As for the "not reliable enough", some people have proposed that they can be equipped with flintlock rifles - such as the Brown Bess, a time-tested model. However, this proposal was opposed by the industrial sector and the Planning Institute. The structure of the Brown Bess and the Mini rifle
It's completely different. All parts except the gun stock cannot be universal - it is equivalent to opening a new production line for it. Not to mention ammunition cannot be universal. It consumes a lot of extra resources and manpower to arm a small number of troops. The gain outweighs the gain.
In the end, Wang Luobin, who was attending a meeting in Lingao, proposed a new plan to produce a "monkey version of the Mini Rifle." Specifically, it would use the structure of the existing Mini Rifle and use most parts in common, but the barrel would not be rifled.
.
Because there is no rifling, the range and accuracy of the monkey version of the Mini rifle have been greatly reduced. However, it is still much stronger than various matchlock guns and fire door guns in this time and space, even compared to mature flintlock guns like Brown Bess.
Guns also have certain advantages, and they maintain a generation gap with the regular army.
The monkey version of the Mini rifle does not require modifications to the production line or special processing. It only eliminates the drawing and rifling production process, saving manpower and material resources. When necessary, it can be restored to the "standard version" by changing the barrel. This is a huge savings.
Manpower, material resources and ammunition can also be used universally.
The most important thing is that the production technology of mercury and flash caps is monopolized by the Senate. Even if the weapon is lost, the person who obtained the weapon cannot use it. This is much safer than a flintlock gun - a flintlock gun is very
It is easy to be repaired and used, but without a flash cap, the Mini gun is just an iron fire stick. So far, although hundreds of Mini rifles have been in an "unrecovered" state, no force has been found to be able to use the Mini rifle.
.
The idea of this monkey version of the Mini rifle was quickly implemented, and the Japanese company obtained the first batch of "Nanyang-style rifles"-because in the plan for the security army, the future security army will mainly deploy the batch in Southeast Asia.
The rifles are not all new-made. Some of them are refurbished rifles that were replaced by the Fubo Army and had worn rifling, and were reinstalled with smoothbore barrels.
First, firearms training was carried out for Japanese corporals. Once the Nanyang-style rifle was put into training, it was well received by these people. Almost all of them had experience in using matchlock guns, whether it was the Japanese-made monkey version of the Tanegashima Iron Cannon.
They had come into contact with both genuine Portuguese and British matchlocks. Regardless of the comparison in terms of shooting accuracy and shooting speed, the huge advantages of the Nanyang-style rifle made them stunned.
After the corporal squad leaders mastered the shooting and soldiering skills of the Nanyang-style rifle...early the next morning, the entire onboard battalion gathered at the training ground.
"Starting today, you will receive weapons. Run forward!" After the education sergeant gave the order, each education class ran in columns to the weapons depot under the command of the password.
Tables and gun racks have been set up at the entrance of the weapons depot. Everyone has received a Nanyang-style rifle and a matching bayonet. The weapons personnel are responsible for managing the issuance of weapons numbers. Then each education class organizes weapons structure and soldier explanations at the training ground.
Murasaki Hideji said loudly: "Each rifle is engraved with the emblem of the Senate - the Morning Star. Therefore, it cannot be treated lightly." A soldier's awareness of cherishing the gun can tell the mental state of the soldier, so it must be
Be careful with your guns!"
He was giving lectures from the training class with great emotion when suddenly there was a "click" sound from behind the team. Everyone looked back and saw that it was the Yabei training soldier who accidentally knocked down his newly issued rifle and was panicking.
Zhang Di went to pick it up∠Kawa Hideji roared loudly: "Get out!"
Yabei suddenly turned pale with fright.
"Asshole!" Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of slapping his mouth. Shuji Kawa yelled: "It's over for a guy like you! Asshole! Everyone stand at attention! If you treat the weapon roughly, you must turn it off."
Confinement. Only one meal a day, do you understand? Idiot! You will be punished by carrying three rifles while standing guard at night!"
Then they introduced in detail how to use guns and bayonets, including their use of disassembly and assembly. Then everyone began to try to disassemble and assemble weapons and weapons.
The structure of the Mini rifle is quite simple, but it is still not easy for people without military awareness.
"I said it once, did you remember it all?!" Zichuan roared at all the soldiers. All education in the military camp is compulsory indoctrination, and the soldiers are forced to remember it by shouting reprimands.
The rifle shooting training lasted for a week. Most of the Japanese mercenaries had matchlock shooting experience, so there was not much difficulty in using Nanyang-style rifles. It was even much faster than the recruits of the Fubo Army who could adapt to it much faster - the latter only overcame their resistance to firearms.
It takes a lot of effort to develop fear.
After 40 consecutive unloaded firings and 20 live ammunition firings, the troops switched to bayonet training. After eight weeks of training, the basic training of the Japanese Battalion of the Security Army came to an end and the formation of the troops was carried out.
