Chapter 26: The Power of the Silencer

When Zhao Zhi and Mo Lun were discussing the new equipment at the Kunming base, Yu Dazhi, who was far away in Zhangwu County, was also pondering the pile of steel plates sent by Mo Lun, the silencer and bulletproof vest sent by the plane from Kunming, Yu Dazhi was not a stranger, I heard Zhao Zhi say it many times, Mo Lun discussed this matter with Yu Dazhi on the radio when he was trying to produce them. The pile of steel plates that could be removed from the cabin, Yu Dazhi pondered for a long time, and he really couldn't think of what these things were for.

"So, before we got on the plane, Lao Mo said that you must not guess what these steel plates are for, and sure enough, it is true" There were several technicians from the Kunming Arsenal who came to Zhangwu County with the transport plane, including Bell, the designer of the steel fortress. The old Jewish man joked with Yu Dazhi in a spirit that did not correspond to his age, and none of the officers left behind in Zhangwu County, including Yu Dazhi, knew what the pile of steel plates with screws and drilled holes was for, much to the delight of the designer, Bell.

"Everyone, let the elite sappers I brought show you my latest design, the Steel Fortress," Bell ordered, and several sappers who came with the transport plane were busy on the runway of Qinglongping. The steel plates that were originally scattered on the runway became as if they were alive in the hands of the sappers. Under the dull gaze of Yu Dazhi and them, in just a few minutes, a low wall of steel plates appeared on the runway of the airport.

"See, everyone, this is my latest design of the steel fortress, the thickness of these steel plates is 2 centimeters, and the diameter of the drill hole and the screw is the same, that is to say, as long as we have enough steel plates, the sappers can thicken the thickness of the steel fortress without limit" Bell proudly patted the low wall around him that gradually became taller and thicker, "In order to cope with the Japanese monkey fire, I also designed arc and hinged steel plates for this steel fortress, It can be expanded at any time into a real fortress that can accommodate a heavy machine gun and three shooters, and you can choose as many round, square and shooting holes as you like"

"Tsk, this thing is good, but when my team attacks, you can't always carry these steel plates to attack" Yu Dazhi couldn't stop circling around the steel plate wall that had been thickened to 10 floors, where is this steel plate wall, it is completely a steel plate pier with a thickness of 20 centimeters. Not to mention the Japanese grenadier grenades and 92 heavy machine guns, I am afraid that the Japanese army's 75 mountain guns will hit me, and I am afraid that they will not be able to hurt the soldiers hiding behind.

"No, no, Yu, you misunderstood what I meant" Yu Dazhi mentioned the transportation of the steel plate with the team, and Old Bell waved his hand again and again, "This steel fortress of mine is not for you to charge, it is to be used as a fixed fire point in defensive battles." A fortress that could accommodate three soldiers would require 600 steel plates to protect against 75 mountain artillery fire, and the interior of the fort would need to be hung with shock-absorbing linings, which would take time to operate."

"It's been a long time, you're just a decoration, you can only see it, you can't use it" Bell is based on the data when testing the anti-artillery capability at the Kunming base, but Yu Dazhi doesn't believe this. "The targets of my squad are mostly Japanese squadron-level troops, most of them are only equipped with heavy machine guns and light mortars, so this thing does not need to be as thick as 10 layers of steel plates, I estimate that 2 or 3 layers are enough, and we will use the Japanese heavy machine guns and mortars we captured in the afternoon to test it."

"Okay, just do as you say, but you must take me with you when you attack, I want to test the actual combat effect of these new equipment" Bell, an old boy with no combat experience, was clamoring to attack with the team, but how could Yu Dazhi let his mercenaries take him on an adventure, and directly assigned a few fighter pilots to pull the old man to drink, it is estimated that by the time the mercenary team set off with the new equipment, the old man may have already been drunk.

After the mercenary team sent out by Yu Dazhi selected the ambush site according to the reconnaissance, the sappers from Kunming once again showed them a myth, four sappers who acted with the team in front of forty mercenaries, it only took half an hour to build a square semi-underground fortress with steel plates, with two layers of steel plates stacked on the front and one layer of steel plates on both sides. "This is a fucking iron turtle shell, not to mention the little devil's heavy machine gun, it's a mortar bombardment, I guess the people inside are fine" Wang Chen, who led the command, looked at the big iron guy in front of him with a sigh, and his satisfaction could be heard in his words.

