Chapter 34 Morning Exercise

Chapter 34 Morning Exercise

Early morning camp.

Many refugees who were awakened by the slogans outside the tents saw a strange sight as soon as they left the tents.

On the outside of the "iron basket wall" of the camp, a dozen people were running in circles around the camp. These people were shouting slogans and running panting, forming a long queue.

"Pay attention to your breathing, keep your speed, and keep up." Wang Yuanfang stopped in the team, jogging on the spot while shouting to the people in front and behind him.

"Squad leader, just run five laps today. I haven't practiced for several years and my physical strength is not strong." After running four laps, Deng Fei was panting.

"Zhao Xin, keep your breathing rhythm!" Wang Yuanfang shouted to Zhao Xin.

"I shouldn't have opened the door this morning!" Zhao Xin followed Deng Fei from a distance, adjusting his breathing rate and cursing secretly in his heart.

At dawn, Zhao Xin, who was sleeping in the RV, was awakened by a hurried knock on the door. He thought something had happened in the camp, so he got up quickly. When he opened the door, he saw that it was Wang Yuanfang and the six of them.

Ask Zhao Xin to come out and run and exercise together.

Zhao Xin was too embarrassed to refuse, so he had to put on his clothes and run along.

The current refugee camp is surrounded by explosion-proof walls to form a square, with each side being more than 200 meters long. If you run around the outer wall of the camp, it will be more than 800 meters long.

When Wang Yuanfang came up, he said he should run ten laps, but Zhao Xin refused even to death. Five laps at most!

After running two laps, Zhao Xin wanted to slap himself in the mouth. Why did he say five laps? Three laps would be enough.

Early in the morning, I walked up to a four-kilometer distance. Zhao Xin's physique, which has not been exercised for a long time, was really fatal.

In fact, the five of them, Liu Sheng, were very tired. After all, they had been discharged from the army for several years. At the beginning, they could insist on going out to exercise every morning, but later they no longer cared about it.

Only Wang Yuanfang was better off. He was once a five-kilometer cross-country pacesetter in the army. After retiring from the army, he has been doing odd jobs and doing manual labor in the past few years. However, it is a bit strenuous to jump up to 4,000 meters.

The most troublesome ones are Rikichi, Katsu Kaishu and the other seven.

When Zhao Xin and the others started shouting "one two one", Li Ji woke up. He didn't know what happened, so he hurried out of the tent to check. He saw the lord, Mr. Liu and the five newcomers from yesterday, shouting

Playing the trumpet and running in circles around the outer wall of the camp.

"What kind of trouble is this?" Li Ji was confused and quickly ran over to call Zhao Xin, wanting to ask his lord what are you doing?

Zhao Xinzheng was not angry. He saw another one coming and just waved.

Li Ji saw that the master was calling him, so he should follow him.

Then came Katsu Kaishu, Heita, Kuzo, Manzo, and Kosuke, who were preparing to practice swordsmanship in the morning. They all came one after another.

So the team of fourteen people gradually became longer and longer. At first, Li Ji and the seven of them could still follow Zhao Xin closely, but later it became a long line. Liu Sheng's side had already run through a corner of the camp, running in front of Zhao Xin.

The last Wan Zao hadn't even turned a corner yet.

There's no way around it. It's a natural deficiency. The legs of the "Seven Samurai" are too short and they can't move.

Katsu Kaishu's physical strength was pretty good, but he had never run like this before. Jiuzang and Tora ran the most smoothly because they both grew up in the mountains and were used to running.

After everyone finished running five laps and stopped at the "gate" (now just a fence gate built with wood) on the west side of the camp, everyone except Wang Yuanfang was so tired that they stretched out.

Wan Zao sat down on the ground, panting and muttering: "Sir, this is a good life, I don't want to spend it..."

Torasuke came over and said, "I think you feel that we don't practice enough every morning."

Li Ji regrets everything at this moment. His master is so enigmatic, why should I go up to him and ask him? I can just watch him honestly.

Sheng Haizhou was too tired to speak, and thought to himself: "I guess I did something wrong again, the lord is punishing us."

Although Heita and Jiuzang were also sweating, they felt very relaxed. This was not a problem at all! There would be no problem if they did two more laps.

