Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 810 Gun God (1)
Killing 32 enemies in 214 days, the sniper who created such a record, even if he is not a genius, must be well-trained and experienced.Who would have thought that just 3 months before creating this record, Lu Changqing missed the target with a shot, and it was 3 times in a row.

At that time, Lu Changqing's troops were ordered to open up the European battlefield.At first, even many veterans did not know the specific destination.With the order of the military, the whole army will immediately move out.Before setting off, the soldiers had to remove all the things with the Chinese army logo on their bodies. Starting from Central Asia all the way north, the stuffy car was getting colder and colder. Lu Changqing was only 20 years old at the time, and he had only been in the army for one year. A new recruit.At that time, many recruits were in tears.They are not afraid of war, but are saying goodbye to their motherland.

Entering the territory of the Czech Republic, the 24th Army finally arrived at a strategic location in Austria to garrison in mid-September.In a small village here, Lu Changqing's 9rd Battalion and 72th Company of the 214th Regiment of the 3nd Division conducted their first military training after entering the DPRK. The content was shooting targets.

Lu Changqing shouldn't be afraid of shooting a gun. He has received nearly two months of special sniper training after joining the army, and his skills should be above everyone else.But after he came to Europe, he was on the road every day, and he became a correspondent of the company headquarters. How could he have time to think about the new gun on his back?
"Lv Changqing." The company commander called his name.Three bullets, three chances.The results of the shooting came out quickly, and the three bare zero rings, in the words of the company commander, ate three big sesame cakes.As a punishment, Lu Changqing had to cook for him.Is there something wrong with the gun?The ordnance officer replied clearly: "This is the Huaxia 95 installed by the Empire. It was used during World War I. It has been tested in countless wars and is no problem."

After that, Lu Changqing often sulked at this gun: I used to use German Mauser guns, and the three guns hit at least 20 rings. Why did I change the gun and it became zero rings?In his own words, "I haven't fully understood this gun yet." The shooter regards the gun as a friend, and only after understanding his temper can he do whatever he wants, but the gun in front of him looks like a stranger.

From then on, the soldiers in the same class discovered that after returning to the team, Lu Changqing seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, and was always "in a daze" with a gun in his hand for an hour at one end.In fact, this is "sharpening the gun in front of the battle". For the past few days, Lu Changqing has regarded various objects of different distances and distances as targets, but there is no bullet in the barrel of the gun, and he just keeps firing.The Huaxia 95 has a short chamber and a strong recoil. Even if there is a hair-like deviation when the bullet is ejected from the chamber, it will have to be one meter away from a target 200 meters away.The moment the trigger is pulled, the arms and body remain motionless. This is the first priority of Lu Changqing's hard training.

How to stay still?Lu Changqing asked himself to keep thinking about the target after firing, and to see clearly how the crosshair jumped off the target and stabilized.At that moment, he wouldn't even let go and put the trigger back, it was as if he was frozen.In order to enhance his arm strength, he also made two sandbags. He said they were sandbags, but they were actually torn into two pieces from a broken bed sheet and filled with sand.At the end of the training, he was still able to pull the trigger exactly when he carried more than ten kilograms of sandbags on his arms.

At night, the faint oil lamp in the tunnel became a good helper for him to practice aiming.This goal is more difficult to grasp than the trees and rocks in the daytime. The head of the lamp fluctuates from big to small, high and low. Lu Changqing just stared at the light in a daze, practicing a pair of sharp eyes.

With the intensification of the war situation, according to the requirements of the headquarters, each army in Europe must form a sniper squad or a sniper team. Class 9 is an intensive class with 17 people, and the task is to stick to position No. 7.At that time, the shooting group of Class 9 was just short of one.The squad leader has long taken a fancy to Lu Changqing, who has been training hard day and night, but when he reported it, when the company commander thought of the "three pancakes", he couldn't be relieved. He went to the battlefield in person and pointed out three targets for Lu Changqing. They all hit.The company commander patted Lu Changqing on the shoulder without saying a word, and Lu Changqing has since joined the sniper team.

Most of the recruits who have just entered the shooting team have only shot dead targets, and some have never even heard of the words "sniper" and "cold gun".At that time, there was no professional sniper training, and the squad leader directly took the recruits to the forward position, and instructed them on how to measure the distance, how to set the scale, how to calculate the advance, and then pointed to a target and said "you practice"

Only then did the recruits know that binoculars cannot be used for ranging, otherwise it is easy to be seen by the enemy.The squad leader stretched out his thumb, connected the line of sight of the right eye, the thumb and the target, then opened the left eye and closed the right eye.Observing from different angles of the left eye and the right eye, there will be a lateral error between the thumb and the target. According to the size of this error, the distance of the target can be estimated to determine the shooting scale.This is the visual distance method used by artillery when they lack the necessary equipment, but it comes in handy in sniping.Every shot of a sniper may target the target, incurring the enemy's firepower counterattack. If you want to save yourself in the sniper, tactics are more important than technology.Sniping is by no means the reckless behavior of a single soldier.Generally speaking, sniper battles are carried out in groups and cooperate with each other.The team secretly entered the position before dawn, looked for opportunities to fight during the day, and retreated after dark.After the target is found, the observer sends a signal, and the shooter fires according to the direction. After the shooting, regardless of whether the target is dead or alive, the target is transferred immediately, and the result of the battle is finalized by the observer.

