"Chairman, big brother!" Xiaohu couldn't control his emotions all of a sudden, hugged the Supreme Treasure and shed tears excitedly. Supreme Treasure patted him on the back, and the silent comfort at this moment was the best comfort for him.

The bell must be tied to the bell, and now in such a situation, Xiaohu can't train in the dark, so he can't overcome the psychological level, which will only force him to the point that he can't even train well during the day. Supreme Treasure promised Xiaohu to help him find his father, although the hope seemed slim, I don't know if Xiaohu's father was among the soldiers or had already died on the battlefield. So this time, Supreme Treasure liberated Henan, and was ready to take Xiaohu with him, and help him find his father while conducting sniper training.

After calming down, Supreme Treasure's training for Xiaohu to become a sniper officially began in the next few days.

The development of snipers began at the same time as the invention of optical instruments in the early 17th century, but the development of tactical sniper technology did not emerge for two full centuries due to the slow development of firearms technology. It wasn't until the American War of Independence that a Major Sharp of the American Volunteer Army led a team of independent, highly mobile gunners to shoot and kill many senior British officers with long-range precision sniping that was inconceivable at the time, and saved the situation of a battle many times and at a small cost.

In order to aim close to the cheeks for a long time and prevent distraction caused by the field environment, Sharp shooters often wore masks similar to those worn by today's special forces when conducting sniper missions, so there was a new name literally translated as "masked man", which also refers to marksmanship or accurate shooting in English, and these two words are replaced by "sniper" today. During the Civil War, a general recruited a special team to explain the essentials of shooting and sniping, which can be regarded as the origin of the official training of snipers in the Chinese army.

Next is the sniper's mission, the sniper's mission is divided according to the nature, there are designated hunting, team observation, fire support, patrol hunting, non-hard equipment destruction and targeted killing.

There are also different classifications of the nature of the various tasks. In ancient times, there were three suitable tasks, the first designated hunting, that is, the target designated by the superior to be sniped by all means to end even if the task was completed, the sniper sniped the target no matter what method it was, long-range sniping with a rifle is only one method, crossbow, hunting bow, blow arrow, crossbow arrow, throwing knife and even hand-to-hand combat, fighting, knives, strangulation or poisoning, long-distance hunting with a rifle sniper in a camouflage suit is just a wrong impression of snipers by ordinary people, However, long-range sniping away from the target is still the choice of most snipers in military missions, and most training is also carried out in this direction, so only firearm sniping is introduced here.

There are many ways to carry out designated hunting, the longer method is to sneak the sniper to the base where the target is located or the road that is expected to pass through the way of ambush sniping, and because the range of modern rifles is almost more than 1,000 meters, the selection of location, shooting and retreat route are often the key to the success or failure of the mission, so the first exploration and location selection of the target area of the mission is quite important. In modern times, satellite reconnaissance can illuminate every corner of the earth, but in ancient times, there were many dense forests and valleys with towering trees, and the first-hand information of personnel reconnaissance was the most reliable, and most snipers would rather reconnoiter on their own than rely on advanced satellite technology.

The assigned hunt can be performed by one person, or it can be used in teams of two, where one person observes and one snipes, or two people snipe at the same time, or if the main shooter fails, the secondary shooter must also have first-class marksmanship and be ready to aim and shoot at all times.

The second team observation and fire support, in the modern army, snipers are grass-roots combat units at the squad and platoon levels. When a squad is on a combat patrol mission and encounters enemy long-range fire (perhaps heavy artillery, mortars, heavy machine guns, or enemy snipers) and is unable to call fire support, the snipers accompanying the squad must immediately carry out the task of observing enemy fire and immediately enter a favorable firing position to kill the most threatening enemy with a sniper rifle, and snipe the enemy personnel one by one, while the small unit takes advantage of the fact that the enemy is being sniped and everyone is too busy to take care of themselves. A rifle can exert the same effect as the fire support of long-range artillery, which is called patrol observation and fire support.

However, this is only part of the observation mission, and the most important task of the sniper is to see if the location of the mission team is too vulnerable to sniping from the perspective and vision of the sniper, and to check every corner where the sniper may be hiding from the sniper. In addition, the sniper is also an expert in route selection and escape, in addition to providing fire support when ambushed, the sniper with the team must also provide the squad commander with the best retreat route advice and provide fire support and cover throughout the process, if necessary, the sniper will act alone to the area to carry out sniper missions, forcing the enemy to suspend the firepower of the pursuit team, giving the squad the maximum space, and then the sniper will go to the rendezvous point or complete the designated task by himself according to the prior agreement, And most snipers due to long-term eye training and attention training.

The task of the sniper also includes recording the position of each possible lurking place and enemy position in peacetime, and observing, recording, judging and simulating the possible situation around the position, once the situation changes, it can immediately enter the situation, and can also provide intelligence for the field commander to analyze and judge, so the sniper also shoulders the work of the intelligence officer, but no matter what the situation, the sniper always looks at the world with his professional vision, and at the same time judges the change of the situation from a professional perspective. It is always the authoritative channel for commanders to understand intelligence, because only snipers can understand and know what snipers think and do, and only then can they know how to prevent and detect.

In order to ensure that the situation is favorable to us, hunting and killing the enemy's important and key personnel is a bottom-up strategy, and due to limited intelligence, the assignment of mission objectives will cause trouble, so free hunting in a designated area has become an effective combat mode, and hunting in a designated area with a sniper team will often suffer inexplicable miraculous results. However, due to the fact that the situation often changes beyond the expected, the patrol and hunting mission is often carried out for a short time, limited to two weeks at most, in case there is a gap between the implementation of the mission and the development of the situation.
