Chapter 350: The Sniper's World
How good-looking is Shidorenko? A few decades later, a Russian singer who became popular all over the world looked a bit like him, and the singer's big name was Vitas, but Vitas lacked Hitarenko's fortitude and military temperament that he couldn't pretend. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As a sniper, no matter what you look like, no one will live much longer than the other in front of the crosshairs, and Shidorenko knows this very well: he did not waste his time on the relationship between men and women, and he was determined to become the best sniper in the world!
The entire Leningrad freight station was busy, surrounded by 85-mm anti-aircraft guns with their barrels raised high, mountains of military supplies, and stevedores and soldiers busily unloading and loading.
Bidding farewell to the soldiers escorting the car, the three got out of the car and walked outside the station. No one bothered them, and a field uniform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was their best identification.
"It seems that if you want to say hello to the station, this will be a blind monkey who can blow up the whole station by throwing a grenade!" Seeing this, Jijin, who had spent a few days in the counterintelligence department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, thought that he wanted to say hello to the guards.
Both Gurov and Shidorenko agreed, and through the unloaded fighters found the officer in charge of the security of the station. In response to the reminder of the officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the major in charge also recognized the problem: just as now, the three officers were completely free in the station, and no one thought to ask about their identities - because their uniforms represented their own people. If German spies were to get involved, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Although that was unlikely, small units of German makeup had already appeared on the front, and Leningrad had to defend against them. After expressing his gratitude, the major also helped Gurov solve the biggest problem of the moment - sending them cars. Gurov had been to the Leningrad sniper school before, and it was about 20 kilometers from the freight station, and it would take three hours to walk there.
Military convoys can be seen on the road at all times, and the drivers are constantly talking about the current situation in Leningrad - a large-scale movement of troops is taking place, and every day a large number of troops from the rear supporting the Northern Front (Leningrad Front) arrive by train. Half an hour they saw their destination today: the school was on the outskirts of Leningrad, surrounded by greenery, and would have looked peaceful had it not been for the armed sentry at the door.
Saying goodbye to the driver, the three got out of the car and walked to the sentry box.
The sergeant major on duty saluted the three officers, "Hello, we have come to the instructor Captain Vasily Grigorievich Zaitsev, this is our ID. ”
Gurov informed the intention of coming, and the sergeant immediately answered the phone, and after receiving a positive answer, he signaled the sentry to open the barricade: "Captain Vasily is in Building No. 1, go straight for 300 meters and turn left for 100 meters, three floors, he will pick you up there." ”
Concise and to the point, it is completely in line with the characteristics of the sniper school, and by no means does it say that these sentries are actually cadets, not full-time sentinels.
"Why are you here?" Vasily was very happy today, he didn't expect that the brothers of the guards would come to him, and when he saw it, it seemed that he had been "kicked out" as he had been at the beginning!
Gurov and Zigin gave Vasily a bear hug and pulled Shidorenko: "This is Comrade Ivan Sidorenko, your successor, an excellent sniper. ”
This can be regarded as acquaintance, the Kremlin guard's order clearly states that three people will be allowed to participate in front-line battles, and the specific tasks will be arranged by Vasily.
"You have come at the right time, the school has been mobilized, and the first academies have gone to the north. The Finns are attacking there, but the attack is not fierce, and good snipers are needed, so I will go with the second group and set off tonight. ”
"Get us three observers." Gurov spoke straightforwardly, and there was nothing polite to his brothers.
"No problem, if those boys knew that they could become your observers, they would probably have to fight first, haha!"
This is to blame Vasily, who is already an idol among the cadets of the school, but he usually says: "I am not the best, it turns out that in the Vice-Commander's Guard, the skills and qualities of several other snipers are the top." "This time they all came, and of course the comrades who had heard Vasily's story would like to become observers of the top snipers - not only the chances of gaining achievements and honors, but also the chances of survival.
Vasily's observer, Ludvik, who had already received the rank of second lieutenant and served as a teacher at the school, would again partner Vasily on the front line. The cadets of the sniper school are generally sharpshooters recommended by various field units, and the personnel composition is varied (referring to the composition before joining the army): there are the sons of Siberian hunters, the top students of the Moscow amateur shooting school, and there are also people who have never touched a gun before joining the army, but all of them have one common characteristic - they are already sharpshooters in their respective units before they arrive at the school.
