Since Tang Dao and Colonel Gu both agreed and each presented a reward, this competition, representing the shooting level of the Sichuan Army and the Northeast Army respectively, was decided.
All preparations are done by dedicated personnel. There is a wilderness near Dalinzhuang. You can find a shooting range anywhere you want.
The busy staff actually put up wooden targets and cleared the area in front to prevent anyone from walking into the shooting area.
The first guard squad under Tang Dao and the guard squad under Colonel Gu were not deliberately selected shooting masters, but they were both composed of elites from their respective infantry regiments, basically representing the elite level of the two infantry regiments.
However, since it is not a simple test of guns but a competition, it is naturally impossible for more than a dozen people in a guard class to participate.
Colonel Gu proposed the rules of the competition: "Captain Tang, asking all brothers from the two guard classes to participate will probably take too long. It is better to have the two guard class leaders lead the team, and then let them randomly select 3 people from the other guard class."
People, a group of four people, each person will empty out 10 rounds of ammunition from the magazine, and then calculate the personal score according to the number of rounds of each person, and divide them into first, second and third place. The opponents of their choice will compete by themselves. Winning or losing depends on both strength and luck."
He hesitated to speak and glanced at the officers and soldiers of the guard group who were still standing upright behind Tang Dao. Colonel Gu's eyes were filled with confidence, "As for the honor of the Sixings Regiment and our 622nd Regiment, the military exploits have already said it all. There is no need for this."
The results on the training field prove that if the general is passed out, it will only make a laughing stock, so please don’t worry about it, Captain Tang and the brothers."
Good guy, no wonder he became the commander of the personal guard battalion of the Lieutenant General of the 49th Army! This person's emotional intelligence and smooth way of handling things are comparable to those of Gu Shaoxun. He is definitely a capable person. Tang Dao wants to applaud this person.
.
He talks like a flower, but in fact the real meaning is: to see the level of elite shooting between you and me, it depends not only on the individual results, but also on the overall results!
Despite the small number of troops equipped with the Czech zh-29 semi-automatic rifle, China is the country with the largest number of such semi-automatic rifles in the world. According to records, China as a whole imported 10,000 rifles of this type before the war began.
Not only the Northeastern Army has equipment, but several German weapon divisions also have small amounts of equipment.
The reason why there are so few equipments around the world is not because of this gun difference, but because the shooting concept of this rifle, which was developed more than ten years ago, is completely ahead of the times and is not accepted by the public.
Moreover, this rifle also has flaws. When continuous shooting creates intensive firepower, the ballistic trajectory cannot remain stable due to the large recoil.
However, the intensive firepower output produced by this rifle's 10-round standard magazine is definitely the best among rifles in this era.
Even, as the brother of the Czech ZB-26 light machine gun which has almost the same locking system, bolt mechanism and gas rod structure, the ZH-29 semi-automatic rifle can also use the ZB-26's 20-round magazine.
In a sense, the zh-29 semi-automatic rifle is actually a light machine gun that reduces weight and does not require a tripod. It cannot fire continuously and can only fire bursts.
The 10-round large-capacity magazine gives each soldier a total score of 100 points, and for a group of four, the score is naturally as high as 400 points.
Of course, Colonel Gu's move was not to deliberately suppress the Four Elements Group in terms of personal performance and overall performance. What he actually meant was to remind Tang Dao and the Guards Squadron that one of the two would be successful. If both
If they all lag behind, it would be a bit embarrassing.
But people have also laid the groundwork. Don't worry, no matter what, the results of the game will only appear here and will never be spread to the outside world. The name of the hero is proved by the Japanese brains, and there is no need for this.
How artistic is it to express one's determination to win in one sentence and at the same time make the allies feel less domineering? This is of course a manifestation of the wisdom of life.
Sure enough, a turbulent era must also be an era where talents emerge in large numbers! Although Tang Dao has never underestimated this era, at this moment, he has a deeper understanding from this 30-year-old soldier who is at the same level as himself.
"Okay!" Tang Dao nodded and looked back at the first guard: "Zhen La Ya, go pick someone up!"
‘It’s so spicy?’ What the hell? Colonel Gu and the officers and soldiers in his guard squad were slightly stunned.
Officers and soldiers like to use nicknames with personal characteristics, such as Heizi, Laohei, Bailian, etc. Once they hear it, they can tell whether the guy is a black briquette or a whiteface. But this one is 'really spicy!' and it is still composed of Tang Dao.
