When you are fully integrated into a positive and motivated group, you will find that time flies very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the recruit company has completed one-third of its training.
One month later, before lights out
Gao Cheng and Shi Jin were walking around the dormitory, talking about tomorrow's arrangements.
"Shi Jin, you are the oldest soldier among the veterans of the recruit company. Tomorrow you will let the recruits handle firearms. You must be careful. Especially when shooting, you must strictly follow the procedures to prevent any accidents."
Shi Jin nodded and responded: "Yes, I will urge everyone to strictly follow the standards. Don't worry, company commander."
"Okay, the other thing is, take a closer look tomorrow to see if there are any seeds with better marksmanship emerging."
Gao Cheng looked up at the night sky, thought for a moment, and continued: "By the way, have you paid attention to the seedlings I asked you to pay attention to? You can't let other companies snatch them away."
"Don't worry, company commander, I've got the right person and name. I also know some of their characteristics, and I won't let you go."
Shi Jin patted his chest and assured.
Seeing Shi Jin's confident assurance, Gao Cheng's heart dropped. He reached into his trouser pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes, gave one to Shi Jin, and lit one himself.
Just as he clicked on it, Gao Cheng's ears twitched and he seemed to hear something. He quickly looked to the side of the dormitory building and rushed over with Shi Jin.
"who"
"Who's there, come out"
As soon as he ran over, he saw Jiang Bei, covered in sweat, standing up from the ground and saluting the two of them.
"Company commander, platoon commander"
"Jiangbei, what are you doing here? Why don't you go in and take a rest? The lights will be turned off soon."
Gao Cheng hadn't spoken yet, so Shi Jin quickly asked the reason.
"Report to the company commander and platoon commander, my upper body strength is not good, so I'll make do with an overtime shift to practice more."
Jiang Bei patted the dust on his hands, wiped the sweat from his face, and explained.
Seeing the dust on Jiang Bei's body, Gao Cheng raised the corner of his mouth and said to Jiang Bei: "Jiang Bei, actually you don't have to work so hard. You are a college student. Once you pass the recruit company, the division will let you work at the regiment headquarters or even within the division.
At that time, with your knowledge and a little bit of effort, the division will recommend you to go to the military academy, and you might become a lieutenant when you graduate."
"Why do you have to fight like ordinary soldiers? You think so, Shi Jin"
Shi Jin didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement.
When Jiangbei heard what Gao Cheng said, his face became serious and he said loudly: "Report to the company commander, I am a party member. I gave up my high-paying job and joined the army because I want to be a soldier of the Chinese People's Liberation Army who is not afraid of hardship or tiredness and has a spirit of sacrifice. And
He is not someone who relies on academic qualifications to occupy a position and does not eat whole grains.”
After listening to Jiang Bei's words, Gao Cheng fully recognized Jiang Bei in his heart, but he remained calm on his face and continued to ask: "Jiang Bei, I don't agree with what you said. Those highly educated staff officers also earned their positions through hard work step by step.
, why don’t you eat whole grains?”
Jiang Bei was suddenly speechless, but it didn't stump him. He chose to pursue the true voice in his heart.
"Company commander, platoon commander, when I was a child, my first dream was to be a pilot, and my second dream was to be a soldier. The reason is that I saw those pilots who risked their lives for the country on TV, and saw various natural disasters.
Among them, those soldiers who jumped into the water and blocked the hole with their bodies regardless of their own safety."
Speaking of this, Jiang Bei took off his military cap, touched the five-pointed star, and said firmly: "I don't want to say anything about patriotism. I don't need to say those things. I just use two words."
"Hot blood, hot blood of men"
"I saw the hot blood in them, and the hot blood of men. They have it, and I have it too, so I chose to join the army. I also want to join the strongest company. Only in this way can the hot blood not cool down."
"Report to the company commander, this is my answer"
Gao Cheng and Shi Jin looked at each other. They had led many soldiers and had contact with many people. They knew that Jiang Bei's words were very sincere.
