Light and heavy machine guns, this is a necessary weapon for special forces, otherwise there is no ferocious firepower, how can it compete with the regular army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Light and heavy machine guns are only one aspect, though.

Li Weiguo took great pains to deal with the special forces, and took out almost all the advanced weapons and equipment that he knew and that could be manufactured by the end of the 19th century.

In addition to semi-automatic rifles and light and heavy machine guns, the standard close-range combat self-defense pistols naturally need not be detailed, and the most powerful is a sniper rifle.

The sniper rifle appeared a long time ago, and this is also Li Weiguo's highest priority to develop individual weapons and equipment, earlier than light and heavy machine guns.

At first, Li Weiguo used a limited number of sniper rifles to assassinate important people in the opposing camp.

Li Weiguo was very careful to avoid the sniper rifle being known to the Western world too early, so when selecting snipers, loyalty was the first priority, but anyone with the slightest suspicion could not become a sniper.

During the battle, they shot and killed the enemy's souls, senior commanders, artillerymen, machine gunners, etc., disrupting the enemy's command system and making it easier for the Chinese Imperial Army to win the victory.

In the camp of the Western powers, there was no shortage of capable people, who soon realized the existence of this secret special forces unit of the Chinese Imperial Army.

However, they did not suspect the sniper rifle, but believed that the Chinese Imperial Military had trained a group of sharpshooters alone, and in battle, sharpshooters played a huge role.

During the American Civil War, the commander of the Southern Army was shot by sharpshooters, thus turning the situation around, which is already known to the whole world, and Western military experts deduced that the so-called special forces in the Chinese Imperial Army were an elite sharpshooter troops.

Over the years, the armies of Western countries have also begun to vigorously train sharpshooters, and they have also imitated the Chinese Empire and called sharpshooters special forces snipers.

It's just that they couldn't have imagined that a sniper is not only a sharpshooter, but also relies on a sniper rifle, and the combination of the two can be called a sniper, and then combined with modern special operations theory, it can be called a special force.

In fact, by combining a telescope and a rifle, you can form the most primitive sniper rifle.

This seems like a very simple thing, but the military of the Western countries of the world did not think of it.

Therefore, among the armies of the Western powers, their special forces snipers still use traditional rifles, but the barrel accuracy has been specially selected, and the highest accuracy is equipped for snipers to use as sniper rifles.

In this way, although the snipers of the Western powers were also born, the attack distance depended on the sniper's eye, and even the best hunter sniper, his eyesight could not exceed 200 meters.

The snipers of the Chinese Empire, in addition to having the eyesight of hunters, also need the help of sniper scopes to make them clearly see targets at a greater distance.

In the sixties, the earliest model of sniper rifle designed by Li Weiguo, the sniper scope used was very rough, and the magnification was only about 1.2~2.0, and in the late seventies, the Chinese Empire did not have to rely on the West at all in the processing and manufacturing of optical equipment, and the self-produced lenses could reach 3.5 times the clarity.

By the 90s, the Chinese Empire had completely thrown off the Western powers in terms of optics. Even Zeiss, the strongest in the German Empire, had to send people to the Chinese Empire to learn from the Royal Optoelectronics Manufacturing Group.

The latest type of optical sight manufactured and produced by the Imperial Chinese Imperial Optoelectronics has been reflected in the naval gun sighting system. The naval guns of the Imperial Chinese Navy have a higher hit rate than the navies of Western countries at ultra-long distances, and the biggest contributor is the advanced optical sights.

And Li Weiguo personally designed a sniper scope with scale value and wind deviation adjustment, and the 15x pitch sniper scope was manufactured.

The sniper rifle is called the Patriotic Sniper Rifle, which is basically the same as the Patriotic Rifle and the Patriotic Semi-Automatic Rifle in appearance, but it is not just an extra slide rail, and an extra sniper scope on it.

The internal structure of the sniper rifle has been slightly adjusted, and the ordinary Patriotic rifle has a capacity of 10 rounds, which is a 7.62 standard rifle cartridge. The sniper rifle, on the other hand, has only 5 rounds and can only shoot a single shot. In order to accurately shoot the target, although the caliber of the bullet is also 7.62, the length of the bullet has been significantly longer, and it is filled with more ******.

Normally, even if a sniper walks around outside with a sniper rifle, no one else can see how his sniper rifle is different from theirs.

You won't notice the rail until you look closely, but it's impossible to understand what it's for.

Snipers, on the other hand, are only allowed to attach a sniper scope to a sniper rifle when there is no one else around them during the battle.

When the sniper scope and rifle are combined, it will become a sniper rifle, and the sniper will live up to its name.

