Chapter 780 The God of Death in Shangganling!

Note:

This chapter still contains some refutation of rumors, so don’t subscribe if you care.

ˆ “.”

 Looking at the four splashes of water that exploded on the water.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——

Just a crisp sound was heard.

Hampry's telescope fell to the ground uncontrollably.

The telescope lens popped out of the barrel, bounced off the wall, and shook on the ground for two seconds before finally going silent.

However, Hanprey had no idea of ​​picking up the lens. To be precise, he didn't even notice the fact that the telescope fell out of his hand.

 At this moment.

 There was only one sentence floating in his mind:

How can it be?

I don’t know whether it’s because I have been exposed to Chinese affairs all the time or because this incident is related to the rabbits. These words are actually in Chinese.

 A full half minute passed.

Hampry just raised his head mechanically and looked at Marchionne without focus:

“Marchioni, our four torpedoes are just gone?”

ˆ “.”

Marchionne nodded nervously. In fact, his heart was not at peace at this time:

 “Mr Hemprey, I’m afraid. Yes.”

 “But how is this possible?”

Hampry looked at him again, his tone sounded light and there was no anger at all on his face, as if he was a student who had encountered a math problem that he couldn't solve:

“These are four MK24 torpedoes, traveling at nearly 70 kilometers per hour. The missile bodies have been treated with special protection methods. Who can destroy them without knowing it?”

“So this must be my imagination, aren’t you right, Marchionne?”

Then he didn’t wait for Marchionne to answer.

Hampry suddenly took a few steps forward, grabbed Marchionne's collar tightly with both hands, and his expression became extremely ferocious:

"Tell me, this is an illusion, an illusion! In fact, the Chinese has exploded into fireworks, right? Right?"

This little old man who looked a little frail now burst out with astonishing strength, and the strong man who was 1.9 meters tall, Marchionne, was a little overwhelmed with both hands:

“Mr. Hanprey, please calm down. Our torpedoes have indeed been interfered with by some unknown means.”

Hamprey stared at him with his scarlet eyes for a while, then suddenly let go of Marchionne's collar, and swept his hands across the nearest table like wipers:

 “Ah!! Fake!!”

 Hurrah.

The water glass, calendar, and documents on the table. All movable items were swept to the ground.

be honest.

As a special adviser and veteran politician across the sea, Hanprey's personal qualities are still very high, and his emotions and anger will not easily surface.

Faced with some enemies who long for their death, he can be gentle and like a breath of fresh air.

This old fox-like character is a typical smiling tiger. Even if you scold his parents in front of him, he will calmly advise you to calm down.

However, too many accidents happened this time, and the accumulation of various emotions exceeded his endurance limit.

 It is no exaggeration to say that Hanpuri’s ability to hold it in until now is considered to be a good state of mind.

　　咚咚咚—

Just when Hanprey turned into a master of one-click desktop cleaning, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the command room.

Marchionne glanced at Hampley, whose chest was still heaving violently, and quickly walked to the door and opened it.

 “OK, I get it”

Marchioni exchanged something in a low voice with the person at the door, and soon returned to Hempli with a photo:

 “Mr. Hemprey, there’s something new.”

Hampry was holding the back of the chair with both hands at this time. He glanced at him when he heard this:

“Have the Chinese people swam to the data cabin?”

Marchionne shook his head and explained:

“It has nothing to do with the movements of the Chinese, but if nothing else happens, the Intelligence Department should have found the reason why the four torpedoes were intercepted.”

Hampley was startled for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he quickly asked Marchionne:

"what happened?"

 When the word torpedo was mentioned, Hanprey's calm state of mind became a little more ups and downs.

 The MK24 torpedo with four torpedoes operating at high speed was destroyed in this way.

Furthermore, when the first torpedo exploded, he was observing the scene with a telescope. He was 100% certain that no medium or large interception tools fell from the sky. This meant that the Chinese people definitely did not activate the means of warning nuclear submarines before.

