In terms of accuracy, the rifles of this era are actually very good. Among them, the accuracy of 98K is indeed one of the top rifles. In addition, the rifles of this era are overpowered and can easily hit seven or eight hundred meters away. At this distance, it is beyond the effective range, but if you really take a shot, you will die. Therefore, within the effective distance, accuracy can still be guaranteed. Especially the sniper model.
The so-called sniper models are rifles in which the best barrels are specially selected for mounting scopes during production. The trigger has also been modified. Although it sounds like it, it is still not comparable to the professional sniper rifles of later generations. In fact, it really can't be compared.
But in this era, it is also very powerful. According to later research, German snipers, using the sniper model 98K, can hit the target's head very efficiently at a distance of 300 meters. At a distance of 600 meters, it can hit the target's chest very efficiently. Of course, this is just a summary of the research accuracy. In actual combat, they basically hit the opponent's torso, and no one specifically aims at the opponent's head.
As long as the first thing to think about is to aim at someone's head, it is basically done by amateurs or outsiders. Because sometimes, the opponent is injured but not killed. At this time, at least one other person is needed to take care of the injured, or to come to treat the injured, thus being hit by the sniper again.
So if you shoot a hole in the opponent's head and let the opponent die cleanly, this effect will not be achieved at all. In addition, the torso has a larger impact area and the bullet has a higher hit rate. Moreover, as long as it is hit, it will also make the enemy lose its combat ability. Even if he does not die, he will have to drag down several people to take care of the enemy. Why not?
So is there really no time to aim at the head? Of course there is. And there are quite a few. Because the other party may only show one head under certain circumstances.
For example, in a certain bunker, if the target only reveals its head, then naturally you can only aim at the opponent's head. However, except for some very special reasons, when the torso and head are both exposed, even if the world's best master comes, he will definitely choose to hit the opponent's torso instead of the head.
Therefore, people who pursue headshots anytime and anywhere are almost all amateur players, or they only appear in some kind of game. In reality, no professional sniper would do this. But be sure to remember, except for special circumstances. There are some situations where a headshot is necessary, so naturally you have to hit the enemy with a headshot.
The next day, Hua Zhang went out again. When he came back, he told Fan Keqin that everything had been done. Then he told Fan Keqin all about the safe house set up by Wang Zhanyuan on South Square Street.
The equipment still needs to wait a few days. Of course, the sniper rifle does not have to be transferred here from the headquarters. It is too far and time-consuming. The Security Bureau has many branches, and the equipment transferred from places like Beijing and Tianjin is the same.
Fan Keqin asked Hua Zhang to go to the outskirts of the city and find a secret open area. When the equipment arrives, he needs to try it out first. Therefore, the distance should be slightly further away, so that others don't notice you when you are firing the gun.
Fan Keqin himself also went out. We had breakfast on the street, and then strolled to the south side of the Puppet Manchukuo State Council Building Square.
Fan Keqin did not immediately inspect the safe house. Instead, he blended in with the crowd and started walking on the street. First of all, the approximate sniper location must be this area, so he needs to carefully examine all the departments in this area that can respond after the gunfire, and even the various situations on the street.
After walking around all morning, I found a restaurant with a good view, had lunch, and then walked around the streets for two hours. After most of the day, the area south of the square has basically been imprinted on Fan Keqin's heart.
What is the flow of people on which street? There are probably some shops on both sides of the road. There are some support points from the Puppet Manchukuo police department, city patrol department, etc. on that street. He had already recorded it all in his mind.
Then Fan Keqin began to inspect several safe houses owned by Wang Zhanyuan near Plaza South Street. There is no special pattern in the distribution of these houses, the distance between them, etc.
Wang Zhanyuan is also a veteran in this field. When he chooses a safe house, he goes with the flow and does not deliberately create some situations so that the safe house is located on a certain street or somewhere.
But wherever there is a house that happens to be rented, or the buyer needs to rent something, he will use the most normal means to get the safe house.
However, after inspecting these safe houses, Fan Keqin felt that these safe houses were not suitable for establishing sniper points. Angle and field of view eliminated all three of the four safe houses.
Although the last safe house has a view and angle, it is too close to the street entrance. Because of this, it is relatively far from the support point of the Puppet Manchukuo behind.
In this case, after the gunshot was fired, the first thing to do was to be at the head of the street. The hidden sentry set up by the Puppet Manchukuo could immediately hear a general direction and range from the gunshot.
Moreover, it is relatively far away from the Puppet Manchukuo support point behind, so after the gunfire, the distance to escape will be relatively far. The support point behind is likely to block this area before they can withdraw from the danger zone. Once it is really blocked, then I am afraid that I have only one way to break through. In this situation, the danger will be greatly increased.
After Fan Keqin denied all four safe houses, he asked Wang Zhanyuan to leave a safe house at the farthest end from the square of the State Council Building in Puppet Manchuria as a backup place for himself and Hua Zhang. The remaining three safe houses were all quietly removed. From now on, manpower will be gradually withdrawn from Changchun.
Only five field elites including Wang Zhanyuan were left. But these five people should not continue to investigate here. Fan Keqin believes that the information they have now is enough. Even if they stay to investigate and discover other situations, I am afraid that it will be too late to activate other plans.
So what do they stay for? Fan Keqin asked them to investigate the roads, railways, and even waterways that can lead to and from Changchun City. As long as there are openings that can be accessed, as many openings as possible should be mastered. Let them circle around the edge of the city if they have nothing to do.
Also, when they were scouting the entrances and exits, they had to find a few available vehicles in the city and write down their locations...