"Add some grass and mud to the fort, so that the keeper will not expose the target" The sappers unslashed their sapper shovels and dug to cover the fort, and from a distance, the fort decorated by the sappers was no different from those small dirt bags. The firing holes of the fort were large enough for Browning heavy machine gun fire, and the square fort was also covered with a sound-absorbing cotton lining with steel wire, so that even if the fort was hit by a Japanese mortar shell, the soldiers inside the fort would not be harmed by the sound waves.

"The target is here, everyone be on alert" The lookout post riding on the tree branch made a gesture, and Wang Chen waved his hand again and again to signal his mercenaries to be on guard. "The number of people is 70, there are no heavy machine guns, two light machine guns, 2 mortars, 3 grenadiers, the distance is 400 meters" Wang Chen looked at the gesture made by the lookout post, and called the snipers together softly, "The number of the enemy squad is 70, 400 meters away from us, 2 light machine guns, 2 mortars, 3 grenadiers, it's up to you below."

30 of the 40 mercenaries who followed Wang Chen were snipers, the purpose of their trip was to test the silencer and bulletproof vest, in front of Wang Chen and them, the snipers took out the bulletproof vest from their backpacks, and a sapper who came with them helped them stuff the steel plates into the vests, "We have tested them in Kunming, Japanese 38 rifles and light machine gun bullets can't penetrate these steel plates, but there is still a certain amount of damage to the body, this thing is not omnipotent" Seeing Wang Chen, they were a little surprised by the bulletproof vest, The sniper's squad leader explained with a smile, and Wang Chen and the others knew that the thing the sniper was wearing was originally bulletproof.

First there is a silencer that can be installed on a sniper rifle, then a fortress built with steel plates, and now a bulletproof vest that can block bullets.

"Captain Wang, don't be envious, we just distributed these equipment to you first, and the arsenal said that each of us will have such a thing in the future, maybe there will be better ones in the future" The sniper's squad leader slapped Wang Chen with a smile when he left, leaving his back to Wang Chen and a few of them. The Japanese squad that was walking along the mountain road towards the ambush point did not know that danger was approaching them, and more than 300 meters away from them, 30 black holes were aimed at them.

"The distance is 300, the direction is west, the wind speed is two or three seconds" Looking at the Japanese soldiers slowly approaching in the sniper scope, the sniper squad leader who led the team gave the order to fire freely. According to the outline of Zhang Jinquan's usual training requirements, the snipers in the group will attack the target in the corresponding position of the enemy army in the order of their rank, so the commander who leads the team only needs to give the order to fire, and the Japanese machine gunners, commanders and gunners will be killed by the snipers in the first time.

"Poof", "Bang", "Poof" After the silencer is installed, the sound of the sniper rifle firing is similar to the sound of a balloon bursting, and the flame suppression port on the silencer reduces the gun flame to a minimum, except that the recoil is still the same as before, and the sniper's current shooting effect is very different than before. "Enemy attack, hidden, hidden" watched his commander's head burst and die, and one of the Japanese soldiers shouted loudly and lay on the ground. It's a pity that his voice was too loud, so that the snipers who sorted and filled the leaks noticed him for the first time, and there was a soft sound, shouting that the hidden Japanese army commander had blood arrows on his head and twitched his body.

One after another, the Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, and the Japanese soldiers who were still alive lay on the ground and looked around looking for the attackers, but after installing a silencer, the sound of sniper rifle shooting was so small that the Japanese soldiers more than 200 meters away could not hear the gunshots at all. When the surviving Japanese soldiers judged the path of the bullet based on the trajectory, they suddenly realized that there were less than 20 people left in their 70-man squad, and two-thirds of them had been shot and killed.

"Your hands are too fast, my heavy machine guns are loaded, this guy didn't fire a shot, your side will be finished, next time I won't get a machine gun again" The gunfire gradually stopped, and the heavy machine gunner who stayed in the fortress walked out with his steel helmet in a huff. In less than two minutes from the moment the first bullet was fired out of the chamber, the ambush with the participation of 30 snipers and a heavy machine gun was over, and the heavy machine guns hidden in the fortress did not even get a chance to shoot.

"Oh, after this thing is installed, this gunshot is much smaller" Wang Chen, who smiled, took a sniper rifle, carefully looked at the silencer installed on it, and after adding this steel silencer sleeve, the entire sniper rifle looked a little ridiculous, but its shooting effect was really in front of him, and Wang Chen was not convinced. "It's a pity that only American-style sniper rifles can use this gadget, and there are a few snipers under my command who use Japanese-style sniper rifles, if those guns can also use this, it will be much easier to replenish bullets in the future."
