Light and heavy machine guns are essential weapons for special forces. Otherwise, without brutal firepower, how can they compete with the regular army?

However, light and heavy machine guns are only one aspect.

Li Weiguo took great pains to the special forces and almost all the advanced weapons and equipment he said he knew could be made in the late 19th century.

In addition to semi-automatic rifles and light and heavy machine guns, the standard close-range fighting self-defense pistol is naturally not to be mentioned in detail. The most powerful one is also the sniper rifle.

Sniper rifles appeared a long time ago, and this is also the most preferred individual weapon and equipment for Li Weiguo, earlier than light and heavy machine guns.

At the beginning, Li Weiguo used a limited number of sniper rifles only to assassinate important figures in the enemy camp.

Li Weiguo was very careful to avoid the sniper rifle being known to the Western world too early. Therefore, when selecting snipers, loyalty is the first priority principle. Anyone with a trace of doubt cannot become a sniper.

With all the wars, the Chinese Empire's Divine Army has achieved brilliant results, and many of them are the contributions of snipers. During the battle, they shot and killed enemy soul figures, senior commanders, artillery, machine gunners, etc., disrupting the enemy's command system, making it easier for the Chinese Emperor to win victory.

There were many capable people in the Western power camp, and they soon realized the existence of this secret special force of Emperor China.

However, they did not suspect the sniper rifle, but believed that the Chinese Emperor's side had trained a group of sharpshooters alone, and in the battle, the sharpshooters played a huge role.

During the Civil War in the United States, the commander of the Southern Army was shot and killed by sharpshooters, thus turning the situation around. This is something the whole world knows. Western military experts used this to infer that the so-called special forces in the Imperial Empire was an elite sharpshooter unit.

Over the years, Western countries have also begun to vigorously train sharpshooters. They have also imitated the Chinese Empire and called sharpshooters special forces snipers.

However, they never thought that snipers were not only sharpshooters, but also had to rely on sniper rifles. Only when the two were combined could they be called snipers, and then they could be called special forces in combination with modern special combat theory.

In fact, combining the telescope and the rifle can form the most primitive sniper rifle.

This seems like a very simple thing, but no one in the Western world expected it.

Therefore, among the armies of the Western powers, their special forces snipers still use traditional rifles, but the barrel accuracy has been specially selected and the highest accuracy is equipped for snipers to use as snipers.

In this way, although the snipers of the Western powers were born, the attack distance was entirely dependent on the eyes of the sniper. Even the best hunter sniper, his vision could not exceed 20 meters.

In addition to having the eyesight of a hunter, the snipers of the Chinese Empire also need to use the help of sniper lenses to clearly see targets at a longer distance.

In the 1960s, the earliest model of sniper rifle designed by Li Weiguo used a sniper lens with a very rough magnification of only about 1.2~2.o. In the late 1970s, the Chinese Empire no longer had to rely on the West in the processing and manufacturing of optical equipment, and its own lenses could reach 3.5 times clarity.

By the 1990s, the Chinese Empire had completely surpassed the Western powers in terms of optics. Even Zeiss, the strongest German Empire, had to send people to the Chinese Empire to learn from the Royal Optoelectronic Manufacturing Group.

The latest optical sights manufactured and produced by the Royal Optoelectronics of the Chinese Empire have been reflected in the naval naval gun sighting system. The Chinese Empire naval gun hits at a long distance higher than the navy of Western countries, and the biggest contributor is the advanced optical sightings.

The sniper lens with scale value and wind deviation adjustment designed by Li Weiguo himself was created with 15 times the distance.

The sniper rifle is called Weiguo sniper rifle. It looks basically the same as Weiguo sniper rifle and Weiguo semi-automatic rifle, but it is not just an extra slide rail and an extra sniper lens on it.

The internal structure of the sniper rifle has been slightly adjusted. The capacity of ordinary Weiguo rifles is 1o, which is 7.62 standard rifle bullets. The sniper rifle is only 5, and can only be shot alone. In order to accurately shoot the target, although the bullet caliber is also 7.62, the length of the bullet has been significantly longer and more ***** is loaded. This kind of rifle bullet is secretly called special ammunition for sniper rifles.

Usually, even if a sniper is walking outside with a sniper rifle, no one else can tell how different his sniper rifle is from theirs.

Unless you look closely at the close distance, you will notice the rail above, but it is impossible to understand what the rail is used for.

Snipers are allowed to install the sniper lens onto the sniper rifle only when there is no one around them during battle.

Only when the sniper scope and rifle are combined can it become a sniper rifle, and the sniper will be worthy of its name.

