Chapter 14 Sniper Rifle

Let the soldiers enter the gangster choose their own weapons, just like letting the robbers walk into a cave full of treasures and take whatever they want... My soldiers under me feel like this after being put into the gangster, not to mention that this is not an ordinary arsenal, and this is still a Japanese arsenal that is several levels better than the equipment we used before!

Some people may say that we are Chinese and should not use Japanese things. I have even watched some movies in modern times in order to describe the patriotism of some Chinese soldiers, and when my subordinates handed over the 38th bulbs, they said: "I hate using Japanese things the most when changing guns!"[]

I don’t know what to say when I saw this clip, because I didn’t realize that there was anything wrong with using the Japanese gun! Even in the eyes of revolutionary ancestors... being able to use the Japanese gun means that I have gone to the battlefield to kill the Japanese and snatched the gun from them and attacked the Japanese. That would only be a kind of glory and honor for the real warriors!

Of course, I think the directors or actors who made those movies have never been on the real battlefield, so in order to express a kind of whining patriotism, I regard this honor exchanged for blood and life as a shame.

The fact is just like what I saw in front of me. The soldiers had no intention of "hate" at all. Instead, they grabbed the brand new machine gun and the mortar couldn't let go. Even the platoon leader Chi, who had resisted because he was worried about not getting used to it, was holding a Type 96 machine gun and laughing...

Seeing that the soldiers were searching for heavy weapons such as machine guns or mortars in the arsenal, I ordered the soldiers: "Everyone has them. Each squad is only allowed to equip one machine gun, five grenade cans, and one mortar can be equipped in each row! I will choose the rest of them for 38 large covers!"

"What?" The soldiers were stunned when they heard this. Chen Dali asked without thinking, "Company Commander, what are you doing? I finally gave us a chance to come in and choose by ourselves. Why are you still..."

"That's what the company commander!" Li Wenxi said with some difficulty, "Besides, we can't use up the weapons in the arsenal, why are you saving up?"

"You don't understand this!" The old squad leader picked out a 38-large cover from the wooden box and fiddled with it for a few times, and said without any haste: "The company commander's order is right! Brothers... This war is not just about guns, but there must be bullets! Don't look at the machine guns that they can't fight, but which one is not a bullet-eating machine? Even if we have this arsenal, we can't use up bullets, but if everyone brings a machine gun to fire... the bullets are too busy! We are still like this next to the arsenal. What if we go to a farther place to fight? If there is no bullet, the machine gun is just a fire stick!"

"Oh!" After hearing this, the soldiers realized it, so they had no objection and turned to boxes with rifles to choose.

The old squad leader is right. The soldiers can choose guns based on their own preferences. However, as a company commander, I have to consider the overall combat effectiveness of the company. No matter when fighting, it is inseparable from logistics supplies, especially when using Japanese equipment, this point needs to be considered.

The reason is very simple. At present, the national army will not produce the bullets needed for the 38th large cover, which makes the bullets supplied by the national army basically have no bullets of the 38th large cover. In other words, if Japanese equipment is equipped, once the bullets are exhausted, they will be seized by the Japanese... This is hard to imagine for the national army that fled all the way. This is why our army has never dared to use them even though it seized a large amount of Japanese equipment during the Battle of Pingjin.

Of course, if you capture an arsenal like this, it would be a different matter.

However, even if we have this arsenal... can we all use machine guns? This is obviously ridiculous, because I know very well that we cannot always guard this arsenal. How many bullets can we carry when we embark on the road of marching? Even if each manpower is extremely powerful, carry a machine gun and carry a box of ammunition, then it will disappear on the battlefield after a few "wagh"...

Therefore, when the logistics supply cannot keep up, rifles will always be the main force of the army. For example, if all members are equipped with machine guns on the battlefield, they may only appear in the Piaotianyi Network. It is precisely because of these reasons that the national army usually has a platoon and is equipped with a machine gun. Some are even less. Now we can get a machine gun for each squad. It is almost up to the limit. As for the grenade launcher, I just saw that it was not heavy. The total gun is only about five kilograms and is less than half a meter long, which is very convenient to carry. In addition, it can directly fire Japanese grenades... So don't think about it, it's right to bring more. I even considered whether to bring a grenade launcher without a mortar, but if this is the case, what if the Japanese came to a tank with thicker armor, wouldn't we wait to die?

