Chapter 55 Patchwork Sniper Rifle

When Winters finished speaking, Glenery stood in a state of indignation.

Neither apologize nor leave, struggling in his heart...

He couldn't bear to leave the second row and the e-company. But he apologized to Chen Bin, his eyes were still dark now! He always felt that apologizing would make him feel embarrassed...

Winters just stared at Glenery quietly, without urging him. Just looking like this gave him invisible pressure.

In this silence, Private Gordon suddenly spoke.

"Generry, Lieutenant makes sense. We are a team, a great team! Chen is also a part of us!"

"Chen, I apologize to you. When Saub punished me for running fifty miles, you helped me, but I attacked you... Or, I'll call you back now?"

Chen Bin:...

Actually, I just disliked you running too slowly, so I rushed to the front. Objectively, it did help Gordon reduce the wind resistance, but that was not the original intention...

Also, aren't you talking about Glenery's problem now?

"Godden! Let's talk about your affairs later, now... Glenery, have you decided on your choice? You still have to train later, we don't have time to waste it for you!"

Under Winters' pressure, Gernery finally stammered and said insincerely apologized. Chen Bin and Winters would not think that such a thing could completely eliminate prejudice.

Prejudice and arrogance are the enemy of a person's life, but it's really not to say.

Not to mention the World War II period when education was not well developed, even in later generations, prejudice could not be eradicated. Just like some people in China think that the demon city is rich and Kyoto is all officials...

In the United States, where education gaps are huge, and people and beliefs are messy, this problem will only be more prominent.

But as Lieutenant Winters said, they still have to train and don't have much time to worry about these nonsense...

Time was also in constant training, and it was 1943. In the new year, Chen Bin clearly felt that the atmosphere became more tense, and the most obvious feature was that cigarettes had begun to appear in the rationed materials.

Whether it is the camel cigarette in K ration or the old ration in C ration                                                     �

I have long heard that the US military issued cigarettes in wars. Later, Chen Bin had never seen them, but I didn't expect that it was true. The minimum number of people per day is twelve cigarettes, including the excess cigarettes of some soldiers who don't smoke, or sold in military stores...

Sure enough, just like the Italian army, there will be no lack of red wine when fighting, and the US army will not lack of cigarettes when fighting...

Even after taking a few sips, Chen Bin fell in love with this smell immediately. It was much better than the cheap cigarettes he bought before! Even once he went out for a break, Chen Bin couldn't buy the military-distributed cigarettes in private stores. The taste was obviously much worse...

In addition to cigarettes, Chen Bin's military rank has also been restored to Sergeant. Even if Sauber saw that he was unhappy, he had to restore it, because if he didn't recover, it might hurt the morale of the company...

Because at this moment, e Company has arrived in New York.

"From the 506th regiment! Go to Maria!"

"Group 502, go..."

Standing at the Brooklyn Pier full of age and looking at the big-headed soldiers around, Chen Bin carefully took off the rifle he was carrying.

I saw that a protrusion wrapped in velvet on the bolt-moving rifle was particularly conspicuous.

During World War II, the US military's weapons were very complicated. When the types of ammunition were universal, soldiers could choose the weapons they wanted according to the company's rations. Therefore, a company, some used m1 carbines, some used m1 Garland rifles, some used Thomson submachine guns, some used m3 submachine guns, and some used m1903 or m1917 bolt-action rifles...

It can be called a hodgepodge among hodgepodges. However, at present, except for the relatively small number of M3 submachine guns that have just been put into production and not many people are temporarily equipped, most soldiers will choose automatic weapons, and the second is the m1 semi-automatic rifle...

There are few people who choose to bolt the rifle, not to mention that Chen Bin has a circle of velvet cloth wrapped around his gun.

And people always have a perverted desire to snoop. The more Chen Bin is so entangled and covered, the more people want to know what this is...

As soon as I got on board, the health officer Eugene came over.

"Hey, Chen, what's your gun? Did you put a diamond on the gun? You actually have to wrap it in velvet cloth... It looks like a gift from a jewelry store, not a murder weapon!"

"A sight is equivalent to installing my gun with eyes! It can make it hit more accurately and further!"

Faced with Eugene, whose relationship with him eased later and even took the initiative to get closer, Chen Bin was still relatively patient.

This is pretty good!

Compared to taking the initiative to get together, it is better to let you come over!

"Think about it, after the battle begins, I will be behind you to help you knock out the heavy firepower points and knock out the commander... All the hard-to-kill bones are no longer hard-to-kill. How cool is it?"

Chen Bin said while taking apart the velvet cloth. He showed Eugene his sniper rifle and checked the integrity of this thing again.

It's a big deal. In this day, the US military does not attach importance to snipers. It's completely different from the fact that when you mention snipers later, you think of the United States...

For example, the m1903 rifle in his hand, although it was initially due to exclusion, he could not get the automatic weapon and could only choose the bolt-action rifle. But when Chen Bin really accepted it, he discovered that this gun was the prototype of the first generation of sniper rifle of the US military.

The m1903 rifle equipped with the m1913 scope of the warner & swasey became the first generation of sniper rifles of the US military. As early as before World War I, the Army Ordnance Bureau ordered a total of 5,730 1913 scopes, and as of 1919, a total of 3,014 scopes were installed on the rifles.

In other words, during World War I, the US Army had at least more than 3,000 snipers! This is just the Army, not to mention the Marine Corps' rifle that switched to Winchester A5 scope...

Then the fuck happened. At the end of the war, the Army Ordnance Bureau inspected almost all of this batch of rifles... It was said that it was maintenance, but in fact it was to dismantle the scope and then serve as ordinary rifles for regular service.

This directly led to the fact that when Chen Bin tried to find Winters and asked him to help him get a sniper rifle, or a scope plus a base to install it on his own, the other party could only give himself a confused side face.

For young grassroots officers like Winters, he didn't know what sniper rifles and what snipers were...

As a last resort, Chen Bin had to apply for going out, then bought a civilian redfieldjunior scope and its base, and then installed it on his own gun...

In this way, a sniper rifle that had no way to ensure the accuracy of the barrel was paired with a temporary patchwork scope, and was released in a new way.

Chen Bin wrapped the gun with velvet cloth because of this, the already inferior sniper rifle that was invisible.

If the lenses are scratched in the crowded space of the troop ship, or the base is loose...
