Soldiers Assault: Starting from the 7th Steel Company

Chapter 128 2000 meters? Eggs?

In his spare time, Wu Zhe enjoys reading historical materials on military warfare, and he is naturally very familiar with the "decapitation" operation that Western military powers love to use.

Therefore, when Chen Jiang asked about the enemy's weaknesses and vulnerabilities, his first reaction was to eliminate the enemy's command structure!
Actually, others did think about it, but they only thought about it.

Firstly, the Red Army's command post was always elusive, making it extremely difficult to pinpoint its exact location.

Secondly, in our military's operational strategy, the protection of the command post has always been extremely tight. Even if we really figure out the location of the enemy's command post, how to break through the enemy's defense is another huge problem!
Wu Liu was greatly surprised to see Chen Jiang nod with a smile.
"Our 702nd Regiment's headquarters alone has at least a reinforced company of guards. If we were to launch a surprise attack on the army headquarters, I estimate that at least an entire battalion of elite troops would be protecting it, and there might even be armored units lurking nearby. Chen Jiang, you don't really think our A Battalion has the capability to break through a battalion's defenses, do you?"

His words were actually quite conservative. As the main force in the north, the 84th Group Army had done an extremely good job of protecting its headquarters. It was impossible for an ordinary person to sneak in. As for a direct assault, that was just wishful thinking.

Wu Zhe agreed with Wu Liuyi's point of view, "Indeed, our brigade has never succeeded in raiding the command post before. Otherwise, we would have tried it in previous exercises. But simply destroying the enemy's fuel supply is unlikely to turn the tide of the battle. At most, it can only delay the enemy's advance. Once the supply convoy arrives, we will still lose!"

"Chen Jiang, stop keeping us in suspense. Just tell us your good ideas! There are no outsiders here!" Qi Huan was intrigued by his topic.

He's an adventurous guy by nature, otherwise he wouldn't have joined Team A. If this kid really has a way to take down the enemy's command post, that would be awesome.

"It's very simple. The Red Army's commander-in-chief can't stay in the command post all the time. As long as he shows his face, I'm confident I can snipe him from a distance!" Chen Jiang said confidently.

Everyone gasped upon hearing this.
Because almost everyone here is a sharpshooter, but their sniping range of confidence is only about 800 meters. Beyond that, not to mention the many uncertain factors that affect the shooting effect, the effective range of the sniper rifle alone is difficult to solve.

Currently, the sniper rifles equipped by the military are mainly the Type 85 and Type 88 sniper rifles, and their stability cannot be guaranteed beyond 1000 meters.

However, the Red Army's defensive perimeter must have exceeded 1000 meters, and perhaps even 2000 meters. At such a distance, it would have been impossible to achieve a long-range sniper kill!

"Chen Jiang, I know your shooting skills are excellent, but unless you can accurately hit a target 2000 meters away, this method simply won't work!"

Qi Huan said coldly, "This is simply an impossible task."

"Well, Chen Jiang, how about we give it a try now?" Yuan Lang suggested, quite playfully.

Everyone here is a skilled soldier, so naturally they want to see if Chen Jiang's method is reliable or not!
"Okay, Captain, if I accurately hit the egg 2000 meters away, you can make a suggestion to the Blue Team command, how about that?"

Everyone rolled their eyes after hearing this.
Do you have to brag to die?
At 2000 meters away, even a chest-ring target is impossible to see with the naked eye. With a sniper rifle scope, even the slightest breath can cause the bullet to go astray without you even knowing where it is.

How can you hit a tiny egg in this situation?

If this isn’t a fantasy, what is?
Yuan Lang agreed to Chen Jiang's request without hesitation.

"Great! If you can really hit the target, I will not only have the battalion commander and I jointly recommend that the command approve your combat plan, but I will also appoint you as the executive leader of this group!" In fact, Chen Jiang had also considered this method, but although his shooting skills were among the best in the entire army, if he were to use the 88 sniper rifle, he could at most guarantee an accuracy of 1500 meters.

Beyond that, it's entirely up to fate!
Therefore, if Chen Jiang really has this skill, then this operation can be completely entrusted to him. After all, who would have thought that someone could snipe the enemy at 2000 meters?

"Captain, do me a favor and bring me that captured M24 sniper rifle! And the related auxiliary equipment too!"

Chen Jiang isn't a god; even with an 88 sniper rifle, he wouldn't have much confidence hitting an egg 2000 meters away.
At that time, although the accuracy of domestically produced sniper rifles was acceptable, the bullet caliber was relatively small, so the bullets would drift significantly after traveling a certain distance.

In the future, with the advancement of domestic military technology, such highly advanced sniper rifles will continue to emerge.

The M24 sniper rifle he captured had a 7.62mm caliber ammunition and a longer effective range. When equipped with advanced aiming devices, it became quite operational.

"Alright! Qi Huan, go get Chen Jiang's gun!"

Since its capture, this rifle has been kept in the weapons depot of Team A. Because domestic military enterprises are about to develop more advanced sniper rifles, this bolt-action sniper rifle has little research value.

Qi Huan was very efficient. In just over ten minutes, he had brought over the guns, ammunition, and all the accessories. His comrades helped set up the targets—eggs!
Everyone knows that Chen Jiang captured a very powerful sniper rifle, but this is the first time they've seen it up close.
This American-made sniper rifle doesn't have any fancy features; on the contrary, its simple design is almost unbelievable.

However, its workmanship is very exquisite, and the dark barrel and precision scope seem to tell of its extraordinary nature.

Chen Jiang first checked the barometer, then used the laser rangefinder to measure the distance between himself and the target, made the corresponding adjustments, then opened all the dust covers on both sides of the scope, adjusted his posture, and lay firmly on the ground to aim.

Everyone held their breath, while Yuan Lang and the others stared at the distant target through binoculars.

He didn't urge them, but simply waited quietly.

Chen Jiang remained still, adjusting his position and waiting for the wind to shift.

At this moment, his mind was eerily calm. He could even feel his heartbeat slowing down. The egg was shaking violently in the magnifying glass, but this did not prevent Chen Jiang from accurately identifying the pattern of the shaking.

Finally, he pulled the trigger!
"Snapped!"

The bullet whistled out of the barrel, flying forward and upward at first, then slowly descending in altitude, finally hitting the unfortunate egg accurately in a parabolic shape.

Through the binoculars, everyone could clearly see that the egg was hit right in the middle, causing it to shatter instantly.
