Chapter 93: Crisis Looms For Steel Seventh Company
Vehicle-mounted Machine Gun Precision Shooting requires the use of a vehicle, and the competition format is slightly more complex than before.
Moreover, the rules have been slightly modified.
The rules are that competitors on the BJ212 military vehicle use the shooting stand specifically for shooting on the vehicle, using the 81-style squad light machine gun for burst fire.
A total of five short bursts of 10 bullets, with the goal being the precision target 30 meters away.
Although the vehicle moves forward uniformly at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, the loess road is uneven, so there will definitely be some bumps and ups and downs.
Light machine gun continuous burst fire tests stability the most, and shooting from a vehicle lacks stability the most.
Combining the two makes it a high-difficulty event in the competition.
Other companies all train in a standard manner, and the training of grassroots companies is similar, driving around the training ground every day to tough it out.
It’s not that this kind of training has no effect.
It’s just that this kind of training is very limited and cannot essentially improve the core of this project; no matter how much you practice, the upper limit is only so high.
It mainly serves to practice makes perfect, allowing them to shoot a bit more accurately than average people.
While adopting more scientific skill-based training, targeting the cerebellum part of the brain specifically responsible for balance, conducting point-to-point intensified training.
This not only greatly improves training efficiency but also raises the upper limit of the body’s tolerance.
As long as the cerebellum is strengthened to be sufficiently powerful, achieving excellent control in balance, it equals thoroughly curing the “root cause of the disease,” and naturally the shooting will be more accurate.
It’s like wanting to make a knife sharper; just grinding it relentlessly is useless.
The material limit is right there; grinding too much will make it blunt and soft.
Only by improving the knife’s material can its sharpness rise to a new height, achieving true hair-splitting sharpness.
Every competitor from Steel Seventh Company has undergone four months of Hell Furnace Training, which includes a lot of brain-targeted training.
The big swing training is just one of them.
There are also, but not limited to, balance ball training, fixed roller spiral ladder training, etc., targeting the body’s balance, anti-dizziness, and other tolerance training.
Under the premise of being top student veterans with the same years of experience, same equipment, and same training ground.
With more scientific training methods, the gap will be very obvious.
Wu Liu Yi and Cheng Cai’s current strength has already surpassed other competitors by a large margin.
The competition has no suspense!
The other companies, already facing four consecutive losses and nearly numb from losing, remained the same in this project, once again rubbed on the ground by Steel Seventh Company.
Wu Liu Yi took first place with all 10 shots hitting, totaling 95 rings.
The first burst all hit 10 rings, and the second burst were all in 9 rings.
For rifle two-round burst fire, due to the recoil after firing, the muzzle will have some offset after the first shot leaves the barrel, affecting the impact position of the second shot.
The recoil after firing cannot be reduced, so it can only be resolved using skills.
For example, the muzzle must be level with the ground, and use the shoulder and hands together to press down the gun, turning the recoil after firing into forward-backward motion.
As long as the muzzle’s up-and-down movement is smaller, the second shot’s impact point will be closer to the first.
Chen Jun has taught Wu Liu Yi and other competitors all kinds of related machine gun continuous fire skills.
Wu Liu Yi being able to achieve such good results obviously means he has preliminarily absorbed the experience taught by Chen Jun and knows how to control the recoil.
Effective control of recoil after firing, combined with the already trained balance ability.
95 rings is not excessive.
If Chen Jun were to compete personally, he could even achieve 100 rings.
Cheng Cai is still a new recruit after all, with limited time receiving training in the troops; he who focuses fully on shooting still needs improvement in comprehensive ability.
Vehicle-mounted shooting requires physical fitness; only being strong enough can withstand the recoil.
So even though Cheng Cai’s shooting talent is maxed out, and he received machine gun training like Wu Liu Yi, he is still a bit behind Wu Liu Yi.
Ultimately only achieving 92 rings.
He also achieved all first burst hitting 10 rings, but control of the second burst was obviously much worse, even including a seventh ring.
However.
Although neither Wu Liu Yi nor Cheng Cai achieved full rings, and none of the second bursts hit 10 rings, this result is already enough to crush everything.
Vehicle-mounted machine gun burst fire with full debuff stacked, full rings itself is extremely difficult.
It might only appear in the All-Army Grand Competition.
Among the competitors from the other fourteen companies combined, there are a few who hit all 10 shots on target, but not even one reaching 90 rings can be found.
The two competitors from Steel Seventh Company once again crushed the entire regiment to take the single event first place.
By this point, they have completed five consecutive victories!
The Grand Competition has a total of fourteen competition projects, and Steel Seventh Company alone has taken five first places; the advantage is already so great that it feels outrageous.
In the 702 Regiment Grand Competition from the first edition until now, no company has ever achieved five consecutive victories.
It can be said to have set a new regiment record.
There are still nine projects left to compete, with the same fifteen companies competing; who knows how many more the powerful Steel Seventh Company will take.
The other fourteen company commanders are truly anxious, each one flushed with anger and restless.
Contending for first in the regiment competition is no longer hoped for.
Steel Seventh Company is too fierce!
Can’t beat them.
Completely can’t beat them.
No chance at all, beaten to despair.
The fourteen company commanders all figured this out, knowing that contending for first in the regiment is hopeless, so they are forced to change the competition goal.
From ambitiously contending for first in the regiment, downgraded to striving to be second is not embarrassing.
With the set goal changed, the original competition strategy is useless and must shift from comprehensive development to precisely some point.
Simply put.
It is to concentrate all available strength, leverage each competitor’s strongest advantage, and take first in one project first if possible.
Whether they can hold on in later projects, whether energy and stamina can keep up, is completely disregarded for now.
Now that all shooting subjects have been completed, the switching work between Grand Competition subjects is relatively more time-consuming.
So the intermission is extended to one hour, giving other companies sufficient adjustment time.
The vast majority of companies, to maximize grabbing first place, even used their extremely precious sole replacement quota, adjusting competitors to focus on the next certain project.
Whether they can get results in other subjects doesn’t matter; just stubbornly go for first in one project first.
Secure the bottom line first, then aim for others.
If in the year-end Grand Competition they get a complete shutout, not even getting one project first, it would not just be a matter of losing face.
It directly ties to the company’s annual performance, and various annual awards are out of the question.
The fourteen companies no longer play by the rules, all sending out their strongest fighters just to secure the first win, making the subsequent competition suddenly become bloody and fierce.
And the “culprit” behind this great mutation—Steel Seventh Company—will also face the most difficult challenge.
