Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 143 The Four Rules of "Vivor's Gun Handling Method" (6000-word chapter, please subscribe)

In the morning, we teach cultural classes in the multimedia classroom, imparting various knowledge points about CQB to the trainees. In the afternoon, we go outdoors for tactical practice classes, transforming knowledge points into skills.

This is the teaching plan devised by Jackie Chan!

CQB (Competitive Quality Battle) is centered on team-based collaborative combat, and most operations take place in silent environments, which inevitably leads to a great deal of tactical communication.

It's definitely impossible to finish teaching in just one or two days, and Jackie Chan isn't in a hurry to finish teaching so quickly.

The construction of the killing house and the tactical field will conservatively take a month, which is enough time for Jackie Chan to teach all the tactical language before the practical classes begin.

Since the venue isn't ready yet, where will we hold the practical training session this afternoon?

The students were very confused!

Jackie Chan's mind is full of various special operations skills, and he has already made plans. The lack of a venue is a minor problem for him and can not stump him at all.

Before CQB officially begins team-based practice, there are actually many individual projects.

The CQB tactical language lesson taught this morning was actually one of the individual projects.

Beyond tactical language.

There is also a series of features exclusive to CQB, including but not limited to tactical maneuvers, movement methods and positioning, tactical demolitions and breaching, special body shapes and footwork, and various shooting techniques.

There are dozens of CQB auxiliary techniques that every team member needs to learn.

Strictly speaking, CQB is actually just a general term encompassing a wide range of technologies.

Subsequent collaborative operations by the core team are just one aspect of this technology.

Only by mastering all kinds of technologies, large and small, that are applicable to CQB or designed specifically for CQB can one succeed.

Only then can they unleash a formidable fighting force that is hard for ordinary people to imagine in combat within confined indoor terrain.

Over the next three months, Jackie Chan will teach all the CQB techniques to the members of the Ace of Spades team, step by step.

This afternoon's first outdoor lesson, Jackie Chan is going to teach shooting techniques applicable to CQB.

A gun is a soldier's second life on the battlefield. Whether a soldier can handle a gun well is related to his combat effectiveness and is directly linked to his life.

As a crucial point in CQB, Jackie Chan must give sufficient attention to CQB tactical shooting.

The afternoon outdoor practical training session was held at a pistol shooting range.

Jackie Chan appointed Wu Zhe as the leader of the reserve team, leading the team to prepare the targets for training and to apply for live ammunition from the armory for preparation.

After the tactical language class that morning, Wu Zhe saw a whole new world.

I really regret it now!

In order to have a chance to become a full-fledged employee as soon as possible, Wu Zhe did not resist Jackie Chan's orders at all and quickly led the reserve team to do the preparatory work.

Meanwhile, Jackie Chan led the Ace of Spades team, introducing the subjects they would be learning that day before shooting.

Learning to shoot naturally begins with the proper grip. Jackie Chan referenced a shooting technique that emerged in the 70s and became internationally recognized during that era, being widely adopted by the militaries and security forces of most countries worldwide.

"Vivre's gun handling method!"

It is also known as the "modern gun law"!

This is a modern gun-holding method developed and perfected by a U.S. Marine Corps lieutenant colonel named Jeff Cooper, based on the unique and precise gun-holding method of a shooting enthusiast named Vivor.

but.

The way Jackie Chan holds the gun isn't what he emphasizes; he mainly conveys the four core rules of Vivor's gun-holding method:

1. The gun is always fully loaded with bullets;

2. Never point your gun at a target you don't want to eliminate;

3. After the crosshair locks onto the target, place your finger on the trigger;

4. Always be clear about the target you want to shoot.

Although the trainees had never heard of the "Vivre gun handling method" that Jackie Chan talked about, they had not only heard of rules 2 and 3 of the four rules, but had also been strictly following them.

In particular, the rule that one cannot place their finger on the trigger has earned them the nickname "Golden Finger".

Anyone who dares to do that will definitely get a beating from the class monitor.

The reason Jackie Chan specifically mentioned the "Viver gun-holding method" before formally teaching tactical shooting was to make everyone remember these four principles.

In CQB, any one of these four points is extremely crucial.

Trainees must memorize these four sentences and deeply understand their meaning; this has always been an essential part of Jackie Chan's training program as an instructor.