All of this is for the purpose of keeping confidentiality, and all the rules were formulated by Li Weiguo himself.

Although it looks very that way, it has to be said that it is effective because so far, no real sniper rifles have been born in Western countries.

The Weiguo-style sniper rifle, plus a sniper lens, magazine and bipod, weighs 7.9 kilograms, is 1.3 meters long, 7.62 caliber, has a scale range of 15oo meters, an effective range of 1ooo meters, and the best effective killing distance is 4oo~8oo meters. It is an excellent medium-range sniper rifle, which condenses Li Weiguo's years of hard work and has been tested on the battlefield for many years, and has proven to be a very good sniper rifle and is deeply loved by the military.

The tactics of the three hundred special forces led by Duan Qirui accounted for fifty people alone, and this proportion is very high.

However, there is no way to do this. After all, sniper rifles are easy to carry, unlike heavy machine guns that require several people to carry after decomposition, so they are more flexible.

The individual equipment of special forces also includes various hand radium, including flash bombs, smoke bombs, tear gas bombs, flares, etc., tactical daggers, special radium, reconnaissance equipment, camouflage equipment, etc.

In addition to individual weapons, special forces are the first troops to be equipped with mortars.

This time, Duan Qirui's Blade Commando brought 8 mortars to use for firepower support during mountain combat.

From the perspective of equipment alone, although the Blade Commando has only one person, its firepower is equivalent to the firepower of a regiment of traditional Western troops. Every special forces soldier is a soldier king with one or ten. With equipment technology and special tactics, its combat power is comparable to a division, which is not an exaggeration.

Duan Qirui and his Blade Commando were just the vanguard troops, and the Chinese Empire's Volunteer Army would probably have to be delayed for a while before they could arrive. The most likely one was to be drawn from the Ethiopian battlefield, but the premise was that the Boers were defeated, and only if the Boers were defeated, the Chinese Empire had an excuse to send troops to help.

In this way, Duan Qirui's role is very important. He cannot make the British army win too smoothly, nor can he let the Boers win, which tests his command and combat capabilities and his overall view of the South African battlefield as a whole.

However, Duan Qirui had a strategy in his mind.

He had to destroy the British army's logistics supply line first, so that the British army was worried about logistics supply. The front line could not attack with all its might, and it would be better to lose both sides with the Boers.

Johannesburg will stage an unprecedented battle, and the Boers will stick to Johannesburg. With the help of the military advisors of the Chinese Empire, they will inevitably build high walls, dig deep trenches, spread bunkers and radium.

This tactic is best for military experts of the Chinese Empire because the Battle of Havana during the Spanish-American War was already in place.

The backward Spanish army, with the help of the Chinese Empire, dragged down America and forced Grant to give up Cuba. The biggest reason was that the radium was everywhere in the mountains and fields, and it could not be dug up anyway. It was so tired that the US military finally vomited blood.

In fact, this tactic was first adopted by the Chinese Empire. In the first few Sino-British wars, the Chinese Emperor used this tactic to kill the British army. Especially during the Battle of Guam, he faced the fierce siege of hundreds of thousands of British troops without falling, and was eventually loaded into military textbooks from countries around the world. It was cited as a classic war example and was widely circulated in the Western world.

The Boers also knew this tactic, so they attached great importance to the military aid of the Chinese Empire. With the help of the Chinese Empire's National People's Political Consultative Conference, they built a defensive position near Johannesburg. Although it was impossible to build fortifications in a hurry, trenches, machine gun bunkers, barbed wire and radium areas could be quickly arranged, especially the radium. In addition to investing all the radium aided by the Chinese Empire, the Boers also paid 50 tons of gold directly to purchase the weapons and equipment of the Chinese Empire, of which the radium alone was as high as 10,000.

In the original words of President Transvaal, "If the British army dares to attack Johannesburg, they will use one million radiums to send King Wu to heaven."

For a weak country, the importance of radium is self-evident, with a small cost and quick effect. For a strong country, this radium tactic is a nightmare for a strong country, and the United States suffered a great loss. Until now, when the US military thinks of the dense minefields in Havana, its scalp and legs are numb.

Duan Qirui believed that as long as the Boers set up a large number of minefields around Johannesburg with the help of the Chinese Emperor's affairs advisory group, it would be enough to make the British army vomit blood, and it would be absolutely difficult to break in a short period of time.

Therefore, attacking the British army's logistics supply line has become a good way to make it difficult for the British army to take care of.

"Report, a British convoy is coming!"

