Chapter 386: Disguise
As the sun sets, a cold wind blows on the empty shooting range, and it is still cold in the north in February.
As the last gunshot fell, the four rookies stood up from the ground with their guns bared their teeth.
"Three-kilometer jogging, start now!"
"Turn right, run and go!"
The four of them didn't have time to rest, and they didn't have time to move their somewhat stiff bodies, so they were rushed onto the track by Zhang Yan.
The day's training is over, but for Zhang Yan, it is just the beginning.
Sniper shooting requires a long period of time to maintain a position, and cold weather can make people's joints and muscles stiff and lose flexibility.
Throughout the day's training time, the four rookies will be caught up on the track by Zhang Yan every hour in various ways, and the most basic aerobic exercise can speed up the blood circulation of the rookies and keep their bodies from becoming stiff.
The sound of "bang, bang, bang" sounded, and Zhang Yan didn't need to look to know that his feet were already covered with bullet shells.
At the thought of recovering the shells and warheads, Zhang Yan suddenly smiled helplessly.
The two requirements of "saving resources" and "leaving no traces" are the same meaning, but one is aimed at the whole army, and the other is specifically aimed at snipers.
Three kilometers can only be regarded as a simple warm-up activity for the current rookies, so ten minutes later, the four of them stood in front of Zhang Yan again.
"Recover the shells, warheads and targets, transfer all training equipment to the warehouse, and return weapons and ammunition to the arsenal!"
"Yes!"
……
After dinner, Sun Qingrui did not go back to the health team to study, but chose to stay by Zhang Yan's side.
According to Zhang Yan's plan, the rookies will be simulated during the day, and the evening will be the time for theoretical learning.
In the dormitory of Class 7, Zhang Yan and four rookies sat face to face, and each of them held a book, a notebook and a pen in their hands.
"The Chinese People's Liberation Army Special Forces Sniper Training Textbook" was compiled by the Military Training Department of the General Staff Headquarters, and is suitable for the use of 95 gun families."
"Let me say here that the Type 88 5.8mm sniper rifle belongs to the 95 gun family of products, and we will use this book as the main teaching material during the next training period."
Zhang Yan held a book with a white cover in his right hand, and explained to the four rookies as he spoke.
"During the day's training as a sniper observing targets and shooting moving targets, you have learned the difference between a sniper rifle and an automatic rifle." (This training is actually to shoot on your own after explaining the theory clearly)
"What I'm going to tell you about is another very important lesson for snipers, which is infiltration and camouflage behind enemy lines."
"I think you're no stranger to camouflage, no matter what channels you come from, you can more or less learn some basic camouflage knowledge of snipers, such as gilly suits, camouflage nets, camouflage oil, and so on."
"But what I'm going to tell you is that those are just the most basic camouflage tactics, and there's a lot more to learn to become a qualified special forces sniper."
"Report!"
"Speak."
"Instructor, how do the snipers of the special forces need to be disguised?"
"The sniper camouflage of our special forces, how to say it, our target is the sea of stars!"
"Huh?" As soon as Zhang Yan's voice fell, the four rookies were all dumbfounded.
What the heck?
The sea of stars has a woolen relationship with snipers?
Instructor, do you think we are stupid and easy to be deceived?
The four rookies all looked at Zhang Yan with the eyes of a fool, making Zhang Yan's head full of black lines.
"Instructor, is there a connection between the sniper's disguise and the sea of stars?" Sun Qingrui frowned, and finally asked the question in the hearts of the rookies.
Looking at the eyes of the four rookies looking at him, Zhang Yan said in his heart: "Pretending to be too much," "cough cough", coughing twice, Zhang Yan said: "Why don't you have any imagination at all?" ”
"As a sniper, you have to think logically and think in a leaping way, you know?"
"As a sniper, our battlefield may be anywhere on this earth, any corner, it may be a mountainous area, it may be a desert, it may be a snow-capped mountain, or even the sea, we don't know what our battlefield will be like before every mission, so you have to use your brains and use your imagination."
"As a sniper, at the moment you receive the mission, you must be mentally prepared to accept the worst, and you must have a strong heart, otherwise you will scare yourself to death before you go to the battlefield."
"Poof", Ye Fan suddenly laughed, Zhang Yan closed his mouth for a while, and the eyes of others all fell on Ye Fan.
"I'm sorry, instructor, I just feel like I'm scared myself to death, isn't that a little too much?"
"Which one is too much?"
"It's incredible, what kind of soldier is it to scare yourself to death?"
After listening to Ye Fan's words, Zhang Yan suddenly sneered, and his eyes were full of disdain when he looked at the four rookies.
"Don't forget the scar and forget the pain, there has always been a story of fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter, think about what you did before talking about others."
Zhang Yan's words made Ye Fan stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought, but before he could react, he heard Zhang Yan's order to sit down.
"Alright, let's get on with class!"
"Before I talk about camouflage, let me tell you about the sniper's tactical backpack."
"As we all know, a sniper must carry some equipment for survival behind enemy lines in addition to weapons and ammunition on the battlefield, including combat equipment, life equipment and so on."
"Now turn to page 68 of the book, there are specific contents in it, write it down for yourselves."
"Yes!"
The four rookies all read the book quietly, and after a while, the sound of "rustling" notes sounded in the room, and the rookies began to record important content.
The sniper combat of the special forces has a complex variety of things to carry, and it is divided into two large positions, namely tactical vests and tactical backpacks.
In addition to the weapons, ammunition and communication equipment you carry, there are also some essential items for survival in the wild, as well as food: daggers, small binoculars, compasses, lunch boxes, whistles, insecticides, thermometers, beef jerky, hydration bags, rifle parts, earmuffs, flashlights, mace tear gas, camouflage oil, military flashlights, bandages, chewing gum, pencils, notebooks, and laser rangefinders.
The Tactical Backpack, on the other hand, is used as a supplement for survival in the wild, and contains the following items: scopes, binoculars, knee pads, folding saws, 18×18 tents, lubricating oil, gun wipes, batteries, gloves, small smoke bombs, chemical hand warmers, duct tape, light tripods, tachymeters, canned juice, and food.
If you have a rucksack, you can also pack body armor, tents, mats, large tripods, jungle hats, spare ammunition, camouflage equipment, and more.
The most important thing for a sniper is to protect yourself by camouflage! Kevlar helmet, gilly suit, gas mask, sleeping bag, camouflage net, camera, video camera, night vision goggles, and telephoto lens.
