Chapter 481: Goodbye Veteran Sniper Team
The appearance of the steam car did not make the natives feel anything particularly strange, after all, there are many black technologies in the Senate, and everything that can fly in the sky has appeared, and now it is just a strange car emitting black smoke on the ground. However www.biquge.info because this twin-cylinder steam engine is lying horizontally on the engine of the car, and the boiler is extremely heavy, the height of this steam car is quite high, and the height of the chassis reaches about one meter. The chassis of the whole car is made of steel, but the cockpit and cargo compartment in the upper part of the body are made of wood, which is suitable for the strength of the wooden structure and can reduce the weight of the whole vehicle. Because the chassis is too high, the position of the driver's seat has reached about 1.3 meters, and the position of the top of the cockpit has reached about 3 meters, which is twice the height of the Rolls-Royce as the main means of transportation.
Although the two drivers of the car were a little blackened by the soot, they did not feel tired at all, not at all like the tired dogs of the Rolls-Royce drivers in front of them, and they couldn't help but smile and wave to them when they saw these Rolls-Royce drivers looking back.
"Meow, steam car ......" Li Yuan touched the wounds on his body, he was injured in several places in the battle of Champong Port. The wound on the buttocks is better, at least I don't feel it if I don't make a big move, but the arrow wounds on the thighs and shoulders are not easy to say, I didn't know at the time that this was just a sharpened wooden arrow, and the naturalized civilian military doctor also honestly cut the wound and examined it carefully, but in addition to being able to better clean the wound, it was not an egg. The only trouble caused by the wound incision is that the area where the wound needs to heal is also quite large, and now he sits in the back seat like a good baby, and he does not dare to exert force on his feet, but only moves with the movement of the foot pedal, otherwise if the wound is touched, it feels quite painful.
The speed of the steam car is only six or seven kilometers per hour at this time, it is driving at the slowest speed, Li Yuan can see that the car driver in the distance is helplessly chatting with the people around him, the appearance of the steam car can be regarded as a big innovation, but the load of the car is too low, among the trucks brought from the old time and space, the steam car is the largest but the smallest load, which is inevitably a little out of place. In contrast, the transport sector was pleased to see the steam engine used in trains and ships. Especially now there are no rubber tires, compared with the smooth navigation of large ships and the smoothness of train tracks, the requirements of the car relative to the road conditions are relatively high, if this kind of steam car leaves the smooth dirt road of the Oriental Port, it can not run normally at all, and the violent bumps are likely to cause the leakage of the steam pipeline and cause accidents.
Today's convoy was responsible for delivering the last shipments to Shabak before the war, including food and ammunition, which included a large number of ready-to-eat rations produced by the Port Orient Food Factory. These rations are a new change from the grain bricks used to equip the troops before the Battle of Champong Port, and fishmeal has been added to them to improve the taste. This kind of ready-to-eat ration is a lumpy ration made by boiling paste and dehydrating it through steam, but some veterans of the military department reported that this kind of ready-to-eat ration tasted too bad and was really as hard to chew as a brick. The veterans of the military department gave this ready-to-eat ration a new name, the molar brick, and some of the veterans even carried this ration with them, claiming that they could be used as bricks when they were in close contact with the enemy. In field conditions, few people in the army will directly gnaw on this thing, and most people boil this ration lump in water and drink it after boiling it into a paste. In addition, some of the rations dehydrated by steam are too dry, some are not dry enough, and there are no plastic bags to pack these rations, and the fishmeal mixed in them will sometimes smell bad or burnt, which makes people smell a little unappetizing. Now this batch of rations in the food factory is the last batch, and after the distribution of this batch of rations is completed, the production of rations will still return to the previous formula, so that the taste will not be so bad.
In order to make up for the bad evaluation of the bad taste of this batch of rations, the Army Logistics Department specially asked the Planning Commission to distribute a batch of newly put into production canned tinplate to Shabak, which was put into production only after the gap in tinplate was solved some time ago. It was filled with a variety of cans, including canned spinach, canned mashed potatoes, canned eight-treasure rice, and canned fish, which was the most popular among soldiers. These tinned iron cans have good corrosion resistance, are not easy to break, and are easy to carry, and are widely favored by users. Especially after the production of canned fresh vegetables some time ago, when the commerce department promoted this canned food to the Maidno people, the Maidno people were about to go crazy, you know, as a sea people, their craving for vegetables is as crazy as a starving man seeing food. Although the people of Maidno do not know the pathology of scurvy, the feeling of being able to eat vegetables on the sea thousands of miles from the coast is no less precious than the delicacies of the mountains and seas. As a result, the industrial sector had to urgently produce a batch of tinplate canning lines to ensure that the rush to buy cans by Medeno people would not be interrupted.
