Chapter 226 Sniper Trial
In the early morning, the sun shines on the earth, driving away the cold brought by the night.
Gu Changfeng got up early and rushed to Taihang Mountains carrying the radio. Tomorrow is the day of departure, and the exchange of bullets is put on the agenda.
This time, Gu Changfeng planned to exchange some mortar shells, as well as machine gun and rifle bullets.
Don't do anything else. The points are too few, so it's not realistic to form an artillery battalion, and it's completely unnecessary at this time.
He only planned to start with a small group of devils, such as a devil squadron or something...
That’s right, with the points, Gu Changfeng changed his mind. The small team could no longer satisfy him.
Of course, if it’s delivered to your door, it’s okay to eat it.
Xianya Ridge.
Yesterday, Gu Changfeng learned from the old village chief Wang Zheng that this place was where an immortal had ascended to heaven and was filled with fairy mist all day long, but he didn't take it seriously.
However, when Gu Changfeng arrived at the mountain, he felt that this place was very suitable for use as a base.
Behind Xianya Ridge is a steep cliff. He only needs to set up a checkpoint halfway up the mountain, and no matter who comes, they will be left with a pile of corpses.
There is enough space on the mountain, and it is only about twenty miles away from Xiaowang Village.
The only thing that puzzled Gu Changfeng was that such a good place was not occupied by bandits, which made him feel a little strange.
Naturally, by now it must have become his possession.
After searching for a long time, Gu Changfeng came to the foot of the mountain and started exchanging ammunition.
Fifty boxes of mortar shells each, 2000 points.
5 large guns were exchanged.
Before, because there was no need, we just exchanged bullets directly. Now that we have a place, long-range sniper training is naturally put on the agenda.
2500 points are gone, and the remaining points can all be exchanged for heavy machine gun Type light rifle bullets.
Gu Changfeng was reluctant to change to Type 38 bullets, so he simply waited and robbed the Japanese from behind.
After the exchange, Gu Changfeng took out boxes of bullets from the space. His confidence returned and he happily contacted the villagers to come and get them.
More than an hour later, Yang Zhenhua, who led the team on a forced march, saw a floor full of boxes and five handsome big guns.
"Commander Gu, the weapons have arrived again." Yang Zhenhua smiled.
They are all veterans of the team, and everyone knows Gu Changfeng's mysterious background.
Every time there is a shortage of ammunition, a batch of these will appear out of nowhere. Everyone is used to it.
"Let's move back first," Gu Changfeng said, looking at Xianyaling behind him, and reluctantly left carrying a few guns.
Xianyaling has not been built yet, otherwise you can just stay on the mountain and be comfortable.
Moreover, training is convenient and will not disturb others. There is no other way for the time being, so we can only stay in Xiaowang Village for now.
After returning to the village, Gu Changfeng immediately asked each company to organize the soldiers in the open space outside the village.
The selection begins...
"Snipers from each company, step out," Gu Changfeng looked at the soldiers with a serious expression.
As the 28 snipers and their assistants lined up, the straw targets were also set up.
The requirements for thousand-meter sniping are very high. The snipers from each company received the news last night and naturally knew what to do.
But their expressions were not very good. They were all too excited, which made Gu Changfeng feel helpless.
The essential element for a sniper is absolute calmness. Although these people have experienced so many wars, their mentality is still not up to par.
Gu Changfeng estimated that most people would still be eliminated, and only a few would actually have the chance to hold the big gun.
But he is not in a hurry. He can just train slowly later. There is plenty of time this year.
Besides, his requirements were not that high at this time. It was not like he was going to carry out an assassination mission. He was mostly doing frontal sniping, and it would be fine if he could kill as many Japanese artillery and machine gunners as possible.
"Look, Shuanzi, I wasn't bragging. Commander Gu really bought the big gun." Niu Er said proudly.
Shuanzi was obviously a little nervous. He turned a deaf ear to Niu Er's words and stared at the rifle with longing in his eyes.
"Shuanzi, Shuanzi." Niu Er saw that Shuanzi was slow to speak, and was afraid that something was wrong with him, so he called out to him twice.
