Chapter Twenty-Eight: Sniper Instructors

Yang Guang and the other four comrades-in-arms of the Zhikong D1 Army Guard Company all belong to the hot-blooded youth series. They are all snipers in the guard company. At their strong request, the party committee of the base approved them and the troops they taught to enter the Korean war. On October 12, they each brought their own Type 88 sniper rifle with no gills pads, no handles, 5.8 mm caliber cartridges, and a small amplitude when firing. They knew that 5.8 mm cartridges were not going to be replenished, so everyone came with 600 rounds in their backpacks. The M171 helicopter that came to the base by the Central Acceptance Group arrived at Shenyang Beiling Airport with 100 40 rocket launchers, 500 rounds of various rockets, 50 Type 79 sniper rifles, and 20 boxes of 7.62 ordinary ammunition.

Yang Guang took 20 rocket launchers, 100 rockets and 10 Type 79 sniper rifles with 4 boxes of ammunition totaling 5,760 rounds, was loaded onto a truck and rushed all the way to Ji'an. He was assigned to the 42nd Army, and 90 soldiers with good marksmanship from various companies in the 42nd Army of Ji'an were concentrated in a small school. Sunshine ate a hasty meal accompanied by Staff Officer Li from a military headquarters. The bumps of the day and night had brought him apart so quickly. Let Staff Officer Li send the bazooka to everyone first. Since the number is too small, one for every 2 people is not enough. Yang Guang stiffened up and explained to everyone the use of 40 bazooka and precautions. Then I saw a reinforced concrete bunker in the pseudo-period four or five hundred meters on the side of the highway and said, "Do you all understand?" If you have any questions, ask them right away. If you're okay, I'll give you a continuous demonstration. Everyone should pay attention to each of my movements, familiarize yourself with it first, practice it, and then aim at that bunker. Then, after doing a complete action from loading to position selection, to shooting preparation, I saw that everyone was seriously engaged in rapid practice.

So he went back to the elementary school, and under a pile of haystacks he lay down and fell asleep.

Yang Guang is 20 years old this year and has been a soldier for two years, and he already has tens of millions of assets under his name before becoming a soldier. His father was the manager of a medium-sized company, and was bought by his father's symbolic surname in the late 90s when the state assets were privatized. He sold part of his assets to dispose of the employees in the enterprise, and used the idle land and factory buildings of the enterprise to successfully enter the real estate industry through a series of operations, although he was not a big boss but was worth hundreds of millions. When he was a teenager and hadn't graduated from high school. His father bought him a beach villa with an area of more than 500 meters in Dalian. In Shenyang, he also bought him a high-rise residence with an area of 280 meters with a garage. He also deposited three million yuan and half a million euros in his name. And some dollars. He wasn't interested in any of that. He has been fascinated by the world of his guns since he was a child. His room is filled with replica guns. After graduating from high school, his father sent him to the United States to study. Yangguang was even more disgusted by this, and he didn't think the United States was any good. In more than a year, he passed the language exam without a strong score. But his troubles followed. Once he was racing on the road, he was found by the American police, and he chased wildly with his siren, and after stopping the car, he was forced by the American police to beat him with a gun. Later, a friend of his father's in the United States bailed him out. After that, his father personally went to the United States to pick him up. He ended more than a year of studying abroad in the United States. In addition to learning a few words of English, all that remains is hatred of American police. When they came back, they had a big argument. was sent to a domestic university by his father. It is said that his talent is still very high, and he always does what he likes to do, but he just can't raise any interest in learning. In class, he only watched the teacher's mouth keep churning, but he didn't know what the teacher was saying. Every day he can be interested in online gun games, he fantasizes that the people he killed were the American police officers who beat him up.

Half a year later, he had a showdown with his father and said, "Dad, you're going to die, let me read my heart." I'm not the stuff for reading at all. Now I study just to get a diploma, and this piece of paper has no effect on me. ”

His father thought about it, let out a long sigh, and said helplessly: "I said, son, what can you do?" Okay, then you can go to work in my company tomorrow."" I said Dad, are you tired, can you not follow my life according to your ideas. Yang Guang said dissatisfied.

