From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 73 A Third-Class Merit
The team members worked hard for four months and trained day and night for four months.

Just waiting for this day.

No one wants to be the one eliminated.

Therefore, Gao Cheng ordered that jobs should be promoted through competitions through survival of the fittest.

The eighteen team members had mixed emotions as they faced their brothers who had endured hardships together with them but now they could only treat them as opponents.

I don't want to go through such a cruel thing, whether it's eliminating others or eliminating myself.

At the same time, deep down in my heart, I felt a sense of unwillingness to admit defeat. I had managed to hold on for four months and was just waiting to fight in the group. I didn't want to fail before this last step.

After a period of intense ideological work, everyone finally understood their own hearts.

Three words——

Don't want to lose!
For the honor of the 7th Steel Company and to live up to our own efforts, we have no choice but to try our best and fight without reservation.

This is not only a respect for yourself, but also a respect for your opponent.

Excluding the special training team leader Chen Jun, eight out of the seventeen team members will be eliminated, with an elimination rate of a terrifying 47 percent.

That means half of them are eliminated.

The elimination rate is so frighteningly high. To outsiders, it is just a screening, but it is different for those in the special training team.

This is a life-and-death battle!
Therefore, in order to qualify to join the competition team, a total of seventeen team members gave their all, and no one dared to slack off.

There had been no assessments for four months, and Gao Cheng had no idea how the team members performed.

As a result, when the competitive elimination match began, the improvement that the team members had made in the Hell Furnace for four months really caught Gao Cheng off guard.

His mouth corners almost split from his ears due to smiling!

Gao Cheng knew that the special training results would definitely improve, but he never thought the improvement would be so huge, so huge that he thought he was dreaming.

Not to mention that target shooting is like being possessed by a ghost, eight out of ten people can get full marks.

Whether it was the 500-meter precision shooting with a sniper rifle, Chengcai hit the ten rings with all five shots, getting full rings without any effort.

In the 150-meter precision shooting with rifles, two of the three contestants scored a full score of 100 rings.

Even in the precision shooting of the vehicle-mounted machine gun, with two bursts of ten bullets, some team members performed beyond expectations, achieving an incredible result in which all the first shots hit the bull's eye and the second shots were all within the eight rings.

Even though the shooting distance is only fifty meters, the car is moving at a speed of thirty kilometers per hour, and hitting the target with a single shot requires a lot of skill.

Not to mention that it was two shots in a row, achieving a rare first-shot all-hit record.

The machine gunner who performed so well was none other than Wu Liuyi, the second seed who ranked second in the number of events participated in, only after Chen Jun in the baseline test.

The remaining two team members also performed well.

In the two bursts of shooting, not a single shot missed the target, and the bullet holes were distributed very small, all concentrated within the eight rings, and the number of rings was only a few rings less than Wu Liuyi.

And the three machine gunners performed so well in this event.

This was thanks to Chen Jun who arranged for them to carry out balanced shooting training during the special training period, taking into account the extremely difficult-to-control balance of vehicle-mounted shooting.

In the early stage, you hold the gun on a specially made large swing, in the middle stage, you hold the gun and aim on a shaking large swing, and in the later stage, you shoot live ammunition on a shaking large swing.

No matter how rocking the car is, it is not as rocking as a swing.

If you can shoot steadily on a shaking swing, you will naturally be familiar with it when you get in the car.

The machine gunners all became sharpshooters. Chengcai, who was selected by Gaocheng to practice pistol and sports shooting, and another reserve contestant, all performed impressively in the test.

Almost every shot hit the target, with a starting score of 45 rings. Pistol shooting is difficult when the target is over 25 meters.

Conventional troops use 25-meter precision targets, and at 50 meters they only shoot at the hit target, as long as they can hit the target. It is very difficult to hit the target with five shots.

80 meters exceeds the effective range, which means the range of hitting whatever you point at. It requires a parabola to make a prediction, which is at least several times more difficult than 50 meters.

It is usually only used in large-scale military competitions or competitions among spearhead troops.

The mid-year competition organized by Division T this time requires the contestants to be accurate even at the highest difficulty level of 80 meters.

It's definitely extremely difficult.

I'm afraid I never thought that there would be a full ring. After all, the difficulty is too great. If you can get forty rings, you will have a chance to compete for the first place.

This is why when Chen Jun scored 49 rings during the initial test, Gao Cheng almost dropped his jaw and was confident that he had secured a place in this event.

The results in all the shooting tests were all outstanding. It was really an eye-opener for Gao Cheng. For the first time, he felt that shooting was quite simple.

of course.

This was just Gao Cheng's momentary illusion. In fact, the difficulty has always been there.

After all, the number of full rings that the 7th Steel Company was able to score in the shooting range throughout the entire year combined was not as many as what appeared on the shooting range today.

Almost everyone can get full rings, which is really incredible.

Target shooting was abnormal enough. Gao Cheng was shocked by the full rings one by one. But when it came to the military physical education subjects, Gao Cheng began to think he was dreaming.

Because the results are simply abnormal.

With the unique methods that can improve the training effect by multiples, the special training team members have made leaps and bounds in the past four months.

What is the leap?
That is the kind that breaks the rules and astonishes everyone.

In order to be able to enter the competition team, the members have already reached the peak of their strength at this moment, and their self-confidence is inflated.

When they got to the playground and started running, their eyes turned red and they looked like wolves that had been hungry for a month.

Others try their best, but they work desperately.

Of the four players who qualified for the three-kilometer sprint, the slowest one broke the 10-minute mark.

Chen Jun was a seeded player and did not participate in the elimination.

Even though the 3km sprint is done without any equipment, this speed is already extremely high in the army and has reached the standard of a national third-level athlete.

Last year, among all the competitors in the team's 3km sprint, only one person broke through 10 minutes.

The final result was nine minutes and fifty-eight seconds.

The four players from the 7th Steel Company all surpassed him, with the slowest one having 9 minutes and 54 seconds, and the fastest one, Wu Liuyi, even reaching 9 minutes and 5 seconds.

This result once again broke the group record.

It is only ten seconds slower than the full T division 3km sprint record of minutes and seconds, which is very close.

If Wu Liuyi had another outburst, he might be able to break the record of the entire division.

Then you will definitely get the third-class merit!
As the top seed and team captain, Chen Jun did not participate in the three-kilometer sprint.

But everyone recalled that a few months ago on this playground, Chen Jun had tied with Wu Liuyi by relying on his hard power, and they all believed that Chen Jun's strength was no worse than Wu Liuyi.

Even Chen Jun himself doesn’t know what the actual results are.
