Chapter 72: Welcome to the Mannerheim Line (14) (1/2)
Nothing for a night.
At noon the next day, Simon found the trail left by the Soviets on the snow. It looks like it should have passed here a day ago. The number is estimated to be between one hundred and two hundred, and there are ruts on the carriage in the snow. India, which means that the other party is likely to be equipped with heavy machine guns.
The two men chased on the skis for an afternoon, and finally approached the target before sunset.
This Soviet army traveled very slowly. It was difficult for both humans and horses to walk on half a meter of snow. Sometimes, soldiers pushed horse-drawn carriages. The bad weather and the news of casualties on the front line made the soldiers Their morale became very low. At this time, the original 16-day combat period had already been exceeded. If Zhang Heng remembers it correctly, many troops in the Soviet Union have been eliminated by the guerrilla formation. However, the results they have achieved are Very few.
Now every troop sent to the front line is worried, the morale of transnational warfare is usually lower than the side of the local warfare. Although the Soviet Union also carried out a certain amount of public opinion mobilization before the war, the effect can only be considered to be unsatisfactory, especially just recently Excessive cleansing, experienced middle and senior officers in the Soviet army were either executed or exiled to Siberia to accompany the polar bear.
Many of the young military officers who are being promoted quickly have just graduated from the military academy. They are impeccable in terms of loyalty, but only know that the military order is executed rigidly, and there is no problem in running the battle, but once they encounter such a difficult situation Nor would he appease the soldiers.
Simmon glanced and handed the telescope to Zhang Heng.
The unit behind the lens is a typical Soviet infantry company. The number of combatants is about 150, including three infantry platoons and one machine gun platoon. It is equipped with twelve light machine guns, two heavy machine guns, and some look like shapes. A shovel-like projectile, of course, more soldiers are still equipped with M1891 Mossinagan, because the stable performance has always been the main weapon of the Soviet Union.
In terms of firepower, this unit is quite strong, especially the two Mark Qin heavy machine guns on the carriage. The theoretical rate of fire can reach 600 rounds per minute, and even the aircraft in the sky can be hit.
Because he was worried that the reflection of the lens would expose the positions of the two, Zhang Heng didn't dare to look at it, and planned to step back and wait until it was dark. As a result, Simon had already begun to gather the snow on the ground in front of him, and the girl made a gesture to him, which meant that he stepped back.
Zhang Heng had trained with Simon for a week before. He thought he knew enough about the latter's marksmanship, but when he guessed the girl's intentions, he could not help taking a sigh of relief even with his usual calmness.
The distance between the group of Soviet troops and them visually has exceeded 700 meters. What is this concept? Using machine sighting, after 300 meters, the sight is larger than the target itself.
And ordinary people's vision recognition range is 500 meters, 700 meters-this has completely broken the common sense, in this case Zhang Heng does not know what else a sniper can do to shoot.
However, the first criterion on the battlefield is to trust his companions. Although Zhang Hengwen said that he was stunned, he nodded and took the two of the skis and backpack quietly back out. He just heard the gunshots shortly after lying down, and then far away. There was a riot in the Soviet army. Zhang Heng could not see the specific situation there, but he could roughly guess the reaction of the Soviet soldiers.
They should lie down for the first time, and then search for the sniper's place while they hit back blindly, but unfortunately even if they want to break their heads, no one can guess that the bullet was shot more than 700 meters away.
