Chapter 281: The Night Vulture's Mistake
A crisp sniper rifle sounded, accompanied by the moment when the bullet was discharged, everything was like slow motion, time seemed to be slowed down thousands of times, as if the sound of heartbeat and breathing could be heard.
However, it was only the moment the bullet was fired, and then, time returned to normal, and the various combat teams rushed forward and pushed the two criminals to the ground. Yes, just slammed to the ground.
As we imagined, the criminals of the No. 2 target were successfully subdued by us at the moment when the flash detonation bomb took effect, and they were pressed to the ground by the team members, with no ability to resist, and the folding fruit knife in their hands was also snatched up and thrown on the ground.
However, the criminal of target No. 1 was only scratched by a bullet in the neck, and was not fatal by a headshot, and the bullet of the sniper rifle made a hole in the back of the criminal of target No. 1, which was a certain degree of mistake compared with the original battle plan, no, it can be directly said to be a mistake! Yes, the "Night Vultures" made a mistake. This was the first time since he joined the army, the first time that he was not able to hit the target accurately.
All ten students who were held hostage by the two criminals were rescued, except for one student who showed a cut on the neck with a fruit knife, but the wound was very small, and it was only unconsciously done by the criminals of Target 1 during the previous tense and excited confrontation. It should be said that in this battle, we also completed the task and successfully rescued all the hostages, and in the process of this rescue, we have also achieved the greatest degree to ensure the physical and psychological safety of the student hostages.
After successfully subduing the two criminals, the follow-up police came up and took away two criminals and ten student hostages, and we also began to evacuate one after another, but after we handed over the criminals and the hostages to the public security organs, the "night vulture" was still lying there, still maintaining a lying position and shooting.
"Let's go, 'Night Vulture', mission accomplished." One of the team members walked up to the "Night Vulture" and said to the "Night Vulture".
I can say with certainty that not only the "Night Vulture", but basically everyone present heard it, but the "Night Vulture" was still lying there, as if it hadn't heard it.
"'Night Vulture'! Rise! The leader of the command group also discovered this scene, and he didn't care about putting on the rest of the equipment for the time being, so he walked directly to the side of the "Night Vulture" and ordered the "Night Vulture".
Hearing the order, the "Night Vulture" finally put away his sniper rifle and got up from the ground.
"Thank you, comrades of the armed police, for helping us successfully deal with this incident." A head of the public security organ came to us and said as he stretched out his hand to the leader of the command group.
"It is our duty to protect the safety of people's lives and property." The leader of the command group also stretched out his hand, and then replied very officially.
After a few simple greetings, our "warrior team" once again boarded the explosion-proof personnel carrier, along the way, although we completed the task, but, everyone did not seem very excited, perhaps the task of rescuing hostages has gone through countless drills, and it has happened several times in actual combat, even if it has been indifferent, it is not impossible, but, more importantly, this operation, this time in the process of action, there was a mistake that said that it was not big, but it was not small to say that it was small. And the person who made the mistake was still the "night vulture" who served as the main attacker.
It can be said that many, many soldiers, whether they have just joined the army, or have been soldiers for a period of time, but anyone who wants to become a sniper, a strategic sniper, regards him as an idol, and even a mythical existence, his name, some of his related deeds, in our entire provincial troops, that can basically be said to be one, two, three, and this time, it is he who made a mistake.
"Okay, don't think too much about the 'night vulture', after all, this time we have successfully completed the task of rescuing the hostages, so there is basically no problem." The leader of the command group finally took the lead and said comfortingly to the "night vulture".
"I ......" "Night Vulture" opened its mouth, but finally swallowed the words that came to her mouth.
"Hey, 'Night Vulture', I said, your shot was really awesome, the bullet grazed the major artery, and it directly made him spasm, this kind of play, looking at our entire special operations team, then I guess I can't find the second person,, brother." After thinking for a while, Lao Pang gave a thumbs up to the "night vulture" and said.
"Brother, don't take it too seriously, people have misses, horses have stumbled, and besides, your mistake this time has not caused any substantial mistakes, besides, we are a collective, if you make a mistake, the rest of us can quickly make up for it." I looked at the "Night Vulture" who didn't say a word, and I didn't feel very good, I knew what kind of person the "Night Vulture" was, but I really didn't know what to say except to comfort him like this.
