Chapter 333: Ultra-long-range sniping

"After the day's fighting, the losses of the vanguard were too great, and more than half of the remaining people were already off the line to rest, and it would take hours to contact them. In addition, we don't have much ammunition left, there is simply no way to support a battle of more than two hours, and the other side is backed by their supply line, there is no supply problem at all, so we can only retreat! The lieutenant colonel continued.

"What if I could buy you two hours?" Qi Lin said suddenly.

"Without using the Vanguard? If you can, then I can find a way to call for reinforcements! The lieutenant colonel's eyes lit up, and he naturally knew that they could spend the night here, thanks to the almost perverted performance of the guy called "9527" in front of him on the battlefield during the day.

"I can try." Qi Lin removed the gun box containing the K1A1 behind him.

"Okay, I'm just contacting support now, and besides, you'd better be prepared to retreat, and I'll send someone to inform the others to be ready to retreat at any time."

It is naturally best not to retreat, otherwise, not only will the one or two thousand people who have gone offline here be directly destroyed by the enemy after going online the next day, but if the alliance wants to recapture the hilly position again, it will definitely have to pay a huge price.

Not to mention anything else, the loss of those power armor and soldiers today alone is tantamount to a waste.

"Then we can get moving!"

The lieutenant colonel left in a hurry with the people, Karachev woke up all the players in the camp and began to contact those who had already gone offline, and Qi Lin picked up the K1A1 Gauss sniper rifle and ran outside.

Running past two mercenary camps, Qi Lin found a sniper point that met the requirements - a makeshift fortification at the top of a hill, an artificially dug earth pit, the edge of which was piled with a circle of sandbags half a meter high.

Qi Lin ran up, rolled over and jumped into the pit, and then mounted the Gauss sniper rifle on top of the sandbag.

It was a full three or four kilometers from the Greyridge Mountains, which was beyond the effective range of most sniper rifles.

At this distance, the bullet fired by a sniper rifle is a parabola with a considerable arc - in other words, to hit the target, an ordinary optical sight is no longer useful.

In order for a bullet to hit a target, it is necessary to raise the muzzle of the gun to a certain extent, in which case the target you want to aim at is already out of sight of the scope.

However, the Gauss sniper rifle is different, under the acceleration of the high-power coil, the kinetic energy attached to the bullet shot by the Gauss sniper rifle is much greater than that of ordinary gunpowder firearms, and the trajectory is also straighter, while the special shape of the spike electromagnetic bullet can minimize the impact of air resistance.

Generally, the theoretical range of a Gauss sniper rifle can reach 10,000 meters, but if you really want to hit the target at a distance of 10,000 meters, it is another matter.

Qi Lin sent an electromagnetic bullet into the chamber of the gun, and the coil in the chamber immediately began to be energized and charged, compared with the original K1 Gauss sniper rifle, the coil and charging module of the K1A1 have also been upgraded in an all-round way, and the charging time has also been shortened from two seconds to one second.

The K1A1 comes with an adjustable scope with a maximum magnification of 16x, and there is no night vision, so at this distance, the red dots are only a little larger than the ants.

But for Qi Lin, it's enough-

"Whoosh-"

The first faint blue electric light pierced the dark night sky and went straight to the Gray Ridge Mountain Range, this shot, Qi Lin was a test shot to observe the impact point, three kilometers away, even if the Eagle Eye was turned on, the virtual trajectory had begun to become very unstable, and sometimes there would be ghosting - that was because at ultra-long distances, any slight factor would have a huge impact on the trajectory.

Moreover, using the eagle eye to aim at a target so far away is also a heavy load on mental power, and Qi Lin is likely to lose his combat effectiveness due to mental power overdraft if he can't fire a few shots.

The electromagnetic bomb dragging the dark blue electric light was still flying in the air, but Qi Lin had already left the Gauss sniper rifle, grabbed the multi-functional tactical telescope left by Karachev, turned on the night vision function, and adjusted the magnification to the highest - now, only he can be his observer.

The bullet from the Gauss sniper rifle hit the hillside, blasting out a large crater, but it was still more than six meters away from Qi Lin's previous target, a large rock on the hillside.

This error is already very small, at this time, as long as the muzzle is offset by a few tenths of a millimeter, the position of the impact point will be tens of meters away.

Through the tactical binoculars, Qi Lin also saw that the soldiers who had slid down the hillside were visibly startled when they found someone shooting here, but then, instead of retreating, they accelerated and ran in the direction of the alliance camp.

"Are you so arrogant when you are discovered? Sure enough, there is no fear......"

Qi Lin was now almost certain that the lieutenant colonel's guess was completely correct - these hundred or so people were probably only the vanguard of this attack, and in the future, Yamato Heavy Industries would definitely put more soldiers into the battlefield.

For the Alliance, the daytime battles are over; For Yamato Heavy Industries, those few hours were only a brief respite - it seemed that the commander of the opposing side was planning to take advantage of the cover of night to regain the lost hilly position from the hands of the Alliance.

The second electromagnetic bomb was quickly charged, and Qi Lin aimed at a Grizzly Brigade special forces soldier wearing an electric welding helmet at the front, and according to the distance indicator ruler in the scope, the distance between this soldier and Qi Lin was 3,300 meters.

Taking a deep breath, Qi Lin held his breath, his whole body seemed to be cast together with the sniper rifle and the sandbag padded under the gun, and then gently pulled the trigger!

A second burst of blue lightning burst out, silently crossing a distance of 3,300 meters, hitting the head, directly shattering his entire upper body and the helmet, and then killing the three people behind the soldier with all his strength, before the bullet was fired into the hard permafrost.

"The wind speed has increased by one meter per second, and the error is about 30 to 40 centimeters." Qi Lin muttered to himself silently.

He originally aimed at the soldier's chest, with the power of the Gauss sniper rifle, as long as it hits the human body, no matter which part is enough to kill people, so he will choose the chest with the largest target and located in the middle of the human body, and the error tolerance rate is relatively higher when shooting this part - if Qi Lin's shot was originally aimed at the head, then now the bullet should be flying out against the top of the opponent's head.
