Chapter 8 Shooting
Himmelstoss's devil-like voice rang out again, frightening everyone.
He walked up to Lu Mingfei and his group, staring closely at the movements of each of them as they dismantled their guns. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he could catch any tiny mistake they made.
After Lu Mingfei's detailed explanation just now, although they are not very proficient yet, they are able to disassemble and assemble the guns smoothly.
Although Lu Mingfei was already able to quickly disassemble the gun skillfully, his speed was still consistent with the people around him. After all, he still understood the principle that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot.
Although Lu Mingfei deliberately slowed down his movements, his smooth and error-free movements still attracted Himmelstoss's attention.
"I didn't expect that you pigs did such a good job." Himmelstoss looked at Lu Mingfei and his group in surprise. He never expected that these new recruits could actually complete the disassembly and assembly of guns after just one look.
"Hmph, but your luck won't be so good this afternoon. Disband now!" Himmelstoss snorted coldly and announced the disbandment, but he was obviously unable to punish these recruits, which made him very unhappy.
After Himmelstoss left, all the new recruits surrounded Lu Mingfei and burst into cheers, as if they had won a battle.
"Hahaha, Hans, look at Himmelstoss's expression, it's as if he's eaten shit, it's so funny."
Paul put his arm around Lu Mingfei's shoulders and laughed out loud. He should be the one who hated Himmelstoss the most among them. After all, he had the most bruises on his body when they took a shower together yesterday.
"Well, let's go eat. We don't know how Himmelstoss will torture us this afternoon."
Looking at the new recruits laughing around him, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but smile. This should be the first smile he had shown since arriving here.
Lu Mingfei and his group came to the restaurant in high spirits. The cooks in the restaurant still remembered how Lu Mingfei and his group had been like starving ghosts the night before.
He was surprised to see that everyone's spirits were refreshed just one night, and today they arrived at the cafeteria earlier than other rows.
The pea soup for lunch today was not only hot but also contained meat. In addition to the black bread, the staple food also included sausages. The originally dry and hard to swallow black bread seemed so delicious with the combination of broth and sausages.
The meal brought tears to their eyes. The passion for defending their country, which had somewhat faded, was rekindled and they were ready to face the challenges of the afternoon.
Of course, this does not include Lu Mingfei. After all, this is not the country he wants to protect, and he does not want to join the army. He just wants to return to his original world, or find a place to eat and wait for death.
Time passed quickly, and afternoon soon arrived. Himmelstoss appeared in front of Lu Mingfei and the others again.
"Pigs, take your guns and follow me."
Led by Himmelstoss, Lu Mingfei and his team came to the shooting range.
"Shooting is the basic skill of every soldier. Every time you kill an enemy, the Empire is one step closer to victory. The Empire needs you to destroy the enemy, not to shoot randomly and waste the Empire's bullets. Watch my movements clearly."
Himmelstoss picked up a G98 bolt-action rifle, lay on the sandbags at the shooting range and shot at a target a hundred meters away.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the target in the distance was hit instantly, eight rings.
"Do you know what to do? Then let's start training!" Himmelstoss stood up and dusted himself off, looking unhappy as if he was annoyed that his clean and tidy military uniform was dirty.
After brushing off the dust on his body, he explained again the key points of shooting and how to make the correct movements, then stood aside and watched the recruits shoot at the targets.
The recruits positioned themselves on the sandbags as Himmelstoss had instructed, then aimed and pulled the trigger. However, since it was their first time firing a gun, no one hit the target.
"You pigs! Look at the target in front of you before you shoot!"
All those present were hot-blooded young men who could not stand Himmelstoss's repeated insults and were all filled with rage.
But this is the army, and it has its own rules. If you dare to disobey the orders of your superiors or even disrespect them, you will be punished.
They could only vent their anger on the target in front of them, but their marksmanship was not even good enough. Only a few shots barely hit the target, and no one knew where the vast majority of the bullets went.
Seeing this scene, Himmelstoss's mocking voice became louder and louder.
At this moment, a gunshot interrupted Himmelstoss's mockery. Ten rings, a bullet hit the center of the target. Just when Himmelstoss thought it was just a coincidence, gunshot rang out again, shattering Himmelstoss's fantasy. Ten rings again.
The gunshots rang out one after another, ten rings, ten rings, ten rings, ten rings, five consecutive shots hit the bull's eye and stunned everyone around, until the crisp sound of the bullets being used up was heard, which brought people around back from their shock.
"Oh! Hans! You are so awesome!" There was a burst of exclamations from all around.
That’s right, the few shots just now were fired by Lu Mingfei. He had been lying on the sandbags and didn’t shoot until the others were almost out of bullets.
That's because when he aimed and prepared to shoot, he felt that the gun in his hand became a part of his body. He could even feel every line on the gun. This feeling was very wonderful.
When he came out of this state, he subconsciously pulled the trigger, pulling the bolt and pulling the trigger five times in a row.
Lu Mingfei originally had a very good talent for shooting. During the military training in high school, he fired five shots in a row, and all of them hit nine or ten rings, which alarmed the instructor.
The instructor even recommended that he go to military school in the future, but Lu Mingfei, the coward, refused. He didn't expect that he could not join the army in his own country, but ended up in another country as a lowest-level soldier by accident. It would be better if he had gone to military school in the first place. At least he could become an officer after graduation.
With the blessing of his original talent and that wonderful state, Lu Mingfei's marksmanship was not to say superb, but at least he could hit whatever he pointed at.
"Quiet! Quiet!" Himmelstoss felt ashamed when he saw the new recruits who began to cheer for Lu Mingfei. The mocking words just now seemed to be slapping him in the face.
"It seems that you have all mastered the shooting skills. Let's start the next training." Himmelstoss said with a grim face and gritted teeth.
