War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 76 Genius? (Thanks to 'Lao Lu Xi Lai' for the 2000 reward!)

"It's really a scope..."

On the top of the mountain, Xu Chaoyang, holding the back of an almost new Type 92, sighed.

He has fully realized the gap between the entire country and the Japanese in this era. Others have begun to equip the Type 92 machine gun with scopes, but Qu Yong still doesn't know what this is.

"Listen carefully, everything I say to you next is very important, so you must listen carefully."

He pointed at the butt of the Type 92 machine gun lying on the ground and said, "This thing is called a scope. It allows you to hit targets at a longer distance on the battlefield."

"There are two knobs on this thing, one for the scale and the other for the windage..."

"To understand what a scale is, you must first know what a 'minute of arc' is..."

"If the wind is off, then you can adjust yourself so that the bullet can hit the target even in windy conditions..."

Xu Chaoyang spoke a lot of professional terms to his men. This was also the first time that he explained shooting techniques in detail to his men, such as angular minutes, mil points, wind, caliber, trajectory, range card, moving targets, etc. He sat on the ground and talked for more than an hour.

In addition, he also told his subordinates what wind represents for a shooter, what full-speed wind, half-speed wind, and zero-speed wind are, and how to adjust the wind deviation under different wind direction conditions.

Of course, he didn't explain how to adjust the wind deviation when the wind speed reaches a certain meter per second, like the army trains a sniper, nor did he explain what the arc length in the angular minute represents. Xu Chaoyang just roughly explained how to use the scope and the effect that can be achieved after using the scope.

After all, the scope on the Type 92 machine gun was not as advanced as the ones he had used before, and for a machine gunner, overly precise shooting would be very time-consuming on a real battlefield.

"Regarding wind deviation, this can only be experienced through actual shooting. Qu Yong, go set up a target a hundred meters away."

After the target was set, Xu Chaoyang lay on the ground and pulled the trigger of the Type 92 rifle that he had never used before - bang!

With a gunshot, the stone target in the distance was not hit. On the contrary, there were obvious bullet marks on the stone on the right side. Xu Chaoyang adjusted the wind deviation and aimed more carefully and pulled the trigger again - bang.

With the second shot, Xu Chaoyang directly knocked the stone away!

The bullet did not deviate at all and hit the target that seemed to have shrunk a lot in the distance.

However, only Xu Chaoyang could see through the sight that there was still a gap between the stone he hit and the actual target position. This time the gap was no longer left and right, but up and down.

But he did not continue to adjust the scope on the gun, even though he knew what a mil-point was, what a macro was, and even knew the formula 'target height ÷ mil-points occupied × 1000 meters = target distance', and knew that this was called mil-point ranging. For a sniper, it is entirely possible to measure the distance through this formula, and then adjust the shooting to achieve the purpose of precision design...

The question is, once on the battlefield, who would give a machine gunner so much time to aim?

Therefore, what Xu Chaoyang can do is to let his subordinates have a general understanding of these, so that when the naked eye cannot achieve pan-precision shooting, the purpose of suppressing the enemy can be achieved through the scope. As for how to calculate the final distance if a person is about 1.8 meters tall and occupies three mils, that is what snipers should do, not what machine gunners can do.

This is the reason why Xu Chaoyang didn't even explain the 'falling formula', otherwise he should have told everyone that they should first use the formula to calculate 1.8÷3×1000=600m, and the muzzle velocity of the Type 723 heavy machine gun is 1m/s. According to the free fall formula of h=2/2gt^600, t as the time can be calculated as '732÷0.82≈9.8s'; h is the lower mass, and the fixed value of gravity acceleration in the free fall formula is 1, then the formula should be 'h=2/9.8×(0.82×2^3.29')≈3.29m. At this point, the falling amount has been obtained, and the final value is calculated, which is 1000÷600×1.97≈. Finally, the knob is adjusted according to this value to accurately hit the target.

However, this is just a formula. Snipers use the guns in their hands to make calculations. How could they use the Type 92 machine gun to calculate?

Isn't it redundant for Xu Chaoyang to tell his subordinates these weird words that they can't understand at all? Maybe those who could understand it originally will become confused in the end. And that's not even including the effect of humidity on bullets.

"Qu Yong, Liu Gener, and the rest of you, line up and feel what it's like to shoot through a scope. Then, adjust the scope while shooting, and feel what effect the adjusted gun has on the bullet."

Xu Chaoyang was talking when his second sister came over eager to try. He quickly reached out to stop her: "What are you doing?"

The second sister pointed at the Type 92 heavy machine gun and said, "You didn't ask me to..."

"Forget about women. You can try to find the scale on Liao 13 when the time comes. It's okay as long as it's roughly the same idea."

Xu Chaoyang never had the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls in his previous life, and he would never have it in this life. He just felt that women were too weak and were not suitable for machine guns, so he refused his second sister's approach. Otherwise, if you want to move things, will you put in the effort? If you still want to play with machine guns, but don't want to put in the effort, then how accurate do you have to be to get someone to carry machine guns for you? Even the sniper god Zhang Taofang didn't get this treatment.

The second sister was shocked and lowered her head.

Scholar Tong Meng squatted beside the machine gun with curiosity, almost drooling at the knob on it. Just as Qu Yong finished using the machine gun, he reached out to touch it...

"Tong Meng, you don't have to either."

Tong Meng was stunned, and turned around and asked, "I'm not a woman!"

Xu Chaoyang responded: "No one said you were a woman, but in my case, you are not responsible for shooting."

So, Yu Minghao, Liu Gener and Qu Yong took turns testing the sight on the machine gun. Three of them fired one magazine of bullets. After only two rounds, Yu Minghao gave up.

"Captain, I'm done with it." Yu Minghao withdrew from the machine gun in frustration and said, "No matter how I adjust it, it's not the same as I imagined. It's annoying."

The second person to withdraw was Qu Yong. His reason was: "Brother, it would be better for me to raise my head and shoot than to have my eyes stuck in that thing..."

The only exception was Liu Gener, the guy who slept with his arms around the Czech rifle when Xu Chaoyang got his first Czech rifle. This guy lay on the ground and didn't want to get up. He adjusted the gun again and again. When Xu Chaoyang looked up at the rocks in the distance - bang!

A bullet flew out and shattered the stone directly!

"Company commander, this thing is just so-so..." He was quite arrogant!
Xu Chaoyang's eyes almost popped out of his head when he looked at Liu Gen'er. When he joined the old special team, he also participated in the sniper selection, but was eliminated due to problems with his mentality and calmness. Could it be that this Liu Gen'er was a fucking genius?
　Thank you 'Lao Lu Xi Lai' for the reward of 2000. It is too much and too enthusiastic. I am grateful, full of gratitude. Words cannot express it. Thank you in advance!
