Liu Yimin spent this afternoon in the sniper platoon. When he arrived, the sniper platoon leader Wang Tongsheng was leading the soldiers to practice shooting postures.
Watching the soldiers practicing seriously, Liu Yimin was very satisfied. After waiting for a while, he called Wang Tongsheng over and asked about the training situation. Wang Tongsheng reported that after the platoon was reorganized to the west, the number of personnel increased by 8, and now there are 30 people in total.
The original 22 people were all red 18 regiments and 3
The top soldiers in the 4th Division's leading company all have good marksmanship. The eight new people were found from the Red Army reorganized by the Xiangjiang River. They are all old Red Army soldiers and their marksmanship is also very good. However, the sniper platoon has not been tested in actual combat since its establishment.
I have never done target shooting, so I need to go through combat to know the specific situation.
Liu Yimin asked Wang Tongsheng about his shooting skills. Wang Tongsheng smiled sheepishly and said that the gun can be fired within 100 meters, 150 meters depends on the target, and 200 meters must be a fixed target. Liu Yimin knew that this was a master, because the Red Army did not have professional snipers.
Rifle, it is not easy to reach this level with ordinary rifles.
Liu Yimin asked again if other soldiers could reach this level. Wang Tongsheng still said that he would not know until the next battle test. Liu Yimin told Wang Tongsheng that when the battle was not too busy, he would write a professional sniper book.
Textbook, leading soldiers to train together. Now there are combat missions at any time. The focus is on training how to find and establish sniper positions, how to discover key targets at the first time, and clarify the sniper sequence.
Wang Tongsheng said that I would gather the soldiers and ask the regiment leader to give a brief talk first. Liu Yimin said it was okay.
After a while, the soldiers gathered around Liu Yimin. Liu Yimin asked everyone to sit down and told the soldiers how to choose a sniper position, how to disguise and move positions, and pay attention to covering each other in pairs. Then he told everyone that the battlefield
Let’s talk about the order of sniper targets. The first target is the enemy sniper, but now the Chinese army does not have snipers.
Without a sense of combat, it is impossible to have professional snipers, at best there are individual sharpshooters. Therefore, when fighting the National Army, the first target of the sniper platoon is the commander, especially the highest commander on the battlefield. In view of the fact that the National Army, especially the Central Army soldiers, are fighting
With weak consciousness and weak cohesion, killing the enemy's top commander can easily cause chaos and even lead to defeat. Because
Therefore, timely discovery and elimination of the enemy's highest commander on the battlefield is the primary task of the sniper platoon. The No. 1 sniper team should be assigned to take on this task. Secondly, the enemy's middle and lower-level commanders who lead the charge should kill a company commander, which may lead to the charge of this company.
Stop immediately. We must discover and kill these middle and lower-level commanders as soon as possible, causing enemy organizations to
The system is chaotic. The second target is the enemy's artillery. The enemy's artillery poses the greatest threat to the Red Army. Killing the enemy's artillery and using it for our use is an important part of winning the battle. The third target is the enemy's machine gunner, especially the heavy machine gunner.
They must be eliminated in time during the battle. If the above-mentioned combat objectives and tasks are completed, our army will be invincible.
A soldier asked: "If these targets are eliminated, can we withdraw?"
Liu Yimin said: "Yes. But analyze the specific situation in detail. If both sides are in battle, the sniper platoon should immediately carry out covering fire to eliminate all targets that have a great impact on me. Think about it, everyone, the sniper platoon is the essence of the army, you can
It is said that a bullet is an enemy. Basically, the bullets are fired. When the enemy is unprepared, one of your platoons will kill the enemy's platoon with one round of shooting. If each person fires ten bullets, that is nearly three companies.
enemy. So it's crucial that the sniper platoon goes into battle."
Another soldier said: "Then if the troops charge, we won't be able to aim and shoot like that once we go up to fight with bayonets."
Liu Yimin said: "What the sniper platoon trains is calm shooting, precise shooting, and talking to the enemy with bullets. No one is allowed to order the sniper platoon to participate in charges and bayonets at any time. Even 100 enemy lives cannot be exchanged for one of our snipers."
Of course, you are still far away from the requirements of snipers, and you can only be regarded as special shooters. etc.
After our Red Army rebuilds its base in the future, we will try to purchase professional sniper rifles with scopes and silencers, conduct professional training, and strive to kill all targets we think should be killed within 1,000 meters. Now the conditions are not met and we do not have good equipment.
