Chapter 307 Support from Kilometers Away

Laura saw a group of people chasing a man in the middle of the tower complex below.

It was Ross's man, the helmsman of the Endurance, Angus Isolation Marty.

This guy is the old man of the Crawford family. In his early years, he followed Laura's father Richard to do archaeological research everywhere.

Later, after Richard had Laura, he gradually retired and started working in shipping with Ross.

Although the old man is over 50 years old, he walks very fast. The group of locals behind him tried to catch up with him for a long time but failed.

Just as Laura was about to go forward to help Angus, Luke's voice came from the communicator.

"Laura, you sneak up quietly, I'll come to support Angus. I'm on the hill opposite you."

Laura replied to Luke, but she didn't know how Luke would support her.

But soon, she saw Luke's support.

After Ross left, Luke found a cave near the camp.

There are many bodies of Japanese soldiers from World War II.

Among the corpses, Luke picked out a well-preserved Type 38 rifle and a lot of bullets.

So Luke mobilized the "wisdom of the workers" and strengthened this old rifle.

The Type 38 rifle is the familiar Type 38 rifle.

It was born in 1905 and was named after the th year of the Meiji Emperor's reign, so it is called the Type rifle. Its full name is: Type Infantry Gun.

It features the 6.5x50 Arisaka rifle bullet, which has very high shooting accuracy and a relatively straight trajectory.

Some people say that its lethality is insufficient, as it will either hit a vital point or cause a penetrating wound.

In fact, these are all rumors.

The lethality is compared with the large-caliber full-power rifle bullets commonly found in Europe and the United States.

The muzzle energy of those bullets is generally around 3500 joules.

The Type 2600 Arisaka rifle bullet is only around joules.

But the M47 bullet used by AK43 is only around 2000 joules. Do you think the Type is less lethal than the AK?

Obviously not, even though the caliber is small, it is still a full-power rifle bullet.

Its bullet is longer and is more likely to cause tumbling and cavity effects after entering the human body.

Therefore, the rumor that the Type 38 rifle has weak lethality is completely false.

Another advantage is the barrel length.

Although it has no length advantage compared to the mainstream rifles of other countries during World War I, it uses 6.5mm ammunition.

This ammunition, combined with its long barrel, allows the gunpowder to burn fully in the barrel.

The result is that its muzzle flash is quite small, making it difficult to detect even when shooting at long distances at night.

Because the 6.5mm bullet is light and long, the bullet's flight trajectory is quite straight.

This gave it an effective range that exceeded that of the mainstream full-power rifles of the time.

The only rifle that can rival it is the Swedish Mauser, which also uses a 6.5mm caliber bullet.

After Luke got it, he became very interested in it.

Almost all parts of the gun have been strengthened.

It also uses a 10-round magazine.

To match its high precision, Luke also installed a sight.

The Type 97 sniper rifle used by the Japanese army during World War II was a modified Type 38 rifle.

Its standard scope is not on the same central axis as the barrel and gun body, but on the side.

Mainly because of the bolt handle and loading reasons, it is impossible to install a scope above the bolt.

But after Luke's modification, it looks like a modern sniper rifle.

There is no need to load bullets above the bolt, and the bolt handle is also bent downward.

So, Luke can safely install the scope above the bolt.

For this purpose, Luke equipped it with a 12-32x sniper scope.

Now it was being set up by Luke on the top of the hill above the camp.

The crowed distance to Laura is 1.8 km.

Then, amid Laura's exclamations, he shot and killed all the pursuers behind Angus.

Laura hurried to reunite with Angus.

But Laura couldn't climb up the tower where Angus was.

So Laura had to take a detour.

She had learned from Angus that the other crew members had been captured and imprisoned by those people.

Laura decided to meet up with Angus first to rescue the other crew members, and then rescue Samantha.

According to the route planned by the drone, Laura took the connected cable car from the tower on the other side to the tower where Angus was.

Just as Laura arrived at the platform next to the tower where Angus was, she saw several people holding Angus hostage and coming to the opposite side of Laura.

They demanded that Laura lay down her weapons and surrender.

Then Laura heard Luke's voice.

"Get Angus down."

Then Laura shouted to Angus:

"Angus, get down."

The old man fell to the ground very quickly.

Then Laura saw the person next to Angus being shot in the chest and falling to the ground.

The remaining people were shot and fell to the ground one after another before they could react.

The old man didn't have a communication headset, and when Laura came up to him, he thought it was Ross.

Laura couldn't explain much to him, but she told him that Luke and Elika came specifically to see her.

Next we have to go to the palace complex on the mountain to rescue people.

Angus escaped by sliding down the rope.

But the road behind requires climbing.

So Angus had to go and meet up with Ross.

Ross also came here, but there was a valley between him and Laura.

Laura gave Angus a pistol and two magazines.

Angus retrieved a Type 100 submachine gun, which was rarely equipped by the Japanese army during World War II, from the bodies of the locals.

This thing was developed based on the German MP18. Its range is 2000 meters. It is a submachine gun... It is truly a bizarre weapon in World War II.

Ross was in a dilapidated building on another hill, and it was unknown where he got a Type 97 sniper rifle from.

He can also support Laura here, but the mountain he is on does not lead to the palace.

As a last resort, he found an excellent position and prepared to provide remote support to Laura, but he could only support Laura to the outer wall of the palace.

His position in the palace is much lower, so his shooting range is limited.

But Luke is indeed at the top of the mountain and can support Laura to the entrance of the palace.

At this moment, an unexpected voice came from the communicator.

"This is rescue helicopter N888RC, we are from the Trinity research vessel. Is anyone here? Please reply. Repeat..."

"This is Captain of the Endurance, Kondra Ross. Can you hear me?"

However, there was no response from the pilot on the intercom, only the rustling sound of no signal.

Ross said to Laura in a slightly excited tone:

"Laura, the rescue helicopter is coming soon."

"That's…that's really good news, Ross."

"You contact them on the Discovery, and I'll go get Samantha and the others out."

"Uh... okay, but I have to support you to reach the palace first."

Laura was about to answer when Luke's voice came over the communicator.

"Don't be happy too soon. Have you forgotten the first rescue plane? The pilot is still lying there unconscious."

This brought back bad memories for both of them.

Luke continued:

"Rose, take the crew Laura just rescued and contact the plane. Be careful. I'll come to support Laura."

Ross couldn't help but ask Luke doubtfully:

"Are you sure you can do it? You are too far away from here..."

“Hehe, I don’t need to prove it to you, Laura knows it.”

Laura also said to Ross on the communicator:

"Luke just saved Angus. He shot very accurately..."

This time Ross was speechless and could only wait for Angus to join him before contacting the rescue helicopter.
