Chapter 791 Prepare to fight!
"Squad leader, this Japanese devil also has two shoulders and one head. We are so proud of the Japanese devils, right?"
The warrior was able to say such arrogant words, first of all, it was related to the arrogance cultivated by the entire assault regiment; secondly, since the establishment of the assault regiment, he had never failed to fight the Japanese. With these two points, plus the smooth driving the Japanese from Sanqiao County out of Sanqiao County, the more everyone looked down on them.
Of course, these recruits would not know what they had done behind all this. They only knew that they had won the big victory and the Japanese fled in a panic. Therefore, they thought that the Japanese were just that.
Zhang Weiguo, the squad leader, knew all this, but now that the Japanese were coming, they didn't have time to explain to the recruits below.
Lying in the trench that had just been dug, listening to the gunshots that were so close, Zhang Weiguo thought about how to not only not dampen morale, but also attract everyone to pay attention to the Japanese's combat effectiveness.
Then, he glared at the recruits beside him, and then said seriously: "We don't know anything else, but one thing is: the Japanese's weapons and equipment are indeed much better than us. With this, it is worthy of our attention before our weapons and equipment are as good as Japanese."
This is very skillful: it just says that our weapons and equipment are not as good as the Japanese, and at the same time it also says that we are better than the Japanese in other aspects. In this way, the impression that everyone left is: as long as we seize the Japanese's weapons and equipment, the Japanese will have to let us beat them up at that time, but they dare not say anything else. Otherwise, someone else will ask: Since the Japanese are so easy to fight, why will our China be occupied by them now? By then, Zhang Weiguo will be speechless.
"Squad leader, you're right." The recruit thought for a while, nodded and smiled, "When we finish this battle and seize their weapons and equipment, we will beat them up in the future."
"We don't care about what happens in the future, but now everyone must be very energetic and try to kill the Japanese in their pockets as soon as possible." In order not to let these guys ask any more questions, he could not answer more, and to expose his level and lose face, Zhang Weiguo had to say solemnly: "Okay, the Japanese are going to be brought into their pockets. Have you heard clearly when everyone cheer up, obey orders, and respond calmly?"
"yes!"
The gunshots were getting closer and closer.
Soon, I saw a large cloth and thick coat full of patches, and the weapons I had were all kinds of, even the big swords and spears occupied a small part of the Sanqiao County Guerrilla Brigade. A few soldiers wearing a lot of patches but holding box cannons (these people were temporarily sent to the County Guerrilla Brigade, so that the County Guerrilla Brigade could not step on landmines when retreating here), led by the county guerrilla brigade quickly through the large open space in front of me and towards the exit at the other end.
Their appearance means that the Japanese are about to arrive.
At this moment, the difference between veterans and new recruits, or those who have been on the battlefield and have never been on the battlefield, is fully reflected.
All the new recruits' hearts were instantly raised to their throats, with a solemn expression and nervous expression. A little expectation was found in their panic eyes. Fine beads of sweat had already emerged from their hands holding guns. Some were even shaking while the veterans were much more relaxed, just like drinking water and eating normally. Some were even joking with each other in a very low voice, not caring about the coming bloody battle!
At this time, the role of veterans was also reflected: before the battle, the superiors had already considered the reaction of the new recruits, so they arranged for veterans to lead new recruits, especially when the assault regiments were mostly new recruits. Among them, some of them had participated in siege battles or Weijia Wharf. However, all of them were assault regiments raiding Japanese devils, and Japanese devils often took the initiative to retreat after a long time. Although this had cultivated everyone's arrogance, everyone was not truly baptized by the war.
To be fair, the real test of war lies in this kind of positional war. Because they may no longer be afraid of shooting or hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese, but only positional war is the best way to test or train them and turn them from recruits to veterans, because positional war is the most intense battle besides street fighting, a general said it well: new recruits and veterans, after a bloody battle, they are all veterans.
"What, are you scared?"
Feeling that the new recruits around him were a little nervous, Zhang Weiguo turned his head to look at them and asked with a smile that fear was contagious, especially when the pressure gradually increased, several new recruits were together. Even if some people were not nervous at the beginning, they would be contagious by the nervousness of the people around him. Finally, everyone became more and more nervous. At this time, the veterans must stand up and not only comfort everyone's emotions before the war, but also set an example for the new recruits and lead them to kill the enemy during the battle.
