One thousand and twenty eight chapters cross fire
Peter sat in the chair in the corridor with great anxiety, but as soon as he sat down, Dani stood up and said in a deep voice: "This place is temporarily cleared, and there are many people who are still coming. Let's change places and wait."
Gao Yang and his friends have special identities, and Peter and his group of Russians have special identities. After Dani finished speaking, he immediately said to the people who had been following him in the hospital: "Arrang an office immediately, whatever room is, it's quiet enough, and it won't be seen by many people."
The hospital has limited conditions, so Gao Yang and the others were taken to a conference room, which was enough for twenty people to sit around and many chairs, which were good for rest and waiting.
Gao Yang is now sensitive to the word machine gun. He just heard those Russians talk about machine gun fire. Although this sentence is really nothing to pay attention to for a battle, Gao Yang still wants to figure out what is going on, because he thinks that since the signal flag people have specifically mentioned machine gun fire, then the machine gun fire they encountered may be of special importance.
Gao Yang coughed lightly, and then said to Peter who was sitting opposite him: "Mr. Peter, ask you something, can you tell me what happened to your friends?"
Gao Yang didn't want to reveal immediately that he could understand Russian, so he asked in a relatively safe way.
Peter said without hesitation: "Sir Colonel, now is not the time to satisfy his curiosity."
Gao Yang also said straightforwardly: "This is not to satisfy curiosity. Their encounter may be very important to me. I just want to figure out the way and location of their attack. You can tell me without keeping it confidential."
Peter turned around and waved at the Russians. He shouted: "Scan the things you can't say. Tell me in detail about what you have encountered."
A Russian stood up and said hesitantly: "Is it very detailed?"
Peter nodded and said, "It's very detailed. We owe a great favor. What are you waiting for now? I'm not your captain, but I didn't let you leak the secrets. I said it, tell me what I can."
The Russian immediately took out a folded map from his big pocket and walked to Gao Yang. After spreading the folded map on the table in front of Gao Yang, he stretched out his fingers and gestured on the map twice, then pointed at a place with his fingers and said, "We were attacked here."
Gao Yang looked and found that the place where the Russians attacked was in the eastern district of Damascus, which was already at the forefront of firefighting between government forces and rebels.
Gao Yang couldn't help but frown and said, "Why go where?"
"sorry."
"Oh, sorry, I shouldn't ask this question, wait a moment, please wait a moment."
The map spread out is relatively small. It only covers the part of Damascus city, but Gao Yang remembers the way the Russians attacked continues to go east. It seems that it was the rebel training camp that just attracted their attention in the afternoon.
The map is marked in Arabic, so Gao Yang needs to carefully identify it. He recalled the location of the training camp he remembered in the afternoon, and then looked at the attack point on the map, and determined that if he walked along the road eastward, he would indeed lead directly to the training ground.
I don’t know that the matter is purely coincidental, but there is still some connection. Gao Yang looked at it for a long time before nodding and said, “Okay, please continue.”
"The place where we were attacked was an intersection. We had reached the most dangerous area. At this time, a leading vehicle found something wrong here. A garbage dump that did not exist yesterday and a construction garbage dump appeared. Our captain called the convoy in time and stopped the convoy. Then his car began to retreat quickly. At this time, an explosion occurred. The power of the explosion was very strong, but the strange thing was that the explosion fragment was very small, which reduced the power of the explosion. Our captain's car was far away and his car was blown away. You already knew what happened next."
After thinking carefully for a while, Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "Please explain in detail your battle process. Can you tell me about your approximate number?"
After hesitating for a while, the soldier finally said: "We have five cars in total, including seven Syrians. They are located behind the leading vehicle. After the explosion, the second car encountered dense machine gun fire, forming a very dense cross-fire network. The locations of the machine gun positions are here, here, and here."
Gao Yang let out a light sigh because he found it was becoming more and more interesting. The rebels' machine gun positions were arranged in a font shape, one in the middle, and one on the left and right sides. It was a very simple, but particularly effective and practical cross-fire network.
During World War I, the Germans invented the machine gun tactic of setting the machine gun forward and then shooting the infantry that launched the charge on the flank.
Nowadays, infantry charges will not be crowded together, and they will definitely charge at the scattered line. The distance between people is at least ten meters away. When a machine gun is used to shoot at the enemy attacking from the front, they can only shoot in the fan-shaped surface. The hit rate will not be too high, and it will only waste most of the bullets. If each target needs to aim and then shoot, it will be a waste of time, and the enemy will break through the defense line and rush over.
