Volume II: A Twist of Fate Chapter 13: Escalating Hatred
Everyone looked back and saw that it was the harvester who was asking. He is the general supervisor of this training and can be present anywhere at any time. At this moment, he was standing behind everyone with his hands on his chest, wearing a pair of black sunglasses, and his chin was slightly raised, looking like he was going to provoke. I have to say that the momentum of the harvester is really terrifying, and that kind of murderous aura can never be practiced on the training ground.
Yang Fan sighed, and couldn't help but sigh, what are you really afraid of!
Evan asked in a low voice on the side, "Newcomer, why do I think you are nervous when you see this harvester, is there any conflict between you?" β
Yang Fan shrugged his shoulders and said in a low voice: "Hey, I don't know, I just don't think the harvester likes me very much!" β
Hurricane put down the pen in his hand, looked up at the harvester, and said in a deep voice: "I can only say that some machine guns have a single-shot shooting mode, and some machine gunners can shoot with good accuracy in the case of single bursts." But I think the biggest advantage of the machine gun is firepower and persistence, and there is no point in studying whether it can do accurate shooting! There was a strong smell of gunpowder in the hurricane's tone, and he did not show weakness even in the face of the powerful aura of the harvester.
The harvester didn't speak, the corners of his mouth turned up, he smiled slightly, passed through the trainees, walked to the table in front of the hurricane, picked up an MG43 light machine gun with only mechanical sights, and then turned and walked to the shooting range.
The harvester did not switch to single-shot mode, but walked to a target position, raised the gun in a standing position, took a slight aim, and then pulled the trigger, and the bullet accurately hit the head of the pedestrian target at a distance of 300 meters.
"Wow!" The participants were surprised at first, and then began to applaud one after another.
The harvester turned around, put the machine gun on the table, faced all the trainees, and said loudly: "If I install optical sights, I can accurately hit all targets within 1000m!" On the battlefield, when our snipers and precision shooters can't get out, or when they're injured and can't move. I'm an accurate shooter! This is how a machine gunner of the SK class should be! Do you think you are qualified to join SK? β
When the harvester asked, he turned his attention to the hurricane, which was not only provocative, but also disdainful.
The hurricane was actually stopped by him, he just stood in place, his face was full of embarrassment, and he had no intention of stepping forward to shoot. Faced with the slightly suspicious gazes cast by the trainees, Hurricane clenched his fists, and the green tendons on his face began to be exposed.
Yang Fan smiled faintly, he knew very well that the reason why the harvester asked this must have known that the hurricane was not good at using machine guns to shoot a single shot, and deliberately embarrassed him. In fact, the ability of the Hurricane to use machine guns is obvious to all, and the so-called precision shooting with machine guns cannot be used to evaluate the level of using machine guns at all.
The Hurricane has always been trained as a machine gunner in Alpha and Signal Flags, and naturally it is also the most professional machine gun training it receives. He may not be good at this kind of off-the-beaten-path technique.
The Reaper should know that his machine gun shooting level may not really be higher than that of the Hurricane, so he used such a trick to humiliate him.
Yang Fan has no friendship with Hurricane, except for some information about him from Evan, today is just the first time they have met. But he is very disgusted with this harvester, not to mention the heavy hand he gave to himself 2 years ago, and his arrogant personality also made Yang Fan very unhappy, he seemed to see a mercenary version of Li Shipeng from him.
Moreover, his intuition told Yang Fan that this harvester was also full of hostility towards him. Even if he grovels to Li Shipeng like he did before, it won't improve the relationship between them at all, so why not make yourself happy first. Yang Fan's best thing is single-shot accurate shooting, which is what he used to practice with Chen Jianmin. As long as he is given a certain amount of aiming time, he can shoot any firearm with super high accuracy, which is the feeling of shooting, or talent.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan suddenly stood up and said to the harvester: "This kind of little trick doesn't need our instructor to do it at all!" I can do it! Hurricane instructor, I want to give it a try! β
As soon as Yang Fan's words came out, everyone looked at him. Everyone knew that Yang Fan's shooting level was one of the best among them, but they didn't expect that Yang Fan would actually get involved in the contradictions between the two SK team members for the sake of the hurricane. The harvester is the supervisor of this selection training, that is, the first person in charge, and it must be no good to offend the harvester for the sake of the hurricane.
"Number 23? You...," Hurricane also looked a little surprised, he didn't want this rookie to stand out for himself.
