Soldiers Assault: Starting from the 7th Steel Company

Chapter 98 We are not killing people, but saving people

When Chen Jiang came back with the sniper rifle, almost everyone except Team A stared at him as if he were a monster.

the reason is simple,
Except for the first shot which was a little off the target, the other bullets were almost all near the center of the target.

Is this something humans can do?
Meng Chao was extremely shocked. He knew this gun very well and the trajectory of the bullet was a bit too far to the right.

Chen Jiang definitely had never fired this gun before, so his first shot must have been a test shot. Even so, it hit the target. This is really outrageous.

So when Chen Jiang handed the gun back to him, he was too ashamed to look him in the eye.

Chen Jiang proved with his own actions that as long as the skills are high enough, it is entirely possible to achieve targeted sniping at that position.

If criminals really want to rob the execution ground, such a sniper position will definitely cause huge casualties to the police.

This is still an 85 sniper rifle. What if it is a more advanced high-precision sniper rifle?
Meng Chao didn't dare to think about it any further.

Frog in the well,

Arrogant!

His mind is now full of words like this.

"Heroes truly emerge young! Now I understand why your A Battalion is known as the nemesis of the Type A troops. With such incredible strength, regular troops are truly helpless against you!"

Captain Liu praised Chen Jiang highly. If it weren't for the fact that Team A had already taken the lead, he would even have the urge to poach him.

If there is a sniper like this to support you when you are performing a mission, you will feel more confident.

"Report! I request the floor!"

Chen Jiang suddenly asked to speak.

Now everyone is very convinced of him and will naturally give him enough say.

Director Zhao also nodded encouragingly, "Chen Jiang, just say whatever you want to say."

"Just now when I was preparing to shoot, I suddenly discovered a new situation."

"What's going on?" Director Zhao and Captain Liu asked at the same time.

Chen Jiang squatted down and used a branch to draw a map of the current terrain on the ground.
"Leaders, please look here. This is my shooting position just now. If we want to suppress our area with sniping, there is a blind spot, which is these big trees."

"So I had a sudden idea. If we want to be absolutely sure, we need to create a sniper crossfire. So I guess the enemy might have deployed a sniper in this position to the east!"

Chen Jiang's inference is very bold, but also very logical, because based on the current situation, such a possibility cannot be completely ruled out.

"That's not right," Director Zhao thought for a moment and asked curiously, "If there really was a sniper in that position, then why didn't they take action when we were executing him just now? Because if we had fired from the position you mentioned, we would still have suffered heavy casualties, and there would still be a certain chance that the criminal would have been rescued during the chaos."

"Yes, judging from the angle, our several defensive sniper positions may not be able to reach that place. It should be considered a blind spot." Meng Chao didn't dare to be careless now. He was also reflecting on the shortcomings of his work. It was just that there was a steep cliff with an inclination of nearly 90 degrees, so he really didn't take that place into consideration when arranging the sniper positions.

Yuan Lang didn't say anything and continued to wait quietly for Chen Jiang's explanation. He had confidence in his men.

Chen Jiang hesitated for a while, then boldly expressed his thoughts.
"Report, I've been thinking about the same question on the way here. It was extremely confusing at first because it didn't make sense. But then I put myself in his shoes and thought about it, and I came up with a guess. If I already knew that the person being executed wasn't the drug lord himself, there would be no need to gamble everything and waste our troops. If it were me, I would also order the operation to be terminated!"

Before Chen Jiang finished speaking, although Director Zhao and Captain Liu had tried their best to conceal their feelings, it was still easy to see from their eyes that they were inexplicably shocked.

"Alright, Chen Jiang, get back to the team! It's almost time for us to leave!"

Yuan Lang had already gotten the answer he wanted, so he didn't want Chen Jiang to continue talking. For some things, other people have their own considerations, and it would be bad to explain too much.

After the three parties exchanged pleasantries for a while, Yuan Lang led the team back. However, when Chen Jiang was getting on the bus, Meng Chao ran over to apologize to him for his rude words to him at the beginning.

Of course Chen Jiang didn't care. They were all soldiers, so it was normal to be frank. It was much better than hiding everything.

In the car, he discovered a problem, that is, Xu Sanduo's expression was extremely unnatural, and he kept staring blankly out the window.

He understood that Xu Sanduo might have been upset by the execution just now. After all, he was a very kind person at heart and never wanted to hurt others.

Yuan Lang may have also discovered this, so he must bring everyone out to watch the execution today. Perhaps it is mainly to give Xu Sanduo a chance to adapt in advance.

Raise an army for a thousand days and deploy it for a moment.
It is impossible for their elite troops to be busy with training and exercises all the time.