Even though the director called it out in person, I always felt it was weird there.
"Yes!" Facing the strange looks from the friendly troops, a thin but capable army sergeant strode out of the queue in response, gave Tang Dao a military salute, walked straight to the 662 regiment guard squad, and clicked three dots in sequence.
Next: "I will invite these three brothers!"
In fact, since joining the army, Zhen La Ya, who was born in Qian Province, has seen too many similar looks after hearing such a distinctive name.
Qian Province is mountainous and has a hot and humid climate. Meat is not easy to preserve. Bacon, cured duck, and cured chicken are the only ways for people in mountainous areas to preserve meat. Zhen Cured Duck’s father is an illiterate mountain man.
My son, after scratching his head, decided to name whatever he saw. Before he left the main room, he was hit on the head by a wax duck hanging under the eaves, so he got the name Zhen wax duck.
As an adult, Zhen La Ya has never blamed his father for choosing a random name. He can only be happy and grateful. At least, the person who hit his father's head at that time was not La Ji!
Laji, coupled with his surname "Zhen", it is a tragic name.
Seeing this army sergeant squad leader with a weird name choosing someone so casually, the confidence gushing out of his eyes made the dozen or so soldiers in the 662 regiment's security squad involuntarily look cautious.
He has a weird name and is not strong in stature, but this army sergeant's steps and the aura he displays show to these soldiers who have also experienced cruel battlefields that he is an elite soldier and a strong soldier.
That is the intuition of a warrior!
Their intuition was right too!
Zhen La Ya became the squad leader of the former Leng Feng 1st Sharp Knife Squad, not because of his relationship with his old comrades, but because of his pure strength.
As a senior soldier in the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division, Zhen Laya, who has only been in the army for a year and a half and is still a recruit, performed absolutely well on the Songhu battlefield. Not only did he become the first soldier in his infantry squad to survive to the fourth line
One of the four soldiers who participated in the battle, even killed a Japanese soldier in a hand-to-hand combat led by Tang Dao in Sihang Warehouse and then successfully retreated to the warehouse.
The reason why he is still only a sergeant in the army is that his previous military rank was too low. After being promoted three levels in a row, he has reached the highest level of non-commissioned officer.
The fact that he was not promoted continuously like Gu Xishui, Niu Er, and Yang Xiaoshan did not mean that his ability was worse than theirs. It was just because he did not have one characteristic that was dazzling enough to attract Tang Dao's attention.
Yes, Zhen La Ya looks like a very mediocre soldier. His shooting skills are not bad, but he is definitely not as talented as Niu Er. He is so dazzling that in hand-to-hand combat, he is not like Tang Dao who kills people like chickens.
With ten enemies, it was enough to kill one Japanese soldier in a single fight. In terms of brains, he was not as flexible and fast-progressing as Gu Xishui. It was enough for him to command an infantry squad.
Nothing is outstanding, but nothing is bad. It may seem mediocre, but on the battlefield, such a soldier may be the one who can survive to the end on the battlefield.
Not everyone can become the so-called soldier king. Zhen La Ya should be a representative figure among ordinary soldiers. His balanced ability value is enough to ensure that he survives on the battlefield. That is the key to victory in the battle.
No matter how awesome you are, it will be useless if you die on the battlefield.
And if you want to say that Zhen La Ya's shooting skills are not strong, that is also relative. For example, against Tang Dao, a 'perverted' level shooter like Niu Er is naturally not even a little bit worse. But if you know that Zhen La Ya has a lot of skills on the Qinglong Ridge battlefield,
Having once killed two Japanese soldiers 250 meters away with the Type 38 rifle in his hand, no one dared to ignore the unimpressive Army sergeant in front of him with a weird name.
Obviously, the bulky sergeant and guard squad leader who stepped forward from the 662nd Regiment was not as relaxed as Zhen La Ya. After carefully scanning the faces and figures of the guard squad, he selected three people with extreme caution.
After all, the requirements of the leaders of both sides are different. Tang Dao from the Four Elements Group only wants to get a third place in order to get extra meals, but their leader is bound to win. If they don't win, everyone will have to drink at the entrance of the village tonight.
Northwest wind.
He had a good eye for selecting people, and he selected three people in a row, all of whom were tall soldiers.