The harvester looked at Yang Fan fiercely, the muscles on his face jumped a few times unconsciously, and the green tendons on his arms were about to burst, but he still tried his best to control his tone and said sharply: "Okay, No. 23, since you are so confident, then you can try!" However, if you can't, I'll punish you with 1,000 push-ups and 20 kilometers of weight-bearing off-road, and let you know what happens when you talk big! Do you understand? β
Hearing the words of the harvester, everyone felt that this punishment was a bit exaggerated. However, he is the head of the training camp, and it is difficult for others to say anything. Only Yang Fan knew in his heart that this harvester seemed to want to disappear from this world. Since that time in Thailand, the harvester has been hostile to itself. Today, Yang Fan was not surprised when he said such a thing.
"Good! I accept! After Yang Fan finished speaking, he walked out of the queue.
Instructors No. 1 and No. 2 were also watching the excitement not far away, and Instructor No. 1 put his hands behind his back, smiled slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think No. 23 can do it?" β
"It should be no problem, No. 23 deliberately practiced shooting 300 targets with mechanical sights during basic training, but at that time it was an M4A1. Although the MG43 is a light machine gun, its accuracy is higher than that of ordinary light machine guns, so the harvester chose this gun. I think the 23rd should be able to do it! But...... MG43 has a lot of weight and a lot of recoil, and it depends on his state at the moment! Instructor 2 said.
Instructor No. 1 nodded with satisfaction and stared closely at Yang Fan's every move.
Yang Fan walked to the table, picked up the MG43, and shot in a standing position like a harvester. The weight of MG43 is indeed relatively large, and it is the first time for Yang Fan to hold such a heavy firearm and shoot in a standing position. He felt that it was a little difficult to aim in a standing position compared to the lying position, and secretly admired in his heart, the power of this harvester was really amazing.
"Don't worry, you may miss the target like this!" A voice came from behind, and Yang Fan looked back, it was the 14th in his same group. This person usually talks very little, and he doesn't know why he stood up and reminded Yang Fan at this time.
No. 14 walked to Yang Fan's side, stretched out two fingers and pointed at the target paper, signaling him not to be distracted, and then said softly: "No. 23, I have been observing you for a long time!" You have a strong talent for shooting, and your perception of shooting is not comparable to ordinary people. However, there seems to be something wrong with your body, and your spine is slightly tilted to the left, which generally does not affect you. However, the MG43 is heavy, and if you shoot from a standing position and aim with a mechanical sight, it is very likely that a combination of factors will cause a left deviation.
You must focus on the balance of your body. Also, you breathe very smoothly and can fire two shots in a row if possible, and the harvester doesn't say you have to hit with one shot! Control the force with your fingers, and remember, it's bursting mode! β
Yang Fan secretly admired this No. 14 in his heart. He did have a slight high and low shoulder, and his adoptive father had been helping him correct it, and now he was basically normal. Aside from himself, even Rachel could only be seen by the results of the medical examination. This person can actually see this problem of himself by looking at it, and this can only be done by how strong the perception of shooting is.
"What! Still need on-site instruction? The disdainful urging of the harvester was heard from behind.
Yang Fan got rid of distracting thoughts, followed the prompts of No. 14, concentrated on controlling his body balance, aimed at the two-person target 300 meters away, adjusted his breathing, and slowly put his fingers into the trigger hole.
"Bang bang" two shots, each hit the head of two humanoid targets.
No. 14 nodded and said to Yang Fan: "Okay, you are even more powerful than I imagined!" With that, he turned and returned to his seat.
Evan, Parker, and Zhao immediately applauded. Some of the rest of the participants applauded, and some whistled. But after seeing the cold gaze of the harvester, he retracted his hand again.
Yang Fan ignored the harvester and walked straight back to his seat and sat down.
The harvester looked at the two-person target in front of him and said coldly, "Okay! Very good! 23 Okay, I remember you, and I will continue to follow you! With that, he turned and left their training camp.
Yang Fan recalled that Instructor No. 1 also said something similar, maybe the instructors' mantras were similar. However, what he heard from the Reaper's tone was full of hostility, and it seemed that the hatred between them had escalated out of nowhere.
Yang Fan doesn't care about this, since he experienced things in Thailand, he has become a clear love and hate. He feels that life is short and likely to be fleeting, and that he wants to put his energy on those who deserve it, and has no reservations about those he likes. There is no need to flatter what you don't like, and there is no need to stammer.
