Soldiers Assault: Starting from the 7th Steel Company

Chapter 6 The Final Subject of the Recruit Company
Chen Jiang was not angry. He wanted to understand his body's limits by standing at attention this time.

In my previous life, when I was in the special police team, standing at attention was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. Now that I’m in the recruit company and have a new body, can’t I hold on?

He is also a strong-willed person, so he is determined not to admit defeat!
So he and Shi Jin both rejected Gao Cheng's kindness and ended the day like this.

"Okay, you two have made it, so stand down!"

Gao Cheng left without looking back.

Chen Jiang and Shi Jin looked at each other without saying a word, but Chen Jiang's action looked different in the eyes of other instructors and recruits.

This is definitely a fight with the recruit platoon leader!

Chengcai was the first to rush over and stood to the side, followed by Bai Tiejun and others. Xu Sanduo also stood over with a bitter face. It was not that he felt tired, but his standing posture was really ugly, with a long distance between his legs.

Wu Liuyi had already ridiculed him, saying that he was just like the Japanese with bow legs, which made everyone laugh.

This agonizing competition of standing at attention lasted until the evening. Finally, Gao Cheng got angry and came over personally to give the order to end it.

Shi Jin was relatively okay, as he walked down from the command platform looking slightly tired. However, Chen Jiang's condition was much worse, as his legs were completely out of control. In the end, several veterans helped him to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

Although Gao Cheng cursed and said, "What are they doing with their lives?", he was very happy in his heart. In the army, we are not afraid of you fighting, but we are afraid of you not fighting or competing!

Chen Jiang rested for a night and was fully recovered the next day. It’s great to be young.

Seeing that Chen Jiang was in good shape, Shi Jin praised his enthusiasm for training and pushed the training to the next climax.

"stand at attention!"

"Take a break!"

"Let me explain. Today we're going to practice One Command, One Action. Simply put, I'll shout a command, you'll make a move, and then you'll hold still until I shout the next command! Do you understand?"

Chengcai and the others didn't feel anything, only Chen Jiang knew that the highlight was about to begin.

This is the project that all recruits fear the most!
Sure enough, when Shi Jin started teaching everyone the breakdown of the marching steps, he stopped when he called out "one".

Everyone's left foot was hanging straight in the air, which was an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

Just when everyone was eagerly hoping that Shi Jin would shout the next command, he took out a rope from his pocket, tied it to a stick with a fixed base, and then pulled it back to Xu Sanduo at the end of the line.

"Everyone, listen up! Keep your feet tight and just touch the rope!"

Oh my god, everyone is so sad that they can't even cry. Their feet are so sore that I can't describe it in detail. Even the top recruits like Chen Jiang and Chengcai can't handle it, let alone a bad soldier like Xu Sanduo.

All that could be heard was the "thump, thump" sound of people falling on the training ground. In the end, everyone had become accustomed to this rhythmic, magical sound. Bai Tiejun even joked that without Sanduo's thumping, he couldn't enjoy his meals. Even at night, he could still hear Sanduo's "voice, appearance, and smile" in his ears, and only then could he fall asleep peacefully.

Although Chen Jiang and Chengcai were very strong-willed and were exhausted by the constant order, Shi Jin still insisted on practicing what he asked the recruits to do. He would not only demonstrate what he asked the recruits to do, but also do it in a very standard way.

This made Chen Jiang and others extremely convinced.

Chen Jiang became the deputy squad leader of this recruit class because of his outstanding performance.
Of course, this position is only limited to the recruit company stage.

In such a rigorous training atmosphere, the training results of this recruit class improved rapidly. Needless to say, Chen Jiangchengcai and others did a great job. Even Xu Sanduo finally mastered the basic skills with the "help" of Wu Liuyi's hands and feet.

Although the movements are still not standard, at least the basic prototype of a warrior is formed.

The daily training is very hard, but Chen Jiang still insists on training himself. He knows very well that he is too thin. In the future, facing the armed cross-country and armed swimming that will be carried out from time to time, he will not be able to persist with such a thin body.

So he always forced himself to eat more, and then went to the training ground to run laps and do push-ups at night. Chengcai saw Chen Jiang working so hard, and he didn't want to fall behind, so he always followed him.

Gao Cheng really likes these two soldiers, even though Wu Liuyi always tells himself that Chengcai is a fake and everything he does is what they want to see.

Gao Cheng retorted unconvincedly, "Fake it once, that's cheating, but fake it for several years, that's awesome! A soldier like that, the Seventh Steel Company can forge him into true gold!"

The three-month recruit company life will soon be over. In the last few days, the training will no longer be about the frustrating orders and movements, but will begin to explain the basic principles and structure of firearms.

Everyone understood a little bit, and it was finally time to touch the gun.

When Chen Jiang and his team were brought to the shooting range, everyone's attention was attracted by the shiny steel guns placed on the shooting positions.

This is the real thing!

"Today, we're doing a prone live-fire shooting exercise, a 100-meter chest ring target, five rounds per person!"

Gao Cheng knew these guys were very excited, and added triumphantly, "The Type 81 automatic rifle is the lifeblood of our 702nd Regiment's armored infantry, but it's not all there is to it. In the future, you'll also be exposed to infantry fighting vehicles and even light tanks. As long as you work hard, I promise that there will be more and more good stuff!"

After a round of encouragement, Shi Jin stepped forward to explain the shooting techniques and precautions during the shooting process.

"The Type 81 automatic rifle is 955mm long, with a 440mm barrel, placing it somewhere between a rifle and a submachine gun. It weighs 3.5kg and uses a 7.62mm round with a muzzle velocity of 715m/s and a rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute, providing a lethal force at an effective range of 600m."

Shi Jin is familiar with the performance parameters of this standard rifle of the Chinese Army.

"Before we shoot, we need to lie prone on the ground, with the torso generally at an angle of 10 to 20 degrees to the direction of the shot. Stretch your legs outwards and open them, with your feet in an outward-facing position close to the ground. Extend your left elbow forward so that its left rear side touches the ground. The angle between the horizontal plane of the ground and the axis of your forearm should not be less than 30 degrees. Hold the gun with your right hand, with the bottom of the gunstock resting on your right shoulder socket. Hold the gun handle tightly with the palm of your right hand facing forward, with the first joint of your index finger resting on the trigger, and push your right elbow forward as much as possible."

"Hold the gun, align the small notch in the middle of the gun, the front sight, and the target, then gently pull the trigger. Be careful not to shake during this process, and even hold your breath. At a distance of 100 meters, even a slight change in your breathing could cause your bullet to miss the bull's eye or even the target."
