Girls und War

"Assigning new recruits to the front lines... doesn't make sense, does it?" Nana asked with a puzzled expression. "Who are the new recruits in your company? Can you point them out to me?"

Natsuki pointed at himself.

"You?" The other party seemed frightened. "Are you a new recruit?"

"Impossible!" Nanami beside him spit out his food, "I saw you shoot Kanako to death with my own eyes! There's no way a new recruit would be able to do that!"

"I'm really a new recruit. She can testify to that." Xia Shu pointed at the rush.

The two looked at Rush, who nodded and added, "I'm a new recruit too."

The two girls looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

"It's worthy of being a flower district. Even new recruits dare to go to the front line." Nanami exclaimed in amazement.

"Xia Shu! Come here!" Qingxian suddenly shouted from the other side.

Xia Shu responded and ran over quickly.

Several officers were sitting next to the map, waiting for her to come over.

Doragon called Kiki and Xiaotang again and asked them to come over.

"Captain, what's the matter?" Kiki ran over and asked with a smile.

Doragon touched his chin and said to her, "Bring me your sniper rifle."

"Ah?" Qiqi made a bitter face.

"You won't be able to use it anyway."

"Captain - no -" Kiki twisted her body and acted coquettishly.

Xiaotang followed suit and twisted her body to the side, saying expressionlessly, "No—even though I can't hit anything, I can still use it as a firewood stick—"

Kiki glared at her.

"Ah, ah, stop talking nonsense, just bring it when I tell you to!" Doragon said swearing.

Qiqi shrugged and walked weakly to the bedside, took the sniper rifle and placed it on the table.

"Here."

Ignoring Kiki's aggrieved expression, Doragon turned to Xia Shu and said, "Here's the gun. Give your gun to Kiki. Let's see if there's anything we need and talk to the military chief."

Xia Shu nodded and handed the gun on his back to Qiqi.

"As for you two, you will be temporarily added to Team Lei and serve as the front-line reconnaissance team." Doragon said to Kiki and Xiaotang again.

Although Kiki was extremely reluctant, the two agreed.

"What's the point of reconnaissance without a sniper rifle?" Kiki muttered.

Xiaotang didn't even look at her and said, "I think you've hit someone before."

"I want you to take care of it!"

Still ignoring the two, Dragon said to Natsuki, "I'll assign you an observer. Who would you like to go with?"

Not far behind her, Jia and Zhan Zhan both pricked up their ears.

Xia Shu answered without hesitation, "Rush."

The two of them immediately showed lost expressions.

Doragon thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No, I'm not sure about these two new recruits. How about rice balls?"

"Either is fine." Xia Shu replied.

So Dragon quickly called Onigiri and arranged for her and Natsuki to form a sniper team.

Then he rearranged the positions of each team and added the four new recruits.

Each new recruit was placed in a different group, so that each of the three teams had about ten people.

Only the sniper team was left vacant.

"Let's divide the groups like this for now, and we'll arrange the tasks in detail later." After saying this, Doragon pointed at Natsuki and Fantuan, "You two will have Fantuan as the team leader."

Both nodded.

"That's it for now. Xia Shu, do you have any other requests?" she asked Xia Shu again.

Natsuki thought for a moment and replied, "I need to find a place to test the gun."

This matter cannot be taken lightly.

You can't test your gun on the front line, as it will easily attract the enemy.

Got to find a safe place.

Doragon thought for a moment and came up with an idea.

186. About gun testing

As mentioned before, the gun needs to be calibrated.

In those movies, when the bullets are used up, the guy picks up a gun from the ground and shoots all the enemies in the head with a few shots. That's just telling the story.

If a gun is bumped or scratched, the crosshairs are likely to be slightly tilted.

It's okay within a hundred meters, it won't be too crooked.

If the shooting distance exceeds 200 meters, the bullet will basically have no trace.

So every once in a while, soldiers have to perform calibration.

The Red Dragon Squadron's guns weren't a problem. After all, before the Bug Fang Squadron went offline a few days ago, they had made all the necessary preparations.

There is no need for large-scale gun calibration until the camp is moved.

But high-precision guns like sniper rifles are different.

If you don't shoot a few times to test the feel and then fine-tune the crosshairs, you might not be able to tell the difference between humans and animals from a thousand meters away.

Not to mention hitting people, even hitting a truck is a problem.

So Xia Shu asked to test the gun and used a lot of bullets to test it.

Of course, Doragon understood this, and this request made her more confident in Natsuki's skills.

After all, people who don’t have any level of knowledge don’t know this at all.

