Chapter 86: The Chief Of Staff Wants To Poach Him!
One starting dash stunned everyone with its dazzling appearance, the first shot easily shocked the whole audience, and the roll-to-retrieve gun left everyone lingering in admiration.
And this was merely just the beginning.
What followed was even more magnificent!
Chen Jun, with thirty targets still to hit, had now completed two tactical movements, needing only one more tactical movement next.
The operational space was already very large.
To ensure the leaping speed was fast enough and minimally hindered by the rifle, Chen Jun kept single-hand carrying the rifle during the run.
After completing the roll-to-retrieve gun and standing up to continue forward, accelerating only required lowering the rifle.
Leaping forward another 10 meters rapidly.
Three more targets popped up neatly.
For the previous five targets, Chen Jun had slowed down, but this time for these three targets, he didn’t reduce speed at all.
While continuing to run forward quickly, he used balancing step skills to steady the upper body, switched from single-hand carrying the rifle to two-hand holding, pressed the buttstock against the shoulder socket for aiming.
Under high-speed movement, performing standing posture unsupported precision shooting.
“Bang bang bang.”
The firing speed was still that fast.
Three-shot ultra-fast burst fire, taking just over one second, all targets fell in response.
After shooting, Chen Jun released his left hand, smoothly switched back to right-hand carrying the rifle, resumed the rifle-carrying rapid leap posture, and charged forward at full speed again.
Taking advantage of moving shooting, no need to stop midway and restart.
Chen Jun accelerated again very easily.
In each shooting round, the entire operation saved more than two seconds compared to other competitors.
Don’t underestimate these two seconds.
Per regulations, there are ten shooting instances total; saving two seconds each equals twenty seconds, enough to boost the result significantly.
Chen Jun’s previous sliding kneel shot was already outrageous, and now he even did a midway running shot.
Increasingly abstract.
The spectators were increasingly unable to comprehend.
“Moving shooting I get, but who can tell me how there’s running shooting? Running that fast and still shooting that accurately—is he even human?”
Witnessing another miracle-like scene, everyone in the whole audience lost their composure.
Though the shooting distance was less than fifty meters, even a one-millimeter muzzle wobble would deviate the bullet by at least half a meter at fifty meters.
Under high-speed running, the whole body shakes, with shake amplitude exceeding ten centimeters.
Firing in such conditions would definitely miss wildly.
How Chen Jun managed it—hitting targets with every shot despite such intense shaking—was truly baffling.
Even welding the rifle to his body couldn’t be this outrageous.
Competitors and company commanders in the spectator area couldn’t figure it out, nor could the regiment leaders on the grandstand; this exceeded their cognition.
The previous sliding kneel shot was shocking but still comprehensible.
But this high-speed running rifle shooting, achieving such pinpoint accuracy with every hit, was truly incomprehensible—an operation never seen before.
Regiment Commander Wang, who had just calmly praised Chen Jun while maintaining regiment commander poise.
After seeing the precision shooting with flying kick while running, he could no longer stay composed, staring in astonishment as he said: “I’ve heard in the military region that some special elite troops can indeed shoot while moving.
But their ‘moving’ means walking, not shooting while running—and certainly not running that fast with bullets that accurate~~”
When what one sees exceeds one’s own cognition, even the calmest person will panic.
“The waves behind push the waves ahead; the young are formidable. Old Xu today has truly broadened his horizons.”
With movement shooting less than a third complete, the chief of staff was convinced by Chen Jun’s strength, thoroughly convinced without any reservations.
But convinced as he was, doubts lingered in his heart.
Unable to hold back his surprise, he asked: “Running that fast, can he really shoot accurately?”
“Accurate or not, haven’t you seen it? Those targets all fell in response.”
After Regiment Commander Wang spoke, he frowned, full of curiosity as he said: “We’ve never used these techniques, nor seen them in other units.
This big guy just came down from the military academy, so… where exactly did he learn this?”
The military academy focuses on theoretical foundations; it doesn’t delve deep into military gymnastics or various military skills, let alone teach such advanced techniques.
Chen Jun just joining the company already knows so much—where he learned it is indeed a mystery.
“The internet is so developed now, with everything available online. We’re old, can’t figure it out, but the young ones are all sharp; maybe he watched it online?”
The political commissar voiced his guess, then added: “Moreover, our army is vigorously pursuing informatization reform; informatization and modernization are the future trend.
The young must understand networks, keep pace with the era’s technology development, to advance with the times and upgrade the troops’ combat effectiveness iteratively.”
Regiment-level leaders were all over forty, not very familiar with computers and high technology.
But that didn’t stop them from gaining a basic understanding and maintaining a supportive attitude toward the young, letting the army grow continuously under the drive of fresh blood.
“Old He, now that you mention it, it really might be that. I’ve heard those foreign counter-terrorism special combat units love researching this kind of technology, and they’re indeed ahead of us in this aspect.”
With Regiment Commander Wang’s doubts resolved, he chuckled: “Looks like this Comrade Chen Jun is still a diligent, eager-to-learn good kid, haha.”
“Then congratulations to the regiment commander! Unearthing such an excellent cadre through one martial arts competition. I suggest transferring him to regiment headquarters for proper cultivation—can’t waste him.
Perfect timing, headquarters is short a few young staff officers; I think Chen Jun is quite suitable.”
The chief of staff verbally congratulated the regiment commander while already scheming for Chen Jun.
“Old Xu, oh Old Xu, your little abacus is so loud it can be heard across ten mountains, haha.” Regiment Commander Wang pointed mockingly at the chief of staff and laughed.
Though he didn’t directly agree with the chief of staff, he also didn’t clearly reject.
Evidently, he had some agreement in his heart.
Transferring such an excellent cadre to regiment headquarters would allow faster growth and training at the regiment agency level than in a grassroots company.
The 702 Regiment urgently needs young mainstay cadres; Chen Jun is a rare good seedling.
Precisely due to this urgent need, plus Chen Jun’s performance earning unanimous approval from regiment leaders, the political commissar and several directors all expressed their attitudes.
Unanimously supporting transferring Chen Jun to the regiment for cultivation, all believing it a waste of talent to put him in a grassroots company leading troops.
Chen Jun was unaware that after just dazzling in two projects, his stunning performance had completely conquered all levels of regiment leaders.
Steel Seventh Company, this small temple, might not accommodate this great god—he might not stay much longer.
He was now fully immersed in the martial arts competition, blocking out all external noise, and during the regiment leaders’ discussion, he took down over a dozen more targets.
Each time with different draw-and-shoot actions, various proficient tactical movements executed effortlessly.
Since all tactical movements Chen Jun used were unheard-of and unseen by the competitors, or plus-upgrade versions of what they knew.
Thus, every time Chen Jun shot or performed tactics, it elicited a roar from the whole audience.
Be it applause, screams, or heated discussion.
The atmosphere of the martial arts competition field reached a new high!
