Chapter 3120 We Are Accurate Shooters
The leader's offensive was so fast that the Japanese army, who expected the infantry to hold out for a while after this series of fierce attacks, soon found in despair that it was impossible to do so.
The 25mm machine gun barrage that came at them was like a hot wind, whizzing back and forth on the faces of the Japanese army.
The accuracy was indeed not very good, and countless bullets flew over the top of the Japanese army's forehead and passed by them, but the quantitative change was still enough to produce a qualitative change.
As long as one bullet hit, the fate of the Japanese infantry was nothing but being beaten into pieces of flesh and blood on the spot.
This kind of comrade-in-arms exploded instantly beside him like a balloon filled with water, and all kinds of scarlet and white sticky things were splashed all over his body and face. The horror was something that the Japanese army could not escape or ignore no matter what.
The comrades-in-arms who were close to him were like this, and his ears were filled with dense barrages of howling.
It is true that the Japanese army can fight to the death. After all, the Second Division is well-known as the top elite of the Japanese army.
However, this does not prevent the barrage from suppressing the Japanese army, which is shaking and panicking, from having an unavoidable physical impact.
Although they did not say it, in actual action, the combat efficiency of the 92-type heavy machine gun ammunition operator, who could not even put the bullet plate into the feed port because of the shaking hands, was still sharply reduced.
It was under such circumstances that a more terrifying scene came. The Russians who came out of the infantry fighting vehicles had raised their bayonets and came to kill.
U-Ra-
The thunderous shouts of the Red Army soldiers rang out on the battlefield where the sound of guns and cannons shook the sky. For a time, the Japanese army was filled with the momentum of one after another and resounded in their ears and hearts.
"Baga! The Russian infantry is charging! Warriors of the empire, put on your bayonets! Tsu-ge--"
Swoosh--
Crack--
Before the Japanese squad leader, waving his command knife, could finish his words, a 62mm full-power rifle bullet came from nowhere and blew his entire crown off his head, and the shit-yellow military cap fell to the ground with flesh and bone debris.
This was certainly not a stray bullet that hit by chance, but a fatal bullet that was specifically aimed at the Japanese officer holding the command knife and with a strong appearance recognition feature.
As the battle with the Japanese army continued to deepen, the leading army, which was constantly learning, evolving, and changing, also made targeted adjustments to the specific characteristics and known weaknesses of the newly emerging enemies.
In the grassroots combat units, the most representative change is the strengthening of the squad precision shooter.
The original infantry squad of the leader army was like this, except for an RPD squad machine gun and two SVT-40 semi-automatic rifles, which were responsible for providing long-range and medium-range firepower.
The remaining combatants were all equipped with AK-44 automatic rifles to ensure the overwhelming assault firepower after the entire squad was sent into the last 200 meters in front of the enemy by the infantry fighting vehicle.
After discovering that the core of the Japanese infantry combat mode was not the machine gun, compared to the machine gun, the officer holding the command knife and the appearance characteristics were too obvious to be the core pillar.
Malashenko simply listened to and adopted the feedback and suggestions of the grassroots combat units, and directly popularized the detachable 3x PU optical sight to every squad.
For Malashenko, who can basically get whatever he wants, tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are openly supplied, and he enjoys absolute priority in equipment and supply rights, things like gun accessories are just a matter of words.
The Red Army after the Great Patriotic War had sufficient military supplies and dispatching capabilities, and could quickly meet the needs reported by Malashenko in a very short time.
Therefore, in just two days, the infantry squads of the leader army quickly popularized the 3x PU optical sight to almost every SVT-40 semi-automatic rifle.
The purpose of large-scale deployment of this thing is not to turn every semi-automatic rifle shooter into a sniper, but to maximize their ability to accurately shoot at medium-range targets.
Simply put, the two semi-automatic rifle shooters in each infantry squad of the leader army were the two with the best marksmanship and the most proficient shooting skills in the entire squad.
Now there is a simple and easy-to-use 3x fixed magnification PU sight, and there is no need to go through any complicated courses such as sniper training. You just need to use this fixed 3x scope that does not require adjustment to see farther and shoot more accurately.
Even if you think this thing is not easy to use and you can't shoot accurately when using it, you can dismantle it and discard it.
The superior only provides you with the equipment guarantee basis. The final decision to use it or not lies with the individual, and it depends on every grassroots fighter who uses a semi-automatic rifle.
Malashenko has always respected and been willing to accept feedback and suggestions from the grassroots, and this time is no exception.
Nearly half of these veteran shooters have fought at least the second half of the Great Patriotic War, and most of them have participated in the Battle of Berlin.
They are not averse to the newly acquired 3x fixed-magnification PU scope. After a little familiarity and test shooting at different distances, they quickly mastered the tricks and the trajectory under the scope mode, and then immediately plunged into actual combat to be tested.
The final result is that the Japanese army encountered a new nightmare on the battlefield.
Those Japanese officers who were holding command knives and yelling, and who were just about to carve "Fire at me" on their foreheads, have now become the priority hunting targets of the two precision shooters in each class because of their overly conspicuous appearance recognition features.
Its priority on the prey list is even higher than that of the grenade launcher and machine gunner, who are also threatening. The reason is very simple.
Because the leader army found a problem in the battle. Once the Japanese infantry squads, detachments, and squads lost their direct officers in the battle, their combat level would collapse immediately under the unfavorable situation on the battlefield.
Those Japanese soldiers who were already suppressed could not even coordinate their actions after losing their command. They could not take care of the front, back, left, and right sides, and almost completely lost their organizational ability. In most cases, they would be quickly annihilated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Japanese army, which treated its soldiers as pigs, was like this. It was okay to fight a favorable battle, but once the officers were killed in an unfavorable battle, their combat effectiveness would collapse immediately.
A similar situation also occurred in the Pacific battlefield. After the Japanese soldiers were sent away by the US military, they became rations and were fed to the US machine guns in most cases.
The only difference is that the leader army's methods are more ruthless and more targeted. The killing efficiency of two precision shooters in each squad is much higher than that of the US military's special sniper roll call.
The precision shooters who are frontline combatants can also work together with the squad. As part of the squad, they strengthen the overall combat power of the entire infantry squad, killing two birds with one stone.
Unlike snipers, they are not independent of the infantry squad, which leads to the inability to keep up with the current offensive rhythm of the leader army. After all, it is impossible to provide snipers with a special car to pick them up and go in and out of the battlefield.
So now, on this hot and surging battlefield.
There are far more Japanese commanders who were called out by precision shooters before they had time to yell with their command knives in hand.
