Seeing this situation, Gong Jian directly called everyone over. "Recognize this big guy?" Gong Jian asked with a smile.

"Recognize!"

"Don't recognize!" Two different voices came out.

The Type 10 large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifle had only recently been finalized and put into production, and the hunting troops hadn't had it for long. Moreover, it wasn't like an assault rifle that would be widely issued.

It was only issued to some special units. Even elite companies like the Sharpshooter Fourth Company only had two or three of them.

From this, one could see that it wasn't for field troops.

"How about it? Genius, can you introduce it to everyone?" Gong Jian asked Jiang Yan Hai with a smile.

"Yes!" Jiang Yan Hai didn't stand on ceremony and responded with a crisp salute.

Raising the Type 10 sniper rifle in his hands high, facing everyone, Jiang Yan Hai began to speak directly.

"The Type 10 large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifle uses 12.7mm special sniper rounds, and can also use 12.7mm machine gun rounds. Its maximum effective range is 1500 meters, and it can penetrate 15mm homogeneous steel plates at a distance of 500 meters. It is a heavy sniper rifle used for special targets such as bunkers, armored vehicles, and helicopters. It is also our country's first heavy, large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifle to be formally put into large-scale service."

Jiang Yan Hai gave a brief introduction. He knew more details, in fact, he remembered every word of the information on Baidu Baike, but there was no need to say it all here.

"Good, now everyone recognizes it, right?" Gong Jian said with a smile. Of course, he knew that Jiang Yan Hai had only given a general introduction.

"Recognize!" This time, everyone's voices were unified.

"Alright, our genius just now wanted to play with something more powerful and requested this. So, we're going to let our genius test it out for us. What do you say?" Gong Jian said with a smile.

"Good!" The entire company immediately cheered.

That's the atmosphere in the army. As long as you have the strength, you will earn everyone's respect.

And through yesterday's assessment and this morning's performance, Jiang Yan Hai had already gained the recognition of all the soldiers in the Fourth Company.

This was even if they hadn't seen Jiang Yan Hai shooting at a 600-meter target with an assault rifle earlier, as they were all undergoing shooting training. Otherwise, they would probably be even more shocked.

After all, 600 meters was already pushing the limits of human vision, let alone exceeding the effective range of an assault rifle.

"Come on, genius." Gong Jian smiled at Jiang Yan Hai.

"Report, Instructor, you shouldn't call me genius anymore." Jiang Yan Hai replied with a loud laugh.

"Oh, what, is there a title that you, Jiang Yan Hai, dare not accept?" Gong Jian immediately teased.

"No, it's that I'm afraid 'genius' isn't enough to describe me." Jiang Yan Hai simply joked back.

This time, the entire company burst into laughter.

From the crowd, someone even shouted, "Jiang Yan Hai, you're too shameless!"

"See, the people's eyes are discerning." Gong Jian immediately pointed at them and laughed. With such a good atmosphere, Gong Jian naturally wouldn't spoil the mood.

As a political instructor, he naturally knew when the atmosphere was best.

"Alright, enough nonsense, let's get started." Gong Jian said directly. "Old Hei, have them set up all the targets, including the ones on the distant mountaintops. Set up two flagpoles with simple silhouette targets, and we'll lead the team to a farther location."

The furthest sniper range here was for 1000-meter targets; there were no further ones.

However, they could retreat and actively increase the distance, and the silhouette targets on the flagpoles on the distant mountains were also set up.

The entire company retreated together. Soon, the distance between them and the original 1000-meter targets reached about 1700 meters.

"How about that? I know you well, don't I?" Gong Jian pointed at the distant targets and said, "At this distance, even with my binoculars, I can't see very clearly."

The entire company sat cross-legged behind Jiang Yan Hai. Gong Jian even directly had Old Hei distribute some binoculars to the other soldiers. He couldn't say everyone got one, but it was enough for a few people to share.

"I won't explain it to you, but Jiang Yan Hai, let me tell you, ultra-long-range shooting is different from using the Type 88 sniper rifle to shoot at 1400 meters. Because you even need to consider the bullet's flight time and the target's movement time, etc." Gong Jian's voice wasn't small, and he was also explaining to the other soldiers.

"Start when you're ready, and report the hit first." After the soldiers setting up the targets at a distance retreated to a safe position, Gong Jian spoke.

"Yes! Original 500-meter target, now 1200 meters." Jiang Yan Hai shouted loudly.

Gong Jian immediately raised his binoculars.

The other soldiers holding binoculars also quickly raised theirs.

With a loud "Bang!", the head of the silhouette target at the 1200-meter mark instantly had a huge hole.

"Good!" The soldiers behind immediately cheered. The soldiers nearby who didn't have binoculars quickly grabbed them to take a look.

1200 meters was more like a test shot, but after firing, Jiang Yan Hai could instantly confirm that the accuracy of this Type 10 sniper rifle was much higher than the Type 88 sniper rifle! The adjustment needed for 1200 meters was very small.

"Original 1000-meter target, now 1700 meters." Jiang Yan Hai directly called out the second target.

Everyone immediately quieted down again. The data in Jiang Yan Hai's eyes began to change wildly. However, after this morning's training, the speed of his skill's data changes was already extremely fast, much faster than when Jiang Yan Hai first used the Type 88 sniper rifle.

Therefore, Jiang Yan Hai waited for a few seconds before suddenly pulling the trigger.

With a "Bang!" sound, about two seconds later, the silhouette target in the distance suddenly exploded with fragments, revealing a huge hole.

"Good!" This time, it was Gong Jian who exclaimed after taking a deep breath.

"The furthest target on the flagpole on the distant mountaintop!" Jiang Yan Hai called out a new target.

Gong Jian paused, wanting to say something, but ultimately held back. Because that furthest target, at the current distance, was approximately 2400 meters away.

This distance... let alone domestically, even internationally, it was a terrifying sniping distance, even for target practice!

In China, this would absolutely be a record!

This time, Jiang Yan Hai took a long time, not just calculating data, but also because the target tied to the flagpole was very high, swaying back and forth with the wind. Jiang Yan Hai was calculating the pattern of the sway.

Because at 2400 meters, the bullet would take nearly 4 seconds to reach the target! The target's movement had to be taken into account!

After about ten seconds of silence, all the comrades behind Jiang Yan Hai seemed to hold their breath. The air grew heavy. Only when the muffled gunshot rang out, "Bang," did everyone seem to exhale, but they all raised their binoculars.

About 4 seconds later, in Jiang Yan Hai's scope, the middle of the flagpole with the target tied to it suddenly exploded into fragments, then snapped into two pieces.

"Yes!" Even Jiang Yan Hai couldn't help but let out a low cheer and pump his fist.

"Jiang Yan Hai!"

"Jiang Yan Hai!"

"Jiang Yan Hai!"

The comrades behind him couldn't help but start shouting his name in unison.
