Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Feeling of a Real Gun
That morning, Chen Hansheng had just picked up the stave before class and was reading it silently when he suddenly sounded the whistle for an emergency assembly.
Chen Hansheng hurriedly stood with the recruits and listened to the leader's schedule with his thoughts.
Company Commander Dai issued an order, the recruits are in the fourth platoon, and today they will go to the 57th cadre school for rotation training!
After hearing this exciting news, the recruits of the entire fourth platoon became excited.
The so-called rotation training is actually to take turns training to shoot guns, aim and throw bombs. Because the recruits did not have real guns yet, and the number of them at the 57 cadre school was limited, this training could only be carried out in rotation one platoon after another.
As a recruit, the hope of seeing real guns has been a good wish for a long time, even when I signed up for the army, but it is really not so easy to realize this wish. Prior to this, the recruits of the other platoons had already taken turns to train and conduct real live firing.
Chen Hansheng's yearning for guns is not now, but when he was very young. At that time, he hoped to have a gun in his hand, even if it was a wooden gun, which would give him great satisfaction. A child's toy gun, although it is not a bullet, but an artillery, can also make him feel like a real gun. After watching the movie "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", Chen Hansheng has a strong yearning for guns, especially real guns, but due to conditions, he not only failed to have that experience of real guns, but also didn't even have a chance to take a look.
When the second uncle was a soldier, Chen Hansheng often asked the second uncle why he didn't bring the gun back for him to see. The second uncle always lied to him and said that he would come back next year to take him to see it, but he didn't do it once. In the end, the second uncle had to explain to him, saying that the army has strict discipline, and under normal circumstances, it is not allowed to bring a gun back to the house. Chen Hansheng died of the thought of seeing the real gun.
When Chen Hansheng dropped out of school, he also saw people passing in front of him with real guns on their backs, but those people all looked serious, Chen Hansheng didn't even dare to ask, where did he dare to touch the real gun?
Chen Hansheng is a recruit in the fourth platoon of this recruit company, so he can only wait until today. As early as when another platoon went to the cadre school for rotation training, Chen Hansheng couldn't wait to turn himself into a recruit in that platoon. After hearing the news of those recruits' training and target shooting, he couldn't stand it.
Chen Hansheng just now was still immersed in the beauty of the new violin solo piece, and in an instant, he no longer thought about the beautiful music, but was in a new excitement. The long-term hope for real guns has always made him suppress this excitement and anticipation, and now, this opportunity has finally come!
From the recruit company to the 57th cadre school, it is almost more than half an hour to walk. The recruits of the entire platoon were taking hurried steps, eager to grow wings, and flew to the Fifth Seventh Cadre School at once, and immediately saw the real guns.
There is not only a military training base for shooting and bombing, but also a bathhouse. On Sundays, the army often organizes recruits to go there to take a bath, but that kind of trip cannot be compared with today's trip.
The 57 cadre school has finally arrived!
The platoon commander shouted and stood up, and the recruits of the entire platoon were suddenly fixed there in a long block, like a row of puppets.
The platoon commander then shouted "stand upright," and the recruits in the platoon held their heads high. The platoon commander shouted again, "Look to the right, Qi!" and the entire recruits looked to the right one by one. The platoon commander then shouted for a break, and all the recruits took a break according to the regulations.
The platoon commander then said to the recruits in the platoon, "This week is our training time for shooting and bomb throwing, and I hope that you will not be afraid of hardships, practice the best shooting and bomb throwing results in the whole company, and repay the recruit company and yourself! Do you have confidence?"
"Yes!" the whole platoon responded in a very unanimous manner.
"Then let's start preparing to receive the gun!"
The platoon commander then took all the recruits to a warehouse and began firing guns.
Although he knew that there would be no bullets in the guns on the gun rack, the platoon commander still asked the squad leaders to conduct a safety inspection of the guns before giving the real guns to the recruits.
