CHAPTER XVII

The news of Parks' and Sifodi's test shooting attracted all the brothers of E Company. Even Lieutenant Winster and Captain Sauber knew, but neither of them intended to stop it. Winster didn't stop it because it was an activity for the brothers, a pleasure after training, and it didn't affect the unity between the brothers. Captain Sauber, on the other hand, hoped that through this contest, the brothers of Company E would be more attentive to their training, or that he would also want to start a competition in Company E, but it was just his idea.

The range was already full of people. Everyone was looking forward to watching the two.

"Brother Xifu, no matter who wins, you should invite the brothers to have a drink!" Parks joked, he knew that although it was a bet, if it broke his confidence, it would definitely not be a good thing for Sifodi to be on the battlefield in the future.

"Of course!" Sifudi smiled, a little shy. He was forced by a row of brothers, but since it was a bet, there was nothing to complain about, so it was a game of darts. He comforted himself in his heart, but his heart was beating a little faster.

"Eight bullets!" Goneri handed out the ammunition to the two men.

"Good job!" At this time, the shooting instructor was also yelling at Parks, who also participated in the bet. But judging from his experience, although Xifudi's marksmanship is very good, but after all, he has less experience, that Parkes is simply a natural killer, calm, decisive, and did not hesitate to shoot, why should he let go of such an opportunity to bet and make money?

Eight bullets, one target, no time to shoot, only one requirement, that is, who can hit the bull's-eye, who shoots first.

"Bang-" The shell tumbled rapidly in the air before landing on the ground. Sifudi was very satisfied with his first shot, which was a guarantee of confidence and hit the bull's-eye. There was a smile on his lips.

"Wow!" The audience burst into exclamations and applause.

Sifudi did not hesitate, then raised his hand and fired a second shot. Or hit the bull's-eye. Although there is a slight deviation, it has already shown that he has a very good level of shooting.

"Oh, Sifudi, that's great!" Most of the people who won by Xifudi were in the first row, and their applause resounded throughout the audience, such good marksmanship, even the people in the second row, were a little worried, because they basically pressed Parks, and it was 50 yuan, a month's salary, and what was worse was that Parks had not raised a gun yet.

"Parks, are you cowardly? Show your courage and don't be scared by Sifudi, you can do the same! Although Goneri had always had faith in Parks, the current situation had made him unable to sit still, and he shouted.

Sifodi looked at Parks confidently and realized that he was smiling at himself. But Parks' current situation is definitely not timid, but a confident smile.

"Bang!" "Bang" "Bang" "Bang"

One shot after another, although there was a gap, but it was also done in one go, and all four shots hit the bull's-eye. The brothers in the first row cheered, and now it seemed that Xifudi had basically won.

"Oh, oops!" White was also in a hurry, and he shouted "Parks, hurry!" ”

Parks nodded at him, smiled slightly, and raised his gun.

The target was right in front of him, and then quickly contracted into Parks's pupils, then magnified infinitely. This is a kind of will, as if he was fighting for his life again in the blood and fire of his previous life, the noise of the outside world gradually disappeared in his ears, and the whole world was only a gun, a target, and a bullet ready to fire in the chamber of the gun.

"Bang-"

It was as if the suppressed sound that had been waiting for a long time, the air being torn apart by bullets, and the crisp sound of bullets bouncing out.

Eight bullets, eight high-pitched whistling sounds.

"Ding-" The empty magazine bounced out, rolled in the air, and landed on the sand of the training ground.

Parks put away his gun, then looked at Sifodi with a smile.

"Wow-" The audience erupted in exclamation, followed by a storm of applause.

All eight rounds passed through the bull's-eye, hit the same place, and the first shot was the last, but it took 6 seconds, which is already the theoretical rate of fire of M1 Garand.

It was the shooting instructor who was timed, his mouth slightly open, and he took a breath of cold air. What kind of monster is this? There is such a level of shooting and speed. If it's not a freak, it's still learned to shoot from his mother's belly. But he absolutely didn't know that Parks had actually learned to shoot for many years in his previous life, and the shooting speed of the guns in later generations was definitely not comparable to that of M1.

