The second bullet

  "How was it, fun in the mountains?" Ye Yun Tian asked Ye Ren as he walked behind him with his gun slung over his shoulder.

  "Fun. Dad, why are you always carrying a gun?" Ye Ren asked.

  "This mountain outside Nanjiang City is called Guangwu Mountain. The natural environment of Guangwu Mountain is very good, with a large number of wild animals, and they are all precious wild animals, so poaching activities are rampant. Our forest rangers have an important responsibility to protect these rare wild animals." Ye Yuntian explained.

  Apart from a large area near the city with highways passing through, and some resort villas built along the road, most of the other areas of Guangmusan are pristine forests that are rarely visited by humans.

  In the primeval forest of Guangmushan, there are many wild animals living here, among which a number of them belong to national first and second-class protected animals.

  Due to the proximity of Gunung Lumut to the border, and the presence of a large number of high-value animals living there, poaching activities are rampant. The vast majority of these poachers are armed foreign nationals.

  They secretly crossed the border into our country, deep into the Guangwu Mountains, hunting animals, and then quickly transferred outside the national border.

  Relying solely on the border defense and public security forces is clearly insufficient to control poaching activities in such a large mountainous area.

  So, for the first time nationwide, there were a large number of forest rangers, all equipped with guns and bullets, who patrolled the mountains while enforcing laws against poaching.

  Of course, it is unrealistic to expect a single ranger to take down an entire poaching gang. The rangers' tactics are to call for backup via radio as soon as they spot their target, and other rangers will gather around. Meanwhile, the police will be notified and will rush to reinforce with all due haste.

  Forest rangers are responsible for monitoring and detaining poaching gangs until police apprehend them.

  Among all the foresters, Yeyuntian, a sniper who retired from the best reconnaissance battalion in Nanjiang Military Region of China and had been on the battlefield, is undoubtedly the best among these foresters.

  Firearms were like old friends to Ye Yuntian.

  "Dad, aren't you going to teach me how to shoot?" Ye Ren asked.

  "Come on, let's go ahead, it's open space up front," said Ye Yuntian.

  Two people turned over a hillside and walked onto an open grassland.

  Ye Yuntian found a flat place to sit down, took off the rifle on his back, held it in his hand, pulled the bolt, and ejected a bullet.

  "A gun is a tool with lethal power. The principle of a gun is simple: pulling the trigger, the hammer strikes, striking the primer, the primer ignites, the propellant burns, hot air expands and compresses, driving the bullet out of the barrel, hitting the target. However, the lethality of a gun is extremely high, just one bullet can eliminate an enemy."

  "So guns are really bad things?"

  "No, a gun is a violent tool, and that can't be denied. But you have to know, the gun itself is neither good nor bad. If it's in the hands of a bad person, then it will harm society. And if it's in the hands of a good person, then it can eliminate the bad guys and protect society. So, is a gun good or bad?" Ye Yun Tian asked.

  "I get it, if the owner of the gun is a good person, then the gun is good. This logic isn't that hard."

  "It's not difficult, the difficulty lies in that we need to use violence to stop violence, take away others' lives to prevent them from bringing greater harm to us and what we protect, the psychological barrier we need to overcome when doing so."

  "It sounds so profound, I don't understand," said Ye Ren.

  For a ten-year-old Ye Ren, this kind of truth is obviously somewhat profound. So it's no wonder that Ye Ren didn't understand at all.

  "Sooner or later you'll understand. Come on, I'll teach you how to shoot first." Yeh Yun Tian handed the bullets he took out to Yeh Ren.

  "Remember, for a sniper 'one shot, one kill' is one bullet, one enemy eliminated."

  I remember.

  Ye Yuntian handed the rifle over to Ye Ren's hands.

  "Press the gun butt against your shoulder, with your line of sight and aiming line level. Look through the sighting device, see the aiming mark clearly, move the aiming mark onto the target."

  Ye Yuntian was teaching Ye Ren how to use a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle bit by bit.

  For Ye Ren, the length of this semi-automatic rifle 56 was still a bit long, so Ye Ren didn't use it very smoothly.

  But at the moment Ye Ren grasped the gun, Ye Yuntian felt something different.

  It was a wonderful feeling, just like it was meant to be.

  Ye Ren's index finger slowly pressed down on the trigger.

  Ye Yuntian did not instruct Ye Ren this time, but instead waited for Ye Ren to choose his own actions.

  Ye Ren was holding a gun for the first time, but unlike most people, he didn't put his index finger on the middle of the trigger.

  Ye Ren's index finger pressed against the very end of the trigger, maintaining a distance of about two to three millimeters from the trigger guard.

  This is the most correct posture for a sniper to pull the trigger.

  Sniping shots and general combat shots are different. When using a sniper rifle, the pursuit is accurate shooting, so the trigger pull action should be slow and stable, and there can be no sudden forceful situations. Sudden forceful situations will cause irregular vibrations of the gun, which will be amplified at the muzzle and loaded onto the external trajectory after the bullet leaves the barrel, resulting in shooting deviations.

