Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

Stone opened his mouth wide, and the cigarette butt fell out of the squad leader's mouth.

"I...fuck."

Before they could recover from their shock, the young man with thick eyebrows had already set up that strange sniper rifle.

He glanced at the scope and gently pulled the trigger.

"Pfft—" The sound was very soft, like a bottle of soda being opened.

Three kilometers away on the opposite bank, an old Russian commander who had just poked his head out of a foxhole suddenly threw his head back and fell headfirst into the foxhole.

"Pfft—" Another shot.

Another Russian machine gunner, who was operating a heavy machine gun, had a cloud of blood burst from his chest.

"Pfft—pfft—pfft—"

Every shot took away a Russian.

The other side of the strait is in complete uproar!

The remaining Russians desperately retreated into their fortifications, but they had no idea where the bullets were coming from!

The sniper rifle fired so softly, and its trajectory was so unpredictable, that they couldn't even find the direction of the shot!

"Tanks! Our tanks have been destroyed!"

"Hide! Hide!"

"Where is the enemy? Where is he?!"

In the chaos, two more Russians tried to start another tank, but as soon as they climbed into the driver's cab, they were accurately shot in the head by bullets that seemed to come from nowhere.

"Red Arrow, second shot, ready," the young man with thick eyebrows calmly ordered.

"Whoosh—"

The target was a temporary command post set up by the Soviet army on the riverbank. The simple wooden house was reduced to fragments in the explosion, and the radio communications coming from inside were cut off.

The whole process took less than five minutes.

On the opposite bank, the once arrogant Russian positions had been turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The wreckage of two T-62 tanks was burning, and seven or eight corpses lay scattered on the snow. The remaining men huddled in the deepest part of the fortifications like frightened rats, no longer daring to show their faces.

In the trench, Shi Tou and his comrades stared blankly at everything, and no one spoke for a long time.

The squad leader finally came to his senses, shakily picked up the cigarette he had dropped, lit it, took a deep drag, and then exhaled a long cloud of smoke into the sky.

"That feels great, fucking great!"

He turned to look at the soldier fiddling with his sniper rifle, his eyes reddening slightly: "Comrade, where...where did you get these guns and cannons?"

After so many years of fighting, this is the first time we've ever been ahead of our opponent in terms of weaponry and equipment!

"This is our latest acquisition, would you like to take a look?"

The young man with thick eyebrows waved to the class monitor.

Although these people are dressed in rags, they are the ones guarding the country's borders and deserve everyone's respect.

"I don't understand this thing, Sun Qiang, come take a look!"

Sun Qiang is the sniper in their squad, the most accurate shooter!

Sun Qiang had been eyeing the gun with envy when the young man fired it, and now that he had been given permission, he quickly moved closer.

But the moment his eyes landed on the scope, he suddenly took a step back.

"Holy crap?"

The squad leader was startled, and the other soldiers also focused their attention on Sun Qiang, only the young man's lips curled up slightly.

That was his reaction when he first saw this scope!

"Squad leader, this thing, this thing..."

Sun Qiang stammered for a long time, his eyes wide open, looking incredulous.

"What's wrong with this thing? Speak up if you have something to say, stop dawdling!"

The squad leader rolled his eyes at him impatiently. It was embarrassing enough that he was making such a fuss in front of these comrades from outside!

"No...no, class monitor, this thing even displays that parabola!"

"What's a parabola?"

Sun Qiang, who was initially quite excited, had his enthusiasm completely dampened by a single sentence from his squad leader.

After letting out a soft sigh, he turned his burning gaze to the young man who had brought the sniper rifle.

"Comrade, can I fire this gun?"

As one of the top marksmen on the northern border of the Dragon Kingdom, how could he not be itching to use such advanced firearms?

The young man hesitated for a moment, then nodded and changed the magazine on the sniper rifle.

After setting up his sniper rifle, Sun Qiang aimed directly at a bunker on the opposite side, which was spitting fire.

Although they couldn't hit them, the constant barrage of fire into the trenches was the biggest provocation to these border guards.