"I lost!" Sifudi didn't look a little depressed, "If you want a monster like Parks, who else can compare to him?" So ......" Sifudi shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh—no, Parks!" Compton Buck covered his face with his hands in annoyance, "I thought you were just blinded when you shot a dart to win me. You monster, you caused me to lose 50 yuan again. ”

But the brothers in the row complained and complained, but they were willing to lose the bet, and they had to pay obediently.

"I'm sorry, I can't win!" Sifudi was a little embarrassed.

Compton Barker patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "We know you did your best." Who knew Parks was a monster? There was a burst of laughter.

Parks walked over and stretched out his hand to Sifodi, and the two shook each other: "Sifodi, you are also the best shooter I've ever seen!" "Parks, that's true.

Xifudi smiled embarrassedly: "You are even better!" ”

"If you knew how many years I've been in contact with shooting, you wouldn't be so surprised, it's nothing!" Although Parks's words were a bit comforting, they were definitely true, and it was the hellish practice of his previous life that made him what he is now.

Parks' reputation as a marksman has spread throughout the 506th Regiment with this competition, and apart from the brothers in the second platoon who have made a lot of money, Parks has no intention of being a big winner. Although the game was held in E Company, because of Parks' reputation for improving his training methods before, he had become a celebrity in the 506th Regiment, so this time he participated in the bet, in addition to E Company, many people from other companies also participated, so that Parks made a small fortune.

"It's yours, Parks!" Goneri walked into the barracks with a thick stack of bills.

"Oh-Parks, you make me jealous!" Caber, who was wiping his boots on the side, exclaimed exaggeratedly, the stack of bills looked like it should be thousands of dollars.

"It's really jealous." White smiled, looked at it with some envy, and then said to Kaber, "Karber, didn't you also win a hundred yuan?" What else is there to complain about. Enough for you to have some fun outside. ”

"That's my foresight!" Kaber wasn't embarrassed at all, "It's a good thing I didn't fall for you before. Let me try it against Parks? People will think I'm crazy. ”

"How much?" Parks took the bill and asked.

"Five thousand dollars!" Goneri smiled, then stuck out his tongue and added a lip, "That's a lot of money, isn't it?" ”

It was indeed a huge amount of money, and several people in the barracks gasped. You must know that their current monthly salary is only 50 yuan, which means that this is their salary for 100 months, which is equivalent to the sum of more than eight years' salary.

"You've made a fortune!" Although Kaber has already said that he is not jealous, but this sentence clearly has a bit of a sour taste when he says it, yes, it makes people crazy with jealousy.

"Why are there so many?" Parks looked at Goneri with some confusion.

"Hehe, you know, almost all the brothers of the 506th Regiment were involved. They don't know what you're capable of, they just want to see the guy who wants to improve his training methods make a fool of himself. Goneri smirked, "I can't imagine that our Parks could surprise them at any moment." ”

"Thank you!" Parks smiled, then asked.

"It's nothing, I've won quite a bit!" Goneri smiled.

"Brothers, this weekend, I asked for a beer from the town bar!" Parks happily raised the bill in his hand.

"Great!" White jumped up and stepped forward to hug Parks, but Parks dodged him.

"Hey, White, I'm not a girl!" Parks laughed and said, "Of course I can ask for beer, but it's not enough to find a girl, so you'd better bring your own wallet, or you'll be stripped naked and thrown out!" ”

Bursts of laughter rang out from inside the barracks.

The brothers of E Company are so happy, even in such intense training, they will always find their own fun. The officers, including Winster, Sauber, and Horton, all noticed Parks.

A good soldier of the 506th Regiment, who is not only able to improve his training methods, but is also a marksman, is definitely the most valuable asset in the team. But Parks didn't care what the impact of that day's race would be. This weekend, he and some of his brothers went to town to relax, have some beer, and find a girl or something.
