Section 3 Infantry Skills Training
After ten days of physical adaptation training, Duan Tianwolf entered the second stage of training, infantry skill training.
Because this requires the help of a lot of venues and equipment, it is inconvenient in Moscow, so Pushkin took Duan Tianwolf to sit on the plane to the eastern training camp the day after the end of the ten-day physical training.
On the plane, Duan Tianwolf, who was wearing a hat, was like ten days ago, his eyes were listlessly closed, lying on the sofa looking drowsy, and he didn't have any energy at all. Also, his face was still so pale.
Although he knew that Duan Tianwolf's body was very different from ten days ago, when he saw that Duan Tianwolf was still so weak and forever lacking sleep, Pushkin, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but say: "I really doubt that the cruel training I gave you in the previous ten days has any effect. ”
"Of course it works, at least my breathing is much smoother than before, even if I carry a weight of 20 kilograms and 10,000 meters, my bronchial tubes will not hurt. My physical fitness has definitely more than doubled compared to 10 days ago, and the explosiveness of my muscles, my running speed, and my body's instinctive reflexes are all the same as they were 10 days ago. These are all the credit of you, the devil coach, how can you just erase it? Duan Tian Wolf drooped his eyes and said.
"Then why hasn't your mental state changed at all? Or do you look like you've never woken up? Pushkin asked.
"Huh this?" Duan Tianwolf's eyes widened reluctantly, "There is nothing to be done about this, even if you train for ten years, I will probably still look like this." ”
Pushkin shook his head speechlessly, pulled down his hat and went to sleep.
Three hours later, the plane arrived in a city in eastern Russia, and then Pushkin took Duan Tianwolf to a military truck, and five hours later arrived at a training camp in the snow and ice.
The training camp looks no different from a regular military camp, with guards, guards, and sentry posts.
After the military truck dropped off Pushkin and Duan Tianwolf at the gate of the training camp, it drove away.
The two waited at the door for a while, and a tall Russian dressed in a military uniform came out, and as soon as he saw Pushkin, he immediately enthusiastically gave him a bear hug, and then the two greeted and talked loudly.
Duan Tianluo didn't understand a word, because the two of them spoke in Russian.
After a while, Duan Tianluo saw the Russian looking at him with an extremely suspicious gaze, and then he saw Pushkin pat the Russian on the shoulder and said a lot of words with a smile.
After a long time, the Russian nodded a little hesitantly and let the two of them in.
Not long after, the Russian took Duan Tianluo and Pushkin to a separate barracks, explained a few words to Pushkin and left. As soon as the Russian left, Duan Tianluo asked, "Does your friend think I'm not good?" ”
"yes." Pushkin smiled and nodded, "He's worried that you'll die here, because training here is known for its rigour." ”
"And what did you tell him?"
"I said, even if all the people in this training camp die, you will survive to the end and collect their bodies." Pushkin laughed.
Duan Tianluo smiled and said, "It's over." ”
"Alright, let's get down to business. We are now coming not in a playground, but in a special training camp that is even stricter than a regular military camp. It specializes in training the best mercenaries in the world, and its level of training is no different from that of training special forces. There is a lot of training here, which is dedicated to training different talents for various mercenary regiments. Here, there are five regular courses, a recruit course, an officer course, an infantry support course, as well as a command course for officers, and a special course for signal corps and its managers. ”
"So which course am I going to take? Do you want to go to all of them? Duan Tianluo asked.
"Nope." Pushkin shook his head, "None of these courses are for you, these are just regular courses, and you are going to take courses for special qualifications." ”
"And you tell me again?"
"Let you know a little bit more." Pushkin smiled and said, "I am the instructor of your special qualification course, but your physical fitness course is not under my control, but with other people." Their training here is a bit inhuman, and the tempers of the instructors are also a bit short-tempered, so you have to be mentally prepared. ”
"I will." Duan Tianluo nodded, "However, I would like to know what I will learn in the past forty days. ”
"In addition to the physical training that is equivalent to the maximum intensity of the acclimatization period, you will also need to do basic infantry training, various weapon use, military geography, first aid and three defense training. In the first twenty days, the main thing is to train your personal skills. Over the next 20 days, you will be trained with other trainers, and the focus will shift from individual skills to tandem, group, platoon, and company tactical training, and field training will become more and more frequent, including patrols, ambushes, defenses, and the use of assault equipment such as landing craft, fast assault boats, helicopters, etc., as well as rock climbing and abseiling. ”
"Sounds like I'm going to be busy for forty days?" Duan Tianluo blinked his eyes and said with some excitement.
"You're so busy you're dying that you're dead." Pushkin said, smiling at Duan Tianwolf, "I promise." ”
In the following days, it turned out that Pushkin was not lying, and Duan Tianwolf was indeed beaten to death. The instructors often ask them to do some inhuman things, such as soaking in the icy sea water for one night, and suddenly asking you to march 20,000 meters with a weight in the middle of the night.
At this time, Duan Tianwolf began to thank Pushkin for the ten days of almost crazy acclimatization training before this. If it weren't for those ten days, Duan Tian Wolf might have really died here.
And in fact, in this inhuman way of training, it is true that one or two people die every day because they can't stand this physical pressure, and many more people leave the training camp or choose other training methods with less difficulty.
At the beginning, both the instructors and the more than 300 team members who trained with Duan Tianwolf thought that Duan Tianwolf must be the first unlucky ghost to die. And Duan Tianwolf also made them almost succeed from the beginning, and he showed that he was about to be to death from the first day. Just when everyone thought that he was going to die on the first day, he stubbornly survived.
