Soon, after Japan equipped this machine, Japanese soldiers whose physique and strength attributes were one level lower than those of Europeans soon found a problem. The French based on practical experience, they required that the Japanese machine gun teams must have the ability to transfer quickly and continuously shoot. What does this mean? In addition to taking parts of a certain machine gun, the deputy shooter also needs to carry an additional box of bullets.&1t;/p>

How heavy is this? A Japanese sergeant once described it like this. "In addition to 5 machine gunners, our machine gun team is equipped with an additional 4 ammunition hands. In the original case, each ammunition hand had to carry two ammunition boxes in addition to the rifle in his own hands. Each ammunition box weighed about 12 kilograms. We used 24 standard ammunition boards, and each ammunition box could hold 12 ammunition boards, which is 288 bullets."&1t;/p>

"We began to feel that these bullets were enough to use. After all, four ammunition hands carried thousands of bullets, and two deputy shooters would also carry an extra bullet box, which would have about 17oo bullets. In the Russo-Japanese War, such a reserve amount could take at least half a day, but in Europe, we now, this is not enough."&1t;/p>

"So, when the number of people has not changed much, we have increased the number of bullets. Each ammunition carries three boxes of bullets, and those who are complex in carrying machine gun parts also need to bring an extra box of bullets. Therefore, our machine gunners, who weigh less than 70 kg, need to carry a tripod with a weight of more than 30 kg and an ammunition box weighing 13kg, as well as various oil pots, dry food, first aid kits and other items, and then move on a muddy battlefield. This is simply hell!"&1t;/p>

Then what? A rifleman carried his own rifle, three ammunition boxes weighing 4 okg, plus other miscellaneous pieces, almost equal his own weight... With these things, he shuttled between muddy land, craters, barbed wire, and minefields. It was definitely a tragic thing for the Japanese who had a difference in physical strength from the British and French troops.&1t;/p>

With basic infantry equipment, French instructors began to teach the Japanese how to survive in a hellish battlefield with the help of the translator.&1t;/p>

"The guys from the Far East, this time, the opponent we are facing is the most powerful 6th Army in the world. They are not comparable to the Russians you have fought. From now on, forget your former glory and your previous tactics. Those are outdated things. You are now elementary school students. Study hard! Otherwise, I can guarantee that half of you will never see the sun on the battlefield the next day!" The person in charge of training for Soichi Desouchi's troops was a Lieutenant Pierre from Bordeaux. The lieutenant had experienced five battles and was promoted from a private to a lieutenant. The reason for this is that the bosses of his troops have been cleaned up......&1t;/p>

"When the platoon attack, you must revolve around your Shaosha machine gun. Well, although it only has 2o magazines, although the shooting is not high, and although there are disadvantages of one kind or another, this is the strongest firearm in your hands, and you can only rely on him!"&1t;/p>

As he said that, the lieutenant began to demonstrate to the Japanese how to use the Shaosha machine gun in his hand. If all the light machine guns in history were given a name, it is hard to say that the best use was. The British Lewis, the German MG15, and the Danish Maderson machine guns could all win this honor, and each had their own benefits. But if you choose the worst machine gun, the French Shaosha machine gun would definitely be able to surpass the heroes...&1t;/p>

"Okay, Mr. Colonel, now find me the strongest soldier under your command, and then they will follow me to complete the use of this machine gun!" Lieutenant Pierre said, skillfully picking up a Shaosha light machine gun from the side, and picking up a 2o semicircular magazine and installing it, pulling the bolt to let the bullet enter the chamber. The light machine gun in his hand is in a standby state. When a Japanese sergeant stood up and picked up another Shaosha submachine gun, Lieutenant Pierre began to explain.&1t;/p>

"This machine gun has two types of shooting methods, one is semi-automatic and the other is fully automatic. If the former is, please turn the firepower selector switch on the side of the gun to the c position. If it is automatic, please turn it to the m position."&1t;/p>

"Remember, in battle, never expect to rush through the unmanned land between the battlefields in one breath, and then use the bayonet in your hand to have a fierce showdown with the opponent. That is impossible. The German machine gun can shoot 12 to 15 bullets in one second! They use drums or chains, and can quickly change the barrel. One company can equip 12 to 16 machine guns. Even if the two sides are only 150 meters apart, you will never be able to stab the opponent's chest with the bayonet in your hand. This is the lesson learned from countless blood. And all you can do is rely on the light machine gun in your hand to suppress the opponent!"&1t;/p>

As a veteran, Pierre was still quite responsible. However, as a translator sent by the headquarters, the translator believed that it was a blow to the morale of the Japanese army before the war, so hesitated and decided to modify Pierre's words. So, this became: "The German machine gun firepower is also very strong, so you must suppress your opponents during the journey to reduce unnecessary casualties."&1t;/p>

For the quick and neat translation, neither Pierre nor the Japanese felt the trick. After all, neither of them focused on the numbers or adjectives. Now, Pierre needs to tell the Japanese how to use this machine gun correctly to design it during marching.&1t;/p>

"Because of the bad design, the center of gravity of this machine gun is relatively high, and it will be uncomfortable to shoot while traveling. Of course, this is not the most fatal. The most problematic is that this gun is designed with a long back seat. If the gun cannot hold the gun and follow it up during the design process, it may prevent the machine gun from automatically firing. So, you must remember how to hold this machine gun!" At the critical moment, the French lieutenant shouted.&1t;/p>

(Okay, because of the poor gun holding method, it is impossible to shoot automatically. In this way, Shaosha machine gun can definitely be among the most miserable light machine guns.)&1t;/p>

"Remember, use your right elbow and body to tightly clamp your butt stock instead of holding it back! At the same time, hold the grip behind the magazine with your left hand. Be sure to be steady when shooting. And don't try to hold the front of the magazine, because after almost cutting out a few magazines, your hand may burn."&1t;/p>
