As a special force, snipers are naturally necessary.
As for the origin of the title "sniper", a very common theory is that it originated from the British army.
Whether it is Langya or Unity Brigade, shooting is the basic training item. Langya has higher requirements, and the shooting skills must reach at least the level of Li Guang-level snipers. Unity Brigade is slightly inferior, but it must also pass the Yangyouji Level sniper assessment,
"Gomande"'s requirements for team members' shooting skills are similar to those of the Unity Brigade. Every soldier selected individually must be qualified for the position of sniper.
In the competition between snipers, simply shooting targets is not interesting. Angpos, Degu and the British colonel participated. They finally came up with a test method and suggested that both sides shoot live animals.
The distance is two hundred meters away, and the target is a group of hens.
The British captain asked to come first. Five "Gormands" stood in a straight line. Sagemon volunteered to be the bugler. He held a Czech ZB-26 light machine gun and fired at the chickens. The chickens exploded immediately, and at the same time, the timer started,
There was only one minute left. Each of the five "Germans" held a Lee Enfield sniper rifle and started shooting immediately.
"Bahba..." The gunfire sounded, and one hen after another fell to the ground clucking. When the three timekeepers shouted that the time was up at the same time, thirty-seven of the fifty hens fell, and five of them fell to the ground. A total of forty-three bullets were fired from this "Gomande".
After counting the numbers, it was the turn of the teaching group. What made Degu and the British colonel feel shameful was that unlike the "Gomande" who carefully selected the team members, the teaching group actually rushed to get everyone in and even happened. The quarrel broke out, and in the end, Chang Jian had no choice but to use lots to select four other people to participate in the competition with him.
The same process, but the results were completely different. As the three timekeepers shouted that time was up at the same time, all fifty chickens fell down, but Chang Jian and the others actually had six more bullets.
In fact, when Chang Jian and the others fired three bullets each, the experts present had already judged the winner or loser of this shooting competition. It was also shooting, but Chang Jian and the others were more organized, with five Wei Qing assault rifles. A range was drawn, and the hens that tried to run out of the circle were knocked down first. As the circle became smaller and smaller, the situation of two chickens with one shot became very frequent.
After the teaching group finished shooting, the atmosphere at the scene became stiff. The faces of the "Germans" were quite ugly, while the expressions of Degu and the British colonel showed some struggle.
Sagemon hugged the light machine gun and never let go. He noticed the exchange of expressions between the British colonel and captain. He was worried that the British guys would escape and be in danger, or even harm them. He rolled his eyes. , the flat end of the machine gun pointed at the British colonel, and said: "Let's go and see the scene."
Both the British colonel and the "Gomande" captain noticed his little move. The two exchanged glances. The former soothed his expression and said to Degu: "General, let's go and have a look."
The group of people walked towards two hen slaughterhouses. On the way, Sachimon asked Chang Jian calmly: "Captain, can the more than a hundred instructors in the teaching group achieve this design level?"
Chang Jian had been watching the British reaction with a cold eye, and when he saw the question and answer, he said, "Yes."
Sagemon actually meant what he said to the British colonel and captain "German". The two of them were not stupid. After realizing this, they paid special attention to Chang Jian's answer. After hearing the answer, they looked at each other again. His expression gradually returned to calmness,
There were two piles of dead chickens, one pile of thirty-seven and one pile of fifty. A layman watching the excitement and an expert looking at the door. The "Germans" paid attention to the shot parts of the fifty hens. After distinguishing them, they all turned pale. , many people licked their lips subconsciously. Sagemon intended to help the teaching group establish its prestige. He looked at the two piles of dead chickens carefully and said loudly: "Thirty-seven dead chickens on the left, seventeen heads." Four of the chickens were shot through the eyes; fifty on the right, thirty-two were shot in the head, and fifteen chickens were shot through the eyes, wow, this is a good shot."
After he said this, the "Germans" looked a little dazed. As for Degu, he gritted his teeth and shook his head. When he looked at Angpos, his eyes showed confusion.
That night, in an apartment next to the Governor's Palace in Hanoi, Duc Gu and the British colonel gathered together worriedly. The former said: "I didn't expect that a small Chinese warlord would have such a powerful armed force. I had known that. , I won’t come.”
The British colonel smiled bitterly: "General Degu, there is no need to hide some things from you. Jojoan's platoon is the most elite 'Gomande' of the British army in India. Originally, according to the order of Commander-in-Chief Wavell, We will help you regain control of the Indochina Federation at all costs, but now, I think there is no need to continue to implement it."
"What are you talking about? Joan and the others are 'Gomande'."
"Yes, sorry, I didn't inform you in advance."
Degu shook his head and sighed: "It doesn't matter, Clary, I think we can leave tomorrow."
"General, have you decided?"
"Yes, our biggest enemy now is still the Japanese, isn't it? The Chinese and the Japanese are definitely not at odds with each other. In that case, we'd better wait and see."
"Aren't you worried that the Chinese will use Ang Bos and others as cannon fodder?"
"Worried, of course I am worried, but look at it, now not only the senior army officials such as Angpos, Ivan, and Sagemon, but also the soldiers have been bewitched by the Chinese. What's the use of worrying."
"Too,."
"But no matter what, I want to thank General Wavell and your government for their goodwill. Clary, I want to especially thank you my friend. After all, there is a certain danger in heading eastward this time."
"No, no, General, you are too polite. This is what we should do."
The two people were talking politely, and suddenly there was a knocking sound on the window behind Degu. The two were startled. Clary stood up, turned on the safety of the gun, and asked: "Who is it?" .”
"General Deku, I was sent here by the colonial minister of Deku." A man's voice came from the window, speaking in French.
"Rang Duc Gou." Duc Coc exclaimed, and then he whispered to Craley, who looked puzzled: "Rang Duc Cou is the colonial minister of the Royal Government of Vietnam. Let me ask him." He leaned closer to the window and asked: " Do you have any evidence?"
"I brought a letter from the colonial minister Jean Deku." The person outside said softly,
"Put the letter in."
"Okay, please open the window a little."
Degu was about to open the window, but was stopped by Clary. He whispered: "I'll do it." He pushed Degu aside, stood up, and carefully opened the window a little.
