Compared to Qin Jun's gunpowder therapy, the most headache for Qin Jun was Qi Jun's snipers.

"The sharpshooters on the other side were so accurate that many of our machine gunners were hit. Some of them even died directly, and we have to think of a way. A Qin army officer suggested to his commander.

"We just have to keep shifting positions. There's nothing good to do for now. The officer's commander replied.

"But I don't want sharpshooters to be called snipers. They are not gods, and they can be killed by our machine gunners. The chief continued.

The word sniper comes from Shang Wen. Shang Wen had proposed the establishment of specialized snipers, as the Qin army had also benefited from sniper tactics in the campaign against the Yue, but this tactic was not widely promoted.

The reason is that the opponents of the Qin army are all nomads who have large-scale movement warfare and are very mobile. And the opponent is good at group charges. For such an enemy, sniper tactics are clearly inappropriate, and the role played is not very obvious.

One shot kills one, and the enemy rushes in a swarm. And the two sides did not enter an equal stalemate. Therefore, in Qin Jun's view, the role of sniping is far less powerful than that of a machine gun. The machine gun can strafe the entire enemy, killing them on a large scale. Snipers, on the other hand, can only kill the enemy accurately, and nothing can be done other than that.

Therefore, Qin Jun, based on his own experience, believes that the role of sniping is far less powerful than that of machine guns. So, they despise the role of sniping. On the contrary, the Qi army was inferior to the Yan army at the beginning of the war, and launched rear attack tactics, and later, after the Qi army introduced muskets on a large scale, especially after the double engine entered the stalemate stage. The role of sniping began to rise rapidly. And it became the standard tactic of the Qi army. Sniper tactics have been recognized by the Qi army.

For example, the Qi army has such special soldiers in the general army. They can do without military uniforms. But there must be good camouflage. This was the first time in this period that the army used sniper camouflage tactics. They wore sackcloth hats, which served as a good camouflage, because the color of the burlap matched the color of the earth, and in addition to these, they were tied with different strips of linen, and finally, they were draped with a sack of burlap on their backs. In this way, they lay on the ground two hundred paces away, and it was difficult for the naked eye to distinguish at a glance, and if there were haystacks, the probability of finding them would be greatly reduced.

In addition to camouflage, the snipers of the Qi army also used rifles that were carefully selected, and the Qi army specially imported a batch of pull-back rotary rifles without magazines from arms dealers from other countries, because the bullets used in this rifle are smokeless gunpowder bullets, which are much higher than trap rifles in terms of range, especially the Wenyang rifle, the Wenyang rifle uses ghost ring aiming and shooting, which can achieve rapid fire within a certain distance. Therefore, Qi army snipers like this rifle very much.

However, the sniper rifle used by the Qi army was not a professional sniper rifle, and their rifle was not specially developed for sniper tactics, on the contrary, their rifle was an ordinary infantry rifle that the Qin army was equipped with before. There was no special lengthened barrel, no other measures were used to stabilize the rifle, and most importantly, the rifle was unified without an optical sight. On the contrary, Qi army snipers like this kind of aiming with the naked eye. Because they can see much more. Qi Jun also used to use a monocular to attach to a rifle, but the problem is that after using a telescope, the field of view becomes narrow, so that they don't know what is happening around them, and worst of all, the reflection of the telescope's lens exposes the position of the sniper. Therefore, the Qi army snipers did not approve of the installation of telescopes, they believed that the installation of telescopes would cause them a huge interference. So, they didn't use a scope, on the contrary, they really liked the feeling of shooting without an optical sight, because they could shoot quickly.

This is also the result, many people were hit by the Qin army's machine gunners, but there were very few people who were directly killed. Qi army snipers often shoot with sense and experience. After firing a single bullet, they would quickly leave, avoiding retaliatory fire from the Qin army's machine guns. At the same time, they were able to withdraw the cartridge case and reinstall a new cartridge to design.

The Qin army had to be beaten passively because it did not promote sniper tactics. This was also a helpless move by the Qin army. Qin Jun's current thinking is still the kind of play that attaches importance to the suppression of group firepower. Not much attention is paid to the skills of technical application, especially in the application of tactics, and the Qin army is very lacking in this regard.

On the contrary, due to the lack of heavy firepower to suppress, the Qi army, as well as the Zhao army, made bold innovations and attempts in this regard. I have to say that this is also a kind of fairness.

