War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 254 Another Extended Vacation

In the time studio with the shutter door locked, Wei Ran looked at the huge magazine in his hand and the deadly bullets in the magazine, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart.

Last time in Lower Petyaskh, when he used this anti-tank gun to kill the little devil smuggler, although each shot basically succeeded in achieving the expected killing effect, the distribution of those bullets was not at all regular. Word.At that time, it was still a distance of three 400 meters, and a slight deviation was still within the acceptable range.

But if the time is pushed back, when the gun was tested in the coniferous forest near the abandoned military base, this amazingly powerful anti-tank weapon was equipped with a high-power optical sight originally used for air defense.But at that time, the reason why it was able to hit the target repeatedly was almost entirely due to the huge killing range of the ammunition itself, and the gun carriage that could provide a stable shooting platform to make up for the lack of long-range accuracy.

For this matter, he once asked Karp from Hongqi Forest Farm and Jima, who had rich hunting experience, about long-range shooting accuracy in a joking or chatting manner.

According to the two of them, the impact of the firearm itself on the accuracy is only the most common part. What really affects the shooting accuracy is mainly the scope and the ammunition used.

To put it simply, the ten rounds of ammunition fired by the same gun, the subtle difference in the amount of propellant loaded, and the center of gravity of each bullet's bullet during manufacture will affect the offset of the bullet after it is fired. .

This is also one of the main reasons why the bullets deviate from the aiming point irregularly, excluding factors such as the shooter's technology, the manufacturing accuracy of the firearm itself, and the scope.

Even according to the words from the drunk quarter horse, the reason why no one put a scope on the anti-tank gun of World War II as an anti-material weapon.In addition to being too heavy to carry, another reason is that the effective combat distance of anti-tank guns during World War II was only a few hundred meters.

Correspondingly, when it is only necessary to ensure sufficient accuracy within the distances of these two 300 meters and the great three 400 meters, there is no need to be too precise in the manufacture of bullets, because they are not used at all.

So even during World War II, no two poles would choose to fire at tanks with anti-tank guns one kilometer away.Because even if it hits, it won't be able to pierce the tank's armor at all. Instead, it is likely to be greeted by a blast from the tank.

For Wei Ran, he had high hopes for this amazingly powerful anti-tank gun, especially after all traces of manufacturing information were erased by the metal book, it and the optical sight obtained from Alexander There is no need to worry about the high probability of deficiencies in the manufacturing process itself.

After all, even the three broken oil barrels in the metal book have been upgraded and improved. With its piss, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to this anti-tank gun.

That being the case, it is necessary to prepare a batch of ammunition that will not affect the shooting accuracy.These ammunition may not be able to be brought back to World War II at all, but it is hard to guarantee whether that bastard Culp will slap his head again and arrange a practical mission that requires killing people.

At that time, instead of taking the risk of being discovered to get close to the target person, it is undoubtedly the safest choice to slap the opponent's face with a 20mm caliber iron bump from a long distance.

If you think about it, you know that with the power of bullets of this caliber, as long as they are hit, the only difference is whether they are dead enough or not. This is much easier than poisoning and assassinating at close range.

"It seems that after finishing working on the oil barrels, it's time to visit Finland as soon as possible."

Wei Ran made a decision while loading the magazine on the anti-tank gun. With the participation of Mr. Alexander in the Finnish movie, it is certain that various weapons and equipment will not be different from the original history.

That being the case, there is a high probability that the same Solothurn anti-tank gun will be used in that movie.At that time, as long as you think of a way, maybe you can take this opportunity to get a batch of high-precision ammunition whose history cannot be found for backup.

However, it is already June 12th, and I will return to Hongqi Forest Farm for classes in three days, so these things can only be arranged until the next holiday.Of course, the premise of all this is that teachers Karp and Dalia, who are on a business trip for half a month, can come back in time.

Putting away the anti-tank gun on the long table, Wei Ran took out his mobile phone after thinking for a while, and called the Frenchman Herbert who brought the oil barrels over.

"Mr. Victor, is there any progress in the investigation?" As soon as the call was connected, Herbert on the other end couldn't wait to ask.

"The code word on the oil barrel has been translated"

Wei Ran said bluntly, the other party had already sent the oil barrel over for a week, and Ji Ma was still in a hurry to spend money, so naturally it would be better to solve it as soon as possible, anyway, he had already thought of an excuse before.

"Are you in the studio?" Herbert asked impatiently, "I'll be there right away."

"Remember to bring another 10 euros," Wei Ran reminded bluntly.

