Chapter 601: Cold Attack, Call for Reinforcements.

The distance of 1,600 meters is a bit too far for a sniper.

At this distance, it is not impossible to hit a person, but when the bullet scattering area is much larger than the human body, hitting the human body becomes an event with a very small probability. In layman's terms, it depends on luck. If you are lucky, the chance of hitting the human body is small. If you hit, you hit. If you don't hit, it's not bad luck. It can only be said to be normal.

If you want to change this situation, one of the best ways is to increase the caliber of the gun and strengthen the power of the ammunition so that the straight trajectory of the bullet after exiting the chamber can be maintained longer. However, the current large-caliber sniper rifles have basically achieved the goal of protecting the human body. The limit of what it can withstand, even if it can withstand the recoil when the gun is fired, if the gun continues to be made larger, individual soldiers will not be able to carry it in combat, and the meaning of the gun will be lost. Therefore, although 14.5 mm caliber anti-material snipers have appeared rifles, but the mainstream is still 12.7 mm caliber.

Another way is to modify the gun to increase the accuracy as much as possible, using methods such as full manual polishing and assembly, so that the mass-produced sniper rifle can greatly improve the accuracy. However, this method has limits, as long as the physical rules do not change, and humans The overall technological level has not been updated, so no matter how modified it is, the sniper rifle cannot achieve satisfactory accuracy at a distance of more than 1,600 meters.

A 12.7mm caliber sniper rifle is basically a hurdle at 1,300 meters. Cui Bo's gun was modified by Jack, but it is a bit reluctant to hit human targets at a distance of 1,300 meters, because Barrett The m82 was originally designed as an anti-material sniper rifle. It can hit human-sized targets at a distance of 1,300 meters. Jack has done an amazing job.

Cui Bo would basically not try targets at a distance of more than 1,600 meters, although the current record for the longest sniper kill in the world is more than 2,000 meters. But that is a battle example created when facing an enemy who has no power to fight back. You can shoot at will to cover up. It doesn't matter if you can't cover up, there will be no danger.

But Cui Bo couldn't. He has no stable logistics. Every time you fire a bullet in a battle, you lose one, and wasting bullets is not a good habit. Also, he has to pay for his own bullets, they are not issued by the public, and. 12.7mm sniper rounds are very expensive.

Cui Bo's gun didn't work, and Gao Yang didn't even have to think about it. His gun wasn't that big, but it couldn't reach that far, but when the bullet could reach a distance of 1,600 meters, he didn't know where it would fly.

What a sniper rifle can't do, a cannon can do.

Artillery shells are area-killing weapons, and they only need to be able to hit within a general range. The distance of 1,600 meters is trivial for mortars and can ensure sufficient accuracy.

Of course, you can shoot the cannon with the desired accuracy. To reach the level required for sniper operations, neither ordinary gunners nor good gunners can do it, nor even very good gunners. Only true master gunners can do it.

It is clear,

Tommy is the artilleryman, there is no ambiguity, he is the artilleryman in the literal sense.

Sharp artillerymen appear frequently in all ** teams, but it is China that gathers them together for sniper tactics.

During the Korean War, the Chinese army carried out large-scale cold gun and cold artillery activities, and the so-called cold gun and cold artillery activities were sniper tactics.

Now, when both Gao Yang and Cui Bo were powerless against the enemy's snipers due to distance, Tommy took over the task of sniping the enemy.

For a sniper, it is not just about how many enemy people are killed. It is certainly a good thing to be able to eliminate the enemy's commander or valuable targets, but the most important thing is to cause psychological pressure on the enemy. He may not have the chance to shoot or fire. , but as long as you stay on the battlefield, you can make the enemy fearful.

After Tommy's two cannonballs knocked the two people trying to rescue to the ground, Grolev picked up the last cannonball around him and prepared to put the shell into the muzzle, while Tommy continued to observe.

A mercenary group with combat effectiveness must be united, which is the minimum, and the synonym for unity is that the relationship between the members is very good. When they see a member being injured, they will rescue them at all costs.

In order to rescue one person, several lives or even dozens of lives are lost. This kind of thing is not uncommon on the battlefield. Even just to retrieve the body of a comrade, some people are willing to pay the price with their lives.

As long as it is a fighting team, there will definitely be a friendship between comrades. This friendship that is not afraid of life and death can be just two people, it can be a few people, or a dozen people, but it will definitely be there.

Snipers often choose to wound a target rather than kill it so they can wait for the target's comrades to try to rescue him before causing more damage. This is an extremely common tactic.

Gao Yang had used this tactic when he first came into contact with the Angel mercenary group, so he wounded the Angel's sniper instead of killing it.

Grolev also said one thing, that is, during the Battle of Grozny, a soldier was shot in the stomach by a Chechen sniper and lay on the ground wailing. In order to save him, a total of thirteen comrades fell to the enemy. under the gun.

