Chapter 69: Feminism 2
The medical team's live-fire assessment was scheduled for noon on the third day.
Xu Shiyang ordered a row of life-size wooden targets to be erected outside the east wall of Fort 153, with some monster images with teeth and claws on them (Xu Shiyang would not say that he painted a tartar, but no one else could tell that this was actually a person).
Eight girls stood ten paces away from the target, talking to each other, not knowing what they were talking about.
Occasionally, there was a burst of laughter like a silver bell.
Xu Shiyang frowned when he looked at it, not to mention anything else, only in terms of military discipline, it was not qualified at all.
Of course, these girls have never experienced real military training at all, everything is self-taught, and there is really no need to be too demanding.
There are now 12 people in the medical team, but 4 girls are unwilling to participate in today's assessment because of shyness or something else, and they have already been out of the game early.
There are 8 people left, including Zhao Shan and Zhao Lin's sisters, who are going to use a training gun made of bamboo today (I have to say, if you just load training, fine bamboo can indeed make do) to do five simulated reloads, and use time to calculate the reloading results.
Then use the stock musket to shoot once with live ammunition, and finally the musket is maintained and put into storage.
Although small in number, the medical team may be the first full-fledged female unit in the world (at least in the worldview of the Dockfort people), and many people are busy and come to see what is new, including the new soldiers in between trainings.
Maybe the whispers of the female soldiers have something to do with them?
This kind of lively scene of watching each other is as eye-catching as the women's basketball game in the middle school in the previous life, but Xu Shiyang is a little worried, after all, what they have to use in the end is a weapon that can really kill people, not basketball.
"Alright, focus!"
Today, Xu Da is responsible for shouting the password.
"Ten breaths of time, it must be reloaded!"
This is Xu Shiyang's standard for male soldiers, and it is rare to really go to the battlefield to make a discount.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Lin stood on the far left side of the female soldier team, at first she was also whispering to the little sisters about which musketeer was the best-looking, and when she heard Xu Da's command, she immediately abandoned all distractions, learned the posture from the male soldiers, and stood with her head raised and chest upright.
Zhao Lin didn't know what the point of doing this was, but Xu Shiyang had a paranoid request for this, and he won the Tartar, so Zhao Lin believed that it made sense.
The mouth of the bamboo tube with a wooden stick is tilted upward, first pour a small pinch of fine sand into the mouth of the bamboo tube at the end of the tube, then pour more fine sand into the mouth of the bamboo tube, put in a small pebble, and gently press it twice with a wooden stick.
Finished, the whole process took no more than 8 breaths, which can be described as quite fast - in fact, on par with the average score of the new musketeers.
The other girls were fast and slow, and the slowest one took almost 15 breaths, and Zhao Shan belonged to the middle level among the female soldiers.
"Check the loading." Xu Shiyang couldn't help but interject and ordered.
"Yes!" Xu Dalang replied, and Xu Shiyang clearly saw that there were a few girls in the queue looking at him with starry eyes - honest, strong and reliable boys, who seemed to be quite popular in this era.
The results of the inspection were satisfactory, and all the female soldiers were reloaded correctly.
"Clean the chamber and do it again." Xu Shiyang commanded loudly.
"Yes!" Only Xu Da replied in the same volume.
The female soldiers completed three reloads, and the average speed was slower than that of the new musketeers, but the reload accuracy was slightly higher than that of the male soldiers, and the difference between the two was not large, and the results seemed to depend entirely on the seriousness of the training.
"It's okay." Xu Shiyang nodded imperceptibly, and said to himself: "There is a lack of confrontation training in a real combat environment, but this is not easy to do, and they can't be blamed." ”
Perhaps, it is really time to try to form a combat female soldier unit?
Woohoo!
"Ahhh
The assessment scene suddenly became noisy, and Xu Shiyang looked around, and it turned out to be the live-fire session.
When the fire was fired, the screams of the girls rang out at the same time as the gunshots, which was extremely harsh, and many onlookers of the New Army soldiers could not help but cover their ears.
Many girls can't help but close their eyes when the fire rope between the snake pole touches the fire door, so the bullets naturally fly everywhere, and very few of them hit the target.
Fortunately, these girls are not messed up to the point of turning around and shooting the crowd behind, and the muzzles of the guns are still roughly facing the front and the sky.
After a round of shooting, the assessment officially ended, and Xu Shiyang waved his hand to stop Xu Da's step-by-step report of the number of hits - no need to ask, even if it was only ten steps away, the result was miserable.
Xu Shiyang motioned to Xu Da to quickly take away the snake pole fire rifle that was still smoking in the hands of the female soldiers, and came to the target by himself, looking at them one by one.
"Shanshan." In public, he likes to call his concubines in the way of the afterlife: "Wait a while, you can count and see which of them is willing to join the army now, I can give them the treatment of the new army, but I will also require them according to the standards of the new army." ”
True equality between men and women is a double equality of rights and duties, which is especially easy to achieve on the battlefield - between life and death, the enemy will not show mercy because you are a woman.
"Yes, I'll ask after I finish my work today." Zhao Shan replied softly.
"Don't participate." Xu Shiyang whispered.
"Huh? Why? Zhao Shan asked suspiciously: "Husband doesn't like it?" ”
"No, the point is that your character is not suitable for battle." Xu Shiyang looked at the girls who had returned to the state of chattering, and slowly explained: "Actually, they are not suitable for the battlefield, but now that the situation is ......, they are helpless and can only rely on themselves." But you are different, you are my woman, I will protect you. ”
"Yes. I listen to my husband. Zhao Shan lowered her head, her face flushed.
In her opinion, Xu Shiyang seemed to be talking about love in front of the public just now.
It's a shame.
At this time, Xu Shiyang walked to the last target and unexpectedly saw that there was a round hole with a size of ten millimeters on behalf of the target's torso.
Someone made a hit?
Xu Shiyang turned around violently and saw Zhao Lin pouting, and reluctantly handed the musket in his hand to Xu Da.
From where she was standing, she should have shot at this target.
"Maybe ......, not all girls are unsuitable for the battlefield?" Xu Shiyang muttered to himself.
"Husband, what did you say?" The voice was very small, and Zhao Shan didn't hear it clearly.
"Castle Master! Castle Master! ”
An anxious call was heard in the distance, disrupting the conversation between the couple.
"What's the matter?" Xu Shiyang asked puzzled.
"The castle lord is in a bad situation!" Xie Zhen ran to Xu Shiyang in a panic, and shouted out out of breath: "Something happened to the fleet!" ”
"Something happened to the fleet that went to Jiangnan to buy grain!"
"What did you say!?"
