Chapter 219: Sniper Shows Might

The horse bandits' horse team, into the Black Mountain Pass, went deep into the distance of almost 3 kilometers, the horse bandits walked unhurriedly, Wang Jinming's heart, completely let go, when the distance, the other side of the valley, sent a signal of readiness, he sat down calmly, waved his hand behind him, behind him, 30 soldiers who were slightly different from ordinary soldiers, and carried slightly different guns, began to enter the stealth state, along the ridge, began to walk to their own positions.

These soldiers, their rifles, the barrel is a little longer than the ordinary barrel, and the most important thing is that on the body of the gun, there is a scope, which is completely different from ordinary guns.

Sniper rifles, in this time and space in 1908, the whole world, there are not many people studying firearms, in Baotou, with the help of the all-in-one machine, barely produced, the current sniper rifle, simply not up to the professional Cheng dù of later generations, or ordinary Mauser, can be processed and strengthened, or only the barrel.

A gun, a simple lengthened barrel, can produce an advantage in range at most, and even cause a series of problems, Yang Yuanzhao can't take care of so much, the strengthened barrel, redraw the rifling, so that the bullet is at a distance of 800 meters, and still has greater accuracy, not the range of three or four hundred meters of Mauser in this era, specially designed sniper scope, with the help of the results of the microscope, within the range of 800 meters, about 4 times the scope, so that soldiers with shooting talent can snipe targets freely, Even beyond 1000 meters, it has enough lethality.

Of course, in order to ensure lethality, the warhead chosen was not round-headed, but pointed, with a larger caliber and strengthened gunpowder.

Such a striflage gun was delivered more than half a month ago, but as soon as it was equipped, Wang Jinming keenly saw the advantage from the middle.

What is the army, it is a killing machine, it can kill the enemy quickly and efficiently, it is the key to the army's combat effectiveness, this point, it seems that the sniper rifle is not good, after all, the projection ability formed by the strong horizontal barrage of the machine gun, as well as the deterrent power generated by the artillery, the sniper rifle seems to be much worse.

But there is one thing that cannot be replaced by sniper rifles, that is, the lethality of bullets, which is a problem that will be studied in World War I, the two armies are opposed, both sides are industrial countries, have enough artillery, and a large number of assembled machine guns, a war, or even a battle, the projected firepower is an astronomical amount, but in the case of perfect trenches and fortifications, how much is the lethality, and therefore, the sniper began to come to the stage, about its weapons, was developed.

Wang Jinming doesn't know this, he just realistically sees the role of the sniper rifle, some of the top shooters themselves can be in the range of 200 meters, where to fight, no matter how much, you can only rely on experience and luck, the success rate of shooting will drop significantly, but 200 meters, for the current army, is a very important front, generally, without a certain cooperation, few people will rush to the 200 meters range, even if they rush, I am afraid that the reaction time left for you is also very little, In this case, there is not much effect of the shooter.

With a sniper rifle, accurate shooting at a range of 600 meters, ordinary shooters can do it, especially excellent, and it can even be extended to 800 meters, this kind of accuracy is very critical for small-scale operations.

This is also the fundamental reason why he would rather just carry a weapon with him, but also bring a sniper rifle, in the wilderness, in the face of a horse team, how much stability will be brought by doubling the range or even more.

30 snipers lurked on top of the hill, this is a specially determined position, the best concealment position, in front, those red turban troops are about 2 kilometers away from the exit, enough for them to be in place.

One-eyed Hu is a bandit, in the northeast for many years, in addition to killing people like hemp, carefulness is also a great characteristic, it seems that since yesterday, he feels restless, as if something is happening, especially into the valley, his feeling is more keen, it seems that around, someone is staring at him, but look around carefully, but there is no trace.

Could it be an illusion, one-eyed nonsense smiled, the older the rivers and lakes are, the more timid they are, is it not beaten and fled, run to the northwest where to rob, too tired, just go back and rest, with the harvest of this ticket, after selling, get a batch of firearms, maybe, it will be more famous than before, Baotou is really a good place, turn back, find an opportunity, and go again.

The convoy is slowly approaching the valley, 30 snipers are also in place one by one, the scope has begun to aim, the target person is a necessary training project for snipers, here is no exception, about the portrait of the leader, has long been familiar, they also used gestures respectively, began to determine the target to be aimed at, without exception, even if it is not a leader or something, at least it is a gun, which is very eye-catching among the horse bandits.

The horse bandits moved forward slowly, the valley blocked the cold north wind, and the bandits seemed to be alive, not cursing the coachman, telling them to hurry, the journey was about to end, and they would soon be able to return to the old den and enjoy their own happiness.

