Chapter 250: Deadly Bullets
Unlike the sharpshooters of the Japanese Army's Standing Division, these devils of the special combat team directly under the Central China Dispatch Army are not uniformly equipped with standard sniper weapons, but are issued with different sniper rifles according to their usage habits. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Basically, all the sniper rifle models owned by the Japanese Army are present in this special squad that cannot be in a special squad.
Of the ten sharpshooters under Captain Hashiba, there were two others who used the same 38 (modified) as No. 9, and in fact, the Type 38 (modified) sniper rifle was not really a sniper rifle, because it was not specially developed after all, but it was the real beginning of the development of Japanese sniper rifles. The actual number of Type 38 (modified) sniper rifles is very small, and the actual use time is not long, but this sniper rifle equipped with the earliest equipment of the Japanese Army has always had fans in the army, so it has not been withdrawn from the combat sequence so far.
The remaining eight sharpshooters use 6.5 mm caliber Type 97 sniper rifles, which are the current mainstream sniper equipment of the Japanese Army Standing Division, and they are also the first sniper rifles in Japan in the true sense.
Although the Type 97 sniper rifle was developed on the basis of the Type 38 rifle, it retains the same 6.5 mm caliber as the Type 38 rifle, with a total length of 1280 mm, a total weight of 3.95 kg, a muzzle velocity of 765 m/s, a claimed accuracy range of 600 meters, and a maximum range of more than 3,000 meters. Due to the use of lightweight stocks, the overall weight was reduced, allowing Japanese sharpshooters to carry more ammunition on their own. In addition, it is also equipped with a detachable tripod, which is more conducive to supporting and stabilizing the gun body during sniping, which directly improves the sniping effect.
The 6.5×50mm sniper bullet used in the Type 97 sniper rifle is a reduced gunpowder, which is basically burned before the bullet shoots out of the muzzle, so that the appearance of the muzzle flame is well controlled, and it is not easy to find the specific sniper position even if the gun is cold in the dark.
As a qualified sniper rifle, the cooperation of the sniper scope is naturally indispensable. The Type 97 sniper rifle has been specially modified in order to better match the optical sight to avoid hindering the use of the scope. The gun used to use a 2.5 magnification optical scope for the Type 38 (modified) sniper rifle, and later used a 4 magnification sniper scope developed independently for the first time by the Japan Optical Society. Nippon Kokomi has been working with Carl Zeiss of Germany since 1909, and its products are of excellent quality. The Type 97 sniper rifle is assembled with the best precision parts during the production process, and the scope is also a "special gun and special lens", which is delivered to the troops after it is fully adjusted by experienced debuggers, so its accuracy as a sniper rifle is very high.
During the Battle of Songhu, the elite shooters of the Central Army who were trained by German instructors used the original Mauser 1924 rifle imported from Germany (the predecessor of the Mauser 98K) to snipe a large number of devil officers, which made the devils frightened and urgently telegraphed the military department for help, so a group of Japanese sharpshooters equipped with 97 sniper rifles were sent to the front line, because the Central Army was not equipped with a professional sniper rifle, but only a scope was added to the Mauser 1924 standard rifle, so it lost the advantage of equipment, and the two sides won and lost each other. The devil can be regarded as saving face with a Type 97 sniper rifle.
Later, with the deepening of the all-out war of resistance, the Type 97 sniper rifle was widely used by devils on the frontal battlefield to snipe Chinese officers and soldiers, harass artillery and even suppress machine guns, which was rampant for a while.
However, the good days of the Type 97 did not last long, and since entering the Wuhan battlefield and encountering Huang Haoran, who was equipped with a Soviet-aided Mosin Nagant 1981/30 sniper rifle, the Type 97 sniper rifle could not take advantage of it at all. Soviet-made weapons are in line with the word "simple and crude", although they are not too good in terms of accuracy, they are sturdy and reliable, the ammunition supply and firing action are crisp and neat, and the installed 3.5x scope has been tested many times in actual combat, so the Mosin Nagant 1981/30 is slightly better than the devil's Type 97 on the whole.
The report of the Central China Dispatch Army was again sent to the military headquarters in Tokyo, and the needs of the Chinese battlefield led to a significant acceleration in the development of a new sniper rifle for the Japanese army.
At this moment, Jiro Yushiba is aiming at Huang Haoran through the latest 4-magnification optical scope mounted on the body of the gun, and the new sniper rifle that has been wrapped in a rain cloth has finally revealed its true face.
Compared to the Type 38 and Type 97 sniper rifles, this gun is quite short, about a quarter of the length of the gun, and the optical scope is equipped with an added up and down fine adjustment and wind deflection adjustment that the old scope lacked.
Not only that, but in order to ensure the lethal effect, the new sniper rifle also changed the caliber and used a special 7.7×58mm reduced-charge bullet. The 7.7mm bullet is short and easy to roll over after hitting the target, so the damage to the human body of this new rifle is much greater than that of the Type 38 (modified) and Type 97 that use 6.5mm caliber ammunition.
In fact, as early as Xiaohunan, when they were shot in the first round by the sharpshooters of the devil special combat team, Captain Yuchai Jiro came to this battlefield, but for other targets other than Huang Haoran, Captain Yuchai was not interested.
As the best sharpshooter in the entire Central China Dispatch Army, Captain Yuchai is now very picky about his prey, and Chinese top marksmen like Xiao Hunan should be left to his subordinates to deal with. The target that now appears in the crosshair scope is the most expensive prey on the battlefield.
There was not the slightest worry that it might be aimed at the wrong person, and Captain Yushiba had been observing it before. Under the fierce attack of Yokoyama Kenji, most of the Chinese troops on the road had collapsed, and only a few elites were struggling to hold on.
Especially the Chinese top shooters who defeated the five sharpshooters under him just now are rare and powerful characters, and the desperate battle of these Chinese top shooters just now is obviously to cover this person who is now rushing out from behind the big rocks. Yuchai Jiro really couldn't think of anyone in this team other than Huang Haoran who was worthy of fighting like this for these remaining elite soldiers.
Chinese god of war, second-class army general Huang Haoran! If he wins the head of this famous general, it will be enough for Captain Yushiba to brag for a long time.
Gone down in history......
It's all a shot!
In order to be absolutely safe, the proud sharpshooter of Hashiba Jiro even gave up shooting Huang Haoran in the head, and chose a much larger chest with a relatively large area. Captain Hashiba didn't want to take the slightest risk, and he wanted to pocket the fruit in the safest way possible.
Just one shot! Absolutely deadly! In addition to the new rifle in his hand, Captain Hashiba also has other secret weapons. The 7.7mm bullet in the chamber of the gun is a masterpiece carefully concocted by Captain Yu Chai, and all of this is prepared for Huang Haoran. (To be continued.) )
