Chapter 60 Shooting Team

The training of the troops began early the next morning. During this period, our mission was actually to eliminate Vietnamese agents, so there seemed to be no conflict with the military operations at this time, because we could completely drive the troops out with the name of clearing Vietnamese agents, but in fact, we were conducting actual combat exercises of the troops.

In addition, there are some remaining landmines, bamboo stick arrays and other things on the high ground. No one can even guarantee whether there are still Vietnamese agents hidden among the piles of rocks. Therefore, the soldiers' exercises were surprisingly serious, just like they were really on the battlefield. It would be impossible not to be true! Those who accidentally broke their arms, legs, or even lost their lives. No one dared to joke about their lives.

Because time is limited, the training subject is the most commonly used offense and defense on the battlefield. Of course, the offense is no longer a group attack like before, but a mutual cover-up attack with the observation and cooperation of snipers. The soldiers are still very easy to accept this. After all, everyone has fought for several days, and everyone knows that once they fight, if they all rushed forward in groups like before, they would not be able to attract the Vietnamese army to form bullets.

Moreover, it seems not difficult to achieve such mutual cover and forward pass. In addition, every two soldiers are led by a fifth company warrior, so in less than half a day, the soldiers have learned to behave well. However, the cooperation between them is still a little bit bad. There is no way to do it like the fifth company, even if no one commands it, it can spontaneously achieve "you have me and I have you" even if there is no command.

In fact, the main difficulty of this tactic is not the formation, the skills of finding cover, but the intimate cooperation between each group and even each company. Only when the cooperation is good, each group and each company can fully utilize the advantages of weapons of different ranges and exert as strong combat power as a whole. The soldiers of the Fourth Company and the Sixth Company have been trained in a short period of time, although they have achieved similar shapes, they have not mastered its essence. However, I believe that as long as they are given more time, they will soon be proficient in using this tactical offense and play a role in the battlefield.

As for defense, this is not much different from the original tactics of the soldiers. After all, no matter what kind of defense it is, it is to seize advantageous terrain and build fortifications. However... in this, I still taught the "reverse slope" tactics and "fuel-adding tactics" used by the volunteer army to the soldiers, and asked all the soldiers to conduct practical exercises according to these two defensive tactics.

Actually, I also know that now is our army's full attack on the Vietnamese army, and the Vietnamese army is not prepared enough and the troops are empty, so our army rarely enters a defensive state. The soldiers have very few opportunities to use these two tactics. But the so-called "knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated in a hundred battles", although these two tactics were first used by us Chinese and brought them to the extreme, they are now learned by the Vietnamese and used to deal with our army. On the contrary, our army... but for various reasons, many soldiers and even commanders do not know the existence of these two tactics...

Therefore, I think it is very necessary for soldiers, especially grassroots commanders, to know how these two tactics operate and how to defend through actual combat drills. Only in this way can grassroots commanders know how to deal with the Vietnamese army that uses these two tactics to confront our army when encountering emergencies.

Of course, I don't need to do these things myself.

When it comes to organizing offense, the soldiers of the fifth company are already familiar with it. Li Zhifu, the company commander of the fifth company, cooperated with Xu Yongjian, the company commander of the fourth company, to train the fourth company. Needless to say, the sixth company... As the company commander of the sixth company and a family with a lot of training experience, he will naturally kill his soldiers! The facts also prove that the transformation speed of the sixth company is much faster than that of the fourth company, and it is stronger than the fourth company in terms of cooperation in offense and weapon coordination.

The "reverse slope tactics" and "fuel-adding tactics" of defense are not even good at the fifth company. However, the soldiers have fought with the Vietnamese army. The positions we captured are prototype positions for these tactical positions left by the Vietnamese army. I just need to take the soldiers to walk around these positions, and then explain the Vietnamese army's military dispatch in accordance with the positions and tunnels. The soldiers quickly understood. Then let the soldiers find a few high grounds to build several "reverse slope positions" and experience the wonderful uses of the "fuel-adding tactics". I just pointed at them, and all the problems were solved.

Of course, I don’t have to do anything. In fact, I am busier than anyone else, because at this time... there were more than a dozen members of the shooting team standing in front of me. These members were soldiers with good comprehensive qualities such as marksmanship and psychological qualities selected by each company. Each company selected five people, with a total of fifteen people, including Li Shuibo.

"Comrades!" Looking at the team in front of me, the cold gun troops that were in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea suddenly appeared in my mind. Although I knew that their equipment, marksmanship and quality could not be compared with the cold gun troops, the pride and confidence they revealed in their eyes were just as different from those of the cold gun troops.

