Girls und War

This made the recruits even more enthusiastic about shooting.

Then the Master Chief brought out some fun new stuff during a shooting training session.

"This is a grenade launcher." The sergeant raised the individual grenade launcher in his hand so that everyone could see it more clearly.

The grenade launcher in her hand used a revolver-type magazine-changing mechanism, which had the advantages of high mobility and a stable firing rate.

A grenade launcher has six bombs, which can be loaded with explosive, armor-piercing, smoke, illumination, signal and other projectiles.

There is also a rapid-fire machine gun muzzle above the howitzer muzzle, and submachine gun ammunition can be loaded at the rear for strafing.

"Grenadiers are usually equipped with this kind of weapon. I will demonstrate its power to you next." The sergeant said, opening the grenade launcher and starting to load the bullets.

Xia Shu thought to herself, it seems the grenadiers in this world are slightly different from those in her own. They should be able to combine fire suppression and demolition assaults.

The Master Chief loaded the grenade and released the safety.

Then he shot a parabola at a target four hundred meters away.

"Boom——"

A loud explosion echoed across the shooting range, and the target turned into ashes after a violent flash.

"Wow--" the girls screamed.

The round just fired was likely a fragmentation round, using the fragments of the explosion to injure the enemy. A typical grenade launcher's range is limited beyond a hundred meters, so the Master Chief's ability to accurately hit the target from such a distance demonstrates his exceptional military proficiency.

She handed the launcher to the squad leader and said to the new recruits, "This weapon is extremely threatening on the battlefield. Whether used by the enemy or our side, we must be cautious. However, you new recruits will not be handling this weapon for the time being. Now I will demonstrate a weapon of similar power that you will encounter."

The Master Chief grabbed a projectile belt and removed a grenade from it.

"Do you know him?" the Master Chief asked the girls.

"I know him—" the girls replied in a drawn-out voice.

Everyone laughed.

Hand grenades, one of the most classic and best-used lethal weapons on the military battlefield, appeared even earlier than guns.

The usage and tactical value haven't changed much either. They're all manually thrown to create a shrapnel explosion area to kill enemies.

"There are many different types of grenades, so I won't go into detail here. What I'm showing you now is a fragmentation grenade. It's about the same power as the grenade just now."

The Master Chief said, turning back to the range.

The squad leader ordered the recruits to move slightly back.

"What are you afraid of? I won't throw it at your feet." The sergeant suddenly turned around and said.

Everyone laughed.

The sergeant clenched the grip, pulled out the safety ring, and then threw it towards the shooting range.

It was thrown about fifty or sixty meters away.

About four or five seconds later, there was a loud noise in the field.

The smoke and dust produced by the explosion was not violent, only a small amount.

Because the killing power is all in the invisible fragments.

The girls exclaimed again.

"Alright." The sergeant tossed the safety ring back and looked back at the recruits. "Later, you'll be training in throwing grenades. Once everyone can throw over 30 meters, you can practice with live ammunition."

As the new recruits spoke, they became excited.

Then, the last subject for the recruits to learn, throwing grenades, officially began.

That’s right, these are the only main subjects that recruits need to learn.

Formation training, physical training, combat training, tactical training, shooting training, and throwing training.

Other more complex battlefield training - such as obstacle courses, cross-country raids, camping in the wild, basic engineering work, trap construction and dismantling, etc., will only be gradually exposed to them after they become privates.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that their training is over now.

After completing the most basic training outline, the second round of detailed training began.

These girls have finally mastered some military skills, but they are still a long way from becoming qualified soldiers.

The most basic physical fitness is not good enough, many military movements are not standardized enough, and the sense of discipline is not strong enough.

They had to start all over again and begin their drill training from the very beginning.

The training standards for the second round of training are also much stricter than the first round.

The squad leaders' attitudes haven't changed much, but the assessment standards and duration of training have obviously increased a lot.

For example, during military posture training, the rest period was changed from ten minutes at the beginning to thirty minutes at a time.

The girls' physical fitness can also accept this training intensity.

After all, they are not the weak girls at the beginning who would cry for their parents after running 200 meters.

The new training commanders are also excellent in controlling the intensity of training, and all of this is done subtly and step by step.

The training difficulty was not suddenly increased, nor did the girls develop a training aversion mentality of "I can't do this kind of thing at all".

Incentive measures and guiding measures have never stopped.

