Chapter 40: Sniper Training Camp
Liu Baorui took the bullet box and said, "Thank you, girl!" ”
"Thanks what! Just behave well, don't let Wang Junmen down! Wanqing didn't have much affection for the thin Sven in front of her, who didn't look like a soldier at all, but like a scholar, and only felt that this person didn't look like a soldier, but a powerless son.
Liu Baorui carefully inspected the gun, and saw that the whole strip was inserted into a groove under the barrel, and he pulled it out when he used it. Strangely, though, there seems to be a small hammer behind the butt. He tugged at it, and sure enough, a small hammer came out from behind the butt. Looking in from the muzzle of the gun again, he found that the inside of the barrel seemed to be uneven, so Liu Baorui stretched out his finger and touched it inside, and found that the inner wall of the barrel was uneven.
"This firearm is also weird, the inner wall is uneven, no wonder the bullet has to be hammered into it with a small hammer." Liu Baorui muttered to himself.
Wang Xinyu said: "This is deliberately carved rifling, because there is rifling, this bullet is rotated when it is shot." You know how to smoke a spinning top? In that principle, because the bullet rotates, the target can be very high and the range is long. ”
"Thank you for your advice! Subordinates understood! This gun is truly a masterpiece of ingenuity! "Liu Baorui is a scholar after all, and when he was instructed by Wang Xinyu, he immediately understood.
"Little brother, I'll teach you how to use this gun first." Gong Xiaoda walked up. After speaking, he began to demonstrate to Liu Baorui: first open the bullet box, take out a bullet wrapped in silk cloth, uncover the silk cloth, bite open the paper bullet case, pour gunpowder into it, and then wrap the bullet with silk cloth, point up, flat bottom down, and stuff the bullet into the muzzle. Then compacted with a through-strip.
Gong Xiaoda's cartridge was made of copper, as his gun was the first rifled gun. In order to save costs, the rifled guns in the back are equipped with iron bullet boxes.
"Why don't you use a hammer?" Liu Baorui asked.
"Not every bullet has to be used, some don't use it, some have to be used." Gong Xiaoda explained.
After loading the bullet, Gong Xiaoda took out a pointed medicine pot made of soft iron sheet from the bullet box. Open the primer cap behind the barrel, pick up the primer pot, aim at the small hole of the primer pool, pinch the primer pot, pour the primer in, and then close the primer cap.
"Alright, that's it! Demonstrate it to me! "Gong Xiaodao.
Liu Baorui did the same, but his bullet may be a little bigger, and it can't be pushed to the end with a whole strip. The bullet was hammered to the end, compacted, and then loaded with primer.
"Look at this, it's a ruler, it can be adjusted, how far away you are, you can dial the ruler to how many scales, so that you can ensure the hit rate. Because the bullet is not fired in a straight line. It's parabolic. Gong Xiaoda pointed to the ruler on the gun and said.
"What does the symbol on this scale mean?" Although Liu Baorui was literate, he did not know Arabic numerals.
"It's a big eclipse number. Let me teach you a brief. Wang Xinyu personally taught Liu Baorui. After all, he is a reader, and after a simple teaching, Liu Baorui learned what the numbers on the scale mean.
"What's this unit of count?" Liu Baorui asked again.
"It's the meter of the Tessie people, one meter is roughly equivalent to one step of us, and the length of one meter is about this length." Wang Xinyu stretched out his hand and gestured at the length of one meter.
"My lord, I don't understand the specifics yet." Liu Baorui said helplessly.
Wang Xinyu smiled: "It's okay." When you pass the assessment, I will recruit you into the new class, and someone will naturally teach you. ”
At the beginning of the first round of competition, the two men raised their guns and aimed at a target 50 meters away.
With a voice, Wang Xinyu gave an order. The two men fired one shot each. The target reporter reported the results, and both sides were ten rings.
In the second round, the two retreated to a distance of 100 meters and fired one shot at each target. Soon the target reporter reported the results, and both sides were ten rings. In the third round of the competition, the two shot from a distance of 150 meters, and it was another two amazing ten rings!
After entering the fourth round of the competition, shooting at a distance of 200 meters, Gong Xiaoda only hit a nine-ring, while Liu Baorui still had a ten-ring!
When the target reporter reported the results, everyone was in a stir.
"Awesome! Little brother, where did you learn this hand? Wang Xinyu asked.
Liu Baorui's face was a little red, he touched the back of his head embarrassedly, and then arched his hand and said: "Back to my lord, my subordinates don't know what's going on, but when I picked up the firearm from recruit training, I had a feeling of liking it very much." At the beginning, I practiced a wooden gun, and every time I aimed, my subordinates were still thinking about whether the wind would have an impact on the projectile, and there was still a distance. I don't know what's wrong, but as soon as I pick up the gun, I can shoot it at any time. ”
"Genius! Genius indeed! Wang Xinyu said with a smile, "General Ben has established a new branch of troops, called snipers, and you will be the first person in this sniper army in the future!" But there's still a lot to learn, and General Ben will teach you how to stealth, how to find important targets, and how to survive in the wild! Little brother, do a good job! I hope you can kill more Tartars! ”
"Thank you, sir!" Liu Baorui thanked him again and again. As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Wanqing, who was standing not far away, and saw that the girl's eyes were different when she looked at her, and she became a little adoring from her original disdain.
