1015. The Sniper Gunner of the Eastern Battlefield

At that time, Japan's advanced military industry could completely produce individual weapons with repeating bullets, such as submachine guns and light machine guns, but they rarely produced and rarely equipped them with troops.

The reason is that I feel that the kind of single-soldier weapon with continuous bullets is too wasteful of bullets, and it will also bring a bad habit to the soldiers, that is, they are unwilling to improve their shooting accuracy, and they always want to use bullets to get it.

Therefore, their single-shot 38 rifle is very popular, and it has been equipped with the Japanese army for many years, and it has been revised and upgraded several times, but it is not equipped with a repeating device.

The 38 gun is of good quality, the chamber is tight, the barrel is long, and the rifling is wear-resistant, so this kind of gun has a fast muzzle velocity and the bullet hits very far.

The warhead, guided by the rifling of the barrel, rotated fully and fired accurately, approaching the performance of sniper rifles that appeared in that era.

Therefore, the Japanese army trained those excellent shooters with ordinary 38 rifles, which worked very well, allowing these shooters to shoot with rifles at any time on the battlefield.

Of course, to train these people, bullets are used a lot, although they are not equipped with submachine guns in order to save bullets, but in the training of soldiers and excellent marksmen, they are still very willing.

Sangou heard that when some Japanese soldiers were training in Japan, they used to shoot tens of thousands of bullets a year, obediently, what kind of concept is this, many Chinese soldiers sometimes have all the bullets in a company.

It's too generous, this kind of training, even the soldiers of the 74th Army don't have this treatment, let alone other miscellaneous units of the Chinese Army.

Many miscellaneous troops, even with incomplete guns, only a few bullets per person, and some red troops in the north, the same, will start charging after a few shots, and if they don't charge, they will fight without bullets.

I heard that there are strict rules that each battle cannot exceed five shots, that is, five bullets cannot be consumed, and if you exceed it, you will be severely punished.

There is no way, the extreme lack of war materials does not allow the soldiers to let go of their bellies to fight. This is simply impossible for the Japanese army, unless it loses logistics support on a tiny local battlefield.

The ordinary soldiers of the Japanese army, in the Chinese army, the shooting level is estimated to be at the level of excellent shooters, not to mention the excellent shooters of the Japanese army.

Therefore, the first platoon of the 7th Company immediately came under unprecedented pressure, on the one hand, it had to withstand the suppression of the fan fire brought by the Japanese light and heavy machine gun strafing, and on the other hand, it had to prevent the fixed and accurate fire of the Japanese shooters on the embankment.

Fortunately, they were hiding behind the trenches, with a certain amount of fortifications to protect them, and most of the devil's bullets were in the sandbags and dirt on the top of the trenches, but despite this, the trenches were also dusty, and the bullets flew to the back with a clattering edge.

Most of the soldiers did not dare to raise their heads, as soon as their heads were exposed, the bullets would be splashed like splashing water, and only by constantly shifting the firing position could they get a shot.

But the accuracy of shooting while shifting has been greatly reduced. The devil's stragglers, seeing that the Chinese army was suppressed, immediately accelerated their speed of moving forward.

By this time, the squad of the 7th Company's forward position had no choice but to open fire, and because these machine gun bunkers were relatively hidden, as soon as they opened fire, several Japanese stragglers were knocked out.

The Japanese machine guns were immediately attracted by the Chinese machine gun fire points, especially the heavy machine guns, which fired suppressively at the light machine gun firing points of the Chinese army.

The light machine gun is under the heavy machine gun in terms of muzzle velocity, rate of fire, and firing range, and the key is that the light machine gun cannot hit the heavy machine gun, only the share of the beating, so in terms of firepower, it is incomparable, and it is easy to be suppressed.

Fortunately, the light machine gun is easy to transfer, and one machine gun crew member can also be one person, two people can also go, pick up the gun and leave, only a dozen pounds of things.

But the machine-gun fire lies in a coherence, so always shifting positions, in the suppression of the fire of the Japanese stragglers, can not form a continuous and effective strike.

If it can't form an effective strike, then the excellent marksmen of the infantry will make up for it, and after the three squads on the side of the seventh company and a platoon of machine guns attracted most of the Japanese machine-gun fire, most of the fighters were suppressed a lot less by firepower.

Now under the training of Xiucai, many excellent shooters have emerged, Ma Zhaokai is one of them, this guy is very young, usually very smart, but he has a calm spirit, and he was suddenly hit by Xiucai.

This is a good embryo of a shooter, with a flexible mind and can calm down, sure enough, in less than three months, Ma Zhaokai immediately stood out and became the top shooter of this group of novices, and his level is close to that of veterans like Xia Chen and Chen Yanxin.

The first time this guy went to the battlefield, he shot at least three devils with his own hands on the side of Xiangfu Temple, which is already a very good result for a novice who participated in the war for the first time.

Xiucai equipped him with the latest Chinese rifle, and added a deputy shooter and observer named Wu Zhandong, who worked in pairs to shoot devils together.

Now, with the Japanese machine-gun fire chasing their machine guns in a row of seven companies, the two of them have a chance to show their heads to observe, as long as Xiao Wu tells a direction, the pony can immediately lock on to the target and fire.

Sometimes, when time is urgent, Wu presses his rifle with bullets and gives it to the pony, acting as an ammunitionman, and of course, most of the time, covering and protecting the pony.

In today's film and television dramas, there are often soldiers holding an ordinary rifle and killing the Japanese machine gunners with one shot, even heavy machine gunners, which is almost impossible to happen in real positional warfare.

Because the range of the rifles of the Chinese army at that time was far from the range of the Japanese machine guns, not to mention the heavy machine guns, the rifles exceeded 400 meters, and almost lost their effective lethality.

The Japanese army's light machine gun, that is, the light machine gun of the Taisho 11th year, has an effective firing range of 600 meters, which is 200 meters more than that of the Chinese rifle.

The Japanese army's 92 heavy machine had an effective firing range of 1,000 meters, and how could a rifle with a firing range of 400 meters be able to beat a heavy machine gun that was nearly 1,000 meters away.

Unless they touched someone's flank or made a surprise sneak attack, it was possible to hit the Japanese light and heavy machine gunners with their rifles after approaching 400 meters.

But this is difficult to achieve in positional warfare, in which the flank protection of the people is very tight, and there is almost no room for the opponent.

Therefore, in positional warfare, the riflemen can only choose to dodge those machine guns, and rarely think about shooting the opponent's machine gunners, not only can they not hit, but they can't even see clearly.

As an excellent shooter, Ma Zhaokai is naturally very clear about the common sense things such as sight range and range, and he does not provoke the Japanese machine guns, but picks those devils and stragglers to fight.

In order to attack and seize the positions of the Chinese army, no matter what aircraft and artillery are in front, they still need infantry to occupy them in the end, and they need infantry to approach step by step.

This step-by-step approach means that the danger is getting bigger and bigger step by step, but as an infantryman, this is the order and action he must carry out, and he has to get closer.