His father was even more dissatisfied and said, "Your life! What do you live? If you don't study hard, and don't learn some skills from me, how will you inherit my career in the future. ”

He said hesitantly: "Cut, what kind of career do you call it, it is nothing more than collusion between money and power, and clever grabbing." "You brat. Lao Tzu is desperately making money outside, isn't it just for you! For you to eat, for you to wear, to spend money but you can spend money, you dare to say that about me!" His dad yelled angrily.

"You're also for me, okay. Dad, I don't want to quarrel with you, you don't want me to eat, I don't want to wear, I don't want any money, just ask you to stop caring about me."

Two days later, he quietly gave the Minister of Armed Forces 20,000 yuan to join the army. He hasn't been home since. His father came to the army to see him a few times. persuade him to go back with him. Leave him alone anymore. He said to his father: "Dad, go back and work your career, I feel that the army is very good, I like it very much, don't you want me to study, I will satisfy you, and I will go to the military school next year."

Perhaps Yang Guang was born to be a soldier, he showed his genius side in the army, the first time he hit the target, 5 bullets hit 49 rings. The second 10 rounds hit 98 rings. And all military training is in the forefront of the recruit company. In the guard company, he has become an absolute military backbone. Everyone knows his arrogant and undisciplined surname, plus his generous shots, and the personnel up and down are well mixed.

When Staff Officer Lee found him and woke him up, it was four hours later. He rubbed his eyes and said, "Done with all the exercises?" ”

That Staff Officer Li said: "You go and take a look, I see almost"

When he arrived at the front of the queue, he said to the fighters who were participating in the training: "Which of you feels that you have done it?" ”

Everyone raised their hands and said, "I can do it," "I can do it too," and he pointed to a loudest soldier with a Liaonan accent and said, "Then you can come."

He saw that the soldier was a little clumsy and loaded with an armor-piercing shell, and then put the rocket on his shoulder very smoothly, and looked back, kneeling and launching the rocket without support, and people saw that the rocket flew in the air and hit the pillbox accurately. Everything is like flowing water. Let Sunshine have to admire the high tactical quality of this fighter. When they saw the carved castle that had been completely destroyed, everyone let out cheers and amazements." Damn, this is a real experience, more than a mortar in the second type 120" The soldier then stood up and looked at the grass behind him that was burned by the tail flames of the rockets.

Yang Guang walked over and threw him a cigarette and asked, "Which regiment?" ”

"Report to Instructor Yang: I am the platoon commander of the 125th platoon of the 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 373rd Regiment of the 125th Division."

"Good! Yes, Platoon Commander Wang, I will act with your platoon in the future. ”

"That's great!" Platoon Commander Wang said with a bare hand.

Back in elementary school, everyone is still taking turns practicing the use of 40 bazooka and exchanging their experiences with each other. In the evening, Staff Officer Li of the military headquarters also handed out Type 79 sniper rifles and bullets to everyone. Each gun is equipped with 576 rounds of ammunition. The person who received the gun was ecstatic, and no one else could touch it if they wanted to. If you want to take it and look at it, you must at least give a "foreign cigarette" to the soldier who has a gun. Otherwise, you will feel that you have suffered at a glance. Those who didn't get guns couldn't help but be a little frustrated. Shouting that the distribution is unreasonable.

Speaking of which, our country has not paid much attention to the role of snipers, and the research on sniper rifles is not enough, coupled with the backward production technology, our army has not had its own sniper rifles and professional snipers.

Type 79 sniper rifle. In the 1979 self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, the Soviet Dragonov semi-automatic sniper rifle imitation seized from the Vietnamese army snipers, 79 years of formal finalization, 81 years into mass production in the Lao Son operation, a large number of snipers in our army used the gun into the Vietnam sniper operation, there was a deputy company commander with a 79 sniper rifle to create a 1300 meters of sniper enemy record, the use of the gun to eliminate the most enemy Chinese snipers is still unknown, on the declassified information shows that a sniper named Zheng Jue of our army, During the three-month rotation operation in Lao Son, a total of 50 Vietnamese soldiers were sniped with this rifle.

