"Yo! It's okay for you, the new recruit! I've fired more than a dozen shots. Can you tell me how many Japs you've killed?"
A veteran with several holes in his uniform, his face blackened by smoke, and half a cigarette in his mouth came over and joked.
"Young recruits, don't be cowardly. Tell me a number to open the eyes of old Zhou. I can't stand his stupid behavior of not allowing others to do it even if he can't do it himself."
The other veteran seemed to be helping Niu Er, but the teasing in his words was obvious.
"Yes, you can name as many as you want, no one can see them anyway, haha!"
Several veterans laughed while teasing Niu Er.
He didn't have much ill intentions, but his contempt for Niu Er was clearly evident.
Days of fighting have kept the soldiers' nerves tense, and there are not many ways to soothe them.
Veterans teasing new recruits and watching them look red-faced and helpless is actually one of the ways veterans can relax themselves.
Seniority is valued in the military. In some warlord armies, there are countless cases where veterans bully new recruits and make new recruits throw water at their feet. Now this level of ridicule can definitely be considered very humane.
This means that Tang Dao is here. If Tang Dao is not there, the poisonous words of some veterans may have caused harm to the new recruit Danzi Niu Er who seems a bit different at the moment.
Niu Er's face turned red, but the eighteen-year-old young man seemed to have matured a lot after experiencing last night's battlefield. Although the blood vessels on his neck suddenly thickened with anger, he could not hold back.
Turning back, his eyes were still fixed on the crosshair.
He always remembered what Tang Dao told him: "As a sniper, before you kill your enemy, you are just a stone in your lurking point. Until the target appears and you pull the trigger."
Looking at Niu Er's reaction from the corner of his eye, Tang Dao showed a satisfied look in his eyes.
In Tang Dao's eyes, apart from the two commanders, the more than 400 officers and soldiers in Sihang Warehouse are all elite in terms of technology, tactics and combat will, but not many can be called outstanding. Perhaps Lei Xiong
Can be considered one.
To describe that guy in future terms: God will reward him with food, he just has the talent to become a soldier. If he were put into the future to train for five or six years, even Tang Dao would not dare to say that he would win.
However, there are still only a few who have the potential to become outstanding.
Yang Xiaoshan and Niu Er are two of them.
Veterans like Lao Youzi and Lao Hei may be much better than the two recruits now, but their talent has limited their ceiling. Unless a miracle occurs, they cannot make much progress.
Yang Xiaoshan has a flexible mind, a strong body, a tough and enthusiastic personality, and has enough team spirit in his bones. Needless to say, he is an excellent candidate for comrade-in-arms. Niu Er, a cannon fodder recruit recruited from the Hubei Security Corps, also gave Tang Dao a great surprise.
.
This little guy who used to be frightened to death by a single charge from the Japanese army overcame his own psychological barriers at the cost of the lives of two brave Japanese soldiers. Not only did he actually have almost the same 'flaws' as he did in that time and space.
Because of that defect, Tang Dao was judged to be physically unqualified by the hospital where he was recruited into the army. If his father's old comrades had not gone through the back door, Tang Dao would have almost never had the chance to step into the green military camp.
Tang Dao's eyesight was uneven. His right eye was 1.5, but his left eye was only 0.5. However, no one expected that this person who was judged by the medical examiner as unable to serve as a soldier would become a soldier in the Mobei Military Region ten years later.
The king of individual soldiers and the king of snipers.
Tang Dao once sniped a mob leader from a distance of 500 meters and shot him in the head with one shot!
This kind of distance is nothing to many ace snipers. The longest recorded distance even exceeds 2,000 meters. Even ordinary snipers start at more than 800 meters.
But in fact, Tang Dao, who was lurking in the Gobi Desert, only had an old 56-and-a-half shot stolen from a gangster, no scope, and no modern tools for measuring wind and temperature.
He relies solely on his naked eyes and crosshair, sensing the wind speed by sensing the falling distance of the withered grass he throws, and sensing the temperature and humidity by relying on his own skin. He can kill the enemy with one shot at an effective range of more than 100 meters!
That was a completely mythical sniping case. Countless people imitated it, but never surpassed it.
The main reason for all this is naturally due to the hard training of Tang Dao, but the defect of extremely uneven eyesight turned out to be the main factor.
Some people may think that a sniper turns a blind eye when aiming and shooting. Maintaining 1.5 vision in the right eye is completely sufficient, especially with the assistance of a scope.
In fact, these are all wrong perceptions.
If one eye is closed and it is suddenly opened, the vision will be blurred. At this time, if there are enemies around, it will be extremely fatal.
All snipers look at the scope with one eye and observe the surroundings with the other eye.
While Tang Dao was undergoing such training, he accidentally discovered that his right eye could see much further than usual, and targets 400 meters away could be clearly seen.
