After the new equipment arrived, Zhou Wen immediately assigned it to the brothers so that the brothers could adapt to the new equipment as soon as possible. The guards and security teams had been training intensively at the Qinghetan training ground for more than a month. Two machine gun companies, as well as a mountain artillery company and a mortar company
The training was very effective. Since Zhou Wen and the others shipped a large number of bullets and artillery shells from the arsenal, and there was basically an unlimited supply of live ammunition shooting, they made great progress in the accuracy of shelling and machine gun shooting. After replacing with new equipment
, he quickly became familiar with various operations, and achieved very satisfactory results for Zhou Wen in his first live-fire shooting.
Except for machine guns, Zhou Wen was not prepared to change the equipment of the infantry company because it was not necessary. Although Zhou Wen will bring some outstanding infantrymen to participate in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War next year, he does not intend to let them directly fight on the front line.
The task of the infantry is to serve as the guard force of the artillery company and the machine gun company. More than two hundred infantrymen with no combat experience, no matter how well trained they are, are deployed on a battlefield as large as the Songhu Anti-Japanese War. If they are not careful, the entire army will be destroyed.
The fate of being destroyed. This kind of sacrifice is something Zhou Wen cannot accept.
On the battlefield next year, the mercenary group will definitely still be the main force in the battle, but the two artillery companies and the machine gun company will also play a big role as long as they are used properly. It can be said that with strong artillery support, the mercenary group can choose the battle mode
There will be more and more flexibility.
Zhou Wen’s plan is that the mountain artillery company and mortar company should serve as a strong backing for the mercenary group to sneak attack and assault the enemy. And as long as they maintain a certain combat distance and move positions flexibly, their losses and sacrifices can be kept at a controllable level.
scope.
The main mission of the two machine gun companies is actually air defense. This is why Zhou Wen needs to equip the machine gun company with a universal tripod. During this period, the speed of Japanese bombers was generally more than 200 kilometers per hour, and if bombs were to be dropped to maintain a hit rate, the altitude was generally 300 meters.
Even lower. At this time, as long as the machine gunner has certain shooting experience and unified command, the anti-aircraft firepower network composed of dozens of machine guns will be fatal.
The key is that the MG-13 machine gun is much lighter than those Maxim heavy machine guns. It can be moved immediately after being hit, and it is not easily retaliated by enemy aircraft and enemy artillery. It is equivalent to the anti-aircraft guerrillas, taking advantage and running away.
Next time, they will attack you in an unexpected place. This is consistent with the mercenary group's combat philosophy.
The mercenary group has all replaced their shotguns with cannons. In fact, it cannot be said that they are shotguns. The previous equipment level is considered to be the most advanced in the country. The equipment replaced this time actually represents the most advanced level in the world in this era.
All members of the long gun team are equipped with a 6.5 mm caliber G-31 semi-automatic rifle made in Germany and equipped with a suppressor and a 2.5x scope. Some people do not understand why the team members are not equipped with a 4x scope. That is not obvious.
Is it farther and clearer? After many test firings, the team members discovered that the 4x scope is very difficult to aim without the barrel of the gun. And precision shooters must ensure that any shooting posture must hit the target quickly and accurately. It is impossible.
It allows you to calmly set up and shoot in any environment. The 2.5x scope makes it easier to lock on to the target whether shooting from a standing or kneeling position, especially at close range.
This is Zhou Wen's experience from his previous life. This is also the difference between precision shooters and snipers. The sniper's combat method is often to move freely within a certain area of the battlefield, and he needs to find a suitable hunting target. The requirement is to camouflage and lurk.
, long-distance sniping. In order to ensure that one shot is fatal, sufficient preparation and precise aiming are often required. Generally, shooting is done in an environment with a supporting gun. You can use a 4x, 6x or even 8x scope. For example, in later generations
Many sniper rifles are equipped with bipods.
Precision shooters accompany the infantry in action, fighting on the front line, and the distance to the enemy is relatively close. They need to have the ability to kill the enemy with a shot in a hurry. Therefore, precision shooters are equipped with low-magnification scopes to better exert their combat effectiveness.
Of course, these precision shooters in the mercenary group are considered super snipers when compared to ordinary troops. Therefore, when the mercenary group works together as a team, they are precise shooters, but when they are dispersed to hunt freely, they are invincible.
Buttoned sniper.
However, there are a few experts who are equipped with a 4x scope and can hit the target accurately and quickly with various postures with ease. Zhou Wen can do it himself, so only his G-31 rifle in the team is equipped with a 4x scope. Gao Xiaoshan
Neither Hetian Boguang nor Hetian Boguang can be used. It can be used, but the shooting speed is very slow, so it is not cost-effective.
Moreover, once the scope is used smoothly, it is not easy to replace it. It needs to be recalibrated and zeroed. The meaning of zeroing the scope is to coincide with the center point of the differentiation line of the scope and the point of impact at a common shooting distance. Usually
After the firearm is equipped with a scope, it needs to be calibrated so that the point where the aiming point is aimed at this specific distance is the bullet impact point. Targets beyond the zeroing distance need to be further calibrated by estimating the distance and then using the adjustment knob on the scope.
adjustment.
The method of setting the zero initial value can be used as a reference value to modify the adjustment amount or estimate the offset based on the target distance and wind direction. Setting 100 meters as the calibration standard means setting the sight zero value and adjusting the set 100 meters.
The entire calibration process of distance impact point error is called zeroing.
It is this common sense that later generations may think is very simple, but Zhou Wen spent a lot of effort to teach everyone. Therefore, using a sniper gun with a scope is not just a rifle with a scope attached to it, but also
You need to go through a calibration to set the zero value, and you need to be familiar with aiming and shooting at various distances during training. Real masters will generally not use other people's rifles unless it is a last resort.
Each member of the rifle team also has a Somi submachine gun as a secondary gun, which is a powerful weapon for both long-range and close combat. This is also the standard equipment of the generation of sniper Simon Haye who stood out in the 1939 Soviet-Finnish Winter War.
, a Finnish Mosin Nagant rifle and a Somi submachine gun. In less than four months, he shot and killed 542 Soviet soldiers with the Finnish version of the Mosin Nagant rifle, and also
Nearly 200 people were killed with Somi assault rifles.
The most shocking thing is that Simon Heyer did not use a scope. The main reason is that the Soviet-Finnish war was mainly fought in the forest of ice and snow. Due to the limited sight of the terrain, the sniper distance was generally not too far. Also, in the snow
Using a sight in the ground makes it easier to reflect light and be spotted by the enemy. Of course, the most important thing is the superb marksmanship and extraordinary psychological quality of Simon Haye, a former professional hunter.