When a gun was issued to Chen Hansheng, Chen Hansheng almost did not pick it up, but grabbed it, as if the gun was rare, and if he didn't grab it, it wouldn't be his turn.
After Chen Hansheng grabbed the gun, his eyes were staring at the gun. The gun was heavy and shiny, black and yellow, and the sharp bayonet was dazzlingly white. It was as if he was in a dream, and he didn't even believe that he had actually gotten a real gun.
After all the recruits got the real guns, everyone thought that the platoon commander would take everyone to the training ground for training, but the platoon commander asked the whole platoon of recruits to gather in a large conference room, and then gave a knowledge lesson to all the recruits, and told everyone that this is a Type 95 semi-automatic rifle.
Then, the platoon commander called a squad leader to teach everyone the relevant knowledge of unloading and wiping guns.
After going through these processes, the platoon commander took the team to a training ground. Everyone thought that this time it was time for shooting training. Unexpectedly, the platoon commander asked a squad leader to teach everyone how to shoulder the gun and collect the gun. It is said that it is very simple to carry the gun on your back and put the gun down, but as a well-trained soldier, this detail must also be done very neatly and neatly, without the slightest looseness. Each of these actions is not the kind of casualness of ordinary people, but has strict normative requirements.
That's all that takes up a morning of training.
In the afternoon, the whole platoon began shooting training. After the platoon commander lay down, the whole platoon of recruits lay down in a piece of the ground, and then began to start endless training with empty guns aiming at the target in accordance with the training requirements of three lines and one pair of notch aiming at the target.
Because there is no bullet, when the machine is moved, the rifle does not have any recoil, and there is no earth-shattering bullet boring sound, the shooting sound is actually a slight sound of an empty latch boring, and there is no excitement of real gun shooting.
Soon, everyone felt mentally exhausted, even a little tired, and didn't want to do this kind of repeated and meaningless reproduction aiming anymore.
Chen Hansheng was full of confidence at first, but after two days of training, he was also a little lazy. He even felt that the real gun that had excited him was not a real gun, but just a toy gun.
The platoon commander saw everyone's laziness, and he began to check one by one, and found that anyone was not serious, or his thoughts were deserted, so he directly criticized them by name.
Despite this, the laziness of the recruits was inevitable, and some even dozed off on the training ground.
The platoon commander felt that this was not a solution, so he came up with a new idea, and put it in the later stage of bomb throwing training, intervened in advance, and then one day of shooting training and one day of bombing training.
Compared with shooting training without live ammunition, bomb throwing training obviously has a certain amount of stimulation. Although during the training, the soldier threw not a real grenade, but the feeling of throwing it out was much more real than the feeling of boring with an empty latch, and the result of throwing it can be regarded as the projection of a real bullet. Therefore, some recruits even feel that this kind of bomb throwing training is more realistic than the kind of shooting training with air latch and boring.
However, bomb throwing training is not a good errand, and before the day comes, many recruits feel pain in their right hand as if they can't move, or even have no strength to throw out that kind of fake grenade anymore.
Chen Hansheng is naturally no exception, but if others are insisting, he has to insist. Moreover, when others did not insist, he continued to insist. Whether as a recruit or as a fighter ready to go into battle, he wanted to develop a little skill.
It was so tiring that everyone thought that the shooting training was easier, but the boredom of the shooting training quickly made everyone mentally tired.
While keeping an eye on it, the platoon commander released a signal to everyone, "In three days, we will have a real live-fire and bomb throwing assessment, and if we don't hurry up the time to train, we will definitely not come up with a good result at that time!"
I heard that I was going to come to Zhenge in three days, and everyone no longer dared to slack off and train hard. Shooting training is no longer a requirement for aiming, but also a requirement for correct posture and the presentation of endurance. Bomb throwing training is no longer a test of physical strength, but also a long-range scientific decision-making.
Three days later, Chen Hansheng entered the scene of live firing with the entire platoon.
For each recruit, six bullets.