Is it worth it to sacrifice thirteen people just to save one?

From a purely mathematical perspective, it is not worth it, very worthless, but for soldiers, when they see their closest and most familiar people lying on the ground wailing, no one will consider this simple mathematical problem, of course. The premise is that the relationship is good enough.

For the Satan mercenary group, for Gao Yang and the others, if someone is injured and needs to risk their lives to save others, no one will hesitate. In fact, they have done this many times.

For the Homczny Mercenary Group, they are also a very combat-effective mercenary group, so they are united enough. Although they are enemies with the Satan Mercenary Group, their way of thinking and behavior will not be any different. .

Three people fell to the ground, and one of them was still writhing and crying on the ground, so what happened next was a matter of course.

Gao Yang suddenly heard the sound of a bullet passing through the air, and he immediately knew that the enemy sniper had opened fire.

If the enemy wants to repel Gao Yang and the others, it would be best to kill Tommy, but unfortunately, the distance is an insurmountable obstacle for Gao Yang and Cui Bo, as well as for them.

Gao Yang yelled: "The sniper opened fire, take cover!"

Tommy knelt down on one knee to take aim. After hearing the high-pitched roar, he lowered his body but continued to observe. At this time, Cui Bo shouted: "Artillery attack! Coordinates. Instruction a14e20, repeat, coordinate a14e20! Effective shot!"

Cui Bo discovered the location where the sniper was hiding, so he directly called for artillery fire. However, although the coordinates were reported, the effectiveness of the shot required a certain response time to adjust the muzzle.

The so-called effectiveness shot means to shoot accurately, and then hit as many shells as possible at the same time without giving the enemy time to escape. However, although the artillery of the Skeleton Gang is under the command of Zhou Zhou, they must complete the effectiveness shot. The time cannot be too short.

The Skeleton Gang's cannons are too small, and one or two cannon shells are useless. At least ten or eight cannons must be fired at the same time to make up for the lack of power with quantity. And when enough cannons are aimed and fired, it has been It was twenty seconds later.

At least a dozen mortar shells fell down and then exploded at the coordinate point indicated by Cui Bo. But after such a long time, the enemy snipers must have run far away if they were not idiots. However, even if Even if it's useless, you have to fire. At least let the enemy's sniper know that as long as he dares to shoot, there will definitely be shells fired.

Although slow, it is very accurate. This is also a deterrent. At least it can let the enemy know not to think about firing unscrupulously at the same location.

When Cuibo called for artillery fire, Tommy remained motionless, observing the wounded enemy who fell to the ground.

The enemy soon appeared again, this time there were two people, running out from different places. They ran in a zigzag route and quickly approached the injured person who fell to the ground.

Tommy won't hit the running enemy, he just needs to be ready to hit the injured person.

The enemy snipers opened fire again, and this time at least five sniper rifles fired at the same time, as well as two heavy machine guns, firing suddenly and continuously from places they had previously thought were not firepower points.

Tommy was at the edge of the woods. He and Grolev were kneeling on one knee in the dug-out individual bunker, with only one head exposed. Although the target was not big, Gao Yang was still worried that they would hit the enemy's snipers and machine guns. It is no longer a matter of chance to fire at the same time as a sniper rifle, but there is a very high possibility of hitting two people.

Neither Tommy nor Grolev were ignorant. The moment they discovered that the enemy was firing, they immediately fell down in the foxhole. However, after lying down, Tommy's hand was still steady. Holding the gun barrel steady, it didn't move at all.

Cui Bo continued to call for artillery fire. At the same time, the two men who were trying to rescue their comrades continued to run towards the wounded man. When they were still twenty or thirty meters away, the two men lay down and began to crawl forward.

At this moment, Tommy, who looked up, suddenly said loudly: "Let go!"

Grolev immediately put the cannonball into the barrel. When the cannonball fell with a long sound, the two men immediately stopped moving forward.

The shell exploded not far from the wounded enemy, but failed to cause any damage to the two enemies who were trying to save them. If they had run over while standing, the shell would have been effective, but the enemy would not be so stupid.

At this moment, Tommy suddenly shouted on the intercom: "Three artillery! Rocket launcher! Coordinates a14e23!"

Tommy called not the artillery but Zhou Zhou, because he knew that the artillery's response was too slow, but Zhou Zhou's response would be very fast.

Sure enough, almost as soon as Tommy finished speaking, not two seconds passed. Just when the two enemies started to move, 107mm rockets roared towards them.

The rockets could not fall at the same time, but they landed and exploded at very short intervals. Gao Yang was counting, and a total of twelve rockets fell.

Although the accuracy of the rockets was not high and the scattering area was large, the impact was also large. Looking at the area enveloped by the explosive power of the rockets, Gao Yang immediately knew that the two people who were trying to save people were dead.
