Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 48 The Mad Sharpshooter's Fourth Shot
Wang Jianguo, the company commander of the 4th Sharpshooter Company, stormed out of his tent. He was assigning tasks to his platoon leaders when he heard that the regimental commander had been eliminated.

Isn't this a joke? But the person who delivered the message doesn't look like he's joking.

As he stepped out of the tent, he saw Commander Kang leaning against the off-road vehicle, smoking, with a helmet on the hood. The blue smoke from the helmet wasn't as thick as it had been at first.

"No, team leader, you've really been eliminated."

Wang Jianguo strode up to Commander Kang, his face filled with disbelief.

"You saw it all, didn't you?"

As he spoke, Commander Kang picked up the helmet with one hand and handed it to Wang Jianguo.

"I'll go and bring them back!"

After saying that, Wang Jianguo didn't even look to see if Commander Kang had anything else to say, and ran like the wind to the camp belonging to the Sharpshooter Fourth Company.

At that moment, all he could think about was how to capture the Red Army scout who had sniped their regimental commander.

"Everyone assemble! Our regimental commander was sniped right in front of us. This is a disgrace to our company. Our marksmanship is second to none, but someone still dared to provoke us today. What do you say we do?"

Wang Jianguo's face flushed red, and bloodshot veins appeared in the whites of his eyes. He was genuinely furious, and at the same time, he was wondering who was patrolling that area, how come they couldn't even keep an eye on a single person!
"Kill him!"

"catch him!"

……

The soldiers were outraged. Their commander had been killed in their own backyard using the very methods they were best at. Wasn't this a slap in the face?

This cannot be tolerated. They must capture that Red Army scout, otherwise they will have no face to call themselves "sharpshooters" anymore.

"I ordered the entire company to search for that despicable Red Army scout, in platoons."

Set off! "

"Yes!"

All the soldiers of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company, carrying their equipment, marched in a mighty procession toward the position where Changning had fired the shot.

Of course, Chang Ning was no longer in that position. After firing the shot, he saw smoke rising from Commander Kang's head and knew that he had successfully eliminated the commander. He quickly packed up his sniper position, carried his sniper rifle, and ran away.

His goal was to eliminate Commander Kang, not to directly confront the Iron Fist Regiment. He wasn't that arrogant.

"I wonder if Commander Kang has maxed out his sniper rifle shooting experience after being eliminated. This system is not smart at all."

Chang Ning brought up the system panel to view the relevant experience bars.

Name: Chang Ning

"Age: 19 years old"

"Stamina: 400 / ??? (The average stamina for an adult male is 100)"

"Rifle Shooting: 100/100 (Cannot be upgraded)"

"Knife Skill: 100/100 (Cannot be upgraded)"

Sniper Rifle Shooting: 95/100

"Note: The level of this system is linked to the host's military rank. Please strive hard!"

Seeing that the sniper rifle shooting experience bar had only increased by 5 points, Chang Ning inwardly exclaimed that the system was not taking care of him, a new recruit, at all.

He just eliminated a colonel! He's only worth 5 experience points. How is he supposed to survive?
Chang Ning had hoped to max out his experience points by killing Commander Kang, but the result was far from satisfactory.

Chang Ning ran at top speed all the way, and he killed the regimental commander, which was like stirring up a hornet's nest.

The Iron Fist Gang will definitely not let him leave so easily; there must be pursuers behind him.

Chang Ning's previous sniping position was about 800 meters away from Commander Kang. Considering the reaction time of the Iron Fist Regiment after he sniped him, he was now about one kilometer away from the pursuers.

This distance is nothing to the army. From the moment he killed Regiment Commander Kang, Chang Ning’s sense of crisis never disappeared!

Sure enough, not long afterward, Chang Ning heard the sound of a car engine coming from behind him.

Playing away from home offers no advantages; others drive cars, while Changning has to run on foot.

"I refuse to believe you can drive through these bumpy, mountainous terrains and forests!"

Trying to outrun a car on a flat road is something no one with a modicum of intelligence would do, let alone a genius like Chang Ning who graduated from university at just 18 years old.

Realizing that the sharpshooter 4th Company was chasing him in their car, he immediately changed direction, heading towards areas with poor roads, preferably dense forests. Cars couldn't drive into such places; they could only go on foot.

Once the members of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company get out of the vehicle, in the mountains and forests, Chang Ning can decide whether to fight or run based on his speed and marksmanship.

"The platoon leader has gone into the woods."

The private in the passenger seat reported Chang Ning's movements to his platoon leader.

"What's the rush? They've gone into the woods, can't you just get out of the car and chase after them? You can't do anything without the car?"

The private's face was bright red from the platoon leader's spray, but luckily his face was covered in camouflage, which concealed his embarrassment.

"Everyone get out of the car and give chase. Don't let that guy get away."

The platoon leader was using a vehicle-mounted radio to issue orders.

Coincidentally, the other units pursuing Chang Ning also began to enter the forest on foot, relentlessly pursuing him. Chang Ning ran very fast, but he couldn't keep up with the 4th Sharpshooter Company's relentless pursuit, like a leech; Chang Ning simply couldn't shake them off.

