Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Duo of Bullying Orphans and Widows
With Chris's teachings, Chen Ming's daily life began to be full.
When you come back from work, take a shower. Bring your own wooden target, find a random open space outside the barracks, and you can practice guns at will. Anyway, there is no shortage of 7.62*51mm NATO shells in the Bald Eagle army. The amount of ammunition consumed in wartime is a huge number every day, and this bullet that Chen Ming practiced his gun was simply drizzle.
"It was a good game, three consecutive hits in 600-meter low visual conditions."
Chris patted Chen Ming's shoulder, who was lying on the ground, and signaled that he could go back.
Chen Ming walked to the front, resisted the wooden target, and walked back with Chris.
"Chen, how does it feel to use this TAC-338?"
"It's really great, it feels much easier to use than the 700 series. This trigger is comfortable. ”
Chen Ming replied to Chris's words with some excitement.
When he started teaching Chen Ming to snipe, Chris took Chen Ming to try every sniper rifle in the barracks warehouse, and asked him to pick out the one he was most comfortable with. And Chen Ming chose the TAC-338 not to be consistent with Chris, but to really give him the best feeling of this gun.
"That's it, I'll take you to the logistics officer tomorrow and buy this gun. And what I'm going to tell you is that you need to buy a little more barrel. ”
Chris lifted the strap on his shoulder and continued.
"Even if your purpose is not to be a sniper, after the experiment a few days ago, you should feel it. Every sniper rifle is not different, so a real sniper, or precision shooter, uses only one gun. ”
"Sniper rifles generally do not break. But the wear and tear of the barrel cannot be avoided, you know that the barrel has a service life, and the most accurate time for a barrel is when it is young. So from now on, you can warm up these barrels. When your level goes up, it's time for the highest precision. ”
"Prepare some more screws. Occasionally, screws will become loose or rusty on the rifle, but this is a good fix. ”
Chen Ming nodded gratefully. I never felt this way before I didn't fight a high-precision sniper, but after actually fighting. Different sniper rifles have different trigger diameters, and the firing feel of the low-force trigger and the general trigger is also different, and so on will be very obvious.
Chen Ming thinks that he is not talented in precision shooting, so he must pay attention to these details and do a good job.
More than 20 days have passed since Chen Ming came to the front line of Yilako. Once again, the front line advanced to Fallujah, where the fighting began to rage.
"A woman and a child were found!"
"Two hundred yards, moving towards the army!"
Chen Ming was lying on a small balcony and saw with his telescope that a door on the side of the street in the distance was suddenly opened. A woman in a black smock and a little boy came out of it, and immediately reported in the headset.
Then, put down the binoculars and set up your own M14EBR. Chris was next to him and likewise turned his gun at the woman in the distance.
The high-precision sniper TAC-338 Chen Ming has already gotten it, but the sniper skills are not yet at home. With the addition of a sniper team, there can be no one responsible for guarding and providing fire cover, so they simply do not bring it with them every time they go to work. I only play sniping as a hobby.
"The arm is not swinging, there is something in her arms!"
After more than ten days of attendance with Chris, Chen Ming's report became more and more mature. Seeing the target's walking posture, Chen Ming immediately became alert.
Chris heard the sound in his ears and hurriedly corrected and fine-tuned the sights.
"RPK grenade, give it to the child! Stay safe! ”
Seeing the woman in black take out a brass-colored anti-tank grenade from her arms, Chen Ming immediately locked the sight on the woman in black while reporting.
It's his responsibility, the primary threat target, and he trusts Chris to target him as soon as possible. Even though he was just a child, from the moment he took the grenade, he became a high-threat enemy.
"Did you see that? Is shooting approved? ”
Chen Ming heard the sound in the headphones and adjusted his breathing slightly. In this sniper group, there is no doubt that Chris has the right to fire first. Hearing Chris's question, Chen Ming knew that he was about to fire his first shot on the battlefield.
"No! You know the rules of engagement. ”
Hearing the reply of the commander of the ground forces in the headset, Chen Ming's mentality collapsed instantly. Why did we cover you up with us, but we found out that the threat didn't let you open fire?
"You decide!"
As if aware of a problem with his reply, the commander immediately added.
Chen Ming secretly complained about this unresponsible commander, and hurriedly adjusted his breathing that was a little disordered just now. There are priorities, and now is not the time to curse.
On the ground, the kid in brown was holding a grenade and had begun to run at an accelerated pace. And Chen Ming's target, the woman in black, was standing in place.
His crosshair had been staring at the woman, and the child had disappeared from his scope.
A moment later, there was a muffled "poof" sound in my ears. Chris shot!
In Chen Ming's scope, the expression of the woman in black became distorted the moment she saw the child fall to the ground, and tears burst out of her eyes. But in an instant, she became determined, and she began to run.
"Don't pick up grenades!"
Chen Ming secretly prayed in his heart, but reason told him that this woman would definitely pick up the grenade on the ground. According to the rules of engagement, he could not shoot civilians who were not threatening, especially women and children.
But if her hand touches a grenade, she'll immediately become the highest threat target of the moment. At that time, Chen Ming will have to shoot.
"Poof, poof, poof~"
Chen Ming's gun went off. The first shot hit the woman's shoulder, and the strong kinetic energy pushed the woman's body backwards. Before it could hit the ground, a second bullet hit the woman's chest one after another. A third bullet flew over the woman's already fallen body and smashed into the ground, stirring up a small cloud of dust.
The dust has settled.
"Shoot beautifully, wise decision!"
Chen Ming heard the sound of praise coming from the headset, and still maintained his original posture unchanged. The same goes for Chris.
It was their debut, their first shot on the battlefield and certainly the first killing. It's just that they never thought that the enemies they killed for the first time would be women and children.
Fortunately, there was calm in the back. On the way back to the dormitory, Chen Ming did not speak as easily as he did after a day's work in the past.
From hearing the news of the war in Pensacola and from standing up to join the front line at the Basra base, he had imagined countless times in his mind that he would be the first to kill on the battlefield.
I just never dreamed that this first kill would come so suddenly and so heavily.
Chris is much older than Chen Ming, and he walked out faster than Chen Ming. patted Chen Ming on the shoulder and pushed open the door of the dormitory.
"Hey, I heard you shot today?"
