Chapter 82: Martial Arts Competition? More Like Here To Break Records
For ordinary people or soldiers, hitting a 10-ring is a pretty difficult thing.
But for elite soldier competitors who are one in a hundred, using a rifle with an effective range of 400 meters to shoot targets beyond 150 meters in prone unsupported posture, the difficulty is indeed not great.
The difficulty lies in shooting stability.
Hitting the 10-ring center with one bullet is easy, but hitting 10 bullets without missing a single one greatly increases the difficulty, testing both technology and mentality.
The crackling gunshots continued for more than 2 minutes.
The five competitors successively raised their hands to report.
The target inspector ran out from the target pit and began reporting the targets one by one starting from target number one.
“Target number one, 97 rings…”
Seven out of ten shots hit 10 rings, and the remaining three also hit 9 rings. Competitor number 21 was already very strong, yet it didn’t cause the slightest ripple in the venue.
On the regiment competition venue filled with experts, this result was simply not enough to watch.
“Target number two, 100 rings…”
“Oh~~”
The moment Cheng Cai’s result for number 22 was announced, the whole audience erupted in cheers. A new recruit who was good with pistol was also this awesome with rifle, making everyone have to marvel.
“Not bad, this kid is good. He didn’t drop the ball at the crucial moment. Platoon Leader Chen, he’s indeed your direct disciple.”
Gao Cheng was very satisfied with Cheng Cai’s result. He stood with hands on hips, grinning from ear to ear, and unusually joked with Chen Jun.
“Cheng Cai has some minor flaws, but undeniably he’s a shooting genius. With good cultivation, he should become our Steel Seventh Company’s ace sniper.”
Chen Jun also gave an affirmative response, indirectly recommending Cheng Cai once again.
“What minor flaws? As long as he can deliver results and doesn’t make principled errors, whether he’s got a tough temper or is a thorny soldier, it’s no problem in my book.”
Gao Cheng was a standard value theorist, adhering to the principle that soldiers who can fight wars are good soldiers.
While Gao Cheng and Chen Jun were exchanging, the target inspector had already started reporting target number five, which was Wu Liu Yi’s target. The two immediately stopped.
Listening carefully with anticipation!
“Target number five, 100 rings!!”
“Great, great, excellent. Liu Yi, you didn’t make me lose face, haha.”
The moment Gao Cheng heard the target report result, he jumped up from his chair, raised his right hand high in the air, and excitedly punched at the empty air.
Both competitors from Steel Seventh Company hit full rings, reigniting the buzz in the venue once again.
Everyone was surprised.
Steel Seventh Company was clearly impotent last year, so what advanced drug did they take this year to suddenly become so fierce.
One person’s results improving is one thing, but everyone’s results improving.
It’s really unscientific!
Only Gao Cheng, who knew the inside story well, punched Chen Jun in the chest the next moment after raising his arm in celebratory cheer, grinning broadly.
As if saying: “I’ve finally picked up a treasure.”
The greatest merit for Cheng Cai and Wu Liu Yi achieving today’s results absolutely belongs to Chen Jun.
Without him, there would be no this new record.
That’s right.
Both competitors from Steel Seventh Company hit full rings, truly creating a new regiment competition record once again—the shooting individual event team full score record.
The competitors below the stage were all incredulous, unable to figure out why Steel Seventh Company had become so fierce.
The Red Third Company and Great Merit Sixth Company, who were originally full of confidence vowing to take this one, now had faces full of shock and unwillingness.
How did they lose to Seventh Company again!!
Even the regiment leaders on the grandstand, seeing Steel Seventh Company hit full scores in every project they competed in, refreshing new 702 regiment records in every project.
It was as if others were there for the competition, while Steel Seventh Company was there specifically to break regiment competition records.
Their hearts were greatly shocked, unable to control their surging emotions.
The people in the spectator area were just marveling at the double 100s, but the leaders on the grandstand exchanged a few words, revealing information full of momentous changes.
“Seventh Company prepared very thoroughly this year. They’re clearly aiming for first in the regiment competition. They lost to Third Company last year, but exploded completely this year. Our troops need exactly this kind of unconvinced, daring to vie for the lead spirit.”
The political commissar praised Seventh Company’s growth endlessly and had great confidence in Steel Seventh Company.
Steel Seventh Company was originally a veteran powerhouse company, but its results had declined in the past two years, leading to arguments in the regiment that Armored Reconnaissance Company was gradually being marginalized and no longer suited for modern warfare.
It was thought Steel Seventh Company would sink into obscurity from then on, with only Regiment Commander Wang still providing strong support. Unexpectedly, in this year’s competition, they could witness the reconnaissance company’s resurgence.
It was equivalent to slapping the adventurous arguments in the face, making the political commissar feel gratified and happy inside.
“Seventh Company indeed should rise again. This competition’s results are very surprising. I hope it’s not just a flash in the pan, but that they’ve already left the old path behind and found a new path more suitable.”
Regiment Commander Wang said this very seriously, indicating that certain tones had indeed spread widely at the top levels.
The army is an extremely strict place. Every reform or reorganization measure is very cautious, requiring many procedures and years of consideration.
Even deciding one company’s future cannot be completed in three to five months.
The reorganization of the original drama is indeed not an instantaneous matter.
It must first have various useless arguments, then stage the mountain military exercise to witness, and finally conclude with an order.
It’s just that the tones are circulating at the top levels, equivalent to classified military secrets.
Gao Cheng’s level simply couldn’t access them.
His father, as the top commander of the group army, wouldn’t specially talk to Gao Cheng about such rumors either; he wasn’t that idle.
Cheng Cai and Wu Liu Yi both handed in perfect answer sheets. The results of the last sixth group were already irrelevant.
Because even if other companies also hit 100 rings, under the event mechanism rules, when the first-place competitor’s score is the same, they compare the second-place competitor’s score.
And among the fifteen companies competing in the whole venue, only Steel Seventh Company hit double 100 rings.
First place in the individual event was self-evident!
Two of the fourteen projects were completed, and Steel Seventh Company, with absolute strength of two individual event firsts, crushed the other leading teams and was far ahead.
The other companies lost convincingly but were not easily defeated.
Instead, their fighting spirit burned even higher.
There were still twelve competition projects left. It wasn’t yet the moment to decide victory or defeat. The fewer projects remaining, the more they had to seize every opportunity without letting any go.
Before the third competition project began, the other fourteen companies were all doing one thing.
That was gathering all their competitors together, telling them the current situation was extremely severe, giving them pressure to take the next projects.
They must go all out in every project and absolutely not give Steel Seventh Company any more opportunities.
They must halt Steel Seventh Company’s surging momentum, stop their forward charge, and make Seventh Company cry as miserably later as they were laughing happily now.
