The battalion and company cadres, like the student soldiers, who had the mentality of visiting and learning, saw Wang Chengzhu’s arms close to the tail end of the FM31 grenade launcher. The muzzle was angled upward. After aiming with the ruler for a few seconds, he pulled the trigger of the grip. Four grenades were fired in succession.
After the second shot was fired, the shooter's whole body remained motionless, relying on his physical fitness to resist the recoil.
The grenades emitted gray-white smoke and hit the live ammunition throwing position in the distance one after another. From a distance, the half-meter-thick parapet no longer existed, leaving a concave ruin in place.
Wang Chengzhu stood up, lifted the handle of the launcher with his right hand, walked to the crowd four or five meters behind him and began to explain: "This grenade launcher has an effective range of 500 meters and a maximum range of 600 meters. But the comrades have all seen it.
Such far-reaching conditions."
"Comrade Wang Chengzhu, you called this a direct-fire weapon before, but why is the muzzle raised so high?" the second company commander asked strangely.
"This is exactly what I want to say. With the results just now, I may not be able to hit all four shots if I try it again." Wang Chengzhu said modestly, "The deflection angles of Type 28 rifle grenades and Type 89 grenades are mostly between forty and fifty.
The attack distance is about 175 meters. This weapon is mainly used to make up for the 100-meter firefighting distance between rifles and grenades. It is designed to be a direct-fire cannon, which is a bit of a waste.
"I recommend that soldiers use this piece of equipment as they used to use rifles. Put the tail end into the shoulder socket, use standing position in the trenches, and use prone position in the field. Only attack targets between 50 and 150 meters, which is safe and
Complete combat missions effectively."
"Why is this? The effective range is five hundred meters, but it is recommended to hit close targets." The second company commander asked.
Wang Chengzhu knew that his display of skills set a bad example for his comrades, so he had to try his best to explain and save the impact: "This grenade has a single weight of 509 grams. Affected by gravity and wind resistance, it can maintain a straight trajectory of 150 meters."
I can’t stand it any longer.
"So the shooting posture that the comrades just saw is that the muzzle is tilted upward, and the ruler is raised to aim. The squatting posture is suitable for performances in training grounds or attacks behind low walls, for suppressing fire in open areas and in fortifications, and for direct shooting with machine aim.
That's enough."
The instructor couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Wang Chengzhu's defensive expression: "Our Comrade Xiao Wang's skills and tactics are obvious to all. Comrades, study hard, train seriously, and strive to surpass him as a teacher." Someone started to make peace, but it was inconvenient for the first company commander to continue.
After further questioning, this episode was turned into a joke and passed away.
Seeing that his partner was acting as a peacemaker, Zhang Dabiao called the company cadres and soldiers to see the weapon's attack effect.
Arriving at the original grenade training site, the instructor of the first company who had previously suggested that Wang Chengzhu choose this place as a target was speechless. Ten minutes ago, it looked like a standard trench fortification, but now it has been bombarded into a series of small pits on the flat ground.
A gap of more than one meter wide was opened in the center of the parapet, which was half a meter thick above the ground. The trench was almost filled with splashing soil, and the wooden dummy and three-pronged roadblock arranged by Wang Chengzhu personally showed a charred look in the floating soil.
; There is a lot of mud in the traffic trenches and shelter pits behind the bunker. As a fortification behind the bunker, the puppets and the bulletproof inserts on the puppets were preserved.
The wooden dummy in the trench not only looks unrecognizable, but the soil that comes into view with his hands reminds many soldiers of a battlefield dominated by grenades. There is no blood flowing freely on the wooden dummy, but after passing through
There are gaps between the stacked bulletproof boards, and the shrapnel inserted into the puppet's body is still shocking.
The soldiers and cadres who inspected the scene dug out the target puppets and roadblocks from the trenches. They placed them on the flat ground next to the ruins according to their positions before and after the attack, for others to visit.
After seeing the shooting effect of the grenade launcher, Wang Chengzhu accompanied the battalion and company cadres to see the chest target pole that was bombed twice. The dust fell back to the ground under the action of gravity, and the chest target on the wooden pole had turned into ashes.
All the fly ash was removed, leaving only a section of the white-barked pine plug dug out of the ground that had not been burned into charcoal.
The soil on the ground was blown loose by high-explosive bombs. If the topsoil hadn't been scorched black, this would be a good place for spring planting.
After the usage demonstration, Zhang Dabiao asked about the topic he was most concerned about: "Comrade Wang Chengzhu, these three things don't seem difficult to use, at least I think you can do it at a glance. Please explain to me, and it will not affect the actual combat in the future."
Under the premise, how many pieces can be used to train the soldiers?"
"Battle Commander Zhang, don't worry. The regiment leader also asked this question before, and the answer I gave is that if there is no supply of other items, five hundred can be made every day." In the eyes of everyone's expectant eyes, Wang Chengzhu made a decision.
An answer that fits the atmosphere, "After dinner, I will receive a request for supplies from the political commissar of the regiment. On this basis, a total of 120 new weapons will be given to the first battalion for training every day. I can report it to everyone on site.
