Chapter 44: Get some bullets back?
The news that there was a sharpshooter among this year's recruits quickly spread throughout the camp.
Before lights out at night, instructor Huang Jiabo even came to visit Li Dongshui.
"Great, great, heroes emerge from youth!"
Everyone in Class 1 lined up neatly. Liu Guoping and Luo Shan were all smiles. Huang Jiabo patted Li Dongshui's shoulder affectionately and praised him.
"The battalion commander is not here. If he knew this good news, he would be so happy that he couldn't sleep. Hahaha!"
"It's been a long time since our old company has won a shooting ranking in the brigade or even regiment competitions. Guoping, you have to train them well!"
"Yes! Please rest assured, instructor!" Liu Guoping immediately answered loudly.
Li Dongshui felt embarrassed by the compliment and didn't know what to say. He just straightened his chest.
After the leaders left, the new recruits gathered around them.
Everyone was not surrounding Li Dongshui, but Xu Ge.
"Xu Ge, did you shoot a gun today too?"
"What does it feel like to shoot a gun? Is it difficult? Is it scary?"
"How many rounds did you fire, Xu Ge?"
"Li Dongshui scored 100 rings, how much did you get, Xu Ge?"
"Get out of the way, everyone. Ask, ask, ask. What's there to ask?" Xu Ge's face was uncertain. He looked at Kai Youmu, "Deputy squad leader, the lights will be turned off soon. Let's go upstairs."
Xu Ge was embarrassed to speak about the score of 17 rings. He now understood the feelings of those poor students in school.
Kai Youmu knew what was going on at a glance, and took out boxing gloves and kickboxing targets from under the bed with a smile, and the two of them then went up to the rooftop.
. . .
. . .
Luo Shan hadn't come up yet, and the two of them fed each other for a while. Kai Youmu looked at Xu Ge and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Don't ask, class vice-chairman. I won't tell you even if you ask me." Xu Ge said unhappily.
Kaiyoumu was a little surprised: "You didn't hit the target at all?"
"How is that possible? He's just a few points behind Li Dongshui."
"You call the difference of more than 80 rings just a number of rings, right?" Luo Shan came up at some point.
Xu Ge: ...
Kai Youmu didn't think it was a big deal and said, "Platoon leader, I think Xu Ge has never touched a gun before. It's good enough that he can shoot on the target for the first time!"
"That's understandable, but this kid almost scared us to death today!"
Luo Shan still gets angry when he thinks about it now, "He just shot randomly with his gun!"
Xu Ge didn't want to be criticized by the platoon leader again, so he quickly changed the subject and took out the claw knife from his waist: "Look, platoon leader, I bought a claw knife!"
"Huh? So fast? That Northwest Old Wang is pretty good!"
Luo Shan's attention was indeed attracted, and he took Xu Ge's claw knife. Kai Youmu also came over to take a look.
"Oh my, this knife is really beautiful!" Kai Youmu praised. "Xu Ge, how much did you spend on it?"
Xu Ge replied truthfully: "3200, I gave him 2400, and I will pay him back the remaining 800 next month."
Kaiyoumu nodded: "Old Wang is a good person. I am willing to give you credit."
Luo Shan raised his head at this time: "How much?"
"3200." Xu Ge glanced at Luo Shan's expression and asked uncertainly, "Platoon Leader, did I overpay?"
"It's not a question of whether it's expensive or not, it's a question of whether this knife is available or not!"
Luo Shan turned the blade over. "This is the designer's signature model, the Spirit Bird Claw Knife. Currently, there are basically no channels to buy it in China. This Lao Wang is really something!"
Xu Ge had no idea about the styles of claw knives, he just knew that the knife was not expensive.
Now that he had the sword, Luo Shan let Kai Youmu practice on his own for a while, and he brought Xu Ge to the side to teach him sword skills.
He first taught Xu Ge some basic moves, and he mastered them right away. This surprised and delighted Luo Shan. What a clever boy!
In fact, Luo Shan had no idea that as he taught, Xu Ge's claw knife skills kept increasing in value.
It was also the first time that Xu Ge discovered that the speed of upgrading a skill was not slow when it was taught by the person whose skill was extracted, at least much faster than practicing it by himself.
In just less than half an hour, Xu Ge's claw knife technique increased by three skill points.
Claw Knife Skills: Elementary (4/5).
"Any cold weapon can be considered an extension of the body, especially a close-quarters weapon like a claw knife. You should think of it as an extra part of your arm."
"This knife is of good quality. You can play with it whenever you have time. Get familiar with its various characteristics, including weight, length, hardness, and blade angle, so you can quickly find the feeling of using it like an arm or finger."
Luo Shan began to explain to Xu Ge what he needed to pay attention to next.
"Today I saw you pull the trigger pretty quickly when shooting. This shows that you have a quick reaction time. You should use this advantage in swordsmanship. Every inch shorter is an inch shorter, so speed is crucial..."
Xu Ge played with the claw knife and wrote down Luo Shan's words one by one.
"Okay, that's all for today. I'll teach you actual combat in a few days!"
Luo Shan waved his hand and said, "You go back and figure it out yourself. I'll play a couple of games with Kai Youmu."
"yes!"
. . .
. . .
After breakfast the next day, Du Hu urged Li Dongshui and Xu Ge to pack up and get ready to leave.
Li Dongshui learned from yesterday's lesson and stuffed his and Xu Ge's pockets with snacks and drinks, making their camouflage uniforms bulge.
"Second mate, can you get some bullets back from the shooting range today?" Qi Ruibiao suddenly pulled Xu Ge aside and whispered.
"You want me dead, right?" Xu Ge suspected that this guy had nothing else in his mind, and actually wanted to hide bullets?!
"What do you want this for?"
"I was secretly chatting with my girlfriend in the middle of the night last night, and she wanted to see it." Qi Ruibiao blinked, "We are back together again!"
"Do you know that this is a violation of military law? What are you thinking?" Xu Ge refused directly.
"Damn! What a coward!"
Qi Ruibiao turned around and ran to Li Dongshui, muttering something.
Xu Ge didn't bother to pay attention to him and followed Du Hu to the camp gate, where the military vehicle was already waiting.
Everyone wanted to finish calibrating the guns as soon as possible so that they could enjoy two more days of vacation when they came back, so they set off early today.
Luo Shan simply counted the number of people and then directed everyone to prepare to board the bus.
Beep beep beep!
A horn blew in the distance.
Everyone turned their heads and saw a red medium-sized truck driving towards them on the cement road at the camp gate.
"What's going on? How did the car from this place find its way here?" Luo Shan frowned.
The sentry at the camp gate has already come out of the guard post with a gun, ready to stop the incoming car.
Xu Ge looked at the car getting closer and closer and felt that it looked familiar. It was not until he saw the driver's face clearly that he realized what was going on and shouted, "Platoon leader, this is the car of the fellow villager who brought us back last time!"
“Oh, it’s true!”
Luo Shan also recognized him and quickly signaled to the sentry not to be nervous, as the person coming was a fellow villager.
squeak!
The truck stopped at the camp gate, the door opened, and Old Wei came down happily holding a banner.
"Woo woof woof!"
“Oh my!”
Immediately afterwards, a white dog and four furry little guys climbed down from the car.
