Aim the cross reticle at the giant ant, estimate the vehicle speed and wind speed, move the muzzle slightly back, aim half a meter behind the giant ant with the inverted V apex under the cross reticle, then slightly raise the muzzle, and pull the trigger harder.
boom--
The dull sound of gunshots echoed on both sides of the road, but the bullets flew to nowhere. The unharmed giant ant was still walking alone.
Zhuo Haoran's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head and shouted: "Qiao Hai, drive more slowly!"
"Just stop and let you finish the fight!" Xiao Yuan joked.
"No need!" Zhuo Haoran got mad and adjusted his aim and shot again. This time he finally saw that the impact point was in the center of the crosshairs.
Zhuo Haoran almost lost his breath and fell back. The third shot finally hit the giant ant. The special bullet shattered half of the giant ant's abdomen in one shot. Although the tenacious giant ant is not dead yet, death will only come sooner or later.
thing.
Xiao Yuan stretched out three fingers proudly, and then changed it to a V-sign representing victory.
"This doesn't count. I didn't know your scope was so perverted!" Zhuo Haoran said angrily.
He has only used the optical sight of a rifle, and the effective range of modern rifles is generally 400 meters. Generally speaking, the cross reticle of a rifle optical sight can only shoot targets 200 meters away, and bullets can fly to 300 meters away.
, the ballistic trajectory will drop significantly, and you must use the first inverted v below the cross reticle to aim. The upper end of the vertical line below the inverted v represents four hundred meters, the lower end represents five hundred meters, and so on.
The prepared range of a large-caliber sniper rifle can reach 1,500 meters, and the longest range can reach an astonishing 2,500 meters. Its ballistic trajectory is much smoother than that of ordinary rifles. It can only shoot targets 800 to 1,000 meters away.
If you need to raise the gun to hit a target three to four hundred meters away, just use the cross reticle.
Zhuo Haoran had never used a large-caliber sniper rifle before. He used the optical sight of the sniper rifle as the optical sight of an assault rifle. He hit the target with three shots, which showed his quick reaction and quick thinking.
"You can't blame me!" Xiao Yuan laughed.
Zhuo Haoran still wanted to argue, but Ye Han stopped the argument with a shout: "Two hundred meters to the left, giant ants!"
Xiao Yuan quickly took back his sniper rifle and stood up to shoot again.
With a gunshot, the thorax of the giant ant 200 meters away exploded, almost breaking into two pieces on the spot.
Xiao Yuan picked up the sniper rifle with smoke coming out of the muzzle, quickly retracted into the warm car, and laughed proudly: "Two!"
"Is it rare?" Zhuo Haoran curled his lips disdainfully, "You are a sniper, and I am a machine gunner to compete with you in sniping. Are you embarrassed?"
"What are you sorry for? Can you blame me if you can't shoot accurately?" Xiao Yuan shouted confidently, "If you don't accept it, just use the machine gun. Doesn't your machine gun also have a scope?"
"How can a machine gun be as accurate as a sniper!" Zhuo Haoran said gloomily.
Ye Han looked back with a smile but not a smile: "Not all machine guns are less accurate than sniper rifles. The m249 is more accurate than the m82 at a distance of one thousand meters."
Zhuo Haoran became even more depressed: "Company commander, that's a special case, okay? How can our machine guns be as accurate as sniper rifles?"
"Yes." Ye Han laughed.
"On the right, giant ant!" Mo Wen suddenly said.
"You or me?" Xiao Yuan asked with a half-smile.
Zhuo Haoran lifted the machine gun mount onto the roof of the car, but the target had moved to the right side of the car. His line of sight was blocked by the roof, and he could not see the target at all.
So he simply put the machine gun behind him and waited calmly for the giant ants to show up.
The cool morning breeze blew behind him, and only a few seconds later, Zhuo Haoran felt his hands and feet stiff, and his fingertips resting on the trigger were so cold that he almost lost all feeling.
The giant ant finally appeared in the scope, and Zhuo Haoran shot decisively, hitting the target with a short burst of fire.
After retreating into the car, Zhuo Haoran was so cold that he could hardly hold his gun. He huddled in the seat and shivered.
Seeing how badly he was freezing, Xiao Yuan lost the interest in teasing, and quickly went over and rubbed Zhuo Haoran's arm vigorously: "Company commander, where do these bugs come from?"
"What time did the last unit withdraw from yesterday?" Ye Han asked.
"Around two o'clock in the afternoon." Qiao Hai replied, "No other troops have withdrawn since then."
"No, no, I mean, why do these bugs appear here - when do they appear here, and why do they appear here, are two completely different questions!" Xiao Yuan explained seriously.
In recent days, the convoy evacuating Linyi has been using several roads leading to the south, and a large number of reports are summarized to the headquarters every day, including the environmental conditions along the way.
The command headquarters will report the situation to all the departments under its jurisdiction every day, and Xiao Yuan is not stupid enough to guess this.
Zhuo Haoran, who had regained his composure, suddenly said: "Company commander, the giant ant just now was missing two legs!"
Ye Han immediately thought of the huge ant colony that was ravaging the occupied area, and his eyes couldn't help but become much deeper: "Maybe it's the boxer ants that have spread... Fuck, the wind and water are changing!"
Yibei District is not far from Linyi. Previously, a large number of giant locusts were driven to the vicinity of Linyi by giant ants. In just a few days, the giant ants that were chasing the giant locusts everywhere were defeated by the boxer ants.
"No?" Xiao Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief.
He knew very well in his heart that the giant ant was no match for the boxer ant, but emotionally he still could not accept this reality.
Ye Han shook his head: "The ants grow to the size of giant ants, which is not difficult to deal with at all, but the size of boxer ants... is really difficult to deal with."
In one sentence, everyone's thoughts were expressed.
If you take out a single giant ant and the boxer ant, they are not on the same starting line at all. The giant ant will completely defeat the boxer ant in every aspect.
However, while the huge size brings advantages to giant ants, it also brings more physical exertion, more food consumption, larger volume and more body surface area.
Even the population of giant ants has to be kept under a certain scale due to its huge size, otherwise there is a risk of starvation of the population.
Otherwise, the military would not have been able to achieve a decisive victory in the battle against the giant ants.
Boxer ants take a completely different route. Although fist-sized insects are rare, they are not unheard of. Their moderate size can not only reduce boxer ants' demand for food, but also enhance their ability to adapt to the environment.
, the expansion of the population does not have to be like that of giant ants, and the huge ant colony that poured into Linyi City is the best proof of this.
Objectively speaking, the giant ants transformed from giant ants cannot be considered a successful creature. They lack sufficient resistance in front of humans who are armed to the teeth. If necessary, humans can even get into the giant ants' nests and behead them.
Tactics that fundamentally solve the basis for the existence of ant colonies.