"Comrades!" After hesitating for a while, I said to the members of the shooting team in front of me: "You have all fought wars, and more or less heard of the "snipers" of the Vietnamese army. Some comrades have seen their power, and even watched their comrades fall under their guns with their own eyes. Do you still remember what it feels like to watch their comrades fall in front of them?"

"Remember!" the soldiers answered in unison.

Although I have only fought for a few days, every soldier has inevitably experienced such things. The feeling of being talking to me just now, but dying by my side in a blink of an eye can never talk to me again is particularly shocking for the recruits who have never experienced life and death before, and have never experienced the battlefield. However, during this period, everyone is on the battlefield where life and death are at a loss, and they have no time to consider these issues, so they have never shown it. Once I mentioned it, everyone has a look of missing comrades and hating their enemies.

I glanced at the soldiers coldly, and shouted to them viciously: "When your comrades were hit by Vietnamese snipers and were lying in a pool of blood, and screaming in front of you, and when you were waiting for your help, what were you doing?"

As soon as I yelled, all the soldiers were speechless. I am also a sniper and have done the work of borrowing wounded to fight for help, so I know very well what that situation is. Just as when Squad Leader Wu of the Fifth Company died, all those who ran up to rescue impulsively fell under the enemy's guns, and those who could stand here alively, needless to say... they all did not rush up.

Of course, the meaning of my question was not to scold them for not rushing up, nor to scold them as turtles. In fact, I also felt that such unnecessary sacrifice was not worth it. This was also the reason why Squad Leader Wu sacrificed in front of us alive, but I ordered the soldiers not to come forward to rescue him.

"You! You! And you..." I pushed them one by one without any hesitation, my tone was full of contempt, and shouted at them: "What were you doing at that time? Answer me!"

The soldiers all lowered their heads, even Li Shuibo was the same. I know that Li Shuibo remembered Squad Leader Wu who died in front of him.

"What are you doing? Answer me!" I shouted at them almost hoarsely.

"Report to the battalion commander!" Finally, a soldier stood up and replied, "We did nothing!"

"Did nothing! Did nothing..." I repeated several sentences, one sentence louder than the other. Finally, I asked again: "Why?"

"Report to the battalion commander!" Another soldier stood up and replied: "Because the Japanese's guns are better than us! Their rifles have a longer range than us!"

"Is there anyone who thinks the same thing as him?" I asked coldly.

"Report! I think so too!" Another soldier stood up: "The Rifles used by the Yue Japanese are equipped with scopes, and they are quite cunning. They are always hiding outside our range..."

"Is there anyone else?" I asked again.

No one spoke anymore, but no one knew what medicine I sold in the gourd.

"Very good!" I nodded and said to the two soldiers: "You can return to your company!"

"Battery Commander..." The two soldiers had no idea what they had done wrong, and they forgot about me in confusion. In fact, it was not just the two of them, but the other soldiers were also somewhat puzzled.

"Do you want to know the reason?" I replied firmly: "What you said is true, but there are never so many reasons on the battlefield. There are only victory and defeat, only life and death on the battlefield. Why don't you think about what weapons we used when facing the little Japanese, what weapons we used when facing the ***, and what weapons we used when facing the Americans!"

Looking at the speechless warriors, I continued, "The weapons in your hands are indeed not as good as those of the Yuejiu, but you also have semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns. Why don't you think about it? Our ancestors can defeat the Japanese with bolt-pull rifles with just three bullets per gun. Our ancestors can defeat the enemy's weapons by just seizing the enemy's weapons. Our parents can defeat the Americans' plane cannons with just 38 Gai and Mosinnagan! But what about you? When you die under the Yuejiu gun, can you still complain that your weapons are not as good as those of the enemy, and can you blame the range of the rifle as that of the Yuejiu?"

"No!" the soldiers stood up and replied.

The two soldiers' faces changed. After hesitating for a while, they finally saluted me and left the team. So there were only thirteen people left in the shooting team without a few words.

Actually, I don’t want to do this, but I have to do this, because I don’t want the soldiers to always think that the weapons in their hands are not as good as those of the Vietnamese army, and their morale is a little shorter before they can be opened. I want them to understand that this is the current equipment situation. We must accept this fact and find a way to defeat the enemy with this kind of equipment that has become a fact.

After watching the two soldiers leave reluctantly, I raised the rifle in my hand and said, "Look at the gun in my hand, and then look at the gun in the hands of the fifth company soldier Li Shuibo! This kind of gun does not exist in our army. This is the rifle used by the Vietnamese snipers. Where did we come from? We used 56 and a half to grab the Vietnamese snipers! We could seize this kind of rifle, why can't you? Because we... did not do anything like you! We just used 56 and a half to kill the Vietnamese snipers!"

