The isolation period is over.
Training would continue, but as Gao Yuan arrived at the training field today, he noticed something different from before.
There were many heavy machine guns laid out on the field.
Zhang Zhe turned his head, winking and grinning as he said, "What did I tell you? Look, they're letting us use machine guns now."
There were a total of five heavy machine guns, one for each of the five platoons to use for training.
Indeed, as Gao Yuan and his comrades were brought in front of the three heavy machine guns lined up together, a commanding officer spoke loudly, "First platoon, gather around me. Today we'll discuss how to operate heavy machine guns. The Type 85 anti-aircraft machine gun in front of you weighs 41.5 kilograms, with the gun body weighing 18.6 kilograms, and the mount 17.9 kilograms, caliber 12.7 millimeters."
Seeing the machine gun they were about to learn to use, the volunteers understood their role would be defense rather than offense.
