Chapter 87: Shooting Competition Amazes Everyone
The crisp sound of gunfire was heard continuously. So far, the best score was 45 rings, which was scored by a male militiaman from the Red Flag Brigade.
On the rostrum, several leaders were discussing the 45 rings.
"Every shot is a nine-ring shot, which is considered excellent among the militia."
"It's only nine rings, it's nothing."
Li Rong obviously looked down on him. He could score 45 rings with his eyes closed.
"I've heard that Deputy Battalion Commander Li is a sharpshooter, but he's definitely no match for you."
The cadres of the armed forces department were very good at talking. He had already inquired that although Li Rong was new, he was highly regarded by the army commander. There were even rumors that Deputy Army Commander Cui wanted to marry his daughter to Deputy Battalion Commander Li.
He definitely couldn't offend the future son-in-law of the military commander.
"No need to compare with me. Judging from today's match, he is not the best either."
Li Rong glanced at Luo Xinxin, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Does Deputy Battalion Commander Li know that female comrade?"
The cadre had good eyesight and quickly spotted Luo Xinxin, a female comrade with a very unusual appearance. Could she be the daughter of Deputy Commander Cui?
It is said that Deputy Commander Cui is darker than charcoal. He must resemble his father, so it is normal for Comrade Cui to have a dark face.
"Um."
Li Rong did not deny it, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his good mood was visibly visible.
The cadre came over and immediately understood, and he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Because he thought of an interesting thing. Deputy Battalion Commander Li has fair skin. If he really marries Comrade Cui, the couple will have a very suitable nickname, which is the Black and White Devils.
It took a lot of effort for him to suppress the urge to laugh wildly.
It was Luo Xinxin's turn. She raised her rifle, aimed casually, and fired five shots in a row.
It happened so fast that no one present could react, except Li Rong.
"Fifty rings!"
The comrade who reported the results was very excited. This was the best result in recent years, and it was a female comrade.
The whole audience was shocked and stood up to see the sharpshooter. When they saw that it was a lesbian, they became even more excited.
"Well done, you are indeed the women who hold up half the sky!"
The cadres on the rostrum were all very excited. In previous competitions, the champions were all male comrades. If a female comrade could win the championship this time, it would definitely play a positive and guiding role.
The higher-ups have been advocating that women hold up half the sky, and have asked women to be assigned to every position. If the shooting champion in their county is a woman, it will definitely attract provincial attention.
The cadre sitting next to Li Rong was named Zhang Qiu Sheng. When the score of 50 rings was announced, he was the first to stand up and applaud. He was still thinking in his heart, as expected, a good father will have a good daughter. Deputy Commander Cui's daughter is also great.
From this perspective, although Miss Cui has a somewhat peculiar appearance, she is a good match for Deputy Battalion Commander Li.
"This female comrade is really great, what do you think, Comrade Li?"
Zhang Qiu Sheng's palms turned red from clapping.
“That’s really great.”
Li Rong smiled and applauded. He was not only a sharpshooter, but also very good at catching enemy spies.
"Comrade Li, when you get married, please remember to let me know so I can have a drink at your wedding."
Zhang Qiu Sheng moved closer, his tone somewhat flattering.
He has worked in the armed forces for several years but has never been promoted because he lacks connections. If he could get in touch with Deputy Commander Cui, he would definitely be promoted.
"good."
Li Rong agreed readily. In half a year, Luo Xinxin would be eighteen and they could get the marriage certificate.
As for the political review, it is not a problem either. Luo Xinxin has made great contributions one after another. Even if she cannot get rid of the hat for the time being, she will not be held back in the political review and will definitely pass.
Hearing the affirmative answer, Zhang Qiu Sheng grinned with joy, as if he had already seen the blue sky shining with golden light.
Luo Xinxin was not surprised by the score of fifty rings. She used the Hundred-Step Piercing Card, so fifty rings was no big deal.
After returning to the stage, Director Lei was so excited that he kept praising him: "Well done, Xiao Luo. Don't be proud, keep going."
"Master, please prepare the ten-dollar bonus. It will definitely be mine."
Luo Xinxin was confident and high-spirited.
"There are still two rounds to go. Pride brings harm, while humility brings benefit." Baohui poured cold water on him.
"Chief Bao, you're such a bore. Do you think I, a female comrade, got fifty damage just by sheer luck?"
Luo Xinxin didn't tolerate him and immediately confronted him.
"There's definitely a bit of luck involved. It's the right time, the right place, and the right people."
Baohui smiled awkwardly and tried to smooth things over.
He also realized that he had said the wrong thing and was afraid of being criticized by the director.
"Even if it's luck, it's also strength. Otherwise, why can't you hit fifty damage? It means you have no luck."
Luo Xinxin mocked in a low voice, and she felt relieved when she saw Baohui's face turn blue and red.
Director Lei smiled, ignored them, and continued watching the game on the stage.
At the end of the first round, Luo Xinxin had the best result, while the other two male comrades scored 25 and 31 rings respectively. The one with 31 rings could participate in the next round, while the one with 25 rings would be eliminated.
In the second round, the shooting distance was changed to fifty meters, which greatly increased the difficulty.
Many people who performed well in the previous round did not perform well in this round. The target fifty meters away was too small, and it was difficult to get a good score.
However, there were also a few good results, such as 45 rings in the previous round, and this round he performed exceptionally well and scored a good score of 49 rings.
“Good job!”
The audience burst into warm applause.
Everyone thought that this young man should be the first place in this round.
As for Luo Xinxin, they had the same idea as Baohui, they were not very optimistic and felt that the last round was just luck.
It was Luo Xinxin's turn. She used the Hundred-Step Piercing Card again, then raised her rifle and casually fired five shots.
Before everyone could react, they heard five gunshots. They couldn't help but frown, thinking that Luo Xinxin was too careless and didn't take this competition seriously at all.
"Fifty rings!"
The sound of reporting results was like thunder.
The whole audience suddenly fell into an eerie silence, and after a few seconds, there was thunderous applause.
"Amazing! This is the art of shooting an arrow through a hundred steps! As expected..."
Zhang Qiu Sheng swallowed Deputy Commander Cui in time. The deputy commander has always been low-key, and he cannot bring trouble to his leader.
Li Rong's mouth curled up and his eyes were bright.
There are only ten people left in the third round, and no matter what the result is, these ten people will get the prize.
The first place winner receives the highest prize of fifty yuan, as well as a certificate of honor.
Second place is thirty dollars, and third place is twenty dollars.
The other places are considered consolation prizes, five dollars each, and a certificate.
The distance for the third round is even longer, one hundred meters. The target is particularly small one hundred meters away, which greatly increases the difficulty.
Moreover, among the ten people, there is only one female comrade, Luo Xinxin, and she is also the only representative of Qianjin Farm. The other two male comrades were eliminated.
"I'm sure I can win!"
A firm male voice sounded next to her. Luo Xinxin glanced at him and saw that it was the man who scored 49 rings in the previous round. He was about eighteen or nineteen years old and still had a childish look on his face, but he was really talented. She relied on cheats, but this guy had real skills.
“You’re pretty awesome!”
Luo Xinxin praised sincerely.
The boy was stunned for a moment, his face flushed, and he said shyly: "You are also very powerful. I will use all my skills."
"I can do that, too."
Luo Xinxin smiled and said that she would continue to use the Baibu Chuanyang card and would absolutely respect her opponent.
The competition started and the boy was the first to go on stage. He performed better than in the previous two rounds and scored a good score of fifty rings. The comrades who were counting shouted "splits" and the audience burst into warm applause.
