Chapter 161 Shooting Range Competition
At the 77515 Unit's firing range, yellow sand and withered grass covered the ground, and there was no one in sight for miles around.
Wen Ni and Shi Yuan stood with their hands behind their backs, one on each side.
Outside the iron fence surrounding the firing range, officers and students who had come to watch the excitement stood.
Almost all the students from Class 2 and Class 3 were present.
They were all very curious about the outcome of the match!
"How do you want to compete?" Wen Ni asked.
“On the table in front of you and me, there are three different types of guns,” Shi Yuan said in a deep and detailed voice.
"They are a pistol, a rifle, and a sniper rifle!"
"There is only one bullet in every gun!"
"Directly in front of us are three moving targets at varying distances. They will appear and disappear randomly!"
"Therefore, we must make a judgment in the shortest time and choose the appropriate gun to hit the target. We only have three shots, and the one with the highest total score wins! How about that?"
After explaining the rules, Shi Yuan looked at Wen Ni.
This type of competition really tests a shooter's reaction time, judgment, and aiming ability!
"no problem."
Wen Ni responded loudly, while looking down at the pile of disassembled gun parts on the table. "However, do we still need to reassemble these three guns ourselves?"
"That's right!"
Instructor Meng stepped forward and added, "These three guns have been completely disassembled. If you want to hit the target, you must reassemble them in the shortest possible time before the target disappears!"
"I see." Wen Ni nodded in understanding, quite intrigued by the rules. "Is this a new competition method developed by the military? Interesting!"
"This rule is new, introduced in the last two years. Didn't Coach Leng say yesterday that you hadn't retired? Haven't you heard of this kind of competition at all?" Instructor Meng asked, somewhat puzzled.
“I’m not often in the team,” Wen Ni said, stroking the parts of the gun. “I don’t know much about the things in the team either.”
These words puzzled Ishihara and the others even more.
I'm really curious which special forces unit she and Captain Leng belong to. They're so special! During their service, they're allowed to leave the unit and even go out to study?
“If you don’t understand, let me explain in more detail,” Shi Yuan said. “If a target suddenly appears at a distance, but you’ve assembled a short-range pistol, you might not even be able to hit it at all!”
"Understood."
It turns out that tactics were also involved!
Wen Ni listened to the rules calmly from beginning to end, as if victory was assured! There was not a trace of tension or worry.
"This is your first time competing under these rules. Shouldn't you give it a try first? So you don't think I'm bullying you?" Shi Yuan looked at her. "After all, I've participated in several competitions under these rules."
"No need," Wen Ni refused directly.
"Are you sure?" another instructor spoke up. "Let me warn you, this rule is extremely difficult, but our Chief Instructor Shi is incredibly skilled. His highest score was 28 rings, which is rare even in the entire army!"
"I said, there's no need." Wen Ni looked at Shi Yuan with cold arrogance. "Go ahead and use your full strength!"
"Your confidence is infuriating." Shi Yuan was growing to like Wen Ni's personality more and more!
"My strength is the foundation of my confidence." Wen Ni raised a finger and shook it. "As for you, you have no right to be jealous."
Shi Yuan was amused by her sharp tongue. After a while, he composed himself and said, "Alright! Since that's the case, let's let our strength speak for itself! I'll go first and set an example for you!"
"OK".
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Shi Yuan stepped forward and stood in front of the long table filled with gun parts!
Instructor Meng slowly raised the starting pistol in his hand. "Ready!"
"start!"
As the starting pistol fired, the timer began to run.
The students outside the barbed wire fence couldn't help but hold their breath!
Anxi was also standing among them, filled with both anticipation and worry! It was as if she were competing alongside them!
Inside the firing range
At the very beginning, Shi Yuan seemed like a completely different person, extremely focused and composed!
He moved very quickly, assembling a light rifle in just over ten seconds.
Just as he finished loading the magazine, a target appeared in front of him without warning!
"It's a short-range target."
Standing at the front of the protective net, Lu Jinbai suddenly spoke up, "Each gun only has one bullet. If Chief Instructor Shi uses his rifle to shoot at this close-range target, then there will definitely be a long-range target behind him that will be missed, resulting in a 0-ring score. He will undoubtedly lose!"
"Oh..." After listening to Lu Jinbai's explanation, the confused students finally understood a little.
Ishibuchi had obviously taken this into account as well.
Pistols are relatively easier to assemble, followed by rifles. Rifles can hit targets at greater distances, but their accuracy is lower. Sniper rifles, on the other hand, are more complicated to assemble and take more time.
That's why Ishibashi chose a compromise rifle and assembled it first!
He threw down the assembled rifle and, in a few seconds, reassembled the pistol!
The moment the moving target was hidden, he suddenly shot it with his pistol!
After hitting the target, he didn't rest for a moment and immediately went to assemble the sniper rifle.
The sniper rifle was only half assembled, and less than ten seconds after the previous target disappeared, a second target suddenly appeared!
This time, it's the furthest target!
Shi Yuan's expression hardened, and he immediately raised the rifle he had assembled earlier. After aiming for a moment, he pulled the trigger and hit the target!
Then he lowered his head again and continued to assemble the sniper rifle as quickly as possible.
The sniper rifle had just been assembled when the third target appeared. He looked through the scope and hit the target in a matter of seconds!
"Chief Instructor Shi Yuan, all three shots hit the target! Assembly and aiming time: 2 minutes and 36 seconds!" the instructor who was keeping time suddenly announced.
The whole process took less than three minutes?
The speed was so fast that everyone present was dazzled!
They were still marveling at the results when the target papers were sent over and tallied, but little did they know that the results would be even more astonishing!
"The first shot from the pistol hit the bullseye!"
"The second rifle shot hit the 9-ring!"
"The third sniper shot hit the bullseye!"
Instructor Meng shouted the target score, his face filled with disbelief, "Chief Instructor Shi, you've broken the record! You're just one ring away from a perfect score!"
"Um."
Ishigawa was unconcerned about his own performance; his gaze was fixed firmly on Wen Ni beside him. "Now, it's your turn!"
"Chief Instructor Shi, you're really amazing." Wen Ni raised her eyebrows, gave him a thumbs up, and then strolled leisurely to the long table.
Looking at Wen Ni's figure
The students who were observing the protective netting couldn't help but start discussing it!
"Chief Instructor Shi just hit 29 rings, so Wen Ni would need at least 30 rings to win, right? That's too difficult, how is it possible?"
"As Instructor Meng just said, very few soldiers in the entire team can hit 28 rings. How could a student soldier with such poor marksmanship possibly win?"
"It's all about participation, it's all about participation!"
"Indeed, it's extremely difficult." Lu Jinbai wasn't entirely sure if Wen Ni truly possessed this ability!
"You can do it! Wen Ni!" Only An Xi, clinging to the protective netting, shouted at the top of her lungs, "Go for it!"
This prompted Shi Yuan to turn around and look at An Xi's flushed face.
Wen Ni simply turned her back to her and gave an OK sign with an air of authority!
Instructor Meng raised the starting pistol again. "Ready!"
"start!"
