Chapter 67 Section 3

Han Guang was wearing the F2 jungle camouflage uniform of the French army, and was fiddling with the American-made M24 sniper rifle in his hand.This is the standard equipment of the U.S. Navy and Army. It began to be installed in 1987. With the American soldiers going south and north, it also popularized the world's mercenary weapons market.The gun's predecessor was a 6-round heavy barrel single-shot rifle in various civilian Remington and M40 models. It was a sniper weapon system (SWS, Sniper's Weapon) redeveloped by the U.S. military after summarizing the experience and lessons of the Vietnam War. System).

In fact, the U.S. military is also a typical representative of the bear breaking the stick. They suffered enough losses from the volunteer snipers on the Korean battlefield, and they all left behind after the war.This is related to the situation during the Cold War at that time. The NATO group headed by the United States focused on strategic nuclear weapons, ignoring the individual tactical equipment and local battle tactics needed for local wars.As a result, the U.S. military suffered losses from the Vietnamese on the battlefield in Vietnam. The Vietnamese People's Army and the southern guerrillas used the SVD sniper rifle aided by the Soviet Union, while the U.S. military did not have a standard sniper rifle; the Vietnamese People's Army and the southern guerrillas used the AK47 submachine gun aided by the Soviet Union and the Chinese imitation 56 submachine gun, while the U.S. military is still using it A bulky M14 rifle.It is useless to have tanks and helicopters. The jungles of Vietnam still rely on soldiers to fight.Therefore, the U.S. military suffered a lot in the early days of the Vietnam War. It was not until the Vietnam War that M16 automatic rifles began to be equipped with troops. The development of sniper rifles has always lagged behind. For a long time, the native method of adding a scope to the M14 rifle was used to match the SVD sniper rifle. Combat, gave a new model M84 sniper rifle - the result can be imagined.It was not until the late Vietnam War that the M21 sniper rifle derived from the M84 was equipped with troops and became a common sniper rifle for the US Army and Navy.The gun barrel is slightly heavier than the M14 rifle barrel, uses special bullets, and has a magazine capacity of 20 rounds.Equipped with a bipod, the shooting stability is good.The trigger force is small and uniform, and 10 bullets can be hit in a circle with a diameter of 15cm at a distance of 300m.The target distance can be seen directly in the scope, and the aiming point can be adjusted by turning the adjuster.

But the Vietnam War was over very quickly. The Vietnam War was a watershed in the strategic and tactical research of the U.S. military, and it was also the end of the era of bears breaking sticks.A large number of young generals who participated in the Vietnam War became the leading force of the US military. They summed up their experience and lessons and began to regard local wars as the primary task of the US military.After the Vietnam War, the U.S. special forces began to gradually become an indispensable part of the U.S. military, and their role became more and more important. The M24 is the first specially developed sniper weapon system in the United States. This rifle gradually replaced all other sniper rifles and became the standard equipment of the sniper rifles of the US Navy and Army.The gun adopts a rotating rear-pull action, which has good locking reliability, and the gun body and the action are closely matched, so the accuracy is better.The receiver is cylindrical, combined with V-shaped grooves on the aluminum liner in the butt.The stock extends from one end of the stock to the other, providing just enough solid pivot points for the 3 sling ring mounts (2 on the front stock, 1 on the rear stock), magazine floor and trigger guard.The receiver and muzzle are equipped with bases for the installation of iron sights.The butt is made of Kevlar-graphite composite material, and the front stock is thick and beaver-tail-shaped.There is an adjustable bottom plate on the butt, and its telescoping range is 68.6mm.There is also a narrower small grip and a connection seat for installing a scope on the buttstock. The bottom plate of the 5-round magazine is hinged for quick reloading, and the release button is mounted on the front of the trigger guard.All metal parts are finished in black, non-reflective, to match the stock.The barrel is made of stainless steel, heavy duty, and can be rotated freely for positioning.

The M24 sniper rifle in Han Guang's hand is an improved model, sprayed with jungle camouflage.This improved M24 sniper rifle is equipped with a new flame arrester, muffler and dovetail slot for installing various sights. The attached sight is a super M3 10x telescopic sight. The rest of the accessories are on the ground beside him.The bullets used are 7.62mm special-purpose sniper rifle bullets, which have good stability and strong penetrating power. Han Guang sat on the ground, loaded the sniper rifle, and aimed at a target 25 meters away to zero it accurately. Cai Xiaochun held the school gun mirror: "Left to the left."