"Get up, don't sit down!" Wang Yuanfang walked up to everyone and kicked a few who were sitting and panting.

"Stand up and walk slowly, don't sit down." Zhao Xin said in a hoarse voice to Sheng Haizhou and the others, then turned to A Miao who was standing at the camp gate and said, "Water."

A Miao immediately bowed: "Hai~~" and hurriedly came over and handed the water glass in her arms to Zhao Xin.

other people……

Ding Guofeng looked up to the sky and sighed: "Loli has three good things~~"

After breakfast, Zhao Xin asked Sheng Haizhou to continue arranging work as planned on weekdays, and then convene everyone for a meeting after noon.

Liu Sheng took the tool and found the place where the wood was piled. He found a piece of wood that was two meters long and as thick as an arm. He trimmed the wood with an ax and then chopped one end of the wood into a sharp point.

Then he carried the wood to find Liji and found an empty cardboard box from the pile of supplies. He spread the cardboard box out and cut out a few of the largest parts. Then Liu Sheng used a pen and ruler to carefully mark the target on the cardboard box.

I drew a big cross, and drew many layers of circles on the cross, one inside the other. After I finished drawing, I nailed the paper target to the wooden strips.

After all this was done, Liu Sheng called everyone into the RV and began to explain the characteristics and uses of the guns in their hands.

It is said that the twenty assault rifles that Zhao Xin bought for the first time were all HK416 rifles produced by Heckler and Koch, which are also the famous "chicken" game artifacts.

What Zhao Xin purchased from Dannie was the military version of the HK416 A7. The barrel length is 14.5 inches, the total gun weight is 3.69 kilograms, and it uses 5.56mm x 45 NATO bullets. Each gun is equipped with two magazines.

When Wang Yuanfang and the other five people saw the gun, they were full of praise for its exquisite workmanship. But when they asked Liu Sheng the price of the gun, their jaws dropped to the ground in shock, and they immediately became cautious.

, for fear of getting bumped.

The market price is $43,800, and the black market price is double that, not counting the holographic sight and triple sight magnifier.

And what was the price of the 95 rifles used by the six of them before? Hehe, the purchase price was about 4,000 yuan; and the 97 rifle sold overseas was only 5,000 yuan.

"What a bastard!" Ding Guofeng looked at the gun in his hand and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"This gun is much heavier than the 95." Wang Yuanfang weighed the weight.

"No, my neck was sore after carrying it for a whole day last time." Zhao Xin explained.

"I asked him to buy an AK or M4, but he insisted on buying this, 20 of them! Full set of configurations." Liu Sheng said dissatisfied.

"You know what P, this configuration is higher than the configuration of the Marine Corps on the other side of the ocean. Just be satisfied." Zhao Xin laughed and cursed casually.

"Okay. I decided to sleep with it in my arms at night. Bah bah~~" Deng Fei kissed the gun, and ended up kissing the anti-rust oil.

When everyone saw it, they began to wipe off the anti-rust oil with a cloth, and then applied gun oil again. The two guns used by Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng had not been wiped before, so let's do it together this time.

After the gun oil was wiped off, the seven people carried the bullets, magazines, and targets to the beach.

Before leaving, Zhao Xin told Li Ji not to let the refugees go to the beach and to keep an eye on their children. Zhao Xin especially named Wan Zao's son with a big snot nose.

Liji hurried out to convey the master's order. Now Wan Zao's snot-nosed son was in a terrible situation. His mother dragged him to the kitchen and kept him locked up for a whole day.

On this day, the bursts of gunshots coming from the seaside made the refugees working in and outside the camp frightened. Some refugees were so frightened that they ran away into the woods. These people thought it was the shogunate sending troops.

Well, go to the island and fire cannons to start a direct attack, leaving no one alive.

Besides, Zhao Xin and others arrived at the coast south of the camp. They first found a sheltered position, dug a hole with a shovel, and buried the target deeply into the soil.

In one morning, I fired more than 200 rounds intermittently. Everyone fired very slowly. Basically, after firing three rounds, I would stop for a while and then check the impact point on the target.

The purpose of this is to adjust the scope.