"Ah!" Shuanzi was startled awake. He turned to look at Niu Er beside him and asked, "Brother Niu Er, are you calling me?"
Apparently, he was too engrossed in the conversation just now and even blocked out the voices beside him.
"Hey kid, don't be nervous later. Fight well. I believe in you." Niu Er said encouragingly, but his eyes turned to Gu Changfeng.
"Thank you for your hard work in retreating from the Jinling battlefield!"
Gu Changfeng's first sentence was addressed to the snipers, and also to all the soldiers present.
"Commander Gu, we are not tired, that's why we came here!"
A brave soldier shouted.
Luo Xiong was originally looking at his own team. When he saw that it was a soldier from his own company, he immediately became angry.
"Shut up. A soldier's duty is to obey orders. Don't you know discipline?"
The soldier was obviously frightened by his company commander. He shrank his neck and dared not say a word.
"This brother asked a good question,"
Gu Changfeng was just about to talk about this matter. Everyone followed him all the way here, and he hadn't explained it properly yet.
To fight the Japanese, everyone needs to work together, otherwise he can't do it alone, so he might as well take this opportunity to talk about it together.
"First of all, the Battle of Nanjing is over, and everyone is tired. The brothers next to us have been replaced one after another. I think everyone can feel this."
"We are too weak. We are so weak that we have a hard time fighting against an entire brigade of the Japanese."
As soon as he said this last sentence, every soldier couldn't hold back his laughter.
The Japanese brigade was so powerful that even an entire division had a hard time fighting it, but in Gu Changfeng's mouth it seemed like it was natural.
However, everyone is willing to follow because they believe in Gu Changfeng's ability and the excellent treatment here.
Although there is no money to be paid, we can at least not go hungry, and the superiors are very nice. They would not be happy if we really let them go!
Gu Changfeng waited for them to finish laughing before continuing.
"Secondly, since we're out to fight the Japanese, it doesn't matter where we fight. But as the leader, I can't keep pushing you into the fire pit."
"So, we came here and we can develop slowly, and then we can lead you to destroy the Japanese division later."
"The Japanese division is just like this, don't you think?"
As soon as he explained, the conversation started and the soldiers shouted "Yes" one after another.
This is exactly the effect Gu Changfeng wanted. Only when the soldiers’ morale is boosted will they be passionate about fighting the Japanese.
If the doubts in their hearts are not resolved, problems will arise sooner or later.
"Okay, next up is the sniper trial. Anyone interested can come out and try it later."
"I now command that the trial begin."
As soon as Gu Changfeng finished speaking, the five snipers and their assistants in the front began to take up their shooting positions.
Two minutes later, under the guidance of their deputy, five snipers fired bullets one after another.
As expected, I missed the target. It might be because I'm not used to it, or it might be my own problem.
Gu Changfeng gave three chances to shoot, and they were quickly used up. Only one person barely hit the straw target.
"Don't be nervous. A sniper requires calmness, endurance, and perseverance. If it doesn't work this time, there's always another time."
"When you feel ready, you can report to the commander at any time."
Gu Changfeng didn't want to miss this opportunity. Some people's talents are acquired through fighting. The importance of having an additional long-range sniper to the team is self-evident.
Soon, it was Shuanzi's group's turn.
Shuanzi took a deep breath, leaned over to the shooting position, glanced at the straw target in the distance, and began to calculate silently in his mind.
Then, Niu Er next to him began to whisper a few words.
After calming down, Shuanzi's temperament had obviously changed a lot. He looked at Cao Target with murderous eyes, as if Cao Target was a Japanese devil.
bang bang.
The bullet cut through the air and flew towards the distant straw target.
With the first shot, five snipers hit their targets.
Then the second and third shots came. After hearing the report, Gu Changfeng's eyes suddenly lit up. Two people hit two out of three, this group's result is definitely acceptable.
Gu Changfeng was satisfied. After the test, he let ordinary soldiers try it. As a result, he really picked out a few promising ones and directly put them into the ranks of snipers.
When you have free time later, practice more and you may have a chance to get the big gun.
Gu Changfeng was really looking forward to it. If he could really train dozens of them, he would see how miserable the Japanese would be.
