Chapter 33 Crazy for a minute

"Instructor Huang!" When Huang Leiming passed by, Zhang Chi called him.

"I've seen British guys shooting... They can shoot very quickly!" Zhang Chi lied. He had never seen any British guys shooting.

"Um!" Huang Leiming nodded.

"That's a rapid-fire shooting method!" Huang Leiming replied. After all, this was Myanmar during the war. It was common to see British people shooting, so Huang Leiming did not realize that Zhang Chi was lying.

"Quick-shooting method?" Zhang Chi took a stance that he wanted to hear the details.

Huang Leiming was already very busy, and he was not willing to continue to hang up with Zhang Chi anymore. But he knew that the platoon leader in front of him, who was not very shockingly, was Zhang Chi who had led dozens of people to repel thousands of Japanese troops and seized this batch of equipment not long ago.

So although he was a little impatient, he still nodded patiently and replied: "Yes, rapid-fire shooting method. The movements of this rapid-fire shooting method are a little different. Pull the trigger not by index finger but by middle finger, and then unlock the bolt with his index finger, and lock the bolt with his thumb, just like this..."

Huang Leiming said as he picked up his gun and demonstrated it.

"Oh!" Zhang Chi quickly understood, and that was actually to take care of one task with his thumb, index finger and middle finger, especially to pull the trigger with his middle finger... In this way, there is no need to pull the trigger with his index finger like usual movements, then get out of the trigger to unlock and lock the bolt, so the action naturally becomes much faster.

"Instructor!" Zhang Chi asked in confusion: "Then why... don't teach us this move?"

"Hi!" Huang Leiming raised his head and replied helplessly: "What's the use of shooting fast? It's fast to consume bullets, and it's thirty rounds a minute. One base ammunition is only three or four minutes!"

"Oh!" Zhang Chi couldn't help but nodded, but then he stared at Huang Leiming blankly.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" Huang Leiming was a little confused.

"Instructor!" Zhang Chi replied: "If this is in China, your statement may be correct, but now we are in Myanmar, and we are still shooting British guns and using British bullets..."

"Um!" Huang Leiming quickly understood when he heard this.

The British's fast-fire shooting method is indeed not suitable for the Chinese army. The reason is that domestic ammunition is very precious and cannot afford to play this "crazy minute" method... Just kidding, so even if there is ammunition only passes through one China-Myanmar highway to replenish. If you play this "crazy minute", the ten China-Myanmar highways will not be enough for transportation.

However, different situations have to be treated differently. Now the only one who uses Enfield rifles in the Expeditionary Force is the Engineer Regiment, while the British ammunition is piled up in the warehouse and they are not taken away. This is the case in ancient times, but it is probably the same in other places. You can even see guns and ammunition discarded by the British along the way... In other words, there is no shortage of Enfield rifle ammunition at all, so what can I save ammunition?!

"Hey, look at me!" Huang Leiming slapped his head awkwardly and said, "I'm used to it. I'm just thinking about how to save ammunition, but I didn't think about it in this regard! Third platoon leader, you are right..."

As he said that, he did not hesitate anymore and shouted at the soldiers who were training: "Everyone has it! Practice the rapid shooting movements below..."

In fact, Zhang Chi mentioned this rapid shooting method with Huang Leiming after some consideration.

It can be foreseeable that the Engineer Regiment will fight against the Japanese army on the battlefield in the near future, and its opponent may be the 56th Division, known as the "King of Jungle Warfare".

Although Zhang Chi had fought with the 56th Division at Wajieqiao before and won a completely disproportionate victory with less, it was more about taking advantage of tricks and luck, and he really wanted to fight a tough battle with the Japanese army... The quality of the engineering regiment was definitely far from that of the Japanese army.

In any case, the Japanese army has been trained for a long time and tempered on the battlefield. This cannot be compared with the engineering regiment that can be trained for just a few days on the battlefield.

In other words, the Engineer Corps is at a clear disadvantage in terms of tactics, marksmanship, and stunning qualities.

So why did the Engineer Corps defeat the Japanese army?

It depends on unexpected style of playing.

Quick-fire with Enfield rifle is one of them... Our shooting skills are not as good as yours, and our tactical actions are not as good as you, so we don't compare these. We compare firepower, grab the gun and shoot randomly. Using the high-fire rate of Enfield rifle, we hit the bullets and hit you in a rain of rain, and then we'll start to shock you.

This practice lasted all night, and the soldiers stopped to rest until dawn the next day.

The reason for training and resting during the day in the evening is that the Japanese army has completely mastered air supremacy. If they shoot guns and drive tanks during the day, they will be discovered by Japanese reconnaissance planes and will attract their bombing even in the jungle.

On the other hand, doing this is actually practicing night combat capabilities. From this, it can also be inferred that when the engineer regiment goes to the battlefield to play a role, it is very likely that it is at night.

During training, I didn’t feel that the soldiers at this break felt almost exhausted. Many people fell asleep on the ground when they heard the order of “rest in place”.

But some people are getting tired and unable to sleep. Zhang Chi is one of them... It's not that he doesn't want to sleep, but that his nerves and muscles are tightly shattered all over his body have not yet relaxed. Even though he has closed his eyes, he is still thinking about various training movements and various battle scenes in his mind.

"Platform leader!" Xiao Zhejiang ran to Zhang Chi, handed Zhang Chi a steamed bun and a kettle, and said, "Have you heard it? Last night, the main force of the 56th Division of the Japanese had arrived, and blocked the highway north of the airport and occupied the east bank of the Sedang River!"

"Um!" Zhang Chi couldn't help frowning after hearing this.

"So that..." The fellow villager who was still gnawing steamed buns just now stopped his movements and said in a vague way: "Are we surrounded?"

"Where is the west?" asked the gangster: "Where is the west British?"

"The British guy has already run away!" Xiao Zhejiang showed a disdainful expression on his face: "It is said that after learning that the armored regiment was surrounded last night, the main force of the British army flew away in a swarm, and didn't even say anything to us."

The soldiers couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, someone cursed hatefully: "Damn British!"

"Why don't we retreat early?" Another asked: "Why should we stay here and wait for the Japanese to surround us..."

Yes! Why?