Being tall means that individual soldiers are more powerful in combat, because they have sufficient strength and have stronger control over guns. However, such soldiers often become machine gunners instead of spearmen.
If it were an ordinary guard, he would of course use completely opposite concepts to select people, but Tang Dao just confessed that his guard company was reorganized from an infantry company before it was expanded a few days ago.
Correct ideas lead to correct results. Among the three people selected, one was the main shooter of the light machine gun and the other was the grenade shooter. Both of them rarely used rifles, but he picked the wrong one. That was
A precision marksman of the Guard Group 1, he is also a veteran of the former Si Xing Battalion.
However, two of the four are destined to be inferior in shooting skills to soldiers who commonly use rifles, so they can basically guarantee victory in terms of overall results.
Although one side is casual and the other is cautious, and the attitudes of both sides before the competition are different, Colonel Gu does not blame his guard squad leader for being cautious. In his eyes, this is actually similar to the battlefield. Soldiers treat themselves with caution.
Fighting is the most correct choice. It would be a shame to lose after showing enough momentum.
His temperament was slightly arrogant but pragmatic enough! Tang Dao's evaluation of the colleague in front of him was even higher.
The 49th Army was able to fight from the North China battlefield to the Songhu battlefield and then to the Xuzhou battle. Although it suffered repeated defeats, it was able to fight again and again. This pragmatic trait is indispensable.
Soldiers from both sides participating in the shooting skills competition have been selected. The members of the first guard squad are led by squad leader Zhen Laya and his sergeant's light machine gun shooters, grenade launchers, and precision shooters. They are all elite veterans, basically representing the four groups.
The highest level among ordinary officers and soldiers in the regiment.
The reason is very simple. Not to mention Zhen La Ya and the precise shooter named Sun Xingjia. If they can't do it, then the ordinary officers and soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment, except for a limited number of perverted shooters, will also not be able to do it. And the young man named Shen Lao Liu
The machine gun shooter was originally a rifleman, so he is very familiar with rifle shooting.
More importantly, when everyone started to pick up the zh-29 and start checking the guns, Shen Laoliu almost laughed out loud. The seemingly high-end and high-end semi-automatic rifle in his hand was actually incomparable to him.
I'm familiar with the ZB-26 light machine gun. It's not much different. If I have to say the difference, it's just that it's lighter, the gun is longer, and it doesn't need a tripod. And the shooting method of pulling the trigger to fire a bullet is not what he wants.
Use zb-26 for point shooting!
As the main shooter of the light machine gun of the Guards Squadron 1, Shen Laoliuke had the record of killing a Japanese officer at a 400-meter point. But the reflection of that guy standing in the trench with a telescope observing the battlefield was too conspicuous. He was wrong.
It was really a shame for him to shoot me.
And Shen Laoliu also received a popular compliment in the series because of this shot: I am really impressed by you, you old six!
Today, Shen Laoliu decided to bring this buzzword to the 662 group to let them know how powerful Lao Liu is.
"Brother, remember! My name is Lao Liu!" Before walking up to the shooting position, Shen Lao Liu reminded the sergeant and guard squad leader of the 662nd Regiment in a confused manner.
"Oh! Brother Liu, no matter you win or lose, if we meet again in the future, I will treat you to wine and meat!" The squad leader, a sergeant who is also from the Northeast, heard the Northeastern accent of his fellow villagers, and patted him hard with some small thoughts.
'Opponent's' shoulders.
Seeing fellow villagers in a foreign land, the cliff is warm, and the Army sergeant feels very Chinese.
By now, all ten wooden targets have been erected, and the ten-ring target paper similar to the future one has been affixed to the wooden targets.
Because considering that it was the first time for soldiers to use the zh-29 semi-automatic rifle, Colonel Gu was not too harsh. The wooden target was placed 150 meters away. Otherwise, if any of these so-called elites did not even hit the target,
No matter which regiment they appear in, the faces of the two chief officers are not good-looking.
This is not a dispute of temper, I just want to use this to judge the combat strength of the opponent's infantry regiment. There is no need to be so shameless, right?
There is no set time, but the soldiers participating in the competition all know that after everyone else has finished fighting, they can't do it alone. All 10 bullets must be fired within one minute at most.
They are all veterans. After checking the firearm to make sure it would not jam, they gave the order!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" gunfire sounded one after another on the temporary shooting range.
Neither Tang Dao nor Colonel Gu used binoculars to look at the target paper in the distance.
