Chapter 32 Attack (Part 2)

After listening to the two of them, Yuki Otsu was very surprised. During the march, Yuki Otsu was not surprised. Therefore, when sending troops, Yuki Otsuki repeatedly ordered the troops of various countries to strengthen vigilance along the way to prevent the enemy's attacks.

However, whether in Taiwan or the current Beijing-Tianjin region of China, the Chinese militia and Boxer Regiment launched attacks, they rushed forward and attacked in groups. On the one hand, this is because the Chinese militia and Boxer Regiment lacked organizational tactics and their weapons were relatively backward. Many of them were old-fashioned guns, combs, and bows and arrows, so it was impossible to conduct long-distance attacks. As long as they remain stable when attacked, don't panic and stop them with superior firepower, they can generally withstand it. The Qing army's weapons were not bad, but unfortunately the fighting spirit of the Qing army was too poor, and they dispersed as soon as they hit, which was vulnerable. However, such long-range sniping attack methods, especially the Chinese team, are very rare in the army in Western countries.

Although the range of rifles in this era generally reached five or six hundred meters, due to the lack of craftsmanship and optical equipment, accurate shooting can only be within 200 meters. In the true sense, sniper rifles will not appear until World War I. The so-called sniper rifles in this era are just to install optical scopes on ordinary rifles. But if the enemy is just a remnant Qing army, plus the Chinese people, will they use sniper tactics?

Just when Yuki Otsu was puzzled, the gunshots were still ringing. In a short while, the ten British soldiers sent out came back, but only five people came back, and all the other five were shot dead. The British soldiers did not even notice the shadow of the enemy.

The ambushing British troops was naturally the sniper team led by Luo Yue, using the qbu88 5.8mm sniper rifle.

In the old time and space, the qbu88 type 5.8mm sniper rifle was the world's first caliber sniper rifle equipped with troops, and has been widely equipped with the Chinese Army and special forces.

The 88 sniper rifle is very outstanding. Due to the unsupported structure design, the entire gun length is shortened and the maneuverability is improved. At the same time, the straight stock is also conducive to reducing the flip force couple when shooting with shoulders and improving shooting accuracy.

According to the field test comparison of the troops, the accuracy of the Type 88 sniper rifle can ensure that it hits a target with a large coin of 50 meters at a distance of 50 meters. A skilled shooter can even break the toothpick; at a distance of 100 meters, the diameter of its scattered circle does not exceed 0 mm, which can ensure that the enemy's eyes are shot; at a distance of 00 meters, a slightly trained shooter can break the target stick section by section; although the spread at a long distance has increased, within 600 meters, a well-trained shooter can still ensure that the starter hits the enemy's head. In addition, the Type 88 sniper rifle also has good environmental adaptability, low failure rate, good reliability, simple structure, and good ergonomic efficiency.

The Type 88 sniper rifle lacks: there is no dedicated 5.8mm sniper bullet tailored for it, but the 5.8mm machine gun bullet of the Type 95 squad machine gun. Therefore, compared with the special armor-piercing bullet of foreign sniper rifles, it seems that the armor-piercing power is insufficient and cannot penetrate light armored vehicles. It also makes the performance of the Type 88 sniper rifle unable to fully utilize and is more suitable for use at a medium distance of five or six hundred meters.

Therefore, some people comment that the 88 sniper rifle can only be regarded as an accurate tactical rifle, but not a standard sniper rifle, which is not completely unreasonable.

However, whether it is a sniper rifle or a precision tactical rifle, in this era, they are all weapon-level weapons. The terrain in the Dagukou area is relatively flat, with only some small hills, no large dense forests, and all trees. Such terrain is of course not suitable for close-range ambush battles, but it is still possible to conduct medium and long-range sniper battles, not to mention that there are unmanned reconnaissance helicopter patrols in the air. Therefore, in the eyes of Chinese snipers, the British and French troops are almost like living targets.

The two sniper teams of the ambush team led by Luo Yue were both ambushed at five or six hundred meters away from the British and French army to snipe British and French soldiers. Although the British army then sent ten infantry to search for snipers, the first thing was that the two sides were too far apart, and the British army could not threaten the snipers in a short period of time. Secondly, the snipers had advanced optical instruments and infrared sights, and there were unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in the air to help. The entire battlefield was almost one-sided transparent, so the two sniper teams were very calmly aiming, shooting, transfer, and then repeating again. As a result, five British soldiers were killed in just two or three minutes. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining five British soldiers hurriedly retreated.

