Chapter 59: Shooting Bullet Shells! Invincible in Close Combat?!
Xu Ge thought he had misheard, so he walked up to Guo Yuanshuai and asked, "Deputy Ban, what did you just say?"
"I said, I was going to teach you how to shoot at a 30-meter target."
Guo Yuanshuai repeated it again, looking at Xu Ge with a half-smile, "Why, judging from your expression, you want to scold me, right?"
"That's not the case."
Xu Ge said angrily, "But squad leader, I can shoot accurately at 30 meters. My problem now is that I can't shoot beyond 200 meters. What I need to practice is long-range shooting!"
Guo Yuanshuai lit a cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke into the sky, and asked calmly, "Why do you want to practice long-range shooting?"
Xu Ge walked forward and reached out to touch Guo Yuanshuai's forehead, but was immediately slapped away by Guo Yuanshuai.
"You idiot, you're rebelling!"
"Deputy, let me see if you have a fever."
"roll!"
"Deputy squad leader, I'm already very accurate in the 30-meter shot. There's really no need to practice..."
"Wait!" Guo Yuanshuai looked at Xu Ge and tilted his ear. "What did you just say? Say it again?"
Xu Ge didn't know what the old squad leader meant, but he still replied truthfully: "I said my 30-meter shot was already very accurate."
Guo Yuanshuai: "How accurate is it?"
Xu Ge blurted out: "Every shot never misses the target. As you said, I can hit the target with my eyes closed."
Guo Yuanshuai said with a serious expression: "Then why don't you close your eyes and hit me now?"
Xu Ge: ...
"Let me ask you, if these steel plate targets were replaced with chest ring targets with numbers on them, could you hit ten rings every time?" Guo Yuanshuai suddenly asked.
Xu Ge was stunned. He had never thought about this question.
"Are you not sure?"
"Deputy squad leader, I never fought."
"Why don't you just take a piece of target paper and stick it on it and try it out and you'll know?"
"yes!"
Xu Ge ran to the security guard at the back and asked for a new target paper, which he pasted on the steel target in the middle. Then he came back and quickly loaded the bullets and replaced the magazine.
"Deputy squad leader, I'll just hit him!"
Guo Yuanshuai nodded and said, "Go ahead, shoot ten times first and let me see!"
Snap!
The bullet is loaded.
"You're fighting while standing, and you're still lying down like a chicken chop at 30 meters!" Guo Yuanshuai cursed.
"yes!"
Xu Ge, who had just fallen down, immediately stood up, holding his gun and began to aim in a standing position.
This was the first time he aimed at the bull's eye at such a close distance. The white dot in the scope easily hit the bull's eye, and he immediately pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The ten shots were fired quickly. Xu Ge ran over confidently to get the target paper back, but he was dumbfounded when he saw it.
"How many rings did you get?" Guo Yuanshuai said with a half-smile.
Xu Ge said in disbelief: "How come it's only 91 rings?!"
Guo Yuanshuai laughed: "Why, didn't you say you were very accurate at 30 meters? You can't even hit a circle as big as the bull's eye, and you call that accurate?"
Xu Ge vaguely understood what the old squad leader meant and asked uncertainly, "Squad leader, do you want me to strive for close-range accuracy within 30 meters?"
Guo Yuanshuai nodded: "It is absolutely accurate!"
Xu Ge was a little confused: "But pursuing absolute accuracy doesn't seem to be very useful. Since I can hit the target with the first shot, even if I don't kill him, can't I just shoot again later?"
Guo Yuanshuai: "What if there's no chance to fire back?"
Xu Ge: ...
"Times have changed, Gebao!"
Guo Yuanshuai stood up and asked, "Do you think the battle is still the same as before, with two groups of people setting up battle formations and fighting?"
"If they're far away, we'll use artillery fire. If they're close, we'll use drones and robot wolves to self-destruct. All our manpower will hide behind them. In the end, they'll either engage in street fighting or surrender.
Even a special forces unit like the Sirius, when carrying out small-scale infiltration missions behind enemy lines, spends most of their time flying around the map. Who would actually run around?
Xu Ge: "We just ran around on our two legs yesterday."
Bang!
Guo Yuanshuai raised his hand and his head exploded: "I said it's most of the time, you're just arguing, right?"
Xu Ge covered his head and begged for mercy: "Deputy, I was wrong, please continue!"