"Hmm...... Brothers, I understand what you said, thank you, I'm fine. The "Night Vulture" raised his head to look at us, and a very bitter smile appeared on his face, but in the words, as long as anyone can clearly hear, these words, in addition to the cold words, there is also self-blame and helplessness.
In fact, for the "Night Vulture", or for the sniper, in many cases they only have one chance, whether in the performance of regular tasks or on the battlefield, according to relevant data, the number of bullets used by snipers is the least in the world, on the other hand, it will mean that snipers have almost achieved 100 shots. Although the psychological quality of snipers is beyond ordinary people, but they are also people who will still be very nervous when performing tasks, no matter what kind of training they go through, no matter how tough the psychological quality of snipers is, they can't escape the shackles of being a person after all, so they must always keep their first shot to be able to hit the target directly and accurately, which is why many snipers are used to quitting the first bullet before each shot. Psychology is also a very important point.
It can be said that snipers of this level like the "Night Vulture" can already achieve real shots, and their psychological abilities are already much stronger than ordinary special combat officers, but it is precisely like this, just one mistake will bring them very powerful damage.
This kind of injury is not like a knife and axe breaking bones and bullets into the flesh, this kind of injury comes from the deepest part of the heart, even if it touches the depths of the soul, it may not be an exaggeration.
After returning to the training base of the special operations brigade, we continued to conduct various training and studies as always, and although we were used to this kind of life and could no longer get used to it, the "Night Vulture" changed, or rather, it became less like its original self.
No matter what kind of training it is, the "Night Vulture" is not only going all out, but even hurting, or like self-harm, it is just a venting training, once or twice, but the "Night Vulture" is again and again, and even every time, we know that his self-blame, deep down in his heart, is still blaming himself for his previous mistakes.
"Brothers, we can't let the 'Night Vulture' continue like this, if it continues like this, he will be abolished, and we must find a way to stop him from continuing like this." Watching the "Night Vulture" repeat one action after another over and over again on the training ground, even in the interval between breaks, we all felt sorry for him, so such a suggestion was finally put forward.
"The crux of the 'Night Vulture' is his mistakes, he thinks that through continuous training, continuous training so that he will not make mistakes, so he must know that the last mistake was just an accident, not caused by his ability." One of the team members asked.
In fact, there are many objective and uncertain factors that affect the target of a sniper's shooting target, not only before the sniper pulls the trigger, but even after the bullet has been shot out of the barrel.
The flight trajectory of the bullet will be due to rifling, gravity and the influence of wind, and the magnification and lens quality of the optical sniper scope will also produce shooting errors, and the convertible magnification sniper scope will make this problem worse: the temperature difference and optical deflection can also cause related problems. Therefore, snipers must conduct shooting training at different heights and distances in different weather, temperatures, day and night environments to help understand the performance and errors of firearms and correct them. A sniper can hit a fixed target in a closed environment every time, and it is much worse than a professional sniper, because many times the target is not fixed.
Once the sniper is able to shoot at a static target with the gun in his hand, he or she will begin training to shoot at moving targets. The first key factor in shooting at a moving target is to determine the pre-load), the rate at which the moving target moves will vary depending on the walking, running, or vehicle used, so the amount of pre-load taken will also vary. In fact, depending on the aiming position, the amount of front will be different.
The second key factor in shooting at a moving target is the timing of the shot. Since the target is always moving, the lead may also change due to its stop or acceleration, or even lose the timing of the shot. When to shoot, this requires the sniper to sum up his experience after a long time on the mission. There are many things that can affect the hit rate, and when these factors are ruled out, luck is the only thing that cannot be controlled.
Of course, there are still many other objective factors in addition to this, but as a sniper, it is more important to overcome other objective factors on the premise of overcoming your own psychological factors.
Now, the "Night Vulture" has a problem with his own psychology, which has led to his temporary inability to overcome other factors, such a problem, if not able to be dealt with in time, not only can he not participate in the later tasks normally, but even for himself, it is also a very deep torture.
