gun... This firepower can often suppress the enemy's heads and cause heavy casualties in the first round. This is why the opponent often thinks that the British army has many machine guns firing at them when facing Enfield. It is precisely because of this that Enfield rifles have the saying "crazy one minute".
