Peter sat down on a chair in the corridor uneasily, but as soon as he sat down, Dani stood up and said in a deep voice, "This is a temporary clearance, there are a lot of people coming here, let's change places and wait." ”

Praise their special status, the same Peter and their group of Russians are also special, after Dani finished speaking, he immediately said to the personnel sent by the hospital who had been following him: "Arrange an office immediately, whatever room you want, it's quiet enough not to be seen by many people." ”

The conditions of the hospital were limited, and Gao Yang and they were led to a conference room, a long oval table that could accommodate twenty people to sit around, and many chairs, which were good for resting and waiting.

Gao Yang is now sensitive to the word machine gun, just now he heard those Russians talk about machine gun fire, although this sentence is really nothing to pay attention to for a battle, but Gao Yang still wants to find out what is going on, because he thinks that since the people of the signal flag specifically mentioned machine gun fire, then there may be something special about the machine gun fire they encountered.

Gao Yang coughed lightly, and then said to Peter, who was sitting across from him, "Mr. Peter, I want to ask you something, can you tell me what happened to those friends of yours?"

Gao Yang didn't want to reveal right away that he could understand Russian, so he asked in a more secure way.

Peter said without hesitation, "Mr. Colonel, now is not the time to satisfy your curiosity. ”

Gao Yang also said very simply: "This is not to satisfy curiosity, what happened to them may be important to me, I just want to find out how and where they were attacked, you can pick up and tell me if you don't have to keep it secret." ”

Peter turned and waved at the Russians. He said loudly: "Hide what you can't say." Tell us more about what you encountered. ”

A Russian stood up. Hesitantly, he said, "Is it very detailed?"

Peter nodded and said, "Very detailed, we owe a lot of favors, why don't we wait at this time? I'm not your captain, but I didn't let you leak the secret, I said, tell what I can." ”

The Russian immediately took out a folded map from his large trouser pocket and walked over to Gao Yang's side. After spreading out the folded small map on the table in front of Gao Yang, he stretched out his finger and compared it twice on the map, then pointed to a place with his finger and said, "We were attacked here." ”

Gao Yang looked and found that the place where the Russians were attacked was in the eastern district of Damascus, which was already at the forefront of the exchange of fire between government forces and rebels.

Gao Yang couldn't help frowning and said, "Why did you go where?"

"I'm sorry. ”

"Oh, sorry, I shouldn't have asked this question, wait a minute, please wait a minute. ”

The map is relatively small. Only the part of the city of Damascus was covered, but Gao Yang remembered that the road where the Russians had been attacked continued eastward. It seemed to be a rebel training camp that had just caught their attention in the afternoon.

The map was marked in Arabic, and Gao Yang needed to make it carefully, and he thought back to the location of the training camp he had memorized in the afternoon, and after looking at the points on the map that had been attacked, he was sure that if he followed the road further east, it would indeed lead directly to the training ground.

I don't know if it's a pure coincidence, or if it's related, Gao Yang looked at it for a long time before he nodded and said, "Okay, please continue." ”

"The place where we were attacked, it was a crossroads, we had reached the most dangerous area, at this time, a pilot car was here, found something not quite right, there appeared a garbage heap that was not there yesterday, a construction waste heap, our captain stopped the convoy in time, and then his car began to retreat quickly, at this time there was an explosion, the power of the explosion was very large, but the strange thing is that the explosion fragments are very small, which reduces the power of the explosion, our captain's car is far away, his car was lifted off, the next thing, you already know。 ”

Gao Yang pondered carefully for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Please elaborate on the process of your battle, and also, can you tell us about your approximate number?"

The soldier hesitated for a moment, but finally said: "We have a total of five vehicles, among which there are seven Syrians, they are behind the lead car, and after the explosion, the second car came under intensive machine-gun fire, forming a very dense network of crossfire, and the positions of the machine gun positions are here, here, and here." ”

Gao Yang exhaled softly, as he found it more and more interesting, the rebels' machine-gun positions were arranged in a zigzag pattern, one in the center, and one on the left and right, a simple, but particularly effective and practical crossfire net.

During World War I, the Germans invented the machine gun tactic of putting the machine gun up front and then firing at the charging infantry on the flank.

The current infantry charge will not be crowded into a ball, it will definitely be charged in a skirmish line, the distance between people is at least ten or so meters, and the machine gun is used to shoot at the frontal enemy, and can only carry out fan-shaped strafing, the hit rate will not be too high, and only the vast majority of bullets will be wasted, if each target needs to be aimed and then fired, it will be a great waste of time, so that the enemy will break through the defense line and rush over.

