    The original goal of the Chinese Participating Army created by Wang Geng was to assign one sniper to each squad. However, in more than a year, the Chinese Participating Army expanded from a 16th mixed brigade to nearly 30 integrated divisions.  The expansion of the army has made the training of snipers far behind the original expectations.

    Wu Peifu's Third Army, as the most elite front-line main force among the entire participating armies, only allocated snipers to the platoon level. Whether it was an armored division or a mixed brigade, each platoon of the Third Army had a two-person sniper.  In the sniper team, one person is responsible for observation, command and protection, and the other main shooter is equipped with an M1 Garand semi-automatic sniper rifle with a 4x optical sight.

    It should be said that the sniper rifles of the US military are mainly made of the high-precision m1903 Springfield rifle with an optical sight. The hand-operated Springfield sniper rifle became a flash in the pan among Wang Geng's participating troops because of the m1 Garand  With the emergence of semi-automatic rifles, the main equipment of the Chinese participating armies is the M1 Garand semi-automatic sniper rifle equipped with an optical sight. The magazine capacity of eight rounds and the semi-automatic shooting method make manual manual rifles with a magazine capacity of five rounds.  The Springfield sniper rifle has no place in the Chinese participating armies.

    Although Li Fugui is a cavalry battalion, the cavalry are equipped with short-barreled M1 Garand semi-automatic mounted rifles, but the snipers of each company in the cavalry battalion are equipped with standard-barreled Garand semi-automatic sniper rifles with a range of  The power has not been reduced at all.

    At this time of World War I, the snipers of various military units had begun to take shape, but only the armies of Tsarist Russia and Japan were not equipped with full-time snipers and sniper rifles. Tukhachevsky's First Army of the Soviet Red Army was  Therefore, the sharpshooters in the army could only be mobilized to use ordinary Mosin Nagant rifles. Fortunately, Tukhachevsky took the opportunity and ordered to collect the binoculars of commanders at all levels in the army and temporarily distribute them to the sharpshooters to observe the target.  Use it, hoping to make them display their shooting skills.

    Tukhachevsky's requirements are not high. Even if each of these 200 sharpshooters only kills one enemy, the opponent's coalition cavalry battalion will lose one-third of its troops. If the fight continues like this, his own large army will fall asleep.  Wake up, all the enemies in the town have been wiped out by sharpshooters.

    Tukhachevsky became the fastest-promoted young general in the Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army. This was closely related to his military talent. Although his unit had not conducted sniper operations, this guy was very smart. In order to protect  To be a sharpshooter and save the physical strength of the shooters, he sent a battalion of infantry to serve as shields for the 200 shooters. Each shooter was assigned two infantry soldiers. In addition to using short wooden platoons tied up as temporary shields, this guy also made up  Hundreds of engineering shovels were given to these soldiers to dig individual bunkers on the battle line to protect the shooters from threats as much as possible.

    The sharpshooters of the Soviet Red Army all use Mosin-Nagant rifles, model m1891 infantry rifle, production year 18911926, full gun length 1308mm, full length with bayonet 1738mm, empty gun weight, barrel length 800mm, muzzle velocity 615ms  , the m1891 infantry rifle is the first smokeless rifle in Russia. It has a simple and rough structure, but is reliable and has good shooting accuracy. The disadvantage is that it is bulky because the sound of the gun is crisp and clear, like water dripping into a pond, so it has a "water-like" sound.  a.

    In Wang Geng¡¯s previous life, the Soviet army used the m189130 Mosin Nagant rifle that was put into production in 1930 as the base gun. They lengthened the charging handle and changed it from a straight shape to a downwardly curved shape, and installed a sight mount on the left side of the gun.  In the mid-1930s, the shape of the receiver was changed to a round shape to make the sight mount more sturdy.

    The scope¡¯s magnification is 4 times, and the objective lens diameter is 30 mm.  The "Mosin Nagant" sniper rifle equipped with the PE type 4x scope is actually an imitation of Zeiss in Germany and weighs 1000 kilograms, while the PU Russian type §±y is equipped with a simpler structure, smaller volume and lighter weight.  With the scope on, the entire gun weighs kilograms.  In the movie "At the Gate", the protagonist Vasily uses the "Mosin Nagant" m189130 sniper rifle.

