The huge shooting range is momentarily silent.
Ma Tianjia, a special combatant of the Armed Police Falcon Commando, opened his eyes wide and his fingers slowly pulled the trigger.
The simulated scope of the sniper rifle in his hand was damaged, and in the distance, the target appeared instantaneously and disappeared again in a few seconds.
Behind the captain officer was an elite sniper in uniform from dozens of national military and police forces.
"Snap", with the sound of gunfire, Ma Tianjialik won the second "Blade" International Sniper Shooting Competition "Challenge Sniper" championship in one fell swoop. Previously, Ma Tianjia and the members of the Armed Police Falcon Commando Team had already won the first place in the overall score of the individual group and the collective group.
Ma Tianjia said: "It was President Xi's flag speech that made me find my own position, realize the heavy responsibility on my shoulders, and strive to achieve excellent results. ”
On April 9, 2014, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the People's Republic of China and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, inspected the Special Police Academy of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force and presented the flag to the Falcon Commando.
Ma Tianjia clearly remembers that when he stood in the queue that day and heard President Xi Jinping propose to "strive to become a world-class anti-terrorism special combat force and always be a loyal defender of the party and the people", his heart was strongly shaken.

"Every special operator in the Falcon Commando is aware of the heavy responsibility on their shoulders." Yonehiko, then the leader of the Falcon Commando Brigade, said.
The tall commander who took over the banner of the Falcon Commando from President Xi Jinping led this national anti-terrorism special warfare force forward. In recent years, the Falcon Commando Team has made great progress in all aspects of construction, regardless of combat capability, force organization, or weapons and equipment, and has made great strides towards the world's first-class level.
In June 2019, at the Third Great Wall International Counter-Terrorism Forum of the Armed Police Force held in Beijing, Mi Yanguang made a keynote speech on "The Application of Sniping in Special Operations".

This is one of the topics that Mi yanhiro and his comrades-in-arms have studied intensively, systematically summarizing the role, timing and application of tactics of sniping, and conducting in-depth research on the killing effects, ballistic deviations, and accuracy of targets of different materials.
After the speech, many special operations experts at the scene asked him to exchange sniper skills.
"The awareness of actual combat has penetrated deep into the marrow." Wang Huili, instructor of the women's special operations brigade, sighed. In recent years, women's special operations teams have trained almost the same as male soldiers, who train and perform missions with male players to become special operators with extraordinary skills and ready to fight.

In December 2018, the Falcon Commando was invited to send female special operators to Uzbekistan to train female special forces of the country's National Guard. During the teaching period, Chinese female special operators were highly praised by the Ukrainian side for their good tactical literacy and superb practical combat skills.
Not long ago, the Falcon Commando team once again conducted Devil's Week Extreme Training. The troops marched in continuously for more than 20 hours. Along the way, the guidance and dispatch team constantly set up various complex situations, and the special operators put themselves in the battlefield environment and threw themselves into the battle. A special operator was accidentally wounded and bloodied, but he still withdrew from the battle in a vigilant posture...

Immersing yourself in special operations skills and striving to break through yourself has become a common practice in the Falcon Commando. Wang Zhanjun, the captain of the three special operations brigades, was once an excellent special combatant, participated in international competitions many times, and won many honors. However, as a commander, he found his own shortcomings, took the task as the traction, and paid close attention to actual combat training.
Wang Zhanjun took the lead in studying the maritime counter-terrorism course and led the officers and men to carry out practical training in a difficult and strict manner. In just one month, the officers and men of the special operations have mastered such subjects as swimming, boating, armed crossing, and shooting at sea. They conducted special research and training on the characteristics of maritime counter-terrorism, and made useful explorations for maritime counter-terrorism operations.

Once, Wang Zhanjun and the officers and men were training, and suddenly heavy rain fell on the sea, the wind and waves were very large, and the boats piloted by the special combatants encountered dangerous situations and lost contact with the rear. In the end, with their excellent psychological quality and skills, they successfully got rid of the dangerous situation and also summed up the way to deal with similar situations.
Over the past few years, the Falcon Commando has fully drawn on new concepts, new tactics and new training methods for counter-terrorism operations at home and abroad to promote the overall improvement of the anti-terrorism special warfare capabilities of the troops.

At the beginning of 2019, the Armed Police Force selected special operators to participate in the Training Camp of the "Hunter School" in Venezuela. At that time, the child of special operator Yang Zhen was not yet one year old. "I had to take every opportunity to go out and train myself on a bigger stage." Yang Zhen said. In April of the same year, he went to Venezuela.
There, Yang Zhen had no name, only a code. There, the training was harsh, but as long as the brass bell on a grave in the training ground was ringed, the training camp could be withdrawn. "Every day is a double test of spirit and body, and although there are countless times when I want to ring the brass bell, I have to grit my teeth and persevere." Yang Zhen said.
The first place in the anti-terrorism course, the third place in the sniper course, and the third place in the overall score were awarded the "Hunter Medal", which is the excellent result achieved by Yang Zhen, a special combatant of the Falcon Commando, participating in the training of the "Hunter School" in Venezuela.
"The biggest gain is to master more special operations concepts and skills, which is useful for devoting yourself to building a world-class anti-terrorism special operations team!" Yang Zhen said.