I raised the rifle in my hand high and walked back and forth a few steps in front of the soldiers so that each of them could see clearly. Then I shouted at them: "Now... tell me! Next time you meet the sniper of the Viet Japanese, will you still do nothing?"

"No!" the soldiers replied loudly.

"What are you going to do?" I asked again.

"Kill them! Kill them!"

"I used 56 and half to seize their guns!"

...

The soldiers raised the rifles in their hands and shouted, hoping to go to the battlefield immediately and seized an svd sniper rifle like us, like us.

This is exactly what I want. At least I have successfully helped them overcome their fear of Vietnamese snipers. As a "sharpshooter" who deals with Vietnamese snipers, if we are still struggling that the rifles in our hands are not as good as those in the enemy, we are afraid that most of the members will be lost after a few battles. Even if we can seize a few sniper rifles, the shooting team in my hands will be almost gone, and this is definitely not what I want.

Of course, I also know that it is not enough to defeat the enemy by just morale and mental state. If this is the case, I am afraid that our army would have defeated the Vietnamese army long ago. So in the following time, I quickly began training them.

Considering that they are all good marksman soldiers selected from the company, the focus of my training is not on marksmanship. In fact, I have always believed that as a sniper, the more important thing is not marksmanship. It is how to hide yourself and correctly analyze and judge the opponent's position based on the information you have mastered.

If you can do this, you will undoubtedly have the initiative on the sniper battlefield. If you cannot kill your opponent in this situation, it seems that you can only blame the lack of psychological quality or the lack of hard work in daily training.

So training for the soldiers became simple. I seemed to just need to use the set of cold gun troops that had been trained in the past. The difference is that the cold gun troops lurked in the snow before, but now... we are in the jungle.

I have to admit that sniper battles in the jungle are more difficult and more complicated than sniper battles in the snow. The reason is very simple. Although it is also conducive to hiding in the snow. Nothing can be seen when heavy snow is covered, but often the position will be exposed as soon as the gunfire will be exposed. The gunfire will expose the general direction of the target. The vibration during the shooting will shake off some snow. It is impossible for the sniper to transfer the position on the empty snow field. After the sniper hits the target, he can only stay in place and wait for the sky to get out of the position... These make sniper battles in the snow simple, difficult and boring!

However, all these problems are gone in sniper warfare in the jungle. The grass, trees, etc. in the jungle can become a good stealth place for snipers. Snipers can use these environments to freely launch and show their capabilities. As long as they master the route, they can truly change the place when shooting one shot. In addition, the interference of branches, slitting strips and other branches in the jungle makes jungle sniper warfare very complicated.

Fortunately, this is the case, which greatly reduces the gap between the range of 56 and 400 meters and the range of svd over kilometers. Otherwise, if it is in the snow or plains, I think 56 and 56 can't beat Svd.

It is precisely because of this that the first subject of our shooting team is how to hide ourselves and get close to the enemy. This is particularly important for our army, which is mostly 56 and a half. Just as the soldiers said, because of range, we often face a difficulty, that is, the Vietnamese army will be able to fight us, but we cannot fight the Vietnamese army.

There is no doubt that if we want to kill the enemy, we must get close to the enemy, and we cannot let the enemy discover it in this process. Otherwise, we will be a "death before we succeed."

But at this time another problem arose. It is conceivable... If the snipers of both sides of the enemy are in line with each other, we are within the enemy's range and the enemy is outside our range, and in this case, we are close to the enemy's sniper... Then I am afraid that except for the Vietnamese sniper, I will have to rely on luck to win.

For this reason, I suddenly remembered that there was a time when facing several Vietnamese troops holding AK47s. When they were dealing with me with a long range, they used one of the Vietnamese troops to lurk in place and the rest of the Vietnamese troops retreated to attract me to chase. During the process of chasing, I unknowingly entered the range of the lurking Vietnamese troops...

This is indeed a good idea. It can not only turn passive into activeness, but also lurk in the dark and wait for prey to approach. So I quickly promoted this method I learned from the Vietnamese army to the shooting team. In other words, the shooting team is no longer independent of "sharpshooters" and also requires cooperation with each other.

And I was inspired by this method and thought of another way of cooperation... Once the Vietnamese snipers were stationed in a certain place without being deceived or chasing, they would use several members on the front to attack, while the flanks sent other members to detour. If they still couldn't fight, they would have to call for artillery fire and explode.
