Chapter 111: Advanced Marksmanship

Shen Chen was really teaching and teaching hand-in-hand this time, carefully checking the posture of each team member, correcting it carefully, and even taking the trouble to explain it, so that the team members could understand the meaning of doing so.

"Triggering the trigger is the final procedure of firing, and it is also a very critical step, which seems simple, but it directly affects the accuracy of shooting......"

Shen Chen convened the team members again and demonstrated and explained in person.

"To be precise, it is not a hooking machine, or a buckle machine, but a gentle pull, so that this action does not affect the stability of the gun body as much as possible. As I said earlier, if the muzzle of the gun is one point away, it will deviate by ten points from a distance of 100 meters. You're already holding the gun very steady, but you can't get the gun in this last moment, and you still can't hit. ”

Shen Chen picked up the gun, clasped the plate machine in his hand, slowly pulled it back, felt the resistance, paused for a moment, and then continued to exert force, and the gun made a hollow sound.

"Similarly, the factors that affect the stability of the gun body are breathing and heartbeat. That's why I ask to hold your breath while shooting and try to keep your heart rate calm. ”

Shen Chen picked up the gun again, deliberately panting, so that the team members could see the trembling of the gun.

"The heartbeat can also be controlled, and deep breathing is one way to do it. Like this, inhale for five to eight seconds, hold for three to five seconds, and then exhale slowly for another five to eight seconds. Doing this repeatedly will slow down your heartbeat. ”

Shen Chen slowly took a deep breath, and then reminded the team members, "When you do it, you can count it silently in your heart to calculate the time." It doesn't require a lot of precision, and it's okay to have a little error. ”

"I've pretty much talked about the essentials of shooting, and it's up to you in the future. Without the perseverance and spirit of hard work, no matter how good the experience and methods are, they are useless. In half a month, I am going to conduct a major test, hold a big contest in the guerrillas, select members with excellent shooting skills, and then conduct advanced studies to strive for a few more sharpshooters. ”

After Shen Chen finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou, not knowing if he would get the consent and approval of these two if he made a claim.

Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou glanced at each other, and nodded with a smile.

Lao Zhou stepped forward and said loudly: "In the future, our guerrillas will form a routine to hold a martial arts competition every half a month, and those with excellent results will be rewarded, and the titles of first-class shooter and second-class shooter will be awarded. ”

This guy is quite good at agitation and motivation!

Shen Chen grinned, admiring Lao Zhou's on-the-spot performance.

At that time, people were simple and honest, and they were so happy to be rewarded with a bar of soap or a packet of tooth powder, not to mention that there was a title that could make people look high.

And Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie also appreciated Shen Chen's regular competition, there was no competition, no superiority, how could they stimulate self-motivation? Where does the motivation come from?

"Instructor, what kind of title am I?" Shen Chen deliberately teased Lao Zhou and asked, "What reward should I give?" ”

Lao Zhou blinked, laughed, and said, "Rewarding you with a bowl of meat for dinner, it's generous enough, right?" ”

Shen Chen pursed his lips to express his disdain, and the team members let out a soft laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly became active again.

……………

As the saying goes: the master leads the door, and the practice is in the individual.

The meaning of this sentence is very clear, with a good teacher, you have to rely on your own hard work. If you are a lazy person, no matter how good the master is, you will not achieve anything.

Shen Chen's careful teaching, the newly introduced incentive mechanism, and the eagerness to kill the enemy and protect the family made the guerrillas present a gratifying situation of hard training in shooting skills.

In addition to eating and resting, and other aspects of training, the team members spend almost all of their free time practicing guns and aiming.

Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou also reported the guerrillas' recent training and incentive measures to the district, and the district committee discussed and studied them, and began to promote them to the militia, and initially scheduled to hold a review of the militia in the whole district one month later.

In order to improve the fighting quality of the militia, the district committee also asked the guerrillas to send members with better skills and tactics to train the militia in various villages.

At the same time, the district committee also transferred the backbone militia cadres from various villages to study in the guerrillas.

In order to carry out the instructions of the district committee, the guerrillas offered three subjects: mines, shooting, and tactical maneuvers, and conducted short-term training for the backbone militia cadres who came to study.

In fact, for the militia, Shen Chen feels that the training of landmines is the most important. The others are not to be ignored or dealt with, but they do not need to be too deep, too detailed, and too demanding.

