"Hurry up, don't ink, don't tell me that mental arithmetic is the aimer or the gunner, the artillery reconnaissance needs to be mastered."

"As an artilleryman, mental arithmetic is the most basic, even if there is a computer now, the basic ability cannot be lost."

"The computer will be broken, it will run out of power, it will be interfered with, and only relying on yourself on the battlefield is the safest way, even if it is the most advanced 181 vehicle-mounted 155 gun, you can adjust the gun with one key according to UAV and Beidou information, and you can't forget your roots, and you must prepare for the most difficult war environment."

"We are the same in the Yuanhuo Battalion, and we must not forget our roots."

Xi Minghui yelled and urged, and all the veterans of the second squad were in place, all the same as Chen Ming, holding a blue bookclip in his hand, and looking up at the squad leader.

A group of veterans stalked their heads, looking unconvinced, they wanted to compare with Chen Ming, even if they couldn't fight the war, they couldn't admit it if they couldn't compare their physical fitness.

If the skills of the artillery can't be compared, it will be really shameless.

"Let's start with a simple set of mental arithmetic, prepare, 39856-28562 = how much?"

“11294”

As soon as Xi Minghui's words fell, a group of veterans in the second class almost did not hesitate, and shouted the answer at the same time, Chen Ming was also among them, and simple questions could not test their ability at all.

Wang Shuaibing sat in the crowd, his head was about to press into the crotch of his pants, others couldn't measure the specific ability, he really couldn't figure out the final answer.

When he first came into contact with mental arithmetic, even if he was given a computer, it was not as fast as a veteran, because the kung fu of pressing the keys was finished.

Fortunately, because he was a recruit, Xi Minghui did not embarrass him, but set his eyes on Chen Ming, nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then it seems that the difficulty will continue to increase."

"Listen, 453 + 239 + 21 + 7 + 586 + 234 + 789 + 23 + 256 + 134 + 111 + 268 + 497 + 369 + 113 = how much?"

“4100。” Chen Ming took the lead in raising the A4 paper in his hand.

"Go on."

“6356。” Chen Ming was the first to hold up the answer.

“2849。” Chen Ming held up the answer again.

“5781。” Chen Ming held up the answer again.

More than a dozen groups in a row, during which Xi Minghui adjusted many times, the most one rolled plus and minus, shouting 20 sets of numbers, the long-range fire battalion is not a short-range artillery battalion after all, and the requirements for mastering mental arithmetic are not high.

The CPUs of a group of veterans are almost scrapped, and no one is stunned to exceed Chen Ming's speed, and he is preempted every time, and he even cares too much about time.

As a result, the state of the veterans collapsed, and the next few calculations were confused, and the answers were varied.

In the end, several veterans of the second class couldn't bear it anymore and raised their hands in protest.

"Squad leader, I got it, I took it, I don't compare, I can't sleep tonight, it's time to dream of numbers again."

"I don't compare, this is training new comrades, it's just new comrades giving us lessons."

"Haha, now you know how I feel." Class deputy Feng Xiaodong smiled helplessly.

Chen Ming's performance has exceeded their cognition, when they didn't come to the second battalion before, even if they saw the fastest soldiers, they were not so exaggerated, almost as soon as the question came out, the answer came out.

is like Feng Xiaodong, who has never understood trigonometric functions since he was a child, and since he entered the artillery camp, it has been less than three weeks, and he has been tidy.

In this way, it can't be compared with a natural mental arithmetic master like Chen Ming.

That's right, all the veterans of the second class, I have to admit that Chen Ming is the kind of person who is naturally suitable to be an artilleryman, and the idea of competition just now has almost been extinguished.

"Look at your little bit of work." Xi Minghui scolded with a smile: "Okay, if you don't practice, you won't practice, it was originally for tomorrow's competition, accompany Chen Ming to try it."

"Since Chen Ming has no problem, you just follow the old rules, squat slowly, stump once, squat for half an hour to refresh yourself, and then lift your abdomen for five minutes."

"Let's go."

"That, Chen Ming, you come out."

"Yes."

A group of veterans raised their heads and stared at Chen Ming with resentment, mainly because they were wronged, no one in the second class planned to compete for the dragon and tiger list, they could practice or not.

At the beginning, the original intention was to cooperate with Chen Ming, but at the end of the practice, the person who cooperated was punished.

Faced with this situation, Chen Ming could only put down the bookcase in his hand with a dry smile and strode out of the dormitory.

Come to the hallway outside the dormitory.

Xi Minghui pursed his lips and smiled, his expression full of appreciation: "Chen Ming."

"Here."

"Well, you should have seen it in the past two days, the second battalion has suspended its daily training, and the comrades who want to compete for the dragon and tiger list are training hard, and being a soldier is to be a good soldier, which is understandable."

"I haven't mentioned this competition to you before, I thought you wouldn't participate, at least not this year, but I didn't expect your ability to be quite strong, maybe you really have a chance to compete for the Dragon and Tiger List."

"Because the second battalion of this competition has only been held once, there are not many subjects, and the mental arithmetic just now is one of the small links, and there is a simulated shooting and simulated confrontation behind, in short, all subjects are related to memory, physical strength, and endurance."

"You get ready, this competition is not a recruit assessment, your opponents are almost all non-commissioned officers, the third phase is the norm, there are no privates, there are no senior soldiers, you have to come on."

"Yes, squad leader."

