Death Eye took a few deep breaths to calm down his emotions, blew a few breaths into his hands, rubbed his hands, and then galloped off.

Gunshots rang out, and another hit hit four out of five.

I have to say that Death Eye played very steadily, with no major mistakes or ups and downs in the middle.

Unexpectedly, Chen Tianhua's performance was more stable this round and he scored another perfect hit.

Next came the fourth round, and Death Eye also performed exceptionally, with a full house and Chen Tianhua on a par.

Both of them performed at an extremely high level, winning bursts of applause from the audience, and the officials on the viewing platform were also very excited.

Li Cunzhi held the telescope, his hands trembling with nervousness. Of course he hoped that his son-in-law Chen Tianhua would win.

Mounted shooting is infinitely more entertaining than lying down and rapid shooting. This high-level competition really feasted the eyes of tens of thousands of spectators.

Soon, we reached the fifth round, which was the final round.

At this time, the two were still tied, 17 to 17.

Chen Tianhua lost three points in a row in the first round, and then made all three points in the second, third, and fourth rounds.

To the surprise of Osamu Kurata and other Japanese instructors, the shooting instructor, who was called the Death Eye, was not as perfect as he had imagined, and was able to pull away from Chen Tianhua in terms of score.

It should be said that they underestimated their opponents and Chen Tianhua performed well, so it was unexpected.

The last round of psychological pressure was more on Death Eye, who shot first. It depends on who has the stronger psychological endurance.

The atmosphere at the scene was so tense that no one dared to breathe loudly.

Death Eye took a few deep breaths, then rode his horse and stood in the shooting position.

"Bang...bang..."

"..."

In the last round, Death Eye fired six shots in a row, resulting in four more hits. Although the last shot hit the balloon, it clearly passed the finish line, and all five judges at the finish line waved flags.

The Japanese people present first burst out with a short burst of cheers, and then there was a sigh of regret after the flag fell.

Seeing the hope of victory, the people of the Qing Dynasty immediately suppressed the urge to celebrate, and each of them held their breath and cast their victorious eyes on Chen Tianhua.

Chen Tianhua adjusted his breathing to be as gentle as possible, calmly rode his horse and stood in the shooting position.

Now all the pressure has fallen on him.

If he continues to hit a Grand Slam, he will win.

If it hits four, it's another draw.

If one scores three or less, it goes without saying that he will definitely lose.

Chen Tianhua's psychological quality is definitely stronger than the Death Eye. Special training in his past life has made him an elite member. He always scores high in the psychological stress test.

To be honest, his personality has developed into a competition type, or a fighting type.

But it is a critical moment, and the better you perform, the better.

You may be a little nervous at the beginning, but when you really face pressure, you will only perform better.

What's even more valuable is that the big black horse has completely adapted to the venue. Whenever its owner straightens his back, puts his feet on the stirrups, and raises his butt slightly, he knows that his owner is going to shoot, and spreads his hooves as smoothly as a mountain.

"Bang…"

"..."

As the gun fired in his hand, everything seemed natural, and the result was just as everyone hoped, with all five shots hitting and no bullets missed.

After Chen Tianhua put down his gun and turned his horse around, tens of thousands of spectators at the Qiying shooting range burst into deafening cheers, which almost overturned the entire shooting range.

In addition to cheers, some in the crowd also expressed regret and frustration.

Osamu Kurata was chattering in front of the Shinigami, probably to encourage him.

Mr. Li San and several other pro-Japanese officers had complicated expressions.

The Death Eye, which usually looks arrogant to everyone, was thwarted, and the Japanese instructors regretted that the collective honor of the group was damaged.

The award ceremony was completed in the morning. By this time, it was already 11:30. The fighting and tactical competition could only be held after 1:30 in the afternoon, with a two-hour lunch break.

Chen Tianhua finally won the first shooting competition, and the officers and soldiers of the Third Association were naturally celebrating.

The Japanese instructors were a little disappointed, but they had to admire this legend in the world. He did have a few tricks up his sleeve.

These people have never seen Chen Tianhua make an appearance before, and even Li Pinzhang and Li Sangong have seen their younger brother-in-law's real kung fu for the first time, and now they no longer feel disdainful.

Chen Tianhua said to the team members who gathered around him, "You see, the Japanese instructors are really good at what they do, and they are not just in vain."

The team members all nodded in agreement.

Everyone gathered around their master and went to the training camp's specially designed canteen to dine.

There were too many people at the scene. The total number of soldiers participating in the ceremony and work was more than 500. Although the training camp has five canteens of different sizes, there are not so many tables and benches. Ordinary soldiers sit on the floor to eat, eat rice, steamed buns and Big pot dishes are served in wooden barrels and tubs.

Chen Tianhua, Sun Yong, Li Xinghong and others gathered around a table to eat. Next door were the Japanese instructors. They chatted in Japanese, summarizing the morning and preparing for the afternoon competition. Chen Tianhua could hear clearly.

On the viewing platform, Governor Zhang Zengyang looked very happy. He, Tang Jixun and other officials congratulated Li Cunzhi one after another.

Chen Tianhua won. Not only did he represent the new army of Zhejiang Province, but also the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. All the officials of the Qing Dynasty here felt proud.

Personally speaking, Chen Tianhua won, and Li Cunzhi, the father-in-law, was of course very proud of it.

In addition to being happy, Li Cunzhi invited all the adults to have a meal in the small canteen of the training camp. He specially arranged a luncheon.

The general public no longer have such conditions.

Although the sun was shining brightly during the first month of the year, it was still freezing inside the empty campus. I had just watched the lively competition, and I didn’t feel cold due to the excitement, but I couldn’t stand the silence.

Everyone found their way to the eaves and against the wall to bask in the sun. Many people were preparing to go hungry in order to watch the competition in the afternoon. There was more oil and water than usual in the first month, so it didn't matter if they were hungry.

Those who are more sophisticated or from richer families will go out of the flag camp to eat on the street.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, half of the restaurants were not open yet, and a few restaurants were so crowded that people had to queue up to eat. As a result, the steamed bun shops were looted, and they couldn't even sell enough steamed buns in a hurry.

Some people even become second-hand dealers and sell them at high prices.

…

In the afternoon, there was a martial arts competition. More people came to watch the battle. The news spread like a pot. The military strengthened the on-site security force to prevent crowding and loss of life.

There was also a commotion on the viewing platform. A group of uninvited guests came. When I looked closely, they were the consul from the Japanese Consulate in Hangzhou and others. Among them was Colonel Hideo Fujita, the representative of the Japanese military in East China.

Li Cunzhi and others quickly stood up to greet them.
Chapter completed!
