Chapter Fifteen: One of the most important things in this study is that you can't be missing!

  Not only did he have to hold two guns, but also use various shooting postures. It took Jing Yang another month to achieve a 100% hit rate. His marksmanship had already reached the level of an average special forces team member, but this was not what Shan Ying wanted.

  The seventh month was the fourth stage of training arranged by Shan Ying, and from this month on, Jing Yang's training time was extended by two hours.

  Archery, hand-to-hand combat, and physical training have become essential daily training projects. When Yang Jingyu scored 100% hits on the 50-meter floating target with his twin guns, this project also became a must-practice item for him every day, and he added micro-bursts and assault rifle shooting training to it.

  At the same time, Shan Ying begins teaching Jing Yang sniping skills and teaches him how to make a lucky costume.

  Every time after Jing Yang's training, he was almost drained of his last bit of energy, and then Shan Ying would teach him theories and some practical experiences. It can't be said that he is indeed a knowledgeable teacher.

  In Jing Yang's view, Shan Ying is not only a master of weapons, but also a master of tactics. Every day, he can learn new knowledge, and in this way, he becomes stronger and stronger every day.

  Six months of training have made Jing Yang much darker and look very healthy.

  Although there was no staple food like rice or flour, the mountain eagle would often help him get some delicious wild fruits and other animals to eat.

  The mountain eagle got some clean water from somewhere for Jing Yang to drink, he needed a lot of plain water for today's training, the mountain eagle had never cut off his drinking water, Jing Yang asked him several times but he didn't tell the location of the water source, just saying it wasn't time yet.

  Jing Yang knew that he must have gotten it during his training, and he had gone to some place on the island to get it. He still didn't know what was inside the island, and he didn't have the time to explore.

  The mountain eagle continued to patiently teach Jing Yang.

  "Ghillie suits are personal items, usually made by the sniper themselves. It may take over a hundred hours to complete one ghillie suit. A full set of ghillie suit includes hat, jacket and pants."

  The mountain eagle laid out a piece of military canvas in front of Jing Yang, along with needles and thread, scissors, sailcloth, burlap sacks, rain cloth, net ropes, and many other things.

  Jing Yang naturally knew about Jili's clothes, but before he had always thought they were custom-made, and only now did he realize that the sniper himself made them.

  "Teacher, is the main function of Kiryuu attire just disguise?"

  "Of course, a Ghillie suit has nearly over a thousand strips of cloth or yarn, which allows the Ghillie suit to effectively break up the human outline and blend it into the natural environment. These strips have three purposes: breaking up the human outline, mimicking natural vegetation, and providing a 3D appearance for camouflage."

  Jing Yang listened attentively as Shan Ying gave a very professional explanation of the effects of Jili armor, knowing that it might become one of his main combat equipment in the future.

  "Teacher, does a sniper need several sets of camouflage uniforms to adapt to different environments?"

  Jing Yang believes that snipers will fight in many different combat environments, such as mountains, jungles, deserts, snowy fields, cities and so on.

  The mountain eagle smiled and said, "The color and composition of the Ghillie suit should change with the environment. Separate strips of burlap can well simulate an environment dominated by weeds. In a jungle, to simulate broadleaf trees, you need to use larger strips of burlap, which makes the Ghillie suit look three-dimensional and more effective. Adding leaves and debris from the surrounding environment to the Ghillie suit is even better, so a sniper doesn't need to make multiple suits."

  "Will it take hundreds of hours to make just one?" Jing Yang asked in surprise.

  "Ghillie suit is a very important equipment for a sniper, if it's well-designed, not only can it protect oneself, but also help complete the task better. Its manufacturing is actually very exquisite, with many subtleties involved!"

  The mountain eagle said, taking out a auspicious garment he had made with his own hands and handing it to Jing Yang, "You carefully study this set of auspicious garments and see what special features they have."

  Jing Yang took over this set of nearly 7 kg heavy diving suit, which consists of three pieces: headgear, jacket and pants. Only after taking a closer look did he realize that there was indeed a lot to learn about it.

  "I didn't expect this heavy-duty Jili suit to be so convenient to put on and take off, and it even has waterproof and flame retardant functions! Oh, there's a water bag inside too! But no matter how I look at it, it still looks like a beggar's outfit!" Jing Yang laughed as he closely examined the Jili suit for the first time.

  "Jili clothes have another name called trash dress. When you make it, I'll tell you the subtleties." Shan Ying smiled and said.

  "I only now understand that modern warfare is far more complicated than I had imagined, no wonder every country has a very formidable special forces unit and their equipment is also the most advanced."

  The production of this lucky garment shows how complex modern warfare is, with advanced lethal weapons that can be fatal with the slightest carelessness. Master Shan Ying rarely speaks nonsense, and every word he says has a purpose.

  Jing Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his luck was really good, he actually met such a professional, responsible and knowledgeable teacher in the mercenary group. He shouldn't be someone from a training camp, no matter how you look at it, he seemed to be from some kind of super special forces team.

  As for Shān Yīng, he rarely mentioned him in the past because Jiǎo Yáng also rarely asked about it, and he didn't want to displease Teacher Shān Yīng.

