Chapter 107, Into the Enemy Territory (2)

"Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend", which is appropriate for modern sniper operations. For example, in the first Chechen war, Chechen militants caused the 131st Brigade of the Russian army, which invaded the center of Grozny, to lose nearly 800 people in three days by "letting go of cold guns". At the beginning of the second Chechen war, 80% of the casualties of the Russian army were related to the sniper operations of illegal Chechen forces. In U.S. military operations in Somalia and Kosovo, it is not uncommon for soldiers to be killed or wounded by snipers. Since the beginning of the Iraq War, the sniper operations of the anti-US armed forces have made the US military miserable and costly.

For a sniper, stealth is a basic skill that must be mastered, requiring a sniper to be able to lurk for hours or even a day in various terrain and weather conditions, so as to exercise the sniper's endurance and make him grasp the fighter. During training, the sniper is expected to effectively conceal at a distance of 200 meters and fire 2 blank rounds once the sniper is spotted by the instructor with a telescope. His latent training failed.

Canglong has been trained, so that he must be within two meters of the enemy to lurk, so that the enemy can not find himself in the first time, and successfully snipe the enemy in the second time, it is qualified, as for the lurking time, it is also unimaginable for some snipers.

The top killers do not take a gun to kill the target, but get close to the target to kill, which is unimaginable for snipers, but the killer industry is like this, they don't have so much time for them to wait, so most of the time they will choose to take the initiative to attack and get close to the enemy.

And Canglong has also observed the situation of the entire battlefield in advance, like this exercise, snipers are only suitable for ambushing on their own territory, once they enter the enemy's territory, they will be discovered by the drone's thermal energy detector, and finally become a target, although under such high temperature conditions, but the temperature of the person and the temperature of the weather, it is still inversely proportional.

Even Canglong is difficult to avoid thermal detection, but he has another way, he can lurk in a specific environment, he did not swagger in, but sneaked in, even Commander Zuo, the commander-in-chief, does not know where he is now.

The failure of the Blue Army is that Canglong is regarded as a soldier, not a killer, but even Commander Zuo never imagined that he would be a killer.

This is not to say that the special forces of the red and blue armies are vegetarians, but because this is an exercise, and both sides know each other too well, so from the beginning, no matter how ferocious they attacked, the first thing to do was to be on guard, and that kind of vigilance was unimaginable to outsiders.

Because both sides are too worried that they will be embarrassed by the other party's special forces, so here the special forces suddenly become useless, under high technology, the special forces lurk in the past, and they will never be able to kill the other party's lair, because this often means that their soldiers are sent to death, and it is impossible to succeed.

The sky is getting darker, and night is often the best time for special forces activities, but in this exercise, neither side was able to penetrate the hinterland of the other side.

Canglong entered a dense forest, and by this time he had already traveled more than thirty kilometers to completely enter the hinterland of the Blue Army, and the high temperature, high humidity and heavy rainfall of the jungle were serious challenges to both men and weapons. The dense vegetation has greatly reduced the range of weapons, sensors and communication equipment, and the endurance and carrying capacity of the human being have been severely reduced.

So for Canglong, this is simply his paradise, where all weapons have almost reverted to the most primitive state of light weapons, and the impact of the jungle environment on firearms is not only the scope of action, but also the final effect.

Trees are effective at absorbing explosive fragments, while leaves are effective at refracting bullets fired from dense fire. With regard to these problems, the Second World War and the Vietnam War have aroused sufficient thinking among people, and the empirical laws summed up in them still have important reference significance for actual combat today.

In any jungle operation in history, the Heavy Weapons Division was not the protagonist, and this is still true today. The jungle tends to return the level of weapons and equipment of the opposing sides to the same running line, light weapons, and the maximum limit of light weapons is still a matter of distance. Even with small arms with a range of up to 50 metres, there are difficulties in locating and correcting indirect aiming fire. At the same time, it also makes it extremely easy for soldiers to move in the wrong direction if they misjudge the direction of the first bullet, which can put them in a very dangerous situation.

