Chapter 112 Live-Ammunition Shooting! A full ring will give you a third-class merit? [Please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket!]
I walked back to the dormitory with my luggage clanging.
As soon as she entered the door, before Zhao Weihong could ask any questions, a whistle suddenly sounded in the corridor.
"Di!"
"All classes, go to the study room to get your vests!"
Vest?
What's the point of wearing a vest in this cold winter?
While Zhao Weihong was wondering, Shi Jidong had already put down his luggage and walked out of the dormitory.
"Wei Hong, put the things on the bed first and clean them up when you come back."
"Hurry up, gather in the study room!"
After returning to the class, Shi Jidong instantly returned to his usual "living devil" state, speaking in a cold tone.
Zhang Biao and others hurried forward, helped Zhao Weihong put down the luggage, and asked with concern.
"Deputy, are you okay?"
"The squad leader said we're going to do target practice today, and we were worried that you wouldn't be able to come back!"
"It was all right."
"It's just a small cut. The military doctor insisted on giving me an injection."
"Okay, stop talking. Don't make the monitor angry."
Zhang Biao and others accepted the advice readily and immediately ran into the study room.
It’s the same scene as when the clothes were distributed.
On the table in front of the study room, there were piles of "vests."
However, this is not the "vest" that Zhao Weihong thought, but a tactical vest, also called a chest mount.
Scientific name, Type 81 rifle chest mount!
As the name suggests, this ammunition hanging was created together with the Type 81 automatic rifle and is a "matching" equipment.
However, although many people call the Type 81 chest mount a vest, such as the duty officer who just ordered the assembly.
But in fact, the Type 81 chest strap cannot be strictly considered a tactical vest, but more like an enlarged version of a bullet belt.
The large pocket on the front allows soldiers to carry four magazines.
The small pockets on the left and right sides can be used to store spare ammunition, grenades, or other small items.
The distribution of this thing means that the new recruits have one more piece of equipment to carry when taking the three-kilometer assessment.
However, this also means that the recruits are getting closer and closer to the live-fire shooting they have been longing for.
After getting the ammunition, Zhao Weihong did not go back to the dormitory directly, but stayed in the study room, quietly waiting for Wei Gang's arrival.
"Oh, are you all waiting impatiently?"
"Then I'll keep it short and give you more time to prepare."
Having said this, Wei Gang suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed outside the window.
That is the shooting range that the recruits have been longing for but have never been to.
"Over at the shooting range, the first company is already training."
"Next up is our company."
"Before we start training, I'm going to show you something. Make sure you remember it all!"
Zhao Weihong looked closely and saw Wei Gang taking out a golden bullet shell from his pocket!
"That's it, you all know it, right?"
"When we're shooting live ammunition, no one is allowed to worry about the dropped shells, and no one is allowed to pick them up and put them in their pockets!"
"Don't think you are so smart that you can hide it from us."
"I'm telling you straight out, the first thing we do when we come back from training is to search you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the recruit who had originally had some thoughts about the bullet shell immediately gave up the idea in his mind.
It was also the first time that Zhao Weihong heard of such a rule, and she couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
Originally, he also wanted to pick up a bullet shell and keep it as a souvenir.
Seeing Wei Gang say this, he had no choice but to give up this plan.
In fact, Zhao Weihong’s idea is also the idea of most of the recruits.
For almost all the recruits, it was the first time in their lives to touch a gun and even the first time to shoot at a target.
It is quite normal to want to keep the shell as a souvenir.
But it's a pity.
The recruits were destined to fail.
Putting aside the safety considerations, after all, there are only a few ruthless people who can hold the bullet casing and rub the bullet with their hands.
This is mainly because the bullets used by the 81 rifle are basically made of copper.
Although copper is not a precious metal, its price is not low.
Given the current difficult financial situation, it is imperative that the remaining shells be recycled and reused.
To put it bluntly, it’s because of poverty!
Then, Wei Gang talked about some safety precautions, and explained them in great detail.
Wei Gang is not a talkative person.
If it were any other subject, he wouldn't bother to talk so much about it.
But this is live ammunition shooting, and the magazine is filled with rifle bullets with extremely high lethality at close range!
Not to mention a real hit, even a slight graze could result in broken bones and tendons!
The matter is of great importance, Wei Gang has no choice but to be long-winded!
And besides this safety education is of little use.
The recruit barracks also have a somewhat rough method to reduce the possibility of accidents during live-fire shooting.
That is to prohibit some recruits from participating in live-fire shooting training.
For example, those recruits who are still identified as having unstable thoughts after long-term observation fall into this category.
This is not a distinction.
Service is not military training, and there is no regulation that requires all recruits to participate in live-fire shooting training.
Some soldiers have even been in the army for two years and haven’t even touched a gun!
The next company will be thrown to any corner, raising pigs when necessary and standing guard when necessary. In short, there must be something to do.