With his eyes squinted, Sun Qiang's gaze even pierced through the scope, directly through the opening in the bunker that was only a few dozen centimeters wide, and saw the wide grin on the face of the Russian soldier firing inside.

A flash of hatred crossed Sun Qiang's eyes, and he pulled the trigger.

"puff--"

The next second, the bullet pierced the bunker's firing port with perfect accuracy, and the flames vanished instantly.

"Well done!"

Sun Qiang himself could hardly believe his eyes as he looked at the gun in his hand.

He was completely unfamiliar with the gun's performance and specifications, yet with the aid of the scope, he managed to hit it with a single shot from such a distance!

Such weapons are terrifying!

If only we had had such a weapon a few years earlier…

With the sniper rifle pointing the way, the Russians promptly hid in their bunkers and dared not show their faces again.

Even after several machine guns in the bunker were shot down, no one dared to go forward to operate them and could only hide in the blind spot.

The smiles on the faces of these border guards were almost impossible to hide.

Lately, the Russians have been provoking us from the other side.

They had been severely suppressed, and now they have finally been able to hold their heads high.

Suddenly, a series of whooshing sounds came from the sky.

"Hide, hide!"

The squad leader immediately pulled the comrades who had come to provide support and ran towards the inside of the trench.

But these people were all veterans, and they began to take tactical cover as soon as they heard the sound.

What fell from the sky were mortar shells from the Russian side, raining down like a storm.

They also discovered that in a direct confrontation, the advanced weaponry that the Dragon Kingdom had brought out was no match for them.

They simply used mortars and began a frenzied bombardment.

The explosion finally stopped several minutes later.

After taking stock, everyone found that only one soldier was unlucky enough to be injured by shrapnel, while the others were all unharmed.

"Damn it, if you can't beat them, you resort to cannons and bombardment, all you do is rubbish!"

The squad leader spat to one side, his face full of indignation.

But there was nothing they could do. Even with their new weapons, the mortar positions were too far away to be reached by guns.

Although there is currently a conflict between the two sides, they have tacitly agreed not to cross the border, as they absolutely cannot be the first to cross it.

"Comrade, don't panic, we have other ideas!"

The young man who came to help wiped the dirt off his face, a cold smile on his lips.

There is also a weapon here. Before we came, the leader instructed us not to take it out unless absolutely necessary.

But now that the Russians have already deployed mortar arrays, it's not unreasonable for him to bring out this weapon.

Amid the astonished gazes of the border guards, he pulled a weapon from a box behind him.

The weapon's barrel gleamed with a metallic sheen and was extremely thick, resembling a shortened cannon.

But the barrel is silver-gray and long and slender relative to the gun body.

Both the barrel and the muzzle have strange and unusual designs.

The scope, in particular, is like a square box, even larger than the rifle's receiver!

It can even glow and shine, and you can tell at a glance that it is very advanced.

A huge drum magazine is mounted at the bottom of the gun, drooping noticeably.

"This...this thing is a gun too?"

The crowd watched for a long time until the young man finished assembling it and set it up at the firing position.

"Bang!"

This QLU-11 35mm sniper grenade launcher can practically be called a miracle weapon under the current circumstances.

The grenade made a very soft sound as it left the barrel, passing precisely through the firing port of the bunker on the opposite side and landing inside.

"boom…"

A violent explosion occurred instantly inside the bunker.

The entire bunker was ablaze with flames, which even spilled out from the firing ports!

It is certain that under such a powerful explosion, the Russians hiding inside the bunker are likely doomed.

Sun Qiang also took the sniper rifle, and the two began to work together.

Grenades were continuously fired into the bunker.

"boom……"

"boom……"

"boom……"

In the blink of an eye, five or six bunkers exploded from the inside, and none of the Russians hiding inside survived!

The high-explosive grenades were incredibly accurate, and their efficiency astonished everyone.

Not to mention the Chinese soldiers, even the Russians on the other side were dumbfounded and didn't know what to do.

Generally speaking, for small-scale conflicts like this, simply using mortars to bombard the area is already considered the highest level of response.