After Xi Minghui finished explaining, he returned to the dormitory and continued to stare at the veterans to punish.

Only Chen Ming was left alone in the corridor to think, he couldn't give too much advice as a squad leader, and Xi Minghui himself didn't have the ability to compete for the ranking of the list, how could he give advice?

In addition to mental arithmetic, he doesn't think Chen Ming has any shortcomings.

There was no training arranged in the camp, so Chen Ming said hello to the squad leader, and ran to the training ground to practice with the old non-commissioned officers to prepare for the next day's competition.

That same evening.

The second battalion counts the list of competitions, in addition to Chen Ming to participate in the competition, there are 27 veterans.

There are a total of twenty-eight people, except for Chen Ming who is a private, the lowest of the rest are the second phase, not even the first phase of non-commissioned officers, once this list is arranged, there is a high probability that it will be posted in the honor column of each company for a year.

It represents not only the advanced, but also the honor, the honor of the individual and the class.

After all, people have the top 10 classes on the Dragon and Tiger list, and the comprehensive results are better than ordinary classes.

This is an indisputable fact.

In the middle of the night, there were still people practicing on the training ground, but Chen Ming was like a nobody, sleeping at the lights-out point, and seemed not to worry about the next competition at all.

The next morning soon came.

The second battalion of Yuanhuo wants to compete in the dragon and tiger rankings, which is not a trivial matter for the whole brigade.

The location was set at the artillery brigade training ground, which was the place where Chen Ming and his recruits were assessed for the next company.

Just after breakfast, Tang Zhen, the brigade commander of the brigade headquarters, Peng Qinglin, the chief of staff, and Tao Sheng, the chief instructor who came from Longya, went to the training ground together by car.

Including the 1st Battalion of Long-Range Fire, the Box Rocket Artillery Battalion, the Truck Artillery Battalion, the 155 Vehicle-mounted Self-Propelled Howitzer Battalion, some non-commissioned officers, company commanders, battalion commanders all began to move.

If it's just a dragon and tiger list, the attraction is not so great, the key is that the veterans of the second battalion are all transferred from other battalions, and if they can get the ranking, those former comrades-in-arms will also have a light on their faces.

Because of this, they all began to concentrate on the training ground.

Second shift.

Xi Minghui finished the whole team, waved his big hand and said: "Comrades, today is the day of our second battalion dragon and tiger list competition, not much to say."

"Our class signed up for Chen Ming to participate in the competition, and when we arrived at the training ground, no matter what kind of results Chen Ming obtained, shouted to me vigorously, shouted according to the degree of hoarseness, applauded me vigorously, and my hand was swollen."

"If I find out who wilts, don't cheer, hold your arms and watch the excitement on the side, come back and see how I clean you up."

"Did you hear that?" Xi Minghui glared at him and threatened.

He told him so well, in fact, he was still not sure that Chen Ming could really rank in the top ten.

Even if he performed well on the battlefield, the artillery competition only revolved around the artillery subject after all, and Chen Ming's time to leave the company was still too short.

He hasn't even practiced some subjects, so he's not very optimistic, but as a squad leader, even if Chen Ming can't get a ranking, he must be strongly encouraged and supported by all members.

"Yes, squad leader." The crowd shouted at their necks.

"Okay, get on board."

The vehicle began to set off leisurely, and it was about twenty minutes from the second battalion station to the training ground, and Chen Ming leaned on the carriage and looked out leisurely.

It doesn't seem to be worrying at all about the next competition.

This made Wang Shuaibing confused, and quietly stretched out his elbow and touched Chen Ming: "Brother Chen, aren't you nervous?"

"I'm going to be nervous when it's time to compete, why do you look idler than me?"

Hearing the inquiry, Chen Ming shook his head slightly, but did not answer, and he could not say that he was not nervous, the competition dragon and tiger list is not the same as the recruit assessment.

At that time, the squad leader and the company commander held meetings at every turn, and came to mobilize or something.

This time it's good, there was no conference in the competition, and not even all the members participated, and Chen Ming didn't even know who his opponent was, so what was so nervous?

Who are you nervous about?

Chen Ming was right, there was really no nervousness when he set off from the second battalion, it was more like going to a collective errand.

But when the people of the second battalion arrived at the training ground, the atmosphere was not right.

Getting out of the car, Chen Ming saw twenty-eight half-person-tall tires placed on the dry grass in the middle of the training ground.

Each visual inspection weighs more than 100 pounds, which is heavier than the weight of many fighters, and the most important thing is that there are many people around the tires.

Not only the second battalion, but also the first battalion also had a lot of people arrived.

What surprised Chen Ming even more was that the colonel standing in front of the brigade commander was like an iron tower, giving people a dangerous vision.

And that's not all.

Chen Ming was not surprised because of a person's size, and the colonel's military uniform was pinned with a small silver medal on the right chest.

It was a sharp tooth, braving a sharp cold light.

This is the sign of a dragon's tooth.

During the preparation for the war, Chen Ming fought with the dragon's tooth many times, how could he not recognize this special medal.

Why is the dragon's tooth here again? Still chased to the artillery brigade?

Before Chen Ming could figure it out, in the distance, Xu Kai, the commander of the second battalion of Yuanhuo, began to greet loudly.

"All companies, all squads, and the people participating in the competition are ready to assemble."

"Irrelevant comrades, stand back, and the competition will officially begin in five minutes."

"Speed Collection!"
