After the grenade throwing training is over, the recruit company has the last assessment item left, which is target shooting. Immediately afterwards, the recruits of the second company were taken to the target shooting range by the platoon leader to prepare for the target shooting assessment.
There are ten shooting points on the target shooting site, and ten targets are placed one hundred meters opposite each shooting point. Below the target is a trench. The deputy squad leaders of each class squat in the trench and are responsible for recording the target shooting results of the recruits in their class.
"Squad 1, come here to get the bullets." A platoon leader stood not far away and greeted the recruits.
I saw several wooden boxes in front of the platoon leader. The wooden boxes were painted with green paint, and rows of bullets were neatly stored in the boxes.
Hearing the shouts, the squad leader took the recruits of the first squad to a row long position to receive bullets, magazines and numbered cards. The numbered cards numbered one to ten and needed to be hung on the body. There were ten bullets for each person. After receiving the bullets, the recruits, under the leadership of the squad leader, pressed all ten bullets into the magazines.
"Have all the bullets been pressed into the magazine?" Class One asked the recruits of Class One.
"It's ready." A group of new recruits replied one after another.
In order to ensure that there were no accidents, a squad leader walked up to each recruit and checked the loading status of everyone's bullets one by one. After confirming that there was no problem, he continued to say to the recruits in the first group: "Okay, now everyone walks to their respective shooting points according to their numbers, stand up, and then wait for my order."
A group of recruits walked to each person's gun according to their numbers, lay down on the ground, facing the target, and waited for further orders from the squad leader.
"Load the magazine." The squad leader gave the command.
After hearing the command, the recruits immediately loaded the magazine containing bullets into the gun, then held the gun tightly with both hands and took aim.
At this time, Li Xiang's location was target No. 3. He lay on the ground and carefully recalled the key points of the formula taught by the squad leader during the original training.
"Close your left eye, open your right eye, and look at the front sight through the gap. The front sight is located in the gap, and the upper edge is level with the target."
Li Xiang recited this mantra three times in his mind consciously, then adjusted his breathing to keep his mind balanced.
"Prepare."
The squad leader gave everyone sufficient preparation time so that everyone could get into the best condition.
"shooting."
After hearing the order to shoot, Li Xiang immediately held his breath, held the gun tightly with both hands, put the butt of the gun against his shoulder, and pulled the trigger in his hand.
"clatter!"
The bullet is fired forward at a very high speed along the trajectory of the gun barrel, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and then hits the target. pretty! The first bullet hit a perfect ten-ring mark, and the deputy squad leader, who was squatting under the trench to report the target, immediately recorded the score for Li Xiang.
"Da da da……."
When Li Xiang was about to aim and shoot again, a sudden burst of gunfire disrupted Li Xiang's thoughts. Li Xiang looked up and saw that it was Gao Jie next to him who did it. Listening to the sound, Gao Jie must have shot out all ten bullets in one go. Looking at it like this, Gao Jie's target shooting results are not much better.
"Gao Jie, have you forgotten everything about what I taught you? Didn't you know to choose a single shot before shooting? It's okay now. With this shooting result, I guess you will be at the bottom of our company."
The squad leader criticized Gao Jie helplessly. Anyway, all the bullets had been fired and the facts could not be changed.
"Hahaha... monitor, I forgot." Gao Jie responded awkwardly.
"Comrades who have finished firing their bullets, please don't move for now. Lie down where you are and wait for my command."
In order not to affect the normal performance of others, the squad leader asked Gao Jie to continue lying on the spot, waiting for all the recruits to finish shooting before getting up together.
Li Xiang turned around, calmed down his mood, continued to aim at his target, and then adjusted to the best state again according to the instructions taught by the squad leader.
"clatter!"
Another ten rings. In order to encourage Li Xiang, the deputy squad leader who was squatting under the trench drew a thumbs up on a piece of paper, and then raised it with a bamboo pole to show Li Xiang. Seeing the encouragement from the deputy squad leader, Li Xiang's confidence in target shooting instantly increased a lot. Li Xiang adjusted his condition again and prepared to shoot.
"Da da!……."
After all ten bullets were fired, Li Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"stand up."
When the squad leader saw that Li Xiang had fired the last bullet, he ordered everyone to stand up and let the next group come over to continue shooting.
At this time, the deputy squad leader squatting under the trench had no time to check Li Xiang's specific target shooting results, because the next group was about to play, and the deputy squad leader had to prepare the targets for the next group. The deputy squad leader hurriedly marked Li Xiang's name on the target that Li Xiang had hit, then put it away and waited to tally the results after returning to the company in the evening.
…
Returning to the camp in the evening, Gao Jie passed by the door of the company headquarters office and suddenly heard the backbone of the company counting the target shooting results. So Gao Jie quietly stood at the door and secretly listened in on the conversation between the company commander and several key members of the company.
"Company Commander, the shooting scores of our entire company have been calculated. Our second recruit company has a sharpshooter. This sharpshooter is Li Xiang. His shooting scores are perfect."
The platoon leader took the target that Li Xiang had shot, walked to the company commander, and reported to the company commander.
"What? Perfect scores? So Li Xiang hit all ten rings. Show me his target."
The platoon leader sent the target that Li Xiang had shot to the company commander. The company commander took it in his hand and examined it carefully. Sure enough, all ten bullet holes were punched in the ten rings.
"Oops! I didn't expect that Li Xiang is still a sharpshooter. I have to have a chat with him later." The company commander kept praising Li Xiang's target shooting performance.
After Gao Jie heard the news, he immediately rushed back to the dormitory. He couldn't wait to tell Li Xiang the news. At this time, Li Xiang was also anxiously waiting for his target shooting results in the dormitory.
"Li Xiang, do you know what your target shooting score is?" Gao Jie said loudly to Li Xiang as soon as he entered the door.
"How much?" Li Xiang immediately jumped out of bed and asked Gao Jie. Li Xiang couldn't wait to know his target shooting results.
"Guess." Gao Jie deliberately kept it secret and did not tell Li Xiang.
Seeing Gao Jie smiling happily, Li Xiang guessed that he must have achieved good results, otherwise Gao Jie would not smile so happily.
"Well, 96 points." Li Xiang didn't dare to say too high.
"More." Gao Jie teased Li Xiang with his eyes.
When Gao Jie asked him to add a little more, Li Xiang immediately became as happy as a child and jumped up and said, "That's 98 points."
"More."
At this time, Gao Jie had whetted everyone's appetite, and the recruits from the first class gathered towards Gao Jie.
"99 points." Li Xiang couldn't imagine that he would get full marks.
"One...hundred...points." Gao Jie told everyone word by word.
"Really? Gao Jie, you're not lying to me, are you?" Li Xiang didn't quite believe Gao Jie's words, because Gao Jie usually deceived him.
"Li Xiang, believe me, I really didn't lie to you this time. When I passed by the company headquarters conference room just now, I heard what the company commander said with my own ears. The company commander also said that our second company has a sharpshooter. You Li Xiang." Gao Jie happily hugged Li Xiang.
At this time, the first squad leader also came back from the company headquarters. In order to confirm whether he had perfect scores, Li Xiang asked the first squad leader: "Squad leader, is my target shooting score 100 points?"
"Li Xiang, congratulations, you really scored 100%." The squad leader said with a smile.
Immediately, all the recruits in the first class cheered, and they all congratulated Li Xiang for getting a perfect score. Li Xiang jumped up even more excitedly and shouted: "Oh yeah! I actually got 100 points! Oh yeah! I am the sharpshooter of the second company!..."
