Golden Greenery

The last item in the training assessment and report exercise of the new barracks is live ammunition shooting, which is also a subject that new soldiers look forward to the most, because guns and cars are every man's favorite toy.

The shooting positions in groups of ten are lined up, and the recruits shoot live ammunition sequentially in squads. The live ammunition shooting in the recruit battalion is also the first live ammunition for the recruits. The 7.62mm caliber 81-bar automatic rifle is locked on a single shot, and the shooting adopts the most basic first practice, that is, the 100-meter prone position with relying on precision shooting, and the target is a chest ring target.

Ten bullets, ten single shots per soldier. 60 rings pass, 70 rings are good, 90 rings are excellent.

Anyone who has been in the army knows that good shooters are fed with bullets. Only after long-term and sufficient live ammunition training can they be calm under the bursting gunshots and huge recoil. For new fighters who are exposed to live ammunition for the first time, as long as they can not miss the target and keep hitting the target ring with each round, they can get at least a passing grade, which is considered very good. There are also recruits who will perform well with more than 80 rings or even 90 rings, but that is very rare. Most new fighters have shooting scores between 60 and 70 rings. Of course, there are also quite a few recruits below 40 rings that are too horrible to look at. Some recruits are too nervous and aim at other people's targets for a 'bang bang'. In the end, their own targets are as clean as a dog has licked them.

There were deafening gunshots on the shooting range one after another, and the voices of the callers hiding in the target ditch kept coming through the walkie-talkie.

"No. 1 target, 7 rings!"

"Target No. 10, miss!"

…………

It was Jiushan's turn, and ten new fighters lined up in front of the shooting position, with expressions of nervousness and excitement intertwined on their faces. Jiushan is at the tenth shooting position. He is the deputy squad leader in the class, and the deputy squad leader is always at the end of the queue. Following the monitor's command, he moved meticulously.

"Lie down!" Jiushan stretched his left arm forward, pressed his body down, and was lying on his side in the shooting position. The 81-bar automatic rifle lay quietly beside him.

"Prone position—gun inspection!"

"The gun inspection is complete!"

"Prone position—load bullets!"

"The bullet is loaded!"

"Shooting—ready!" Jiu Shan quickly took out the gun with his right hand, and adjusted his body posture in one step at the same time, with the butt of the gun firmly on the hollow of his right shoulder. The legs are separated at 40 degrees, the outside of the feet is close to the ground, and the extension line of the 81-bar automatic rifle is kept in a straight line with the upper body and the right leg.

Unlocking the safety, Jiushan pulled the bolt to let the first bullet enter the chamber.

"The shooting is ready!" Jiushan held the gun with his left hand, the back of his hand was close to the support formed by the sandbag, and the index finger of his right hand lightly touched the trigger. His right cheek was lightly pressed against the butt of the gun, his left eye was closed, and his right eye looked at the front sight through the gap in Wangshan, and placed the plane of the front sight and the gap at one-third of the blurred bull's-eye 100 meters away.

At this moment, Jiushan's brain was empty, and his breathing was light and steady. At this moment, the barrel of the automatic rifle has become an extension of his body.

"Beep—" a whistle sounded, and the firing order was issued.

Although good shooters are fed with bullets, there is indeed talent in shooting. Here, the most critical point is - close your eyes!

With the priming of the firing pin, the loud explosion of ammunition and the violent recoil of the gun, most people can't help blinking. This is an instinctive reaction that is very difficult to overcome, and it is also difficult to change through long-term training. However, some people can also train to minimize the impact of blinking on shooting, or even have no impact, and finally become a sharpshooter. But there are also some people who are born to resist this instinctive reaction. They can consciously open their eyes wide from the first shot, and turn a deaf ear to the explosion in front of them. These beasts who kill without blinking an eye... No, the beasts who shoot without blinking an eye undoubtedly have a much higher starting point.

Jiushan is such a beast among beasts!

Conscious firing,

Unconscious shot! According to the essentials of the action, Jiu Shan pulled the trigger unhurriedly, and the center of gravity of his gaze always fell on the front sight and the blurred white bullseye. He couldn't hear the gunshots from his comrades next to him, nor could he hear the target report from the recorder's walkie-talkie 20 meters behind him.

"No. 10 target, 10 rings!"

"No. 10 target, 10 rings!"

"No. 10 target, 10 rings!"

…………

At this time, Jiushan only has himself, the gun, and the target in his world. He is indulging in the dull gunshots and the smell of gunpowder.

It was not until the 81-bar automatic rifle stopped responding when the trigger was pulled again that Jiushan realized that the bullets had run out and his shooting was over. He didn't move, quietly waiting for the order to inspect the gun after the shooting was over.

"No. 10 target, 10 rings, 10 rings, 10 rings!! All hits on No. 10 targets, all hit 10 rings!!" The announcer shouted excitedly from the walkie-talkie on the recording platform.

"It's him again!" Huang Guangwei, who received the report, clicked his tongue: "This kid is born to be a soldier!"

"Regimental Commander, according to tradition, new recruits are also given third-class merit for hitting a full ring." The Chief of Staff reminded Captain Huang.

"This kid, isn't he a problem for the regiment?" Captain Huang said happily. It can be approved in the third-class merit group, and it is enough to report to the division. But this little guy, grenade throwing, 400-meter hurdles, live ammunition shooting, all three of which have reached the third-class standard, so you can't give him three third-class skills at once, right? Didn't you do that? The military has no such precedent.

The head of the regiment Huang Guanghong and other heads of the regiment cordially received the new fighter Comrade Jiushan, warmly praised Comrade Jiushan's outstanding achievements in the recruit training, and called on the commanders and fighters of the whole regiment to learn Comrade Jiushan's spirit of not being afraid of hardships and not being afraid of more hardships, Higher, faster, stronger and more accurate, use me in the first battle, use me to win. The leaders finally encouraged Comrade Jiushan to make persistent efforts and continue to achieve better results. Comrade Jiushan, a new fighter, said that he must keep in mind the chief's entrustment, and must continue to train hard to make further progress. The interview took place in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

After completing all the assessment and parade subjects, the recruits' awarding ceremony was held, and collar flowers and hat badges were distributed together with the new military ranks. Jiu Shan was neatly dressed in the queue, his expression was as excited and happy as other comrades in arms. Until this moment, he and they have become a real soldier, a real fighter.

Private Nine Mountains! !

Zhuoyang, I have already embarked on the first step of the road of worshiping the altar and becoming a general. In the future, I will definitely stand among the famous Chinese generals. This is my goal. Zhuoyang, Haiyang, Lao Mu, my good brothers, I will definitely make you proud of me!

Head Huang Guangwei looked at the neat and solemn queue and pondered for a while. He decided, report to the division headquarters, and ask for second-class merit for Private Jiushan!