Colonel Gu, who took the initiative to hand Tang Dao a cigarette, lit it with a match, and exhaled a puff of blue smoke, said with a smile: "It seems that Commander Tang has quite a lot of confidence in your Majesty!"
"Hehe, so what about Commander Gu!" Tang Dao responded with a smile. "Based on this alone, the 662nd Regiment was able to defeat a Japanese infantry regiment with one regiment on the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway without retreating day and night. That's not true.
What a fluke! It’s a pity that Captain Gu died for his country, hey!”
Tang Dao was naturally talking about the colonel commander of the 662 regiment who died in battle. The battle report recorded that the army colonel named Gu Huiquan personally led the guard company to support the front line several times when the fighting was fierce, but he was
On the eve of the evacuation, he was hit in the chest by a shrapnel and died. How could it not be a pity?
This is undoubtedly a tribute to the 662nd Regiment.
But to Tang Dao's surprise, Colonel Gu, who had a relaxed posture, suddenly fell silent. The brim of his helmet and drooped eyelids blocked his gaze, and the blue smoke from his cigarette also obscured his face.
The empty shooting range was filled with the sound of semi-automatic rifles firing.
Tang Dao, who was slightly stunned, seemed to have caught something. It seemed that the colonel leader in front of him was also named Gu. Could it be that
After a while, Colonel Gu raised his head and looked at Tang Dao, "I'm sorry, Hui Ze was in a bit of a mood just now. Please don't get me wrong, Captain Tang."
"Captain Gu and that Commander Gu," Tang Dao asked tentatively.
"That's my brother!" Colonel Gu looked forward with his eyes unchanged, trying his best to appear calm.
However, the slightly bulging muscles in his cheeks revealed his sadness.
Tang Dao finally understood that the coldness he felt when he met the new colonel leader for the first time might not be due to his personality. It was just that his brother had only passed away for a month, and it was difficult for him to smile in front of a stranger.
"Captain Gu Huiquan is a hero of the country and the nation! His name will definitely be on the victory monument in the future! I also hope that Commander Gu will express my condolences!"
Tang Dao has no pity or comfort, and directly states his opinions and evaluations!
In such an era, military service is also a profession that supports the family. It is not uncommon for brothers to join the army, and for fathers and sons to join the army. Such examples abound in the Tang Dao Four Elements Group.
However, when one goes to the battlefield and sees one's relatives being hit by gunfire and dying in front of one's own eyes, no one but themselves can empathize with that heartbreaking pain.
This is true for soldiers, and it is the same for you as a regiment leader.
What they want may not be comfort, but the world's recognition of their relatives who died in the war. At least, their death was not in vain!
Just like Leng Feng's younger brother Shitou, Tang Dao specially won a Baoding Medal for him in recognition of his bravery.
It is an affirmation of the deceased and the greatest comfort to the living. His relatives died for the country and the nation. If they can be remembered, they are not dead yet.
"Thank you!" Colonel Gu turned around and stared at Tang Dao, who had a solemn expression on his face, with gratitude in his eyes.
This is exactly the honor he has been striving for for his brother!
I just didn't expect that when the battle achievements were reported to the Military and Political Department, someone said that the 662nd Regiment only held off the Japanese invaders for one day and night, and eventually lost its position and suffered a defeat. If they were not held accountable, it was already because of their death in battle, but they still wanted to To report military exploits?
That was simply too much bullying. The commander lost his temper over this and almost quit the job. However, in the end, he still considered that the war with the Japanese invaders was about to start. At this time, setting up a stall would only offend the population, and it would be more harmful to the country and the nation. The interests are not in line with each other, so I can only swallow this sigh of relief.
Tang Dao, the leader of the friendly army, had no doubt that his evaluation of his brother was the most in line with his wishes.
At this moment, the gunshots coming from not far away gradually stopped.
Eight soldiers from both sides got up from their respective shooting positions and stood upright on the spot.
Just wait for the signal soldiers to take down the target paper and calculate the number of rounds each soldier fired.
"Captain Tang, win or lose, I have made you a friend, Gu Huize!" Colonel Gu suddenly said as he watched his soldiers take down the target papers from a distance and run towards them quickly.
Sincere eyes!
"Both each other!" Tang Dao grinned.
Tang Dao likes such soldiers. Although the city is deep and the people are sophisticated and mellow, they still have the character of a soldier!