If it is a good knife, you need to use it more often, otherwise it will easily rust.

"Xu Sanduo!"

Yuan Lang called him from the car, but Xu Sanduo seemed oblivious.

It wasn't until Wu Liuyi next to him poked him with his arm that he suddenly came to his senses and stood up with a "whoosh". As a result, he came into close contact with the roof of the car.

The muffled sound made everyone a little stunned.

Of course, Xu Sanduo was the one who could empathize the most, his head was buzzing from being hit.

"Xu Sanduo, did you not get enough rest?"

"Report, no."

Yuan Lang walked from the front row to the back, then found an empty seat and sat down.
"Then why haven't you spoken?"

"Report, what did I say? I'm not very good at speaking."

Xu Sanduo was still as dull as ever, and Wu Liuyi beside him kept shaking his head.

But Yuan Lang obviously didn't care about this. He kindly counseled Xu Sanduo,

"Did today's execution excite you a little?"

"No, um, it's okay." Xu Sanduo was a little incoherent.

"Report! He just doesn't talk much, but the death row prisoners we saw today are all people who have committed heinous crimes. Give him some time, he will adapt!"

Wu Liuyi was afraid that Xu Sanduo would say something inappropriate, so he tried to smooth things over.

"Xu Sanduo, the guns in our hands are not just for shooting targets. We still have to see blood and kill the enemy at critical moments!" Yuan Lang patiently guided.

"Captain, how many people have you killed?" a team member asked curiously at this time.

Yuan Lang smiled slightly, "My number is small, but I have killed dozens of people."

Seeing everyone's surprised look, he waved his hand.

"We don't judge heroes by how many enemies we kill, but only by completing the mission. At a critical moment, killing one enemy might turn the tide, but killing hundreds won't make much of a difference."

"Do you mean the 'decapitation' operation?" Wu Zhe finally took over the conversation at this time.

"Wow, you know about the 'decapitation' operation? Then tell me, what exactly does the 'decapitation' operation mean?" Yuan Lang wanted to test this highly educated talent.

"Of course I know. After the Gulf War, Western European and American countries became very fond of this tactic. They would send small elite troops deep behind enemy lines and kill the commander. 'Decapitation' operations don't mean beheading the enemy leader, but rather leaving the enemy leaderless and unable to command."

Wu Zhe has read a lot of books, so he can talk about it very clearly.

"Very good, very good. Look, this master of optoelectronics has a really impressive amount of reading. Does anyone else have anything to add?"

"Report, I have something to add." Chen Jiang shouted.

Yuan Lang nodded, signaling him to speak.

"'Decapitation' has always been a traditional military concept of our ancestors. 'Taking the head of a general amidst a million-strong army' is its prototype. In modern times, our predecessors have used daring infiltration, attacking the enemy's vital points, or cutting off the enemy's retreat routes to turn the tide of battle. In fact, these are similar to 'decapitation'."

"Therefore, I believe that in modern warfare, 'decapitation' operations are no longer limited to 'decapitation'. The key is to deploy elite special forces to attack the enemy's weakest link, thereby gaining an advantage at the lowest cost and winning the final victory."

Chen Jiang's point of view is quite novel, and it may not even be found in books, but it makes a lot of sense, so most people in the car couldn't help but applaud.

Even a top student like Wu Zhe did not raise any objections.

Seeing that no one continued to add, Yuan Lang waited until everyone quieted down before continuing,
"What Chen Jiang said is very interesting. It can be said that he has described the use of special forces almost exactly, but there is one thing you said that is wrong!"

"what?"

Chen Jiang didn't react for a moment.

"Modern warfare is no longer confined to traditional machine guns, artillery, missiles, and other high-tech beyond-visual-range weapons. This has fundamentally transformed traditional warfare. Therefore, if you want to attack an enemy's weak points or eliminate an enemy commander, you can still accomplish this through precision guidance."

Yuan Lang has practical experience in this area, so he can see further than ordinary people and has deeper insights.

"Some people might ask, why do we need special forces like us?"

"On the surface, it seems that future battlefields will be high-tech battles, and individual combat will no longer keep up with the times. However, I don't completely agree with this view. When both sides are equally matched military powers, advanced weaponry will eventually be exhausted, and the remaining infantry will become the key to victory. Therefore, troops like us must be fully prepared to respond."

"The guns in our hands shouldn't be simply defined as weapons for killing," Yuan Lang said, glancing at Xu Sanduo. "If we don't kill the enemy, our compatriots, our friends, and our loved ones might be killed by the enemy. If you think about it this way, it's not killing, it's saving!"
