The hospital is too busy, so I'm going to join the army and become a top soldier!

"Besides stationary targets, did you also shoot at moving targets?"

Gao Zhenhai stared at Shen Yan and asked incredulously.

Shen Yan nodded.

"I hit him."

"A 100-meter horizontal moving target, ten bullets, one hundred rings."

The dormitory fell silent instantly.

Wei Shanjia was waiting for Shen Yan to continue, but when he heard the words "one hundred rings", he blinked twice involuntarily.

"How many?"

Gao Zhenhai doubted that he had misheard.

"Ten shots, one hundred rings."

Shen Yan repeated it again.

"Full ring?"

"right."

"First time shooting at a moving target?"

"right."

Gao Zhenhai looked at Shen Yan and remained silent for a long time.

A score of 149 out of 15 shots on a fixed target is already outrageous enough.

That could at least be explained by Shen Yan's steady grip on the gun, good mindset, and excellent eyesight and firing technique.

Therefore, he achieved a near-perfect score in his first live-fire exercise.

Movable targets are different.

Even veterans who have fired many bullets may miss the target repeatedly when they first switch to a moving target because they cannot find the correct lead.

Shen Yan is doing well.

The first time I handled a real gun, the first time I shot at a moving target, I got a perfect score with ten bullets.

This is more than just a matter of improved gun feel.

It's like God is chasing after him, stuffing food into his mouth, and even pouring him a glass of water to help him choke!

This is hardly a training exercise for a elite unit.

This is clearly a talent bomb planted in the elite unit!

I reckon the squad leaders in the elite platoon are already arguing fiercely about which squad Shen Yan should be assigned to.

Liang Zheng, standing beside him, silently lowered his head and looked at the training records in his hand.

He was just about to lecture Shen Yan, saying that shooting is not as simple as aiming and pulling the trigger.

Before he could even say those words, Shen Yan first reported a score of 149 on a fixed target.

Now it's even worse.

The moving target went straight for a perfect score!

Liang Zheng recalled his score when he first practiced shooting at a moving target at military school, and suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion.

He studied shooting theory for a long time beforehand and practiced shooting stance and firing techniques before hitting the target.

The final result was quite good compared to other students in the same period.

Compared to Shen Yan, sigh, I am nothing!

When someone first handles a gun, they first aim for a near-perfect score on a stationary target, then aim for a perfect score on a moving target.

Liang Zheng now finally understood why the new recruits in Class Two kept calling Shen Yan a "cheater".

This is not because they have poor psychological resilience.

It's a normal person's psychological capacity to bear things; they shouldn't be forced to endure this kind of thing in the first place!

He's been in the second class for a month, and it's hard to say whether his military skills have improved significantly yet, but at least he's developed a good habit.

Shen Yan spoke a little later.

It's best to wait until the kid has submitted all his grades before deciding whether or not to discipline him.

Otherwise, that slap on the face would really hurt!

Just as Gao Zhenhai and Liang Zheng were both questioning their lives, Wei Shanjia seemed to suddenly breathe a sigh of relief.

"So it seems that moving targets aren't that difficult after all."

Gao Zhenhai slowly turned his head.

Liang Zheng also raised his eyes and looked at Wei Shanjia with the gaze one would give a warrior.

Wei Shanjia was unaware of the danger; on the contrary, the more he listened, the more reasonable it seemed.

"Think about it, this is the first time Shen Yan has ever handled a real gun."

"He got a perfect score on his first try. When we do live-fire shooting, even if you're a little worse than him, getting 80 or 90 shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Shen Yan thought about it seriously and actually nodded.

"I don't think it's too difficult."

"The main thing about moving targets is judging the speed and lead of movement. When you're shooting, I can share the experience I've gained today with you."

Wei Shanjia's eyes lit up immediately.

"I knew it!"

"I admit you're a bit of a freak when it comes to running, weightlifting, and grenade throwing, but shooting mainly depends on your eyesight and feel."

"When we get to the actual target practice, I won't say I'll catch up to you, but I certainly won't fall too far behind!"

Gao Zhenhai did not refute, but simply nodded meaningfully.

"OK."

"I've got it."

"You'd better still be this confident when we start practicing live-fire exercises."

Wei Shanjia patted his chest.

"Squad leader, don't worry!"