    "Also in Wang Geng's previous life, Zhang Taofang, a special hero of the Volunteer Army on the Korean battlefield, used this rifle to kill 214 enemies with 442 rounds of bullets, setting a record for the Volunteer Army's highest single-person record of coldly killing enemies.  Moreover, the gun Zhang used was an M189130 Mosin Nagant rifle produced in 1944, and it did not come with an optical sight.

    I still don¡¯t know which time and space it was in 1918. The latest Mosin-Nagant rifles in the hands of the fledgling Soviet Red Army were only two types of mounted rifles, the M1891 Cossack and Dragoon rifles, both of which were issued to mounted troops.  Used: Cossack rifles are issued to cavalry; dragoon rifles are issued to mounted infantry for daily maneuvers on horseback, and there is not much difference between the two when dismounting and shooting in combat: the dragoon rifle has a handguard around the scale and is equipped with  There is a bayonet; while the Cossack rifle does not have a bayonet, there is an inscription on the barrel of the Russian ka3akn? abbreviation for Cossack.

    In order to pursue the range, the sharpshooters selected by Tukhachevsky were not only the original infantry, but also the sharpshooters in the cavalry. They also replaced the m1891 infantry rifle. Almost all the cavalry rifles that were shortened from the infantry rifle were because of the gun.  The tube is short, the initial velocity isThe range is slightly inferior to that of an infantry rifle.

    The effective combat range of the Mosin-Nagant rifle of the Soviet Red Army using mechanical sights is 400 meters, and if an optical sight can be installed, the effective range will reach 800 meters.  Of course, it is not ruled out that talented people like Zhang Taofang can kill enemies within a distance of 600 to 800 meters using only the mechanical sight of the Mosin Nagant rifle.

    As the snipers of the cavalry battalion of the mixed cavalry brigade of China's 1st Armored Division of the Allied Forces, they are equipped with the m1 Garand sniper rifle equipped with a 4x optical sight. The effective range is also 800 meters, but don't forget the Garand  The rifle is the world's first semi-automatic rifle. It only needs to pull the bolt once to load the bullet, and it can fire eight times in a row without having to pull the bolt again. In terms of firepower sustainability and reaction to the second shot, it is far better than  Manual rifle.

    The bullet muzzle velocity of the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle is as high as 853 meters per second, which is much faster than the Mosin Nagant's speed of 615 meters per second. The effective range of the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle using a mechanical sight is 457 meters. To say that the range is higher than  In fact, the M1 Garand is weaker than the M1903 Springfield rifle. The effective range of the Springfield rifle of the Allied Forces Central Army using mechanical sights is 550 meters, but the Garand's firepower continuity advantage as a semi-automatic rifle makes this gun  It surpassed the Springfield sniper rifle and became the standard equipment of coalition snipers.

    In the life-and-death precision shooting sniper battlefield, not many snipers have the opportunity to pull the bolt and load the second bullet under the enemy's muzzle. In this regard, the M1 Garand has unparalleled advantages.

    The five companies of the Li Fugui Cavalry Battalion, except for the company of the 3rd Ural Cavalry Division, which is not equipped with professional snipers because it is still a Russian army, the other four Chinese cavalry companies are equipped with a total of 12 sniper teams and 24 chief and deputy shooters.  They are all M1 Garand semi-automatic sniper rifles.

    In the first attack of Chapayev's dismounted cavalry regiment this morning, Li Fugui did not let more snipers go into battle. He only used three sniper groups from the first company to hide in the second-line position and eliminate those snipers at targeted locations like hunting birds.  It is easy to identify the political commissars of the Soviet Red Army who charge with guns waving. First, almost everyone's military uniforms need to be newer and darker. Second, almost everyone is carrying a leather briefcase. Third, this  When the political commissars attacked, they often waved and cursed at the Red Army soldiers around them.

    Because the regiment that Chapayev attacked in the morning was almost destroyed in the end, the power of the snipers was overshadowed by the tragic battle conditions. In fact, there were three sniper groups in a row, and each group killed more than 100,000 enemies.  At least more than 30 people, but the Soviet Red Army killed more than 1,200 people in front of their positions in this morning battle. A mere 90 people died from the precise shooting of the opponent's snipers, which is not noticeable at all.