So now that Marchionne mentioned the reason why the four torpedoes were destroyed, he immediately couldn't help it.

Marchioni organized his words and continued:

“Mr. Hanprey, when we learned that the periscope of the Trigger Fish was destroyed, the intelligence department began to pay attention to this matter.”

“As soon as they received the news, they checked the sea conditions around the Trigger Fish.”

“Based on the search, they determined that there are only Chinese carrier-based boats within one nautical mile of the Triggerfish, and the structure of the periscope is somewhat special. If you want to destroy it, the attack can only come from the horizontal direction.”

“So in the end, they came to the conclusion that the attack must come from China’s carrier-based boats.”

 Hampry nodded subconsciously.

It is not difficult to understand Marchionne’s statement. Although the periscope is a straight rod, the structure of its observation lens is horizontal, somewhat similar to a shower nozzle.

 So if you want to destroy the periscope, the attack props can only come from other ships on the sea.

 In this case, China's carrier-based boats are the only solution.

 Then Marchionne paused and continued:

“So the intelligence department sent a helicopter to conduct fixed-point inspections of China’s carrier-based boats, and finally found a sniper on the deck.”

 “Sniper?”

 Hampry was stunned and subconsciously asked:

“Marchioni, you mean that the Triggerfish’s periscope and four MK24 torpedoes were all destroyed by that sniper?”

Marchionne nodded slightly:

“While the helicopter was conducting reconnaissance, we happened to see a sniper firing, and the time of firing coincided with the explosion of four torpedoes.”

"impossible!"

 Hampry shook his head quickly and immediately refuted his assistant:

"This is absolutely impossible - not to mention the speed of the torpedo, the refraction of the water surface alone determines that this kind of thing cannot be accomplished by fixed-point sniping."

“Not to mention that the explosion interval between four torpedoes is very short. If it is a manned sniper attack, doesn’t he need to aim?”

be honest.

After calming down, Hanprey did think about the reason why the four torpedoes were intercepted. He concluded that China should have mastered certain water surface defense methods and could track and detonate the torpedoes at fixed points.

Although this technology is a bit outrageous, considering the various black technologies that China has come up with during this period, it is not impossible to achieve it.

I did not expect that Magei Oon told Hampuri your brain to make up too much. The Huaxia people actually only dispatched a sniper.

 How is this so special possible?

 It is true.

This time, in order to hit Wang Anyi on the water, the Bayu launched all surface torpedoes, and the water depth was only about 20 centimeters.

Although the resistance of bullets at this depth has been reduced, the impact is relatively small - the density of water is 775 times that of air, and the resistance is more than 800 times that of air. The effective killing depth of a bullet with a muzzle velocity of 300 meters after entering the water is between two meters and above.

but

 Water itself has a refractive index, just like when you fish, even if it is a fish at your feet, it is very difficult for you to harpoon it.

 This is true for fishing at close range, let alone sniping torpedoes that are moving at high speed hundreds of meters away.

Indeed, during World War II, there were indeed cases of small-caliber weapons destroying torpedoes. For example, the Type 93 oxygen torpedo was destroyed by anti-aircraft machine guns, but those cases were coincidences accumulated from a large number of attempts. Thousands of attempts were made in various battlefields. It can only happen once. Just like the Golden Shovel New Year lottery, you have to try thousands of numbers before you can win the Dragon Girl in one go.

And the bullet that destroyed the Type 93 oxygen torpedo was not a single shot, but a 'bombing' of hundreds or thousands of bullets.

In addition, the time when the four mines exploded was no more than fifteen seconds apart. If a sniper was shooting, wouldn't he need to aim?

 Are you kidding me?

 impossible, absolutely impossible!

ˆ “.”

Looking at Hampuri with a determined look on his face, Marchionne was silent for a moment and handed Hampuri a photo.