After dinner, everyone gathered in the small field of the elementary school, temporarily pulled an electric lamp, and gave everyone a brief explanation of the Type 79 sniper rifle under the dim light.

He picked up the Type 79 sniper rifle on a desk and said: "This gun is a single weapon used by infantry snipers, mainly to kill and injure a single important target at medium and long distances, such as enemy commanders, and important firepower operators. The effective firing range is 1000 meters, the whole gun weighs 3.8 kilograms, which is usually 7 catties as you say, the shooting accuracy is good, and the dispersion of the impact point at 300 meters does not exceed 200 mm. In addition to the mechanical aiming system with an arc ruler and a cylindrical crosshair, this gun is also equipped with an optical sight "said that there was a lifting of the scope and said: "This is a scope, it weighs a pound, can magnify the target 4 times, 6 degrees of viewing angle. This reduces the error when firing and improves the first-shot hit rate. This gun shoots semi-automatically, which means that the hook goes off once. Increased combat rate of fire, making it easier to seize opportunities and hit targets. Equipped with a detachable multi-function bayonet, he put down his scope and picked up the multi-purpose bayonet and said: "It can not only be used in white-knuckle combat, but also can be used as scissors and saws, which can cut barbed wire and sawn steel bars, and is an auxiliary tool for soldiers to survive in the wild." "10-round magazine feed." Sunshine used his left and right hands respectively, raised the magazine and bullets, and said: "With 7.62 long 54 mm bullets, it can fire 30 rounds per minute."

"Now that this gun is limited, I won't talk much about it. The comrades who were issued guns will take out six school guns tomorrow. Then take out 70 rounds to shoot the target and experience the feeling of your own gun. Let's take the remaining 500 rounds to the battlefield, and I hope that every bullet will not be wasted, and when the battle is over, we will all get together again and I will have a treat." At this time, he forgot to return to this era, he was like everyone else, he was all poor." Let's take a look at who kills more enemies, the target has a high gold content, and see if anyone can break the German Simon. Haihe. Achieved a record of 542 Soviet soldiers sniped with Mosin-Nagant's Finnish-made Model 28 rifle. Do you think it's good? ”

"Okay," everyone replied in unison.

"I'm going to focus on what it takes to be a good sniper. Got the point. That way, no matter what kind of weapon you have in your hand, it will be more useful. They can not only destroy a large number of enemies, but also effectively save themselves. ”

He then focused on the difference between a sharpshooter and a sniper: "For a sniper, a strong body and an iron will are necessary prerequisites, and good marksmanship is only the most basic quality. For snipers, in addition to implementing the concept of sniping and mastering various infantry individual weapons, they should also understand the influence of wind speed on bullets and ranging measurement, and learn to travel in lurk and engage the enemy in concealment. It is necessary to choose tactical maneuver routes, quickly construct firing positions, covertly enter and withdraw from positions, observe and discover hidden targets, and so on. It is necessary to quickly judge the enemy's battlefield organization and firepower allocation, and to be able to accurately judge the enemy's commander. It is also necessary to be good at observing the war zone, determining the location of suspicious sounds, being good at using artificial and natural materials for camouflage, being able to maneuver quickly, and having the ability to endure long-term lurking. In addition, snipers need to accurately interpret maps, which often helps them enter and exit positions and battlefields quickly and safely. For snipers, it is common to choose more than two exit routes, and a safe retreat plan should be chosen before entering the position. Don't run out of the enemy after you finish fighting."

After speaking for a while, Yang Guang asked everyone: "Can you understand what I said?" "Understood," they replied.

Then he talked to everyone, the role of snipers, and the choice of snipers' camouflage positions, and he gave everyone a demonstration while talking.

After five days of short intense training and some on-the-ground group exercises, most of these battle-hardened sharpshooters have completed the initial transition to snipers.

Each person made a suit of gilly clothes, including a hat, a jacket, and trousers, out of sacks and strips of cloth, and a coat of many ropes and strips made of cloth and sacks, which were made of earth. The effect is really good.

18 And they all returned to their respective units. Yang Guang also returned to the 125th Battalion, 5th Company, 1st Platoon, 2nd Battalion, 373rd Regiment, and Wang Baobao.
