As for the problems with the Type 87, most of the soldiers in the unit responded that the magazines and barrels were defective, especially the first magazine made of engineering plastic, which was extremely fragile compared to the steel magazine of the Type 81-1 automatic rifle, and some companies had to reimburse more than a dozen magazines a day.

In any case, in the eyes of a veteran like Wen Zhixing, no matter whether the new gun is excellent or not, there is a feeling that he can't give up on the 81-1 style anyway.

"Not only do we need to change our guns, but we also say that we need to strengthen our electronic warfare equipment, and this military region has been blowing the wind for a long time in the past few years, saying that it is necessary to build a modern army, a digital army, and win local wars." The more Wen Zhixing spoke, the more frustrated he became, "Look at the new electronic countermeasures vehicles and communication vehicles on the communications battalion, as well as the electronic integrated command vehicles of the chief of staff, the ground artillery has begun to be equipped with new missiles, and some of the old artillery will be eliminated......

At this, the man fell silent.

After a long time, he said: "We are old antiques, and we don't know when we are going to change jobs......

Zhou Huping heard the sadness in Wen Zhixing's tone.

In the past few years, we have been talking about reform, reform.

In fact, this upgrade is also a kind of reform.

High-tech electronic, digitized, mechanized, and armored, these are the current direction of military reform, and even Zhou Huping, the squadron leader, has a feeling that the mountains and rains are about to come.

Phew-

A solemn fifth shot was fired.

Wen Zhixing glanced at it, and the target reporting rod was shaking from side to side.

Or 10 rings.

"Alright." Wen Zhixing said: "Let him participate in the training, and on the day of the whole division's competition, I will personally see if this kid can qualify." ”

With that, he turned and left.

Time flies.

The day of the big competition has finally come.

The night before the divisional contest, the night training of the entire teaching brigade was stopped, allowing the soldiers to move freely and recover their strength.

That night, everyone was preparing their gear for tomorrow.

The soldiers who participated in the shooting competition made a final correction of their guns that afternoon, then wiped them and put them in the gun cabinet and sealed them.

Early the next morning, the morning exercise was relatively simple, and after running for five kilometers, the whole squadron disbanded and prepared to sort out internal affairs.

At eight o'clock, the gate post began to change sentinels.

Because today it was the chief who came to watch the contest in person, the sentry who usually wears the 87 regular uniform today put on an entanglement costume, put on a white helmet, changed into a red picket epaulette with arrows, and changed into leather shoes, which looked much more energetic than usual.

The soldiers of the public service squad of the brigade headquarters did not have to go out for drills early in the morning, and marked the numbers and various boundaries with white lime powder in the large playground, shooting range, obstacle range, and so on.

The entire teaching brigade was immersed in an inexplicably tense atmosphere.

After breakfast, it was not yet time for the competition, but the top men of each infantry regiment arrived at the teaching team one after another, and the green military trucks with camouflage nets drove into the gate one after another, and then stopped in the open space in front of the brigade department.

On the car, a capable soldier jumped one after another, and judging from the vigorous movements of getting out of the car, he knew that he was not an ordinary soldier.

Among the cadets of each squadron, many of them were officers and comrades-in-arms of the old company, and of course they had to greet each other before the competition.

Solemnly and solemnly, he sat on the edge of the basketball court, sticking out his head and looking in the direction of the gate.

The 273rd Regiment is also coming today.

This means that maybe someone from Tiebalian will come over to participate in the competition.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Xingguo rushed behind the two of them, shouted and sat down.

solemnly noticed that Xu was holding a pair of shoes in his hand.

"Yo! New shoes are ready? ”

Xu Xingguo said: "This is the experience taught by veterans, and I can't help but listen to it. ”

Solemnly took the pair of shoes from his hand, and sure enough, they were a pair of liberation shoes that looked relatively new.

Flipping over the sole, I saw that the lines under the rubber sole had some wear.