All this is for the sake of secrecy, and all kinds of rules are formulated by Li Weiguo himself.

Although it looks like that, it has to be said that it is effective, because so far no real sniper rifle has been born in Western countries.

The patriotic sniper rifle, plus the sniper scope, magazine and bipod, weighs 7.9 kg, is 1.3 meters long, 7.62 caliber, has a scale range of 1500 meters, an effective range of 1000 meters, and the best effective killing distance is 400~800 meters.

The tactics of the three hundred special forces led by Duan Qirui accounted for fifty snipers alone, which is a very high proportion.

However, this is also a matter of no choice, after all, the sniper rifle is easy to carry, unlike the heavy machine gun, which needs to be carried by several people after disassembly, which is more flexible.

The individual equipment of special forces also includes various hand radiums, including flash grenades, smoke bombs, tear gas, flares, etc., tactical daggers, special ground radiums, reconnaissance equipment, camouflage equipment, etc.

In addition to individual weapons, special forces were the first to be equipped with mortars.

This time, Duan Qirui's blade commando team brought 8 mortars for fire support in mountain combat.

In terms of equipment alone, although the Blade Commando has only 301 people, its firepower is equivalent to the firepower of a regiment of traditional Western troops. It is not an exaggeration to say that every special forces soldier is a king of soldiers, and with the addition of equipment technology and special tactics, the combat effectiveness is equivalent to that of a division and regiment.

Duan Qirui and his Blade Commando are just the vanguard troops, the Chinese Imperial Volunteers, and I am afraid that it will be delayed for a while before they arrive. Most likely, it was drawn from the Ethiopian battlefield, but only if the Boers were defeated, and only if the Boers were defeated, the Chinese Empire would have an excuse to send troops to help.

In this way, Duan Qirui's role is very crucial, he can neither let the British win too smoothly, nor let the Boers win, test his command and combat ability, as well as the overall grasp of the overall situation of the South African battlefield.

However, Duan Qirui had a strategy in his heart.

He had to first knock out the logistics supply lines of the British army, so that the British army would worry about logistics supplies, and the front line would not be able to attack with all its might, and it would be better to lose both with the Boers.

Johannesburg will stage an unprecedented general battle, and the Boers will hold on to Johannesburg, with the help of the military commanders and advisors of the Chinese Empire, it will inevitably be to build high walls, dig deep trenches, and spread pillboxes and radium.

This tactic was best used by military experts in the Chinese Empire, because there was already the Battle of Havana during the Spanish-American War.

The backward Spanish army, with the help of the Chinese Empire, dragged down the United States and forced Grant to give up Cuba, the biggest reason for this is the radium all over the mountains, no matter how much you dig it, you can't dig it all, and the US army is so tired that it can't vomit blood in the end.

In fact, this tactic was first adopted by the Chinese Empire, and in the first few Sino-British wars, the Chinese Imperial Army used this tactic to trap the British army. Especially during the Battle of Guam, in the face of the fierce siege of hundreds of thousands of British troops without falling, it was finally included in the military textbooks of countries around the world, and was cited as a classic example of war, which was widely circulated in the Western world.

The Boers also knew this tactic, so they attached great importance to the military assistance of the Chinese Empire, and with the help of the Military Advisory Group of the Chinese Empire, they built a defensive position near Johannesburg, although it was impossible to build fortress fortifications in a hurry, but the trenches, machine gun bunkers, barbed wire, and radium areas could be quickly arranged, especially the radium, in addition to putting all the radium aid from the Chinese Empire, the Boers also directly paid fifty tons of gold to purchase the weapons and equipment of the Chinese Empire, including radium on the bare ground, That's up to 1 million.

In the words of President Transvaal: "If the British army dares to attack Johannesburg, send the British army to heaven with a million radiums." ”

For the weaker side, the importance of radium is self-evident, the cost is small, and the effect is fast. For the powerful countries, this kind of radium tactics is a nightmare for the powerful countries, and the United States has suffered a big loss, until now, when the US military thinks of the dense minefield in Havana, its scalp is numb, and its legs are weak.

Duan Qirui believed that as long as the Boers set up a large number of minefields around Johannesburg with the help of the Imperial Chinese Military Advisory Group, it would be enough for the British army to vomit blood, and it would be absolutely difficult to break through in a short period of time.

Therefore, striking the logistical supply lines of the British army became a good way to make the British army uncomfortable.

"Report, a British convoy has been spotted coming!"

Just as he was about to hunt, the prey arrived.

