Volume 1 Chapter 042 Sniper Squad
When Wang Xikui and his companions heard this, they hurried over to get their weapons.
one look.
The rifle is the Type 38 rifle.
What surprised them was that in addition to rifles and bayonets, there were also
They even distributed a small knife and a shovel.
What’s strange is that these shovels have serrations on one side of the edge, so they can be used as saws.
The other side is sharp enough to be used as a knife.
This made Fang Ligong and Wang Xikui, who were watching the show together, very puzzled.
Why would you grind the back of a knife or a shovel into a saw?
Chu Yunfei held up a small knife that imitated the Type 92 military knife and said, "Do you see this knife? It's a military knife. It has very comprehensive functions. I will show it to you for now."
Chu Yunfei didn't mention these basic functions while holding the military knife to cut.
He also used the back of the knife to saw wood, and used the saber and scabbard together to cut the wire.
When you twist off the end of the handle, you'll find a flint and a piece of twine hidden inside.
You can make a living using a knife and a flint.
Twine can be used as a lifeline or to set traps.
This opened the eyes of Wang Xikui and others.
They had never imagined that a military knife could have such a function.
In addition to these, the shovel can also be used as a spade, a hoe, and even an axe.
Watching Chu Yunfei holding a shovel and chopping a piece of wood.
In an instant, the shovel sank half into the wood.
Seeing the scene in front of me, I thought about what it would be like to use a shovel like this to hit the Japanese on the head.
It’s simply…
Chu Yunfei covered up and said, "As you can see, these equipment will be your powerful helpers in the future. You need to take good care of them! Do you understand?"
These sabers and shovels were made by the blacksmith in the town.
Purely handmade, cannot be mass-produced, only 8 pieces are available for now!
Everyone loves these equipment in front of them so much, how can they not take good care of them?
They shouted in unison. "Got it!"
After displaying these equipments, Chu Yunfei said while holding the Type 38 rifle.
"In the future, you will use special sniper rifles with 4x scopes to help you aim at the target better. But it will take a few months for those sniper rifles to arrive. For now, you can use the Type 38 rifle. After all, you may need to use enemy weapons in the future. Moreover, this gun is very accurate. You can use it as a training gun to hone your marksmanship!"
The Type 38 rifle is a very familiar gun to many national soldiers.
It needs no introduction at all.
Chu Yunfei put down the Type 38 rifle and continued.
"You are snipers, the most deadly shooters. The enemies you need to shoot will be those who can affect the battle situation. In order to find the important people as soon as possible, eliminate the enemies as quickly as possible. From now on, you will form a group of two. One person will be the sniper and the other will be the observer."
Fang Ligong didn't understand at all.
Why does a good sniper need an observer?
Wouldn't it be enough to just shoot and kill the target?
Wang Xikui and others had the same doubts as Fang Ligong .
Wang Xikui even asked on the spot: "Commander, why do we need an observer? There are already few snipers, why do we need an observer? I did , and I still killed the devils!"
Chu Yunfei heard this and asked, "What kind of devils do you usually kill?"
Wang Xikui replied, "Of course, if you see a devil, kill him!"
Chu Yunfei inspected the people present and said, "Yes. You usually kill the devils you see. If that's the case, why should I spend energy to form a sniper squad? What's the difference between you and other soldiers? Remember, you are snipers! A good sniper can change or even decide the outcome of a battle!"
Fang Ligong couldn't help asking, "Commander. Is this possible?"
"Of course!" Chu Yunfei said affirmatively: "Because snipers often have to lie down and aim at the target through the scope, their vision will be blocked and they cannot grasp the overall situation. At this time, observers are needed to find the targets that pose the greatest threat to our regiment on the battlefield in the shortest time, such as the Japanese commander, machine gunner, grenadier, etc., and tell the sniper as soon as possible. The sniper will eliminate the enemy in the shortest time! Then the situation on the battlefield will be in our favor. I hope you can become such a sniper!"
Fang Ligong felt that what Chu Yunfei said seemed to make sense, but could it really be achieved?
He wasn't sure.
He is cautious about uncertainty.
The decision must be made on the battlefield and proven by action.
Seeing that no one asked any questions, Chu Yunfei continued speaking.
"In order to kill the enemy in the shortest possible time, there are several vital parts in the human body. Look carefully!" Chu Yunfei picked up the human target on the table and said, "The head and chest are all vital parts. Look for the chest first. If that doesn't work, aim for the head!"
The goals that military snipers and police snipers need to achieve are different.
Police snipers often have to face situations where criminals take hostages.
To ensure the safety of the hostages.
The police need to accurately shoot the reaction nerve center in the criminal's head, killing the criminal on the spot.
But military snipers are different.
All he has to do is shoot and kill the enemy as quickly as possible.