"It's just a moving target. If Shen Yan can hit it, I can definitely hit it too!"

Liang Zheng silently moved the stool a little to the side.

The young man is very courageous.

It remains to be seen whether he can maintain this optimism after the first live-fire exercise.

Surprisingly, Gawa didn't deliver the finishing blow this time.

He looked down at his hands, seemingly deep in thought.

After a few seconds, he looked up and asked:

"Friend, what you mean by 'lead time' is that when the target is running, you can't aim at where it is right now, you have to wait a little ahead of it, right?"

Shen Yan glanced at him with some surprise.

"almost."

"Based on the target's moving speed and distance, we need to determine its next location."

From the moment you pull the trigger to the bullet hitting the target, although the time is short, it still takes time.

Ga Wa nodded thoughtfully.

He seems to understand this principle.

When I was a child herding sheep, if the lead sheep strayed off course, the rest of the flock would run off in a chaotic manner.

When he throws stones at the lead sheep, he rarely aims at the sheep's current position. Instead, he throws a stone a little ahead of it, depending on the direction the sheep is running.

Otherwise, the sheep would have run away long ago if the stone had flown over.

Later, when they encountered wolves circling the sheep in the mountains, it was the same.

You need to observe how it runs, which way it turns, and what position it plans to pounce on next.

Stones and bullets are definitely not the same thing.

The movement routes can be determined, and they seem to be somewhat similar.

Gao Zhenhai noticed Ga Wa's expression and a thought flickered in his mind.

There is no doubt about Shen Yan's shooting talent.

Ga Wa grew up herding livestock in the mountains. He has excellent eyesight, keen hearing, and a strong sense of direction. He can throw stones at moving targets with astonishing accuracy.

This kid might surprise them when he does live-fire exercises in the future.

Wei Shanjia glanced at Shen Yan, then at Ga Wa, and suddenly became alert.

"Wait, you don't know how to shoot a gun, do you?"

Ga Wa shook his head.

"I've never handled a gun before."

Wei Shanjia was somewhat relieved.

"That's good."

"This is our first time, so let's not pretend to be veterans. We'll compete together the three of us during the actual target practice!"

The little boy smiled憨厚ly.

"Okay."

"But if you lose, don't say the gun is shy or doesn't listen to you."

Wei Shanjia's face darkened.

"We haven't even started, how do you know I'll lose?"

"I don't know."

The little boy answered earnestly:

"But every time you compete with Shen Yan, you're very confident before you get completely crushed."

Liang Zheng's lips twitched.

These words not only pierced Wei Shanjia's heart, but also his!

Gao Zhenhai, too tired to listen to their bickering any longer, raised his hand and tapped the bed frame.

"Alright, everyone get ready to rest!"

"They haven't even touched a gun yet, and they already consider themselves sharpshooters?"

A burst of laughter immediately filled the dormitory.

Wei Shanjia wanted to argue a bit more, but suddenly a blinding white light shone through the window.

The next second, a thunderclap rolled across the camp.

Boom!

The loud thunder made the windows tremble slightly.

Immediately afterwards, large raindrops pounded on the glass and roof, making a loud pattering sound.

Everyone instinctively looked out the window.

Xinjiang is usually dry with little rain, so such heavy rain is not common.

At first, the road outside the barracks was still visible, but after a few minutes, the dense rain turned into a white blur under the searchlights.

The wind whipped up a curtain of rain that lashed against the windows, and bolts of lightning streaked across the night sky.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening rumble of thunder resounded.

Heavy rain is pouring down in the Xinjiang region!

Wei Shanjia walked to the window and glanced out.

"Good heavens, if this rain keeps going, the playground will turn into a fishpond tomorrow!"

"How am I supposed to train my physical fitness tomorrow?"

Gawa's expression, however, was not so relaxed.

He grew up in the mountains of Xinjiang and knew what this kind of weather meant.

This is just the camp area; the drainage and roads are well-maintained.

However, mountain gullies, river valleys, and some low-lying villages and towns are prone to accidents when they encounter such short-term heavy rainfall.

He stared outside for a while and said in a low voice:

"This rain is too heavy."

"If it rained like this in the mountains, it wouldn't be good."

The other recruits breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the torrential rain; they could finally have an extra day of rest tomorrow!

Gao Zhenhai glanced at Ga Wa, then looked out the window.

