Chapter 446: Hit the Ten Rings
Wang Tiezhu knew the discipline of the army, so he would not let him shoot. He continued with a contemptuous and disdainful tone:
"This is a real gun. Do you think it was made by the reeds in your village? You can shoot it whenever you want."
"You don't let me shoot, are you afraid that I can shoot more accurately than you and you will lose face later?" Xia Qingcao looked at the soldier and asked. This was the method of provoking him that his brother had taught him, and now it was just right to use.
Although he knew it was against the rules, Wang Tiezhu got angry when he saw Xia Qingcao speaking so "arrogantly", and seeing that the other soldiers were looking at him with mocking eyes, he didn't care about anything else and directly gave his position to Xia Qingcao, saying:
"Come on, shoot two shots for me to see. If you can hit 6 rings with two shots today, I will call you big brother." After that, he did not forget to laugh and said:
"Kid, you have to aim carefully. It doesn't count if you hit other targets, hahaha..."
The soldiers who were originally watching the excitement around him saw that he really handed the gun to Xia Qingcao, and immediately stepped forward to stop him. However, before they reached the two of them, gunshots were rang out.
After two shots were heard, Wang Tiezhu looked at Xia Qingcao who was standing there rubbing his shoulders with a gun in his hand, and suddenly burst into laughter. Then he took the gun from his hand, pointed at the butt of the gun on the ground and said,
"Hahaha... kid, do you understand that the gun should be placed here to shoot accurately? Have you watched too many movies? You just started shooting with your hands. It feels better now, right? Your shoulder must have been hurt, hahaha... Go to the infirmary and check if it's dislocated."
At this time, Qian Qianjin, who had just finished using the toilet, ran over. Seeing that everyone was gathered together, talking about something in a fluke, he thought something was wrong and immediately quickened his pace.
Seeing him coming, the soldiers immediately quieted down. After Xiang Qianjin asked a man to stand up and explained the whole story, he suddenly turned around and looked at Wang Tiezhu who had just handed the gun to Xia Qingcao:
"Wang Tiezhu, stand at attention!"
The man who asked Wang Tiezhu immediately stood up straight with a tense look on his face, knowing that he was definitely dead this time. Sure enough, the next second he heard Xiang Qianjin say loudly:
"Wang Tiezhu handed the gun to other people without authorization. His shooting qualification has been revoked. Wait for the regiment commander to come and punish him." After that, he asked him to stand aside.
Xia Qingcao didn't expect that because of her, this soldier would be disqualified from shooting and would be punished. She immediately stood up and said to Xiang Qianjin:
"It's my fault. I deliberately provoked him, so he gave me the gun."
"You are wrong. I will report to the commander later." Xiang Qianjin said, and took the telescope next to him, wanting to take a look at the target that Xia Qingcao had just shot.
He took one look and an expression of disbelief immediately appeared on his face. He turned his head unconsciously to look at Xia Qingcao. After a moment, he raised the telescope and looked carefully. After a long time, he put the telescope down and said to a soldier next to him:
"You, go and get the target he hit."
The soldier took the order and ran over quickly. After a while, he arrived in front of the target, took down the target, and when he ran over, he actually shouted loudly:
"Ten rings, ten rings, he hit ten rings..."
Hearing the shouting, everyone's face immediately showed surprise. Wang Tiezhu, who had just made a bet with Xia Qingcao, widened his eyes in disbelief, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
After the soldier brought the target over, everyone gathered around. When they saw the two dots in the center of the target, everyone was stunned.
"This is fucking amazing!" A soldier couldn't help but sigh.
No wonder they were so surprised. They had been training in the army for so long, and they could only hit the ten-ring a few times. The kid in front of them, who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, shot two ten-rings with just two shots. This completely overturned their cognition!
Wang Tiezhu, who was punished to stand, also walked over unconsciously, staring at the target, looking at it again and again, and never believed his eyes.
"Who taught you how to shoot?" Xiang Qianjin looked at Xia Qingcao and couldn't help asking.
"The old hunter in our village." Xia Qingcao said truthfully.
The old hunter was a good friend of his father. He learned hunting from him since he was a child. Many of the rabbits raised at home were shot by him. He even developed the ability to see at night.
He had previously shot living creatures running or flying in the mountains. He had rich practical experience. This dead target was not difficult for him at all.
"Masters are indeed among the people!" The soldiers next to him sighed unconsciously.
Now everyone no longer looked at Xia Qingcao with contempt. They were all incredulous and admiring, as if they were looking at a rare sharpshooter. After all, he didn't even aim or use a buttstock, but he shot two ten-rings directly. It
was simply unconvincing!
"All of you stand still, I'm going to find the head of the group." Xiang Qianjin said, and then he ran forward. This kind of sharpshooter is hard to come by, and he must report it to Lu Jingchen immediately.
After he left, everyone gathered around Xia Qingcao and asked him who he was, how old he was, and how many years he had been using a gun.
Xia Qingcao didn't rush to answer, but looked at Wang Tiezhu, who had just made a bet with him, and asked:
"What did you call me when you said I won?"
After all, he was just a half-grown child, and he was in a stage of strong desire to win. He was serious about standing up to take responsibility just now, and now that he had won, he was also serious about asking the other party to fulfill his promise.
Wang Tiezhu looked at the child who was not even as tall as his shoulders. In front of so many people, he could not call him "Big Brother" and his face was full of embarrassment.
"Tiezhu, admit defeat and call him, hahaha..."
The soldiers beside him started to make a noise:
"Yes, he is indeed a better shooter than you. It is not shameful to call a sharpshooter "Big Brother".
At this time, Xia Qingcao looked at him and said seriously:
"Are you trying to cheat? Aren't soldiers supposed to do what they say?" Since
he had risen to the level of a soldier, Wang Tiezhu was too embarrassed to hesitate and called him:
"Big Brother."
Hahaha...
Seeing him calling a child "Big Brother", the other soldiers laughed so hard that they fell backwards.
At this time, Lu Jingzhen strode over here, and people followed him. Everyone looked at him, and immediately stopped laughing, standing straight with a serious look on their faces.
In this serious atmosphere, Xia Qingcao also stood up straight unconsciously.
He had always remembered what his mother and brother had said, that when he came to the army, he must not cause trouble for his sister. He didn't know if what he had just done was considered trouble, and he began to feel uneasy.
Lu Jingxie raised his hand and took the target passed to him, looked at it, then lowered his head and asked Xia Qingcao in a deep voice:
"Did you shoot it?"