"Of course, then, Mr. Victor, we'll see you later."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Ran called Jima again. As soon as the call was connected, he asked directly, "Jima, how are you doing? What role did you get?"

"Flory, the ambulance driver Flory!" Jima said beamingly, "I took the role of Ralph and played a soldier named Flory."

Hearing this, Wei Ran immediately thought of the young German soldier who had the best relationship with the poisonous Karl in that hunter's hut.But if Jima was playing Flory, who was Ralph playing?

Before this question could be asked, Jima took the initiative to say, "Ralph plays a wounded man named Yannick, and this role has been added a lot of roles. Now Ralph is familiar with those changed characters every day in his dreams. lines."

"It seems that you had a great time over there," Wei Ran said with a smile.

"Of course!"

Jima said proudly, "And the actor of Carl and I is Andy's son. The high school student named Tello has become very good friends. He even took me to their high school classmate's reunion yesterday, and we met Lots of beautiful high school girls."

"Take care of your uncontrolled lower body." Wei Ran reminded helplessly, "If you really become popular with this movie, these will be scandals."

"Stop talking about this, why are you more nagging than my mother?" Jima changed the subject in a nonsensical manner, "What's the matter with calling me?"

Speaking of business, Wei Ran stopped worrying about the other party, "I have a deposit of 10 euros in my account right away. If you need the money urgently, you can come and get it. If there is no accident, it will be cash."

"Your studio is really making money." Jima muttered enviously, and then said, "I'll let Alili find you, just give him the money."

"Then you'd better tell him to hurry up. It's already the 12th today, and we'll be back to Hongqi Forest Farm for class in three days."

"Back to the forest farm?"

Jima categorically denied, "No, no, no, our vacation has been postponed for half a month. We will not go back to class until July 7st. Well, it is possible to go back to class. Mr. Karp and Mr. Daria haven't come back yet."

"It will be postponed for half a month?" Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, "Why didn't I know about this?"

"Principal Nicholas called me this morning." Jima explained without psychological pressure, "He asked me to inform you, but I forgot."

"Ask you to notify me? His home is less than 200 meters away from my studio, why did you ask me to notify me?"

Wei Ran became more and more strange. Except for rest days, Mr. Nicholas basically went to the travel agency next door to grab a meal at noon every day, and there was no need to go around to let Jima inform him.

"It must be that your phone is disconnected again, or Principal Nicholas thinks that your phone cannot be connected." Jima said naturally, "It is not an exaggeration at all. Your phone is more difficult to get through than Mr. Mayor's phone."

Subconsciously looking at the still locked shutter door, Wei Ran reluctantly admitted that what Jima said was indeed true.If nothing else happened, Nicholas should have seen that the door of the studio was not open, and thought he had already gone out.

In view of the fact that I was drunk in Chita last time, and that the clients of the studio couldn't contact me countless times before, the old man must have directly handed over the notification work to the unreliable Ji Ma.This is also thanks to the fact that I took the initiative to call him, otherwise when I arrived at the Hongqi Forest Farm, I would have made a trip for nothing.

"Victor, you are already a rich man who can take out two 10 euros casually, can't you spend a small amount of money to buy a satellite phone like me?" Jima joked with a hippie smile, "That way even if you're hiding in the basement of the Kremlin, you won't miss the call."

"I'll get some satellite phone when I can go to the basement of the Kremlin." Wei Ran was too lazy to talk nonsense with Jima, "Remember to ask Alili to come over as soon as possible, since the class is postponed, I may have to go out for a trip .”

Without waiting for Ji Ma to talk nonsense, Wei Ran decisively hung up the phone.At the same time, he secretly wondered what Karp and Teacher Daria were up to.

Before he could figure it out, Herbert called again, and at the same time, the sound of an engine sounded outside the shutter door.

Wei Ran didn't answer the phone at all, and opened the shutter door, just in time to see Herbert getting off a taxi with a briefcase in one hand and a mobile phone in the other.

Seeing Wei Ran, Herbert immediately put away the phone, and asked as he walked into the studio, "Cracked it so quickly?"

"Of course, it's not difficult."

Wei Ran beckoned Herbert to sit down at the long table, then placed the oil barrel between the two of them, and finally pushed a piece of paper with the content he translated from the codebook to the other party.

Picking up the half-folded A4 paper, Herbert frowned after taking a quick look at the content on it, "That's all? How do you prove that these few words are worth 20 euros?"

"First of all, whether this sentence is worth 20 euros is your business."

Wei Ran tapped the oil barrel between the two of them lightly with his fingernails, "How can I translate the secret language above into what you just saw? This process is where the value of the 20 euros lies."