However, when the two machine guns form a crossed line of fire, one on the left and one on the right, when firing at the enemy soldiers who are roughly lined up in a straight line, there is no need to sweep back and forth, only one point is needed to fire with all their might.

Holding the machine gun back and forth to do a fan-shaped sweep, and the muzzle basically does not need to move, just at a point of slight shift to pour fire, that kind of hit rate is higher.

Don't underestimate the crossfire tactics invented during World War I, the original rebels really wouldn't use them.

But they will now.

Gao Yang looked at the point where the machine gun positions on the map were located, the machine gun positions on the left and right sides were almost more than 400 meters away, and the machine gun positions in the center facing the attack site were also at this distance, at this distance, it could avoid the threat of automatic rifle fire to the greatest extent, but it had no effect on the power of the machine guns at all, and it was very important that the untrained rebels would not shoot all the bullets into the sky when using machine guns.

Gao Yang is now very sure that the rebel machine gunners have been trained in a targeted manner, the reason is very simple, the position of the three machine gun positions is definitely designed in advance, in the previous Syrian rebels, no machine gunner would think of cooperating with another machine gunner who was 800 meters away from him, a machine gun position is a fire point, nothing more, but now, the three machine gun positions form a coordinated whole, a simple but efficient killing system.

Gao Yang touched his chin, pondered for a long time, he was thinking about the fighting method of the Iron Wall Mercenary Group, after thinking about it for a long time, he nodded, and said in a deep voice: "What kind of machine gun does the enemy use?"

"In the middle is an M2 heavy machine gun, and on the sides are light machine guns, 5.56 caliber, which should be M249. ”

Gao Yang slapped the table and said, "Why a light machine gun?"

"The machine gunners on both sides are hidden, it's a street, it's a zone that government forces and rebels have repeatedly fought for, and I think the reason why they use light machine guns instead of heavy machine guns is to get into the lurks and set up hidden machine gun positions, and to get out in time. ”

Gao Yang frowned and said, "Okay, the area that has been fought over repeatedly, I understand, please continue." ”

"The first car was overturned by the shock wave, and after the enemy realized that the convoy would not enter their circle of fire, he fired heavily at the second car that entered the circle of fire, all seven people on it were killed, our convoy withdrew, and then we began to try to rescue the captain who was trapped in the car. ”

Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "How do you deal with the machine gunner?"

"Sniper, we have two snipers, the enemy's machine gunners shoot quite accurately, but their awareness of rapid transfer formations is not very strong, our snipers easily solved the heavy machine gun position in the front, and then shot the machine gunner on the left, but the right did not complete all the shots, the machine gunner on the right reacted quickly, and after finding that there were snipers on our side, they quickly fled from their machine gun positions. ”

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Okay, please continue." ”

"Under cover, we dragged out the captain who was trapped in the car, the driver was dead, and then we withdrew until here. ”

Gao Yang raised his index finger, nodded, and said, "There is a question, have you observed the appearance of the machine gunners, such as what kind of race they are?"

The Russian glanced to the side, and then one of the Russians stood up and said: "I'm a sniper, I saw the appearance of a frontal machine gunner, a big beard, with a local face, there can be no mistake, I finished a shot to the right, I shot the sub-shooter, I didn't see the face, but the hair of the sub-shooter is black, which is the most common dress of the Syrians." ”

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Thank you, thank you very much, well, I would like to know, based on your observations, do you think there is anything special about those machine gunners? ”

A group of Russians were lost in thought, and soon one of the Russians said, "Special? The special thing is that those damn bastards have machine guns that are so accurate that it makes it difficult for us to move, which is not common for those mongrels, and they would use crossfire nets to ambush them, isn't that special enough?" ”

Gao Yang smiled and said, "That's right, these alone are indeed special enough, but are there any more detailed aspects?"

"Yes, their firepower lasts very well, they use a chain of 200 rounds, but the shooting pause is very short, that is, the action of changing ammunition is very fast. ”

At this time, the sniper frowned and said: "I saw a detail in the scope, their action of changing bullets is very standard, but, how to put it, it is much better than the other rebels, and it is much faster, but it is not fast enough, like, well, like they have just learned the correct way to use the machine gun, but they are not skilled enough."