  "Nowadays, local battles and special operations are highly valued by various countries and armed organizations, especially urban warfare is becoming more and more important. In the following period of time, I will tell you everything I know, you must remember it firmly in your mind and apply it."

  Jing Yang had such a feeling that Mountain Eagle was still very happy, this way he could know what he needed in his future mercenary career.

  That's why it's not only important to have solid skills, but also advanced equipment. I was injured by a missile launched by a drone during a mission, and I hope Jing Yang won't suffer the same loss again in the future.

  "Teacher Shan Ying, don't worry, I won't forget a single word you taught me!" Jing Yang guaranteed.

  "Jing Yang, you must remember that many times, battles cannot be won by one person alone, but also require the assistance of trustworthy teammates. A person's strong abilities can enhance the team's overall strength, and having a cohesive team that works well with oneself is extremely important. Therefore, you not only need to become a top-notch expert, but also learn how to command and lead your team to complete various combat missions. In other words, you must learn to use your brain to fight!"

  Through these days and scenes with Jing Yang, the mountain eagle felt that this Chinese boy had infinite potential and was extremely wise. The things he taught him would often be used to infer three, and he was a child who was very good at using his brain.

  Moreover, he also found that he was not only tenacious and meticulous in his thinking, but also had extremely strong observational skills. The mountain eagle discovered that Jing Yang had great command ability, and it was very likely that he would become the leader of the baron or even surpass him.

  "Understood! Teacher Shan Ying!"

  "Jing Yang, I think you seem quite interested in sniping?"

  Jing Yang's skills are not yet comprehensive, as the final stage of training has not yet begun. Only after passing the last test arranged by Shan Ying can Jing Yang be considered qualified. This day is already not far away.

  So, Shan Ying also wants to know what profession Jing Yang should specialize in. Of course, the sniper is a profession that many military fans love, but its requirements are also very high.

  "Yes, I've always quite liked snipers. I think they can turn the tide of battle and are also battlefield ghosts and reapers of death." Jing Yang said without denying it.

  The mountain eagle listened and laughed for a while, but also found that Jing Yang was indeed quite suitable to be a sniper. He was tolerant, tenacious, had enough patience, and had super strong psychological quality, manufacturing warplanes and grasping warplanes' ability were super strong, these were all the necessary conditions for a sniper.

  "Hahaha... Snipers are probably a favorite among many military fans, their mysterious and cunning existence, they do play a very important role in combat, but they also have a big weakness, do you know?" Shan Ying asked.

  "Is it a lack of firepower? Once discovered, it's hard to protect oneself?" Jing Yang had studied snipers before, so he still knew what he was afraid of.

  "Do you know what a sniper's main task is?" Mountain Eagle continued to ask.

  "Snipe the enemy commander, destroy the squad's heavy weapons, protect your own teammates..." Jing Yang thought for a moment before saying this, he also knew that what he said was definitely not exhaustive, the sniper's mission was far from just these.

  "The Eagle nodded and said: 'I'll supplement you with this, it's what I wrote for you in English, you should be able to understand it, right?'"

  Jing Yang took over a piece of paper that Shan Ying had written for himself, on which were carefully noted several points that a sniper needed to understand.

  1. Task - Type of task that needs to be completed or assisted with.

  2. Enemy Forces - The branches and numbers of enemy troops.

  3. Terrain - The specific geographical features of the area of operations, including climate and weather on the day of action.

  4. Friendly forces - Other sniper teams, escort groups and friendly troops participating in combat within the area of operation.

  5. Time - The time required for the task.

  In offensive operations, snipers can pin down enemy forces and create casualties among them thereby demoralizing the enemy and reducing their ability to conduct effective counter-attacks against our troops.

  When an attack is launched, snipers should:

  1. A sniper fighting against enemy troops;

  2. Timely discover and shoot at targets with strong coercion;

  3. Accurately firing at enemy squad's weapon operators and others with precision firepower.

  4. Use precise firepower to strike at the enemy's command personnel;

  5. Use precise firepower to shoot at the loopholes of fortifications;

  6. Fire on enemy's flanking troops;

  7. Firing withdrawal of enemy troops;

  Protect the flanks;

  9. Control key terrain.

  In defensive battles, snipers should:

  1. Control obstacles, minefields and ruins;

  2. Reconnaissance detachments that shoot and kill enemy troops;

  3. Pick off exposed enemy armored car commanders, anti-tank teams and radio operators outside the turret.

  4. Fire on optical instruments of armoured vehicles to impede their movement;

  Destroy enemy forces with platoon supporting firepower;

  6. Interfere with the enemy's reinforcements;

  7. Control key terrain.

  The mountain eagle saw Jing Yang carefully and seriously looking at the key points he had written, saying: "These are all things that a sniper must do, if you are the leader, you need to know more."

  Jing Yang felt deeply moved when he saw this paper, Teacher Shan Ying was indeed very dedicated in teaching him.

  "Thank you, teacher! I will remember all of these!" Jing Yang said emotionally.