"Good boy, it's progress again!" Instructor No. 2 said with some excitement.
Instructor No. 1 nodded and sighed, "Yes, it's improved again." Ay...... It's a shame. β
"What a pity?" Instructor No. 2 asked, puzzled.
"It's nothing, let's go!" Instructor 1 turned to the rest of the group, and Instructor 2 shook his head slightly and followed behind Instructor 1.
After the harvester left, Hurricane just nodded to Yang Fan and continued his explanation. Everyone else seems to continue with today's lessons and training as if nothing happened.
After dinner, on the way back to the dormitory, Yang Fan and the four of them were exchanging some of the contents of today's course, and Yang Fan happened to see No. 14 coming again.
He hurriedly greeted him and said with a grateful face: "Hello No. 14! I'm the 23rd, my name is Yang Fan, and they all call me a newcomer. Thank you so much today. β
No. 14 smiled and said to Yang Fan, "Hello, Yang Fan." My name is Jason Walker, and my previous code name in the army was bullseye, you can call me Jason. β
After hearing the code name "bullseye", the four of them were a little surprised. AS EVAN MENTIONED, HE'S A VERY GOOD SNIPER AT DEVGRU.
Evan patted his head and said, "Oh, I said where did I see it?" I didn't recognize it! Oops, really bad! β
Jason saw their surprise and asked, "Why, you know me?" β
Yang Fan replied excitedly: "Of course! I've heard of your name for a long time! You used to be an ace sniper of DEVGRU! That one...... I would like to ask, can I ask for more guidance in the future? β
Jason thought for a moment and said, "You're pretty good now, and you do have the potential to be a sniper." I feel that your strength is the perfect combination of shooting accuracy and speed, and you are more suitable for the role of precision shooter.
However, I'm also looking for a sniper to work with. If you want, you can follow me to practice sniping in the future, as for whether you can be a sniper or not, it depends on your personal potential and willingness. And the three of you can practice together, too! β
After speaking, he pointed to the three Evan behind him.
"Great, thank you then." Evan preemptively said, and Parker looked very excited.
Zhao Erhu said even more excitedly: "Oh, that's great! If we can train with such a great god, our progress will definitely be very fast! Ah...... That's great! β
"Well, I live in 403! Starting tomorrow, you'll come to me after dinner. After Jason finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the cafeteria.
"Princeβ"
"I know, I'll check his details again!" Evan didn't wait for Yang Fan to finish speaking, and the four of them hurried back to the dormitory.
Back in the dorm, Evan quickly pulled out Jason's details. Jason's full name is Jason Walker, born on August 26, 1985, and was a sniper on the Red Team of the U.S. Navy's Special Operations Research Group. During one mission, the commander asked him to shoot 2 civilians, one of whom was a little girl of two or three years old.
Jason couldn't bear to do it, and after stabbing it, he still carried out the order. After the mission, Jason was careless in an interview with a war correspondent, or perhaps because he was angry and told the truth. THE REPORTER WHO INTERVIEWED JASON AT THE TIME PROMISED THAT HE WOULD NOT WANT TO DISCLOSE THE MATTER TO THE PUBLIC, BUT FOR UNKNOWN REASONS, THE RECORDING OF THE INTERVIEW WAS RELEASED, CAUSING THE ENTIRE GROUP AND EVEN DEVGRU TO FALL INTO THE PRESSURE OF PUBLIC OPINION.
Later, the military had to make up a series of lies to cover up the matter. This is still not recognized by the people, who want their country to rely on a strong military force to reap more benefits, but are unwilling to accept such an inhumane approach. The military did not force Jason to retire because it would cause more problems, but Jason insisted on leaving.
Since then, many mercenary organizations have invited him, and even offered him sky-high prices, but Jason is not willing to continue as a sniper or become a mercenary. He has a happy family, and he doesn't want his profession to affect his family's life. That was until he heard that T3 was able to provide legal "mercenary status".
After Evan's introduction, the four of them were very sympathetic to Jason's plight and admired him even more. From that day on, as long as there was no training arrangement after dinner, Yang Fan and the four began to receive Jason's sniper training.
They all thought that Jason was better than the later sniper instructors, so their sniper training was always guided by Jason alone.
However, what made Yang Fan happiest was that at the end of the second phase of training, his team of four had grown to five.