Immediately, the one-eyed beard squinted at the 170 carts, and in his eyes, these would become murderous weapons that would lead him to rise in the Northeast. But then, his face changed, he finally noticed that there was something different, the surroundings were too quiet, you know, even in winter, in the wild forests of the northeast, there are still some birds and animals, they have been in this valley for so long, they have not heard a bird call, did not hear a beast roar, this is absolutely unusual, the experienced one-eyed Hu waved his hand, and shouted loudly: "Stop!" ”

In the distance, Wang Jinming saw the movement of the one-eyed Hu and sneered: "It's very clever, but it's too late!" Then he made a gesture, and the trumpeter behind him quickly took out a cornet and blew the order to attack.

Tick tock, tick tock, the sudden sound of the horn, in the wilderness of the northeast, seems so abrupt, this convoy is in chaos, the horsemen are fleeing in all directions, and the horse bandits on the horse, are also looking around, some people are even at a loss to shoot, the surrounding grass, and the distant woods, such a mess, there is no effect at all.

In the chaos of guns, the sniper rifle here began to fire, different from the ordinary Mauser, the sound of the sniper rifle is a little louder, if it is carefully carved, maybe the silencer tube will be made, but unfortunately Yang Yuanzhao knows little about military production, and it is already luck and innovation to be able to make such a batch of sniper rifles.

The distinctive snapping sound of the sniper rifle sounded, and a group of horse thieves in the front row, some squad leaders, and even the leaders of the crowd were the first to be taken care of, especially the one-eyed beard, at least three guns were aimed at him, ready to kill him in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that they were all dodged by one-eyed Hu, he has always been cautious, did not leak himself in the front of the team, his own shooting angle is a little insufficient, in the case of sudden fright, he is not looking for the enemy, but to find a carriage corner, hidden, by the way, pulled a horse over, the horse and the carriage, completely blocked his shooting boundary, finally, three guns, at least 2 hit the horse's body, the horse died, he hid there and did not come out, the tall horse corpse, and the carriage, Blocked him tightly.

The whole scene was in a mess, including several masters, squad leaders, and everyone was shot in the head, or killed, or seriously injured at the first time, the horse bandits themselves are not an organized force, more often, they can only fight with the wind, maybe in the mutual interception, there is cooperation, but this kind of sudden blow is definitely not something they can deal with, especially before they see the enemy, they die, and the pressure is even greater.

"The first wave killed 17 people, more than half of them were leaders, the whole horse bandit was in chaos, it seems that we don't need to take action, just these snipers, this thing is really powerful!" Behind Wang Jinming, Qin Bing said with some astonishment.

The sniper rifle is a new product in Baotou, even the Baotou militia is only equipped with 30, and it has not been placed on Feng Yuxiang's side, Qin Bing is not very familiar with its efficacy, but according to his own imagination, the plan formulated can be killed from 800 meters away, which is very effective for controlling the overall situation, they are also the first wave of shooting, only when he really went to the scene to observe, he knew that he really underestimated the role of the sniper rifle, not to mention the organized troops, well-trained troops will be the first time to encounter an attack, React, cover each other, find fixed cover, and fight back, but the horse thieves can't, they are all in chaos, there are only a few hundred people, and even fewer with guns, as long as they kill those with guns, and the rest of them meet the soldiers armed to the teeth, they are a tragedy.

The sound of sniper rifles continued to sound, the magazine of 5 bullets, the use of pointed bullets, the lethality was extremely amazing, the shadow of death, shrouded the body of every horse bandit, the leader was either hit, or killed, no one stood up to organize, even the enemy did not know where the enemy was, they could only be chaotic, people ran and neighed, the scene was chaotic, most of the people subconsciously ran backwards.

A large number of horse bandits ran backwards like this, and saw a qiē bugler from a high place, and blew the horn again, in fact, there is no need to remind, snipers know, the back is the focus of the sniper blockade, after the first two hits, when the horse bandits ran backwards, they consciously guided the horse bandits, 800 meters of shooting range, for the shooting accuracy of mobile personnel, can not reach 100% Cheng dù, but a large number of kills and bullet trajectory, let everyone know that it is a dead end.

After killing and wounding dozens of horse bandits, the remaining horse bandits seemed to be afraid of something, turned their horses' heads, and rushed towards the other side, seeing that most of the horse bandits were heading towards the direction of the exit, Qin Bing sighed and said, "The general trend has been decided!" ”

As soon as Qin Bing's words fell, there was movement again in the group of horse bandits, and a carriage suddenly started up and rushed in the direction from which it came. RS