Chen Hansheng didn't want to waste those six hard-won bullets.
The first real shooting really made Chen Hansheng a little nervous, but Chen Hansheng didn't want to make a mistake because of nervousness, he regarded this live shooting as a live shooting on the battlefield, and the target he aimed at was no longer the dead target during the usual training, but an enemy who seemed to be able to escape at any time.
When he was lying down, Chen Hansheng even said to his gun in his heart, "Gun! I want to destroy six enemies today, and it's all up to you!"
Because it was not the target that was aiming, but the enemy, Chen Hansheng was very serious and careful, and after he locked on to the target in a hurry, he held his breath and slowly pulled the moving machine.
There was a gunshot and the bullets flew out.
Chen Hansheng's shoulder received a real blow, and it even hurt a little. Chen Hansheng also thought about the impact of the recoil of the gun on shooting, but he did not expect that the recoil of the gun would be so strong.
Chen Hansheng has feelings.
After the gunshots rang out, the target on the opposite side withdrew, and the target reporter stuck out his head and began to speak: Seven rings!
Chen Hansheng's heart was cold when he heard this. Thankfully, he hasn't missed the target yet. If he runs the target, Chen Hansheng will be even more nervous.
Chen Hansheng knew that it was because he didn't notice the effect of recoil and didn't put the butt of the gun on it.
Chen Hansheng noticed this very much when the next bullet was fired.
As expected, Chen Hansheng's second shot hit a nine ring!
Immediately afterwards, Chen Hansheng hit another nine rings!
In the fourth shot, Chen Hansheng was in a hurry, but he only hit the eight rings.
In the fifth shot, Chen Hansheng was hit by another nine rings.
The last shot, Chen Hansheng felt that he had to grasp it well, and whether he could achieve good results depended on this shot.
Chen Hansheng looked at the target, looked and looked, and after making sure that he had found the feeling, he held his breath and slowly picked the moving machine, not letting the gun change in any way in the process, and in the end, with a little force, the bullet flew out of his gun boring.
The target announcer stuck out his head and shouted happily: Ten rings!
Chen Hansheng almost fainted.
The results came out, and Chen Hansheng won the second place in the whole platoon of recruits!
The overall score of the whole volleyball is the first in a row!
In other words, Chen Hansheng competed for the second place in the whole company!
On that special evening, Chen Hansheng and the whole platoon of recruits walked from the 57th Cadre School to the recruit company with their achievements.
The platoon commander was in a good mood and led the singing of "Return from Target Shooting" in the middle of the road.
Sunset, red glow flies in the west mountains
The soldier shoots the target and returns the battalion to the battalion
The red flower on the chest reflects the rainbow glow
Pleasant singing was flying all over the sky
Mi Bang La Mi Bang
Pull the instigator to snatch it
Pleasant singing was flying all over the sky
The song flew to Beijing
Chairman Mao was overjoyed when he heard this
Praise us for singing well
Praise us for being the first in marksmanship
Mi Bang La Mi Bang
Pull the instigator to snatch it
Praise us for being the first in marksmanship
One, two, three, four!
This song gave Chen Hansheng a very strong impression, and it was even unforgettable for a lifetime. The sense of pride he felt at that time was as if he had really met Chairman Mao and seen Chairman Mao's praise for him.
But in the next bomb throwing assessment, Chen Hansheng's results were not ideal, and he was even a little sorry for others, he took the ninth from the bottom of the whole company!
Although Chen Hansheng knew that his physical activity was not as good as others, he did not expect this result.
The results of one good and one bad made Chen Hansheng both glorious and embarrassed.
"It's pretty good!" Instructor Gao saw Chen Hansheng's mentality and said, "If you can get second in the whole company in shooting, you may be able to catch up in other aspects in the future! Besides, there are gains and losses in everything, and you may work very hard in this area, but you will not do enough in that aspect!"
Instructor Gao's words once again made Chen Hansheng feel warm and made him have stronger confidence in the life of the army.
