In a quiet valley south of Taiyuan City, the morning breeze blows gently, and the sunlight blooming in the east sparsely falls on the ground through the tall and simple leaves of pines and cypresses, turning the mountainous area into a picture of light and green.
.A crystal clear trickling stream divides the valley into east and west halves.
At this time, in the pine forest on the hillside to the west, a gun barrel slowly protruded from a dense bush. The barrel was tightly wrapped in a layer of green cloth and blended with the leaves of the bush.
Under the sunlight, no metallic luster appeared, just like a branch falling in the bush. Only the black muzzle exuded a cold and violent murderous aura.
If you stand nearby and look in along the barrel of the gun, you will find a man covered from head to toe in a colorful cloak, lying in the grass, searching carefully with a scope mounted on the gun body.
It seemed as if every tree and bush on the opposite hillside 300 meters away was regarded as a shooting target. Every less than a minute, it stopped searching and continued to lurk carefully for a period of time, and then started a new round.
action.
At this time, there was a faint thunder-like roar in the distance. The birds in the woods were frightened and spread their wings. However, after they circled in the sky and observed for a long time, they probably found that there was no danger, just one by one.
We returned to the tree again, but various crisp bird songs began to appear in the woods, as if to remind each other: brothers and sisters, we all have a lot of eyes, if anything goes wrong, we will slip away - no - fly away.
The gunman in the bush ignored the sound of gunfire in the distance and remained motionless, patiently searching or lurking. Suddenly, a rapid sound of wind flew over his head, and a bullet hit a person in front of him.
There was a big tree, and the thick trunk of a man shook slightly, and a few leaves fell from his head. A slight sigh came from his mouth, and he sat up slowly. He turned out to be a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
He was wearing a steel helmet covered with the same camouflage fabric. The helmet was covered with leaves and dead branches, making it look like a fluffy weed. I saw him methodically packing up the water bottle around him and the cloak on his body. Only his eyes
There was a bit of frustration in it.
Not long after, a man also wearing a camouflage cloak and a camouflage steel helmet appeared in front of him, trotting with a gun on his back. "Xiaoping, this time is actually pretty good. It took me two full hours to find you."
"Then you discovered it. Senior brother, why do you think I can't win even once?" It was Zhang Xiaoping who spoke. The only one in the mercenary group who could defeat him again and again was his senior brother Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen sat down on the ground next to Zhang Xiaoping. Looking at his slightly depressed expression, he couldn't help but laugh. He raised his hand and rubbed his head and said, "Senior Brother, I took a trick this time. In fact, you are already well concealed.
This time, it was not under a tree or behind an obstacle. It was just such a small bush. I didn’t expect it. If your sight hadn’t reflected the light and caught it, you might have won today.
Yes. You can no longer lose to anyone in terms of disguise. What you lose today is experience."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaoping's dim eyes suddenly brightened up. After thinking for a while, he looked at the surrounding terrain and sky, and suddenly realized: "Senior brother, why did you choose the east side? It turns out that you are just waiting for the sun to come over."
, my scope will reflect when it is hit by the sun. I would say that this place is not conspicuous at all. There are probably hundreds of bushes like this on the hillside. Even if I get close and look for them one by one, they will not be there.
I will definitely be spotted. But I wouldn’t have thought that the sight would reflect light.”
Zhou Wen said with a smile: "I can tell you this experience when you use the scope for the first time, but I still feel that only if you experience it yourself can you leave a deep memory and not make the same mistake again in the future.
It’s not your fault, it’s your first time using a scope, so as long as you notice it in the future, you won’t be easily discovered again.”
"Well, I understand. As long as you don't let the sun shine directly on the mirror, it won't reflect. There are many ways to do this. Senior brother, you won't be so easy to win next time."
Zhou Wen looked at this junior brother with relief, he was really a smart kid, he knew everything.
Then he took off the rifle on his back, and saw that the rifle was actually longer than the rifle in Zhang Xiaoping's hand. The main reason was that the muzzle was covered with a long cylinder, and the gun was also equipped with a scope. Zhou Wen
He was fiddling with the gun and sighed: "Mauser Company is such a good friend. The performance of this gun can be said to have exceeded my design requirements. The saying that products made in Germany must be high-quality products is really not an exaggeration. I say Xiaoping,
Can you roughly tell the direction of the shot I took just now?"
Zhang Xiaoping thought for a while and said: "Unless I stand up and look at the gun hole, it's really difficult to judge because the distance is too far. I can't hear any gunfire from my side."
Zhou Wen said: "This is the great thing about this gun. After installing the suppressor, it does not affect the accuracy at all. You can hit anywhere within 500 meters, and you can't hear any gunfire at all 100 meters away.
In the future, the shooting range of the members of the long gun team will be very large. I think they will basically not miss within 500 meters. You can also bring one in the future and use the two guns interchangeably."
Zhang Xiaoping shook his head and said: "Forget it, I still use this sniper rifle. I am completely accustomed to the ballistics and shooting method of this gun. Besides, I can hit a target of 700 meters with a six-fold scope, and I can still hit a target within 500 meters."
Give it to Brother Shanzi and the others. But I can bring one of that Somi submachine gun. Brother, that gun is really good. If I use that Magnum bullet to hit a target within 300 meters, I am sure that every short shot can hit it.
, in special situations, I can shoot quickly and accurately at close range."
It turns out that the time has now arrived in early September 1931. Zhou Wen entrusted Mandel to purchase a large amount of equipment in Germany, as well as 200 G-31 semi-automatic rifles and 10 PzB-31 anti-tanks specially produced by Mauser Company to pay Zhou Wen's patent fees.
guns; 30 German Lu-Ge P08 artillery pistols; 10 Mauser G-98 standard sniper rifles; and 100 Suomi submachine guns and 50 additional MG-13 machine guns that Zhou Wen urgently purchased in August.
It was all shipped from Shanghai to Taiyuan at the beginning of the month, and together with the supporting ammunition and accessories, it filled two trains.
As the saying goes, good things come in pairs. By mid-August, the French S.E.L. infantry gun and French 81mm Brandt MLE 27 mortar purchased by Henry from France also arrived. Now Zhou Wen's equipment is complete. Calculate the time and distance.
There are still five months left in January next year. Zhou Wen led the mercenary group and all affiliated troops to immediately engage in all-weather training. Today, Zhou Wen and Zhang Xiaoping used new guns for sniper training.
