In an open space behind the position of the 103rd Division, Colonel Cownings was standing in the center of an open space. His height of more than two meters made him stand out among the soldiers. Even the burly Liu Weiming beside him seemed
A little shorter. At this time, Colonel Cornings was holding a rifle in his hand and lecturing the hundreds of soldiers surrounding him.
"In order to hit the enemy, you need an accurate sniper rifle. The sniper rifles used by snipers during World War I included the Springfield Zero-3, Mauser 98, Lee Enfield, and Mosin Nagan sniper rifles. They are still used today.
There are no changes, and what you are holding in your hands is one of the Springfield sniper rifles. This gun was produced by the Springfield Arsenal in the United States and has nothing to do with Japan. It is definitely an original American product."
"Hahaha"
The soldiers all laughed when they said this. When they first got the Springfield sniper rifle, many soldiers were fooled by the name of the gun and thought it was a Japanese product, so many people did not want to use it. Now that I think about it,
It's really a bit embarrassing.
"Okay, kids, I heard that you suffered a loss in the game against the Slavs a few days ago, right?" Colonel Cornings asked loudly, squinting at the sharpshooters below.
Seeing the ashamed soldiers on the field, Colonel Cornings smiled slightly, "Children, it is not shameful to lose, but it is the most shameful if you cannot afford to lose. Our first lesson today is to understand what a sniper is.
.”
After saying that, Colonel Cornings jumped on a shell box and said: "Lonely and long, these five words are a simple and vivid summary of the sniper. For the sniper, every minute and second of silent waiting is...
They are all full of thrilling atmosphere. This strong contrast between long and short, lonely and intense, is no longer something that can be accomplished with sufficient physical and technical preparation. This requires the sniper's psychological quality to be beyond ordinary people, so my children
, are you ready to start your lonely sniper career?"
While Colonel Cornings was conducting short-term training for the sharpshooters on the front line, the Soviet snipers were not idle either.
At four o'clock in the morning this morning, Vasily and several other snipers quietly moved to a sniper spot that had been prepared on their own position, and quietly began their free patrol and hunting career.
The level shown by the Chinese army on the opposite side these days has certainly won some respect from the Soviet snipers, but it is also followed by waves of contempt. The opponent's sniper level is still at the level of a sharpshooter.
They don't know the basic principles of the place. Some of them don't even have a disguised gun, they just lie down on the obvious commanding heights and shoot. They don't even understand the principle of concealing themselves first and then attacking the enemy.
Therefore, the Soviet army has gained a lot these days. Dozens of Chinese soldiers fall under their guns every day. Of course, there are also the sharpshooters of the Chinese army whose sniper skills are exactly opposite to their courage.
Vasily quietly came to a foxhole he had built yesterday with dead leaves and branches. The ventilation inside was very good and he could stay there for a whole day. Vasily also prepared three days of food and water, as long as needed.
He could stay here for several days at any time.
After entering the foxhole, Vasily began to get busy. Half an hour later, he reinforced the sniper point again, and then he sat down against the earth wall with his beloved Mosingana sniper rifle in his arms.
He came down and planned to take a rest. Looking at the place more than 200 meters away from him on the left, Vasily squinted his eyes and thought, this Ivan may have to kill a few more of the opponent's medical soldiers today. What a troublesome thing.
Where is the guy.
Vasily, who was falling asleep with his gun in his arms, was suddenly awakened by a whistling sound. He looked up suddenly and saw that the originally gray sky was reddened by flames that cut through the sky. Only bright red streaks were seen.
The flames were rushing towards his own position. Vasily screamed secretly, and quickly went into a single-person anti-gun hole dug by him. After a few seconds, there were bursts of explosions right next to Vasily.
There was a sound on the side of the battlefield.
It turned out that Zeng Li'an had some doubts about the power of the rocket launcher that Liu Weiming had boasted about, so he came here to conduct a test launch this morning.
It was just dawn, and the divisional artillery of the 103rd Division drove the 24 heavy rain rocket launchers that had just arrived at the front line to a place nine kilometers away from the Soviet position. Following the order of the artillery regiment commander, there was a roar
In the sound, countless artillery shells with hot and dazzling flames rushed towards the Soviet positions, carrying the energy of death. The rockets with tail flames pierced the sky that was not yet bright, and reflected the gray sky red.
Nearly a thousand artillery shells fell on the Soviet defense line, and the explosive power of the 130-mm-caliber rockets was astonishing. Zeng Li'an, who was watching the effects of the shelling at the command post, saw that the Soviet position was instantly destroyed by countless groups.