It is impossible to carry out professional training, and we can only rely on learning and accumulating experience in battle."
"1000 meters? Darling, what kind of gun is that?" a soldier exclaimed.
"Some countries with developed military industries in Europe and the United States produce sniper rifles. For example, the Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle of the Soviet Union has a magnification of 4 times, a combat rate of fire of 10-20 rounds/minute, and a killing range of 2,000 meters.
The German sniper rifle is the K98 rifle, and
The Type 79 rifle in our hands is both a Mauser rifle. The difference is that it is equipped with a scope. Using a k98 sniper rifle equipped with a 4x scope can easily shoot targets at 400 meters. If you choose a 6x scope,
It can shoot targets at a distance of 1,000 meters." Liu Yimin replied.
Wang Tongsheng looked envious, as if there was a brand-new sniper rifle in front of him. He rubbed his hands together and spat into his palms with all his strength. Liu Yimin saw it funny and said, "Wang Tongsheng, are you feeling itchy?"
Wang Tongsheng said: "Captain, you don't know, if we have such a good gun, we can shoot from two miles away. When the enemy finds out that the commander has been killed by us, we can run away quietly. Where are they going?"
Go chase us."
Liu Yimin said, "If we don't have a professional sniper rifle, we can make it ourselves. Wang Tongsheng, go find a telescope and ask a craftsman to split it into two monocular telescopes and fix them on the rifle to see what the effect is."
Wang Tongsheng said: "That's right, why didn't I think of it?"
Liu Yimin said: "A good sniper is an intellectual warrior. He must be calm at all times, observe more, and think of ways. Go to the recruit camp and see if there are any Miao or Yao warriors who can use bows and arrows. How many warriors can you find?
Come here, teach our soldiers that the sniper platoon not only uses guns, but can also use bows and arrows to fight silently."
Wang Tongsheng said: "Yes, resolutely implement the order."
A soldier said: "I think about it, the sniper the regiment leader mentioned is what we call cold shooting. We often use it in battle, but it doesn't have much effect."
Liu Yimin said: "Wrong. There is an essential difference between sniping and cold shooting. Cold shooting is to play the role of a special shooter in the battle, and it is done accidentally. Sniping is to consciously cultivate snipers and consciously snipe the enemy's key objects and targets. Big
Part of the time, snipers act alone without large units. You may not know that a good sniper can sometimes change the outcome of a battle, or even the outcome of the war."
The soldiers' eyes aroused Liu Yimin's interest, and he began to cheat.
"Let me tell you a story. This story is called The Shot That Wasn't Fired. It is said that during the American Revolutionary War, the British Army had a famous firearms designer named Patrick Ferguson. He was also an excellent sniper. At that time, he
An old-fashioned smoothbore flint gun was used, with an effective killing range of 73 meters. The US sniper used a Kentucky rifle, with an effective range of 180 meters. The most deadly thing is that the flint gun is loaded with ammunition in the front chamber.
The ammunition moves slowly and cannot be loaded in a prone position, making it easy to expose the target. The difference in equipment puts Ferguson at a disadvantage in confrontations with U.S. snipers. In a battle, Ferguson was in an advantageous situation when he discovered the target before his opponent.
The weapon did not reach the range and did not hit the enemy. Instead, he exposed himself and was injured by the opponent because of the shot. Therefore, he determined to develop a breech-loading rifle with a range of more than 180 meters. Later, he finally created the world
The first breech-loading rifle was the Ferguson rifle. All the rifles we use today are his descendants. In 1776, Ferguson was performing a shooting show in a British arsenal. Ferguson used his gun to hit a cow 91 meters away.
Eyes. The top brass of the British army decided on the spot to produce 100 Ferguson rifles and form a special unit using Ferguson rifles. Ferguson led this unit to cause heavy casualties to the U.S. military. Once, they were attacked by the U.S. Army
The army was surrounded. Ferguson commanded the troops to use a new tactic of lying down and shooting to calmly break through without any casualties. After the successful breakout, Ferguson found an American officer turning away on horseback. He quickly aimed at the back of the officer's head. At this time, the distance between the two men was
It was only 114 meters away, and one hit was sure to hit. Unexpectedly, Ferguson suddenly stopped his gun and ordered the troops to retreat. Did you know? This officer was called George Washington, the founding president of the United States, the most powerful country in the world."
"Oh my god, if he had shot, wouldn't there be no America later?" a soldier exclaimed.