There are many unarmed positions in the army, which are specially prepared for such people.
However, the 347th Regiment is in good condition this year. The psychological qualities of the new recruits are very strong and all members can participate in live-fire shooting.
After finishing the instructions, Wei Gang took in the expressions on the faces of all the recruits and asked another question loudly.
"Anything else you want to ask?" "Report!"
Wei Gang looked very surprised, and was stunned for a while before answering.
"ask!"
"Captain, is there any reward for hitting the target with full rings?"
"I heard from others that anyone who can score a perfect score in live-fire shooting has a chance to win a third-class merit."
As soon as these words were spoken, the study room fell silent!
All the recruits were looking at Wei Gang nervously, eager to get his confirmation.
"Haha, you know a lot!"
Amid the expectant gazes of the new recruits, Wei Gang nodded slowly.
"That's right! Our group does have this saying!"
"You are lucky. This rule will probably be cancelled soon."
"You soldiers have caught up with us."
As soon as he finished speaking, the recruit who spoke earlier immediately asked anxiously.
"Captain, is this true?"
"A full ring equals a third-class merit?"
"There is hope of winning the third-class merit."
“Whether you can get it or not depends on the situation.”
"Why, if you were a second-time recruit, would you be awarded the third-class merit?"
"Do you think the third-class merit is as cheap as cabbage? Do you just give it out casually?"
"Hahahaha!"
Listening to Wei Gang's humorous metaphor, the study room suddenly erupted in laughter.
However, Zhao Weihong did not smile, but nodded slightly, as if thinking about something.
Before joining the army, Zhao Weihong had some knowledge of the honors in these troops, and had also seen Zhao Yuejin's first-class medal of honor with his own eyes.
It is precisely because I have seen it with my own eyes.
That's why Zhao Weihong always had a desire for a medal in her heart, no, a medal that belonged to her.
However, after arriving at the army, Zhao Weihong has been "walking on thin ice", fearing that he would be sent to raise pigs, so he suppressed this desire deep in his heart.
At this moment when the next connection is about to begin.
A way to obtain the medal suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Weihong.
Zhao Weihong said that she didn't want the third-class merit, but that was false.
But judging from Wei Gang's tone, getting a full score in live-fire shooting is definitely not an easy task.
And Zhao Weihong himself was unsure because he had never come across this subject before.
If he hadn't joined the army, Zhao Weihong would never have expected to touch a gun in his life, let alone shoot with live ammunition!
But no matter what, Zhao Weihong is going to give it a try.
After leaving the study room, Zhao Weihong returned to the dormitory, put the chest mount she had just received on the outside of her clothes, and began a short yet long wait.
After a moment, accompanied by a clear whistle.
Zhao Weihong followed the other recruits and ran down the stairs, lined up, and finally headed towards the shooting range.
"boom!"
"Boom!"
From a distance, Zhao Weihong could hear sporadic gunshots coming from the direction of the shooting range.
There was a pungent smell in the air, just like the lingering smell of gunpowder after every household set off firecrackers during the New Year, which inexplicably added a festive atmosphere.
It is very regrettable that Zhao Weihong cannot use his Type 81 rifle for shooting.
There is a calibrated Type 81 rifle placed at each shooting position on the shooting range. It is a firearm specially used for shooting training.
In addition, there is a safety officer, who is a cadre, standing next to each design position to avoid unexpected situations.
"One, two, thirty-five!"
"Okay, the fifteen of you will be the first group to conduct live ammunition shooting!"
"Remember, don't move around on the target. Put the gun down after you've fired the bullet. Stand up when the safety officer tells you to."
"Take it!"
Taking the magazine from Wei Gang, Zhao Weihong took a deliberate look at it.
There are finally bullets in the magazine, which emit a golden glow under the sunlight, which is intoxicating.
After stuffing the magazine into the chest mount, Zhao Weihong looked towards the shooting range again with a burning gaze.
"Let's go together!"
Under Wei Gang's guidance, Zhao Weihong went straight to his own shooting position No. 6.
"Prone position with bullets!"
After the command was given, Zhao Weihong lay down directly, took out the magazine from his chest mount, and loaded it on the unfamiliar Type 81 rifle in front of him.
Fortunately, the shooting range has specially prepared sponge mats for training.
Otherwise, crawling on the ground in such a cold weather would be very painful.
"beep!"
After a very dull warning tone, the security guard standing next to Zhao Weihong finally moved.
"You can start shooting now."
Hearing this, Zhao Weihong took a deep breath and used his thumb to move the safety pointer of the Type 0 rifle from "1" representing the locked state to "" representing the semi-automatic state.
Then, aim the gun!
At the queue, Shi Jidong looked at Zhao Weihong crawling on the ground, and suddenly asked Wei Gang for some unknown reason.
"Company commander."
"Do you think our company can produce a full-ring soldier this year?"
