Chapter Seventy-Two: The Veteran Sniper Team
Seeing that the people had been driven forward, Xue Ziliang was not in a hurry, he calculated the distance, and the phalanx of barbarian soldiers walking in the middle was about 300 meters away from the city. www.biquge.info It is completely impossible for the brutes to attack themselves at this distance, and the rifled version of the Senate rifle in their hands can exert its power.
"Start loading!" Xue Ziliang began to shout orders, and the marines at the head of the city began to put the butts of their guns on the ground, check the barrels, and then began to reload their ammunition.
These siege brutes were not members of the Dhaka tribe who had encountered the new army of Champa Port, and they had no idea what the men in blue clothes were doing with iron pipes on the head of the city, but they continued to drive the people forward while talking and laughing, and in their cognitive abilities, they were absolutely safe at this distance.
"Turn on the salvo sight!" Xue Ziliang continued to shout new orders, and the soldiers erected a small photo door next to the trigger. The salvo sight is a special product of the era of low rifle shooting accuracy, the accuracy of this sight is quite vague, and it requires soldiers standing in a row to aim at a cluster of targets at the same distance with a salvo sight, and use a curved trajectory to cover the target, which cannot be accurately fired. So the sights disappeared after the rifle accuracy increased and the machine guns appeared, but at this time these Senate rifles, which were only rifled, were able to play their role.
"Distance!" Xue Ziliang shouted loudly: "400 meters, aim!" ”
In the distance, a phalanx of brutes had just walked past a pile of white stones, and the barbarians didn't know what it was for, so they got close and walked up and kicked the stones to the ground. Xue Ziliang smiled, this stone pile is a reference for measuring the distance, and it is exactly about four hundred meters away from the city wall. Originally, he planned to plant mines in it, but according to the information of the Great Library, the people who attacked the city in this era were often the common people who were used to send them to death, so he gave up this plan.
"Fire!" With the loud sound of orders, a cloud of gunpowder suddenly rose from the walls of the port of Champong, covering the city tower like a dark cloud, and then these barbarians heard a crackling sound. A few clever people quickly remembered the explosion they heard when they were beaten along the way, but they were beaten almost all at night, and they could not see either the smoke or the location of the launch, and this smoke rose into the air, which made them feel very novel.
But they didn't get long in the novelty, and soon a rain of bullets fell with a sharp whistling sound.
This rain of bullets is aimed at a barbarian phalanx walking in the middle, these barbarians are too heavy, want to be easy to fight, many of them are not wearing armor, and these guys who lack iron weapons basically have no helmets, this time dozens of bullets fell down and were knocked over more than a dozen brute soldiers on the spot.
The brutes panicked, but quickly regained their composure amid the sword-wielding roars of the new centurions and chiefs. "Go up! Rush up and they'll not be able to beat us! A centurion shouted as he brandished a rusty steel knife, but the next second a hole exploded in his chest, and he fell to the ground and died without even snorting.
In battle, especially this kind of cold weapon troops, the most important thing is the front-line commanders, they hold the command of their own phalanx, and their life and death are crucial to whether this phalanx still retains combat effectiveness. Therefore, this is also a strategy to deal with the siege of the barbarians, which not only have the strength of two platoons of the Senate Marines and the two newly expanded companies of the port of Champang, but also the absolute "finger of death" - snipers.
The special reconnaissance team that was used to harass the barbarians was originally prepared to return to Dongfang Port for repairs, but because Dongfang Port was attacked and suffered relatively large losses, their two sniper teams and one fire team were redeployed to Zhancheng Port to assist in the defense, and they were temporarily unified under the command of Beiwei. Due to the large area of the port of Zhancheng, the defenders and the special reconnaissance team could not be deployed, so the headquarters of the special investigation team also sent a "veteran hunting team" who was proficient in shooting. This squad is selected from the Guangdong base when they are good at shooting through the public, a total of more than ten people, after arriving in the new time and space they received systematic sniper training, at this time this hunting team in addition to no combat experience, can be called the sharpest long-range firepower delivery unit in this time and space. These veterans are all wearing camouflage uniforms brought by the old time and space, and the weapons in their hands are also relatively varied, in addition to the M24 sniper rifles brought by the old time and space, some of them use SKS rifles with sights installed.
The previous salvo was a planned step, first using the salvo to disrupt the pace of the opponent's attack, waiting for the opposing officer's officers to come out to maintain order, and then the veteran hunting team to eliminate them one by one. This is a proper yang conspiracy, and even if the other party knows about it, he has to send him to death, unless the commander of this phalanx doesn't want to do it.