Wang Xinyu then selected three other new musketeers to join the snipers, including Chen Shuigen.
Then all the recruits were arranged, and according to the assessment results, the recruits of the new battalion were assigned to different units and served in different arms. Wang Xinyu and Liu Qi assigned the recruits according to the assessment results. The list of recruits was quickly filled out and sent to each officer who came to take them in.
Among them, several recruits with particularly good grades were directly selected into the special combat team, and Chen Jinnan came to take them away.
Liu Qi posted another list of recruits and asked the recruits to see for themselves.
The veteran officer who led the team took the list, walked up to the recruit team, called out the recruits assigned to him one by one, gathered them one by one, and then brought them back to their barracks. After a short time, the school field was empty, and almost all the recruits were taken back, leaving only Liu Baorui, Chen Shuigen and the other two recruits who were selected by Wang Xinyu.
"My lord, where are we going to report now?" Seeing that no one came to claim him, Liu Baorui anxiously asked Wang Xinyu.
"Come to my house with Ben first! I'm going to live with my own soldiers for the time being, and I'll be picking a few more snipers from among the veterans in the next few days, and then I'll find you instructors. When everything is ready, you will have your own barracks and training grounds! As for your treatment, you will be treated the same as your own soldiers! But in the end, we have to take a separate assessment! If you can't pass it, you can only be assigned to other troops! Wang Xinyu knew that he hadn't prepared yet, and the snipers had no place to live, so he could only temporarily arrange them to live in his own house and live with his own soldiers.
"Gone! Come with us! Li Rui beckoned to the four snipers who had just been selected.
Luo Xiang asked someone to bring four horses and asked Liu Baorui to get on the horses and walk with them.
Chen Shuigen and the other two happily got on the horse, although they didn't know how to ride a horse, but it was still okay to learn to ride on horseback like others, and they didn't have to gallop anyway.
"Back to my lord, my subordinates don't know how to ride horses." Liu Baorui said to Luo Xiang with a red face.
"I'll help you get on the horse!" Luo Xiang said. As he spoke, he asked Liu Baorui to step on the stirrup with his left foot first, and then support his waist to push him up. Liu Baorui climbed for a long time, and with the help of Luo Xiang, it was easy to climb onto the horse's back, but because he was too nervous, his right foot could not be put into the stirrup for a long time, so he had to hug the horse's neck hard. At this time, the war horse snorted, shook his head, and frightened Liu Baorui so much that his hand was loosened, and his whole body leaned back, and he actually fell off the horse's back and fell on his back facing the sky.
Seeing this scene, Wanqing turned her head and couldn't help laughing, but she gently spit out two words in her mouth: "What stupid!" ”
Several female soldiers laughed, and Qingya whispered in Wanqing's ear: "Sister, you shouldn't have taken a fancy to this nerd, right?" ”
"Good girl! Tell you to talk nonsense again! Wanqing turned her head and pretended to be angry and beat the green sprouts.
Qingya smiled and dodged the pink fist that was beaten, and several female soldiers giggled and made a fuss.
Luo Xiang pulled Liu Baorui up: "Forget it, you can follow us when you walk, it's not very far anyway." ”
After Wang Xinyu left the recruit camp with his own soldiers, the once lively recruit camp was deserted all of a sudden, leaving only a group of instructors inside, waiting for the arrival of the next batch of recruits.
When he returned to the house, Wang Xinyu began to prepare for the formation of a sniper battalion. He first asked the soldiers to go to an open space near the youth camp, and then organized the soldiers of the youth camp, and then brought in a group of auxiliaries to start building a sniper training camp. According to the barracks he designed, the sniper training camp has barracks, a shooting range, various training equipment, a horse gallery, a cultural classroom, a sentry outside, and other soldiers to protect the snipers.
Snipers need to learn a variety of projects, need to learn mathematics, learn Arabic numerals, learn to judge the direction of the wind and other cultural lessons, but also have a special person to teach them how to hide, find targets, and survive in the wild. In addition, horseback riding, the use of various weapons, and hand-to-hand combat are also required to be learned.
The instructors for the cultural training were selected from the foreigners of the mercenary units, and some of the instructors for skill training were selected from the special combat units.
The trained snipers will be assigned to different units according to their level, and the best ones will be assigned to the special combat team, and the others will be assigned to the front-line units.
When Wang Xinyu was busy setting up a sniper training camp, Chen Jinnan came to the door and brought a person.
"This strong man's name is Deng Hong, and it was so easy for us to find such a person who could speak well, and he volunteered to go to Yunnan to find Liu Xuanchu." Chen Jinnan said.
"Knock on Wang Junmen!" Deng Hong bowed.
"Mr. Deng's trip to Yunnan can be described as a life of nine deaths, you have to think about it carefully!" Wang Xinyu nodded slightly. (To be continued......)