This result surprised Yuki Otsu, Gunarson, and Gazi. No one expected that this time the troops would encounter such a situation. Will there be such a sharpshooter in the Qing army?

However, the coalition forces could not be scared away because of a sharpshooter. After a brief discussion, several people decided to increase the search force. This time, more than 70 people were sent out in a fan shape, with a width of nearly 200 meters, and surrounded the direction of the shooting. While slowly advancing, they raised their guns from time to time to shoot in the direction of the shooting. Of course, the British and French soldiers did not place their hopes on the blind cats hitting dead rats, but doing so could also bring the sniper's shooting.

Yuki Otsu, Gunnarson, and Gazi hid behind the cover and watched. They saw the soldiers of the British and French Allied Forces raising their guns and pushing forward, walking about two hundred meters away. At this moment, there was a continuous sound of gunshots "Da Da Da Da" in front of the right, which was much more obvious than the sniper gunshots just now. The British and French soldiers on the right fell to the ground and died one after another. When the other British and French soldiers heard the gunshots, they immediately fell to the ground and did not dare to move.

Yuki Otsu was also shocked. He heard that the sound should be a series of weapons such as Maxim machine guns. Has the enemy had already put the machine guns near the coalition headquarters without knowing it? Gunnarson also hurriedly ordered the soldiers to set up two British Maxim machine guns and shoot violently in the direction where they had just shot.

"Da da da da da da...da da da da..."

As the two Maxim machine guns spewed out fierce flames, they shot countless bullets into the unknown distance, and the shells were spread all over the ground like explosive beans, which also made Yuki Otsu watch it: The foreign ghost is really a waste of resources, and the bullets are like money when they are fired. Japan is a country with poor resources, and its industrial level is relatively low, and everything except people is lacking, so it saves everywhere and dares not waste it. It is decided in the tactical regulations of the Japanese Army. After the shooting is over, collect the shells as much as possible and reuse them.

The Japanese Army has always attached great importance to the training of bayonet tactics. In addition to the unique Japanese Bushido spirit, Japan lacks resources and cannot afford bullets. Therefore, seeing that the British and French are just targeting an unknown target, they are just scattered bullets. Yuki Otsu is naturally not feeling in his heart. It seems that Japan has a long way to go to rise.

After more than two minutes of shooting, the two Maxim machine guns fired at least more than a thousand bullets before they stopped shooting. But after the breeze blew away the smoke, I saw that there was nothing but the stones and trees that were broken by bullets. However, the screams of the injured soldiers could be heard faintly.

Yuki Otsu, Gunnarson, Gazi and others also looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. After a while, the British and French soldiers who were lying on the ground slowly got up, hesitated for a while before continuing to move forward. It had to be that the British and French soldiers did show high qualities. Although every soldier knew that continuing to move forward was very dangerous, the soldiers bravely moved forward without receiving the order to retreat.

Perhaps the courage of the British and French soldiers really touched God and pushed forward nearly two hundred meters, but nothing happened, and the soldiers couldn't help but feel energetic, accelerated their pace, and more determined expressions.

When Yuki Otsu, Gunnarson, Gazi and others saw it, they all breathed a little relieved. Although they didn't know what was going on, they knew that the danger had probably passed by. Yu Bi quickly ordered the medical soldiers to come and rescue the wounded.

After about fifteen minutes, the British and French soldiers retreated one after another and reported to the three, but nothing was found. The medical soldiers rescued four wounded people, two of whom died of serious injuries. Although the other two soldiers survived, they were all disabled. One British soldier's left hand was broken with elbows, and the other French soldier's right leg was shattered. The medical soldiers also told the three that they were found to have two soldiers beaten into two pieces on the battlefield.

The three of them couldn't help but be surprised. What kind of rifle is this that can cause such terrible lethality. Will the opponent they are facing really be the Qing army? Yuki Otsu suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart, which caused the idea of ​​retreating.