Liu Yimin glanced at the soldier: "History has no assumptions. However, historians also admit that Ferguson gave up an opportunity to change history."
"Then why didn't he shoot?" the soldier continued to ask.
"Why didn't he shoot? We were not involved, and we don't know what he really thought at the time. However, many people believe that Washington's back was turned to Ferguson. The gentlemanly demeanor of the British made Ferguson unwilling to shoot Washington from behind. Whatever the reason, Ferguson eventually
The bullet was not fired. Ironically, Ferguson was killed by an American sniper at a distance of 411 meters during the Battle of Kings Mountain on August 7, 1780."
The soldier smacked his lips and said, "What a pity."
"What's your name?" Liu Yimin asked the soldier.
"Reporting to the commander, Li Shuniu, a soldier of the sniper platoon of the 18th Red Regiment, is reporting to you. Please give instructions."
Looking at Li Shui Niu's standard military posture, Liu Yimin's eyes were full of smiles. In just a few days, the soldiers of the 18th Regiment learned the standard military posture from him. The power of example is infinite. Liu Yimin
After returning the gift, he said: "Comrade Li Buffalo, do you know that during the American Revolutionary War, the American sniper Murphy killed the British general Simon who was leading a reconnaissance team?
Fraser, which led to the bankruptcy of the British army's breakout plan. This battle was a turning point in the American Revolutionary War. Murphy shot perhaps the most valuable bullet in human history. Therefore, if you want to become an excellent sniper, you must
When completing a mission, you can't be gentlemanly. What snipers learn is to shoot in the head with a rifle, whether it's the forehead or the back of the head."
Li Shui Niu said: "Commander, don't worry, my bullets are designed to hit the enemy's head and scare them to death."
Liu Yimin then said to the soldiers: "Think about it, everyone, if our army encounters the enemy in the next battle, the sniper platoon can quickly establish a concealed sniper position, and then the enemy officers, gunners, and machine gunners will be killed one after another. The enemy can still fight with us."
Shall we fight? I'm afraid the enemy will collapse soon."
Wang Tongsheng said: "That's right. The soldiers of the White Army are basically from Latin America and have extremely poor combat awareness. If there is no officer to lead, the team will disperse quickly. If the enemy is a regiment, if we enter the battlefield before the enemy and prepare,
One round of shooting will probably kill the enemy's company and platoon commander, in which case the battle will be one-sided."
Liu Yimin patted Wang Tongsheng on the shoulder: "My enemy, you have to think about it with the soldiers, how to disguise yourself so that the enemy cannot find it, such as dyeing clothes the same color as dry grass leaves, etc., how to find a suitable position, how to
Such grouping and matching can better utilize your shooting skills. Remember, in addition to having a high level of education and shooting skills, the soldiers who join the sniper platoon must also have a high awareness of confidentiality and cannot let the enemy know about our new tactics."
Wang Tongsheng said: "If we do this, it will be a completely new way of combat and requires improved equipment."
Liu Yimin felt that Wang Tongsheng had a strong receptive ability and seemed to have special operations qualities, so he said: "When there is a seizure in the next battle, the sniper platoon should give priority to equipped with binoculars, pistols, daggers and watches, and other equipment will be added slowly. In fact,
It costs a lot of money to equip a qualified sniper. We are currently in the process of moving, and conditions do not allow it. You should explore it yourself first, especially the matter of disassembling the telescope and mounting it on the rifle, and test it immediately. If it works, you can use it first. Wait
When conditions improve in the future, we will assemble them according to standards."
Seeing that there was still time, Liu Yimin taught the soldiers how to learn sign language. Unexpectedly, these old Red Army soldiers had good receptive abilities. It didn't take long and they basically mastered it.
Liu Yimin told Wang Tongsheng to lead the soldiers to continue practicing and discuss as mentioned earlier. It is best to practice in groups of two. Wang Tongsheng said that the leader should rest assured that they are all veterans, they can understand everything and will practice seriously.
Liu Yimin smiled, patted Wang Tongsheng on the shoulder, and returned to the regiment headquarters with the correspondent.
After dinner, Liu Yimin was discussing with Cai Zhong how to speed up the production of dry food and shoes and socks. A correspondent from the Red Army headquarters came to Liu Yimin and said that Chairman Mao was looking for him and Political Commissar Cai. Liu Yimin discussed with Cai Zhong and told Liu Jianli
Paying attention to strengthening vigilance, he left with the correspondent.
