Rise from the sword

Chapter 37 Sniper Cao Mantang
On the mountain road, Li Yunlong took Zhang Dabiao, Wang Gensheng, Cao Mantang and other ten people to the independent regiment.

Invited by the old regiment leader, everyone naturally went there with joy. No one hesitated in the slightest. They packed their luggage and set off. Even Cao Mantang, who was originally taciturn, withdrawn and not good at communication, picked up the quilt and set off.

However, he still had some doubts.

"Captain, why are you calling me?"

After hesitating for a long time, he finally asked this question.

Why call him?

He is a veteran, yes, he has been in the army for four years, and coupled with his experience in the grass and snow mountains, few people in the team can match him, which makes him highly qualified in the team now.

But unlike other veterans, his character of being withdrawn and not in the group, and a face that strangers do not enter, are very unpopular, not to mention the officers can't do it, and even in the army, even with his class comrades, there is a gap.

In the past, he was often scolded for destroying team harmony.

The only thing he can do is the pistol.

However, are there still few people with good marksmanship in the new regiment?
Moreover, other people with good marksmanship can teach others to play with guns and bring out apprentices, but he can only carry the gun himself, and even destroy the unity of the team. A good relationship ended in an unhappy breakup.

"Why are you called? Because your motherfucking talent, labor and capital need to use you"

Seeing Cao Mantang's scared and cowardly look, Captain Li scolded directly, with a tone of hatred for iron not becoming steel:
"Why are you so timid, boy?"

"Looking at the entire Xinyi regiment, if you say that your pistol skills are second, no one dares to say that you are the first. Within 200 meters, you can shoot wherever you point. With a light machine gun, devils within 300 meters that can be suppressed dare not move. "

"Who can do it in the whole group?"

"Moreover, your speed of changing magazines is faster than others. It won't work for you to deal with devils while others are changing magazines. Why are you so cowardly?"

These are all true. Born Orion, he has extremely high shooting skills and is recognized as the number one shooting expert in the regiment, but Cao Mantang, who is withdrawn by nature, lowered his head and was scolded for not daring to speak, without the confidence that a top shooter should have. .

"Head up!"

Captain Li Yun looked at Cao Mantang who lowered his head, raised his eyebrows, and ordered loudly in a stern tone.

Cao Mantang was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he raised his head quickly, but he took a few steps back subconsciously, wanting to stay far away. Fortunately, he has been used to the scolding of the head of the regiment for more than a year and controlled it by himself. .

"That poem is right. I was born to be useful. When I chatted with Brother Chen Fan before, he said that your character is very suitable for being a sniper," Li Yunlong began to explain.

Naturally, he had never heard of the term sniper, and the term had not yet emerged during this period. It was only circulated locally. The more popular name was sharpshooter. The title can be described as thunderous.

Naturally, when the two were bragging, Chen Fan casually used it to pretend to show his erudition.

"Your character, your temper, is simply tailored for snipers"

Speaking of this, Li Yunlong's tone was excited.

He is a soldier, a professional soldier who has been on the battlefield for more than ten years. He has an extraordinary war intuition.

Although Chen Fan boasted that he knew little about snipers, Li Yunlong was still keenly aware of the dry goods in the middle, and quickly summed up and extracted the core of snipers.

What is the key core?Concealed super long-range kills.

Strong-willed, adept at concealment, ghosts on the battlefield, hunters who harvest enemy life from a distance, their existence is only proven by the sudden appearance of bullets and dead enemy corpses.

This reminded him of Cao Mantang. Isn't this a natural sniper?
Tough will, good at stealth, and excellent marksmanship.

After walking on the grassy snow-capped mountains, in the environment of lack of clothing and food, and the weather is cold, is it not tough enough to survive alone?As for being good at concealment, this kid is withdrawn by nature. When he is resting, he often hides in the grass and streams in order not to see people, and he stays there for a whole day without even finding a dog. This is good enough at concealment.

The last thing is the marksmanship, so needless to say, it is undisputed that it is the first in the whole regiment, with 200-meter bullets without misses, and 300-meter burst shots are sure to hit.

"Sniper?"

Others beside him questioned.

They were both hearing the word for the first time.

"A sniper is a sharpshooter?" Zhang Dabiao put forward a further understanding.

"Not just a sharpshooter"

Li Yunlong said according to his own understanding:

"Good at hiding and strong shooting ability, neither of these two abilities can be missing, and unlike sharpshooters, snipers do not belong to the company platoon system, but should move freely on the battlefield, freely choose targets, or even a person fight a battle"

"On the battlefield, snipers should hide in the shadows and shoot the enemy's important targets at a long distance, such as devil officers, machine gunners, and grenadier soldiers. They should shoot and kill the enemy's important targets at a very small cost. bullet kills an enemy"

"Even if the enemy is killed, he doesn't know where the person who killed him is!"

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Cao Mantang, who didn't want to change, just wanted to be his own machine gunner, suddenly lit up his eyes and looked at his head, showing obvious interest.

It does not belong to the company roster system, that is, it does not need to be with teammates.One person is free to engage in battlefield activities, freely choose targets, and even fight a battle by himself... These things arouse Cao Mantang's loneliness and quiet heart.

"Isn't this the assassin mentioned in the book?" Zhang Dabiao was stunned.

"Yes, it's an assassin, a modern assassin, a top shooter who can control the battle situation by himself, hides in a key area, kills the enemy suddenly at least 500 meters away, and then leaves quickly without leaving any traces, the devil even kills the enemy I don’t know where”

The more Li Yunlong spoke, the more excited he became. He patted Cao Mantang on the shoulder and encouraged:

"You are a natural sniper, but you still have to go through some training, such as survival in the wild, map interpretation, attack and retreat route arrangements. When you learn these, the devil will be afraid when he hears your name..."

Thanks to the professional terminology leaked during Chen Fan's bragging, and Li Yunlong's active exploration, Captain Li now has quite a few ideas about snipers, and even has some complete theories.

"Yes... Commander" Cao Mantang pursed his lips and nodded heavily.

Although there was no confidence in his tone, there was no doubt that he was happy.

There is no doubt that Cao Mantang has a strong interest in snipers.

"Brother Chen said last time that after a period of time he will specially equip you with a gun, a gun with a scope for snipers, and other equipment used by snipers"

For the special firearms and equipment mentioned by Chen Fan, Captain Li is also looking forward to it.

"A gun just for me? A gun with a telescope?"

Recalling the highly precise Czech style, Cao Mantang's eyes lit up and sparkled.