In order to improve shooting accuracy and reaction speed, the sniper team also numbered the enemy positions in blocks and measured the distance one by one.Once the target appears, the observer only needs to call out the area number where the target is located, and the shooter can act quickly.

After hard exploration and training, it was finally time for Lu Changqing to show off his might. Position 7 hangs alone on the east side of the main position. Shooting platforms No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 are bright spots and are located on the surface positions. No. 5 is a dark spot, located in the tunnel.The observation post was set up in a tunnel above position No. 7, which was connected to the trenches outside. Wood was placed on the trenches, covered with soil, and an observation hole was opened to the enemy.

On the 18th day after entering the Austrian forward position, Lu Changqing lay down on the shooting platform for the first time. "Bang bang" when the sky was bright, two enemies drilled out of a bunker on the unnamed highland in the south, and Lu Changqing opened fire immediately without waiting for the observer to issue an order.The more anxious he was, the less he could hit. The first time he hit a live target, he even forgot the amount of advance.

"Boom" the enemy's return fire has already exploded around him, but he still shoots desperately.A random shot, wasting 22 bullets, which is the same as "eating three biscuits", which makes him uncomfortable.

But on the second day, Lu Changqing finally "opened", but he couldn't be happier.There were three enemies alone. He aimed at the first enemy and shot it with a slap. Strangely, it was the second enemy who fell down.Don't look at the shot, but he always wondered: "I obviously aimed at the first one, how could I hit the second one?" The mountainous terrain of the Austrian battlefield made the estimation of the lead time extremely complicated.The sniper must consider the slope of the mountain, the height of the opponent, and the direction and speed of the target's movement to determine the aiming point.All of these must go through many times of running-in training in order to achieve the unity of the gunman and the perfect accuracy.Lu Changqing can be said to be a natural sniper. In less than two weeks, he quickly adapted to his role.

In the mission on the third day, Lu Changqing fired 9 times and killed 7 enemy soldiers, surpassing all old snipers.By the end of this month, his deeds of killing 22 enemies with 247 bullets in 71 days have been widely circulated through the 24th Army's "Fire Wire".

"Is he from hunting?"

"What kind of gun did he use?" After reading the report, the commander-in-chief became suspicious.He took out a pair of leather boots from under the bed and said to the combat staff: "Take it on, go to the Eighth Company to see that Lu Changqing, and watch him destroy three enemies in a row. If it is real, give it to him. If it is fake ,Take back."

"I'm here to learn." The combat staff took leather boots and female photographer Huang Qiuyan to the forward position, but did not mention the commander's leather boots.In the snow, the cold air hit people, Huang Qiuyan kept rubbing her hands, picked up the camera and quickly took a picture, just lowered her head, she heard a gunshot, and an enemy fell down.

Immediately afterwards, one of the enemy's sentries was hit by Lu Changqing, and then the enemy's snipers also opened fire.Huang Qiuyan didn't dare to look up, afraid of the target, and also worried about Lu Changqing's safety. Just as she was thinking, a gunshot sounded in the distance. It turned out that Lu Changqing had already moved to another sniper position and eliminated the third enemy.

Before the combat staff left the 8th company, a boot ceremony was held.The soldiers sat in the tunnel, listening to him explain the origin of the leather boots, and then hung it around Lu Changqing's neck.Lu Changqing was blushing, and everyone present noticed that he was still wearing "old cotton shoes" made of military blankets

In order to continue his "advanced studies", the company commander sent Lu Changqing to the shooting training class run by the regiment.In the training class where 28 masters gather, there are still many unwritten combat experiences: if the enemy is taking a bath, take off a pair of trouser legs and fight again; When a person just got up and played continuously, they were destined to be the nightmare of the German police anyway.

Two weeks later, Lv Changqing returned to the front line and was assigned to the front line outside the establishment, but still returned to the No. 7 position.In the snow, they waited, but the chances of the target appearing became smaller and smaller.The silence on the battlefield is unbearable, but the danger is quietly approaching.In order to deal with the snipers, the other side transferred a large number of artillery observers to the front line, but we didn't know it yet.At dusk, the squad leader started to light a fire to cook, and a wisp of cooking smoke slowly floated up from the trench, and at the same time provided a target for the Japanese artillery.

"Boom" twice, the squad leader was blown into dust by shells.The enemy's artillery fire coverage is extremely accurate. There must be artillery observers who are accurately reporting the target's position and directing the artillery to attack.Reminiscent of the newly added bunker on the opposite side, Lu Changqing realized that he had to get rid of these threats as soon as possible.After observing for a whole day, Lu Changqing boarded the No. 1 sniper platform at dawn the next day. The location of No. 1 sniper platform is a huge bluestone, and a gun is placed on each side of the bluestone, so that the same position can be shot from different angles, and the big bluestone can be used as a cover.
