Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

For soldiers, a gun is their second life, the very foundation upon which they fight and die on the battlefield, an inseparable part of their existence.

Good marksmanship has become the foundation for judging whether a soldier is an excellent warrior.

Therefore, soldiers with good marksmanship are most sought after in infantry companies.

The 702nd Regiment, as an armored infantry regiment under the infantry division of the 84th Group Army, has a unique position, that is, a regiment composed of tanks and infantry.

Every unit under its command has infantry, even its companies.

The Steel Seventh Company is the most elite armored reconnaissance infantry company in the 702nd Armored Infantry Regiment, and the entire company is composed of infantry.

Therefore, sharpshooters were highly sought-after talents in every company of the regiment.

In order to select good soldiers for their companies, several company commanders made a special trip today to come and observe this live-fire exercise.

Company Commander Gao Cheng, driven by selfish motives, was frantic with worry as people came to snatch him away, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, the recruit training company wasn't exclusive to the 7th Company. Gao Cheng was just the company commander in charge of training these recruits, so he couldn't prevent other company commanders from coming.

The other company commanders knew that Gao Cheng was "selfish" and would secretly hide good recruits every year, so they made a special trip here today.

Seeing Gao Cheng so anxious he was practically scratching his head, the other company commanders were secretly delighted.

I almost burst out laughing!

Amidst this atmosphere of "joy and laughter," the other company commanders appeared peaceful and harmonious, all regarding Gao Cheng as a unified "enemy."

However, their eyes betrayed them; they actually regarded each other as competitors.

Even sitting in the line, Jackie Chan still stood a long way off, taking up two body lengths by himself, making him the object of every company commander's secret attention.

They had all heard about Jackie Chan's "glorious deeds" and were basically there because of him.

Jackie Chan was able to become a benchmark in the housekeeping competition, and he decisively defeated the veteran sergeant in the disassembly and reassembly of the rifle. He also excelled in all other subjects.

Now it's time for the most important live-fire exercise, and all the company commanders are looking forward to Jackie Chan's performance.

Let's see if he can create another "miracle"!

The officers of various companies gathered on the small hill, scheming and plotting in the best vantage point to recruit new soldiers.

The new recruits below the stage were also eager to try their best and hoped to achieve a good result.

Cheng Cai, who especially loved to show off, saw so many officers on the hill and realized it was a good opportunity, so he set his sights on 50 rings.

He hoped to achieve his dream of becoming a top sniper through this live-fire target practice.

New recruits only care about the number of hits on the target during their first shooting practice, and don't care about the ring score at all, because their skill level is not high enough. Being able to hit all five shots is already quite an achievement.

Cheng Cai set his sights on 50 rings...

It's hard to say whether he was ignorant and fearless, or whether his overconfidence fueled his boundless ambition.

Xu Sanduo sat on the far left of the line, far away from Cheng Cai (1.8 meters tall) and Cheng Long (1.92 meters tall), with the other seven recruits in the squad in between.

He was very excited that he could finally fire a real gun.

But more than anything, there was tension and panic.

He kept glancing at Jackie Chan, hoping to find solace and courage, but he was too far away to be of any use, so he could only sit there anxiously.

Squad leader Wu Liuyi was also very nervous; he was someone who valued honor highly.

Even at this critical juncture, he still didn't forget to cram at the last minute.

He kept reassuring each new recruit in the fifth platoon, telling them not to be nervous during target practice and to remember what he had taught them during training.

He didn't care how many rings each person could get; he was satisfied as long as the whole class could hit the target.

The first class went up first to practice target shooting.

Ten new recruits lined up to receive five bullets each, then half-squatted on the ground, with the muzzle of their rifles pointing diagonally across their shoulders, and loaded the bullets into the magazines and into their chest slings.

"Advance to the firing line."

After the new recruits completed their pre-target practice, the commander gave a new order, and the first platoon ran into the firing line in single file, with 10 recruits each occupying a firing position.

"Take a step back, then move on."

"Load bullets while prone!"

Following the commander's precise orders, the recruits, based on the movements they had learned daily, stepped back to make room and lay down to take up their rifles in a prone firing position.

Remove the empty magazine from the gun and put it into the ammunition pouch. Take out a five-round magazine from the ammunition pouch and load it onto the Type 81 rifle.

If you extend your line of sight 100 meters ahead, you can see the standing target ring.

This is the prone 100-meter chest target shooting exercise, the only shooting subject during the three-month recruit training phase, and also the most basic shooting practice.

"Are you a pig? Have you forgotten everything you learned?"

Just as all the new recruits were loading their magazines, the commander suddenly rushed over, kicked one of them in the buttocks, and gave him a vicious dressing-down.

The other recruits were so frightened that they all turned to look.

The recruit who had just been kicked in the buttocks had his rifle safety already disengaged, and his hand was already on the bolt handle, clearly ready to load the gun.

"Oh no, I was too nervous."

The recruit was startled, but fortunately, he reacted quickly.

Remembering that it wasn't time to load the gun yet, he quickly let go of the gun, released the safety, and resumed the loading action.

New recruits often get nervous and forget the steps during their first target practice session, but the commander has clearly seen it all before.

Seeing that the recruit had corrected his mistake in time, he didn't press the matter further, but took a few steps back and gave the final instructions before the target practice.

"Begin firing!"

Upon hearing the commander's order, the new recruits quickly engaged the safety, cocked the rifle, and rested their guns on the fore-and-aft rests, aiming at the target in front of them.

When aiming at a target with the crosshair notch aligned with the three points, the bullseye at 100 meters away is smaller than the crosshair.

In addition, the excitement and nervousness of shooting for the first time made my heart beat faster and my breathing more rapid.

Even with sandbags supporting the buttstock, the crosshair still couldn't lock onto the bullseye, instead fluctuating wildly with each breath and heartbeat.

The more the recruits tried to hold the gun still, the more the crosshair would drift.

Ultimately, some new recruits couldn't hold back...

"Snap!"

A shot rang out!

The first recruit firing his gun was like giving an order; whether the other recruits were frightened or simply couldn't hold back any longer, they all pulled their triggers.

"Clap clap clap clap..."

Ten guns fired single shots at the same time, the sound of gunfire like beans being popped in a bamboo tube.

"This is just for show...it's all about making a noise."

Looking at the plumes of dust rising in the distance, Jackie Chan had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

After a lively chatter lasting about ten seconds, all the new recruits in the platoon fell silent, emptied their magazines, and lay there savoring the experience.

"Check the gun!"

The commander continued to issue commands.

Based on what they had learned in training, the new recruits pulled the bolt again and pulled the trigger once more, making sure there were no bullets left in the gun.

The instructor then gave the final command, instructing the recruits to stand up and return.