Far from being snipers, schools and instructors are training these people to be real snipers who can shoot targets in any environment and protect themselves. Except for a few comrades and auxiliary staff who can no longer go to the front line due to physical reasons, the teaching staff of this school is not fixed, and like sniper schools all over the world, it generally adopts a rotation system.
From time to time, snipers from various military regions who have participated in actual combat come to the school to teach temporarily for three months or six months, but this time, in turn, a group of instructors will be transferred as the backbone of the front-line professional sniper units, and those trainees will also become school instructors if they can live long enough after being tested in actual combat.
The purpose of the sniper school is to constantly let comrades with actual combat experience teach and let students learn the most practical techniques.
The school leadership did not participate in the assignment of the snipers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but Vasily did it alone - they were all going to the border area north of Soltavala, where the Finns' infantry units were entangled with the Red Army.
There are two different parts of snipers in the Red Army, the first is the shooters with outstanding marksmanship in the troops (including regimental and battalion-level units), and the troops will distribute sniper rifles equipped with PU scopes, and the second is systematically trained snipers like Vasily, generally there are dozens of people in each army-level unit, and the tasks are directly assigned by the senior commander. Like this time, Gurov's mission was to make the Finns in the northern forests quieter and hold the battle line in place.
Several excellent sniper teams can play a terrifying role in cooperation with other troops, of course, provided that they are suitable for the environment of sniper operations - this is also what Lin Jun considered: if you let Sidorenko and them go to the west, it will be useless at all, the Red Army and the German army are fighting large-scale mechanized three-dimensional offensive and defensive battles in the west, and there is not much of a big deal without snipers. Leningrad's Northern Front was able to play its role, and for various reasons it was destined to be a tug-of-war with a basically fixed front, and the Finnish snipers were also a headache for their opponents.
Three snipers are not worth mentioning for the war as a whole, but if they can be as good as "historically", it will boost the morale of the army. Besides, Lin Jun didn't want them to waste it in his own guards, so he still let them use their strength to fight for their own honor and kill the enemy to serve the country.
After the Soviet-Finnish war, the Finns increased their military strength because they had the support of the Western world - both in the United States and more in Nazi Germany. Hitler wanted to talk about Finland tied to the chariots of the Third Reich, but the Finns seemed to want nothing more than to regain those territories lost in the Soviet-Finnish war. However, this time it was the Red Army who were waiting in the bunkers, and it was difficult to make progress in the summer with the little heavy equipment of Finland.
The original "Mannarin" line was not the main target of the Finnish attack, and the Red Army had rebuilt the line left by the Finns, where the Finns would have been to hit the stone with an egg. Field Marshal Mannahim targeted the attack further north-west - at noon on 3 June, the Finnish army not only attacked in the forest area, but also tried to retake the mouth of the Arctic Ocean, only to be met by the Red Army in the north. Now the Finnish army learned wisely, and aimed at the border line break, where they were familiar with the terrain.
Most of the Red Army units that had participated in the Soviet-Finnish war had already left the Leningrad Military District, and the pressure on the Western Front was even greater, so Rokossovsky boldly proposed to transfer an army group to Tukhachevsky's Baltic Front, and he would have to rely on limited forces to hold back the Finns - the Finnish army was not numerous and equipped, and its combat effectiveness could not be compared with that of the German army, which would put Rokossovsky under much less pressure than Tukhachevsky.
Since it will be pulled out tonight, the Gurov still have some work to prepare. Vasily picked out the observers, and at the school's shooting range, Gurov mounted his Mosin-Nagant rifles with scopes and robbed them.
The trainees saw a zoom sight that was available only on the data, and all three of Gurov used it and got used to it. This time it was to participate in the field, "why not use PU?" "The young trainees in training were a little confused at once.
"These three, shoot within 150 meters without eyes, with hands." Vasily knew why, Gurov and Zigin had seen the ability: within 150 meters, he could aim quickly by hand, without looking at the scope at all (this is not surprising, almost a third of the veterans of the infantry wing of the main division of Little Japan in 37 years were able to hit a human target 150 miles away while marching in a straggler charge, which was all trained). )!
