Chapter 774: We surrounded a Qin army

Compared with Qin Jun's gunpowder therapy, it was Qi Jun's sniper that caused Qin Jun's headache the most.

"The opponent's sharpshooter was too accurate. Many of our machine gunners were shot. Some were killed directly. We have to think of a way." A Qin Jun officer suggested to his officer.

"We can only keep shifting our positions. There is no good way for the time being." The officer's chief replied.

"But I don't want the term sharpshooter. They should be called snipers. They are not gods, and they can be killed by our machine gunners." The officer continued.

The term sniper comes from Shang Wen. Shangwen once proposed to establish a special sniper, because the Qin army also benefited from the sniper tactics in the battle against the Yueshi people, but this tactic has not been widely promoted.

The reason is that the opponents of the Qin army are all nomads in large-scale campaign wars, and they are very mobile. And the opponent is good at group charge. For such an enemy, sniper tactics are obviously inappropriate, and the role played is not very obvious.

One shot was killed, and the enemy rushed over in a group. And the two sides have not entered a stalemate of equality. Therefore, in Qin Jun's view, the effect of sniper is far inferior to that of a machine gun. The machine gun can shoot the entire enemy and can kill the enemy on a large scale. The sniper can only kill the enemy accurately, and can do nothing except these.

Therefore, based on his own experience, Qin Jun believes that the role of sniping is far less powerful than that of machine guns. Therefore, they underestimated the role of sniper. On the contrary, the Qi army started rear harassment tactics because the weapons were inferior to the Yan army at the beginning of the war. Later, after the Qi army introduced muskets on a large scale, especially after the double-shot entered a stalemate. The role of sniper began to rise rapidly. And became the standard tactics of the Qi army. Sniper tactics have been recognized by the Qi army.

For example, the Qi army has such special soldiers in the general army. They do not need to wear military uniforms. But there must be a good disguise. This is the first time the army has used sniper camouflage tactics in this period. They wear irregular linen caps. This kind of cap can play a good camouflage because the color of linen and the color of the earth coincide with each other. In addition to these, there are also different linen strips tied to their bodies. Finally, , Their backs will also be covered with a burlap bag. In this way, they are lying in the ground two hundred steps away, and it is difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye. If there are haystacks, the probability of discovery will be greatly reduced.

In addition to camouflage, Qi Jun’s snipers used carefully selected rifles. Qi Jun imported a batch of rear-pull rotary rifles without magazines from arms dealers in other countries, because this rifle used The bullet is a smokeless gunpowder bullet, and its range is much higher than the valve rifle, especially the Wenyang rifle. The Wenyang rifle uses a ghost ring to aim and shoot, which can achieve rapid shooting within a certain distance. Therefore, Qi Jun snipers like this rifle very much.

However, the sniper rifle used by the Qi army is not a professional sniper rifle, and their rifle is not specially developed for sniper tactics. On the contrary, their rifle is an ordinary infantry rifle previously equipped by the Qin army. There is no special lengthening barrel, and no other measures are used to stabilize the rifle. The most important thing is that the rifle is not equipped with an optical sight. On the contrary, Qi Jun snipers like to aim naked with the naked eye. Because they can see more situations. Someone in Qi Jun once used a single-tube telescope to mount a rifle, but the problem is that after using the telescope, the field of view will become narrow, so you don’t know what is happening around you. The worst thing is that the lens of the telescope is exposed to light. The position of the sniper. Therefore, Qi Jun snipers did not approve of the installation of telescopes, and they believed that the installation of telescopes would cause huge interference to them. Therefore, they did not use a scope. On the contrary, they liked the shooting feeling without an optical scope because they could shoot quickly.

This is also a result of the fact that many Qin Army machine gunners were shot, but few were directly killed. Qi Jun snipers often use their sense and experience to shoot. After firing a bullet, they will leave quickly to avoid retaliation from the Qin Army's machine gun. At the same time, they can also exit the bullet shell and re-install a new bullet to design.

The Qin Army had to passively be beaten because it did not promote sniper tactics. This is also a helpless move by Qin Jun. Qin Jun's current thinking is still the kind of play that emphasizes group firepower suppression. The Qin Jun is very lacking in technical application skills, especially in tactical applications.

On the contrary, because there was no heavy firepower to suppress, Qi Jun and Zhao Jun made bold innovations and attempts in this regard. It has to be said that this is also a kind of fairness.

