To be honest, at a distance of 1500 meters, Lin Shu was not very confident with just an 88 sniper rifle.
But this was his only chance now!
The reason why he dared to make such a bold attempt was not because he was really desperate, but because he was really confident.
[S-rank Skill Advancement Card]
With this item, he could upgrade his Eagle Eye skill to SS grade, and the improvement would be a high degree of vision enhancement.
How magical would it be after strengthening?
In addition to seeing further, it also had night vision as powerful as an owl, as well as slow motion.
Therefore, the high-speed drone gradually slowed down in Lin Shu's line of sight.
This greatly improved Lin Shu's accuracy!
However, Commander Kang didn't know about all this. He was shocked and speechless by Lin Shu's bold idea.
"How can he hit it?" Commander Kang felt that it was ridiculous.
If a drone worth tens of millions could be shot down by an 88-sniper rifle, why would they need a high-precision anti-material sniper rifle? Wouldn't it be better if everyone held an 88 sniper rifle then?
....
Meanwhile, in the command center of the Blue Army's Wolf Fang Special Combat Brigade…
"Number Five, don't tell me this rookie is thinking of using his sniper rifle to shoot our drone, is he?" Major Chen Shanming teased.
A new recruit was a new recruit. A kid who still dared to dream!
"Nonsense!"
Fan Tianlei sneered. "If he can take it down, I won't need to be a sniper instructor anymore. I'll just hire him to be the chief sniper instructor for Wolf Fang. He will be forced to face a dead end. That kid is a little delusional!"
Even though He Chenguang's father Falcon had died, Fan Tianlei had always warned himself to never underestimate the enemy.
However, he wouldn't think that the kid on his screen was a real recruit. Could he use a 88 sniper to knock down his drone?
Not to mention the recruits, even the strategic sniper in the Wolf Fang Special Combat Brigade, Deng Zhenhua, might not be able to do it.
"That kid has no idea, he really has no idea! Haha…" Chen Shanming was amused.
"We can only think about it. Let's lower the drone 300 meters and tease him. Doesn't he want to fight? Let him try!" Fan Tianlei ordered.
"Yes!" The technician who was operating the drone said.
The drone slowly descended 300 meters and was about 1200 meters above the ground, but it was obviously not within the range of an 88-sniper rifle.
But at this moment, Fan Tianlei's eyebrows jumped!
There was no other reason. Through the drone's aerial footage, the new recruit of the Iron Fist Regiment had a strange smile on his face, and his eyes gave Fan Tianlei a strong sense of danger.
He did not know if it was an illusion, but a bad feeling welled up in his heart...
This feeling was not accurate, it was even a little ridiculous, but it was this strong sixth sense that allowed him to survive countless battles before.
Fan Tianlei suddenly changed his mind. "Quickly increase the altitude!"
Even though he thought that the probability of this recruit being able to shoot down his drone was only one in a thousand or even one in ten thousand, what could he say? It was better to be safe than sorry.
There was no room for carelessness in war!
The drone's altitude rose to about 1500 meters once more. At this moment, Lin Shu's eyes emitted a strong sense of aggression.
Bang!
The bullet flew through the air at high speed.
About two seconds later—
The drone's aerial footage disappeared. First, it was a black screen, then it was filled with snowflakes.
The technicians tried to operate the drone, but the drones did not listen to them at all. They all failed!
Fan Tianlei, Chen Shanming, and everyone from Wolf Fang widened their eyes. This…This... How was this possible?
The drone had a setting that once it was hit by a bullet, it would automatically smoke and cut off a series of connections with the control terminal. Therefore, there was only one possibility in this situation, and that was…
The drone was really shot down!
It was shot down by an 88 sniper rifle from 1500 meters away!!!
....
At this moment, Commander Kang's eyes were wide open and his jaws dropped.
He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, afraid that he might see wrongly.
However, the drone in the sky was descending rapidly, emitting thick smoke. This indicated that the drone had been destroyed!
"You... You... You really hit it?" Commander Kang's mouth was a little stiff.
Even though he had been a soldier for more than 20 years and had been on the battlefield more than once, he was still completely shocked by the scene before him!
"Hu…"
Lin Shu put away his gun and let out a long sigh of relief. He smiled. "Fortunately, I didn't fail you."
That distance almost reached the limit of his level. The drone's flying speed was too fast. Before today, he would never be able to do it!
Fortunately, he had the SS-rank Eagle Sight skill's slow motion and lock-on, as well as the S-rank Sniping Tactics Proficiency that gave him a sense of gunmanship.
In fact, Wolf Fang, Kang Lei, and the security platoon could not be blamed for their disbelief. For ordinary snipers, this was indeed an impossible task because they had to calculate too many interference factors, such as ground attraction, firing speed, air density, wind speed, and the flight speed of the drone. It was impossible for them to shoot quickly.
But Lin Shu didn't need any of it.
Under the slow motion and lock-on of Eagle Vision, his S-rank Sniper Tactical Proficiency allowed him to make all the calculations in an instant. He just had to raise his gun and shoot.
It was just like the range tracking in shooting games.
Of course, there was no denying that there was a part of luck involved.
If Fan Tianlei didn't order the drone to lower its altitude and then increase its altitude, even Lin Shu couldn't guarantee that his bullet would hit the target in one shot. It was thanks to the drone's flying speed having decreased that he was even able to shoot it down.
But even so, it was enough to shock Kang and the people there for an entire year.
"Hahahaha! Alright! Good! You're good, kid! When we get back, I'll ask for merit for you. At least third-class merit!
"You have hope! There's hope for the Iron Fist Regiment!"
Kang Lei laughed so hard that his ears were about to go up.
He was happy!
This was too good to pass up!
During the annual military exercise, Wolf Fang relied on their advanced weapons and equipment to make the Iron Fist Regiment suffer time and time again. Kang Lei hated them!
He was a special forces soldier!
It was the signboard of the entire military region!
That son of a b*tch!
On the other hand, the Iron Fist Regiment had a higher standard of food for their military dogs, not to mention their weapons and equipment. Therefore, the Iron Fist Regiment felt suffocated every year!
"Fan Tiankeng, oh Fan Tiankeng, what bullsh*t information war! A drone! Yet you're still beaten down by a private under my order? Let's see how I'll mock you the next time we meet!"
The security platoon of the Iron Fist Regiment felt the same way.
For a moment, they saw Lin Shu in a different light…
This recruit was really f*cking fierce!
Lin Shu did not respond to Kang Lei's excitement. He was pleasantly surprised by the system's sudden voice!
Ding!
[Congratulations to the host for shooting down a drone. Reward: 100 EXP!]
What the f*ck?
There was a reward for this?
Lin Shu's eyes lit up. It seemed that this exercise could gain him a lot of EXP, which would greatly increase his strength!
Bang, bang, bang…
At this moment, the sound of gunfire rang in Lin Shu's ears, pulling him back from his surprise. Only then did he notice that there were still a few special forces soldiers from the Wild Wolf Squad surrounding him. The battle was not over yet…
Thinking of this, Lin Shu's eyes focused and he said in a deep voice,
"Commander, don't be so excited. The rats from the Wild Wolf Squad haven't been cleared yet. It's not too late to ask for credit after I kill them and bring you out of the encirclement!"
Eliminate the rats?
The Wild Wolf Squad was a bunch of rats?
Commander Kang was stunned for a moment before he laughed. He was even more satisfied with Lin Shu. He liked soldiers like this! Such a crazy soldier!