Moreover, the shoes are washed and clean.

Xu Xingguo reported three items - 400-meter hurdles, bomb throwing, and apparatus gymnastics.

There is a trick to preparing these half-new shoes.

Because according to the experience of the veterans, the liberation shoes are the most suitable for running the 400-meter obstacle of all the shoes issued.

You can't run an obstacle course in a pair of Type 97 combat boots, which will slow your time by at least ten seconds.

You also can't run obstacles in a pair of camouflage shoes, as it has a thick rubber sole and is heavier than liberation shoes.

The most suitable can only be the most primitive liberation shoes, light and flexible.

Too old liberation shoes will slip and be easy to make mistakes, but it is not the best for a new pair of liberation shoes, because the sole of the new shoes is still relatively hard, and the canvas at the upper and heel is somewhat awkward, only after about half a month, the sole is worn out a small part, and then after washing, the canvas surface will be softer, more close to the feet, and more comfortable.

This is the best pair of 400-meter obstacle "running shoes", and it is also something that every jousting soldier must prepare.

Not only in the 400-meter hurdles, but also in shooting.

EXPERIENCED OFFICERS AND VETERANS ALIKE ARE AWARE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF BULLETS, AND SINCE MOST OF THE 7.62MM CALIBER RIFLE BULLETS WERE PRODUCED IN THE SIXTIES AND SEVENTIES, THERE ARE SUBTLE SURPRISES IN CRAFTSMANSHIP AND CHARGE.

There is nothing wrong with using such a bullet casually, but once it is an important moment like a martial arts competition, it must be strict to the extreme, otherwise even after the gun is corrected to the crosshair and illuminated the door, it will still be affected by the bullet and cause ballistic deviation.

The most direct way is to pick the bullets, screen the bullets on the first night of the competition, use the balance to pick out the bullets with the best weight consistency, and distribute them to the top players the next day during the competition, so as to ensure the accuracy of shooting to a certain extent.

And then there's the bomb dropping. There are tricks to throwing bombs, too. Because the trainer bullet of the Type 67 grenade is used, there is a small difference in the wooden handle of the trainer bullet, and there is also a small difference in weight.

In the competition, a whole box of grenades is placed next to the throwing line, and then you take three of them, throw them three times, and take the highest score to calculate.

Therefore, when an experienced veteran picks a grenade, he will carefully weigh each grenade in the box and choose the lightest grenade that feels the best for throwing it.

Don't underestimate these tips and lessons, a gram or two of weight can often change the outcome of a match at a critical moment, so everyone will use their wisdom to adjust their form and equipment to the extreme.

smiled seriously and said: "Lao Xu, you have participated in the most projects today, Zhuang Yan and I only reported shooting, and you alone reported three items, which is too ruthless!" ”

Xu Xingguo said proudly: "Only by casting a wide net will you catch a fish." ”

He turned his head to look at Zhuang Zhuang and said, "Lao Zhuang, it's a pity for you, if you hadn't injured your hand, you would definitely have won two top gold medals." ”

solemnly knows Xu Xingguo's strength, except for Xu Xingguo, who is not sure to reach the top level in shooting, the rest of the 400-meter obstacles, bomb throwing, and equipment have basically reached the top level.

Among them, equipment is the weakness of a strength soldier like Xu Xingguo, and bomb throwing is his strongest point.

As early as the time of the Iron Eighth Company, Xu Xingguo was able to throw bombs stronger than the veterans of ordinary companies, and after teaching the team for so long, Xu Xingguo had already become outstanding after intensive training.

Now, it's easy for him to throw a grenade for almost 70 meters.

"Look! Is that the car of our company? ”

Liu Ruiyong pointed to the gate and shouted.

Solemnly raising his head, a military vehicle drove past the asphalt road next to the basketball court, and a familiar figure stood next to the tailgate of the car.

Yin Xiancong!

It's a squad leader here!
