Ye Jian reminded the sniper soldiers next to her every time they reached a range. This was the “appearance method” in the range estimation in sniper training. Principal Chen had taught her step by step using this method.
“Ye Jian, shoot the intercom device on the target person.”
Principal Chen’s solemn voice came from the headset; Ye Jian responded with a serious “Yes” and immediately adjusted the scope to complete the precise shooting of the equipment. Standing in place, she pulled the trigger. After the shot sounded, the accurate shot was completed.
It seemed like a purely precise shooting, but the snipers in training knew how difficult such precision shooting was. Mental arithmetic, sharp eyesight, wind factor… and a series of other factors needed to be firmly grasped to achieve such precision shooting.
When Principal Chen told all the soldiers of the sniper team in the headset that Ye Jian completed the precise shooting, the group of ten people couldn’t help applauding.
“That’s amazing! Ye Jian! I was still thinking about how far away the intercom device is before the outline is blurred, and you have already finished shooting.”
“…I have calculated an approximate distance, but I am still thinking about how to adjust the scope.”
Ye Jian smiled at their amazement and said, “Don’t be surprised; I was also trained by an instructor; you will be the same as me in the future. As long as you know the target, you can calculate the distance quickly.”
“Ye Jian, return to your position; the rest of the soldiers get ready to shoot.” Principal Chen waited for Ye Jian to finish before telling her to return. With her there, the morale of the male soldiers would be aroused because no one wanted to be beaten by a female soldier.
The next step was to test of the sniper team. Whenever Principal Chen said a target, the named soldiers must complete the shooting as quickly as possible… These soldiers were walking the path Ye Jian walked back then. Although they couldn’t achieve such a rare talent as Ye Jian, being able to make up for one’s weaknesses after rigorous training was definitely an excellent sniper.
Principal Chen had never disappointed his country, nor had he disappointed the troops that sent him to his important missions.
There were so many things to learn to become an excellent sniper. Even if Ye Jian had reached a reasonably high level, she couldn’t stop learning. The only thing was that she would never stop, and she would never be eliminated.
Ye Jian, who had a revenge plan in her heart, had been staying at the sniper base to complete the everyday training with the soldiers. Occasionally, she would leave the team during training to rest, not very long, only a few minutes; then, she would immediately return to the team. She was a female soldier, so leaving occasionally the team, which consisted only of guys, was understandable; even Principal Chen didn’t realize that there was something in Ye Jian’s heart.
Ye Jian had always devoted herself to the training. In order not to worry Principal Chen, she was patient and not anxious. She trained with the soldiers every day until one week before the Spring Festival; she finally asked Principal Chen. She proposed to leave for about four or five days.
Ye Jian, who finished the snow sniper camouflage training, said to Principal Chen, “Uncle Chen, I want to go to the Martyrs Cemetery to worship, and then gather with a few high school classmates. I will return to the army on New Year’s Day.
Snow sniper was located in Yunnan Province’s military zone. Ye Jian simply proposed it before they went down the mountain. After going down the mountain together, she would go directly to the city, while the truck would bring the others back to the sniper base.
Principal Chen did not have any doubts. He believed that she should indeed visit the late Uncle Gen and Martyr Sun Xueqing.
At the bifurcation, Ye Jian got out of the car. After the truck with the sniper team left, she immediately ran toward the other side of the bifurcation road, where there was a vehicle arranged by Hou Zi waiting for her.
