After knowing that Chengde was guarded by Wang Hong and a regiment of soldiers, the Kwantung Army urgently dispatched the main force to travel overnight. As soon as they arrived in Chengde, they came up and bombarded them, and then started the attack, but found that Wang Hong's troops had withdrawn from Chengde.

Late at night, the Japanese army did not pursue it rashly, but sent a small group of troops that were taking to reconnaissance.

Unlike in the past, there is a newly established sniper team in this army, holding the new sniper rifle that has just been issued, and is about to use Wang Hong as the first order to open the door.

These snipers were eager to make contributions. Under the leadership of a second lieutenant, they followed the scout cavalry forward and followed Wang Hong and others' retreat, and chased them up quickly.

The Japanese sniper tactics were very rigid in World War II, but this was only compared to countries like Germany, Su, and Fen, which had famous snipers. Faced with most ordinary Chinese peasant soldiers who didn't even know what sniper rifles were, the Japanese snipers were almost invincible.

People from later generations, under the praise of a certain game, always felt that the 98k was the best among sniper rifles in World War II.

This is a big misunderstanding.

Sniper rifles are just a rifle, and the mainstream rifles at the same time can only be said to have their own strengths.

Compared with the 98k sniper rifle, there are at least two points that are worse than the 38th Type.

One is recoil. The recoil of the Type 38 sniper rifle is very small, which is very suitable for oriental people's physique.

Furthermore, the muzzle flame of the Type 38 sniper rifle is very small, and it is almost impossible to find the position of the shooter when sniping at night.

Of course, the disadvantages of the Three Eight Style are also very prominent.

The Japanese sniper lenses are very bad. When the 38th meter is within 00 meters, the ballistics are almost straight, but they are equipped with a sniper lens with a small multiplier (25 magnification) and cannot be adjusted on 00 meters. For excellent Japanese shooters, it is better to aim directly with their eyes. This has caused useless equipment that cannot be helpful to veterans and new recruits find it difficult to use.

The 98k is the one with the most ballistic changes among all kinds of sniper rifles, but when it is equipped with sniper lenses, the new recruits and veterans have greatly improved their accuracy.

In addition, on the Chinese battlefield, the 38th Stage also had the problem of one shot and two holes.

This really cannot be blamed on the Japanese. The same bullet did not have this problem when fighting with the Russians in the early days. There was no problem when fighting the Americans in the Pacific.

Later experiments found that due to the characteristics of the warheads of the Type 38 bullets put into China's war zone, when fighting at close range, as long as the thickness of the front chest and back is less than 20 cm, two holes will appear between the muscles and internal organs.

This phenomenon has a lot to do with the melee tactics such as Chinese soldiers being thin, crowded, poorly equipped, few bullets, and only using guerrilla, burial attacks, and charge with three guns.

The Japanese army did not pay attention to the sniper army. The Type 38 sniper rifle changed to Type 38 sniper rifle, except to bend the bolt and select the good gun, and did not make any changes. When the troops strongly reacted, they issued a 4x scope. Except for the larger the magnitude, the 4x scope was still fixed in focus and still aimed at 00. Later, when the Japanese army loaded new guns, they still copied the original form of Type 38 sniper rifle, and the soldiers had to make bullets that reduced the charge themselves.

The lack of attention has caused the tactics to be outdated and rigid, and cannot be combined with changes in the battlefield. For example, on the battlefields of Myanmar and the Pacific, these snipers are staggering in the orders of sniping themselves on the canopy.

All of the above have led to the reputation of the Japanese sniper rifle being very bad.

On the contrary, it is well known that ordinary Japanese soldiers in the early stages of the war had excellent marksmanship.

These five snipers rode their horses, carried Type 38 sniper rifles, and followed the reconnaissance troops to chase after them.

The Type 38 sniper rifle appeared after World War I, but until the 918 was launched, there was no development, let alone assembly.

The Kwantung Army was indeed the elite of the Japanese army. Six years later, the Battle of Nomenkan was beaten to death, and the casualties were even greater than those of the Japanese army. If the Japanese army hadn't scared themselves, they wouldn't know what the world sector would have become.

However, in the early stages of occupying the Northeast, frontal combat was invincible, but once the troops were dispersed, they were helplessly attacked by unexpected bullets.

The Kwantung Army later learned that among the anti-Japanese armed forces in the Northeast, there were a large number of local hunters and bearded bandits. They not only survived in harsh environments, but also had superb marksmanship. These special sniper skills developed in daily life gave the Kwantung Army a headache.

At the same time, during the 128th Incident in Shanghai, the German-aided German division was equipped with about 300 98k sniper rifles. The snipers were also trained by German consultants. The Japanese army attacked Shanghai at the beginning of the battle complained and the officers suffered a lot of losses.

After experiencing the losses of sniper operations from one south to the other, the Japanese understood that the opponent of the sniper can only be a sniper.

The equipment department immediately launched the Japanese sniper rifle.

They "smartly" changed the flat-headed bolt of the Type 38 into a curved shape, then picked out a good gun from the Type 38 production line, installed a sniper lens, and launched a fresh Type 38 (modified) sniper rifle, which was immediately placed in the front-line troops.

As soon as the reconnaissance troops discovered a Chinese soldier in the distance, they immediately set off the road and hid in the woods on the side of the road.

The status of the Japanese snipers is higher than that of these ordinary Japanese soldiers who reconnaissance, and they took over the battle.

The five people asked the cavalry to hide behind, took off their sniper rifles, and sneaked in the mountains and fields to approach Wang Hong and his group.

In just a few minutes, at a distance of 00 meters, a sniper with a good position raised his gun and aimed at Wang Hong surrounded by the soldiers.

They didn't know whether it was Wang Hong or not, but as long as they were an officer, they would be fine if they shot directly.

Wang Hong also found an abnormality.

The sound of horse hooves faintly came from afar, which immediately made them get off the road. Some of the soldiers led their horses into the woods, while others set up submachine guns.

Wang Hong sat on the horse's back, leaned against the woods, picked up a telescope to see where the Japanese army was chasing.

Suddenly, a faint red light flashed in the telescope.

The moment when the red light was in his eyes for more than 00 seconds, Wang Hong felt his scalp numbness and his body was extremely dangerous. His tail vertebra suddenly moved spontaneously, and his body was instinctively directed, and he made a lie horizontally on the horse's back.

Until his body fell down, Wang Hong's brain had not yet reacted to what was going on, and his hand was still subconsciously touching the pistol.

This is the intuitive reaction of the warrior.

But despite this, he was shot.
