A hissing sound like something cutting through the air.
"grass!"
Li Zheng quickly shrank his head and lay on the ground.
Mortar shells!
The ADF militants finally recovered.
Li Zheng's previous sniper position setting was very suitable because there was a depression on the left and a hillside on the right.
When a novice sniper chooses a sniper position, he will directly choose a place with a high position and a wide field of vision to aim easily.
But experienced snipers not only consider the above conditions, but also consider concealment.
In layman's terms, the concealment of a sniper is not just that you hide in a secret place that is difficult for others to find. For example, the sniper manual states that you cannot use the location of the mountain crest line as a sniper position, especially if it is air-to-air.
A big living person is hiding on the mountain ridge, with the moon and clear night sky behind him, and anyone who makes the slightest move will be clearly seen.
That's a good target to focus fire on.
Novice snipers will regard these principles as the Bible, saying what the principles are and what the rules are.
But no one tells them that veteran snipers actually consider far more factors.
For example, the impact of terrain on sound transmission will produce echoes. The sound waves will bounce back after hitting the hillside, which will affect the location of the original sniper point.
Many veterans find the sniping point by listening to the sound and identifying the location. Regardless of the terrain, the opponent will find you after firing a shot.
If there is a hillside on the right side of the sniper point but not on the left side, the sound waves generated by shooting will hit the hillside and cliff on the right side, causing echoes. Even for veterans, the first shot may not be able to find your exact location.
In addition, there are routes to consider.
A small team is coming from the opposite side. If the sniper wants to snipe the opponent, he must consider his own retreat route and how he will be surrounded and captured by the opponent after he is discovered by the opponent.
Everything on the battlefield is a decisive factor in success or failure, and the key to life and death.
A rookie sniper who loses his head and loses his temper will not survive a single battle.
The reason why Li Zheng did not choose the Crooked Neck Tree before was because it was relatively open around it, and it was easy to find the exact location after the gunshots were heard.
In addition, the open area is not conducive to retreat, and it is too close to the southeast, and it is easy to be surrounded and outflanked.
Anyway, although the Crooked Neck Tree has a wider field of vision and better control, it was not included in Li Zheng's first sniper position selection because it was too easy to expose himself.
It's just forced by the situation.
Li Zheng had no choice.
This is the duty and destiny of the sniper.
This profession has always had a bit of a heroic vibe.
Why?
On the battlefield, you ask the veterans, who discovered that the sniper's position would not be bombarded by the full range of firepower?
Mortars are one of the most feared weapons for snipers.
Heavy machine gun?
Stand aside!
Heavy machine guns are direct-firing firearms. As long as the sniper position has suitable concealment, no matter how many heavy machine guns there are, they can only suppress the sniper, but cannot quickly kill him.
Mortars are different.
This thing is a direct-fire firearm, commonly known as shooting cattle from across the mountain. It won't work even if you hide behind any rocks.
Leaving aside high-precision equipment such as drones, in Africa, the most common threat to snipers among armed organizations is mortars.
An 80-caliber mortar can intensively kill 15 meters, and the fragmentation can reach 30 meters.
A 100-caliber mortar can cause intensive damage to 30 meters, and fragmentation damage can reach 50 meters.
Sniper position?
As long as he is discovered, as long as he is not transferred immediately, he will be dead.
In fact, Li Zheng's previous sniper attack completely violated all principles. If instructor No. 5 was nearby, he might have turned his head and hit him on the head.
But there is no way.
If he didn't sacrifice his life, Tong Zhi and the commando team members would die.
Li Zheng did not
High thoughts.
He just felt that he should do this and moved on almost subconsciously.
It was precisely because of this that Bai Aote felt that this guy was a lunatic.
Because they were all experts, Bai Aote knew that Li Zheng was going to die.
However, this CCT can be considered a monster.
If Li Zheng goes, he will go too.
This shot directly shocked Li Zheng into vomiting.
Large caliber mortar.
This is not an ordinary 60 caliber or 80 caliber mortar.
The largest number here are Soviet-made weapons.
The biggest feature of Soviet-made weapons is one word - big!
Caliber is the truth!
The caliber of their mortars is not only 100 mm, but often 120 mm. In terms of power and accuracy, they rank behind.
Li Zheng understood this thoroughly.
The mortar shell exploded about ten meters away from them.
The shock wave did not directly kill Li Zheng, but the shrapnel directly hit his backpack, making a hissing sound.
The person was so shocked that he lost his sense of direction for a moment.
"White Otto!"
Li Zheng knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time.
Once a sniper is discovered, he won't run away? Then wait for all kinds of ammunition to hit your head!
Baiot was already at the foot of the hillside.
The man was lying on the ground, motionless.
The scariest thing is that there is smoke coming from behind this thing.
He didn't know what hit him. There was only one reason why the backpack was smoking and burning, and that was because the loose ammunition was ignited.
Bulk ammunition is a type of ammunition that every soldier must carry on the battlefield.
For example, a tactical vest has a magazine pocket that can hold at least 4 or even more magazines.
However, the four magazines obviously do not meet the needs of the battlefield, and the magazine on the gun only holds 150 rounds.
So everyone has a bullet bag with loose ammunition.
The number depends on mission requirements and troop allocation.
The minimum number is 120 rounds, and the maximum number is 200 rounds.
Li Zheng didn't care to look at his injuries. After all, he didn't feel any pain for the time being. He stretched out his hands and feet to see that everything was in order. He didn't feel any warm or leaking liquid, which meant that the parts were all fine.
Sliding down the slope to the bottom, Li Zheng immediately tore off Bai Aote's backpack - he didn't even have time to undo the various buckles of the backpack, he directly pulled out the survival knife to cut the straps, and then took the backpack off Throw it far away.
[The problem of slow update of new chapters can be solved by
Undoubtedly Li Zheng and Bai Aote.
What's more, Baiot and Baiot are still injured now.
In the end, Li Zheng's heroic behavior made him bear all the consequences.