  So, snipers generally slowly pull the trigger with uniform force and hold the outermost part of the trigger to get the smallest trigger force, in order to minimize vibration at the moment of firing.

  When using assault rifles for medium to close range firefights, the pursuit is speed and reliability, while allowing a larger deviation in bullet trajectory than long-range sniping. Therefore, there are no specific requirements for where to hold the trigger, as long as the trigger is pulled all the way down in the shortest time possible, and the bullets are fired at the target, an advantage has already been gained.

  Bang!

  After pulling the trigger back to a certain position, the gun body suddenly shook violently and a loud noise rang out.

  Ye Ren only felt a pain in his shoulder first, and then a deafening sound rang out.

  Ye Ren, who was completely unprepared, was startled and jumped up suddenly, throwing the gun to one side.

  In shooting, a series of mechanical actions triggered by the trigger, to propellant gas pushing the bullet out of the barrel, generally takes 0.0024 seconds, during which any premature movement by the shooter will affect the direction of flight of the bullet.

  After the bullet was fired, Ye Yun Tian saw that it hit a rock, splashing out some sparks, and then didn't know where it went.

  Ye Ren took aim at a tree in the distance, about 100 meters away.

  And this stone is just twenty meters away.

  The sound of gunfire echoed through the mountains and forests, spreading very far.

  "Pick up the gun!" Ye Yun Tian seemed very unhappy.

  Ye Ren picked up the gun.

  Several hundred meters away on a small road, a team of people with a suspicious appearance were hurrying along the road, driving more than ten mules.

  These men are all carrying guns and wearing simple tactical vests.

  On the back of these mules were two bales of hemp of equal size.

  This is a gang of drug traffickers, they are secretly transporting a batch of drugs into the country.

  These drugs were goods of a drug trafficking group managed by Sakong Sazou brothers, who have been notorious in the Golden Triangle region in recent years.

  And the one who bought this batch of goods was also the country's largest drug lord, Jin Yang.

  This is the first cooperation between the two sides, and it has great significance for both parties.

  So the second master of the Sha family, Sha Zu, the younger brother of Sha Kang, personally led the team. They were all fugitives with blood debts within China and were trusted followers who had worked in the Sha family's drug trafficking group for many years, just to ensure that nothing went wrong.

  The caravan of drug traffickers had reached this point when suddenly a shot rang out.

  The drug traffickers immediately hid and opened the safety of their assault rifles.

  The drug trafficker in charge of driving the mule also made the mule kneel on the ground and hide as much as possible.

  But after the gunshot, the surroundings returned to calmness again.

  But for extremely cautious drug traffickers, this gunshot had a different meaning.

  No matter what the situation is, a sudden gunshot out of nowhere is never a small thing.

  "Is anyone hurt?" Sha Zu hid behind a rock, clutching a gold-plated M1911 Government pistol in his hand.

  "No, the bullet didn't come."

  "Who's mother is this?" Sha Zu asked one of his subordinates who was more familiar with the situation.

  "Maybe it's a ranger, all the rangers in this mountain are armed."

  "What does it mean he's opening fire? Have we been discovered?"

  "He shouldn't have, if he found us, he wouldn't shoot."

  "No way, it's not reliable, let's find a few brothers and go take a look."

  "Yes!"

  Sha Zu chose about a dozen brothers and followed him, feeling his way in the direction of the gunfire.

  Ye Yuntian and Ye Ren had yet to sense the danger drawing near.

  Ye Ren picked up his gun again and adjusted his shooting stance.

  Ye Ren took aim at the tree in the distance once again.

  This time, Ye Ren was also mentally prepared.

  Bang!

  The gun went off again.

  This time, Ye Ren did not panic.

  Ye Yuntian suddenly found some wooden chips flying from a tree 100 meters away.

  "You hit it right on, not bad." Ye Yun Tian said.

  Ye Yun Tian's tone couldn't hide his excitement.

  Ye Yuntian had been a soldier and had led soldiers. He knew that in the army, there was a saying: "Some people are born to be warriors."

  Ye Ren's gunshot rang out, and Sha Zu and the others were startled again, immediately hiding.

  At this time, Sha Zu and others were already within thirty meters of Ye Ren and Ye Yun Tian.

  Hiding at the edge of the forest, Sha Zu and his men could clearly see Ye Yun Tian and Ye Ren outside the forest.

  "What shall we do?" one of his men asked.

  "Take them out, they're getting too close." Shazhu said.

  "Isn't it bad? We can sneak past quietly."

  "I don't want to take the risk, these two lives, in such a vast mountain range, no one will know. Haven't you seen their walkie-talkies? If the news leaks out, we'll be in trouble." Sha Zu said.

  "Yes."

  The drug traffickers slowly raised their guns, opened the safety catches, and took aim at Ye Yun Tian and Ye Ren.

  But long before Ye Ren's gunshot sounded, Ye Yuntian had already heard unusual movements in the woods to his right.

  Ye Yuntian didn't change his expression, but his attention had already shifted over.