So, everyone thought that this skinny Oriental boy was lucky and would die tomorrow. Then, Duan Tianwolf really seemed to be about to be to death, and just when everyone thought that he was about to die, Duan Tianwolf lived again.
In this way, the team members who had been receiving physical training with Duan Tianwolf with contempt looked at Duan Tianwolf again and again as if they were about to die, but in the end, they couldn't die at all.
After half a month like this, the team members finally understood a truth, Duan Tianwolf would always hover on the verge of death, but he would never really die. From this time on, everyone began to be curious about this Oriental Boy, and they all called him the Immortal Boy.
And Pushkin was also glad that he had disguised Duan Tianwolf before bringing him here, otherwise, with the degree of his eye-catching, it would be difficult not to impress others.
However, Duan Tianwolf didn't have any interest in what others called him, he just desperately enjoyed this kind of training, enjoying the excitement of constantly hovering on the brink of death, and the sense of accomplishment that continued to grow in the process.
In addition to further improving his physical fitness, Duan Tianluo is also receiving the most sophisticated infantry training in the world.
By the time the forty-day infantry skills training was over, Duan Tianluo had already reached the level of the most elite infantry in the world, both in terms of physical fitness and other aspects.
He is proficient in everything recorded in the infantry canon, has a deep understanding of military geography, first aid in various situations, and is able to use all kinds of weapons proficiently. He can even be a competent platoon or company commander when needed, leading his squad to patrol and ambush as well as defense and interdiction.
Whether it's a landing craft, a fast assault boat, or a helicopter attack, he can do it with ease. He can also be like a mountain veteran, skilled in rock climbing and abseiling.
And Duan Tianwolf's second skill, or his second talent, is hand-to-hand combat.
Duan Tian Wolf naturally possessed sharp judgment and insight that no one could match, which allowed him to predict the opponent's attack route in the shortest possible time and perceive the opponent's weaknesses.
In the past, I couldn't control my body well, so although I had this ability in my mind, it was difficult to show it in my behavior. However, after a total of fifty days of frenzied training, his body's potential has been developed on a large scale, and his strength, agility, and control over his entire body are all the same as before.
Therefore, at present, Duan Tianwolf's fighting strength is already very good, and ordinary special forces are not his opponents. Of course, if you run into a level like Pushkin or Oda Arishin, he is still a little worse.
And in these forty days, what Duan Tianwolf was most passionate about was not combat training, nor physical training, nor infantry training, but firearms training, more precisely, sniper rifles.
That's right, it's a sniper rifle.
Duan Tianluo has an incredible talent for sniping, which is a new discovery shared by Pushkin and Duan Tianwolf in the training camp.
Duan Tianluo's fanaticism for sniper rifles is second only to computers.
Ever since Pushkin mentioned the sniper rifle to Duan Tianluo on the sixth day of the training camp, Duan Tianluo began to pounce on the sniper rifle with enthusiasm that even he himself could not understand.
In the thirty-four days, apart from normal training, Duan Tianluo spent almost all of his time on sniper rifles. Even if he was so tired that he wanted to lie still in the coffin, Duan Tianluo would still insist that Pushkin take him to fight a few hundred rounds.
The M107 long-range sniper rifle that can accurately hit a target the size of a water cup at a distance of two thousand meters, the SSG69 sniper rifle, which is known as the "precision-guided weapon mounted on an ox cart", the most classic G22 sniper rifle in Germany, the latest weapon distributed by the US military in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the M107 sniper rifle, which was rated as one of the "ten greatest scientific and technological inventions of the US Army in 2004" by the US Army Material Command, Duan Tianluo used all of them in the training camp.
And Duan Tianwolf's favorite use, the Russian-made SVD sniper rifle.
Of all the small arms, the most trusted by the Russians, in addition to the Kalashnikov automatic rifle, is the Dragunov SVD sniper rifle. This sniper rifle has been in service for more than 40 years, and has been trusted by the Russians since the days of the Soviet Red Army, and it is still used by the Russians until the time of the Chechen counterinsurgency.
The SVD sniper rifle is mainly used as a single weapon used by border posts and infantry snipers to kill and injure a single important target at medium and long distances. It is an air-conductive automatic mode with a bolt rotation locking and a magazine feed of 10 rounds. The specially equipped 4x optical sight has a small light bulb in it for the shooter to aim at the target at night.
As the world's top agent and a firearms expert with nearly twenty years of experience, when he saw Duan Tianluo pick up his sniper rifle and fire the first shot, Pushkin realized that Duan Tianluo had an amazing talent for sniper rifles.
A really good sniper has to take into account a lot of things, wind direction, humidity, temperature, ballistics, all of them, and most importantly, rely on your own experience and feelings to predict where the target will move.
Under normal circumstances, it often takes years or even longer to train a good sniper.
However, Duan Tianluo picked up his sniper rifle and fired the first bullet that hit the target, a small target 1,500 meters away.
The reason why Duan Tianluo has such a high talent for sniper rifles may be because sniping is similar to a computer, both of which require precise calculations and natural sharp intuition. Duan Tian Wolf seemed to have a talent for anything that required precise calculations and speculation.
And when he felt Duan Tianwolf's talent in this area, Pushkin immediately warned him to keep it a secret, and at the same time tried his best to cover it up for him.
Because a good sniper with talent is an extremely rare resource. The most scarce talent among mercenaries is a good sniper. If the people in the training camp knew that Duan Tian Wolf had this talent, then he would inevitably be strongly invited by the mercenary groups. None of these mercenary groups are easy to mess with, and they are not so easy to refuse.
