"When firing during the process, I suggest you use semi-automatic shooting as much as possible, rather than fully automatic. This is not a worry that you will consume ammunition, but because even if this machine gun is well maintained, after firing 3oo bullets in a short time, it will have to stop shooting due to overheating of the barrel. This natural cooling process may take several minutes."&1t;/p>

"Okay, guys, start to feel the firepower of the Shaosha machine gun." Pierre walked to a shooting range, then steadily held the machine gun in his hand, and easily shot a long shot and several single shots. After a while, about three or four bullet holes appeared on the target 15 o meters away.&1t;/p>

The Japanese sergeant next to him was not that good. The first time he used this weapon, except for the first few bullets, he was quite reliable, and the ones behind him were all flying. Then the Japanese, who thought he was losing face, lying on the ground and used a lying position to increase stability. He opened his bipod and aimed at the target in the distance.&1t;/p>

"No, friend, wait, this won't work!" Before Pierre could stop the latter, the Japanese sergeant screamed with the tweet of the machine gun. Because of the principle of long back seats, the back of the Shaosha machine gun easily hit the face of the lie-shaped shooter when shooting continuously! Unfortunately, this kind of sergeant was slapped in the face. Historically, Shaosha was called a face-slapping gun in the French army. It can be seen that the human-machine function of this gun is really not very good.&1t;/p>

After stumbled for three weeks, the Japanese finally had a rough understanding of the French weapons in their hands. It only took 3 days to truly learn shooting, and the longer world is to learn how to maintain the weapons in their hands, such as how to clean up dust and mud caused by many large openings on their bodies. For example, how to protect fragile magazines. The magazines on their bodies are easily crushed when the Japanese suddenly lie down. And when the bullets are full, the z-shaped springs in the magazines are easily fatigued and lose elasticity.&1t;/p>

However, this is not the whole problem of Shaosha. Soon, some Japanese soldiers responded that when the bullet is dirty, it will not be loaded, the gun cannot be locked, the gun is overheated, contaminated or carbon deposits will lead to the inability to automatically shoot, and what's more serious is that this machine gun cannot be disassembled and troubleshooted... In other words, after it is broken, the French begged God and the Japanese begged Aunt Amaterasu, this gun cannot be counted on...&1t;/p>

(If the evaluations in the history of the Allies are still to be discussed, then the German evaluation is enough to prove the failure of the Shaosha machine gun. The German machine gunners will conduct training on various machine guns that can be found on the battlefield, including Lewis machine guns, Maderson machine guns, etc., but there is no training on the Shaosha machine gun... From this we can see that the Germans are disdainful of this.)&1t;/p>

Soon the Japanese cooled down quickly from the excitement after receiving new equipment, especially after seeing the Lewis machine gun when they visited the British firepower display, they were even more dissatisfied with the British and French approach. The Lewis machine gun had a 47-bullet drum, which could fire 1O bullets in one second, while Shaosha had only three in one second. Not to mention the bad man-machine. Finally, when the Japanese asked why the French produced such a inferior machine gun, the French explained it very simply because it was cheap and convenient to produce!&1t;/p>

Historically, when the French produced this machine gun, they used stamping, ruffling, welding and other technologies, and used fewer parts. Therefore, the French produced 247,000 units during World War I! In the same period, only 50,000 Lewis machine guns equipped by China, the United States and Britain in 1st World War I! From the beginning of World War I to the suspension of production of Lewis machine guns in 1946, a total of 148,000 units were produced!&1t;/p>

Is Lewis machine gun good? Very good. Bissausha doesn't know where it is taller, but unfortunately, the cost is too high, and the tank is only 5 ooo pounds! So, from this perspective, Shaosha is indeed very successful, at least allowing the French to have a lot of automatic firepower!&1t;/p>

Mastering the weapons in his hands is just the first step for the Japanese army to become familiar with the European battlefield. They also need to learn a new set of tactics, how to fight small-scale infantry with machine guns as the core, and how to launch large-scale combat under the cover of artillery and tanks. Just the small-scale cooperation of more than a dozen people made the original 6th Army feel quite uncomfortable.&1t;/p>

The German Storm Commando was once prominent in history. In fact, the French were also very powerful in the middle and late stages of infantry tactics. Of course, because of the bad weapons in their hands, the team holding the Shaosha machine gun would normally not be able to beat the Germans with mg15 light machine guns...&1t;/p>

But you can't say that the French 6th Army is not good at tactics. In this plane, the French have already pointed out a squad-platoon combat mode based on machine guns and grenademen. A standard French infantry platoon consists of three combat teams, among which the machine gun team equipped with the Shaosha machine gun is 4 people, including the chief and deputy shooter and two ammunition hands. Generally speaking, each ammunition hand will carry a special backpack containing 12 magazines and a handbag that can accommodate 4 magazines. Then there is a grenade team equipped with grenades. In addition, the remaining infantry form a support team, responsible for covering and carrying more ammunition.&1t;/p>

The French's combat mode is actually similar to that of the German 6th Army. The machine gun team suppresses, grenades are eliminated at a designated location, and infantry is responsible for occupying and cleaning. The Germans' approach is that the machine gun team fires flat and annihilates and grenades are attacking in a curve, and the attack power is stronger. However, what causes this problem is not that the French are behind tactics, but because the firepower of the Shaosha machine gun is really a problem. In addition to being unable to shoot, the accuracy is not very good. Facing small targets or single targets, the recommended range of the Shaosha machine gun is 1oo to 2oo meters, while the machine gun range in the German hands is about 4oo meters...&1t;/p>

This kind of squad-style assault tactic is undoubtedly new to the Japanese army. It is completely different from the assault in the Russo-Japanese War that once the attack was charged, the soldiers in the Battalion of the Continental Battalion made a swarm of assaults. Although, not long ago, the French's style of play was also relatively rough.&1t;/p>

The simple pig-spin attack does not have many technical requirements. Now, when the French try to hand over their tactical concepts and combat style to this Japanese army, which does not even have the level of elementary school education, the problem is too big. Although the Japanese have more powerful weapons, their stubbornness still surprises the French. Not to mention anything else, the French don't understand why the Japanese have to install bayonets on all machine guns?&1t;/p>
