At the edge of the icy coniferous forest, the thick canvas tent was extremely warm by the cast iron wood stove. The burnt yellow flames of the coffee pot were constantly licking, and water vapor with a rich coffee aroma was steaming out from the spout.
Under a pine tree not far from the tent, the reindeer had already used its thick hooves to dig through the snow, leisurely eating the remaining lichens on the surface. If you look further away, you can see the frozen lake facing the tent.
, there was a man wielding a sapper shovel and working hard to build a snowman.
These snowmen, regularly distributed a hundred meters apart, are each about one meter tall, with pine branches carefully planted on both sides. They even wear a green hat woven with pine needles on their heads.
Farther away, at the other end of the lake, about two kilometers away from the tent, a pine tree with its back against the foot of the mountain and as thick as a thigh has had its excess branches cut off, and a particularly conspicuous stripe has been wrapped around the trunk.
Big red scarf.
After building the last snowman, Wei Ran stood up straight and took a breath, then stepped on the skis stuck on the side and slowly returned to the edge of the tent.
Throwing a few pieces of firewood into the cast-iron stove that he had chopped when he first arrived here yesterday, Wei Ran poured himself a large cup of scalding coffee and slowly drank it. He squinted at the snowmen outside the tent and waited patiently.
Allow your body to recover from the recent physical activity.
After a long time, when the coffee in the cup bottomed out, Wei Ran stood up and walked outside the tent, taking out the anti-tank weapon with a gun carriage from the metal book.
With a "clang" of his feet, he pushed the unfolded frame into the solid snow. Wei Ran turned around and took out a bearskin blanket from the tent, folded it up to serve as a cushion, and sat firmly on it.
The probe glanced at the muzzle brake to make sure it matched the magazine filled with high-explosive ammunition on the gun body. He then shook the crank on the right side of the gun body hard, and with a soft "click" sound, the weapon fired.
The director turned the crank three more times to return to its original position and locked it, then pulled the gun release button and pushed a high-explosive bomb into the chamber with a crisp click.
Unlike most firearms today, the magazine of this anti-tank gun is on the left side of the gun body. The mechanical sights and optical sights are also on the left side of the gun body. The entire weapon is biased towards a bullpup design, so
Although it is not uncomfortable to use, it is quite uncomfortable for him.
He stretched out his hand and turned the adjusting wheel in the middle of the gun carriage. The huge muzzle was slowly raised to a height where Wei Ran didn't have to bend down, and then it was aimed at the cuckold snowman closest to him, two hundred meters away.
He tried pulling the trigger with one finger, but the huge force made him decisively add another finger.
"boom!"
After a dull gunshot, the snowman that the mechanical sight was pointed at, together with the one-meter-long log buried inside the snowman's body, exploded under the violent bombardment of high-explosive bombs, causing wood chips and shock waves to rise.
The snowflakes are splashing, which is particularly beautiful.
Compared with the damage caused by this gun, Wei Ran, as a shooter, was more and more satisfied with the gun carriage attached to this anti-tank gun.
Before being sent back by the metal book, he had the opportunity to shoot at the half-track armored vehicle. The astonishing recoil did not cause severe pain in his shoulders, but it also pushed him backwards on the snow.
A distance of more than ten centimeters.
But now with this gun truck, most of the power is transmitted to the ground by the two large frames that poke into the snow. In the end, the recoil he can feel is stronger than a shotgun that fires single-ended bullets.
Children are limited.
Without the fear of recoil, Wei Ran became completely interested, extending the shooting distance little by little, happily destroying the snowmen he had spent the whole day building.
After this test, Weiran was surprised to find that the accuracy of this anti-tank gun was surprisingly good. Using only a mechanical sight, it could hit anywhere within a range of 300 meters, but thanks to the high-explosive bomb,
The terrifying range of damage meant that no snowman could stand intact.
Three hundred meters away, the mechanical sight alone was useless. The crosshair was already bigger than a snowman. This was not because the gun was inaccurate, but because manpower could not reach it.
Fortunately, this anti-tank also comes with an optical sight. Although the magnification is only a pitiful 2.5 times, the field of view is still barely adequate. At least it can extend the precise shooting distance to six to seven hundred meters without any damage.
question.
This distance was completely sufficient for most battlefields during World War II, and was even somewhat excessive for a weapon whose main task was anti-tank.
However, Weiran does not intend to waste the huge power of this weapon. Although relying on it to damage the mainstream tanks on the Soviet-German battlefield at a distance of six to seven hundred meters is basically nonsense, even if it is farther away, as long as the shot is accurate, at least
It is absolutely enough to kill and injure living targets.
"I'll have to find a way to find a way when I get back and see if I can change to a scope with a higher magnification."