Just as we were about to hunt, the prey was delivered.

Duan Qirui immediately ordered the preparations for the battle, and three hundred sharp blade special forces members quickly dispersed and lie in ambush on the mountains on both sides of the road.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the British truck in front of him touched radium and exploded instantly, and a cloud of fiery red mushrooms rose.

"Enemy attack! Retreat quickly!"

A British officer looked very clever and saw that the truck in front was blown up. He immediately realized that there was an ambush and hurriedly ordered the vehicle in the rear team to turn around and exit.

It was just what he thought of, Duan Qirui had naturally thought of it long ago.

Bang!

There was another loud bang, and a British truck on the back was also blown up.

The front and rear highways were instantly blocked, and more than 20 British trucks were intercepted.

The British truck 6 continued to stop and more than one hundred British soldiers jumped from it.

"beat!"

With Duan Qirui's order, the soldiers of the Blade Commando opened fire one after another.

Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da!

Ten lightning heavy machine guns fired fiercely, faster than the bloody heavy machine gun, and even more brutal.

I saw overwhelming bullets shooting, and blood and blood flew everywhere in the blink of an eye.

The British army hid on the spot, looking for cover, and fired back.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The unique sniper rifle bullet cut through the sky, making a harsh whistle, instantly blew the British commander's head.

The British army suddenly panicked, and some fleeing people were shot and killed. Several British soldiers thought they were very smart and hid behind a big rock.

This happens to be a shooting dead end!

But it doesn't matter. Soon the portable mortar of the Sharp Blade Commando opened fire, and the shells fell accurately behind the big stone and exploded with a bang.

Bang bang bang bang!

Several British troops were killed instantly, and they didn't understand why the shell turned around until they died.

The first battle went surprisingly smoothly, and more than 100 British troops were quickly shot dead, less than five minutes before and after.

Duan Qirui was not very interested in such a battle because he could not exert the true strength of the Blade Commando.

"Reported that the truck was filled with British weapons, ammunition and supplies!"

"Pick some supplies and keep them for food. We will notify the nearby Boer army to come and get them away. If they can't get them away, they will explode!"

"yes!"

...

The British truck convoy was wiped out, and although it made the British base in Cape Town angry, it did not receive enough attention.

Chamberlain did not realize that the Chinese Empire's Shence Army had already participated in the war secretly. His intelligence showed that the Chinese Empire was indeed organizing volunteer troops, but its homeland was too far away and it would take several months to arrive in South Africa. The Balkan battlefield and the Ethiopian battlefield were not over yet. Even if the Chinese Empire drew troops from these two places, it would not dare to launch a blatant move. After all, the Chinese Empire sent troops, and the United States and other allies might send troops.

In Chamberlain's view, even if the Chinese Empire sends troops, it can only be secretly ill-hit. It is a heavy strait in the name of the volunteer army, and the scale will not be too large, so the British army can deal with it.

Moreover, Chamberlain believed that the British army had reached Frankfurt and that he would probably be able to take Johannesburg in a few days. It was estimated that the Boers in Transvaal would surrender and the war would end soon.

Chamberlain adopted the decisive tactics that he intended to completely end the war before the Chinese Empire's volunteer army or European volunteer army arrived in South Africa, creating a fait accompli, so that the Chinese Empire and European countries could only stare at me without any help.

However, in the next week, the British army's offensive on the periphery of Johannesburg was blocked, and 50,000 elite British troops were blocked by the trenches, bunkers, and the radium all over the mountains.

Not to mention the heavy casualties of the British army on the front, the logistics supply was hit one after another, and fifteen convoys were lost, causing a serious shortage of supplies for the British army on the front.

This incident finally attracted the attention of Chamberlain, and he immediately sent heavy troops to escort the convoy along the way.

Duan Qirui's tactics were very simple when burying landmines on the highway. When the British convoy stopped, he used snipers to shoot and kill the driver and British commanders from a distance.

After a while, even if the British army had heavy troops to protect the convoy, it delayed transportation time, causing the British army on the front line to be in turmoil and had no intention of fighting again.

Late at night on May 2, 1893, the turtle was huddled in the trench, and the Boer army in the bunker suddenly went out in full swing and took the initiative to attack the British positions.

Since the British army has been attacking the side for a month, the Boer army has been passively defending and never counterattacked, which has caused the British army to be careless, and the British army was caught off guard. The main force of 50,000 British troops was defeated, with more than half of them killed or injured.

The British army was completely defeated, and the Boer army chased and drove the British army back to Cape Town. There were only less than 3,000 British troops left.
