From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 78 The leader is angry!
A non-commissioned officer came up carrying a large box. Chen Jun, Chengcai and other 30 contestants each drew a number and the competition was arranged according to the number.

Chengcai drew number 17 in the middle, and Chen Jun drew number 30 at the end.

Chengcai smokes very well, while Chen Jun’s is rather stinky.

Those who are at the front or the back of the competition will have to bear extra psychological pressure. Only those in the middle will be relatively relaxed.

The pistol competition is conducted in groups of five. The second group receives ammunition and waits in the waiting area, while the remaining people are in the preparation area.

The five contestants who drew numbers one and five went to the shooting positions first with five rounds of ammunition, while those who drew numbers six and ten stayed in the waiting area.

At this moment, the viewing area was already packed with people, and Minister Wang and others were already in place on the rostrum.

"Firing a 50-meter pistol shot is difficult. Soldiers usually practice at 25 meters. This time the division has set it at 80 meters. It will probably be a big challenge for the contestants."

The political commissar sat in a chair, looking into the distance, chatting with the regiment commander next to him with a smile.

"Forget about the 80 meters, but also the precision shooting, which is indeed quite difficult. I'm afraid that some contestants won't be able to hit the target." The chief of staff also said.

"It has to be difficult. Without it, everyone can get full marks. What's the point? We are not here to watch an exhibition match. Difficulty can train the soldiers and improve their training results, right?"

Captain Wang had a completely different opinion. He was quite satisfied with the distance of 80 meters.

He himself likes a challenge.

I also hope that the soldiers under my command can withstand the challenge.

"Captain, training is training, but there's no need to exceed it too much. The pistol shooting range is only 80 meters, and no one got full marks in the last session. Now it's raised to meters. I feel it's difficult to even hit the target, let alone get a good score." The chief of staff expressed his opinion again.

"Old Li, you don't have to be so negative. The game hasn't started yet. You have to believe in our soldiers." Captain Wang said optimistically.

The group leaders on the rostrum expressed their opinions with a smile.

The five players on the field have already started shooting.

The pistol used in this target shooting is the Type 54, commonly known as the "Big Black Star". It has been in service for more than years, but it is still as powerful as ever.

The empty weight of the Type 54 pistol is about 850 grams, and its combat weight is about 1 kilogram.

Relatively speaking.

It’s still quite heavy.

Because it uses 7.62x25mm pistol bullets, the chamber pressure of the bullet is very high, the muzzle velocity is about 430 meters, the range is longer than the 9mm caliber, and the lethality is also higher.

It can penetrate 25 mm thick steel plates at a distance of 3 meters. When firing steel core bullets, it can also kill targets wearing soft bulletproof vests.

The effective range is 50 meters, and the trajectory is still relatively stable beyond 100 meters.

Even at a distance of 600 meters, as long as the bullet can touch the target, the remaining kinetic energy can still cause effective damage to personnel.

However, it is precisely because of its excessive power that the barrel life of the Type 54 pistol is much lower than that of ordinary pistols.

Only about 3000 rounds.

The distance of 80 meters is well within the shooting range. In addition, the competition adopts kneeling shooting, which ensures a certain stability. It is not absolutely impossible to hit full rings.

But the possibility is very low and the technical requirements are extremely high.

However, every shooting athlete participating in the competition aims to score full rings.

The first group of five contestants, after a period of adjustment and aiming, started shooting at the target 80 meters away.

"Clap clap clap..."

The sound of a single shot from a pistol is relatively crisp.

The five players knew that the difficulty was high, so they were very cautious when they played. They had to be fully prepared for each shot and had full confidence before they fired the next one. This resulted in all the players taking nearly two minutes to finish the five shots.

After all the contestants have finished shooting, they stand up to check their guns, pull the holster with the muzzle facing up and pull the trigger, turn off the safety, put the gun back into the holster, and take it back to the preparation area to rest.

The target inspector in the target pit ran out and began to call out the targets one by one.

"Target number one, four shots, 32 rings..."

The first result reported by the target inspector was transmitted throughout the competition field through the loudspeaker. One shot actually missed the target, but it did not cause much noise.

Everyone seemed to have prepared themselves mentally that the 80-meter pistol results would be extremely tragic.

After all, those who can come to the competition are all veterans, and they all know the effective range and maximum range of weapons, and how terrifying the difference in hit rate is.

Even though a pistol only extends the range by thirty meters, the difficulty it brings exceeds that of a rifle extending the range by two hundred meters.

From the chief of staff, political commissar and other leaders to the vast majority of contestants in the competition, they all believe that a contestant who can fire five shots has the strength to compete for first place in an event, and four shots is completely within the normal range.

As long as you don't hit three shots or two shots on target, your score can't be considered bad at all.

Looking at the hundreds of people in the competition area, there were only contestants like Gao Cheng and Wu Liuyi, who smiled more happily the more they listened to the singing results.

Because among the remaining four players in the first group, none of them hit five shots.

If the players from other companies were like this, then Chen Jun, who scored 49 rings in the seventh company, and Chengcai, who scored 47 in the test, would definitely take the first and second places.

How could the people in the Seventh Company not be grinning from ear to ear since they had already secured victory with the pistol?

but.

While they were laughing in their hearts, Gao Cheng, Wu Liuyi and the others were also worried: "Is it difficult to shoot at this shooting range? That's why the first group's results were so bad. If that's the case, the outcome will be hard to predict."

With such a nervous and excited mood, the people from the Seventh Company could only continue watching patiently.

The second group...

The third group...

Two groups went up to shoot at the target. Only one person out of ten people shot five shots, but he didn't even get 40 rings, only a pitiful 39 rings.

The remaining nine people were similar to the first group, all with less than four shots, and even two with three shots.

Seeing that three groups in a row performed so badly, the chief of staff, who had already thought the difficulty was a bit high, suddenly felt that his judgment was correct and began his various comments.

The political commissar was indeed not satisfied with the result, but he also knew that it was indeed difficult, so he did not say anything.

Only Captain Wang frowned.

Captain Wang is a man who refuses to admit defeat and has a stubborn temper. In the original plot, he was a tough character who dared to ignore the commander's face.

He knew that 80 meters with a pistol was difficult, but he wanted his soldiers to perform well.

Only in this way can we go to the division and win honor for the regiment.

But judging from the results of these three groups, if the first place is just like this, even if he can go to the division, Captain Wang will feel ashamed.

Think of this.

Captain Wang felt a surge of anger in his heart, and his face became increasingly darker.

In this kind of gloomy and depressing atmosphere, as if covered by a thick layer of dark clouds, Chengcai, who was drawn number 17, took the stage in the fourth group.