In this way, the Qi army sniper put a shot. And the Qin army machine gunner immediately returned the color with the machine gun in his hand. Retaliate frantically at suspicious targets, then another Qi sniper fires a shot to attract fire, and Qin machine gunners fire at another target. In this way, a cat-and-mouse game was staged at the front for the time being.

And behind this kind of game. The Qi soldiers were desperately digging their trenches, and then approaching each other bit by bit. The Qin army could only report the situation and then request support. At present, the only person the Qin army can get in touch with is the tower side. Their connection will also be severed from the outside world due to the expansion of the defensive encirclement by the Qi army.

Just when the two sides entered a stalemate. Only then did the front-line leaders of the Qi army know what was happening. The communication situation of the Qi army is not like that of the Qin army, which can be contacted by telephone and telegram, on the contrary, the communication situation of the Qi army is still stuck in the Warring States period, and they need to send special communication personnel to exchange personnel and transmit messages and orders.

"What? More than a thousand people on our left flank surrounded one of the airfields of the Qin army? "The news that Tian Heng got was still half a month ago, and now the situation has changed.

In fact, the communications staff of the Qi army have worked very hard. But the very bad road conditions in Yanguo, coupled with the interference of rain and snow. As a result, it took the communications personnel half a month to find the front base camp of the Qi army.

"I'll take the letter." Saying that, Tian Heng took the battle report to check the situation.

"Whew." Tian Heng couldn't believe it. On their left flank, they were able to run into the Qin troops, and it was very likely that there was an exchange of fire.

"This was already news half a month ago." Tian Heng looked at the date and said.

"Half a month, a lot has happened. And we don't know anything. Tian Heng felt very nervous in his heart. The appearance of the Qin army means that it is very likely that the Qin army has already intervened in the war of the Yan State. Tian Heng is weighing the interests of both sides.

But there was one thing he couldn't understand, and that was why Qin Jun suddenly appeared. Moreover, the timing of the appearance of the Qin army was somewhat premature. Because in his opinion, the Qin State is the country that is the best at seizing the opportunity, and they will definitely not intervene in the war at the beginning, which is very disadvantageous for the Qin State, because if they intervene in the war too early, it is very likely that they will drag themselves into the quagmire of war. Once dragged to death, it is very likely to cause a great loss of national strength, and then affect the diplomatic situation of the entire country.

According to Tian Heng's most likely hypothesis, it is very likely that Zhao Jun will appear first, and to deal with Zhao Jun, Tian Heng already has a preliminary idea, that is, to win over Zhao and solve Zhao through diplomatic channels. Although some of the benefits are lost, it will not cause great harm. Now the Qin army suddenly appeared. The situation is still very uncertain.

Tian Heng thought about it, but he still couldn't figure out why this situation happened.

The generals on the side watched the young civilian turn around. They don't know what to do anymore.

"Yes." Tian Heng couldn't figure it out, so he decided to look for it from the letter to see what news value could be used.

"Qinjun Airport." Tian Heng said when he saw these words.

"Is there a large group of people at Qinjun Airport?" Tian Heng asked suddenly.

"Well, that's not much. There were about three or four hundred people. The signal soldier replied.

"That's right." Tian Heng finally figured it out.

"The Qin army did not intervene on a large scale. Moreover, the appearance of this Qin army was an accident. Tian Heng said confidently.

"The Qin State has no plans to get involved at the moment. However, this is also an opportunity. Tian Heng thought for a while and said. Then he waved for the Messenger to withdraw.

"Lord, the Qin army appears?" A general stepped forward and asked.

"Don't worry about the Qin army, this Qin army is just an accident, however, this Qin army has run into it. Then you have to take advantage of it. Tian Heng said.

"Do you know why the Qin army only uses planes from the sky on the front line of the Yan Kingdom." Tian Heng also learned about it from the newspaper. It was the plane of the Qin State.

The generals shook their heads and said they didn't know.

"Qin Guo is not only fierce, he also has the same cunning. They want to make a profit, and now they have not yet taken the maximum profit, so they only send planes to the battle, and they are not willing to use ground forces to fight, and now our army is advancing rapidly, and unexpectedly encounters this army, that is, it is purely an accident. Right now. We're going to take advantage of this surprise. Give a good knock on the Qin State. Tian Heng said with a smile.

"Please make it clear." A family general asked.

"If we surround and eat this Qin army, what do you say about the Qin Dynasty?" Tian Heng asked.

"The Qin army will get involved, and in this way, won't it be very disadvantageous to us." The generals replied.

"No, the Qin army won't enter all at once. Instead, they hesitate. Moreover, their attitude is very difficult to determine. Tian Heng said.
