Chapter 10 Section 1

Early the next morning, at 5:30, the training team started to make noise.Everyone got up within five minutes, washed and cleaned up the housework, and then within 30 seconds, they took their guns, put on their backpacks and ran out of the military building.As usual, we first came to a five-kilometer armed cross-country, and the end point was the sniper tactical training ground. Yan Lin was already waiting there, and after finishing the last bun for breakfast, he casually threw the plastic bag aside.The training team members stood in front of him, their faces still dripping with sweat. White plastic bags flew past them.

Han Guang watched the white plastic bag fly past, thoughtful. Cai Xiaochun: "Platoon leader, what are you looking at?" "Don't say I didn't remind you two - Yan Jiao is going to ask about the wind speed soon." Han Guang lowered his voice. Sun Shoujiang looked at the white plastic bag and smiled wryly: "Ask me, I really don't know how to calculate..." Sure enough, Yan Lin's next sentence was: "Who can tell me the current wind speed?" The team members kept silent because they hadn't learned it. Yan Lin looked at Han Guang: "You don't know it either?"

"Report, according to my visual inspection, the wind speed is about 4 meters per second, and the wind direction is southeast." Han Guang said. Yan Lin nodded: "It's interesting, where did you learn it?" "When I was in the shooting team of the sports school, I read a book written by the coach." "what book?" ""Marine Sniper", written by Charles W. Henderson." Han Guang said. "There is no official publication in China, where did you see the translated version?" Yan Lin was a little surprised. "The report was bought in an American bookstore when the coach went abroad." Han Guang said, "There is no translated version. I read the original version."

Yan Lin was stunned for a moment: "Do you understand the original version?" "Yes." Han Guang is still very low-key, he is not used to being watched.But this time he couldn't keep a low profile, all the players were watching him. "Where did you learn the foreign language?" Yan Lin wondered, "The original version uses a lot of military language of the US military, and ordinary college foreign language teachers can't understand it." "Report, my grandfather graduated from Tsinghua University, studied in the United States, and returned to China in 1949 to join the army. He participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in 1951 and was always in the combat army. Later, he was transferred to work as an interpreter for the Panmunjom negotiation delegation. Before retiring, he was engaged in military foreign affairs work." Han Guang said, "I couldn't read it, so I asked him for advice. He had just retired and had time to tutor me."

Yan Lin nodded: "I thought it was a leak. This book was translated by experts organized by the General Staff, and it was only popularized in a very small range. In the future, each of you will have a bunch of similar intelligence materials, which will be specially organized for you to study. Enter." Han Guang entered the line and stood up. "I saw you shooting, and to be honest—a bunch of garbage." Yan Lin said, "The target at 800 meters is not beyond the limit range of the sniper rifle, and the target you shoot is like a dog. I can't blame you, because The responsibility does not lie with you, it lies with the troops you are in. The Chinese People's Liberation Army has won any foreign war, but it has a very bad habit-the bear breaks the stick, picks up one and throws one away. You have to wait until the war again to know Look up previous experience and sharpen your guns. Take sniper tactics as an example, there was Zhang Taofang during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea—I’m asking bluntly, how many of you know Zhang Taofang—Han Guang, you don’t need to answer.”

Han Guang remained silent. The rest of the team really don't know. Cai Xiaochun blinked: "Sniper Ridge." Yan Lin looked at Cai Xiaochun: "It seems that you know, tell me what you know." Cai Xiaochun went out: "Report! Zhang Taofang, a soldier from the 8th Company of the 214th Regiment of the 72nd Division of the 24th Army of the Volunteer Army, once wiped out 214 enemies in the sniper battle at Shangganling, Jinhua County. The hero, the title of the second-level hero... The U.S. military called the local area Sniper Ridge, expressing awe of him." Yan Lin nodded: "You're kind of interesting, when did you know?"

"The report, I read it in the library when I was in junior high school." Cai Xiaochun said, "From that day on, I determined to become a sniper!" "Let's be listed," Yan Lin said. Cai Xiaochun was included. "It seems that you are not all stupid, this time I am very surprised." Yan Lin said, "But it is also very sad, because neither of them knew the basic common sense that snipers should know when they served in the army. , relying entirely on self-study. This shows that there is indeed a problem with the military training of our troops..."

"Report!" Sun Shoujiang couldn't take it any longer. "speak." Sun Shoujiang took a step forward: "I also know a PLA sniper!" "Really?" Yan Lin asked, "Where did you learn it by yourself?" "Report, I am not self-taught!" Sun Shoujiang said, "I knew it when I served in the People's Liberation Army and received military training!" Yan Lin nodded: "It seems that I have another accident. Tell me, who is he?" Sun Shoujiang is serious: "Yan Lin, Lieutenant Colonel of the Army, professional instructor of sniper tactics of the Chinese Army's Spike Special Brigade. His brilliant record is 150 rounds of bullets, 149 and a half enemies; the regret of his life is that the 151st enemy was at the same time as him Found the other party, so the bullet was not fired in the end, and it became a souvenir.”

The team members couldn't help but burst out laughing. Yan Lin also grinned, but he didn't smile. Sun Shoujiang was still serious: "My answer is over, teach me strictly!" "Enroll." Yan Lin waved his hand, "He is right, this is what the army taught you. Stop laughing and be serious." The team members burst into laughter. Yan Lin smiled: "Your brain is still alive - as a sniper, the most powerful weapon is your brain. Keep your mind flexible, so that you can reduce the chance of dying in the future." "Yes, Yanjiao!" Yan Lin turned to the team members: "You are the backbone of snipers sent by various units, and when you return to the original unit, you still take on the task of teaching instructors from point to point. So starting from you, we must get rid of this bad habit! As a soldier, you should know You must know, you can't know less than the military enthusiasts in the society-this is a shame. I don't care what others do, all the backbone snipers who go out under my command must be proficient in this profession! Use your mind In training and combat, use it in practice and theory——You all must become real professional soldiers, professional snipers! You only have one month, so I want to carry out intensive training for you!——I want to tell you first What do you, snipers, think about when facing a target?"

The players looked at him. "Han Guang, tell me." Yan Lin said. Han Guang had no choice but to come out: "Report! Gravity, wind speed and direction, optical curvature of the sight, local climate, temperature, humidity and many other aspects are all under consideration." Yan Lin nodded: "That's what the book taught you. It's not complete, but you still know something. You've heard it all, and you need to consider these aspects. Therefore, a sniper's fatal shot is not based on feeling alone, but on feeling. Learn to use your brain. You have to learn these common senses in the shortest possible time. There are a lot of mathematical formulas to memorize, and you have to experience shooting in various complex environments. Your time is only so much, so don’t plan to rest enough every day... "