Now Cheng Jun feels a little sad that this batch of canned food was pulled directly out of the factory warehouse, but he can't help it, after all, the big war is coming, and the needs of the troops are above all else. As Zhao Ximin and Nguyen Wei's corps had approached within 20 kilometers, all the troops had entered a state of first-class combat readiness, and heavily armed army units were marching on the road to the south. According to the requirements, they will open up a camp in the jungle north of Shabak, hide in the camp and wait for fighters when the battle comes, and in the event of an emergency in Shabak, they will rush to the aid of Shabak as soon as possible to protect the Foreign Legion from serious damage. Two companies of the Marines are now moving west along the Boundary River, and according to the Air Force's report, they have reversed into the area about 10 kilometers northwest of Shabak to open up a new camp there -- it is not that they do not want to travel a little further, but it is completely beyond the range of radio and voice transmission, and if it is transmitted by wireless telegraphy, it will be too cumbersome and can easily cause the fighters to be delayed.
There was a fairly large area of flat land to the south of the Marine Corps, and Maruyama, chief of staff of the Foreign Legion, suggested to the Joint Chiefs of Staff that this would be a place for them to stock up on food once the South Bank Army attacked. At the beginning of the battle, if they were able to go straight to the grain depot and burn it down, it would inevitably be able to seriously shake the morale of the South Bank Army, so the task of the Marine Corps was to attack the grain depot with the assistance and guidance of the air force aircraft after the battle began.
There is still a special unit on the road now, and Li Yuan basically knows the people of this unit, this is still the veteran sniper team that showed its might in the last battle to defend the port of Zhancheng, and this group of veterans took the initiative to ask for war in the executive committee and asked to go to the front line facing the enemy. Now in front of the gun to lead the way is the executive committee member Xiao Jing, Du Yande especially wants to come, the sniper team has higher requirements for the vision of the elders, although Du Yande can meet the standard, but he has been a soldier in the army before, and several other executive committee members are afraid that he will overstep his duties to blindly command, although he himself swore that he would not be, but he was still unanimously vetoed. Even Cao Xiang didn't support it, she didn't care about the war, Du Yande has been fighting in the new world, and often runs to the special investigation team base to shoot guns and have fun - now Beiwei refuses to let him shoot live ammunition, just sends him an air gun to shoot at the target, so that he can have a lot of fun, if he goes to the battlefield, then what's good? If the battle goes well, isn't Baba rushing to the front? Therefore, Cao Xiang directly vetoed Du Yande's idea of going to the front. After a period of discussion by the Executive Committee, the Executive Committee members should go to Shabak at least once, at least to show how much attention the Executive Committee attaches to Shabak. At least when the battle is raging, the Foreign Legion soldiers should be more eager to know that there are executive committees around them, just like the ancient royal conquest to inspire the morale of the army.
Sun Wenbin and Yang Minghuan were both newly married, and their nominations were rejected at the beginning, even though they both wanted to go to Shabak to see what the real war was like. Zhang Yuan directly shook his head and said that he would not go, he still had several scientific research projects to tackle, and the tank engine project had basically reached the most critical moment, and he would definitely not be able to go...... Then the only thing left is Xiao Jing.
Now Xiao Jing is wearing a training uniform, which is different from the auspicious clothes or camouflage uniforms worn by the veterans of the sniper team around him, Xiao Jing's training uniform is purely the recruit uniform of the old time and space, only with a veteran armband on the cuffs and a black "Z" collar badge on the neckline representing the executive committee. The veterans of the sniper team all carried SKS rifles on their shoulders, some carried Mosin Nagant sniper rifles, and the M24 sniper rifles had long been deployed to the special reconnaissance team through the equipment department, and the only semi-automatic and manual rifles left for the veterans were left. However, these semi-automatic rifles are good guns selected from the usual target training, and they are also equipped with sights to ensure the accuracy of 600 meters distance.