Wei Ran kept this incident in mind, then stood up and spread the bearskin blanket under his buttocks on the snow. He also removed the anti-tank gun from the gun carriage and replaced it with a new magazine. He continued to adapt to relying solely on the gun.
Shoot with the bipod on your body.
After all, although the artillery cart is good, it cannot be used on all terrains. In addition, the anti-tank gun itself is not small. It cannot be used in narrow environments such as small wooden boats. At that time, it cannot be returned.
Mount the gun carriage?
On the other hand, although the recoil force was greater because of not using the gun carriage, because there was an extendable support rod at the butt of the gun, the shooting accuracy actually improved. And the most powerful proof is that he only used four rounds.
The bullet, with the help of the not very useful scope, had great luck and hit a cuckold snowman who was a full 800 meters away from him.
At this time, Wei Ran no longer cared about the recoil. He twisted the support rod at the butt of the gun to lower it, indirectly raised the muzzle, and aimed the sight in the scope at a snowman one kilometer away to drive away.
"boom!"
There was another dull gunshot that sounded far away, and about two seconds later, a cloud of snowflakes exploded on the mountain opposite the lake, a full two kilometers away from him. After waiting for a few seconds, the guard who had already raised his telescope exploded.
Only then did Ran hear an explosion blown by the wind.
Rubbing his sore shoulders from the continuous shooting, Wei Ran put away the telescope and lay down again, and pulled the trigger again at the selected target.
In this test shot, his ultimate goal was to hit the pine tree wrapped in a red scarf two kilometers away, but it was obvious that this was not an easy task.
After intermittently emptying three magazines with a total of 30 rounds of ammunition, Wei Ran had to temporarily stop what he was doing. He didn't want his shoulders to be so painful that he couldn't sleep at night.
Climbing up from the soft bearskin blanket, Wei Ran suddenly thought before picking up the anti-tank gun and preparing to reload it on the gun carriage. Could the two of them be stored separately in a metal book? If so, it would undoubtedly be useful for them.
Save a lot of trouble for future use.
Thinking of this, his mind moved, and the main body of the anti-tank gun he had just picked up disappeared instantly, and he himself sat on the thick snow due to the imbalance of his center of gravity.
Struggling to get up, Wei Ran quickly put his hand on the artillery truck, and then watched the artillery truck suddenly and completely disappear from his eyes.
"This is really fun!"
Wei Ran became interested, and tried again and again to summon the gun carriage or anti-tank gun, or summon them together, and finally figured out the rules.
If these two things are separated, you can take out any one at will, but if you take them out together, they will just be randomly piled together, and it is easy to hit your feet. If you combine them together, they can only appear together.
.Other than that, the only exception is the two ammunition boxes on the gun carriage. No matter how they are combined, they can be taken out separately.
After figuring out how to use it, Wei Ran picked up the bullet casings he had just used and put them all into the food box. Then he slid on his skis to the messy lake and carefully observed the damage effects. Finally, he picked up a few inlaid bullets.
The broken pieces of wood returned to the tent steaming with heat with satisfaction.
Throwing the collected wood into the cast-iron stove, Wei Ran put the pot of stewed venison leftover from yesterday's meal back on the stove to heat, and grilled a few big pieces of pork belly on the way.
Taking advantage of this little gap before eating, he took out the guqin from the metal book and strummed the strings to continue practicing the abandoned Xian Weng Cao. At the same time, he began to think about the arrangements for the next few days in his mind.
Since the last course ended, nearly a week has passed since I went back and forth to Germany plus the delays in between. It is undoubtedly too late to return to China now. I want to go to Finland to see the address and the string provided in the metal book.
The detailed coordinates seemed a bit hasty, and he didn't want to find out the answer so quickly.
After all, those who stood out first died first, and now that the identity they have worked so hard to disguise is just right, if they are too pushy, the only one who will be unlucky in the end will definitely be themselves.
After thinking about it, Weiran finally decided to go back to Volgograd after firing the remaining bullets. Firstly, to replenish some ammunition. Secondly, maybe he could ask Mr. Alexander to see if he could
I cannot help you process a suitable base for the scope.
Having made up his mind, Wei Ran brought down the boiling stainless steel pot and filled his stomach by eating the fragrant big Leba. After taking a short rest, he immediately picked up the engineer shovel stuck at the door of the tent.
Continue to build a snowman on the ice.
The reason why he used the snowman as a target was naturally to leave as little traces of the anti-tank gun as possible. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to work so hard to bring back the hit wood from the lake and burn it as firewood.
I was busy from dawn to dusk, and when the gorgeous aurora appeared above my head, I piled up a large snowman's fire again. Then I returned to the warm tent out of breath, filled up the fuel for the wood stove, and immediately got into the thick bearskin blanket.
