You know, even in the first team, the only true snipers currently are Zhou Wen, Zhang Xiaoping and Tian Boguang. The other members of the long rifle team can basically only be regarded as precision shooters.
The infantry company of the second detachment has only discovered a few potential seedlings so far, but they still need to go through a series of battle tests before they can take shape.
The soldiers of the second detachment were selected from tens of thousands of recruits, and only a few had the potential in this area, and they were not particularly outstanding, otherwise Zhou Wen would have transferred him to the first detachment for special training. .
There are not even any of these old brothers in Dawangzhuang. Gao Xiaoshan can only be counted as half. Zhang Xiaoping and Tian Boguang both joined later. It is considered that Zhou Wen came across it by luck, not to mention discovery. It can be seen that snipers are not as easy to train as imagined. Bullets can feed good marksmen and accurate shooters, but they may not feed snipers.
Accuracy within a distance of 400 meters can be achieved with bullets, but for distances above 400 meters, it depends on talent and experience.
Calculated based on the performance of current rifles in various countries, including the German Mauser, the Soviet Mosingana, the British Lee-Enfield rifle and the Japanese Type 38, the trajectory of their bullets, as long as the weather is not too bad, will Within 400 meters, it basically maintains a straight trajectory. Among them, the Type 38 ballistics is the best, but the deviations of several rifles are not too large.
In other words, as long as you shoot accurately and your hands don't shake, the bullet will generally fly wherever you aim.
But it's different above 400 meters. When the bullet flies to a distance of about 400 meters, the flight kinetic energy will begin to attenuate due to the influence of air resistance and weather, making it difficult to hit accurately.
First of all, you must have a sufficient understanding of the performance of your own gun, because there are always slight differences in the performance of each gun. Excellent snipers generally only use the rifle they are accustomed to. This is called the initial integration of man and gun.
At the same time, it is also necessary to accurately judge the impact of wind and air humidity on ballistics. In this era, there were no advanced data collectors equipped by later snipers, and calculations relied entirely on personal experience and gun sense.
Experience is accumulated through rich knowledge and training, while mysterious things like gun sense can only depend on personal talent. This is a kind of intuition and feeling after a person's essence, energy, and spirit are highly concentrated. It also needs to be strong. psychological quality as support.
Just like the three-point shooters in later generations of basketball, with the same training and the same competition environment, why are some so accurate and stage the last few seconds or even a few tenths of a second to kill many times, while some No matter how much people practice, they never feel that way. Some people are quite accurate in their usual training, but not so good on the field.
This shows how big the talent gap is between people.
Xiao Shui is a talent that Zhou Wen rarely finds. In addition to his courage and character, Zhou Wen has an intuition that this young man must have outstanding potential, so he feels an inexplicable liking for this young man when he sees him, just like when he saw him Just like Tieniu, and now Tieniu is already the best anti-tank gun shooter in the mercenary group. There is no one else, and the body is not comparable.
While Zhou Wen and the others were discussing, the sound of arguments came from the camp.
Zhou Wen and Miaohua looked at each other and walked over with the team members.
At this time, the camp had turned into a slaughterhouse filled with a strong smell of blood.
The thirteen Japanese and puppet soldiers were all turned into bloody corpses. Some of the corpses looked like they had been stabbed into honeycombs by bayonets instead of being stabbed. The ground in the camp was covered with blood that was still flowing. , it creaks when people walk on it.
At this time, Wang Maocai was kneeling on the cart where he was lying before, closing his eyes and waiting to die, while Xiao Shui, who was covered in blood, spread his arms in front of him, and was also covered in blood. However, Wanda Gui, who had a fierce look in his eyes, stood up to him.
Wan Tiangui didn't seem to see Zhou Wen and the others coming, and was still shouting: "Xiao Shui, get out of the way. This bitch must die. Without him to lead the way, how can the Japanese go to our village? Get out of the way, otherwise I will really I’m going to hit you.”
The young man now had a firm gaze and said loudly: "Uncle, although this man is an accomplice who brought the Japs to our village, he did not do it on purpose. He did not know that these Japs would kill people. And without him holding the Japs back, we would not have done it." It's impossible to get revenge. The grudges are equal and we can't kill him."
With a crisp "bang" sound, Wan Tiangui slapped Xiao Shui staggeringly with his mouth. Xiao Shui's face turned red instantly, and was stained with a lot of blood from Wan Tian Gui's palm. Half of his face was covered in blood.
But the young man stood up stubbornly, his eyes filled with tears but his eyes were firm, he closed his mouth tightly, and still stood in front of Wanda Gui.
Wan Tiangui was furious. He raised his right hand again and wanted to slap him away. However, his raised arm was grabbed by a large hand that came across and could not move at all.
Only then did Wan Tiangui realize that it was Zhou Wen who had grabbed his arm, and his head seemed to wake up a little. San San put his arm down, but the look of displeasure on his face remained.
"Master, look..."
Zhou Wen raised his hand to stop Wan Tiangui from arguing, and asked Xiao Shui pleasantly: "Why don't you let your uncle take revenge? You must know that he is an accomplice who killed your parents and sister."
"But he also helped us catch up with the Japs. Without his help, we wouldn't have been able to get revenge. What's more, his whole family was also killed by the Japs, and he was also the enemy of the Japs. We can't ignore right and wrong just for the sake of revenge. bad."
Xiao Shui finally couldn't hold back her tears. The tears instantly filled her white and red face, but she still choked and said: "Actually...Actually...I just feel that he is pitiful and I can't bear it." ……Could not bear."
After saying that, he lowered his head. In fact, he didn't know if this was the right choice, but he just couldn't bear to kill him again.
"Good boy, you are not blinded by killing and hatred. You can still maintain your original intention. You also know that you need to distinguish right from wrong before killing someone, and you still have compassion. It's really good."
Zhou Wen was very happy. As expected, he had not misjudged him. This young man was so pitiful and beloved.
Under the drastic changes caused by the disaster and the murder of his parents, he had no hesitation in seeking revenge. Even when his body was almost exhausted, he could grit his teeth and persevere, and even begged Zhou Wen to tie him to his horse and continue the pursuit.
This kind of resilience, determination, and courage is not something ordinary people can possess, let alone a boy under seventeen years old.
What's even more commendable is that in the past few days, from the grief and sorrow of his family being killed, to the spirit of pursuing powerful enemies, and finally to avenging the Japanese with his own hands, this ups and downs of mood changes did not affect his original intention and three things. Observe and keep a clear mind.
Zhou Wen was now determined to take this young man away, not to mention that he found that Wan Tiangui was no longer the law-abiding hunter in the mountains before.
