"The Fourth Company and Platoon are doing something big again!"
The news spread like a winged bird throughout the new corps.
In addition to the two platoon commanders of the second and third platoons, company commander Xie Dong also frowned in the company headquarters office when he heard the clerk come in to report the matter to him.
"What happened?" Company Commander Xie Dong subconsciously reached out and touched his eyebrows: "No wonder my eyelids keep twitching!"
The clerk said: "Didn't the first platoon set up a shooting training team to open a small stove? They used to do it at noon, but today it was weird. I started lying down on the training field at noon and stopped moving. It was still there in the afternoon. At first I thought I practiced for an extra hour, but they still haven’t dispersed and are still there.”
Xie Dong quickly asked: "How long did it last?"
The clerk scratched his head: "I don't know. It starts at noon. I don't know the specific time. How come it's more than two hours?"
"This Hou Jun..."
Xie Dong thought to himself.
"Always get something done for me."
He picked up the small hat and put it on his head, stood up and pointed to the training ground and said to the clerk: "Let's go and see what tricks Hou Jun is doing!"
The clerk smiled and said: "He himself was training together, lying there without moving."
Xie Dong, who walked to the company door, was immediately immobilized as if he were having his acupuncture points pressed. He turned around and looked at the clerk with disbelief and said, "What did you say? He, Hou Jun, is also following suit?"
The clerk said: "Yes, when I saw it just now, I asked Wu Yi. Wu Yi said that they were training the stability of the gun, saying it was a test of endurance and willpower, but they ended up lying down until noon."
"Nonsense!" Xie Dong looked out the window. It was autumn weather and the sun was shining brightly in the sky. Even though it was three o'clock in the afternoon, it was still steaming outside, like an oven.
"That's training only for top snipers. What kind of stability training does the recruit Danzi do? Isn't Hou Jun crazy?!"
At this time, he felt a little uneasy.
As a company commander, he was afraid of accidents during training.
If a soldier has a problem, I, the company commander, will probably be criticized for a small matter. If a big problem occurs, it may not be as simple as being criticized.
He quickly left the company headquarters and ran down the stairs. When he reached the first floor, he ran toward the training ground without even returning the salute from the guard on duty.
Arriving at the shooting comprehensive training ground, Xie Dong took a look from a distance and took a breath of air.
It's over!
Not only did people from other battalions come to watch, but squad and platoon leaders from other regiments also brought soldiers over to watch the fun.
In the distance, he saw the back of Battalion Commander Liang Hu.
Even the battalion commander was alarmed. This Hou Jun was really capable of causing trouble!
After jogging all the way to Liang Hu's side, Xie Dong saluted and said immediately: "Batalion Commander, I'll ask them to stop..."
Before he could finish his words, a scream was heard from the crowd.
Then I heard Fatty Wei shouting: "Someone has fainted!"
Passed out?
Xie Dong's heart skipped a beat and he quickly rushed forward with three steps and two steps at a time.
"Who fainted?"
A group of recruits separated into a circle and saw one person lying on the ground. At first glance, I remembered that it was a recruit named Yang Hui.
He made a prompt decision and waved to the clerk who was following him: "Take someone to the health worker at the battalion headquarters immediately, quickly!"
Soon, several soldiers came up and carried the fainted Yang Hui away to the camp headquarters.
Xie Dong was furious.
The battalion commander was staring not far away. He wanted to explain to him, but before he could explain, someone had already fainted.
There is no room for accidents in training.
It’s really what you worry about that will come!
He turned around and asked Wu Yi, "Squad Leader 1, what are you doing!"
Wu Yi said: "Today is a small competition between our platoon and ourselves, organized by the platoon leader."
Xie Dong turned his head and looked at Hou Jun, who was lying on the ground as if isolated from the world. He knew that he, a soldier of the same age, could hold on for twice as long, let alone three hours.
The question is, how can the new recruit next to him stand up?
Will you risk your life?
"Do it blindly!"
He glared at Wu Yi fiercely, turned around, walked to Hou Jun, and shouted at Hou Jun, who was still lying motionless on the ground: "Platoon leader! Get up!"
Hou Jun did not move.
