You must know that the reason why the grenade is highly praised and relied on by the Japanese army lies in its concealment and accuracy.
A grenade that weighs less than 3 kilograms and is only a few dozen centimeters in length. The Japanese grenade launcher can just find a depression or bunker to lie down, and can load and shoot in less than a minute. Moreover, it can also hit in a straight direction, and the firing speed is very fast. Fast, even if it cannot be launched accurately in a hurry, a burst of random explosions in the woods will still cause considerable damage to the ambushing second team.
Therefore, attacking the Japanese grenadiers became the first task of the detachment.
This is why so far, no Japanese grenadier has been able to launch even a single grenade.
After the bombardment started, Zhou Wen and others killed the Japanese radio operator, and then began to look for the Japanese soldiers who did not carry guns, held grenade tubes like pumps in their hands, and carried bulging backpacks on their backs. Each of the brothers aimed and shot at the first opportunity.
The sniper position they were in was not in the woods, but on a high ground further away, at odds with the firepower in the woods.
Snipers and precision shooters all wore white cloaks, and white cloth was spread in front of the dug positions. Unless they came up close to take a closer look, from a distance they completely blended in with the surrounding snow and were completely undetectable.
Moreover, everyone, including Zhang Xiaoping, used G31 semi-automatic rifles with suppressors, so the sound was basically inaudible 200 meters away, not to mention that their position was more than 400 meters away from Wazikou.
This resulted in the Japanese grenadier who began to panic and was eager to find a bunker after being hit by artillery, and was constantly knocked down by silent bullets.
This time Zhou Wen temporarily ignored the Japanese officers and sergeants, and just ordered everyone to stare at the Japanese grenade launchers.
Especially when the Japanese army gathered troops to attack the woods, although the formation was dense, it was not difficult to find those distinctive grenade launchers even if most of the precision shooters in a detachment were only equipped with 2.5x scopes. .
It is because the grenade launched by the Japanese army in the Taisho decade has a range of only 175 meters. If you want to be able to support the infantry attack in time, you must follow the first batch of charging troops, which is very easy to identify.
Under this circumstance, even the disciples of the Wudang Longmen Sect who participated in the battle for the first time all made gains, which was considered a success.
Zhao Xiaojin, who had missed a sniper attack on a tree under the mountain before, had already killed four Japanese soldiers in a row, either holding a grenade in his hand or carrying an ammunition bag.
Zhao Xiaojin has such performance, not to mention Zhou Wen who has better eyesight and shooting speed.
While Zhou Wen was shooting calmly, he was still silently counting the number of Japanese soldiers killed.
Miaohua, who was lying next to him with a telescope to help him find the target, was a little strange, because this time Zhou Wen's target was not only the grenade launcher, but also any Japanese soldier who came into his sight.
You can see Zhou Wen's gun muzzle beating constantly, with a consistent rhythm. It doesn't feel too fast or too slow, but every time he shoots, the Japanese soldiers fall down, as if they are acting, and the Japanese soldiers pointed by the gun muzzle automatically fall to the ground. None of them are empty.
Miaohua was already shocked by his shooting skills when she first met Zhou Wen, but at that time she just felt that he was accurate and stable. Even on the Songhu battlefield, I had the same feeling. It was no longer strange.
But this time the feeling was different. Zhou Wen's shooting was as accurate and stable as ever, but this time it had some inexplicable meaning, and he was focused on shooting without even raising his head. Unlike previous battles, he at least had to look around and constantly remind and give instructions.
After observing for a long time, Miaohua finally discovered that Zhou Wen was different from before. It felt that his shooting rhythm had not changed much from before, but the gap between each shot became shorter. If it weren't for Miaohua, The Qi Jinjing master's keen observation ability, coupled with the fact that he often served as Zhou Wen's observer and was used to Zhou Wen's shooting rhythm, was why he discovered this subtle change.
In other words, Zhou Wen's shooting is now faster and more urgent than before. Maybe each shot is only a few tenths of a second faster, but with 10 bullets from a magazine, it is one or two seconds faster than before.
Don't underestimate this one or two seconds, because you are not shooting targets, but sniping at moving targets on the battlefield. First of all, you need to find and lock the target faster, aim and shoot faster, and also That is, you can fire faster than before.
Although Miaohua has congenital flaws in long-range shooting, it does not mean that he does not understand the essence of shooting. He knows that every excellent shooter will inevitably develop his own unique shooting rhythm and style after long-term training and fighting. Frequency, this is a characteristic brought about by habit and gun feel.
However, changing the usual shooting rhythm usually occurs only in emergencies and unavoidable situations. For example, there are too many enemies that threaten you, or you are in a crisis and must kill more enemies in a short time, etc.
However, in today's situation, there are many enemies, but it is an exaggeration to say that they can threaten the mercenary group.
Why did Zhou Wen suddenly speed up his shooting pace? It seems like he is racing against time. Could it be that he wants to compete and bet with others? Never heard of it!
Moreover, it is impossible to find anyone who can compete with Zhou Wenyi in shooting, not to mention people outside, even in the mercenary group, not even Zhang Xiaoping, who is known as the number one sniper in the mercenary group.
Maybe Zhang Xiaoping can compete with Zhou Wen in the accuracy of long-distance shooting, but there is still a gap in shooting speed and stability.
Miaohua looked a little puzzled, but it was impossible to ask clearly in the battle now, not to mention that Zhou Wen was in a good state now. This kind of shooting rhythm and accuracy, including his continuous movements of changing magazines, They all had an indescribable rhythm. Miaohua was so impressed that she couldn't bear to interrupt.
In fact, Miaohua guessed correctly. Zhou Wen was indeed competing against a person, a person that every sniper regarded as an idol and monument. A few years later, this man would set a sniper record that would remain unsurpassed until later generations, namely killing 542 enemy officers and soldiers in 100 days.
This man was Simon Heyer, a Finnish private first class during the Soviet-Finnish Winter War that broke out in 1939-1940, and was made the world's number one sniper of the White Death by his enemies.
If he hadn't been hit in the jaw by a Soviet dum bomb in a close battle, causing him to be seriously injured and withdraw from the battlefield, perhaps his number of sniper kills would have been even more astonishing.