After countless quiet comparisons with his comrades, Tang Dao finally determined that once he enters the sniper state of aiming with one glance and observing the surroundings, his uneven eyesight turns into a wonderful vision amplifier. His sight distance is 150 meters longer than that of ordinary people.
rice.
With a scope, it becomes even more powerful.
Niu Er had this unique 'flaw' that Tang Dao once had. His right eye was normal, but his left eye actually had glaucoma. He could hardly see at night and only had 0.3 visual acuity at most during the day. This was something Tang Dao soon learned about at night.
I was pleasantly surprised by the results I got after testing him on a homemade vision board.
That also means that he also has the talent to become a super sniper, especially in this era without scopes. The sight range of more than 150 meters of ordinary people means that he can prioritize his opponents and pull the trigger of death when they are 150 meters away.
trigger.
Just having talent is not enough. What makes Tang Dao even more delighted is that this young man who has just broken through his psychological barrier is actually not a beginner in shooting. Before he was recruited to join the army, he was a young man in the Dabie Mountains.
As a hunter, he has been using shotguns and bows since he was a child.
After getting acquainted with Tang Dao, the platoon leader, last night, Niu Er recalled his harvest with a bit of shyness and pride. Tigers, wild boars, black bears, and wild wolves were all his prey. There was even a tiger skin that had no bullet hole.
It is valued at over 200 oceans.
However, this windfall did not reach Niu Eryi, and was eventually taken away by the county magistrate, who gave Niu Er 10 yuan of hard-earned money, but that also allowed Niu Eryi and his family to live happily for a year.
Some of the legendary experiences made several veterans scream. If they hadn't known that this kid was introverted and didn't talk much, they would have thought he was bragging.
You must know that it is extremely difficult to hit a tiger that can run at more than ten meters per second, but if you want to leave no hole for the gun, you must hit the eye of the tiger to achieve that effect, especially with a shotgun that has a range of only 80 meters.
With that kind of marksmanship, how come you were so scared that you peed your pants even on the battlefield?
The veterans didn't believe it, but Tang Dao believed it. Aside from Niu Er's own shooting talent in terms of eyesight, his case was not unique.
More than ten years later, on the icy and snowy battlefield in northern China, a great sniper with a background like Niu Er also appeared.
Because he had the background of being an Orion, the master sniper spent 32 days on that extremely cruel battlefield, firing a total of 436 bullets with a Mosingana rifle and killing 214 enemies.
Because of his existence, the high ground where he was located was called the "Highland of Death" by his opponents who were armed to the teeth!
Therefore, Tang Dao simply took advantage of this early morning opportunity for the Army Lieutenant Colonel to conduct tactical deception to conduct special training for the two young men he was most optimistic about, and by the way, he also took a look at Niu Er's real shooting level.
After all, he is not a rookie who just dropped the shotgun and picked up a medium-sized rifle. He has been handling medium-sized rifles for more than ten days, right?
No, through the observation just now, after more than a dozen shots, Tang Dao already had a clue in his mind.
The distance of 400 meters may be too far for the current Yang Xiaoshan, but for the talented and well-founded Niu Er, it is really not as far away as the veterans imagined.
What's more, the Japanese army also had a forward team that broke into a distance of about 350 meters. They were now in a dilemma!
"What are you talking about?" A lieutenant with a leopard head and ringed eyes came down the stairs and shouted at a few veterans who were gathered together, smoking cigarettes and teasing the new recruits.
Looking at Tang Dao who turned around, he said with a dark face: "What does it have to do with the training of new recruits by the third platoon leader? Get out of here, get out of here, get out of here."
The visitor was Leng Feng, the company deputy and platoon leader. Tang Dao sighed slightly in his heart. No wonder those veterans dared to tease Niu Er in front of him. I'm afraid they were trying to vent their anger on his superior!
Think about it! As the deputy company commander and platoon leader of the main company, he didn't even get his turn to attend the military meeting. However, Tang Dao, a newcomer, got this honor when he arrived. Who can't be a little angry?
Not to mention, after leaving the warehouse to ambush the Japanese army, Shangguan Yun did not use his first platoon but used Tang Dao's third platoon.
Yes, Tang Dao's personal ability is strong, but we can't say that he is strong alone. Let's let the three platoons suppress one platoon! Lieutenant Leng Feng, who is used to me being the sharp knife, and the entire platoon have naturally become the group that is most unhappy with Tang Dao.
people.
This is an inevitable psychological fluctuation. Each army has its own underlying rules, and Tang Dao is the one who breaks the rules.
Unless Tang Dao is willing to do it step by step and let everyone admit it bit by bit.
But obviously, on such a battlefield, Tang Dao would not have that time.
In this case, it must be strong enough, strong enough to make the enemy despair, strong enough to be completely convinced by one's own people.
So, looking at the lieutenant striding over, Tang Dao grinned and threw the binoculars to Leng Feng: "Lieutenant Leng, how about we make a bet?"