First of all, when everyone was installing the scope, Zhao Xin first took the instruction manual to explain. When installing, make sure that the scope and the barrel are coaxial. Pay attention to clamping the upper cover of the scope. After tightening the clamping screw, is the gap correct?

Evenly. Only after this is completed can we start calibrating the gun.

In the second step, because the scales on the scope are all inches, first aim at the center of the cross on the target from a distance of ten meters and shoot, and then use a ruler to measure the deviation between the bullseye and the impact point.

The third step, then requires mathematical calculations. If the impact point of the first shot and the position of the bullseye are offset by 21 mm, and each screwing on the scope is equivalent to an offset of 6.35 mm at 91 meters (imperial 100 yards)

Offset 1/4 inch). Then the actual amount of movement when twisting one square at a position 10 meters away from the target is 6.35 divided by 9, and finally it is about 0.7 mm. As we have measured before, the deviation of the impact point is 20 mm, then

Just divide 20 by 0.7, then the scope needs to be adjusted by turning 28 to 29 clicks.

The fourth step is to fire another shot after adjusting. If the error is basically gone, continue to fire a few more shots and check the spread of the impact point. If it doesn't work, continue to fine-tune. After the horizontal adjustment is completed, adjust the vertical height until the gun is in the center of the target.

.

Step 5: According to the calculation logic above, continue testing at 30 meters, 50 meters, 80 meters or even 200 meters.

The whole process is very tedious and requires skills, mathematical knowledge and patience.

Zhao Xin didn't have time to do this in the afternoon. He first took the instruction manual of the scope and told everyone how to install it according to the English instructions; then he ran around using a ruler to measure the deviation and then calculated it. He was busy until noon.

By the time, basically the other six people also understood.

So Zhao Xin simply asked Liu Sheng to calibrate his gun for him in the afternoon, and he also had a meeting with Sheng Haizhou and the others.

The Seven Samurai sat in the RV nervously, not knowing where to put their hands and feet. This was their first time coming in, and the decorations in the RV dazzled them.

The tabby cat is lying on the driver's seat in front of the car, lazily basking in the sun.

Sheng Haizhou first reported on the consumption of food. After all, farming cannot be done this winter, so everyone can only consume the stored food until spring. Then he reported on the use and damage of materials; then came logging, filling and other projects

progress; finally, he briefly talked about the progress of the other six people’s recent martial arts training.

After everything was reported, Sheng Haizhou finally said what he was worried about.

"Lord, if that Kurgazi comes again, what should I do?"

"We can't just change it casually, we have to set a rule." Zhao Xin said thoughtfully.

"Please let me know, Lord."

"You two remember, five mink skins are exchanged for a coat, and two mink skins are exchanged for a pair of shoes. As for the pot... three mink skins will do."

Pingtai said in embarrassment: "My lord, there is no mink in the fur goods that Yaliha brought."

Zhao Xin slapped his forehead. Where are the mink skins now? The Kurkhaqi people's mink skins have all gone to Ninggu Pagoda to pay tribute to the Manchus.

"Then otter skins, fox skins are also acceptable. Five otter skins are exchanged for a coat, two otter skins are exchanged for a pair of shoes, and the pot is ten. Pingtai, you have to remember that the fur color of fur products is based on solid color.

Mottled value is halved.”

Pingtai quickly bowed and agreed.

"It looks like we need to prepare a batch of iron pots." Zhao Xin tapped his fingers on the table, thinking in his mind.

"In addition, there are two things that you need to convey my orders to the people in the camp. The first is that everyone must learn to speak Chinese."

"Learn Chinese?" The seven people looked at Zhao Xin in surprise. Sheng Haizhou had no problem writing Chinese characters, but he really couldn't speak Chinese.

"Yes, I will teach you this." Zhao Xin's mind flashed back to the scene in the future camp where a group of refugees would recite tongue twisters every morning. It's so exciting to think about it~~~

"The second thing is that before the sea ice melts in the spring next year, we will cross the strait and go north."

"Going north?" Several people were stunned after hearing this.

"Yes, now there is only a large area of ​​idle fertile land in the north. To rescue more people and feed them, we must go north." Zhao Xin said decisively.