To be honest, Zhang Weiguo was also nervous, but he felt that he was the squad leader. At this time, he had to stand up and act as a veteran to appease the emotions of these new recruits. In the words of the company instructor, "You can't play the role of a veteran at this time, what else do you want you, a veteran, to do?"
"No, no nervous!"
Hearing that the soldiers around him were trembling with nervous bodies, but they still wanted to be face-saving and refused to admit it. Zhang Weiguo smiled and said, "Take it down! You guys are so nervous that they want to wet their pants. Are you embarrassed to lie to me?"
"Squad leader, I"
"I tell you, in fact, it is normal to be nervous at this time, but it depends on whether you can suppress it. Just like I am very nervous, but when I think about killing Japanese devils who do evil, especially when I am still hiding in this trench, as long as the Japanese devils enter the ambush circle, they can still shoot Japanese devils one by one, just like when they are hitting a fight. There is nothing to be afraid of. I don't feel nervous in my heart. Don't look at those people talking and laughing, in fact, they are even more nervous than you. However, they are all veterans, with enough experience in the battlefield. Not only can they suppress them well, but they can also relieve tension through chat."
Speaking of this, Zhang Weiguo remembered something and smiled and said, "I believe everyone knows the squad leader of our third squad, right?"
After seeing everyone nodding, Zhang Weiguo continued: "This kid was like you. When he first fought an ambush in such a position, he was a hundred times more nervous than you. You didn't know that at that time, the moment the gunshots sounded, this kid was so scared that he actually peed his pants."
This naturally caused everyone to laugh, and successfully shifted everyone's tension towards curiosity. Many new recruits unknowingly stopped shaking, their words became stable, and their laughter seemed normal.
Afterwards, Zhang Weiguo continued to give several examples of how nervous others were when they first fought a position ambush. Of course, the protagonist in these examples would definitely not be him, although he had never participated in a position war. These were either heard from others or he was just making nonsense - after all, you can't lose face in front of your own hands, right?
Such things are not only in their class, but also in other classes. Of course, the methods used are the same, and some are different. Especially for instructors, platoon leaders, grassroots cadres such as squad leaders must do this. They must ensure that the platoon or squad cannot cause any loss of wars. Otherwise, the soldiers are fine, but the squad leader who should squad will be criticized. Even before each battle, some people even concentrate the basic commanders to comfort this emotionally and hold special meetings and discussions.
Of course, at this time, no matter what routine it is, as long as it can relieve the tension of the soldiers, it is a good routine and a good way.
This kind of face-to-face comfort, which leads by example, is very effective, at least, the recruits are less afraid and afraid of the upcoming battle for the time being.
However, the real effect is reflected in the moment the Japanese arrive, and the points will be gained immediately.
Just as the veterans calmed everyone’s emotions, suddenly!
Everyone felt the vibration from the ground, which made the recruits nervous again.
"What are you nervous? Aren't the Japanese cavalry rushing together?" Zhang Weiguo looked ahead with disdain, but said in his mouth: "Now is the era of guns and cannons. Cavalry has a fart function, no! The only function of cavalry is to become a moving target. At this time, as long as there are three machine guns to form a firepower net, it is guaranteed that as many cavalry come, they will die as much as they come."
Speaking of this, Zhang Weiguo glanced at the recruits around him and continued to appease everyone: "Besides, our assault regiment is now strong. Not to mention three light machine guns, there are more than 30 light machine guns. With so many light machine guns, what else can these cavalry do besides killing after they come? So, don't look at the Japanese cavalry coming in full force, in fact, it is just used to scare cowards. For real warriors, just be calm and ensure that one shot is shot, a Japanese cavalry must be overturned."
When the recruits thought about it, they felt that it made sense: now is the era of guns and cannons, and it was not an ancient charge of one sword and one gun. Then, the role of cavalry is really nothing terrible. This is to bully the recruits, and they have never seen a cavalry group like charging, otherwise, they would never have such naive ideas. Of course, after entering the ambush circle, the range of activities of these cavalry was greatly limited, especially at this time, they had to feint attacks and could not exert the advantages and momentum of cavalry charge. It was normal to say that they became a moving target.
Besides, at this time, whether it is bragging or lying, as long as you calm everyone's emotions, let alone brag, you have to do this even if you really brag to heaven! As for the result of the new recruits being deceived afterwards? Damn, you have to wait until I have the life to walk off the battlefield before considering it.
As the ground vibration became more and more obvious, suddenly!
A group of Japanese cavalry appeared in the distance
