Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 146 CARs - Central Axis Heavy Lock Shooting System (Please Subscribe)

In the afternoon, Jackie Chan taught and practiced Mozambique shooting techniques. Overall, he was very satisfied with the training results.

However, he still took out a folder, opened it, and scored each student's performance in front of them, without announcing the specific scores.

The main theme is psychology—the unknown is the most frightening.

Each trainee was made to believe that they had lost points and would be eliminated in two weeks, so they dared not relax for a moment and could only devote themselves to the special training.

After training, we go back and have dinner, and there's another training session scheduled for the evening.

Physical training is something where you fall behind if you stop. If you miss a day of training, the feeling will be much worse when you start training again the next day.

With professional technical training filling up the daytime, physical training can only be done at night.

Jackie Chan didn't push the trainees to their limits or exhaust them; he simply conducted physical training to maintain their stamina.

After running a full 8-kilometer run in full gear, we went to the equipment area for half an hour of basic physical training, and each of us ran two 600-meter obstacle sprints.

It took exactly one and a half hours in total.

After relaxing my muscles for half an hour, we went back to the dorm to wash up, and it was just the right time to go to bed.

A true master of time management!

The trainees' days are so packed, from waking up in the morning until going to bed at night, that they have absolutely no free time.

They showed no emotion whatsoever.

They even lingered there, wishing they could practice for another two hours.

The special training teams that Yuan Lang and Qi Huan had previously trained had caused the trainees to complain and regard them as enemies, representing two completely different extremes.

That's why.

One reason is the difference in training objectives.

Yuan Lang's training targets the limits of physical endurance, stimulating the trainees' physical potential and tempering their willpower, making them more resilient.

Jackie Chan primarily trains his students' intelligence, as well as their physical reflexes and coordination.

Since each trainee focuses on different areas, the training methods will inevitably differ, resulting in vastly different experiences for the trainees.

On the other hand, it's also a matter of experience.

Having served as a special forces instructor for over 10 years in his previous life, and with over 20 years of military service from the grassroots level, Jackie Chan has far more special training experience than Yuan Lang.

Therefore, when organizing training for his students, Jackie Chan understands better how to train scientifically.

……

Day two of intensive training!

"beep--"

"Pilot training team, assemble."

With Jackie Chan's assembly whistle from downstairs, the second day of training for Team A of Spades began.

The morning session was the same as yesterday, with the whole team going to the multimedia classroom to learn tactical language, one of the core elements of CQB.

Compared to yesterday, which used mostly silent tactical language, this was primarily for communication before the engagement began.

Today, we added spoken tactical language, primarily for communication after or during engagements, to ensure more coordinated combat.

Such as:

During combat, before reloading after running out of bullets, you must shout "Reload!" to alert your teammates that you are out of ammo.

This will allow your teammates to know your situation and adjust the battle rhythm accordingly.

To avoid your teammates noticing an enemy running towards you without knowing you're out of ammo and reloading, which would allow the enemy to easily close the distance.

Also, during combat, the first member of the line must shout out the command to advance before moving forward.

Let your teammates know you're about to move forward, and adjust your own status accordingly to keep up, preventing the team from becoming disjointed and everyone from fighting their own battles.

After each room has been cleaned, a safety command must be given.

This is also to let the teammates who are providing cover outside the door know what is happening inside the house, so they don't have to worry about the teammates inside, and can immediately hide inside the house if they encounter danger.

……

Tactical language used during firefights, such as these, is also very important in combat, as it facilitates coordinated operations between teammates.

Jackie Chan also required each team member to remember that they must not miss any tactical language.

And this was clearly communicated to the trainees.

After completing the tactical language instruction, he will organize an assessment, and those who fail will have double the points deducted.

Upon hearing that failing the test would result in a double deduction of points, the trainees were all taken aback.

I've become more serious about my studies!

……

After a morning of mentally taxing rote memorization, the afternoon continued with outdoor practical training, focusing on CQB tactical shooting and learning new shooting techniques.

The practice venue is the same shooting range as yesterday.

At first, Jackie Chan didn't say anything, but directly arranged for the trainees to receive ammunition. Each person received eight magazines and fired two rounds of Mozambique to consolidate their skills.

Only during a break in organizing the trainees did they begin explaining today's new subject.

"Today I'll still be teaching you CQB shooting, focusing on speed. But there's one difference: today I'll be teaching you a shooting system, specifically an integrated offensive and defensive shooting system, not just a shooting technique."

Hearing that they could learn new ways to fire a gun, the trainees, who had already found joy in shooting in Mozambique, were completely immersed in it.

They immediately became excited.

The way Jackie Chan conducted his training today was slightly different from what happened yesterday.

Before giving his explanation and introduction, he first gave a demonstration.

"I'll give you a demonstration first. Watch my movements carefully and notice any differences. I'll ask you questions later."

Jackie Chan reminded the members of the Spade Squad to take their Type 95 rifles and walk to the target.

Still 10 meters away, begin the preparatory movements.

"Huh? That's a strange movement."

As soon as Jackie Chan finished his gun-holding maneuver, the trainees immediately noticed something was amiss.

The standing shooting posture that the trainees learned was a T-stance with one foot in front of the other, the upper body slightly tilted, and the gun parallel to the ground.

Or it could be the isosceles triangular grip of a pistol.

Stand with your legs spread apart, grip the gun with both hands, and extend your arms straight out to form a triangle with your chest to maximize the stability of the gun's recoil.

Jackie Chan's feet were indeed spread apart, one in front of the other, with his body tilted at an angle of more than 80 degrees.

It's basically equivalent to turning to the side.