Duan Qirui immediately ordered battle preparations, and the three hundred sharp-bladed special combat soldiers quickly dispersed and ambushed on the mountains on both sides of the road.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the British truck in front of it touched radium and exploded instantly, raising a fiery red mushroom cloud.

"Enemy attack! Hurry back! ”

A British officer, who looked very clever, noticed that the truck in front of him had been bombed, immediately realized that there was an ambush, and hurriedly ordered the rear vehicle to turn around and withdraw.

It's just that what he thought of, Duan Qirui naturally thought of it a long time ago.

Boom!

There was another loud bang, and a British truck at the back was also bombed.

The road in front and behind was blocked in an instant, and more than 20 British trucks were intercepted.

British trucks stopped one after another, and more than 100 British soldiers jumped from them.

"Hit!"

Duan Qirui gave an order, and the soldiers of the Blade Commando opened fire one after another.

Da-da-da-da! Da-da-da-da!

Ten Thunderbolt heavy machine guns fired ferociously, the rate of fire was faster than that of the Bloody Heavy Machine Gun, and the ferocity was unmatched.

I saw an overwhelming array of bullets, and in the blink of an eye, a piece of flesh and blood flew sideways.

The British troops hid in place, looked for cover, and fired back.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The characteristic sniper rifle bullet pierced the sky and emitted a piercing howl, instantly bursting the head of the British commander.

The British panicked, some of them were shot and killed, and several British soldiers, thinking they were smart, hid behind a large rock.

This is just the shooting dead end!

But it didn't matter, soon the portable mortars of the Blade Commando opened fire, and the shells fell accurately behind the large rocks and exploded with a bang.

Boom!

Several British soldiers were killed in an instant, and they did not understand why the shell turned until they died.

The first battle went surprisingly well, and more than a hundred British troops were quickly killed, in less than five minutes.

Duan Qirui was not too interested in such a battle, because he couldn't bring out the true strength of the Blade Commando at all.

"Report, the truck is loaded with weapons, ammunition and supplies of the British army!"

"Pick up some supplies, let's keep them for ourselves, and notify the nearby Boer army to come and get them away, if you can't get them, they will be blown up!"

"Yes!"

……

The elimination of the British truck fleet was carried out, and while it angered the British base camp in Cape Town, it was not taken seriously enough.

Chamberlain didn't realize that the Chinese Empire's Shence Army had secretly participated in the war, and his intelligence showed that the Chinese Empire was indeed organizing a volunteer army, but the mainland was too far away, and it would take several months to reach South Africa, and the Balkan Battlefield and the Ethiopian Battlefield had not yet ended.

In Chamberlain's view, even if the Chinese Empire sent troops, it could only be sneaky, in the name of the Volunteer Army, the scale would not be too large, and the British army would be enough to deal with.

Moreover, Chamberlain believed that the British army had already reached Frankfurt, and it was estimated that Johannesburg could be taken in a few days, and it was estimated that the Boers in the Transvaal would inevitably surrender, and the war would soon be over.

Chamberlain's strategy of quick victory was to completely end the war before the volunteers of the Chinese Empire or the volunteers of Europe arrived in South Africa, creating a fait accompli, so that the Chinese Empire and the European countries could only stare dryly and helplessly.

However, in the following week, the British offensive on the outer front of Johannesburg was blocked, and 50,000 elite British troops were blocked by the Boer army's trenches, pillboxes, and radium all over the mountains.

Not to mention the heavy casualties of the British troops on the front line, the logistical supply was hit one after another, and 15 convoys were lost one after another, so that the British troops on the front line were seriously short of supplies.

This incident finally aroused Chamberlain's great attention, and he immediately sent heavy troops to escort the convoy along the way.

In response to the heavy British escort convoy, Duan Qirui's tactics were very simple, planting mines on the road, and when the British convoy stopped, he used snipers to shoot the driver and the British commander from a long distance.

After coming and going, even if the British army had heavy troops to protect the convoy, it also delayed the transportation time, causing the British troops on the front line to be in turmoil and had no intention of fighting again.

In the middle of the night on May 2, 1893, the Boer army, which was cowering in the trenches and pillboxes, suddenly poured out and took the initiative to attack the British position.

Because the British army has been on the offensive side for a month, the Boer army has been passively defending and has never counterattacked, which made the British careless, and as a result, the British army was caught off guard, and the main force of 50,000 British troops was routed, with more than half of the dead and wounded.

The British army was completely defeated, and the Boer army pursued all the way until the British army was driven back to Cape Town, and less than 3,000 of the 50,000 British troops remained.

The Boer army took advantage of the victory to besiege Cape Town, and it was the turn of the British to defend it. (To be continued.) )