    Seeing that the opponent had sent sharpshooters to fight, Li Fugui waved his hand and ordered the entire battalion of 12 sniper teams to enter the position, ready to teach the opponent a lesson. You must know that for shooting with only mechanical sights, a target can be hit at 150 meters.  The target is a good shooter. If you can hit the target at a distance of 200 meters, you can be considered a sharpshooter. At a distance of 300 meters, you will definitely be a special shooter. You must know that at a distance of more than 200 meters, a person lying on the ground  The head of the shooter here is even smaller than the crosshair on your rifle.

    The snipers of the cavalry battalion were energetic and very excited that they could take on the important role on their own. The machine gunners had stolen all the limelight in this morning's battle. It is true to say that artillery and machine guns are the kings of infantry in this era.  , faced with group charges and human sea tactics, the snipers really can't do it alone, but now our mortars and light and heavy machine guns stunned Tukhachevsky on the opposite side. This guy only sent sharpshooters.  I'm afraid they want to kill our machine gunners, but that's not going to happen. Let's take a rest with the mortars and see how capable our snipers are. This is what the shooters in the 12 sniper groups are thinking.

    Tukhachevsky led the division commander's political commissars to stand on a hill in front of the command tent 2,000 meters away. He used binoculars to watch his sharpshooters, working in groups of three with the cooperation of a battalion of infantry, slowly move toward each other.  He moved his position, feeling nervous and excited at the same time. This idea of ??cutting down trees and building shields was also his genius. Of course, it is hard to say whether he can really block the opponent's bullets, but he might be able to resist the mortar fragments. The key is psychology.  The suggestive effect on morale cannot be underestimated.

    This is just like the infantry steel helmet. Everyone knows that the steel helmet cannot block the opponent's rifle bullets even at medium and long distances. It can only protect against shrapnel and stray bullets from exploding artillery shells. It also depends on the distance from the impact point. Soldiers who can wear a steel helmet,  It is obviously more confident than a soldier who only wears a Red Army soft hat. This is the effect of psychological suggestion. The wooden shield Tukhachevsky tosses out plays more of this role.

    Of course, these 200 sharpshooters of the First Army of the Soviet Red Army were not stupid enough to think that they had the ability to hit the enemy's living target with a rifle without an optical sight at a distance of 800 meters, so they reasonablyOf course, as long as the opponent's machine guns do not fire, they should be at a relatively safe distance before advancing to 500 meters from the opponent's position. What they are worried about is only the heavy machine guns and mortars of the coalition forces. Of course, there are a lot of people around them at this moment.  There was a comrade on the left and right holding a wooden raft to cover themselves, which made everyone relax a little bit.

    "Send the order, don't shoot until the opponent climbs 600 meters!" Li Fugui ordered vaguely while looking at the battlefield situation with a telescope and chewing a baked potato.

    "Don't snipers also shoot? They brag that they can hit targets 800 meters away!" Correspondent Xiao Ma asked.

    "That is to say, snipers are not allowed to shoot! Except for the scarecrow and the fake machine gun position on the front line, everyone else is lying down for me to hide. Aren't the squad leaders of each squad equipped with trench periscopes? Tell them to be honest."  Stay still, don't show your head, and don't fight back without permission. When the enemy gets 600 meters, I'll see where they go!" Li Fugui said fiercely.

    The call back from the Ufa headquarters just now commended him for his victory, but regretfully told him that the air force was temporarily unable to provide air support to him because the clouds were too thick and the wind was too strong to see the ground. He encouraged him to stay calm and try to hold off the enemy as much as possible.  As long as you persist to the end, once the weather improves, the air force will be able to show off its skills from the sky. Victory belongs to the cavalry battalion, and victory belongs to the coalition forces!

    Damn it, you have to delay, try to delay as much time as possible, and slowly beat Tukhachevsky, otherwise this wave of three strikes, five divided by two will be over, and he will send a division to charge. I really don¡¯t know if I can hold it!  Li Fugui thought to himself.