First they exchanged gunfire, then mortar fire, and finally, a large-scale bombardment like the one just described.

Moreover, both sides have bunkers, so even if mortars bombard them, it will not cause too much damage.

Because mortars cannot destroy bunkers; at most, shells falling from the sky will land in the trenches and cause casualties.

Following their usual practice, the Russians, having suffered a loss, took the initiative to hide in bunkers before launching a mortar attack.

The Chinese side will also choose to retaliate with mortars.

However, in terms of weapon reserves, the Russians are far superior to China.

But no one expected that after the Russians bombarded the ground with mortars, China did not use mortars to retaliate like they did.

Instead, they attacked their bunkers with unknown weapons, and each explosion inside a bunker resulted in the deaths of several Russian soldiers!

"What is that? Retreat! Back up!"

The Russian commander quickly ordered everyone to retreat.

In this situation, he has no choice but to retreat!

Mortars are useless for clearing the ground; they don't kill anyone on the other side.

Their men were all called out by name in the bunker, and several died in a single explosion.

If this fight continues, we'll wipe out all our troops!

Moreover, those who were still alive at this moment were all looking in the direction of the Dragon Kingdom with fear on their faces.

If even the bunkers aren't safe, where else can we hide?

I'm afraid they'll be killed as soon as they get to the front!

Even in modern times, in small-scale close-quarters combat, a QLU-11 35mm sniper grenade launcher is a powerful weapon that can directly influence the course of a battle.

Moreover, this was in the 60s.

Although this weapon is highly accurate, its explosive power is less than that of a mortar shell, so it remains within the limits of restraint for both sides.

So the Russians haven't been able to find any dirt on China.

If they dare to use even more powerful weapons, then they are not here for conflict, but for war!

Putting aside the fact that the United States is watching closely and might take advantage of the situation, let alone the fact that it is eyeing the situation covetously.

The Dragon Kingdom of this era alone will not fear war with any country in the world!

Most importantly, China developed a giant mushroom a couple of years ago, which was enough to make Russia, which borders China, hesitate to act rashly.

Thus, under the deliberate control of the Russians, the tense situation at the border actually eased.

In this conflict, China did suffer some losses.

But the Russians suffered even greater losses; just the people inside those few bunkers that were blown up amounted to several platoons!

Not to mention the officers who were specifically named and shot in the head.

Compared to the Russians' losses in this conflict, their superiors are more concerned about how China acquired the weapons at the border.

The soldiers who fought against the Dragon Kingdom have been brought back to the capital, but none of them know what kind of weapon they were attacked by.

However, it is certain that the Dragon Kingdom's troops did not use large-scale artillery fire.

After all, those bunkers explode from the inside, which means that China's weapons can launch shells at an angle parallel to the ground, and with extremely high accuracy.

That's where the problem lies!

Based on the Russians' understanding of China, it's impossible for them to have independently developed such a weapon!

It is even less likely that it was purchased from other countries. No country would allow such a powerful weapon to be exported.

During this period, Russia has been engaged in an arms race with the United States. Logically, all the high-level officials would be focusing on heavy weapons.

But after suffering such a great loss in China, they have developed the idea of ​​researching high-powered light weapons.

Compared to the historical process of the original world, the Russians in the Siheyuan world undoubtedly suffered a great loss, as two helicopters appeared at the border that very night.

After all, it is a superpower that has always been competing with the United States. How could it possibly lose face in front of China, a neighbor that has only been established for a little over ten years!

Sending fighter jets could inflict some damage on China, but a large-scale war is not what Russia wants.

The United States is watching from across the sea. Even if they win, they will suffer heavy losses, allowing the other side to reap the benefits.

If we lose, it will be a real disgrace on the international stage!

Therefore, two Mi-4AVs are enough, carrying four anti-tank missiles, which is enough to teach these Chinese soldiers a lesson!

It's because China's airspace defense has been far too weak in recent years!

The reconnaissance plane flew over the border as if it were uninhabited, like a sieve, leaving no loopholes.