Moreover, this is their home turf, and they know the surrounding environment very well. Chang Ning cannot rely on the complex environment in the forest to escape the pursuit.

It's just that the Iron Fist Regiment was the only unit stationed around there; otherwise, it would be strange if Chang Ning had been able to escape, as he would have been surrounded long ago.

"Seriously? They're still chasing?"

Chang Ning glanced back briefly and could still vaguely see the pursuing group, which was about 500 to 600 meters away.

No matter how fast he runs, even if they can't catch him right away, they can still keep up. If this continues, either the entire Sharpshooter Fourth Company will be worn down, or he will be exhausted.

"Should we stop and fight it out?"

Chang Ning had calculated his gains from this exercise; he was certain he would receive a medal, though he didn't know the specific rank.

He's currently locked in a fierce battle with the sharpshooter four times in a row. Even if he gets eliminated, it doesn't matter, he won't lose anything anyway.

But fighting a whole company of expert shooters, Chang Ning felt he had no chance to retaliate at all.

Chang Ning wasn't upset about being eliminated, but being ganged up on and unable to fight back was just too frustrating.

Since it was an exercise, Chang Ning felt he had the option to choose how to "die," and thankfully it was just an exercise, not real combat.

In a real war, choosing a way to die would be too extravagant; sometimes, even death itself might not be an option.

If the enemy goes to great lengths to capture you, and doesn't get what they want, they'll kill you.

"A fight is not out of the question, but we can't fight them head-on."

There's absolutely no chance of winning in a direct confrontation; the opponent could beat him senseless from start to finish, and he wouldn't have the slightest ability to fight back.

Chang Ning silently calculated his ammunition reserves, which totaled only 50 rounds of 7.62mm bullets, plus a tactical dagger.

This is an exercise, not real combat. Chang Ning is not going to pull out a dagger and fight someone. If he accidentally kills someone, he will have to go to a military court and then be removed from his uniform.

Therefore, the dagger is excluded.

The situation is very unfavorable for him; it seems he can't escape.

The best outcome would be for him to defeat some of his opponents before being eliminated.

"Either way, we'll be eliminated, so what's there to hesitate about?"
Dry! "

If he could escape, Chang Ning wouldn't have had to fight them head-on.

The correct option is to act alone and decapitate the Blue Army's commanders.

Unfortunately, the area where the red and blue teams were engaged in combat was not far from here, and Chang Ning would not survive more than three seconds if he ran up there. The pursuers were hot on his heels, and most importantly, after the continuous running, he had very little stamina left.

Changning doesn't have many options left; it seems that the only path left is to be eliminated after a fierce battle.

After quickly selecting several suitable sniping positions, Chang Ning loaded a bullet, observed the pursuers from behind a tree, and silently rested the gun on his left arm.

The sights were aimed at the officer running in the lead.

Just when Changning was about to shake off the pursuers, this officer repeatedly led his men to catch up again.

Having made up his mind to fight here, Chang Ning naturally wanted to deal with the person who was ruining his plans first.

Gunshots rang out, and the lieutenant was eliminated. The sharpshooters of the Fourth Company never expected that the person they were chasing would stop running and instead open fire on them, even eliminating their company commander.

Alright, with both old and new grudges combined, all the soldiers of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company were instantly enraged and began to retaliate.

The sniper rifle possession rate of the entire Sharpshooter Fourth Company was the highest among all companies in the Iron Fist Regiment, and their counterattack was extremely swift.

Just as Chang Ning had analyzed before, he was easily suppressed by the opponent.

This had nothing to do with marksmanship; it was simply that the sniper company's firepower was more concentrated. After all, Chang Ning was fighting against an entire company single-handedly; it would be strange if he wasn't suppressed.

If it were an ordinary company, Chang Ning would still have a chance to counterattack. However, the opponent's marksmanship was exceptional this time, so Chang Ning dared not raise his head easily.

Just by listening to the density of the blank rounds hitting the cover, you can tell that the title of "sharpshooter" is not just for show; he really has the skill!

Chang Ning smiled wryly and moved to a different position. Luckily, his reaction time was better than the snipers of the Fourth Sharpshooter Company, which prevented him from being successfully locked onto.

To avoid being locked onto by a sniper, you must constantly change the direction of your movement, and the intervals between these changes cannot be too long.

This process alone completely drained Chang Ning's physical strength.

"I underestimated them."

Chang Ning lay prone at the No. 2 sniper position, panting heavily. He kept his body as low as possible, listening to the sound of bullets whistling through the air, constantly calculating in his mind how to break the deadlock.

When the Blue Army pursuers needed to reload and their firepower was less intense than before, Chang Ning picked up his gun and fired a series of shots, each one hitting its mark. In just a few seconds, he emptied the magazine of 10 bullets.

"The only chance to shake them off is to hold out until nightfall."

Chang Ning changed the magazine and pondered for a moment. This was the only solution he could think of, but it was not easy to execute.