Li Yuan smiled and pulled back the bullet case, and then pushed in the next bullet. He had been in the transportation group before, and later after the capture of Wu'an Village, he was transferred to clean up Wen Xinyi's correspondence, and now he has truly achieved his purpose of crossing, and he can shoot and fire with the enemy. The brute with a red turban on his head in his scope was slanting to the ground, and the barbarians next to him rushed forward, some holding the corpse, some examining the wounds, and some glancing at it and continuing to walk forward. The location he chose was very good, in the attic on the top of the South Gate Tower, the view on all sides was extremely wide, but the wind was a little strong, and the smoke that rose from the salvo just now was blown away by the sea breeze in a blink of an eye.
On Li Yuan's left hand side is another member of the hunting team - Ren Xuefeng, Ren Xuefeng has continued to stay in his diplomatic department since he finished analyzing the artillery bombing accident, in fact, he has not practiced shooting except for learning to step on the drum and line up to shoot with everyone in the initial queue training, but as a sniper, the line of sight in the sniper scope is too narrow, and there must be an observer to assist in aiming to improve the shooting efficiency. So this patriarch who was messing around was arrested indiscriminately and sent here. Unlike Li Yuan, Ren Xuefeng didn't feel excited at all, he just anxiously searched for the more "different" targets among the barbarians who were pacing like a leisurely stroll. At this time, he was actually quite nervous, as he was still shivering in the camp during the Xiangyong attack, and he had no expectations for a head-on battle with the enemy. At this time, he just mechanically reported the location and distance of the target, because he likes to study strategy, he has read a lot of literature in World War II, including some examples of snipers.
"Target, direction 195, distance 350 meters, leather armor and blue clothes, with a steel knife in his hand."
Li Yuan tilted his head slightly, and quickly found his target, "This seems to be an official." ”
The centurion, who had been set on fire by death, was standing beside Tuliman, brandishing his weapon and shouting, "The leader has instructed that the first tribe to enter the port of Champa can plunder at will for three days, and the one who grabs it is his own!" Champa Port is the largest port in Annam, and there are not only countless treasures, but also inexhaustible women! ”
Most of these barbarians have grabbed a lot of women in their previous raids, but with the long march, hunger, fatigue, infectious diseases, etc., caused a large number of these women to die on the way, and some were killed as food because of lack of food. Tuliman is also starting to be a little excited, the maid he selected before didn't know where to run in the chaos of being attacked by strange birds before, and it is not certain who has been eaten at this time, if this can take down the port of Champang, then he has to catch two women, one to beat his back and the other to pinch his feet...... Just as he thought of this, the centurion beside him suddenly screamed, fell to the ground and convulsed twice before dying, a hole in his chest that was smaller than a finger, and a hole in his back the size of a fist, and flesh and blood splattered more than a foot away. Not far away, another brute was touching his chest in disbelief, falling to his knees with a pop, and then spitting blood from his mouth and falling sideways.
"Kill, you killed two of them with this shot." Ren Xuefeng quickly drew a leather armor on the small notebook with a pencil to represent the person wearing the leather armor, and drew a stroke at the back. He was about to draw the miscellaneous soldier again, but he heard Li Yuan complain, "Please don't draw it in such detail, okay?" If you have the time to paint, you can give me a few more goals. ”
Ren Xuefeng defended innocently, "This has to be recorded, otherwise who knows what the targets are killed?" ”
"Isn't it enough to have knives, guns and sticks? Don't you see these weapons that the Nanban takes? You still have the kung fu to paint leather armor, why don't you just take a photo? Li Yuan was a little annoyed, "Hurry up and help me find a target." ”
"Alright, alright, wait." Ren Xuefeng threw the pencil into the small notebook that had been opened, picked up the telescope and began to look for the next target.
In the continuous firing of these veteran hunting groups, the array of barbarians continued to move forward, but it was beginning to show the chaos of losing command. Some of the phalanxes came together, talking to each other, seemingly looking for a target to attack; Some are going faster and faster, and have caught up with the people who are being driven to the front; More brutes slowed down and looked around, not knowing what to do.
"They have entered two hundred and fifty meters, and they have reached the limit of Annan's rifle range." Li Yuan looked at these barbarians who were still walking forward in a hurry, although they still had the size of thousands of people, they were still mighty, but they were like tigers that had their teeth and claws pulled out, and they had lost their biggest threat.
