The helicopter is always flying, and parameters such as distance to the target and angle are changing at any time.
Basically, the golden shooting time is after three seconds of counting, otherwise the data must be updated.
What's even more terrible is the airflow generated by the helicopter propeller.
This is the biggest difference between helicopter sniping and ground sniping. There will be propeller airflow within about 20 meters of the helicopter.
This kind of airflow is not the normal ambient wind speed and has a certain impact on the trajectory of the discharge. It is very complicated to correct. General snipers cannot do it. Those who can do helicopter sniping are all experienced snipers.
Outside the command room of the No. 1 ship, someone couldn't help but whisper to himself: "Why haven't you fired yet? Could it be that you can't find the target?"
"It's not easy, it's raining..."
"Yes, I have never seen anyone complete a sniper attack on the sea under such altitude conditions on a rainy day..."
The commander and deputy commander were still indifferent.
The rain hit their military caps and dripped down along the brim of their hats. Some rainwater splashed on their faces, but the two old soldiers didn't even wipe it off.
They were waiting for the gunshot.
At this height and with this climate condition, the commander himself knew that he would not be able to hit the target even if he put himself in a helicopter.
He originally wanted to come up with a difficult problem to scare off the two special forces soldiers who came from the Army.
Didn't think about it...
The two young officers actually accepted the call directly...
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers...
He sighed in his heart.
Even if he failed, he made up his mind and would not blame these two young people.
At least the courage is commendable.
Bang——
There seemed to be gunfire.
Due to the rainy weather and the long distance, the sound of warships breaking through the waves was relatively loud, and the gunshots in the air were a bit muffled.
Someone asked: "A gunshot went off? Did you hear it?"
"Seems to be……"
"How many shots were fired?"
Some people are very concerned about this issue.
"A shot... seems like..."
"One shot? Did it hit?"
The officer behind the commander handed over the binoculars.
The leader took it, raised his hand and looked in the general direction of the target.
The old sailor's sharp eyes quickly spotted the buoy target floating on the water.
It can no longer be called a target at this time.
Momo Lake seems to be floating on the sea, obscured by raindrops and waves and making it difficult to see.
He adjusted the magnification of the telescope to the maximum, held the lens steady, and looked again carefully.
I can see it clearly this time.
The buoy target was broken. It was originally inflated, but after the hit, it deflated and deflated, and it floated on the sea surface.
"bingo."
He put down the telescope and turned back to the command room.
As he walked, he said to Lu Gang: "If there is an opportunity during the next training, I will arrange for him to stop by my place. I want to meet these two snipers in person."
"yes!"
Lu Gang breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart dropped to the ground.
The bullishness I boasted for Li Zheng finally didn’t break down...
On the helicopter.
Li Zheng took back the gun, checked the gun, unloaded the bullet, and turned off the safety.
The pilot in front, Hou Jun in the cabin, and the mechanic in charge of support in the cabin asked the same question almost at the same time: "Hit?"
Li Zheng nodded: "I hit it, but unfortunately it's not a high-precision hit. It's on the high side, but it's a pity..."
As he spoke, he subconsciously shook his head.
The two pilots looked at me and I looked at you. They quickly turned around and stared at the sea surface to look for the buoy target to see if they had hit it.
Finally, the main driver made a gesture to the co-pilot, and then couldn't help but point downward, asking him to look down.
"I really hit the mark."
As he spoke, he turned back and gave Li Zheng a thumbs up: "You are the most powerful sniper I have ever seen."
Hou Jun breathed a sigh of relief this time.
His old habit relapsed and he said: "Of course, Li Zheng participated in the international sniper competition that year and won the first place in the sniper category. At that time, there were so many snipers from various countries, SEALs and Mao's special forces, and no one
Can surpass him!"
The pilot couldn't help but give a thumbs up again.
But Li Zheng couldn't help but touched Hou Jun with his elbow and told him to stop talking.
His character doesn't like this. For Li Zheng, these things seem to have nothing to say. For him, sniping is just a favorite military subject.
The thing that really makes him feel that he is good is his actual combat experience, especially the experience when he and Bai Aote survived the siege by hundreds of rebels, which is worth showing off.
However, those things cannot be aired or even mentioned.
Back on the ship, his teammates came up to him and praised Li Zheng for his wonderful job.
Zhang Jian said: "You are completely famous in the formation this time. The commander called your name and said he wanted to see you."
"See me?" Li Zheng put the high-precision sniper into a PVC protective box and asked Zhang Jian: "He is on the No. 1 ship, how can I see him?"
Zhang Jian said: "The next time we train for rappelling, Captain Lu will definitely arrange it. Don't worry, we will let you go by helicopter."
The first formation sea exercise passed like this.
After handing over the gun, Li Zheng sat on the edge of the bed, took out his laptop and started typing.
Hou Jun came over to take a look. It turned out that Li was summarizing some of his experiences from the drill and making his own analysis and understanding of some tactics.
"Stop busying with these things, go to the restaurant to have something to eat. Before it's our turn to be on duty, let's go see the sea first."
Li Zheng said: "You go ahead, I will finish it later."
Hou Jun said: "Oh, I see the gap..."
Li Zheng asked him curiously: "What's the gap?"
Hou Jun said: "The military gap, the cultural gap..."
He stared at the screen of Li Zheng's laptop, and then said: "Look, I can't write these things so thoroughly. It's okay to simply record them. As for analyzing and putting forward my own opinions, I can't do it as well as you do."
, this is the cultural gap..."
He paused and then said: "As for the military... I used to be so awesome that I could compete with you, but today I'm convinced by your shot... I... am still only suitable to be a soldier.
Commander at the grassroots level, you are different from me, your future prospects will really not be any worse than our brigade commander's."
Li Zheng was stunned for a moment.
He wanted to say something to comfort Hou Jun.
But I can't seem to find anything to comfort me.
Because Hou Jun told the truth.
This is the weakness that the top soldiers directly mention.
Non-commissioned officers like Hou Jun are promoted through military service and military merit. There is absolutely nothing wrong with their personal military qualities. It is a pity that most such non-commissioned officers have certain restrictions on their educational level. For example, a master like Li Zheng with a graduate degree is
It's rare, not to mention rare, simply rare.
Being a grassroots commander, company level or even battalion level, Hou Jun has no problem.
But once you reach the regiment and brigade level, you will be commanding large-unit operations. This cannot be supported by personal military literacy. It must be based on theoretical knowledge and supported by practical experience in leading troops and commanding experience.
.
This is why since the beginning of the new century, most of the cadres promoted by soldiers have a low ceiling for development in the army. Most of them are professional at the battalion level, and those at the regiment level and above are rare.