This is also why Canglong has been around for more than three days, and has only galloped more than 30 kilometers, except for rest time, most of the time, he spends most of his time in the jungle, and the biggest reason why he chose the jungle is because the trees are dense in the jungle, and the effectiveness of the thermal detector on the drone will be weakened to the lowest state, if you are close to the jungle for close detection, the canopy of tall trees will also seriously affect the data transmission of light UAVs, unless it is a large-range UAV carrying synthetic aperture radar, Because the terrain mapping and moving target designation of synthetic aperture radar is of great intelligence value for troops in the jungle.

But first of all, neither the Blue Army nor the Red Army has such long-range drones, so it is almost impossible to find Canglong.

For the special forces of the red and blue sides, if they want to go around such a big circle, or even out of the scope of the war zone, even if they can really enter the jungle, it is estimated that the exercise has already ended, and if they rely on helicopter dropping, they will definitely be discovered by the other side in advance, after all, the place of the exercise, let's say big, for the red and blue sides with all kinds of high-tech equipment, it is not big, and the electronic warfare information warfare of both sides is all-round monitoring.

Let's say it's small, for the special forces, it's not small, and time is also a problem, seven days to plan the special forces, the blue army Lang Fei this energy might as well focus on anti-special operations.

On the evening of the fifth day, Canglong finally discovered the headquarters of the Blue Army, but his problem also came, the location of this headquarters was excellent, there was hardly any position that could be sniped, and even the special forces of the Blue Army were still patrolling, and in every place that might become a sniper point, they were probing.

The defense is simply impenetrable, the maximum lethal range of the sniper rifle in Canglong's hand is 3800 meters, called the 79/85 sniper rifle, although the lethal range is 3.8 kilometers, but Canglong is not so stupid to choose to snipe three kilometers away, because his most successful sniper distance is only 2.5 kilometers.

What's more, the performance of the 79/85 sniper is not very good, theoretically there is a 3.8 km killing range, but in practice it is not the case at all, unless the blind cat meets the dead mouse, but it can't explode other people's heads, and according to the adjustment of Canglong, the best shooting distance of the 79/85 sniper should be about 830 meters.

Because the muzzle velocity of the 79/85 sniper bullet is 830 meters per second, once it exceeds this distance, the bullet will become more and more unstable, let him use a 79/85 sniper 2.5 kilometers away from his limit, that is, the commander-in-chief of the Blue Army stands to snipe him, and it is estimated that it will not succeed, because this gun does not have a special high-precision sniper bullet, but directly uses the 53 type 7.62 mm machine gun bullet.

Snipers need to judge various factors in order to snipe, and Canglong, the killer, is no exception, and he judges more carefully than snipers, he will not be a hero, he only chooses to snipe at the best distance, the best position, and the most likely place for success.

Obviously, this condition is not available here, and his gun does not have this condition either, the reason why such a sniper rifle was chosen is because this gun is old enough, and the special forces in China have almost been eliminated, but he does not have more undetectable shortcomings, because it is a gun that has been tested from generation to generation of snipers in China.

The performance is also the most stable, and in his eyes, guns that can kill people are called guns, but the guns required for various tasks are different, and he has a soft spot for pistols like the Desert Warrior, also because the Desert Warrior is better to use than the Desert Eagle.

But now he has a problem, such a tight blockade, it seems that there is no possibility of sniping at all, because the commander-in-chief of the Blue Army cannot run out and wander around, occasionally there may be, he has to wait for the opportunity, and the special forces of the Blue Army are patrolling everywhere, so there is no sniper at all.

At this time, he also understood why the Red Army did not send their special forces to send them to death, that is, he also had a problem, and this was an exercise, and the gun was empty.

"You only get one chance!" After carefully probing the surrounding environment, Canglong finally found a place and quickly camouflaged it, which was not the best sniper point, or even the worst.

But he chose this place, because no one would pay attention here, the world of scopes clearly shows the defensive position of the Blue Army snipers, once the dragon shoots, it will be beaten into a honeycomb by several snipers who react at the same time.

However, he was not ready to lie down and go back, because he did not have this habit, and he had already chosen the way to retreat, and in the night, he did not feel any tension in the headquarters, everything was very calm, Canglong had made all the preparations, and the rest was a long wait.

For a sniper, this is suffering and loneliness, but in the torment they must balance their mentality, not because of any environmental factors that affect them, they have to forget about hunger, forget time, in their scope, waiting for only the appearance of the target and the danger that may happen around them