The more than 370 Japanese mercenaries who originally signed a contract to work for the Senate were eventually organized into four security army companies. The number was still a hundred people. However, there were no drummers or flute players in the companies, only flag bearers and trumpeters.
‖, Platoon-level officers and company chiefs are temporarily served by naturalized civilian soldiers drawn from the regular army. In accordance with the principle of low-ranking and high-ranking officers, former regular army sergeants serve as platoon commanders, and staff sergeants serve as company commanders. Their military ranks remain unchanged.
However, you will enjoy corresponding job allowances.
The establishment and use of the security army were decided based on discussions at the "Danzhou Seminar".
When the security war in Qiongbei was about to end, the initiative to establish a full-time security army had already appeared. In order to give full play to the role of the security army, the General Staff held an "On-site Seminar on Anti-Guerrilla Security War" in Danzhou. Xue Ziliang introduced the
The methods, ideas and experiences and lessons of a series of anti-guerrilla operations carried out in Danzhou under his leadership.
One of the main experiences summarized from the meeting is: while mastering sufficient mobile forces to carry out strikes, it is necessary to ensure effective control and management of various strongholds and residential areas. Militia and national army can be organized in the ruled area.
"In the newly occupied areas, there must be sufficient security forces to control the main residential areas, deter the local powerful, ensure that the enemy cannot obtain supplies and personnel from the residential areas, protect the local administrative institutions, and ensure the smooth flow of orders.
.
The security forces formed for this purpose do not need to be large-scale, nor do they need to be integrated - they do not need to form special logistics teams and heavy fire support teams - this part is the responsibility of the regular army, even in formation and tactical training.
It can be greatly simplified. Overly complicated queue change training and collaborative tactics training are not required.
Combat training emphasizes shooting, bombing, fighting, earthwork and riot control, and tactics focuses on patrol and defensive operations.
Because the security army deploys and operates in a decentralized manner, the largest tactical unit is the company with detachments set up as administrative management and logistics supply units. The number of companies under the detachment is not fixed to meet the needs of decentralized deployment and flexible configuration.
After graduating from the onboard battalion, they were sent to the naval training brigade in Bopu for two weeks of ferry adaptability training and shipboard hand-to-hand combat training to make final preparations for departure. The onboard battalion will be deployed as part of the security force's advance team.
to Taiwan, and then send some to Jeju Island.
The naval training camp is located in Bopu. Almost all the facilities are the works of the People's Commissar of the Navy Mingqiu. Unlike the military military commander Mingqiu, who is very knowledgeable about military history and equipment, Ming Lao is serious about the pan army, starting from the top soldier step by step.
Those who came up have their own unique experience in training and leading troops.
"Review!"
"Please take a moment"
"The first company of marines moved ashore quickly, but the equipment is all wet, how can we still fight?!"
"The combat training mission of the Second Marine Battalion is already halfway through, and someone has cut the sail and cable, will they fight the pirates with their stomachs by then?!"
…
Working under Commander Ming, it is necessary to be scolded every day, but as an old navy, it is only Mingqiu's professional habit to be more serious on the training ground. After he is disbanded, he will get along with the majority of commanders and soldiers. However, as an old navy, Mingqiu
He is used to being able to fly quickly in the air, and even his dreams are about the sharp bow splitting the white waves. He is a complete amateur when it comes to maneuvering a sailboat and arranging a battle line, and he has not thought about how to command the most powerful surface fleet in this time and space.
…
kill!
ha!
prick!
Roar!
Rest for 5 minutes! You can go to the toilet, but you are not allowed to go far!
Yes, sir!
Disband!
Murasaki Hideji and seven or eight Japanese men walked to the shade of a tree to drink water with Nanyang-style rifles with bayonets in their hands. While looking at a group of Australians in the distance standing in a strange formation, holding strange flags and bamboo poles,
They walked slowly, stopping from time to time to point and point or go back somewhere and start walking again. I really didn't understand what they were practicing.
Mingqiu and his officers ignored the pointing fingers of the Japanese mercenaries in the distance and continued their own training.
Strictly speaking, this cannot be regarded as training. This is a tactical simulation method invented by Admiral Ming. It is similar to the former space-time pilot holding a small plane on the ground and performing various flying movements. However, now each captain leads several subordinates to stand together.
The platoon simulates a ship. Ship 901 and ship 854 are the treasures of the Senate. The Senate and the Executive Committee are wary of naval personnel with pirate backgrounds, so when appointing the first batch of key officers on the ship, they first
The emphasis on "reliability" has made the ship maneuvering and tactical abilities of the officer corps of these "capital ships" fall behind.
In order to make up for this shortcoming, it is necessary to strengthen training. There is very little training time for them. They will soon go to sea to perform missions. Targeted aviation training can only be practiced while sailing, and tactical training must start in advance. (To be continued.
