Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 67 A Major Discovery in Gaocheng? (14, Requesting monthly votes and subscriptions)

Armed helicopters unleashed concentrated fire from the sky, which was clearly visible from the positions.

"Old Gao, command post..."

"The plan remains unchanged."

Instructor Hong Xingguo's expression changed drastically, and he was interrupted by Gao Cheng before he could finish speaking.

No matter how much damage the command center suffers in this round of attacks, that's not something the frontline infantry need to worry about.

Withdrawing frontline infantry would not only be counterproductive, but would also create a major breach in the defenses, making the situation even more critical.

As long as the war is not over, the soldiers on the front lines must hold their positions, remember their mission, and never panic.

Gao Cheng knew how to fight, so he didn't panic. He calmly picked up the radio microphone and ordered, "All squads, accelerate your assault, continue to penetrate deeper, and find their stronghold."

"Received by Shift Three."

Upon receiving the latest orders, Shi Jin immediately led his squad to continue the attack.

Other classes followed suit.

After descending Hill 034 from the reverse slope, the Seventh Steel Company advanced rapidly like a sharp dagger, achieving remarkable success along the way.

They pushed forward for several hundred miles until they came to a wide, flat area with sparse trees.

There's another high point ahead.

The Seventh Steel Company is currently riding high on morale. Adhering to the principle of pressing forward in one go, each squad is working together to prepare for another charge to seize the position.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened.

"Bang!"

A shot rang out.

This is the first shot fired on the battlefield two hours after the start of the exercise, which is equivalent to two hours after the outbreak of war.

The first shot was fired by the enemy; their marksmanship was so precise that it killed him instantly.

"Be careful to stay hidden."

"Sniper, there's a sniper."

After a flurry of shouts and yells, the Steel Seventh Company, which had been charging forward with all its might, was forced to stop and find cover.

Only Gan Xiaoning, who had been "killed" with a single shot, stood there angrily without dodging.

Ignoring the thick white smoke rising behind him, he shouted towards the woods at the foot of the mountain ahead, "Who the hell is it? Who the hell is it? You dare to launch a sneak attack? It doesn't count if you didn't see anyone!"

"You think you're playing house? You're already dead, so lie down."

Wu Liuyi, who was hiding behind a tree, scolded Gan Xiaoning in a bad mood. When Gan Xiaoning reluctantly lay down, Wu Liuyi peeked out from the side with his gun in hand.

He pointed the gun at the woods directly in front of him and started firing indiscriminately.

"Clap clap clap clap..."

The August 1st rifle's muzzle flashes, and the sound of gunfire echoes through the woods.

Other soldiers in the Steel Seventh Company followed suit, whether they hid behind trees, behind rocks, or on the ground.

They all fired in unison, spraying bullets regardless of whether they could hit anything.

If you're using live ammunition, and there are many enemies hiding in the woods ahead, you might get lucky and manage to kill one or two unlucky guys by focusing your fire.

The exercise used blank cartridges, relying entirely on laser-triggered receivers mounted on the guns.

Lasers have no penetrating power whatsoever; a single leaf can easily block them.

The Steel Seventh Company, with dozens of men wielding guns, swept through the area, but aside from hearing the sound of blanks firing, it had absolutely no effect.

Just joining in the fun.

Jackie Chan didn't join in the reckless actions. Under the cover of his comrades firing indiscriminately, he carefully observed the terrain ahead.

As a seasoned veteran, he knew exactly how to find snipers.

It's definitely not realistic to rely on the naked eye to see.

We must rely on reverse reasoning!

Snipers need to find the best sniping position, which is unavoidable.

If Jackie Chan wants to find the enemy's sniper, he only needs to use this as the core of his counter-intelligence strategy.

Based on his more than ten years of experience as a special forces soldier, he could determine the best spot in the woods at the foot of the opposite mountain for a sniper to ambush, and with that, he would have a high probability of finding the enemy sniper.

A sniper whose whereabouts are unknown, or a venomous snake that inspires fear.

Once a sniper's position is exposed, they are basically no longer a threat.

Besides Jackie Chan, who was searching for the sniper, there was another person in the company who hadn't fired a shot, but was also searching in the same way as Jackie Chan.

He is Cheng Cai, the sniper from the sixth squad!

As the younger brother who grew up in the shadow of his older brother and benefited greatly from his brother's influence, his sniping skills were entirely honed by Jackie Chan.

Cheng Cai, who possesses 70% of Jackie Chan's sniping experience, has sniping skills that far surpass those of his fellow soldiers.

The instant the enemy sniper fired, he immediately began searching, drawing on the lessons Jackie Chan had taught him since childhood.

And because he's a sniper himself, he has an advantage over Jackie Chan in finding him.

Because the Type 85 sniper rifle is equipped with an optical sight.

Based on the Soviet PSO-1 scope, the Type 79 7.62mm sniper rifle scope has a 4x magnification and can assist in shooting targets within 1300 meters.

Having a scope allows you to see further and more clearly, making it much easier to find people.

At least assuming that someone is in a certain place, Jackie Chan can pinpoint the location even if he is 100 or 200 meters away and cannot see clearly with the naked eye.

That's the advantage of good equipment!

Of course, this is not absolute.

There are also many other methods that don't require a scope and can be used with the naked eye to accurately determine whether there is a sniper in a distant place.

It just requires more experience, and Jackie Chan happens to have that kind of experience.

Who will find it first depends on who has the best luck.

The Seventh Steel Company fired shots into the woods for a long time, but no smoke canisters appeared. Realizing that this was useless, they all stopped.

The enemy sniper wasn't taken out, and there was no way to push forward.

The two sides were deadlocked.

An entire company was held back by a single sniper; that's the terror of snipers on the battlefield.

Company Commander Gao Cheng heard that they had encountered the enemy ahead, and that they were dealing with the most troublesome snipers. As an impatient person, he couldn't hold back any longer.

He found the front line with his communications officer.

Right behind the members of the Seventh Steel Company, he took out his binoculars and began searching.

The telescope has a wider field of view and can zoom in for a clearer view.

This search.

They soon reaped the rewards.

Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai searched for a long time without finding anything, but Gao Cheng, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, was the first to spot the enemy sniper.

Gao Cheng wanted to kill this guy, but he didn't have any suitable tools at hand.

Just a small pistol, completely useless.

I put down the binoculars and looked around. Just then, Jackie Chan was less than 10 meters to my right, staring wide-eyed at me, looking around for me.

Machine gunners and snipers are similar; they are usually positioned at the rear during combat.

Jackie Chan wasn't a sniper, and Gao Cheng originally wanted to replace him.

Considering that Jackie Chan was the only person in the entire Steel Seventh Company to have been personally nominated by the division commander for the title of sharpshooter, coupled with the fact that Jackie Chan's machine gun shooting was extremely accurate, and the opponent was less than 200 meters away.

So Gao Cheng didn't look for anyone else, and whistled in the direction of Jackie Chan.

Jackie Chan already knew that the company commander was behind him. When he heard the hissing behind him, he was not nervous, but turned his head to look in confusion.

The company commander originally wanted to use tactical hand gestures to describe the situation, but he was afraid that Jackie Chan wouldn't be able to find the location.

He simply ran over to Jackie Chan, handed him the binoculars, extended his thumb, and alternately closed his left and right eyes to calculate the sniper's distance.

Gao Cheng, his eyes brimming with anticipation, said, "I've found him. He's at 3 o'clock ahead, 180 meters away, between two trees. Are you confident you can take him down?"