Of course, you can't test your gun near the camp. For safety reasons, you can't test your gun in the front line either.

Doragon considered asking her to test the gun in the area near their own mines and where the rear troops were stationed.

It's not too far, about ten kilometers. It only takes half an hour to drive there.

So the next day, when the off-road vehicle from the logistics department arrived, Doragon arranged for a sniper team to go with the off-road vehicle.

The two prisoners were also taken into the car.

Natsuki and Onigiri lifted Nana into the car, and Nanami cooperated and sat in the innermost part of the car.

Doragon greeted the officers from the logistics department, said a few words to Fantuan, and then watched them leave.

The off-road vehicle stepped on the accelerator very high and was bumping along the mountain road at a very fast speed.

This place doesn't feel like flat ground, and they have never ridden in a car with tires like this. They were so bumpy that their butts couldn't even stay on the seats.

Natsuki saw that Nana was not fixed and her body was too light, so she flew up several times and looked very uncomfortable.

So he simply held her in his arms, like a baby.

Nana turned around and smiled gratefully.

The driver wasn't a logistics officer. She sat in the passenger seat, gripping the frame, her expression relaxed as she gazed out over the wilderness. It was as if the driving of the car had nothing to do with her.

There was no one in the driver's seat, only a shadowy figure. A dark mass mimicking a humanoid driver.

Almost no one knows how to drive a vehicle like this, so it's all simulated driving.

But the feeling given is that the driver is an old military driver with seven or eight years of driving experience.

The commander doesn't need to give it too many orders. Just give it a destination and it will naturally drive the car there.

Soon, the off-road vehicle drove along the mountains to the mining area.

Xia Shu saw the armored unit's camp from afar.

There was a large area of ​​military tents with tanks parked inside.

Many dark shadows shuttled through the camp, simulating a busy scene.

The SUV stopped in front of the checkpoint, and the officer greeted the sentry on duty. The roadblock was quickly opened and the vehicle was allowed in.

The off-road vehicle quickly drove to the camp where people were present, and several girls from the logistics department ran over to hand over the prisoners to them.

Xia Shu immediately gave the disabled Nana a princess hug and carried her to the injury tent.

Then he was placed on the hospital bed.

Nana blushed and said thank you.

Xia Shu smiled and said nothing.

Over there, Fantuan was signing and talking to the people from the logistics department.

Xia Shu walked over and asked the idle girl nearby, "Which logistics company are you from?"

The girl turned around and said, "Logistics Company 14."

Xia Shu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

They definitely don’t know that Sheng is in the 75th Company.

Fantuan seemed to have completed the handover and came over to take Xia Shu to get the equipment.

They followed a girl to the armory and filled out an application form. The girl went in and received some sniper bullets, calibrators, gun mounts and other equipment, and handed them to Xia Shu.

"The shooting range is over there. Remember to return your equipment later." The girl said. Xia Shu thanked her and she turned and left.

Fantuan then said that she had some other work and asked Xia Shu to test the gun by himself.

Natsuki said it was no problem and went to the shooting range alone.

Xia Shu didn't know which unit was stationed here, but there were few people at the shooting range.

Because resources on the imaginary battlefield are very precious, shooting training is generally not arranged on the battlefield.

There is no need for physical training, as you won't grow muscles doing it.

For standing troops like these, the most they usually arrange is endurance training and mental training.

The rest of the time is pretty easy.

That is to say, he is on duty more frequently and often runs around.

Most of the fighting was left to the front-line troops.

However, in contrast, the opportunities for promotion and advancement will be much less than those in front-line troops.

There were few people at the shooting range, so Xia Shu was happy to test the gun by himself.

She first disassembled the sniper rifle, wiped it carefully, and performed some maintenance on it.

Then I made a detailed record of the parts data, writing down data such as the length of the barrel and firing pin.

I calculated the data and estimated the range and accuracy.

After that, I went to get the target paper and prepare for the target calibration.

This gun is a bolt-action rifle and is a precision sniper rifle, not a precision shooting rifle.

It should be mentioned here that there are huge differences between precision shooting rifles and sniper rifles in terms of structure and tactical application.

On the surface, most precision-shooting rifles are semi-automatic, single-shot rifles. A few have a fully automatic position, but their chambering capacity is generally less than 20 rounds, which is not enough to fire for long.

Although they have precision scopes like sniper rifles, suitable for high-precision shooting over 500 meters, the semi-automatic loading mechanism is not as stable as the bolt-action mechanism.

Therefore, when it comes to precision shooting above a thousand meters, precision rifles are not as good as sniper rifles.

The operating environment of military firearms can be described as "very harsh" in many ways.
