At this moment, the Sharpshooters 4th division was already lined up neatly at the outdoor shooting training ground. Instructor Gong Jian stood in front of them and lectured,
"Let me emphasize once more. Sniper shooting is different from normal shooting. When a bullet is fired at a certain distance, it will be affected by external factors such as wind speed, gravity, air humidity, density, and so on. It will not be able to accurately hit the target."
"Learning sniper tactics is to let you understand these interference factors, make adjustments in the shortest time, and use the best angle and shooting point to accurately hit the target!"
"As excellent snipers, you have a special mission on your shoulders. Once the war breaks out, you will join the battlefield and become the greatest guarantee for your comrades."
"Our Sharpshooter 4th division is the trump card force of the entire regiment, and you… You have to be the trump card among the trump cards!"
"Today is the monthly sniper competition of the Sharpshooter Division. Those who are interested in participating, please step forward!"
The reason why the 4th Division was called the Sharpshooter Division was because every soldier was the best in the entire regiment.
However, not every sharpshooter could become a sniper. There were too many things that needed to be learned and mastered, including mathematical knowledge. However, how many top students would join the army? Most of them were students who hated studying and joined the army. Therefore, the sniper competition of the 4th division was not mandatory. It was voluntary.
But then again, he was a sniper! If you told other people of this title, they would look at you differently.
The envious and worshipful gazes of other people deeply stimulated these young lads. They were at the age of vigor and vitality. Why could they be snipers and not me?
One had to compete to know if one's skills were inferior!
The military camp had always respected the strong. Only the strong could have more say.
It was an honor to be a sniper in the Sharpshooter 4th Division, which was filled with shooting experts!!!
As soon as Gong Jian finished speaking—
Ta Ta Ta!
Footsteps sounded. Gong Jian looked in the direction of the sound. The first person to step out was a private soldier… Lin Shu!
When He Chenguang saw Lin Shu coming forward, he was stunned at first. Then, he stood up and looked at Lin Shu with eyes full of fuel.
"Interesting!" Gong Jian narrowed his eyes.
It was the first time in the history of the Sharpshooter Division that two new recruits dared to participate in the sniper competition. However, Gong Jian knew that the two of them were shooting geniuses who scored 100 points in the recruit assessment. They were geniuses! Their fighting spirit was always very strong, so Gong Jian was not very surprised.
The other seasoned soldiers of the Sharpshooter Division were stunned!
F*ck! These two recruits were a little arrogant. They had only entered the Sharpshooter 4th division for a month and they wanted to become snipers?
They probably didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
Who gave them the confidence?
One had to know that the Sharpshooter Division was made up of the best of the best snipers. No matter what, they were just two rookies!
"These two recruits are quite bold! Have you touched a sniper rifle before? You dare to fight for the title of sniper?"
"I know them. Lin Shu and He Chenguang scored 100 points during the recruit assessment! Coupled with their strong physical fitness, it was quite natural for them to have some confidence! But fighting for the title of sniper? They're a little too arrogant!"
"A hundred points? Hehe, was it very difficult? Do you really think that we Sharpshooters are just bragging? Let me ask everyone here, which one of you hasn't got 100 points?!"
"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Let's see how they embarrass themselves later."
The old soldiers were whispering to each other, their faces revealing smiles of anticipation.
Just as they said, which Sharpshooter of the 4th Division wasn't an elite marksman? A 100-chest ring target was a basic skill for Sharpshooters. Even if they couldn't guarantee that they could complete it every time, they could do it nine out of ten times.
It had only been a month since Lin Shu and He Chenguang came to the Sharpshooter Fourth Division. How many times had they touched a sniper rifle?
Not to mention the cruel rules of the sniper competition.
Using 88 snipers, starting from 400 meters, and continuously moving back until one side lost…
And at 400 meters!
This was a full 300 meters longer than the normal shooting range they were used to. This kind of long-distance shooting was very difficult to complete without years of training.
Without a doubt, Lin Shu and He Chenguang had attracted the disdain of many veterans.
When Gong Jian heard the veteran's discussion, he only smiled. Lin Shu and He Chenguang were good soldiers. That was undeniable. Gong Jian naturally admired the two of them very much. However, it was also good to dampen their ego a little.
These two soldiers were too arrogant and their journey was smooth. It was not a bad thing to suffer a little setback.
It was also a good time for Lin Shu and He Chenguang to understand the standard of the 4th Division Sharpshooter's Successive Attacks so that they wouldn't think that they were invincible.
....
The sniper competition was similar to the attacking and defending mode. Originally, there were a total of nine snipers in each class, who were the defenders. Other than them, the contestants who wanted to participate were the attackers.
Soon, 17 soldiers stood up.
There were a total of three people from the first platoon of the 4th division. They were Lin Shu, He Chenguang, and a sergeant named Huang Bin.
According to the rules of the competition, the challenger and the sniper would shoot together, starting from 400 meters and pushing back step by step. Those who did not hit the target would be eliminated, and the one with the best score would be ranked down and become the sniper. If there were two contestants in the same class, then the one with the best results would be the one to decide.
Instructor Gong Jian ordered three sniper rifles.
When Lin Shu picked up the QBu-88 sniper rifle in his hand, a large amount of information about this rifle automatically appeared in his mind. This was due to the S-level sniper tactics he received.
Including how to use it and its performance, there was no need for him to think at all. It was as if he had used the weapon for a long time.
... He Chenguang had a similar feeling. He was too familiar with the 88 sniper rifle. When he was young, his grandfather brought him to the military. Thinking about how his grandfather had taught him sniper tactics since he was young, he couldn't help but take a deep look at Lin Shu.
He knew that Lin Shu's shooting skills were ridiculously good. After all, he could shoot ten bullets through one bullet hole with a 100-meter chest ring target.
But in terms of sniping…
He Chenguang had never submitted to anyone!
Ever since Lin Shu scolded him, although he realized that he was wrong, it did not affect his small grudge towards Lin Shu. He was inexplicably unhappy about it, especially when Lin Shu said, "Don't think too highly about yourself." He Chenguang had been holding back his strength, just to suppress Lin Shu. Unfortunately…
Lin Shu's physique was too abnormal. Usually, Lin Shu overshadowed him during training, but this time, he finally reached the field he was best at!
'Lin Shu, I must defeat you this time!!'
He Chenguang stared at Lin Shu, his fighting spirit burning in his eyes. He thought to himself…