However, he didn't say much, only urging everyone to wash up and rest as soon as possible.

After a full day of training, Class Two quickly quieted down.

Wei Shanjia lay in bed, still thinking about target practice.

He had even thought it through in advance.

This was Shen Yan's first time hitting a perfect score on a moving target, so he couldn't set his expectations too high; he just wanted to get a 90 for now.

If I'm in good form, I might even be able to aim for 95 rings.

As for Ga Wa, a stone archer who honed his skills while herding sheep, he is indeed not to be underestimated.

As he was thinking about it, he dreamed that he was standing on the shooting range, hitting ten bullseyes out of ten bullets, and the entire recruit company was applauding him.

After Gawa closed his eyes, images of black goats kept running through his mind.

It kept veering left and right, with a wolf in the middle.

Before he fell asleep, he was still calculating in his mind how much he should look ahead.

Liang Zheng had already given up on thinking about his shooting results, but he still couldn't escape them in his dreams.

Shen Yan followed behind him, holding a sheet of paper with a perfect score on it, and asked earnestly:

"Liang Pai, this really isn't difficult, how come you didn't get a perfect score?"

In his dream, Liang Zheng ran faster than a Jeep.

Before going to bed, Shen Yan briefly reviewed the shooting process from the day.

From taking up the gun, aiming, breathing to the lead time for the moving target, he went through every step in his mind again.

The rain outside the window is getting heavier.

No one knew that this torrential rain would completely disrupt the recruits' training schedule.

……

Late at night.

A sharp, urgent whistle suddenly pierced through the rain!

"Emergency assembly!"

"Everyone, assemble immediately!"

Shouts followed immediately down the corridor.

Everyone in Class Two's dormitory opened their eyes instantly!

Shen Yan opened his eyes and, almost without hesitation, rolled over and got out of bed to start getting dressed.

Wei Shanjia suddenly sat up in bed, his eyes not even fully open, and shouted:

"Don't worry, I'll try again, it'll definitely be a perfect score again!"

No one in the dormitory paid any attention to him.

Ga Wa was jolted awake by the thunder and whistles at the same time. He reacted quickly, getting out of bed and starting to get dressed.

Liang Zheng had already rushed to the middle of the dormitory.

"Don't panic!"

"Dress in the order we usually teach you. Put on your clothes first, then tidy up your gear!"

Gao Zhenhai also sat up from the bed, a clear look of confusion on his face.

He didn't recall Chen Gang mentioning beforehand that there would be a nighttime emergency assembly training session that evening.

Looking out the window at the torrential rain that seemed to form an almost continuous wall, Gao Zhenhai subconsciously assumed that the company was preparing to organize extra training in the rain.

Although it was unclear why even the squad leader hadn't received the message beforehand, the emergency assembly whistle had already sounded, and there was no time to hesitate.

"Wake up, everyone!"

Gao Zhenhai jumped out of bed and yanked off the blanket from the still bewildered recruit.

"Emergency assembly!"

"Put your shoes on properly, tighten your belt, and anyone who dares to trip and fall into the ditch while running downstairs will have to practice frog jumps in the rain tonight!"

Class Two acted swiftly.

Shen Yan was the first to finish dressing and then turned around to help the new recruit next to her check her gear.

Wei Shanjia finally woke up from his dream and hurriedly dressed. Fortunately, he had good coordination and his movements were not too slow.

A few minutes later, the entire Class Two rushed out of the dormitory building.

The cold rain pelted down in my face.

Even with a hat on, rainwater still kept seeping in through the brim, neck, and collar.

A layer of water quickly accumulated in the open space in front of the building, and the new recruits stepped in, causing water to splash up one after another.

The class monitors went back and forth to count the number of students.

Gao Zhenhai looked around, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

The entire recruit company has come out.

However, there were no night training sessions set up on the training ground, and no equipment was visible that had been prepared in advance.

This doesn't look like extra training.

Not long after, Chen Gang and instructor Yang Wenjun walked briskly over in the rain.

Both of them were wearing raincoats, but their faces were frighteningly serious.

When Gao Zhenhai saw their expressions, his heart sank.

problem occurs!

Yang Wenjun stood at the front of the line, wiped the rain off his face, and said nothing.

"Everyone has it!"

"stand at attention!"

Wow!