But the busiest person during this period is still Lieutenant Hua.

The increase in training difficulty will inevitably cause some recruits to feel frustrated.

There are always some girls who think that being a soldier is too hard and want to quit.

All she could do was provide psychological guidance and counseling.

In addition, the course instructor who has been doing nothing, Sergeant Viper, finally appears.

The study of military discipline and written instruction in military common sense are being carried out in an orderly manner.

New recruits will face some written tests.

For example, when encountering the platoon leader in the morning, what should a soldier do?

A: Say good morning loudly, B: Salute, C: Push the platoon leader to the corner, lift her chin with your hand, and say "You look so beautiful today."

It has to be said that the recruits are much more efficient in learning this knowledge than in military training.

After all, for them, the brain is much more useful than the body.

44. Garden

Al was a little nervous.

This place doesn't look like a barracks at all.

There are all kinds of flowers and vines planted everywhere, and the scenery is full of green, with no end in sight.

This is the garden behind the logistics class, with many benches and umbrellas.

However, the recruits never rest here because it is a real garden with insects.

Furthermore, the squad leaders never approached this place and would stay far away from it during training, as if they were afraid of someone inside.

Perhaps the logistics squad leader has a dark side that other squad leaders are very afraid of?

This is very possible because the recruits were once warned not to look at the instructor, Viper, who looks gentle and polite with glasses, because she is actually a very scary person.

It's better to mess with the Master Chief than with Sergeant Viper.

"Hey, idiot, let's go back." Ai'er shouted to Sheng.

Sheng turned around, looked at her with contempt, and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Isn't it just an exploration of the forbidden land?"

"First of all, this is not a forbidden area. Secondly, I have a bad feeling."

"Coward, lelelele——" Sheng stuck out his tongue and ran quickly towards the garden.

You idiot, isn't this ominous premonition coming from you?

Ai'er cursed inwardly and followed cautiously.

The flowers here look very healthy and vibrant, with vibrant colors, and must have been well cared for.

I don't know who is taking care of this garden. Maybe it's the logistics team leader, because she looks quite idle. Or it could be someone else, but Ai'er can't think of who it is.

The answer to this question was revealed in the next moment.

She walked through a shady corridor and saw a small lawn at the end of the garden.

There was a girl sitting on the lawn, wearing a gardener's uniform and a straw hat, with many small farm tools in front of her.

Things like scissors, pitchforks, and wheelbarrows.

Sheng was squatting next to the lawn, and the girl looked at them with a little surprise.

This girl looked very young, and it was hard to guess her age. Or perhaps it was that the people of Blue Star looked very young before the age of fifty, and there was no visible change.

So Ai'er could only guess that the other person was less than fifty years old.

She seemed to have just finished some gardening work and was resting on a bench.

In his hand was a bottle of unknown drink, a type that Aier had never seen in the small supermarket.

"Sorry to bother you." Al said politely.

"You are new recruits. There are very few new recruits coming here." The gardening girl looked at Ai'er and said with a gentle smile on her face.

Sheng still stared at the girl blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.

There's something wrong with this person.

Ai'er felt a certain temperament from her.

A certain kind and caring aura directed towards them.

She just sat there simply, and there was no trace of a soldier on her.

But with the level of Aier and the others, they couldn't see much of this trace.

The gardening girl just sat there without making any other movements.

Having said that, Ai'er still intuitively judged that she was definitely a big shot.

"Hey, farming sister, did you plant all the flowers here?" Sheng suddenly asked.

This guy is asking for death!

Ai'er's heart suddenly tightened, fearing that she might say something wrong and offend the other person.

"Yes." The gardening girl replied calmly.

"Did you plant it all by yourself? Did you have any robots to help you?"

"No, I planted it myself."

"awesome."

"It's actually quite easy because we have someone to help us," she said calmly.

Any help? Anyone? This is full of officers and senior NCOs. Is there anyone else who can help?

Erhan sweated profusely.

"That's pretty impressive too." Sheng pointed to a newly cultivated flower field nearby. "Grandpa taught me how to weed before, so I know all of it."

The gardening girl nodded.

Indeed, the hardship of the ancient manual farm work is unbearable for children in modern society.

She lifted the bottle and took a sip of the unknown liquid.

Sheng sniffed and asked, "Is that a bar?"

Ai'er's heart sank.

The gardening girl nodded and said, "That's right."

"Any more?"

“Yes… yes.”
