Chapter 631 Difficulty
Now Lola's status is different. She is no longer a candidate for the Phantom Force, but a member of the King's Defense.
Magus handled the formalities for a simple reason: Lola's physical condition does not allow her to join the army.
It stands to reason that Gao Guang should leave after he succeeds, but the situation does not allow it now. One is that the rookie trio has not yet completed the recruit period, and the other is that the King's Defense has opponents here every day to exercise. Being able to treat the Phantom Force as an imaginary enemy is not only a rare treat, but also rare in the world.
In addition, Magus is unwilling to let Gao Guang and the others go. Seeing that Magus is getting more and more anxious, he doesn't know what he is waiting for.
Gao Guang doesn't care about those things. His current life is very comfortable.
Every day is like a vacation, and he can practice shooting. Why rush to leave?
Gao Guang picked up a Remington M700, and Lola took her AWM. The two walked towards a bird helicopter together.
It snowed for three consecutive days. Now the snow has stopped. It's time to go hunting, no, it's time to do sniper training.
The helicopter was flying in the mountains. Gao Guang was looking at the ground. He was just looking at it blindly as if he was appreciating the scenery. But Lola was different. Her eyes were serious and sharp.
Suddenly, Lola pointed to a cliff below, and then she said excitedly: "Look there, bighorn sheep"
Gao Guang looked in the direction of Lola's finger. There were several gray spots moving on the black stone cliff. He raised the telescope and found that they were argali with big horns.
Gao Guang put down the telescope and said, "Is the meat of the argali delicious?"
"Not bad, very flavorful, but not as delicious as venison. I like bighorn sheep."
That's all. Gao Guang pointed to the cliff where the argali was and said with a smile, "Hey, find a place to put us down."
Below the cliff was a steep slope, below the steep slope was a gentle slope, and there were trees on the gentle slope. The pilot looked and pointed to the place where the steep slope slowed down and said, "We will land here. I will pick you up after you pack up the prey. Hi, I wish you a good ride."
Gao Guang didn't remember seeing this pilot, but the pilot was very enthusiastic about him, so he should have seen him before. This is the advantage of the Phantom Force's Arena Training Center. The people here either took his money or stained his blood, and they have good relationships.
The helicopter landed, and it was a difficult semi-hanging, that is, one side of the landing gear landed and the other side was in the air. Just to send Gao Guang hunting, the pilot was willing to perform aerobatics instead of throwing him far away on the top of the mountain.
What can I say, it's just good relationships, there's nothing I can do.
Gao Guang and Lola jumped off the helicopter. This was the windward side, and the snow was not very thick, so the two of them did not walk towards the cliff where the argali was active, but went down the gentle slope.
The activity was a little difficult, and Gao Guang was afraid that he would roll down accidentally, but Lola seemed to be very familiar with it, and she was very happy to be able to conduct this shooting training. She was extremely happy.
Putting a backpack on the ground, Lola looked up at the cliff, then she raised the telescope and said: "The distance is about 500 meters, the height difference is very large, at least 300 meters, and the shooting is very difficult. The target is on the windward side, and we are leeward, which is good for shooting, but it may scare away the prey."
After speaking, Lola put down the telescope, she smiled at Gao Guang and said: "Come on, it's time to test you."
Gao Guang had nothing to say. He also put the canvas backpack on the ground, looked around, found a big enough stone, walked over to put the gun on it, adjusted the angle of upward shooting, and after searching, found the largest argali through the scope.
"You are aiming at the head sheep. Don't shoot the head sheep. If the head sheep dies, it will be difficult for the whole flock to survive the winter. Moreover, the head sheep are mature and old rams. Their meat is very hard and not tasty."
Lola squatted down beside Gao Guang. She raised the telescope again. After observing for a while, she pointed to a argali on the cliff and said, "This one is better. It is a young ewe within two years. It has no lambs. The meat is tender and will not affect the population too much. The distance is 512 meters, the wind speed is 7, the wind is downwind, and the temperature is below zero... 21 degrees Celsius."
Lola can already count in meters instead of yards, but when reporting the temperature, she needs to think briefly to change Fahrenheit to Celsius.
You can't test shoot when hunting. If you test shoot, all the prey will run away. So why Lola has a high first-shot hit rate is because she has really practiced for many years.
Gao Guang aimed at the ewe that Lola pointed to. He thought about it and thought carefully and carefully about how the instructor taught the upward shooting.
Memorizing the ballistic table is the basic skill of every sniper, but the ballistics of upward shooting and side shooting are different. The distance is 500 meters, and the drop is at least 300 meters. This shot is very difficult.
But Gao Guang thought it should be okay. He aimed and planned to shoot.
However, Lola knew where Gao Guang's weakness or defect was. At the moment before Gao Guang was about to pull the trigger, Lola suddenly said: "Have you considered the impact of low temperature on the barrel?" ""
Thermal expansion and cold contraction, the same is true for guns. At low temperatures, the barrel is too cold, which will cause changes in the trajectory. Therefore, in extremely cold areas, the first shot is often inaccurate. Fire one shot, wait for the barrel to heat up, and then shoot the second shot. It will be much more accurate.
