Company Commander Zhao did not dare not to tell the truth at this time, so he told the truth: "After this training, many people reported that they wanted to transfer to the heavy artillery group. You don't know that after the battalion reform began, our artillery company increased.
A platoon of heavy artillery is a very rare item for everyone, and many veterans want to try out new equipment.
But after this try, everyone couldn't stop. After all, the heavy artillery is controlled by the computer. As long as the target point is entered, it can be automatically corrected. The shooting is accurate and the firepower is fierce. Who doesn't want to switch to the heavy artillery?
What about the group?
But after all, there is only one platoon of heavy artillery, and good equipment must be given to good soldiers. So our artillery company headquarters came up with a way to compete for posts. After all, if the artillery company wants to exert its combat effectiveness as quickly as possible, it must make good use of these heavy artillery.
, as long as the heavy artillery can achieve results, it can naturally make up for the shortcomings of the small artillery.
Since there is competition for employment, no matter what they do, veterans are always better than recruits. Whether it is the adjustment input of various parameters or the cooperation between loading ammunition, veterans are always stronger. This leads to heavy artillery.
There are more sergeants over there.
A few days ago, our company party committee realized that this was not going to work. As an artillery company, although heavy artillery is the top priority, the role of small artillery cannot be replaced. Therefore, we made personnel adjustments a while ago and transferred some heavy artillery personnel to
The non-commissioned officers and the new recruits of the small artillery were exchanged, and as a result, both sides were incompetent. Then during the last training, the combat effectiveness of the artillery company was reduced, and as a result, the battalion leader scolded him."
After listening to this, Lin Yi probably understood, and then said: "Then if you let me watch this performance today, it is nothing more than replacing people again. Then what's the point of doing this? Isn't it just to deal with errands?
?
I know that because of the new equipment in your artillery company, the personnel will be a little rusty when getting started, but the operation of heavy artillery is obviously simpler. Why didn't you restrict the non-commissioned officers from competing for posts in the first place? They are obviously veterans. You let a group of
It is obviously unfair for veterans to start on the same starting line as a group of new recruits."
Company Commander Zhao quickly explained: "Deputy Battalion Commander, although the operation of heavy artillery is simple, maintenance is very difficult. After all, there are so many high-tech equipment, which requires a certain foundation. In order to increase the strength of the artillery company as soon as possible, let the non-commissioned officers first
It’s a helpless move, and more importantly, the veterans prefer the bigger guys.”
When Lin Yi heard this, he asked Company Commander Zhao to summon all the noncommissioned officers of the heavy artillery group.
Soon the twenty or so non-commissioned officers of the heavy artillery group were gathered. Seeing so many non-commissioned officers, Lin Yi shook his head helplessly. The heavy artillery group was only a platoon, and it was enough to use ten non-commissioned officers. This actually took a lot of time.
With twice the number of non-commissioned officers, although the efficiency of heavy artillery has increased, the efficiency of small artillery, which requires more experience, will be much lower.
So Lin Yi looked at the crowd and shouted: "I heard from your company commander Zhao that you all like the big guy. Tell me why you like the big guy."
Although the non-commissioned officers have all been soldiers for several years, they are still a little nervous when facing the deputy battalion commander, and no one dares to take the initiative to speak.
Seeing everyone's appearance, Company Commander Zhao roared: "Usually you shout the loudest, but now the leader is asking, why are you all mute? Hurry up and speak."
At this time, a sergeant stood up and said: "I am reporting to the deputy battalion commander that the reason why I like heavy artillery is very simple. It is because of its large caliber and strong firepower."
Lin Yi clapped his hands: "That's right. The firepower is strong. This should be the main reason."
The sergeant no longer showed any timidity: "Yes, our artillery battery itself is fire support. The stronger the firepower, the more powerful the support will be."
When Lin Yi heard this, he showed a puzzled expression: "You said your company is engaged in fire support?"
The sergeant was stunned when Lin Yi asked back, and then whispered: "Isn't the artillery company engaged in fire support?"
Company Commander Zhao also coughed twice: "Deputy Battalion Commander, the artillery battery is for fire support."
Lin Yi shook his head: "But I didn't see the artillery battery providing fire support at all. Let me give you a question now. There are many enemy points two kilometers away that need fixed-point fire coverage. What should you do?
"
When the sergeant heard Lin Yicheng test himself, he said without thinking: "A distance of two kilometers is the fastest to clear with a vehicle-mounted rapid-fire mortar."
Lin Yi pointed to a vehicle-mounted rapid-fire mortar group of a group of recruits: "Do you expect them to carry out targeted elimination of enemies? Rapid-fire mortars, especially vehicle-mounted rapid-fire mortars, will hit the target because of their faster rate of fire.
The probability will be greatly reduced. What if you let a superior soldier serve as a shooter? Do you think they can go out?"
The sergeant naturally knew what Lin Yi meant, but personnel transfers were not something he, as a sergeant, could make the decision for, so he stopped talking.
At this time, Company Commander Zhao also quickly said: "The operation of vehicle-mounted rapid-fire mortars is indeed more difficult, and because of the faster rate of fire, even the artillery battery does not dare to use full firepower during training. The amount of training ammunition is not enough, even if
Even with many non-commissioned officers, there is no guarantee that the shot will hit the target.
Just like the rifle shooting training of infantry, an average soldier only needs thirty or fifty rounds of training in a month, but he can shoot 500 rounds in a year.
If it were a bolt-action rifle decades ago, the training volume of 500 rounds of bullets could indeed cultivate the shooting skills of a veteran. But for modern rifles like ours, 500 rounds of bullets are not even enough to shoot in one minute.
of.
After all, the rate of fire of our 95 rifle is 650 rounds per minute, and this amount of ammunition is simply not enough,"
Lin Yi knew what Company Commander Zhao wanted to say, but what he said did make sense. For modern infantry, the training volume of thirty or fifty rounds of ammunition a month was indeed not enough.
As for the 95 rifle he said has a fire rate of 650 rounds per minute, this is correct, but in fact, the 95 rifle has a single fire rate of only 40 rounds per minute, and a continuous fire rate of only 100 rounds.
It's far from being so exaggerated that you can use up a year's worth of training bullets in one go.
However, it is an indisputable fact that the amount of training bullets is small.
Some people may wonder, now that we are a militarized power and the second-largest military organization in the world, why do we still have insufficient bullet training?
The main reason for this is that the role of rifles is no longer of decisive use in modern warfare. A rifle is said to have an effective range of 400 meters, but for ordinary soldiers, with a machine sight,
Being able to hit the target within 100 meters is already very good.
If you can still hit a moving target a hundred meters away, then it is no exaggeration to say that you are an excellent shooter.