The Mosin Nagant sniper rifles were even more bullish, they were the personal equipment of Lin Shenhe Lin Chuanqing's large yacht, they had been poisoned by the legalization of US imperialist guns in the United States for many years, and the price of these old rifles was cheap, so they also paid out of their own pockets to buy 30 Mosin Nagant sniper rifles and a full 10,000 rounds of 7.62 mm 54 mm rifle cartridges. These rifles did not play a great role in the last battle against the Nanban in the defense of the port of Champa, and the reason for this is that most of the patriarchs did not use sniper rifles in actual combat, and the aiming time of such rifles is long, and the tension when firing often causes the shooter's hands to tremble. A few millimeters of jitter on the sight, and the bullet is hundreds of meters away, which is a deviation of ten meters. In addition, most of these Mosin Nagant rifles had just been opened at that time, and they had not been calibrated and the bolt was very difficult to open, so that on the battlefield, there was a phenomenon that the veteran shooter directly kicked the bolt to open the bolt.
Compared to Mosin Nagant's record, the semi-automatic rifle was superior, and the SKS used a 39mm bullet of 7.62 mm, which had almost half the charge and almost half the recoil. Therefore, the veteran shooter can quickly detect whether he has hit the target after launching, and even if he does not hit the target, he can make up a shot in a short time.
However, during the quiet period after the war, most of the veterans of the sniper team spent a lot of shooting training on the range, and it was only then that they discovered that Mosin Nagant was far more accurate than semi-automatic rifles. This is a very normal thing, first of all, the barrel of Mosin Nagant is 73 centimeters long, and the barrel of SKS is only 52 centimeters, and the higher the speed of the bullet when it rotates in the barrel, especially under the action of more propellant in a 54 mm long bullet, the trajectory is much straighter than that of a semi-automatic rifle. In addition, Mosin Nagant also replaced the seven-fold scopes purchased from the old time and space by adding Picatinny rails, which far exceeded the original four-fold scopes, so that the shooters slowly began to adapt to this rifle, and gradually discovered the advantages of the Mosin Nagant rifle.
However, the veterans who like to shoot accurately and those who like rapid fire have their own advantages, so they also have different choices when choosing weapons, except for SKS and Mosin Nagant, the other patriarchs carry a bit of a variety of weapons. Li Yuan looked at the guns carried by the elders, ranging from MP5 to Bayi to M240, and everyone carried a pistol.
He couldn't help but sigh, thinking that he was still a master shooter in the veteran sniper team during the defense of Champong Port, but now he was sitting on a Rolls-Royce and responsible for feeding Shabak. But he is not bad, although he was hit by three arrows, the shoulder and thigh were mainly muscles, and there was no injury to the tendons, and the buttocks should not be too worried, he had already been examined at the Oriental Port General Hospital, and such wounds would leave scars at most, and would not cause functional effects. Compared with Liu Xu's direct ascension, his injury is basically nothing.
"Hello Chief!" "Salute to the patriarch!" With the sound of one after another, Li Yuan suddenly looked up and looked ahead, it turned out that the convoy had already marched to the bridge of the Jiehe River. The Foreign Legion soldier who was in charge of guarding the bridge stepped forward and saluted Li Yuan, "Hello chief! Please show your ID. ”
Although there were still a large number of indigenous civilians walking around the bridge at this time, it was not that these soldiers wanted to embarrass Li Yuan, but that there were regulations that when large-scale supplies were transported across the bridge, soldiers needed to check the loading of materials and the documents of the escorts. Li Yuan nodded, and took out a document authorized by the General Logistics Department from his pocket. The soldier didn't know how to read, so he had to be identified by the non-commissioned officer next to him. The non-commissioned officer took the document with both hands, read it carefully, saw the end signed Li Yuan, and then carefully looked at Li Yuan's certificate, and hurriedly saluted Li Yuan, "Hello chief, it turned out to be the person in charge of the General Logistics Department, please forgive me." ”
"It's okay, it's okay," Li Yuan waved his hand, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard someone shouting next to him, "What person!" Hold it! I couldn't help but turn my head to look over, it turned out to be a few people in green coats, wearing melon skin hats, who pulled out short knives from their waists and rushed over to their side, shouting in their mouths, "Kill the thief!" ”