"Don't you want to go to Tianlang? Everyone there is better than the other. You say you have a good shot, but others are even better! You can shoot 400 meters with a 191 rifle with a scope, but others can shoot 600 meters with a 95 rifle with a machine gun! Unless you can be like Dongshui and surpass everyone else in shooting, can you do it?"
"cannot..."
"If you can't, then why are you pursuing something you can't do?"
Xu Ge's eyes lit up, and he understood a little.
Guo Yuanshuai continued, "You don't consider yourself a sniper, so why bother trying to fight at long distances? If you encounter a target you can't hit, can't you just call a sniper over?"
"yes!"
"What is our current shooting philosophy? Absolutely fast and absolutely accurate! What's your advantage? You're faster than others within 30 meters, my Ge Bao!"
"yes!"
"So what if those snipers are accurate? So what if they can shoot 3,000 meters? Bullets take over ten seconds to fly, and they can dodge a sneeze!"
"yes!"
"Think of it another way. If you could be both incredibly fast and incredibly accurate within thirty meters, wouldn't that make you invincible in another sense? Who can dodge a bullet within thirty meters?"
"yes..."
Guo Yuanshuai kicked him and said, "Don't be so mean! Go and pick up a bullet shell!"
"yes!"
Xu Ge immediately picked up a bullet shell and came back.
He has now been completely enlightened by Guo Yuanshuai, and his entire understanding has suddenly become clear!
The squad leader was right. Even if I practiced long-range shooting until I died, I might not be able to catch up with Li Dongshui, let alone a master sniper like Lao Lian. But I could practice close range!
It is really possible to be absolutely fast and accurate within 30 meters!
At close range, I am truly invincible!
"Don't you always carry a claw knife with you? Give it to me!"
Guo Yuanshuai took the claw knife, cut a piece of the fishing line he had taken out of his pocket, tied it to the bottom of the shell, and handed it to Xu Ge: "Go, hang it up. From now on, you will practice shooting shells, both with rifles and pistols!"
"yes!"
. . .
. . .
For more than a week, after completing two all-around events every day, Xu Ge would go to the shooting range to practice shooting shells.
A distance of 30 meters may not seem far, but if the target is replaced with a bullet shell, it does not look any bigger than the bull's eye at a distance of 200 meters.
You know, the radius of the cartridge case is almost the same as that of the bullet, so the requirement for tolerance is abnormally high!
At the beginning, Xu Ge would often shoot for an hour or so without hitting the target.
Guo Yuanshuai taught him how to focus on the bullet shell and how to control the gun on the extended line of the trajectory.
In Guo Yuanshuai's words, Xu Ge has trouble concentrating at long distances, but is better than most people at close range.
After shooting for two days, Xu Ge also discovered that he would feel uneasy when shooting at targets more than 200 meters away, but he did not have this feeling at all when shooting bullet shells. Instead, he had a confidence that he would hit them all sooner or later.
Da! Da! Da!
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Ding! Ding!
After finishing his rifle practice, he started practicing with a pistol. By the fifth day, Xu Ge was basically able to hit the target 2 out of 3 shots.
After being hit, the shells would swing back and forth. Xu Ge felt that waiting for them to return to stillness took too long, so he simply took down all the steel targets and hung a whole row of shells on the shelf.
Da da da!
Bang bang bang!
Ding ding ding!
The sound of gunfire and the crisp sound of shell casings being hit echoed across the shooting range.
Xu Ge was no longer thinking about the targets at 100 meters, 200 meters, or 400 meters. His attention was completely focused on the bullet casings 30 meters away.
By the second week, Xu Ge could hit more than 8 out of 10 shots with either a rifle or a pistol.
The price he paid was that his hands were now covered with calluses, especially on the base of his left palm, his right index finger, and the base of his thumb.
In fact, the first few days were the most painful. In order to train Xu Ge's muscle memory, Guo Yuanshuai made him stand with a gun for more than an hour every day. In addition, he had to put a bullet shell on the muzzle and did not allow it to fall.
After so much effort, not only has my shooting accuracy at a distance of 30 meters improved rapidly, but my proficiency in shooting skills has also increased significantly!
Shooting: LV4 (535/9999).
And Guo Yuanshuai's next request to him was to increase the shooting speed!
To achieve the same hit rate while shooting quickly!
