Colonel Bogwei impromptu to open a sniper training course for the second-year students of the Bathton Military Academy in advance, although the time span is only half of that of the third-year students, the intensity and requirements have not been reduced. After three days, only 5 of the 260 trainees were able to make it to the end. Fifty saves one, the difficulty of training can be imagined!

Weiss and Babyface were eliminated in their first training session after passing the initial test, so that they missed most of the sniper course, which is not a bad thing in the long run. The two people who were not very good in reputation were regarded as "chivalrous and courageous classmates" by the students of the same level after this battle, and they sneaked into the woods, accurately raided the "prisoner of war camp", and killed the enemy's "commander" The battle example, and even the instructor of the tactical course cited it as a classic, the image and reputation of the two have been greatly improved, and the students of "black to fan" and "road to fan" are very numerous......

The monotonous but not boring life of the military academy continues in the beat of day after day, week after week. Unconsciously, Weiss has developed muscles, arm strength, waist strength, leg and foot strength have improved significantly, and the level of archery, riding, and fighting skills has also steadily improved. In the phased assessment, he got an excellent grade in half of the subjects, and the rest were basically inferior, and his comprehensive score entered the top 50 - if the impact of the pre-examination is excluded, he can already squeeze into the top 30 and become the top student among the students in the same period.

As for Nicholas Leboyd, who showed his real strength, this stage exam was even more of a big kill, leaving those arrogant students behind one by one, and got an extremely astonishing eight excellent and three inferior grades, and the comprehensive score ranked among the top four, second only to the three most outstanding students in the same period: one is student No. 179 Lune Schmidt who got nine excellent and two inferior students, and the other is student No. 83 Joffen Grund, who got ten excellent and one second, The other is Otto Lunders, the No. 15 student who almost finished with a full honor.

Among the top three scholars, Weiss has crossed paths with Otto Lunders and Luhn Schmidt. The "mighty" Otto Rundes not only had outstanding academic results, but his words and deeds were widely recognized, and his prestige among the colleges of his level was quite high, and he faintly had the demeanor of a cadet leader. As for Lune-Schmidt, Weiss has received his help, and he seems to have a good relationship with the baby-faced brother, Weiss pays a lot of attention to him, and after learning that this strongman is a general, his ancestors have produced infantry generals, cavalry generals, artillery generals, and even a strongman who has been the chief of the army staff, and such a guy with military genes in his bones, it is said that he can play with guns and swords before he learns to walk, and he is one of the last five cadets in Colonel Borgwein's sniper training course.

At the Bathton Military Academy, the cadet number is randomly assigned by the school before the start of the school year, so it is possible that the cow man is lined up with several weak chickens, and the weak chicken may also be sandwiched between a group of cow people. After passing two tests, Weiss found himself lucky enough to fall into the former category: whether it was a five-man or ten-man formation, he was always grouped with Luen-Schmidt, and Lune-Schmidt always took on the role of team leader. The team leader's accurate judgment and proper command are very beneficial to the performance of the whole team, which also gives the "newcomer" Weiss a good learning and adaptation period......

With the rolling spring thunder resounding in the sky, the long winter has finally come to an end. As the snow melts and the mountains begin to change their green uniforms, the Oldrunk Valley, where the Barston Military Academy is located, offers a very different landscape.

It's a pity that on this sunny and warm day of spring breeze, the students can't have a spring trip that just goes. Under the watchful eyes of the instructors and inspectors, they dragged out a large cannon and a whole box of training ammunition from the dim and cold warehouse, and then organized into an artillery team of 20 people, and the task was to transport these guns and ammunition to a field shooting range more than 40 kilometers away by means of human towing and pushing the top, and bombarding the designated target from the designated gun position until it was destroyed.

When the lead instructor, Captain Figlein, used his ugly tin megaphone to announce the mission and the rules, only a small number of the cadets on standby seemed to have a clear understanding of the difficulty of the trip, and Weiss was one of them. With a solid foundation in mathematics, physics and chemistry when he was a student, he quickly estimated the situation from a technical point of view: these 15PIR (about 75 mm) caliber guns in front of him were not the active models of the Ulster Free Federal Army, but the antique goods of the previous generation, and their weight was more than twice that of the high-level rapid-fire guns of the same caliber in service. If you don't kill the target after running out of ammo, you'll have to turn back and carry it again!

Furthermore, from a philosophical point of view, since the time span set by the school for this comprehensive training is two full days, it is definitely not easy to achieve the training goal, and there should be hidden tasks beyond the superficial goal, such as being a competent squad leader......

"Is this still up for discussion? Luen-Schmidt, of course! Who better to be the commander of our squad than the third place in the general examination? The words of student number 171 are in line with most people's thoughts. In the absolute merit of the Baston Military Academy, in such a temporary team, what is more convincing than grades?

