Chapter 14 Section 5

"The history of snipers in a broad sense can be traced back to thousands of years ago." Yan Lin said holding an 85 sniper rifle, "'When the invincible Achilles swaggered in front of the gate of Troy, the city wall A cold arrow was shot from an unknown corner of the sky and hit his ankle! The number one hero in ancient Greek legend died miserably!'——This is the first record about a sniper, Do you know which book this is by which author?" The training team members in front of him were sitting on the grass, holding their sniper rifles with blank faces.He smiled, this result is not unexpected, he looked at Han Guang: "You say."

"Report, the ancient Greek "Homer's Epic", which describes the archer Paris." Han Guang stood up and said. Yan Lin nodded: "Sit down. Today I let you learn the history of snipers. What's the point? - It is to cultivate your sense of belief and pride as snipers. To become a real sniper, not only To shoot well, you also need to have the culture of a sniper, and have a strong sense of belief and pride—why? Because what you have to face is endless loneliness, loneliness, fatigue, fear, cold, and heat. That’s right, it’s the huge torment after killing someone deep in our hearts, because although we are state machines, we are also living people, and living people have thoughts—how do you feel after seeing a headshot shot? The main task of the snipers of the special forces is to shoot the head, or shoot the heart and other vital parts. What do you rely on to overcome these? - Rely on faith, rely on faith, rely on the sniper's own sense of honor and pride. This is The culture of snipers, and I summarize the culture of snipers of Chinese special forces as - 'assassins'."

The players listened quietly. "What is an 'Assassin'? Sima Qian wrote a special 'Biography of an Assassin' in the 'Historical Records' - what is the spiritual essence of an 'Assassin'? 'A great hero is called an Assassin'! For a promise, you can go through fire and water , I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life! Just a promise, we must overcome obstacles and move forward! - Loyalty, bravery, tenacity! And have a chivalrous heart, never kill innocent people indiscriminately! With an indestructible sense of faith and mission, This kind of spiritual essence is enough to overcome all difficulties and fulfill my promise!"

Yan Lin's voice became high: "So, only the best snipers - can be called 'assassins'!" Han Guang's eyes were bright. Everyone's eyes are shining. "Assassin—this is the code name of the sniper training team this time, and it will also be the code name of the sniper training team over the years." Yan Lin said, "We have reported to the superior for approval. Hands are divided into three levels - 'Assassin', 'Sound Arrow' and 'Singing Dysprosium'. As for the selection criteria, you will gradually come into contact with them in the future. But I can tell you that the proportion is very small - among the thirty-two of you , there will only be one person who can win the 'Assassin' qualification!"

Cai Xiaochun is eager to try. Yan Lin threw the gun to Tian Xiaoniu: "This morning - basic training for the sniper tactics team, first popularize it for them. You organize it." "Yes!" Tian Xiaoniu ran to the training team members, "Let me briefly introduce you. The so-called sniper team is generally composed of 2 to 3 people, divided into the first sniper, the observer, or the second sniper. Under special circumstances, there will be a fire support hand, that is, the third sniper. The tasks of a sniper can be briefly summarized as - designated hunting, team reconnaissance, fire support, cruise hunting, fixed-point killing, and non-hard targets control and destroy..."

Yan Lin sat on the side of the paratrooper assault vehicle, watching these young training team members start to form. The future snipers start professional basic training, and what awaits them is a severe test, but they don't care anymore, because they are tough guys.What's more, there is still a dream calling them. That is - "Assassin".