But two machine guns, one left and one right, form a crossed line of fire. When firing against enemy soldiers roughly lined up in a straight line, there is no need to sweep back and forth, just aim at one point and fire with all your strength.
Holding the machine gun and doing fan-shaped sweeps, the muzzle basically does not need to be moved, and just slightly pours firepower at a point. It is obvious that the hit rate is higher.
Don’t underestimate the crossfire tactics invented during World War I. The original rebels really don’t know how to use them.
But they will do it now.
Gao Yang looked at the point where the machine gun position was located on the map. The machine gun positions on the left and right sides were about 400 meters away, and the machine gun positions facing the attack site were also at this distance. At this distance, the threat of automatic rifle firepower could be avoided to the greatest extent, but it had no effect on the power of the machine gun. And it was very important. At this distance, the rebels who lack training would not hit all bullets into the sky when using machine guns.
Gao Yang is now very sure that the rebel machine gunners have received targeted training. The reason is very simple. The locations of the three machine gun positions were definitely designed in advance. In the previous Syrian rebels, no machine gunner would think of cooperating with another machine gunner who was eight hundred meters away. One machine gun position is a firepower point, that's all, but now, the three machine gun positions have formed a coordinated combat overall, simple but efficient killing system.
Gao Yang touched his chin and kept silent for a long time. He was thinking about the fighting style of the Tiebi Mercenary Group. After thinking about it for a long time, he nodded and said in a deep voice: "What machine gun did the enemy use?"
"There is an m2 heavy machine gun in the middle, and the light machine gun on both sides is a 5.56 caliber, which should be m249."
Gao Yang slapped the table and said, "Why is it a light machine gun?"
"The machine gunners on both sides are hidden. It is a street, a zone where government forces and rebels repeatedly compete for each other. I think the reason why they use light machine guns instead of heavy machine guns is to facilitate entry and lurking to establish hidden machine gun positions and also to withdraw in time."
Gao Yang frowned and said, "Okay, I understand the area of repeated struggles, please continue to talk."
"The first car was overturned by the shock wave. After the enemy discovered that the convoy would not enter their fire circle, they shot fiercely at the second car that entered the fire circle. All seven people above were killed. Our convoy evacuated, and then we began to try to rescue the captain trapped in the car."
Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "How do you deal with the machine gunner?"
"Sniper, we have two snipers. The enemy machine gunners' shooting is quite accurate, but their awareness of quickly transferring the array is not very strong. Our sniper easily solved the heavy machine gun position on the front and then shot the machine gunner on the left, but the right side failed to complete all the shooting. The machine gunner on the right reacted very quickly. After discovering that we had a sniper, he quickly fled from their machine gun position."
Gao Yang nodded and said, "Okay, please continue."
"Under cover, we dragged out the captain trapped in the car, the driver was dead, and then we retreated until here."
Gao Yang raised his index finger, nodded, and said, "There is a question, have you observed the appearance of the machine gunners, such as what kind of race are they?"
The Russian looked at the side, and then a Russian stood up and said, "I am a sniper. I saw the frontal machine gunner. A big beard and a local face. There is no mistake. I completed a shooting on the right. I shot the deputy shooter. I didn't see the frontal face, but the deputy shooter's hair was black and was the most common dress for Syrians."
Gao Yang nodded and said, "Thank you very much, well, I also want to know, based on your observations, do you think there are any special things about those machine gunners? Please think about it carefully, and it counts in any aspect."
A group of Russians fell into deep thought, and soon a Russian said, "Special? The special place is that those damn bastards are shooting accurately and it makes it difficult for us to act. This is not common for those bastards, and they actually use crossfire networks to ambush. Isn't this special enough?"
Gao Yang smiled and said, "Yes, these are indeed special enough, but is there any more? Is there any more detailed aspects?"
"Yes, their firepower continues very well. They use two hundred bullet links, but the shooting pause is very short, which means that the bullet replacement is very fast."
At this time, the sniper frowned and said, "I saw a detail in the scope. Their bullet-changing action is very standard. But, how to say, it is much better and much faster than other rebels, but it is not fast enough, just like, well, just like they just learned how to use machine guns correctly, but they are not skilled enough."