The team quickly stood at attention.

Yang Wenjun's voice cut through the torrential rain and reached the ears of every new recruit clearly.

"Due to the sudden and torrential rain tonight, flash floods and mudslides have occurred in the nearby mountainous areas, causing damage to many villages and towns!"

"Some roads and communications have been disrupted, and a large number of people are currently trapped. The exact number of casualties is still being tallied!"

The line in front of the building fell silent instantly, with only the sound of rain remaining.

The recruits, who had just been mistaken for new recruits undergoing nighttime training, had completely lost their sleepiness.

"The first batch of rescue forces from the regiment headquarters has set off!"

"Engineering, motor transport, communications, and medical units are urgently assembling!"

"The recruit company will temporarily serve as a rotation and support force, with all personnel on standby for disaster relief, ready to depart at any time!"

Yang Wenjun's gaze swept across everyone's faces, his tone becoming even sterner.

"Once we arrive in the disaster area, everyone must obey orders and follow commands. No one is allowed to act on their own, and no one is allowed to act as a hero!"

"You're there to rescue people, not to cause trouble for the rescue teams!"

"Now, each class, take it back!"

"Immediately pack your personal equipment and disaster relief supplies, stand by, and prepare to depart!"

"yes!"

A reply rang out amidst the torrential rain.

Gao Zhenhai quickly turned around.

"Class Two, turn right!"

"Run!"

Everyone rushed back to the dormitory.

This time, no one was joking.

Wei Shanjia quickly tidied his clothes and repeatedly checked his shoelaces and backpack buckles.

Ga Wa wrapped the items that were afraid of water in plastic sheeting and then helped his slow-moving comrade next to him to tighten his backpack.

As Shen Yan tidied up, he quickly considered the possible situations that might occur in the disaster area.

Flash floods, mudslides, and collapsed houses.

The most common injuries at the scene are not just ordinary external injuries.

Fractures, crush injuries, hypothermia, drowning, infection, and even crush syndrome that can occur after prolonged burial.

If the number of wounded is too large, triage must be carried out first.

Limited medical resources should be prioritized for those who need treatment most and who still have a chance of survival.

This is completely different from rescue efforts on the training field.

When an injured person appears on the training field, everyone rushes to help that person.

However, dozens or even hundreds of injured people may appear in the disaster area at the same time.

Every judgment is a matter of life and death.

Just as Shen Yan was tightening the backpack straps, Gao Zhenhai's phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone, glanced at it, and immediately walked to the side to answer the call.

"Feed?"

After something was said on the phone, Gao Zhenhai's expression quickly turned serious.

"yes!"

"clear!"

"He's in Class Two!"

"I'm handing the phone to him now!"

Gao Zhenhai turned around, walked up to Shen Yan, and handed her his phone.

"Company Commander Zheng from the Medical Company is looking for you."

Shen Yan answered the phone.

"Company Commander Zheng, this is Shen Yan."

On the other end of the phone, Zheng Guoliang's voice was urgent and serious, and the sounds of people running and carrying supplies could be heard in the background.

"Shen Yan, the medical unit has received orders to be among the first medical rescue teams to rush to the disaster area."

"The situation at the scene is unclear, and the number of injured cannot be determined at this time."

You have a medical background and have participated in first aid, bone setting, and casualty transport. Your on-site handling skills are better than many ordinary medical workers.

"I have applied to my superiors to temporarily transfer you to the front line of the disaster area with the medical team."

Zheng Guoliang paused for a moment, his tone becoming even more solemn.

"But you need to think this through."

"The torrential rain has not stopped, and there may still be dangerous situations on roads and mountains in the disaster area."

You're just a new recruit; you can refuse this temporary secondment. You won't be punished for it.

"I agree!"

Before Zheng Guoliang could finish speaking, Shen Yan had already given his answer.

He then asked:

"Company Commander Zheng, is there anything else I need to prepare?"

There was a half-second silence on the other end of the phone.

Zheng Guoliang's voice held an uncontainable sense of satisfaction.

"Good lad!"

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

"Medical equipment, disaster relief supplies, and rain gear have all been prepared by the medical unit."

"You don't need to bring anything, come to the medical unit immediately!"

"We'll be leaving in ten minutes!"

"yes!"

Shen Yan hung up the phone and returned it to Gao Zhenhai.

