Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 371 Soviet-Finnish War (23)

Due to the interference of a small group of Finnish troops, the Soviet army continued to lose personnel, weapons, vehicles, and even important hot food in the cold winter. It is conceivable how low morale was.

The Finnish army's favorite targets were supply convoys and field kitchens. Not only were these targets easy to eliminate, they also prevented a large number of Soviet soldiers from getting hot food, which severely damaged their morale. How successful is their tactic? When the commander of the 44th Soviet Division was defeated and executed by Stalin, one of his crimes was the loss of fifty-five field kitchens.

Although the Soviet army tried to send patrols, it had no effect. In fact, these patrols were often ambushed by the Finnish army and disappeared without a trace. But they couldn't ignore them, otherwise they would become more arrogant, so the Soviet army had to continue to send patrols. This became a typical fueling tactic, giving the other side lives in vain.

On this day, another squad of Soviet troops was sent on routine patrol. Although they were full of complaints, they did not dare to offend their superiors, especially the political commissar.

The group of people left the camp reluctantly. Because they knew the dangers of this trip, they walked very slowly and carefully. They would stop from time to time and scan their surroundings vigilantly to confirm that there was no danger around them before moving on.

"Everyone stop." After walking for a long time, the Soviet squad leader made a sign to stop advancing. The other Soviet soldiers immediately stopped and knelt on the ground to monitor the surrounding situation.

The squad leader first looked around cautiously, and after making sure there was no danger, he took out a small compass and a map from his arms and checked his position. "keep going."

The squad leader picked up his Mosingana rifle and continued to move forward.

After walking forward for a while, there was suddenly a strange noise coming from behind the team. Several people looked back and saw Sergei, who was walking at the back, lying on the ground. "Sergey, are you okay?" Because they didn't hear the gunfire, they didn't enter a fighting state, thinking that Sergey fell accidentally.

But there was no response from him after several calls. The Soviet squad leader frowned slightly, put his finger on the trigger of his rifle, and motioned for others to take a look.

The soldier closest to Sergei walked over and tried to help him up, but as soon as he took a step, he fell straight down with a pop, falling right next to Sergey.

"Enemy attack!" the squad leader roared, rolling and crawling towards a big tree nearby and hiding. Others also looked for cover to hide, but in the blink of an eye, two more soldiers fell.

"The Finns did it? But why are there no gunshots?!" The squad leader held the rifle tightly in his hand, sweating from nervousness.

The reason why no gunshots were heard was naturally due to the silencer.

In fact, silencers are not a black technology. As early as 1908, American manufacturer and inventor Maxim (the son of Maxim, who invented the heavy machine gun) invented the world's first gun silencer.

Most firearm silencers are similar to car silencers, that is, they gradually slow down the flow rate of gas through each chamber, thereby reducing the muzzle sound of the firearm. The silencer can reduce the original sound of 160 decibels to a hearing-safe range, but it cannot completely silence it. After adding a silencer, the original characteristics of the gunshot will be eliminated, so it will not be easily detected in a noisy environment or at a long distance.

However, installing a silencer on a full-power 62x51mm bullet firearm, and it is not the advanced silencer of later generations, does not have a very good effect, and it can only be used with reduced-charge bullets.

At this moment, the squad leader couldn't think about so much. All he could think about was how to get out of this hellish place.

"Squad leader, what should I do?!" the soldier closest to him asked tremblingly.

How do I know what to do? ! The monitor even wanted to cry. "Let me think about it..." Before he could finish his words, he felt a chill on his neck and his whole body collapsed weakly.

Seeing that the squad leaders had been shot dead, the other Soviet soldiers panicked completely and ran back desperately. In fear, they forgot even the most basic tactical movements, and several of them ran in a straight line.

At this time, two snowdrifts in the distance moved a few times. Two snipers wearing white cold-proof clothing stood up and squatted on the ground. The SVD sniper rifles in their hands were pointed at the fleeing Soviet soldiers. One of them fired a gun. There is no scope mounted on it.

boom! boom! boom! boom!

With four dull gunshots, four Soviet soldiers fell down one after another, leaving only the last one, but he was a bit smart and kept running zigzag.

Simon's muzzle moved with the movement of the opponent, and he gently pulled the trigger.

boom!

The bullet came out of the barrel, but the Soviet soldier seemed to sense something and paused suddenly, and the bullet flew past his body. Simon pulled the trigger again, but the bullet still didn't hit the opponent.

puff! Tias next to him couldn't help laughing and joked. "What's the matter, Simon? Are your hands so cold that you can't control them?"

Tias Heizenauer, in the original time and space, was the German sniper kill record number one, his record was 345 kills. As an instructor at the Sniper Academy, he took the initiative to apply to come to Finland this time; but rather than helping Finland fight the invaders, he wanted to compete with Simon.

Simon rolled his eyes and made a tell-you-come gesture.

"Look at me." Tias raised the gun, took aim, took a deep breath, and pulled the trigger. The Soviet soldier who had run away seemed to have run out of luck. The bullet entered his back and pierced his left lung. The whole person fell to the ground in a panic, and his mouth was filled with blood and foam. He struggled in the snow for a long time, and finally got up and leaned against a pine tree, coughing heavily.

"Let's go." Seeing that the guy was dying, Tias had no intention of firing again.

Simon silently removed the silencer from the gun, pointed the gun at the Soviet soldier in the distance, and pulled the trigger.

boom! Accompanied by a deafening gunshot, a cloud of blood rose from the eyebrows of the Soviet soldier in the distance.

Simon raised the silencer in his hand. "It's broken."

The silencer is not without its shortcomings. Due to the dynamic influence of the air when the bullet exits the chamber, there will be a certain amount of deflection. Although this offset will not reduce the accuracy of the firearm, it will cause all impact points originally on the bullseye to move a certain distance in a certain direction with the same spread. This kind of movement is basically negligible in close range shooting, but the difference is huge at long distances. In addition, the current technology cannot produce the long-life silencers of later generations. After about 100 rounds of bullets, these silencers will almost be scrapped.