"I order you to get up!"
Hou Jun still didn't move.
"You're fucking ridiculous!" He wanted to pull Hou Jun up, but suddenly someone behind him grabbed him.
"Don't worry."
"Don't worry..."
Xie Dong became anxious and turned around to curse.
As a result, when I turned around to see who was coming, I swallowed the last half of the sentence.
The person standing behind him was none other than Deputy Division Commander Zhang Wenqing.
"Deputy Commander Zhang..."
Xie Dong quickly saluted.
"Why are you here?"
Zhang Wenqing said: "I just arrived and I saw a bunch of people surrounding me when I passed by, so I came over to take a look."
As he spoke, he glanced at the three soldiers on the ground, and then motioned to Xie Dong to move back.
When the two of them arrived more than ten meters away, Zhang Wenqing asked, "How long have you been lying here?"
Xie Dong said: "It starts at noon, I don't know the specific time."
Zhang Wenqing took another look, and his eyes fell on the cartridge case above the muzzle flash suppressor.
"Stability training with guns?"
Xie Dong knew that he couldn't hide it from Zhang Wenqing, so he could only nod: "Yes, yes."
Zhang Wenqing said: "This is a common training method for snipers. Do you recruits do it too?"
Xie Dong gritted his teeth and said, "Well, shooting training has been strengthened recently in the camp. A platoon hired an outstanding young man to strengthen the team and start a small fire. I approved this."
He was ready to take responsibility and was just waiting for criticism from the deputy division commander.
But instead of waiting for Zhang Wenqing's harsh reprimand, he heard Deputy Commander Zhang say a soft "hmm".
Then he asked: "How many times have bullet casings fallen on the ground in the past two or three hours?"
Xie Dong was caught off guard for a moment and was a little confused.
Liang Hu next to him said: "Xie Dong, answer, are you mute?"
Xie Dong could only confess: "I've just arrived, so I don't know. But according to Hou Jun's training style, I'm afraid landing once will not count."
Zhang Wenqing frowned slightly, with a bit more disbelief in his eyes, and asked again: "Is it true that it didn't fall off once?"
He was not questioning Hou Jun, but he felt that the two new recruits next to him could last so long.
"Report to Deputy Commander Zhang."
Fatty Wei shouted a report from the side.
Zhang Wenqing turned around and saw Fatty Wei who had eaten crayfish with him. He smiled and said, "Xiao Wei, do you know that their shells have never fallen?"
"Of course I know. I was lying there at first." He pointed to Hou Jun, Li Zheng and Zhang Jian, and then said with some embarrassment: "But I only lasted for an hour when I couldn't hold it anymore. The shell fell to the ground. It was too big." It’s so uncomfortable, this is not something that humans can withstand…”
Zhang Wenqing smiled. He knew that Fatty Wei's words were somewhat exaggerated.
In fact, one hour of rifle stability training is also common in ordinary combat companies. The training of kneeling and standing rifle shooting exercises is even more cruel. The veterans of the company have to squat and stand for an hour while holding the gun. This kind of stability training is actually Compared with kneeling and standing gun training, the physiological endurance requirements are lower, but it requires more willpower and higher requirements for feel and stability.
From this point of view, Zhang Wenqing admired Hou Jun very much.
He knew Hou Jun.
Hou Jun is a celebrity, the number one sniper in the division, and a truly capable veteran.
For this kind of veteran, no matter how strict the training requirements are, Zhang Wenqing will not scold him.
Especially someone like Hou Jun, who could train, rest, and convince others with his strength made him take a higher look.
"Since we met today, I might as well be the referee."
He called Wu Yi.
"Squad leader, how long have they been at their current location?"
Wu Yi said: "Two hours, forty-two minutes and thirty-three seconds..."
He handed the stopwatch to Zhang Wenqing.
"The time set by the platoon leader is 4 hours. If the cartridge case does not fall out within 4 hours, the platoon leader will treat you to crayfish!"
Zhang Wenqing looked at the jumping numbers on the watch and suddenly announced loudly: "I don't believe there are recruits who can persist for more than 4 hours. At least I haven't seen them. If there are, I'll pay for the crayfish!"
