Lu Gang's worry was not unnecessary. At least in the previous escort, he had never tried shooting at such a height during the helicopter sniper drill.
He even regretted that he should not have made Li Zheng's resume so clear before that the commander got interested and waved his hand to pose such a difficult problem.
"It's raining……"
An accompanying naval officer suddenly looked up to the sky and quickly went to get an umbrella to hold up for the commander.
The commander pushed his hand away: "I am also a soldier, so I am not that delicate."
There were dark clouds before, but now big raindrops are falling.
A white rain curtain soon appeared on the entire sea.
Lu Gang's heart skipped a beat and he cautiously asked the commander: "Chief, it's raining..."
"Huh?" The commander glanced at Lu Gang, his brows filled with doubts.
Lu Gang said: "If the rain is too heavy, it will have a great impact on shooting, especially on difficult subjects such as helicopter sniping."
The commander asked: "Lu Gang, do you want to cancel the sniper session?"
Lu Gang couldn't make up his mind and seemed a little hesitant.
The commander turned back to an officer beside him and said, "Go, let the command center contact the sniper team and ask them if they can fight. If they can't fight, let them withdraw."
"yes."
The officer turned and entered the command center.
On the helicopter, Hou Jun stretched his head to look at the rain outside, and said loudly to Li Zheng: "It's over, it's raining."
He looked at the sniper target set up on the sea in the distance.
The target was a ball, as big as a basketball, floating on the sea. It was a buoy target released by the No. 3 ship.
He estimated the distance.
The current height is about 400 meters.
In other words, considering issues such as tilt angle, the distance should be about 650 meters.
If it was before, he wouldn't be very worried.
But now that it was raining, he asked himself that he was not even sure of hitting it.
"How sure are you?"
Li Zheng sat on the floor of the cabin, picked up the telescope and looked at the white buoy target in the distance, and then asked Hou Jun: "How sure are you?"
Hou Jun told the truth: "Half and half! I don't dare to say if the first shot hits. I should be able to hit one of the two shots."
Then asked: "What about you!?"
Li Zheng raised a palm.
Hou Jun said: "Are you half and half too?"
Li Zheng turned his palms.
Hou Jun laughed: "Bragging!"
Li Zheng stopped talking and just smiled.
An inquiry from the command center came through the earphones: "Carrier-based aircraft sniper group No. 2, the buoy target has been released. Are you confident of hitting the target?"
Li Zheng replied: "This is Li Zheng, the sniper team. Please rest assured in the command center, there is no problem."
The other end was silent for a moment and then asked, "Are you sure there's no problem?"
Li Zheng said: "Repeat, no problem, the first hit."
When he said this, the command center had nothing to say.
But it made Hou Jun beside him very anxious.
After all, they are Lu Te.
Except for the two of them here, they are all buddies from the navy.
Li Zheng praised Haikou and said that the first hit was a hit. It would be embarrassing if he missed.
It is enough to embarrass oneself, but it is unjustifiable to embarrass the Army and the Tiger Brigade.
"Why do you have to say the first hit?! If you don't say it, there will be more room for maneuver!"
Looking at Hou Jun who was a little anxious, Li Zheng said: "Old squad leader, I remember you told me that a sniper only has one chance. You told me that when I first practiced sniping."
Hou Jun was speechless.
He actually said this.
I used to be a veteran, and I was a proficient sniper on the ground. It can be said that it was normal for me to brag in front of a new recruit like Li Zheng.
To say that I can hit the first shot with a gun, I can't even do it myself.
"That's what I said back then... have you ever seen a sniper rifle hit with the first shot?"
Li Zheng said: "Having confidence does not necessarily mean you will win, but if you don't have confidence, you will definitely lose!"
He checked the sniper rifle, adjusted the rough parameters, checked the bullets again, and was ready.
Now he only needs to wait for the order from the command center before he can start sniping.
Li Zheng's answer caused a sensation among the group of leaders and officers outside the command room of the No. 1 ship.
The naval officer who went in to contact Li Zheng came out and reported Li Zheng's words to the commander and others truthfully and word for word.
After listening to the report, Lu Gang could only stare.
This Li Zheng...
Although I also know that his marksmanship is as good as a god, what is the situation now?
It's raining!
How dare you brag!
After hearing this, the commander was silent for a moment, looked up at the vague outline of the helicopter in the water in the distance, nodded slightly and said: "Not bad, if nothing else, I will take a high look at this young man just for this confidence."
He turned back to Lu Gang and said, "Lu Gang, learn from this. The Army Big Brother guys still have some background."
Everything went according to the original plan.
The VBSS team has basically completed search and rescue on the ship, and Li Zheng on the helicopter has also received orders to complete sniping at the buoy targets on the sea, simulating the interception of HD personnel.
"clear."
Li Zheng replied briefly, moved to the cabin door, drew his gun and set it up, adjusting his posture.
This time, he took a kneeling position.
"Report parameters."
Hou Jun on the side held an observation glass, made some measurements and then reported a series of parameters.
"Distance 641, left crosswind 6, pay attention to turbulence, depression angle 68, humidity 83, altitude 412..."
The helicopter pilot in front couldn't help but look back at Li Zheng.
He also found it incredible.
It was the first time for even an experienced man to conduct helicopter sniping under such altitude and climate conditions.
After exchanging glances with the co-pilot next to them, the two controlled the helicopter and began to hover at the lowest speed, trying to maintain the greatest balance of the fuselage.
The magnification of the sight was adjusted to 6 times by Li Zheng.
This is his habit and rarely exceeds this multiple.
Generally speaking, Li Zheng doesn't like to adjust the multiplier too large, unless the target is really far away, so that it is difficult to see clearly without adjusting the multiplier.
In reality, many people have big misunderstandings about the use of sniper scopes. In the game, the greater the magnification, the clearer the target.
In fact, this is not the case in reality. Once the multiple is too large, the body shaking caused by the pulse and heartbeat will cause you to lose the target, and even cause blur and ghosting due to shaking.
If the magnification exceeds 8 times, it will not have much positive effect. On the contrary, it will increase the difficulty of sniping. Generally, snipers of special forces will not use magnifications above 8 times unless necessary.
Hou Jun on the side was even more nervous than him. He stared at Li Zheng's every move and would pick up the ballistic calculator from time to time to see if the values inside had changed.
Once there was a change, he began to immediately update the report to Li Zheng.
This sniper attack was very difficult.
Not an ordinary big one...
Asking for a monthly ticket!