"In terms of results, we are convinced by Lune Schmidt, but we still have some concerns, after all, this is the first time we have conducted live fire in artillery since we entered the second grade, and the training results are directly included in the comprehensive results of the artillery course, with a weight of 10%......" The next is student No. 163, he is a good guy among the ten students from 161 to 170, but the 11th ranking of students in the same period cannot compete with a student like Lune Schmidt, and in terms of appearance and temperament, He is also far from Lune-Schmidt.

Cadet No. 178, a strong man in the same room as Weiss, said in a loud voice: "Don't worry, whether it is tactical training as a cavalry squad or building fortifications as an infantry squad, our final results are the best." So, follow us, and we won't let you suffer! ”

At this time, Lune-Schmidt spoke: "Everyone, the results are not everything, not to mention that my gunnery results are not the best. I have a proposal, since the student who scored first in the single item of the artillery course is also on our team, for the sake of fairness, we have a vote, how about it? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their eyes to Weiss. Since the beginning of the pre-examination for all subjects, this guy has received the attention and favor of the "head coach" of the artillery subject. Whether it was ordinary artillery training or staged assessments, Weiss's calculations and operations were taken as models, and he was repeatedly praised by the artillery officer.

Looking up and seeing the handsome mixed-race guy looking at him with a smile, Weiss scratched his head: "I think the vote is still over, there is no need to delay this time, you see, the other teams have already started to act." ”

Everyone's eyes quickly moved away from Weiss, and the thing sighed quietly, he didn't want to get a chance to prove his leadership, but his current little bit was still not enough, and Lune-Schmidt's near-perfect performance was like a towering mountain, which made him feel an insurmountable psychological pressure.

"Well, guys, since our number one gunnery expert has made a humble decision, if you don't have any objections, how about I be the squad commander of this gunnery training?"

The "handsome half-breed guy" with a pair of beautiful dimples glanced around with his refined and intelligent eyes, and when he saw that no one stood up to challenge his prestige as a scholar, he said in the tone of a commander: "Everyone, the artillery assigned to us should be familiar to everyone, its combat weight is 4,500 pounds, which is almost equivalent to the weight of 20 of us combined. On a flat, hard road, seven or eight people were enough to propel it forward, but the road to the field shooting range was rough and difficult, and the season was exceptionally humid right now, so many times we had to put in at least fifteen or sixteen people. The training shells are four rounds in a box, each box should weigh about 180 pounds, and the power of the training shells is only about one-third of that of normal shells. ”

Speaking of which, Lune looked at Weiss and said in a consultative tone, "Sixteen training rounds should be enough, right?" ”

Weiss hesitated for a moment: "If possible, we'd better bring an extra box, in that case, everyone will have a chance to aim and shoot, and after everyone has finished aiming, I will use my method to calibrate it once to try to ensure the accuracy of the shot." ”

Luan stared at him for two seconds, then laughed, "Well, you do think more than I do in some details. Good! We sent five people each with a box of training ammunition, and each person fired at least one live ammunition, regardless of whether the mission was completed or not. In the process of marching and shooting, no matter what kind of difficulties or troubles we encounter, we must work together to deal with them, what do you think? ”

A few familiar students replied, "No problem," while the rest were silent.

Luan furrowed his brows and said in a calm and sophisticated tone: "When we got the admission letter from the Bathton Military Academy, each of us felt that the road ahead was full of light, and we felt that we would become a great character, a great hero like General Castillier, but everyone, it is impossible for any army to have only generals and no officers and soldiers, even if it is an excellent graduate of the Bathton Military Academy, after entering the army, you have to start from a low-level position. You will have to go through different roles, whether you are a staff officer at the regimental headquarters, a liaison officer with a general, or an officer with an infantry company, so that you can gain experience and move forward. Today, if you fail to become the commander of an artillery squad, it does not mean that you are a loser, nor does it mean that you have missed the opportunity to realize your dreams. Today, you obey my command and obey my arrangement, and tomorrow, as long as you perform well enough, I will also obey your command and obey your arrangement. ”

After hearing these words, Weiss suddenly realized that this guy's demeanor and tone of judging the situation, as well as the maturity and calmness shown by his words and deeds, are all qualities and abilities that a good commander should have! Well, you should study hard and study hard!

The students looked at each other, and they all understood the truth, but with their mentality, the most difficult thing to do was to let go of that competitive heart and willingly obey the command and dispatch of a peer.

At this time, Weiss decisively broke the silence: "Ladies and gentlemen, I think Lune is right, each of us has lofty ideals, but none of us can reach the end in one step. If you want to succeed, you must let go of the arrogance and unwillingness in your heart, and take every step of the way steadily. In that case, sooner or later, we will find the extraordinary self on the road of life! ”

When the words fell, Weiss found that everyone looked at him in surprise, and that look was definitely a state that would only be seen when he saw something else.

This thing seems to be casual on the surface, but his heart is already high: in the literary and artistic world, we are the best at engaging in military affairs; In military circles, we are the best at engaging in literature and art. Cross-border people, the performance is so bullish......
