otherwise, how could Gao Yang judge the quality of her gunmanship?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, hand-to-hand combat is rarely needed on the modern battlefield, but a gun is indispensable at all times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting with a pistol, Eileen began shooting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she wouldn’t be shooting at a range of fifty meters, a distance that actually has little significance in real combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After firing a magazine of bullets from the pistol and one from the SG551, Eileen’s gunmanship was as good as she claimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a Special Forces environment where good shooting is a fundamental skill, she could be considered excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Eileen used a 7.62mm caliber rifle to shoot at distant targets, she performed well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only condition was who she was compared to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If compared with Gao Yang, Eileen would think her long-distance shooting was rather poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her accuracy was fine, but her rate of fire was several times slower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Eileen finish, Gao turned to Cui Bo beside him and asked, “What do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Bo nodded and said, “She’s good, very good indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Fire Assault Specialist, her gunmanship is quite impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of long-distance accuracy, it’s decent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s sufficient to be an emergency marksman if needed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang let out a sigh of relief and shouted to Eileen, who had ceased firing, “As a Fire Assault Specialist, perform a run-and-gun drill simulating actual combat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eileen replied loudly, “Yes, sir!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting down the gun in her hand, she switched to the SG551, secured the pistol on her body, and at Gao Yang’s command, Eileen started the run-and-gun shooting drill under simulated combat conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a Fire Assault Specialist, stationary shooting at fixed targets is not very significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving and shooting are the essential skills needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eileen began shooting on the move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gun fired short bursts, three shots per target, quite accurately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then that her true level of proficiency was evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gunmanship was excellent and her tactical movements quite standard, though the swift movements she started with soon lost their form and slowed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After observing for a while, Cui Bo suddenly said, “Something’s not right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eileen’s movements seem a bit off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After scrutinizing for a moment, Gao Yang nodded and said, “Her form is off, uh, don’t forget the kick she took.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You don’t think Brother Yang’s kick is so easy to endure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack asked curiously from the side, “What happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did you guys fight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang, a bit embarrassed, smiled and explained, “It’s nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a misunderstanding when we first met, and a little scuffle broke out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it’s all good now, otherwise, Eileen couldn’t have joined the Satan Mercenary Corps.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After explaining briefly to Jack, Gao Yang shouted again, “Eileen, you can stop now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is your body okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Bo, with a curious expression, asked, “If it had been a man, they would probably be in the hospital after taking your kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for a woman, is there still a problem now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang replied irritably, “How should I know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why don’t you go ask Eileen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eileen did not stop; although her movements were somewhat distorted, she persisted and fully demonstrated the basic skills of a Fire Assault Specialist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Eileen had finally set down the rifle, drawn her pistol for rapid-fire, then grabbed the rifle again to shoot, her actions were smooth and swift, hitting every target decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang nodded in satisfaction, sighed, and said, “At last, we have a second true Fire Assault Specialist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Eileen on the team, we’ll have far more tactical options to choose from.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Bo chuckled and replied, “Exactly, we’ve struck gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Yang, with Eileen here, you finally won’t have to always step in as the second Fire Assault Specialist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a Fire Assault Specialist isn’t just about being able to shoot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the strict sense, the Satan Mercenary Corps only had one Fire Assault Specialist, Jinfang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they needed one, Gao Yang could only arm himself with a Shotgun and form a basic three-man assault team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Typically, for street or indoor fighting, Gao Yang would form an assault team with Jinfang and Frey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In open terrain, they would switch Frey with Glolov.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was the extent of their options; if they had to form an assault team with Tommy and Lucica, the coordination and combat effectiveness would drop significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In combat, every role is defined for a reason, and every position requires specialized skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The technical requirements of a Fire Assault Specialist are high, and not just anyone can step in and fill that role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Eileen on board, she could not only form a real assault team with Jinfang but also allow for larger assault teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were no longer limited to the smallest possible four-man team, and most crucially, with Eileen, they could form two assault teams if needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, Gao Yang, Jinfang, and Frey could be one team, and Eileen, Glolov, and Cui Bo could be another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two teams could provide mutual support and cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they had only added one person, the tactical options had greatly expanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Eileen, who was walking with some difficulty, returned to Gao Yang’s side, he asked with a puzzled look, “Your, um, your injury is okay, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eileen immediately replied loudly, “No problem, sir!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After responding, Eileen shrugged and said, “It will definitely be uncomfortable, but after applying a hot Epsom salt soak when I get back, I should recover in a few days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang nodded subconsciously and said, “Okay, good, we don’t know much about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You handle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh, you’re out of money, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll give you some more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much do you need?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eileen, beaming, replied, “Thank you, sir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I really do need money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have to buy a lot of things I need, like underwear, boots, a backpack, as well as combat uniforms and a bulletproof vest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sir, I need to complete my combat gear set.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang took out his checkbook and said, “The location of our next mission hasn’t been finalized, so don’t rush to buy clothes and the bulletproof vest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the rest, get whatever you like for your personal use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t advise you on personal items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Um, ten thousand US dollars should be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here you go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll deduct it from your salary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Gao Yang’s phone rang in his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He answered the call to find it was Little Donnie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After connecting, Little Donnie urgently said, “Boss, two pieces of news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ve got business knocking on our door, introduced by the intel dealer Justin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The client is Friend of Nature, yes, the same organization that once offered us two hundred thousand US dollars; this time, they’ve raised their bid to one million US dollars.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impatient, Gao Yang replied, “One million?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tell Friend of Nature to get lost; it’s too little, not doing it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tell Justin if he’s got jobs like this, don’t bother mentioning anything less than five million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s the other piece of news?” (To be continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you enjoy this work, we invite you to cast your votes or monthly tickets at Qidian.com.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your support is my greatest motivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)\u003C\u002Fp>",1225,"2026-06-06T10:19:57.855Z",1,"novelbin.me","a59c4fa5f0a0a92eba523baf4572d383d3f7e3dbead5023e6550599a8dd00ab9","mercenary-s-war-chapter-561","mercenary-s-war-chapter-559",2343,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmercenary-s-war-cover.jpg"]