To put it simply, the previous steel plate target is replaced with a bullet shell, but all other requirements remain unchanged.
Xu Ge was shocked when he heard this requirement for the first time. He always thought that the old deputy squad leader just wanted him to achieve accuracy within 30 meters.
Rapid fire to hit the shell?
Not to mention being the class vice-captain, Xu Ge even suspected that even Thor might not be able to do it!
But when Guo Yuanshuai effortlessly completed the feat of hitting ten out of ten shots in less than six seconds in front of him, Xu Ge was completely convinced.
Yes, since the old deputy class teacher was able to propose this training and pointed out the possible problems that might arise at each stage in advance, how could he not be able to do it himself?
So Xu Ge started a new round of hard training.
Da da da!
Bang bang bang!
Ding ding ding!
Amid the sound of bullets colliding with shell casings, time came to February.
I don’t know when it started, but every day military trucks roar past on the road in front of the barracks, loaded with all kinds of supplies.
After a dozen advance soldiers from the Sixth Company left with a convoy loaded with supplies, the specific time for the training was determined: the entire battalion will set off the day after tomorrow!
After dinner that day, Li Dongshui came back with a backpack and a smile on his face.
At the same time, he brought back an exciting news: the Sixth Company has a second high-precision sniper rifle!
When Li Dongshui returned to the dormitory, Luo Shan personally carried his backpack and brought it in for him.
"Congratulations, old class vice-chairman!"
Luo Shan was grinning from ear to ear, "Li Dongshui won first place in the regiment's sniper competition!"
"Oh, really?"
"Holy crap! Awesome, Ah Shui!"
"Did you bring back a high-precision sniper?"
Facing everyone's congratulations and questions, Li Dongshui's face flushed with excitement: "Wow, from now on my gun will be the same as Wang Lin's, a 201 high-precision sniper rifle, hahahaha!"
“Not bad, not bad!”
Guo Yuanshuai looked pleased, "If we weren't leaving for training the day after tomorrow, I would have celebrated for you this weekend!"
Luo Shan looked at Guo Yuanshuai and grinned. "Don't worry, Deputy Squad Leader Guo. Once we get to the training ground, I'll take care of your logistical support for the next few months!"
"Um?"
Guo Yuanshuai looked at Luo Shan and said, "Li Dongshui brought back a high-precision sniper rifle. I wonder if that's going to make you so happy."
"Old class vice-chairman, today is a double celebration... No, triple celebration!"
Luo Shan also laughed out loud. "The order for awards for meritorious service has come down. Tomorrow night we'll have a military ceremony to present the awards. This time, the entire battalion will be present together!"
Everyone became excited upon hearing this, knowing that Luo Shan was talking about the action on New Year's Eve.
"Platoon leader, who has made meritorious contributions?"
"Platoon leader, what does triple happiness mean?"
"Platoon leader, you're laughing so lasciviously, so you're not going to get any credit for it, are you?"
"Niu Sanxian, how dare you talk like that? Do you believe I'll beat you into a Niu Huanxi?!"
"Hahaha!"
Xu Ge was also joining in the fun, when suddenly he saw the token emerge by itself.
The token appeared before my eyes and several new lines of prompts appeared.
[The host has received a third-class individual merit and can issue a D-level military order once.]
[Host obtains collective second-class merit and can issue an E-level military order once]
In the lower left corner of the token, the button with the military order flashed twice in succession.
Xu Ge pressed his consciousness on the button and relevant instructions appeared immediately.
[D-level military order requirements: Get first place in any single subject in the regimental unit training assessment, or complete other challenges of corresponding difficulty]
[E-level Military Order Requirements: Get first place in any single subject in the battalion-level unit training assessment, or complete other challenges of corresponding difficulty]
It seems that I have also won the third-class merit this time!
Xu Ge was delighted and immediately learned about his military achievements through the prompts on the token. Not only was he awarded the third-class merit as an individual, but he also won the second-class merit as a group.
This way, I have two more chances to issue a military order...
Huh? That's not right!
After reading the prompt again, Xu Ge immediately found something wrong.
In the last operation to rescue Xu Can, Class 9 was awarded a second-class collective merit. The prompt given by the system at that time was a D-level military order. Xu Ge had already signed the military order at the military meeting, so naturally he would not remember it wrong.
But this time it was also a second-class collective merit, why did the system only give an E-level military order?