Covered in flames, sand and rocks flew for a while, the bunker collapsed, the machine gun position was destroyed, and the barbed wire fence was blown away without a trace. The anti-gun cave was blown down, and countless Soviet soldiers were crushed inside. The tragic situation of the Soviet army was obvious to the commander.
Zeng Li'an was overjoyed.
"Yes, just stab them like this. Let Maozi see how powerful our rocket launchers are. Just keep firing like this and kill them."
"Sir Zeng, we don't have many rocket launcher shells left. These were all brought back by yesterday's plane. The shells are very rare and cannot withstand several volleys." The combat staff on the side saw Zeng Liren so excited. Although
Reluctantly, but had to tell this cruel fact.
The combat staff officer's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Zeng Li'an's heart. Yes, although this rocket launcher is good, it consumes too much ammunition. A unit of only one regiment fired nearly a thousand rounds of artillery shells in less than twenty seconds.
, if it were to be used on a large scale, my god, Zeng Li'an shuddered at the thought of this. It seems that this rocket launcher will probably have to wait until the railway is built before it can be used on a large scale.
Zeng Li'an sighed, looked at the enemy troops running around on the Soviet position in the distance, spat out and said bitterly: "These bastards are taking advantage."
After the rocket launcher fired a round of volleys, the Soviet position opposite the 103rd Division exploded with excitement. The volley just now blew up seven more fortifications and bunkers that the Soviet army had just repaired these days.
Many Soviet soldiers who had not yet woken up had seen God in their sleep.
The bombing came and went faster. After a salvo, the Chinese artillery on the opposite side disappeared in a flash. The Soviet artillery couldn't find a place to counterattack, and the Soviet artillery was so angry that it was awakened by the artillery fire.
The commander gritted his teeth.
About ten minutes after the bombardment, when Vasily struggled to climb out of the almost-collapsed individual bomb-proof hole, what he saw in front of him almost made him unbelievable. In less than a minute, the bombardment destroyed the enemy.
Our own position caused so much damage. The originally neat bunkers and fortifications on our own position were blown to pieces. Countless Soviet soldiers lay on the position groaning in pain. Looking at everything in front of him, Vasily closed his eyes in pain.
eyes
There was another person who was as miserable as Vasily, and he was General Zhukov in the Soviet Army Headquarters.
"Comrade Vusijevich, have our casualty statistics come out?"
"Comrade Zhukov, the casualty results have come out. Our army suffered more than 2,600 casualties in this shelling, and 46 heavy machine guns were lost and 139 light machine guns were lost."
"That's enough." Zhukov waved his hand in disgust, stopping Lieutenant General Musijevich's words.
We started to counterattack. There was a night bombing a few days ago, and today there was an early morning shelling."
Lieutenant General Vusejevich shrugged helplessly, "There is no way, this is war. We are using all means to kill our opponents to win the war."
Zhukov gritted his teeth and asked, "How are our brave boys doing?"
Of course, Lieutenant General Vusejevich knew who Zhukov was asking, and he nodded, "Fortunately, the shelling this morning only killed four of them, and the other fifty or so people are fine."
"That's good." Zhukov nodded and then said fiercely through his teeth: "Tell these boys that we must severely attack these hateful invaders. Our brave Soviet army will not be attacked by these
Intimidated by fear and threats.”
"I will definitely tell them that these hateful invaders will be dealt a severe blow." Lieutenant General Vusejevich saluted Zhukov and went out.
In the next few days, the Soviet snipers became even more frantic in sniping at the soldiers and officers on the Chinese positions. Under the officers' strict orders and revengeful mentality, their sniping went to the point of madness, and any movement was
All people or objects are within their sniping range.
Facing the crazy counterattack of the Soviet army, the Chinese army snipers who were trained by Colonel Cornings and conducted actual combat exercises were not afraid. They made progress while learning and counterattacking. Actual combat is the best teacher, and no one dares to take it lightly.
Because the consequence of carelessness is irresponsibility for one's own life.
Therefore, these Chinese snipers have made rapid progress. Under the guidance of Colonel Cornings, they know the differences, advantages and disadvantages of single snipers and double snipers, and also learned how to arrange security points, dig and select sniper points, etc.
Sniper essentials.
Speaking of the Germans, we have to praise them for one good advantage, that is, they never hide their secrets when imparting knowledge. They always teach everything they have. As long as they agree to teach you, they will give you what they know.
I will teach you all the knowledge I know, and I will never leave everything behind like some people do.
Colonel Cornings said that only in this way will our technology get better and better, otherwise our science and knowledge will not progress.