"Squad leader, the medical company has requested that I be temporarily seconded to the first batch of medical rescue teams to enter the disaster area."

"We're leaving in ten minutes, I have to get there now."

Gao Zhenhai looked at Shen Yan with a complicated expression.

I felt both proud and worried.

Shen Yan was a new recruit under his command who was selected by the medical company to be seconded to the front-line disaster area.

This shows that over a month of training and numerous rescues have earned his medical skills the recognition of the team.

But that was the scene of a mudslide and flash flood.

Even a slight misjudgment could result in the rescuer being buried alive.

Gao Zhenhai did not stop him, but stepped forward and checked Shen Yan's collar and belt.

"Once you arrive in the disaster area, obey the orders of the medical company!"

"You went there to save lives, not to show off. Landslides, floods, and collapses don't care how many times you've performed meritorious service!"

"Remember, ensure your own safety first, then you can save more people."

"Do you understand?"

Shen Yan stood at attention.

"clear!"

Go!

Shen Yan turned and rushed out of the dormitory.

The moment the door opened, a fierce storm rushed in.

His figure quickly disappeared into the dark rain.

Wei Shanjia was pressing down his backpack when he saw this scene and looked up in confusion.

"Where did Shen Yan go?"

"Aren't we all on standby?"

Ga Wa has good hearing; she has already overheard most of the phone conversation.

He patted Wei Shanjia on the shoulder, his eyes filled with obvious envy.

"Friend, is Shen Yan going to make a name for himself again?"

Wei Shanjia paused in his movements.

The next second, Gao Zhenhai's voice turned cold.

"What merit did you perform?"

"He went to the disaster area to save lives!"

Ga Wa shrank his neck, but didn't shut up immediately as usual.

He gazed at the rain outside the door and whispered:

"I know."

"I envy them because they can save people."

The dormitory fell silent for a brief moment.

Wei Shanjia glanced at the torrential rain outside, then looked down at his backpack.

This time, he didn't say anything.

……

Shen Yan braved the torrential rain and rushed all the way to the medical unit.

The medical platoon, which usually has its lights off, is now brightly lit.

Several military green vehicles with medical markings were parked in front of the building, their engines already running.

The medics ran back and forth in the rain, loading stretchers, medicines, first aid kits, oxygen equipment, and a large amount of disaster relief supplies onto the vehicles.

All supplies were tightly wrapped in tarpaulins.

The medics, who usually joked around with Shen Yan, were all serious at this moment, their movements so fast they barely stopped.

"Report!"

"Shen Yan, Second Platoon, New Recruit Company, reporting for duty!"

Zheng Guoliang was checking the personnel list next to the first vehicle when he heard the sound and immediately turned around.

Seeing that Shen Yan arrived on time, he stepped forward and patted Shen Yan's shoulder heavily. Without saying any more words, he pointed directly to the carriage.

"Get on the bus!"

"Sit next to Ma Jianjun!"

"Have him explain the division of labor on the way!"

"yes!"

Shen Yan climbed onto the train carriage using the stairs.

The car was filled with almost all familiar faces.

Ma Jianjun, Azgul, and the medics who had previously learned first aid, massage, and patient transport from him were all dressed in their protective gear.

When everyone saw Shen Yan, they were only briefly surprised.

Ma Jianjun quickly moved aside to make room for him and handed him a set of rain gear.

"Put them on."

"Once we arrive at the scene, you will work with our group."

Shen Yan took the rain gear and quickly put it on.

Ma Jianjun's expression was much more serious than usual.

"The disaster area is not a training ground; the situation on the ground can change at any time."

"No one is allowed to leave the rescue area without orders."

When encountering injured persons, it is essential to first assess the safety of the scene before triaging and determining the order of treatment and transport.

"Don't rush in just because you see someone injured."

"If a rescue worker gets into trouble, not only will they be unable to save you, but other people will have to come out to save you, understand?"

Shen Yan nodded earnestly.

"clear."

Outside the vehicle, the sounds of personnel reporting numbers and supplies being checked could be heard continuously.

"The first group is all here!"

"The second group is all here!"

"Medications inventories complete!"

"Stretchers and oxygen equipment are all loaded onto the truck!"

Zheng Guoliang checked the personnel list one last time and looked up at the time.

"Set off!"