Hampry was stunned, glanced at his assistant, took it, put it in front of him and started looking at it.

The content of the photo is very simple. The background of the picture is the rabbits’ ship. It looks like it was an overhead view taken by a helicopter.

On the deck of the boat, a man wearing chemical protective clothing was lying on the deck, holding a Mosin-Nagant rifle.

Due to the chemical protective suit and the angle, the other person’s face cannot be seen in the photo.

But the rabbits have had a habit from a long time ago, that is, whether they are wearing protective clothing, chemical protective clothing or overalls, they will write the person's name on the back of each person.

 The man in the photo happened to have the same mark.

The moment Hampuri saw this person’s name clearly, he suddenly let out a horrified shout:

 “How could it be this devil?!!”

Hampry was so flustered that he almost fell to the ground.

 Fortunately, Marchionne beside him had quick eyesight and quick hands, and supported him in time, so that Hempli did not lose his composure too much.

ˆ “.”

After regaining consciousness, Hanprey held the table with one hand and read out the name word by word:

 “Zhang, Tao, Fang”

While he was talking, the bandage on the wound on his left hand had collapsed at some point, but the gurgling blood and pain did not calm the little old man down, but made a certain scene in his memory become clearer. .

That was the battlefield on the peninsula ten years ago, with artillery fire flying and smoke everywhere, as cruel as a meat grinder.

 At that time, Hanprey, as a new batch of staff officers to support the peninsula battlefield, participated in the attack on Position 7 of Heights 597.9.

 597.9 The highland is a hilltop on the southwest side of Shangganling. At that time, this highland had already experienced the baptism of the Battle of Shangganling, and the pressure on both offense and defense was not as great as it was during the battle.

At that time, the two sides were engaged in armistice negotiations, and large-scale offensive and defensive battles basically no longer occurred, which was an excellent opportunity to plate their qualifications.

  But what I didn’t expect was.

It was on this post-war battlefield that Hanpri encountered an unforgettable nightmare.

It was a sniper whose name or even gender Hanprey didn't know at the time. In just 10 days, he was the only one left among the six roommates who shared a room with Hempree.

If it weren't for the fact that Hamprey spent most of his time in the war room as a consultant, there's no telling whether he would still be alive now.

Hampry didn’t know until a long time later that the name of the God of Death was

 Zhang Taofang.

A new Chinese sniper who also just joined the army took away 214 comrades in Hanpuri with 436 rounds of ammunition in just 32 days with a Mosin-Nagant M1944 rifle that only had machine sights. s life.

 Such an ordinary Chinese soldier with a fruity name, like a fruit farmer, picked one "imported big fruit" after another on the battlefield.

He only stayed on the battlefield for 32 days. He did not continue to set a record because the Rabbits' summer offensive was over and the two sides were close to peace talks.

Later Hanpuri heard that this **** of death had become China's first-generation fighter jet pilot, but he didn't expect that he would actually appear here today?

 That’s strange to say.

 At the same time that he was extremely frightened, Hanpuri also felt a sense of relief in his heart that he was not even aware of.

 If the sniper is Zhang Taofang, then everything seems to be reasonable.

To know.

This murderer joined the army without having any exposure to firearms. He first worked as a cook in the cooking class. During his first shooting practice, he even missed the target with three rounds.

 Later, he upgraded from Bronze to Grandmaster in 22 days, using 247 rounds of bullets to kill 71 enemies, with a hit rate of "only" over 30%.

  Then he was promoted from Grandmaster to the strongest king of the peninsula server in nine days, killing 143 enemies with 1** bullets, with a hit rate of 75.66%.

Of course.

 Since Zhang Taofang was mentioned, here is a routine rumor.

The reason why Zhang Taofang is called the sniper **** of Shangganling is not because he participated in the battle of Shangganling, but because he was stationed in Shangganling.

 Zhang Taofang only joined the sniper team on January 29, 1953. By that time, the Battle of Shangganling had been over for more than two months.