Han Guang put down the sniper rifle and started proofreading. Cai Xiaochun was wearing an Australian Dalmatians camouflage uniform, with an M4A1 carbine beside him.I don't know where the staff officer got the camouflage uniform. There are bullet holes and bloodstains on it, so it's obviously second-hand.Cai Xiaochun couldn't care less, it looked bigger on his body, so he tucked the top into his belt. This is the shooting range of the Yulin base. In the early hours of the morning, the special operations team checked the newly received foreign army guns here.For this operation, the Lei Brigade almost took out the inventory of the Spike Brigade.It is not easy to get these weapons, because Western countries have an arms embargo on our country, so some special channels are needed.The supporting ammunition is even more difficult to obtain. Fortunately, the North Industries Group has been engaged in arms foreign trade, and the Joint Command has also obtained NATO standard bullets and other supporting bullets specially for export through relevant channels.There is no need to change the auspicious suit of the sniper, because it was originally imported from foreign trade, and there is no problem of revealing the nationality.It’s just that these costumes and military boots really made the staff think hard, because combat is not a performance, and the imitations in military stores can’t be used at all, so he mobilized all his connections to collect original products, so many military friends in Hainan Island and Guangdong are sleeping In the midst of being called by the phone, I somehow made a small fortune and sold my second-hand military products, because the other party offered a high price that you would never refuse.

The commandos equipped in this way look all kinds of things.In Sun Shoujiang's words: "Is this the Eight-Power Allied Forces in the new era?" Sun Shoujiang was wearing the jungle camouflage uniform of the British army, and what he got was an SVD sniper rifle made in the former Soviet Union. He thought it was troublesome, so he simply used the ancestor of the 85 sniper rifle.So he was the first to proofread, fiddling with the Swiss P228 pistol in his hand.It is not the first time for them to use foreign firearms, so they are not unfamiliar.Cross-role training with foreign military firearms is done every month, so it really came in handy today.

Sun Shoujiang's pistol shot well, so the guns were all in the bull's-eye. Lin Rui wore the spotted jungle camouflage of the German army, and used a domestically produced 56-1 submachine gun, but it was equipped with tactical modification components, which looked more modern.The gun belt was also replaced with a three-point tactical gun belt originally produced by the Black Hawk. He pasted the two magazines with black tape and could be quickly replaced at any time.The pistol is an Israeli Desert Eagle that hangs from a quick holster on the leg.Obviously, he was showing the enemy a little bit of strength when he was preparing for close combat. Using this pistol, the opponent would either die or be disabled, and there would be no third result.

The rest of the team members are also dressed in various costumes and complicated weapons, and the marines who are in charge of security are dumbfounded.If they didn't know that they were special forces from the army, they would have thought they were on a Hollywood war set and were remaking "The Expendables of the Wild Goose". The significance of using these weapons and equipment is that without revealing one's true identity, even if the operation fails, it will not cause diplomatic disputes.Everyone knew it well and kept it vague, but these fighters had to rely entirely on their own bravery and wisdom to fight their way out.Although the Chinese naval fleet can reach the high seas, before the fleet arrives, they must rely on their own strength to first rescue the hostages and defend against danger.If you rely solely on the fleet, the hostages will undoubtedly die, and they will be discovered as soon as they approach.Moreover, it is hard to say whether there is any eyeliner near the base. Once the fleet is dispatched, it may endanger the safety of the hostages.

According to the joint command's action plan, the navy will launch an open sea counter-piracy and search and rescue exercise to deceive others.But special forces have to enter before, because the first priority is to ensure the safety of the hostages.Next, no matter whether the hostages are rescued or not, they must stick to it for ten hours.Ten hours later, the exercise fleet could arrive and deploy to control the entire sea area.Within ten hours, they had to rely entirely on themselves, and there were more than 200 pirates and eleven mercenaries on Crescent Island.There are only fifteen people in the special forces, such a disparity in comparison, no one mentions them sweating. …If the battle fails and the hostages are not rescued, the so-called maritime anti-piracy and search and rescue exercises are meaningless.

In other words... there are no reinforcements, and the rest are themselves. Whether they can survive or not depends entirely on themselves... But these special forces didn't seem to care, talking and laughing on the shooting range, checking the guns, and getting familiar with the weapons.It seems that what I want to participate in is not a miniature war with a huge difference, but a routine exercise.Most of them are cadres, only a few are veterans like Cai Xiaochun, and all of them are the best warriors in the Chinese Army. Cai Xiaochun took his M4A1 and shot at a row of targets 200 meters in front of him.When he changed the magazine, he asked Han Guang beside him, "Why didn't you write a suicide note?"

Han Guang was stunned for a moment, and leaned over the scope again: "I don't need a suicide note." Cai Xiaochun pulled the bolt of the gun: "Let's leave something behind, our mission is different this time." Han Guang pulled the trigger, and the steel target 800 meters away fell.He had already returned to zero, and he let out a long breath: "I don't know who to write to." Yes, who are you writing to? Cai Xiaochun pulled the trigger and fired again. He threw away the carbine that had run out of bullets, pulled out the GLOK17 pistol and fired again: "Write to the person you miss the most!" Han Guang blinked, the person he misses the most?To whom?