Jackie Chan, fearing that the trainees might not understand the deeper meaning, specifically explained: "In CQB operations, the first of the four principles ensures that you are always at the highest level of combat effectiveness."

Whenever you have a spare moment, you must remind your teammates to keep watch for you and immediately reload the magazine with full ammo, even if you only fire one shot.

Don't worry about frequent magazine changes causing problems. Compared to saving your life and surviving on the battlefield, a little extra trouble is insignificant.

Once the fighting subsides, there will be plenty of time for you to organize, check, and replenish your supplies.

However, in the midst of intense firefights, suppressive fire is the most basic requirement. Every extra bullet provides more sustained fire suppression, which in turn provides you with more safety.

As long as the enemy cannot peek out and fire, you have the initiative on the battlefield; otherwise, you lose the initiative.

The trainees had never participated in real combat before, so they didn't really have these concepts in mind.

They understand what firepower suppression is, but they have never actually been on the battlefield and have no idea that the enemy will also retaliate, or even become insane and use crazy firepower suppression.

However, if one is pinned down in cover by the enemy for an extended period of time, the consequences can be dire.

It's not just that a direct bullet hits someone and kills them; stray bullets, ricochets, or debris from impacts with buildings can all be fatal.

It's nothing like exercises and training where you can just hide behind cover and everything will be fine.

If Jackie Chan hadn't specifically brought it up, they wouldn't have cared about such details at all, and they certainly wouldn't have known that one or two bullets could have such a big impact.

If it were the 21st century, an era of advanced gaming, young people who grew up playing shooting games would find Jackie Chan's words more relatable and easier to understand.

Because the game has extended magazines!

Extended magazines weren't invented in games; they exist in reality. More advanced versions include dual magazines and even magazine bundles.

Why are there extended magazines?

Think about it and you'll understand!

It means increasing the duration of firepower output, giving you a greater advantage in combat, even if that advantage is small, because life or death can be decided with just one bullet.

The first point, which seemed unremarkable at first glance, was analyzed in detail by Jackie Chan.

The trainees all understood the importance of it, and some of the more insightful trainees even had a sudden realization on the spot, gaining a completely new understanding of combat.

Jackie Chan observed the expressions on the students' faces and found that most of them understood. He then continued to explain the remaining three points.

"I won't go into points 2 and 3. From the first day you entered the army and took up your guns, you have already studied in depth and you know very well why the muzzle of the gun cannot be pointed at people and why you cannot make the mistake of being a gold finger."

I'd like to focus on the last, fourth point: always be clear about the target you're shooting at.

First, you need to understand this sentence.

It's a general description, not a specific idea that you have to be pointing a gun at a target. In actual combat, there won't be a target constantly in front of you.

It means to maintain focus in battle and never be distracted or change direction or target arbitrarily.

In CQB operations, it is crucial to remain unaffected by any external factors, regardless of the direction or location the enemy might approach. This is essential for your safety and that of your entire team.

Because in complex indoor combat environments, you can't be sure where someone might suddenly jump out.

Therefore, the most basic requirement for a combat squad is to control all the vision around the squad and ensure that vision control extends wherever the squad goes, with absolutely no blind spots.

If you are assigned to be a gunner, responsible for the rearguard and guarding the passage behind the sentry squad, then you must and can only focus on this direction.

Until you receive feedback from your teammates ahead, even if the sky falls, all you can do is look back.

You must never abandon the rear and expose your back to the enemy just because your teammates are engaging the enemy ahead, and you should only think about helping your teammates.

This is very dangerous.

Unconditional and absolute trust in teammates is one of the foundations of your CQB training.

If an enemy suddenly appears behind you at this moment, but you fail to detect it due to a mistake, the consequences would be extremely terrible.

Therefore, focus on your goals; this is something you must remember deeply.

"When it comes to the practical training, anyone who dares to provide reckless support, like in a conventional war, shouldn't blame me for showing no mercy."

When Jackie Chan said this, his expression became extremely serious, almost fierce.

Mutual help is a fine tradition in my country, and this is fine in most places, but it is a big taboo in CQB.

CQB is a team collaboration framework in which each member strictly performs their duties and cooperates with each other.

The assault team members in charge of the front line should focus on the front and confidently hand over the flanks and rear to their teammates. They should never have thoughts like, "Will they be able to handle this? Should I go and help them?"

Furthermore, one should not have overconfident ideas such as "I am capable enough to manage not only the front but also the back."