The guerrillas are not yet able to confront the enemy head-on, let alone the militia, which is a level lower?

Landmines, on the other hand, are not only planted in a variety of ways, but they are also easy to master, and they are also relatively convenient and safe to use.

It's just that it's impossible for Shen Chen to be lazy this time, Wei Chun'er, who is diligent and inquisitive, and a chrysanthemum, stuck to him.

There are many militia backbones who come to study, but there are only three or four women, and the only ones who are familiar with Shen Chen are Juzi and Wei Chun'er.

In order to show their welcome to the female militia, the two girls offered to live with Shen Chen, Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie immediately nodded and agreed, and asked Shen Chen to take care of it.

This is good, but Shen Chen, who is in charge of teaching the militia backbone shooting skills, is very busy. During the day, he had to guide and supervise the shooting training of the guerrillas and militia, and in his free time, he had to be pestered by two girls to teach this and that.

Fortunately, it's only the first few days, and the two girls just don't have much culture, but their heads are not stupid. Shen Chen was a one-on-two professor again, Ju Zi and Wei Chun'er quickly mastered the essentials and tricks of shooting, and the rest was just hard practice.

In fact, from the perspective of psychological quality, women are not much worse than men when they want to become snipers. On the contrary, if you overcome your fear and overcome the psychological barrier of killing, you will be more calm than men.

And Ju Zi and Wei Chun'er saw Shen Chen's accurate marksmanship, and after learning the experience and essentials, they seemed to be enchanted.

"If you have a gun, you can aim at the fire, don't burn the rice." Shen Chen smiled bitterly and stroked his forehead, but Wei Chun'er just glanced at the stove fire, and continued to aim at the circle on the wall with the burning stick in his hand.

Juzi was even more excessive, the gun was not loaded, but she saw who was aiming, and she didn't let go of it when she walked by.

"It's rude and it's not safe." Shen Chen reluctantly took a piece of carbon black and drew circles on the courtyard wall.

As the saying goes: the fist does not leave the hand, and the song does not leave the mouth.

After just a few days, Shen Chen obviously felt the progress of these two girls.

Especially Wei Chun'er, who has hunting experience, is more calm and patient. And this is one of the qualities that a sniper should have.

"Damei, I heard from the guerrillas that after a while, we will have to conduct an assessment and test, and those with excellent shooting scores will have to study at an advanced level?" Wei Chun'er was indeed fascinated by guns and shooting, and was not satisfied with what she had learned now.

Shen Chen nodded and said, "Yes, your study time seems to be coming soon, maybe you can't wait, right?" ”

"Then you teach us now!" Juzi leaned over, put his arm around Shen Chen's shoulder, and said, "We have learned, so let's go home and practice hard, and we don't have to wait until we learn with everyone!" ”

"That's itβ€”" Shen Chen tilted his head in thought with some hesitation.

"That's it." Wei Chun'er was happy, and before Shen Chen could agree, she made an assertion, and reached out to hold Shen Chen's face, smiling and touching it like a child, "When there is something delicious, I will definitely bring it to you." ”

Shen Chen rolled his eyes, his reputation for being greedy was so widespread, he used this to coax himself?

"Hunting game, I'll smoke it and let Erdan bring it to you." Juzi did the same, and quickly added a bribery offensive.

Shen Chen laughed helplessly twice and said, "Okay, then let's go outside and see if there is any wind." ”

Is there any wind? Ju Zi and Wei Chun'er glanced at each other, both showing confused expressions, but they didn't say much, and followed Shen Chen to the courtyard.

It's really windy! Shen Chen gave it a brief try and felt that he could explain. But after thinking about it, I thought that instead of telling two people, it would be better to summon everyone, and it would save trouble in the future.

Although the selection has not yet taken place, you can know more about shooting, even if the shooting skills are not good, there is only a benefit.

Thinking of this, Shen Chen looked at his watch, the training of the guerrillas outside the village had not yet ended, and it was just right to rush over.

When they arrived at the training ground outside the village, the guerrillas had just finished their assassination training, and the instructor invited from the main force was still giving a summary speech in front of the team.

For the assassination training, Shen Chen was allowed not to participate. In addition to him, there are also Yang Ye and others, but Yang Ye and the others refuse to accept such preferential treatment.

Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou listened to Shen Chen's explanation, and felt that it was not dark yet, and it was not impossible to make up for a shooting skill improvement class.