Because the right shoulder is pulled back significantly when the body is turned to the side, the position of the butt of the gun is also moved back, and the barrel extends shorter and is closer to the body.

It looks like he's holding a rifle in his arms, making this gun-holding posture look very strange.

Jackie Chan held the gun at a height that was not level with his eyes, but slightly below eye level, below his line of sight, so that his entire eyes could be seen from the front.

It made the gun-holding posture look even more awkward.

In conventional shooting, the eyes are level with the gun face, and the eyes are always aligned with the three points of aiming, with the eyes being blocked behind the scope or sight.

Jackie Chan, however, exposed his eyes, and both eyes were open, using both eyes to aim.

This is completely different from the conventional way of holding a gun!

"What kind of bizarre pose is this?"

"If you don't maintain a straight line between your three points of aim, how can you hit the target accurately when you fire?"

"Aiming with both eyes is certainly possible, but is it really suitable for CQB?"

"Is this posture...not awkward to move around in?"

The trainees were seeing this gun-holding posture for the first time. They believed that Jackie Chan did it for a reason, but they couldn't see any advantage in it.

Jackie Chan didn't stop to explain, but instead began demonstrating the operation step by step.

After taking a standing position and entering the ready state, Jackie Chan then used this gun-holding posture to shoot at a target 10 meters away.

"Da da~ da! Da da~ da..."

Jackie Chan resumed his fluid, rhythmic, and aesthetically pleasing shooting.

The standing posture changed when shooting, the way he held the gun changed, and Jackie Chan's movements also changed when he fired the gun.

Before each shot, Jackie Chan would slightly adjust the muzzle of his gun upwards.

The height was precisely controlled.

It looks like I've already aimed at the three points in a straight line, but it also seems like I haven't reached the level of the three points yet; I'm just shooting by feel.

But the target kept trembling, proving that Jackie Chan hit the target every time.

Moreover, after each Mozambique shot, Jackie Chan would lower the muzzle of his gun and adjust the crosshair back to its initial position.

The whole process takes about 0.5 seconds.

After adjusting, fire a second round, continuing to fire Mozambique at the target, then return the gun to its original position, and repeat the cycle continuously.

From Xu Sanduo and Wu Liuyi's perspective, Jackie Chan's gun barrel was constantly swinging up and down.

Under Jackie Chan's rapid firing, the 30 rifle bullets were quickly used up.

Jackie Chan replaced the Type 95 rifle with a Type 92 pistol, but his gun-holding posture was still strange; he didn't extend the gun with both hands straight out like in the usual way.

Instead, he pulled the gun back as much as possible, making it look like he was holding it in his arms.

In other places, it's the same as when shooting a rifle: the muzzle is slightly lower and the sight is slightly below eye level, which looks a bit strange.

They were both shot at Mozambique, two shots to the chest and one to the head.

With the new gun-holding technique combined with the shooting method taught yesterday, 15 bullets were fired at a rate of three bullets per second, plus the time for adjusting the muzzle between each Mozambique shot.

It took less than 8 seconds in total.

After firing all the bullets from both guns, Jackie Chan returned to the front of the line.

He then asked the trainees, "The rifle and pistol shooting I just did used the same firing system. Did you notice any differences?"

"Report!"

Wu Liuyi participated very actively.

"explain!"

Jackie Chan is looking forward to Wu Liuyi's performance.

"I think this way of holding a gun is unique and definitely not universal; it can only be used in special environments. But based on your demonstration, compared to the normal gun-holding posture, it seems to shoot slower. I don't see its advantage, so why should we learn it?"

Wu Liuyi's questioning was met with no hesitation, just like his straightforward personality.

"Okay, that helps. We've identified the problem."

Jackie Chan wasn't angered by Wu Liuyi's questioning. He smiled and turned to the others, asking, "Anyone else? Does anyone have a different opinion?"

"Report!"

As a typical tough guy, Tuo Yonggang would definitely not be absent from the roast show.

"This thing is weird, is it really useful? With his standing posture, I can't imagine how he can move forward without tripping over himself," Tuo Yonggang complained even more sharply.

"Haha, great, interesting angle."

Jackie Chan smiled and gave his assessment, then asked the others, "Does anyone else have any opinions?"

No one from the Ace of Spades squad is reporting anything anymore. The problems are most likely related to shooting and movement, so there's no need for them to come out and say anything more.

Wu Zhe from the preparatory group was full of things to say; he was known for his skepticism.

But the preparatory group had no say, so he could only watch helplessly.

He felt a tightness in his chest, but couldn't express it, which made him even more eager to join the Ace of Spades team.

"It seems that your objections are mainly focused on shooting and movement, so I will address those two points for you."

Jackie Chan commented, "Wu Liuyi, you are right about one thing: this is indeed a shooting system designed for special environments."

However, you made another mistake. It's not just suitable for special environments; it can also be used normally in normal terrain environments such as outdoors, and it still has unique advantages when used.

However, it also has a major drawback that you may not have noticed: it is very difficult to operate and requires a faster reaction speed.

Without long-term systematic training and a matching reaction speed, its advantages are not very obvious.

It's frustrating to put in so much effort to train, only to end up with the same result as someone who just holds a gun normally.

Therefore, this shooting system is a niche system, and only a very few people with strong comprehension skills can use it. Most people will give up using it and adopt simpler other guns instead.

So I will teach you how to use it, but I won't require everyone to use it.

I will continue to teach you many other ways to handle guns. You can choose according to your own situation and ultimately decide to use one or more of them.

The shooting system I just used is also a cutting-edge special operations technology internationally, and its full name is the center axis relock system.

It's commonly abbreviated as CARs, which translates to "central axle re-locking system."
