Chapter 312 Teaching the Tao
On an open space behind the 103rd Division's position, Colonel Colin Connings stood in the center of a vacant land. His figure of more than two meters made him stand out among the soldiers. Even the burly Liu Weiming looked a little shorter beside him. At this time, Colonel Colin Connings was holding a rifle in his hand and talking to the hundreds of soldiers surrounding him.
"To hit the enemy, you need an accurate sniper rifle. During World War I, the sniper rifle used by snipers included the Springfield Type 3, Mauser Ninety Eight, Li Enfield, and Mosinner sniper rifle, and it has not changed yet, and what you are holding is the Springfield Type sniper rifle. 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"
Speaking of this, the soldiers laughed. When they first got the Springfield sniper rifle, many soldiers were blinded by the name of the gun and thought it was Japanese goods, so many people didn't want to use it. Now they think about it, they are really a little ashamed.
"Okay, kids, I heard you suffered a loss in the match against the Slavs a few days ago, right?" Colonel Cónings asked loudly at the sharpshooters below.
Seeing the shameful soldier on the field, Colonel Cónings smiled slightly, "Children, it's not embarrassing to lose, but if you can't afford to lose, that's the most embarrassing. Today's first lesson is to figure out what a sniper is."
After saying that, Colonel Cónings jumped onto a cannon box and said, "Lonely and long, these five words are a simple and vivid summary of the sniper. For snipers, every minute and second of silent waiting is full of a thrilling atmosphere. This strong contrast between long and short, loneliness and intense is no longer achievable for full preparation of physiology and technology. This requires that the psychological quality of the sniper is beyond ordinary people, so my children, are you ready to start a lonely sniper career?"
Just as Colonel Kaunnings was conducting short-term training for sharpshooters on the front line, the Soviet snipers were not idle either.
At 4:00 this morning, Vasily and several other snipers quietly moved to a sniper site that had been prepared on their positions, and quietly began their career of free patrol and hunting.
The level shown by the Chinese army opposite these days has certainly won a trace of respect from the Soviet snipers, but the contempt followed. The opponent's sniper level is still at the level of a sharpshooter. He doesn't even know the basic principle of shooting a shot and changing places. Some people even lie on the obvious commanding heights without even disguising their guns, and they don't even understand the principle of hiding themselves first and then hitting the enemy.
Therefore, the Soviet army has gained a lot these days, and dozens of Chinese soldiers fell under their guns every day. Of course, there are also sharpshooters of the Chinese army whose sniper level and their courage are exactly the same.
Vasily quietly came to a fox pit he built with dead leaves and branches yesterday. The breathable surname inside was easy to stay for a day, and Vasily also prepared three days of food and water. He could stay here for several days at any time as long as he needed it.
When he entered the fox pit, Vasily began to get busy. After half an hour, he reinforcing the sniper point, then he held his beloved Mosinggana sniper rifle and sat down on the earth wall. Looking at the place more than 200 meters away from him on the left, Vasily narrowed his eyes and thought, Ivan might have to kill several other medical soldiers today, I was such a troublesome guy.
Vasily, who was sleeping in a daze with his gun in his arms, was suddenly awakened by a whistling sound. He suddenly looked up and saw that the originally gray sky was reflected by flames that had cut through the sky. He saw bright red flames rushing towards his position. Vasily screamed in secret that he was not good, so he quickly drilled into a single-person defense cannon hole he dug out beside him. After a few seconds, bursts of explosions rang out on Vasily's position.
It turned out that Zeng Li'an was somewhat suspicious of the power of the rocket launcher that was so amazing that Liu Weiming boasted, and came to test the fire this morning.
As the sky was dawn, the artillery of the 103rd Division drove the twenty-four heavy rain rocket launchers that had just arrived on the front line to a place nine kilometers away from the Soviet position. With the command of the artillery regiment commander, countless shells with hot and dazzling flames rushed towards the Soviet position with the energy of death. The rockets with tail flames cut through the sky that had not yet been bright, reflecting the gray sky red.
Nearly a thousand shells fell on the Soviet defense line, and the explosion power of the 130 mm rocket was amazing. Zeng Li'an, who was watching the artillery effect at the command center, saw that the Soviet position was instantly covered by countless flames. For a moment, sand and stones flew away, bunkers collapsed, machine gun positions were destroyed, and barbed wire was blown away without a trace. The anti-aircraft artillery hole was blown down, and countless Soviet soldiers were overwhelmed inside. The Soviet army's tragic situation made Zeng Li'an in the command post look happy.