You need to understand that everyone is doing their own job. Once you take charge of the front, the others will no longer care about the situation in front. If you lose the vision in front, it's like selling out the entire team.

In actual combat...

Never underestimate your enemy. Even if you turn around and fire a shot, losing sight of them for just a second can give them the opportunity to come out and deliver a devastating blow.

What Jackie Chan said are all practical experiences, derived from exposed cases and his own combat experience.

He shared his knowledge with the trainees without reservation, hoping to help them avoid bloody lessons and gain more combat experience.

The members of the Ace of Spades team could also sense that Jackie Chan's strict teaching style was for their own good.

The positive emotions were contagious, and I studied even more diligently.

After teaching the four principles to pay attention to in CQB, Jackie Chan then moved on to the content of this practical lesson, saying: "Due to the special nature of the combat environment, CQB requires special shooting methods."

Before we begin answering the questions in the open subject section, I'd like to ask everyone here: If an enemy appeared in front of you, how would you kill him/her?

"Report!"

Tuo Yonggang was very enthusiastic and was the first to raise his hand.

"Okay, Tuo Yonggang, you tell us what you think," Jackie Chan said, calling on him.

"I'll blow his head off, bang, one shot, kill him on the spot." Tuo Yonggang even gestured with his hands, answering vividly.

He was very confident in his answer!

Unexpectedly, Jackie Chan laughed nonchalantly and poured cold water on him: "Very well, you've been killed by the other side. Next up."

"Why?? I shot him in the head! Is his head made of iron or something? Can't it be broken?" Tuo Yonggang asked, bewildered and unconvinced.

"I'll explain it to you later."

Jackie Chan, keeping Tuo Yonggang in suspense, asked the remaining trainees, "Besides headshot kills, do you have any other answers?"

"Report!"

Wu Liuyi raised his hand and said.

"Speak!" Jackie Chan gestured.

"I'll aim for his chest and shoot him in the heart," Wu Liuyi replied.

"Anything else?" Jackie Chan pressed.

"That's it. His heart was hit; he couldn't have survived."

After Wu Liuyi finished speaking confidently, he seemed a little unsteady and added, "One shot isn't enough, I'll shoot him in the chest a few more times."

"You're slightly stronger than Tuo Yonggang, but in the end, you're the one who will die," Jackie Chan said.

"How is that possible? His heart was damaged, how could he possibly kill me?" Wu Liuyi, like Tuo Yonggang, thought it was absolutely impossible.

I'll explain it to you later.

Jackie Chan, still keeping everyone in suspense, then asked, "Does anyone else have any other answers?"

"Report!"

Xu Sanduo raised his hand.

"Speak," Jackie Chan said.

"We should shoot him in the leg, then go over and subdue him, and kill him directly. I think... I don't think that's a good idea," Xu Sanduo said hesitantly.

"Very good, 0 points. The reason is that you are too naive and too saintly."

Unlike before, Jackie Chan sternly criticized Xu Sanduo, saying, "Kindness on the battlefield is cruelty to your teammates."

The assailant has a gun. What's the point of shooting him in the leg? Do you think he'd show mercy? Would he even shoot you in the leg? That's utterly naive and stupid!!

If you give such a stupid answer next time, get out of the Ace of Spades game; you're not fit for it.

Jackie Chan launched into a tirade of criticism, showing absolutely no mercy, and even threatened to eliminate Xu Sanduo, leaving him speechless and bowing his head in embarrassment.

Being too kind has always been Xu Sanduo's flaw.

In the original storyline, Duo was too kind, and he killed a female drug dealer in close combat, which caused him to have an emotional breakdown and cause a lot of trouble for a long time.

Jackie Chan didn't want that kind of thing to happen again, so he had to give a stern reprimand from the very beginning.

and.

Jackie Chan also planned to have Xu Sanduo help kill chickens, fish, and pigs in the kitchen whenever he had free time, so that he could experience the baptism of blood on animals.

Again.

Yuan Lang's incurable flaw, Jackie Chan will fix it!

"Does anyone else have a different opinion?" Jackie Chan asked the remaining members.

No one raised their hand this time!

Hitting the head won't work, hitting the body won't work, hitting the legs won't work—this covers every part of the entire body; there's nowhere left to hit.

Therefore, the trainees did not know how to answer, let alone what to do.