In this way, the Qi Jun sniper fired a shot. The Qin Jun machine gunner immediately returned the color of the machine gun in his hand. Frantically retaliated against the suspicious target, then another Qi army sniper fired a shot to attract firepower, and the Qin army machine gunner fired at the other target. In this way, the frontline temporarily staged a game of cat and mouse.

And behind this game. The soldiers of the Qi army were desperately digging their trenches, and then approached each other little by little. Qin Jun could only report the situation and ask for support. The only thing Qin Jun can get in touch with is the tower. Their contact will also be cut off from the outside world because the Qi army expands the defensive encirclement.

Just when the two sides entered a stalemate. Only then did the Qi Jun's front-line seniors know what happened. Qi Jun’s communication situation is not like Qin Jun’s contact via telephone and telegram. On the contrary, Qi Jun’s communication situation still stays in the Warring States Period. They need to send special communication personnel to exchange messages and commands.

"What? More than a thousand people on our left wing surrounded an airport of the Qin Army?" The news that Tian Heng got was still the situation half a month ago, but now the situation has changed.

In fact, Qi Jun’s communications personnel have worked very hard. But the very bad road conditions in Yan State, coupled with the interference of rain and snow. As a result, it took the communication personnel half a month to find the Qi army front-line base camp.

"I'll take a look at the letter." Tian Heng took the battle report to check the situation.

"Huh." Tian Heng couldn't believe it. They were able to run into the Qin army on their left wing, and it was very likely that they would have exchanged fire.

"This is the news half a month ago." Tian Heng looked at the date and said.

"For half a month, a lot of things have happened. But we don't know anything." Tian Heng felt very nervous in his heart. The appearance of Qin Jun means that it is very likely that Qin Jun has been involved in the battle of Yan Kingdom. Tian Heng is weighing the interests of both parties.

But one thing he didn't understand was why Qin Jun suddenly appeared there. Moreover, the timing of Qin Jun's appearance was a bit too early. Because in his opinion, Qin is the country that is the best at timing. They will never intervene in wars at the beginning. This is very detrimental to Qin, because if they intervene in wars prematurely, they are very likely to take themselves too. Drag into the quagmire of war. Once dragged to death, it is very likely to cause a great loss in national power, and then affect the diplomatic situation of the entire country.

According to Tian Heng's most likely hypothesis, Zhao Jun is likely to appear first. Tian Heng already has a preliminary idea to deal with Zhao Jun, that is, to win over Zhao State and solve Zhao State through diplomatic channels. Although part of the profit is lost, it will not cause much harm. Qin Jun suddenly appeared now. Such a situation is still very unclear.

Tian Heng thought about it, but still couldn't figure out why this happened.

The generals on the side watched the young civil official turn around. They don't know what to do.

"En." Tian Heng couldn't figure it out, so he decided to look for information value in the letter.

"Qin Jun Airport." Tian Heng said after seeing these words.

"Is there a brigade at Qin Jun Airport?" Tian Heng asked suddenly.

"Well, this is not much. It looks like three to four hundred people." The signal soldier replied.

"That's right." Tian Heng finally figured out.

"The Qin Army did not intervene on a large scale. Moreover, the appearance of the Qin Army was an accident." Tian Heng said confidently.

"Qin Guo currently has no plans to intervene. However, this is also an opportunity." Tian Heng thought for a while and said. Then he waved his hand to let the communicator exit.

"Lord, Qin Jun appears?" a family general stepped forward and asked.

"Don't worry about the Qin army, this Qin army is just an accident, but this Qin army ran into it. Then you have to use it." Tian Heng said.

"Do you know why Qin Jun only uses planes in the sky on the front lines of Yan State." Tian Heng also learned from the newspaper. That is Qin's plane.

The generals shook their heads and said they didn't know.

"Qin is not only fierce, he also has the same cunning. They want to make a profit, and now they have not got the most profit, so they only send aircraft to fight, and they are not willing to use ground forces to fight. The army moved forward quickly and accidentally ran into this unit. In other words, this was purely an accident. Now. We must make good use of this accident. Give Qin a good blow." Tian Heng said with a smile.

"Lord, please make it clear." A householder asked.

"If we encircle and eat this Qin army, what do you think Qin Guo do?" Tian Heng asked.

"Qin Jun will participate in this way, wouldn't it be a great disadvantage to us," the generals replied.

"No, Qin Jun will not come in at once. On the contrary, they will hesitate. Moreover, their attitude is very difficult to determine." Tian Heng said.
