Girls und War

Some simulated battlefield environments, such as obstacles and barbed wire, were set up in the camp to allow the recruits to experience the feeling of a battlefield.

The explanation about being fully armed also gradually began.

The recruits also gained a comprehensive understanding of items such as helmets, bullet-proof vests, and bullet bags that add weight.

At this time, someone will raise a question: Are helmets useful on the battlefield?

After all, you see, a bullet flying from the front can penetrate steel plates that are tens of millimeters thick.

Can the thin layer of iron on the helmet really protect against bullets?

This doesn't really require much thought.

If a sniper wants to shoot you in the head, a helmet will definitely not be able to protect you.

One shot can penetrate both sides.

But it is obviously not true to say that helmets have no effect at all.

After all, you have to wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle, not to mention on the battlefield.

In fact, with the helmet manufacturing technology used in modern battlefields, most bullets shot from ordinary police pistols will ricochet.

Some rifle bullets can be deflected if they hit the helmet at the wrong angle, not to mention the protection against shrapnel and gravel, which is even better.

The same goes for bulletproof vests.

If you are shot head-on on the battlefield, nine out of ten people will not survive. But with a helmet and a bulletproof vest, the chance of survival will be greatly increased.

So, in order to survive, a soldier is asked to carry dozens of kilograms of equipment. Would he be happy?

He wished he could dress like Iron Man and be invulnerable to swords and guns.

Another issue is the bullet bag.

How many bullets should a soldier in modern warfare carry?

Some would say the more the better.

actually not.

Carrying too much will affect the soldiers' operational efficiency and reduce their chances of survival.

Generally speaking, if you have enough ammunition, it is best to carry the amount of ammunition depending on the situation.

An assaulter is best to carry five or six magazines, which is about 150 rounds of bullets; a machine gunner may carry three or four ammunition boxes, which is about 300 rounds of machine gun bullets; and a sniper will carry much less ammunition, 30 rounds of various sniper rifle bullets are more than enough, and they will carry the remaining space for pistol bullets for self-defense.

In addition, there is a grenadier position on the battlefield. This position is not just for throwing grenades. They also carry a large amount of spare bullets for battlefield supply use.

The training method for the new recruits is close to the most basic and common assaulter position.

They are trained to carry nearly 30 kilograms of weight, including helmets, bullet-proof vests, bullet bags, weighted guns, weighted grenade belts, etc.

This is also the standard weight for assault troops in full-gear sprint training (commonly known as the "full-gear five-kilometer" run, a military nightmare).

Of course, it is not feasible to let the new recruits fully experience the pain of training, simply increase the difficulty of training, and add weight-bearing equipment to tactical training.

Their negative emotions will grow wildly.

There is another sweet date at this time.

That's shooting training, it's coming!

When was the happiest moment for you as a soldier?

Of course it’s time to shoot!

Most people don’t understand the joy of shooting.

But these girls in the recruit company have been looking forward to it for more than a month.

Are you kidding? Why join the army?

Of course it’s for – from the military newspaper area!

How do I report from the military reporting area?

Shoot the bullets at the enemy!

However, at the beginning, the new recruits cannot be allowed to start working right away.

After all, guns are dangerous items and require periodic training.

They must first learn how to use, aim and maintain guns.

Otherwise it would be a pure waste of bullets.

Of course, they have a lot of bullets and are not afraid of wasting them.

But what if you hit someone? What if something goes wrong?

This kind of thing must be handled with extreme caution.

The squad leaders began to teach shooting amid the recruits' strong anticipation.

The first thing is aiming.

Start learning from the most basic three points and one line.

That is, aiming training of eyes, crosshairs and targets is carried out in a simulated shooting range like a game room.

The eyesight of the recruits is very good, everyone has a naked eye vision of 5.0, and none of them are nearsighted.

In other words, humans no longer have the concept of myopia.

After they become familiar with the ability to aim, the next step is to learn how to use a gun.

How to load bullets, how to open the safety, how to load the chamber, and how to shoot.

What does shooting gear mean? What are single shot, three-shot burst, and automatic burst?

After learning every detail, the day finally arrived for my first shooting experience.

Xia Shu has waited for so long——

Finally, the day has come for me to pretend.

She was sure that she had maxed out this skill tree.

After all, she was an ordinary special forces sniper when she was alive.

33. Preparation for Target Practice

After the morning roll call, all the students from each class returned to the dormitory.

There is no other training scheduled for today.

But everyone is looking forward to it.

It is very rare that there is not a single injured or sick person in the medical team even though it is not a rest day.