"Yes, it's just that, let the Russians see how powerful our rocket launchers are. Just keep firing them and kill them."
"Sir Zeng, our rocket artillery shells are not many. These are all transported back through yesterday's plane. The shells are very rare and cannot withstand several volleys." The combat staff on the side were so excited when they saw Zeng Liren so excited, although they were reluctant, they had to tell this cruel fact.
The words of the combat staff were like a basin of cold water pouring into Zeng Li'an's heart. Yes, although this rocket launcher is good, it only costs too much ammunition. Only one regiment has launched nearly a thousand shells in less than twenty seconds. If it is used on a large scale, God, Zeng Li'an shivered when he thought of this. It seems that this rocket launcher may have to wait until the railway is completed before it can be used on a large scale.
Zeng Li'an sighed and looked at the enemy troops running around the Soviet position in the distance, spitting out saliva and said angrily: "It's a bargain."
When the rocket launcher fired a round of volleys, the Soviet army's position opposite the 103rd Division was in chaos. The volleys just now exploded the fortifications and bunker groups that the Soviet army had just repaired these days. Many Soviet soldiers who had not yet woken up also met God in a confused way in their sleep.
The bombing came quickly and went faster. After a round of volleys, the artillery of the Chinese army opposite ran away and disappeared. The Soviet artillery could not find a place to fight back. The Soviet commander, who was so angry that he was awakened by the artillery fire, bit his teeth.
About ten minutes after the shelling, when Vasily struggled to climb out of the individual gun hole that was almost destroyed, he almost couldn't believe what he saw. It was just that the shelling in less than a minute caused such great damage to his position. The originally neat bunkers and fortifications on his position were blown up. Countless Soviet soldiers lay on the position and groaned and painful. Looking at everything in front of him, Vasily closed his eyes in pain.
Another person who was suffering like Vasily was General Zhukov in the Soviet Army Command.
"Comrade Vusjevich, have our casualties statistics come out?"
"Comrade Zhukov, the casualties have come out. This time, the shelling of our army has more than 2,600 casualties, and the heavy machine guns have been lost by 46 light machine guns."
"Enough, Zhukov waved his hand in annoyance and stopped Lieutenant General Vosjevic's words." He said angrily: "It seems that these Chinese people are really unwilling to suffer losses. We just started the campaign to fire cold guns, and they started to fight back. A few days ago, there was a night bombing, and today there was another early morning shelling."
Lieutenant General Vusjevic shrugged helplessly, "There is no way, this is war. We are all using all means to kill our opponents to win the battle."
Zhukov gritted his teeth and asked again, "How are our brave boys?"
Lieutenant General Vusjevic knew who Zhukov was asking, and he nodded, "Fortunately, the shelling this morning only killed four people, and the other fifty people were fine."
"That's good," Zhukov nodded and then said fiercely from his teeth: "Tell these young men that we must attack these abominable invaders. Our brave Soviet army will not be scared by these fears and threats."
"I will definitely tell them to attack these abominable invaders." Lieutenant General Vusjevic saluted Zhukov and went out.
In the next few days, the Soviet snipers sniped the soldiers and officers on the Chinese positions even more crazily. With the officers' strict orders and revenge mentality, their sniping was simply crazy, and any moving person or thing was within their sniping range.
Faced with the Soviet army's crazy counterattack, the Chinese army snipers who were trained while practicing practical combat were not afraid. They learned while counterattacking while making progress. Practical combat is the best teachers, and no one dared to take it lightly, because the consequence of carelessness is irresponsibility for their own lives.
Therefore, these Chinese snipers made rapid progress. Under the guidance of Colonel Kaunnings, they learned the differences and advantages and disadvantages of single sniper and double sniper, and also learned to arrange police points, excavate and select sniper points, and other sniper key points.
When it comes to Germans, we have to praise them for having a good advantage, that is, they never hide their own personalities when imparting knowledge, and always teach them all. As long as they promise to teach you, they will impart all the knowledge they know to you, and will never keep anything like some people do.
Colonel Counnings said that only in this way our technology will get better and better, otherwise our science and knowledge will not be able to improve.