This is the significance of sniper test shooting, but there is often no test shooting opportunity in actual combat, so those who can hit long-distance targets in the first shot in extremely cold weather are the real masters.
Gao Guang really forgot the effect of low temperature on the barrel, but he didn't know how to adjust it, because adjustment requires extreme familiarity with the gun, bullets and trajectory, so that it will not be affected no matter how the shooting conditions change.
So Gao Guang's gun couldn't be fired.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, Gao Guang thought for a moment, and then he whispered: "The trajectory will be low, right?"
If Lola wants to give instructions to Gao Guang, then she needs to be very familiar with the gun in Gao Guang's hand, familiar with the scope, and make a comprehensive judgment on the distance, wind speed, elevation angle and temperature. And that's not all, she must also be familiar with Gao Guang as a person.
Gao Guang's shooting habits and aiming methods must be very clear before Lola can give guidance to Gao Guang's shot.
After thinking for a moment, Lola whispered: "Raise the zero point three mils."
Lola said, Gao Guang did, and then he fired a shot.
The gun went off, and Gao Guang's shoulders shook, so his scope left the original aiming position, causing him to temporarily lose his vision. But when he quickly used the scope to search for the argali again, he heard Lola whispered: "Good shot, hit."
Awesome, really awesome.
From this shot, it can be seen that awesomeness is definitely not exaggerated.
Of course, Lola is awesome.
Sure enough, if Gao Guang were to shoot by himself, then his shot would definitely be very high, passing about one meter above the argali, and then the sheep would start to flee. Their hunting this time, not this, their training this time would end in failure.
Bullet, hit the prey at 500 meters, high altitude, big drop, upward shooting, and kill with one shot, everyone knows how difficult this is.
But the really scary thing is that this shot was not fired by Lola, she was the deputy shooter.
It is difficult to accurately describe the difficulty of this shot, and it cannot be reflected in quantitative data. I can only say that among all the snipers in the world, the number of those who can do this step can probably be counted on one hand.
But all this was so natural to Lola. She didn't think she had done anything remarkable. Instead, she put down the telescope and said happily, "There's mutton to eat. I'll go carry the prey back." The argali was on the cliff. After being shot, it began to roll down and fall, and fell all the way to the steep slope. It fell dozens of meters on the rocks on the steep slope, and finally stopped. If she wanted to pick up the prey, Lola needed to crawl on the rocks at least 200 meters high, about 400 to 500 meters away. "I'll go with you." "No, don't move, don't follow me, be careful of falling rocks." Lola carried the empty bag on her back and climbed up the steep slope happily. Gao Guang thought about it and felt that it was a bit embarrassing for him to watch a delicate girl carry the prey down, so he changed the route and climbed up after ensuring that she would not be hit by the falling rocks. Gao Guang's speed was not slow. When Lola arrived next to the argali, he was almost there. Then he heard Lola happily say: "This sheep is very big, I can't take it back directly. What's worse is that the bones will be broken when it falls, and the internal organs will definitely be ruptured, and the meat will be contaminated, so we only need to take the meat back."
After saying this, Lola pulled out the skinning knife that she never left, and then started to skin the argali with one cut.
Gao Guang was dumbfounded, because Lola's movements were so skillful that it made people feel distressed.
Her hands were full of blood, and her body was inevitably rubbed with some, but Lola's movements were really fast, and then she also removed the leg of the sheep, untied the large piece of meat, and put it on a piece of plastic sheet.
"It's a pity that the internal organs are not needed, but the sheepskin can be taken away. Okay, we can go down."
It took ten minutes in total. Lola had already disassembled the argali, rolled the sheepskin into a bundle, wrapped the mutton with plastic sheeting and stuffed it into a backpack with a frame, then she carried the bag, put the sheepskin outside, and prepared to go down.
Gao Guang watched the whole process, and Lola had no intention of letting him share the weight.
"I can actually carry some, you don't have to carry it all by yourself."
"Forget it, I'd rather take care of a city person like you myself, let's go down, be careful."
Gao Guang couldn't tell what his mentality was, he habitually touched his pocket and found that there was no candy.
The candy was gone, after all, it had been a few months.
Gao Guang felt it necessary to order some more candy to be sent over.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from Gao Guang's intercom.
"Mad dog, mad dog! Where are you, mad dog, where are you!"
Magnus' voice was urgent and fast. Gao Guang was stunned for a moment. He picked up the intercom and said, "I'm here."
"No matter where you are, come back! Come back immediately, don't hunt, come back soon!"
Magnus' voice didn't sound particularly anxious, but particularly happy. Gao Guang was stunned for a moment, and finally said, "What happened?"
"The people of Trident, they accepted the challenge!"
Magnus was so excited that he sounded like he was about to cry. He was a little trembling with excitement. He shouted in the intercom: "Thanks to my efforts, the navy finally couldn't bear it anymore. They agreed to hold a joint exercise!"
Under the effect of Magnus's persistent ridicule and hatred, the navy finally felt that they couldn't hold their face anymore, and they finally accepted the challenge.
Gao Guang sighed and said, "Great, we can go now. I'll go back right away. Well, I'll go back right away."
