Shui Rou’s lectures were even more lively and humorous. In his first class, he talked about soldiers. He said:
"Our army, or any army, is composed of soldiers. So a single soldier is the most basic combat unit in any army. That is to say, the quality of a soldier is
, is also directly related to the fate of a grassroots unit.
Especially veterans who have been on the battlefield are the most rare. They are elite soldiers, and they can also be said to be the kings of soldiers. Therefore, veterans are the soul, backbone and framework of the army; we all know that building a house requires
There are columns and beams with a frame. If the frame is gone, the house will fall down. Therefore, veterans in the army must not lose it easily."
"If our team wants to produce an outstanding veteran, it must be tempered by actual combat, time, blood and fire. It takes several people to produce an outstanding veteran. The others all died in the battle.
This brings up a question. What is it? How to ensure the lives of the veterans in the army. That is, don’t charge lightly. Why do you still charge when there are bullets? Some people may say, don’t charge.
How can you kill the enemy? The old tradition of the Eighth Route Army is that the bayonet will see red."
"The bravery and fearlessness of revolutionary soldiers cannot be reflected here. You cannot shout a charge just to save a bullet. Bullets are used to kill the enemy, not to save. Therefore, do not shout a charge easily unless it is absolutely necessary.
What we should pay attention to is that when the bayonet turns red, it is a way of fighting under certain conditions. It is not a general rule. Regardless of the changes in battlefield conditions, the combat method will be the same. It must be generalized under all battlefield conditions.
implemented. You still have bullets, so why
You still have to use your body to fight the Japanese army with bayonets? Aren't you stupid? Besides, not all of our soldiers have better bayonet skills and physical strength than the Japanese army. We eat differently, and the soldiers' physical strength is also different.
It is not enough to have a fearless spirit, you have to use your brain to fight."
"I have also heard some people say that the battles of the Jiang regiment were really interesting. They never charged once. They were afraid of death."
"If you ask me, you are really right. I am afraid of death. I am afraid that my soldiers will die unjustly. There are obviously still bullets, but just to save money, I have to use my body to meet the bullets. What kind of charge are you going to do?
Tiger? Are you invulnerable? Your current soldiers are all veterans and are extremely precious. I can't trade them for a few bullets."
When Shuirou said this, she was extremely emotional. He paused to calm down his emotions.
The people listening below deeply felt Shuirou's deep feelings for her comrades. This is a good leader who knows how to cherish the lives of the soldiers.
It is also an honor to fight under his command. Everyone carefully experiences the combat principles taught by Shui Rou.
"Also, some people are talking about our regiment's training. It's a waste of bullets. There are too many live rounds. It's also a waste of bullets."
"I'm going to say it here. You said it was a waste of bullets? But do you know? Why is it that the gunner in the hunter's beard can shoot accurately? Then I tell you, it is also practiced and piled up with bullets.
They are not born with it. There are those who are born with it, but they are rare. They are extremely rare.
Think about it. If you don’t practice with live ammunition, you won’t know the characteristics of the gun. You won’t have the feel of the gun. Then you won’t be able to shoot accurately. Let me give you an example and think about it:
You have 5 bullets, and you saved 4 bullets. Then you went to the battlefield, and with these 4 bullets, you didn't hit the enemy with a single bullet. The enemy discovered that you were shooting, and shot you with one shot.
dead.
There is another person, he also has 5 bullets. He used four bullets to experience the shooting skills carefully. After going to the battlefield, he shot down the enemy with only one bullet. As a result, he captured 50 bullets. Do you guys count?
Let’s take a moment, who is right and who is wrong?”
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this, it was obvious.
"So, bullets are not wasted. Of course, you must experience it with your heart during shooting training. You must make the gun communicate with your heart. You must cultivate feelings.
For a soldier, his gun is his lifeblood. Of course, the person who said this is not wrong. There are historical reasons for this."
"The predecessor of our Eighth Route Army is the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. It was started by the peasant uprising, holding a shuttlecock and a broadsword in hand. Comrade He Long started his career with two kitchen knives. This is not shameful. We are poor. We have never had such a problem in our family.
Guns, no one has ever touched a gun; I have no money to buy a gun. I finally grabbed a few guns and just a few bullets, but I still want to beat the enemy. The Bai Gouzi you used to call were Bai Gouzi and the others at that time.
There are not many bullets either. So
Of course, we captured less and were reluctant to use them during training. Bai Gouzi also used very few bullets for training at that time, so we sacrificed fewer people at that time. In addition, our momentum at that time
Hao Hong and Bai Gouzi are also afraid of close combat with us. But it is different now. We are facing the Japanese army. They are strictly trained troops. Their individual skills and tactics are very good. This is
Essential difference.
We must clearly realize that our current combat targets are different; of course the training methods and methods must also be improved, and of course our combat thinking must also be improved accordingly.
But the vast majority of our officers are not good at thinking. However, due to inertial thinking, we rely on empiricism and some dogmatism. How can we be willing to waste bullets by letting soldiers practice shooting? So we develop this habit.
There is an old saying in our country about the habit of thrift, which is called "Habit becomes natural". Therefore, we habitually think and understand it. We do not see the serious situation in the combat methods brought about by the changes of the times and the combat objects.
This is a terrible way of thinking. We must respect the life of every comrade and do not put them in dangerous situations because of our fault."
"Practice shooting inevitably requires the use of bullets. We don't produce bullets, but we can steal them from the enemy. There will be bullets, and as long as you shoot accurately, you will have everything. This requires us to strive to shoot accurately in combat.
In every battle, there must be seizures. There must be a surplus in expenditure and income. Only in this way can we maintain our combat effectiveness.
I don’t know if you have noticed. After our Eighth Route Army soldiers fired on the battlefield, very few Japanese soldiers fell. So they shouted to move the enemy closer and fight. The enemy is closer and the target is bigger, so it is easier to fight. But you think
But, for a well-trained enemy like the Japanese army, this is a very dangerous approach.
First, the Japanese army's shooting ability is very strong. If you feel good at shooting, the Japanese army can shoot better than you.
Second, if you accidentally miss a shot, in such a short distance, the Japanese army will easily jump into your fortifications to fight with you. Your defense line will be easily broken through. Also, the weapons in our hands
The guns are all single-shot rifles, which are loaded by pulling and pulling the bolt. They are very slow, which will also leave gaps for the enemy.