"Okay, that's well said. I saw you right. As long as you maintain your current state, I, the Seventh Steel Company, will decide on you."
Gao Cheng had already ignored his initial worries about Jiang Bei, smiled like a rotten persimmon, and directly assured Jiang Bei by patting his chest.
"Shi Jin, Jiangbei will be left to you from now on. Take Wu Liuyi to help him practice and make up for his shortcomings."
"yes"
Gao Cheng explained to Shi Jin and left with a smile.
When Shi Jin saw Gao Cheng leaving, he walked up to Jiang Bei with a happy face, helped him pick up the clothes placed by the flower bed, and took Jiang Bei back to the dormitory.
When Wu Liu saw the two people coming in, his face was full of questions. Just as he was about to ask questions, he was pulled out by Shi Jin.
"Jiangbei, you have a good rest. It won't be too late to practice again tomorrow."
next day
When the three-kilometer run before breakfast every day was completed, the recruits no longer thought about cooking.
Because Gao Cheng has told them that this morning, the long-awaited live ammunition shooting is coming.
The recruits were overjoyed. After finishing their housework, they whispered to each other on the way to the canteen. They wished they could skip breakfast and head to the shooting range immediately.
Gao Cheng didn't care about the noisiness of the new recruits. He knew that no man could refuse live ammunition shooting.
Since everyone wanted to see guns and ammunition as early as possible and shoot live ammunition as early as possible, today's meal was extremely fast. In less than a while, all the recruits finished their breakfast and looked at the few people in Gao Cheng who were still dining.
Seeing everyone looking at him with longing eyes, Gao Cheng glared at the recruits, smiled and cursed: "What are you looking at? I have flowers on my face, and the gun is not here with me. What use do you think I have? Since I have eaten, why don't you hurry up?"
Go to the shooting range, Wu Liuyi, you lead the team."
"yes"
range,
The new recruits were all standing in the assembly area waiting. More than a dozen veterans, following the commander's orders, moved the August 1 automatic rifles out of a military truck and inspected them one by one before placing them at the shooting point.
The ammunition box was carried by several serious-faced veterans and placed on the table.
The launchers and safety officers are all in place.
After all preparations were completed, the recruits were brought into the field and stood in order according to the class order.
Before collecting the ammunition, Shi Jin carefully emphasized to everyone the precautions for live ammunition shooting, and then everyone was ready to go to collect the ammunition clips, and then received the bullets from the shooter.
The number of bullets is not many, only five rounds, which is not as much as the ammunition issued during the military training at Jiangbei University.
You must know that the university in Jiangbei is a key university, and the military training was at the army base. At that time, live ammunition shooting was carried out, and it was also an Bayi automatic rifle with ten rounds of ammunition.
It's just that Jiangbei didn't have any sense of shooting at that time. He fired ten bullets in one shot, and he didn't experience the fun of shooting at all.
"Recruit, compact the bullets and shoot according to what the squad leader explained a few days ago. Take your time."
When they arrived at the shooting point, the security officer patted Jiangbei and comforted him.
Jiang Bei nodded in agreement and lowered his head to press the bullet. He had no problem. In the previous week, Wu Liuyi had thoroughly explained the shooting essentials of the Bayi Gun.
Jiangbei also disassembled it several times. Although it was an empty gun, it made Jiangbei very familiar with the Bayi automatic rifle.
He quickly loaded the bullet and clicked the magazine neatly into place. This familiar action surprised the safety officer next to him.
"Okay, recruit, the movements are very neat, but take your time when shooting, feel bullet by bullet, and aim. Three minutes is enough. You don't need to care about the results. The important thing is to feel the shooting process.
"
Shi Jin stood behind everyone, holding a small red flag, blowing a whistle and shouting loudly.
"Attention everyone, listen to my command, load the bullets, turn on the safety, and aim at the bullseye."