As long as you can kill the enemy, the position doesn't matter.
Simply put, it means: fast, ruthless, and accurate!
The chest's bullet-proof area is larger than the head's, and its frequency of movement in a short period of time is not as high as the head's.
Therefore, military snipers usually choose to shoot the chest.
Putting down the human-shaped target, Chu Yunfei looked at them and said, "A qualified sniper needs to be fed with countless bullets. The cost is huge, so I won't allow you to die easily. On the battlefield, you need to have the ability to kill, but also the ability to protect yourself!"
"In order to protect yourself to the greatest extent on the battlefield, you need to have the ability to plan and hide!"
"The plan is, once you arrive at the battlefield, you need to quickly determine which locations are suitable for sniping, and at the same time set up retreat and transfer routes. This way you can move as quickly as possible on the battlefield! Remember, you can only fire two shots at the same sniping point. After two shots, regardless of whether you hit the target or not, you must move! Do you hear me?"
Six people shouted loudly. "I heard it!"
"In addition to relocating positions in time, another important means of self-protection is camouflage. Remember when I asked you to lurk before? Some of you did well, but some did very badly. Remember that you need to hone your camouflage skills. There is not much I can help you with in this regard, and you need to figure it out and improve it more. The only thing I can teach you is this dress. Look carefully!"
Chu Yunfei took out a very tattered piece of clothing from a box and put it on, then went to the hill and lay on the ground.
They didn't think much of it just now, but when the regiment leader lay on the ground, Wang Xikui and the others were dumbfounded.
Getting up from the ground, Chu Yunfei returned to the sniper squad and pointed at his clothes.
"This ghillie suit is made of rags that are closest to the color of the battlefield. It will prevent the enemy from finding you. In order to protect yourself, you must wear this ghillie suit before going to the battlefield. In addition to wearing the ghillie suit, even the guns in your hands must be camouflaged. There is another thing you need to pay attention to. The scope of the rifle must be covered at all times and can only be opened before shooting. Avoid sunlight reflection and expose your position. At the same time, the telescope must also be covered with linen!"
After hearing the head of the regiment mention this, Fang Ligong, Wang Xikui and others realized that it is not easy to be an excellent sniper, and all aspects and details must be considered.
Fang Ligong was completely convinced by the regiment commander Chu Yunfei.
He really didn't know where Chu Yunfei learned these skills.
With the personal instruction of the regiment commander, the sniper squad of the 358th Regiment will surely bloom the flowers of death on the battlefield.
After imparting to them some knowledge of self-protection on the battlefield, Chu Yunfei lay on the ground, holding a Type 38 rifle, and spoke to his men with his head tilted to the side.
"Don't be too careful when holding the gun! Relax a little and be more natural!"
"Every time our heartbeats, our bodies will move slightly. So we have to control it. When shooting, take a deep breath and breathe slowly. We use our breathing to coordinate with our heartbeats and wait until the moment when our bodies are most stable. Shoot!"
"Distance, wind direction, wind speed, temperature, and humidity will all affect the accuracy of your shooting. We are poor and don't have any special instruments to help us measure these. So when shooting, you can only rely on your own accumulation of knowledge. Get to the point where you know everything clearly!"
…
Chu Yunfei told these soldiers all the knowledge he knew, hoping that they could take fewer detours, become successful as quickly as possible, and kill as many enemies as possible on the battlefield.
The soldiers in the sniper squad were a little skeptical at first, thinking that they had been on the battlefield for seven or eight years.
With such good marksmanship, it would be easy for him to be a sniper.
But now, the captain's profound knowledge completely impressed them.
They finally realized that they were just frogs in a well. They adjusted their attitude and studied very seriously.
Most of the sharpshooters of this era have fired a lot and practiced for a long time.
A shooting habit or shooting instinct that is formed naturally.
They didn't form a system.
Chu Yunfei's explanation of snipers seemed to open a door for them, allowing them to begin to touch a higher level.
After imparting all the knowledge about snipers that he had gained from film and television works to these snipers, Chu Yunfei appointed Wang Xikui as the squad leader of the sniper squad to lead them to continue training.
As the head of the group, Chu Yunfei was able to spare a month to train them, which was already very valuable.
The rest is up to them to figure out on their own.
These soldiers were all rough and could barely read a word. Chu Yunfei specially arranged for a clerk to record their experiences and insights and summarize them into a book to facilitate the training of new and better snipers in the future.
This summary of information about snipers later became the first sniper training manual in New China.
It was precisely because of this manual that a group of excellent snipers were trained for the new China, who shined brightly in the Korean battlefield, the Sino-Indian War, and the Anti-Vietnam War.
Chu Yunfei was also called the father of Chinese snipers by people who were curious about the future!