After waiting a few seconds and no one raised their hand, Jackie Chan began to explain: "Why can't we prioritize the first one? It's a matter of timing."

For example, if your opponent is of the same skill level as you, and you both advance with your guns held at a normal angle, in order to ensure that the recoil is perfectly absorbed by your body and to ensure the accuracy of your aim, the gun line is kept at a normal horizontal level.

It can't curve upwards, nor can it droop downwards.

If you see the other person at the same time as them around a corner, and you only want to kill them with one shot, aiming at their head, then you need to raise the muzzle of your gun before you can fire.

This time may be very short, perhaps a fraction of a second, and you may overlook it or not take it seriously.

Because the targets you usually aim at during live-fire exercises are targets that don't move or retaliate, and even when you use simulation equipment for exercises, there's no such thing as a vital point.

However, in actual combat, if your opponent is of similar strength...

In the time it takes you to raise your gun and aim at someone's head, the enemy can pull the trigger three or four times, leaving you with a bunch of holes, and you won't have a chance to fire again.

Wu Liuyi's answer of prioritizing aiming at the chest was correct in general, but the lack of follow-up attacks posed a significant risk.

First, there are mirror images of people in this world. Their hearts are on the right side. Even if you think you've hit their vital point, they still have enough power to kill you back.

Although the probability of encountering a mirror image person is very low, we should still take precautions to nip the danger in the bud.

Secondly, as times progress and technology develops, individual soldier equipment is constantly being updated and upgraded.

Wearing a bulletproof vest alone cannot stop rifle bullets; it can only stop pistol or submachine gun fire. However, a new type of bulletproof protection has emerged internationally: adding a new type of protective gear called a bulletproof insert to the bulletproof vest.

Bulletproof plates are made of metal or other materials and are usually about two centimeters thick, providing strong protection against bullet penetration.

Take, for example, the first boron carbide insert that the U.S. military officially mass-produced and put into service in April 1998.

它可以正面挡住三发7.62毫米的m80普通弹、7.62毫米LPS钢芯全金属背甲弹、以及5.56的m855弹。

In other words, shooting an enemy with a rifle through bulletproof plates is simply not enough to kill them.

Bulletproof plates primarily protect chest and abdominal organs such as the heart. Traditional double-shot technology is no longer sufficient to support warfare in the face of rapid technological advancements.

If you still fight with old ideas, and your opponents are just ordinary violent elements, then you can indeed easily crush them.

But what kind of organization are we? Would we be targets of low-level thugs armed with knives and homemade guns?

No, they are the enemies of the armed police and the special police, not our hypothetical enemies.

The enemies we will face in the future will be many times more threatening, and may very well be heavily armed, well-equipped, and professionally trained terrorists, even better equipped than us.

Only by using cutting-edge technology and continuously innovating our technology can we defeat them and protect the safety of our country and people.

Jackie Chan's explanation was very detailed and thorough, and both Tuo Yonggang and Wu Liuyi were convinced.

You have to admit it!

In this era, information was still very limited, and the internet was only accessible to a very small number of people. Domestically, people knew very little about foreign military forces.

Wu Zhe might know something here, after all, he has read so many books and has some understanding of external information.

Tuo Yonggang was out of luck. He attended a military academy, where the network was restricted and unable to connect to the outside world, making it impossible for him to obtain sensitive information about foreign militaries.

In addition, his major was paratroopers, so he was completely ignorant of all kinds of international information.

Moreover, the bulletproof inserts that Jackie Chan mentioned were only officially deployed by the United States two years ago, making them a very rare item in this era.

The vast majority of soldiers have never even heard of it!

As for Wu Liuyi, he joined the army right after graduating from high school and has been stationed in the Steel Seventh Company ever since, so he has no access to news from the front lines.

Jackie Chan's readily available examples were enough to convince the two men from the bottom of their hearts.

Once you've accepted the advice, questions arise, so Tuo Yonggang submitted another report asking, "Since the head isn't a priority target, and the chest area is equipped with bulletproof gear, what do we do? Just stand there and watch helplessly as the enemy appears?"

Tuo Yonggang asked the question that all the trainees had, and they all blinked and looked at Jackie Chan.

PS:

There was a mistake earlier. Yuan Lang is the captain of the third squadron, not the first squadron. Everything has been corrected.

Thanks to the expert "Executioner" for pointing this out!