The legendary sniper who actually participated in the Battle of Shangganling was Zou Xixiang. He was responsible for the defense mission of the 537.7 North Mountain in Shangganling. During the period, he killed 39 enemy troops with 78 rounds of bullets.

 Also, by the way.

When many marketing accounts in later generations mentioned Zou Xixiang, they would say that he killed 203 enemies with 206 rounds of bullets. This was actually a rumor - it can be clearly seen in the "Political Work Experience of the Sniper Movement" written by the Political Office of the 135th Regiment. I saw that what was recorded at that time was [Zou Xixiang, the squad leader of the ninth squadron of the 1st company, killed 39 enemies with snipers himself, and led the sniper team to kill 207 enemies].

As for the source of this rumor, it is the article "Zou Xixiang, the Cold Gun Shooter" on page 41 of "Selected Collection of Wuchuan Literary and Historical Materials" (Second Series), written by Lu Hua in 1999.

What fueled this rumor was the 36th episode of the TV series "Crossing the Yalu River" released on CCTV in 2021. The general across the sea mentioned a soldier named Zou Xixiang, saying that he had killed more than 200 people.

 It is true.

This TV series is not a documentary, but what it promotes is a memoir shot from the first-person perspective of a certain boss. Many historical figures appear in it. Zou Xixiang also uses his real name. In this case, the screenwriter is not even willing to do basic research. That's a bit outrageous.

Although this TV series is really good at shooting the big plot, it still falls short in the details.

  The appearance of this TV series directly intensified the spread of this rumor. Just like Zhao Zhongyao Escorting Radium, a lot of marketing accounts and even official media began to use this copywriting. How helpless.

 Say something more straightforward.

Suppose Zou Xixiang killed 203 enemies. Not to mention the nearly 100% hit rate is exaggerated. How could he be a second-class hero based on merit alone? ——Zhang Taofang, who killed 214 people, was a special meritorious official.

There is nothing wrong with publicizing heroic deeds and cultivating patriotic sentiments, but what is the point of being moved by spreading rumors?

The deeds of the martyrs themselves are enough to shock people's hearts. Why should we add a halo that does not belong to us?

Of course.

Although it is a rumor that Zou Xixiang killed 203 people with 206 bullets, Zhang Taofang's deeds are not false.

 At this moment.

On a carrier-based boat that is nautical miles away from Hanprey and others.

Zhang Taofang, who had been lying on the deck, glanced at the sky and asked Li Shan, the helmsman squad leader next to him:

“Xiao Li, is there any new news from the reconnaissance plane?”

Li Shan’s left hand was holding the communicator, and he immediately shook his head after hearing this:

“No more for now. I’m probably shocked by Comrade Zhang’s marksmanship. No wonder everyone calls you the Gunslinger. Hey, this time I, Old Li, have opened my eyes.”

 Say it.

Li Shan gave Zhang Taofang a thumbs up.

Zhang Taofang smiled calmly. Although his experience on the battlefield did not make him cold and emotionless, it did cultivate a very low-key character.

 Then he touched the gun in his hand, with a look of emotion on his face.

I didn’t expect that after flying a fighter jet for several years, I would actually fly a sniper mission again.

To know.

This time, whether it is the object, meaning or weapon of sniping, it is different from the past.

 For example, the gun in his hand.

Although this gun still uses machine-aimed shooting, it does not fire ordinary bullets, but

 12.7mm special steel needle bullet.

Note:

 Still coding in Internet cafes, I find that Internet cafes in the early morning are much more interesting than during the day.

The guy sitting in front of me seemed to be delivering food. The merchant called him around 5 o'clock to ask why the food hadn't been delivered. The guy said it would be delivered later and continued to play games. When I was going to the toilet, I saw another guy. The guy is opening a script to play League of Legends. I guess it would be weird for others to see me coming to the Internet cafe and coding.