The medical squad leader had a rare holiday-like leisure time.

The new recruits were all in the dormitory, taking apart their precious guns and cleaning them again and again.

The squad leaders carefully checked the guns in everyone's hands to ensure that there were no problems with the parts and that there would be no dangerous phenomena such as bursting of the barrel or accidental discharge.

Then each squad and platoon gathered on their own at the training ground, waiting for the time of action.

Today they are going out of the camp to practice shooting at the shooting range.

Everyone's expressions were extremely excited.

The joy of shooting for the first time; and the joy of getting out of the camp.

Two happy things coincide with each other——

And these two joys bring them more joy.

What you get is a happy time like a dream.

No reason!

It’s a happy time like a dream!

Double the training! Double the fun!

At this moment, they are fearless!

Even if we have a few more tactical training sessions, no one will complain about being tired!

So the squad leaders asked the new recruits to go through another round of tactical training.

Of course they didn't bring guns. These new recruits were not very careful with their weapons, and if sand got into the barrel of their gun, it would be a disaster.

Then they sat there breathlessly, listening to the squad leader talk about other battlefield common sense.

"Fire suppression and fire coverage are actually two different concepts," Jiang Jiang said in a baby voice. "The fire suppression we face, in the usual sense, refers to the continuous, covering fire of light and heavy machine guns on the battlefield. The tactical significance of this action is to leverage firepower advantages in defense, or to cover infantry charges in offense—to protect our own soldiers and annihilate the enemy."

"Fire coverage refers to the use of various types of artillery or aircraft to carry out long-range strikes, such as saturation carpet bombing, on a strategic location.

"Of course, you don't have to consider these tactics. Just listen to your commander's instructions. Do whatever your superior tells you to do. That's the right thing to do."

Jiang Jiang was talking there, and the recruits opened their eyes wide and listened very attentively.

After all, these details are not only related to one's own battlefield safety, but also the most interesting part of the story of joining the army.

Xia Shu also remembered the response measures for the enemy's call for artillery support during sniper training.

There are too many to recall all at once.

Jiang Jiang seemed to be intrigued by the description of the battlefield and continued enthusiastically, "As an assaulter, you don't need to have a deep understanding of the concept of fire suppression. You just need to know that when you need to call for support, you should do so. The shooting technique that assaulters need to master is how to shoot effectively—that is, how to shoot quickly and accurately.

"When the time comes, some of your new recruits will move closer to the positions of machine gunners and snipers. It won't be too late to study the tactical details then."

When Jiang-chan said this, Xia Shu was the only one who wasn't listening at all.

She knew enough about these tactical common sense, even more than all the non-commissioned officers present.

To her, these were all survival guides that she had memorized by heart and there was no need to learn them again.

Jiang Jiang then talked about some tactical essentials of a machine gunner. Only then did the new recruits realize that Jiang Jiang's combat position on the battlefield was that of an experienced machine gunner.

After a while, when it was almost time to assemble, the third platoon leader, Lieutenant Lazy Bear, who had not been seen for many days, finally opened his sleepy eyes and came to the vicinity of the third platoon.

This lieutenant, who always has a lazy expression on his face, never appears on the training ground except during roll call.

Smile saw her and gave her a teasing expression.

"Platoon Leader Little Bear, please come and supervise our training today."

Rilakkuma poked Smiling's cheek with his finger, a half-annoyed expression on his face.

"Soldiers may not ridicule their superiors."

"I think you shouldn't go. It has nothing to do with you anyway."

"You must be kidding! Target practice is such an important matter! Captain Fengqi will eat me alive if I don't go!"

After all, target shooting is an important and dangerous training, which is different from the house-playing training we experienced before.

It is really unacceptable that a platoon leader does not show up.

She smiled and curled her lips, seeming to disagree with the lieutenant's words.

This lazy lieutenant has been slacking off all day, and this time is no exception.

Xia Shu listened to their idle chat while glancing around.

She saw many unfamiliar figures on the training ground.

For example, the platoon leaders of the first and second platoons, Captain Fengqi and Lieutenant White Gloves; the squad leader of the logistics class; the course instructor Viper; and the squinty-eyed company commander, Major Fake Sleep.

All officers and soldiers of the recruit company were mobilized.

It seemed that this shooting was regarded as an extremely important military activity.

Xia Shu understood very well.

If casualties occur due to carelessness, all commanders present will be held accountable.

But Xia Shu felt that this situation was impossible.

After all, with modern medical technology, no matter how serious the injury is, it can be rescued as long as the body is not destroyed at the cellular level.