"Company Commander!" The monkey picked up a brand new 38th Gai and came to me excitedly and said, "Why don't you choose a suitable gun?"

"Well, I'll pick it later!" I replied casually.

Actually, I really feel a little reluctant to let go of the Zhongzheng in my hand because I know very well that although the range of Zhongzheng is not as good as the 38th major cover, its lethality is much greater than that of the 38th major cover. The reason is that the Japanese guns are too straight and have strong penetration. They often shoot two holes in front and back with one shot. If they fail to hit the vital point, they are generally fine. On the battlefield, there have been even Chinese soldiers who are shot several times and only need to be bandaged to continue fighting.

However, Zhongzheng is different. After the bullet enters the human body, it will roll in the body... Then it either stays in the body or becomes a hole as big as a fist when it comes out, so often it is impossible to continue fighting even if it is not dead.

As for the pistol, the Japanese turtle box is famous for its high failure rate and poor penetration (the turtle box cannot even penetrate the door panels with a slightly harder door panel). The "Zhilai" on my waist is in the sky and underground. In addition, as the company commander, I cannot hold a machine gun or something... So I almost didn't even have the interest to walk on.

However, after hesitating, I finally walked in. A large part of the reason was that I didn't want to go into Baoshan and return empty-handed. Of course, I don't take those ordinary rifles, machine guns, etc. seriously. Although the formal bullets are not so easy to find, they are still taken from my own people. If I replace them with the 38th hood, I will snatch them from the Japanese... I won't do such an unprofitable deal.

So I walked to the depths of the arsenal... The soldiers were all picking weapons outside, and they thought the weapons inside were all the same, so only I and a few soldiers walked in.

At this time, a long and small wooden box on a square table attracted my attention... Wooden boxes like this that usually have certain sizes and specifications. I think this is to facilitate the convenience of putting several guns overlapping together for easy transportation. However, this wooden box is different. It is indeed a gun inside its length, but it can only hold the size of a gun.

What gun needs to be stored separately in a wooden box? And it is also placed on the square table... Intuition tells me that this thing is not simple, so I put down the rifle and pulled out the military spear and carefully picked up the seal on the ammunition box. When I opened the box cover, I couldn't help but be stunned: Although this is also a 38-large cover, it is a sniper rifle with a scope!

Speaking of which, sniper rifles are still rare in this era. At this time, countries around the world realized the tactical value of snipers on the battlefield not long ago. Sniper rifles are also in their infancy. Basically, they choose rifles with good performance and then add sights to use them as sniper rifles, such as the US m1 rifle and the Soviet Mosinnagan rifle...

Because Japan is a country with extremely poor resources, they have always advocated the reduction of ammunition and precise shooting, which is why the Japanese army has been reluctant to develop semi-automatic rifles later. Under the guidance of this idea, they of course focused on the development of sniper rifles, so the sniper rifle was found in front of me with a sight.

I carefully took out the sniper rifle from inside, as if I was holding a baby, afraid of hurting it... I felt very good when I held it in my hand. I opened the protective cover of the scope and glanced. The scenery in the distance immediately expanded several times, emitting colorful light under the reflection of the light.

When did Japan develop this sniper rifle? I vaguely remember that the Japanese army also called this sniper rifle Type 97 sniper rifle, why was it called a 97 rifle? I know one thing about Japan's chronology is the first year when Emperor Shenwu took office. Until now, it was 1937, it was 2597 of Japan, so Japan called this rifle Type 97 sniper rifle.

In other words, this kind of rifle was just developed and put into use by Japan... By the way, this research and development does not seem to be difficult, because it only takes a four-fold scope to install a 38-large cover. Later I learned that Japan's Type 97 sniper rifle is divided into 2.5 times and 4 times, and I was lucky enough to get a 4-fold magnification.

I think this may be because Japan has just produced it and plans to send it to the front line to test its performance! Japan never thought that the gun had fallen into my hands without even a single bullet.