After the assassination coach finished speaking, Zhao Tie came to the team, said a few words, and Shen Chen walked over.

In order to pursue long-distance shooting accuracy, to reach a level close to that of a sniper, it is necessary to consider the influence of external factors such as wind speed, wind direction, and air pressure on the trajectory.

For example, if you shoot at an enemy 200 meters away, if you encounter a strong wind blowing from the side, if you don't make corrections, you may get bullets out and you won't even be able to get your hair on them.

If the wind is not so strong under the same conditions, such as three or four winds, then you can barely hit the arm at this distance if you aim at the heart.

Therefore, if you can shoot at a target of 200 meters in windless conditions, you must carry out the advanced learning that Shen Chen said before.

The air pressure and temperature are too high and deep, and Shen Chen is not ready to talk about it; As for the wind speed and direction, he is ready to use his experience to solidify the data, even if others can't reach his level, but it is still very good for improving accuracy and hit rate.

Fixing the wind bias while shooting is actually a complex problem, not only memorizing a lot of data, but also doing calculations because you have to consider factors such as wind force, wind direction and distance at the same time.

Therefore, simplifying complex knowledge and fixing data as much as possible is also Shen Chen's helpless choice.

Everyone's cultural level is there, not to mention the technical terms, it is simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and many people don't know.

Shen Chen has also been preparing these days, preparing in his mind, how to make the words understandable to everyone, or most people can understand.

"I said before that I would do advanced shooting after the assessment, but now it seems that there is no harm to teaching in advance. Of course, if you can hit a target from 200 meters away, it's better to start learning. Shen Chen took a humanoid target, stuck it on the ground, tied a strip of cloth to it, and began an advanced explanation.

Generally speaking, the wind direction is positive and oblique wind, as well as upwind and downwind.

Headwinds and downwinds do not cause lateral wind deflection, but only affect the height and level, and have little effect on the rifle in the effective range, and can be largely ignored if it is aimed at the torso.

But if the wind is blowing not from the positive side but from the oblique side, you have to correct it.

For example, a chest target 200 meters away needs to be corrected by about 12.5 millimeters. This millimeter is not easy to estimate and calculate, so Shen Chen changed the target to a quarter of the target to the left.

If you change to a strong wind on the left, you need to multiply two (25 mm), that is, you need to correct the target position half to the left, that is, aim at the left edge of the target.

But how do you estimate the speed and direction of the wind? In the absence of a scope, without professional measuring tools, only a few common objects or indicators can be used.

For example, flags, smoke, trees, grass, raindrops, and your own feelings, the most common way to do this is to use flags.

Professional snipers will use the angle formed by the flag and the flagpole when there is a flag to observe, and then divide the angle by a constant in order to get the wind speed.

If there is no banner to observe, the Sniper can take a piece of paper, grass, cotton, or other light object and let go. Then point to the landing point of the object, divide the angle between the arm and the body by the constant, and the answer is more accurate.

Shen Chen omitted the multiplication constant, which was based on his own experience, and determined the three levels of wind speed and direction, as well as how to observe and determine, to tell the team members how to correct the aiming point.

It's much simpler to say in this way, and although it's not very precise, it's better to correct than not to correct. There are only so many situations, rote memorization, as long as you have the heart, as long as you spend a little time, you can always master it.

To put it in more detail, if the team members can reach a firing distance of 200 meters, there will only be left and right crosswinds when considering the wind direction.

The crosswind is divided into light wind (negligible), half-speed wind (correcting the target position of the quarter), and full-speed wind (shooting at the edge of the target).

Then there is the skill of observation and the basis of judgment, Shen Chen used a strip of cloth, a piece of paper and a straw to make a demonstration.

"In fact, observing the wind speed and direction is more dependent on personal experience, and it is the same as measuring the distance." Shen Chen said: "Only by practicing more often, can you judge more and more accurately and faster." ”

As he spoke, he took off his hat and turned his head gently and slowly, squinting slightly.

When everyone didn't know why, Shen Chen stopped moving, smiled, and said, "This is the method I figured out, I used to be more sensitive when my hair was long." Now, you can judge the speed and direction of the wind by listening to the sound of the wind with your ears and the feeling of blowing on your face. ”

Juzi curiously learned to do it again, and muttered dejectedly: "That's because you are thin-skinned, I blow the wind every day, and it's spring, so I can't feel it." ”
