Chapter 27 Cooled Passion
The afternoon sun was shining warmly, and Shang Zhen was sitting cross-legged under the shade of a tree beside the playground, with a flower trap and the rifle beside him.
This is already their third day of rest in Jinzhou City.
Originally they were stationed outside Jinzhou City, but in view of their heroic performance and heavy casualties this time, the remaining people were assigned to the city.
The common people in Jinzhou City heard that the Northeast Army won the battle, and especially heard that their company performed very well, and actually killed a big fat pig and sent it over to them with gongs and drums.
Shang Zhen was a little stunned at that time.
He stood outside the door and saw that the eyes of old men and women looked at him with kindness, his peers looked at him with admiration, and the eyes of children looked at him with admiration.
Seeing the happy faces of those men, women, and children, he suddenly felt that everything he had done was worthwhile.
He thought that if his mother saw him in his current state, she would be very happy. If he used a gun to protect these people, he would not be protecting other people's parents.
At that time, there was an old lady who saw Shang Zhen and said, whose child are you? You are so thin and you are still fighting!
When the old lady said this, everyone in Hu Biaolian laughed.
At this time, Shang Zhen, who was already exhausted, puffed up his thin chest, and he aroused a burst of admiration from the people, just because Shang Zhen was now a two-gun general, with a flower machine and a Liao 13 rifle.
.
Of course, company commander Hu Biao liked the common people to praise his subordinates, so he loudly said to the common people, "Although I am a thin soldier, he is our sharpshooter. How can I be equipped with two guns?"
Just Hu Biao's words of praise made Shang Zhen feel excited. Who wouldn't like to hear praise, let alone his own company commander.
But when he straightened his shoulders and chest again, he let out an "ouch".
Everyone asked what was wrong, and Shang Zhen said that his shoulder hurt.
When Li Fushun unbuttoned Shang Zhen's clothes and exposed his shoulders, he saw that his shoulders were swollen like steamed buns!
But even though the injury looked scary, everyone in Hu Biao's company knew that it was a flesh wound or contusion.
But how do ordinary people know?
Seeing this situation, some people said that I have trauma medicine at home and I will apply it on you for two days to keep it safe!
Shang Zhen, who originally thought he had lost face because of his shoulder injury, turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
The medicine the people put on him was indeed effective. He ate and drank enough that night and lay down to sleep. When he woke up the next morning, most of the swelling had disappeared.
After waking up, while eating, Shang Zhen surprised everyone again. Shang Zhen once again wiped out the food of three people like a storm.
Everyone said that if Shang Zhen continued to eat like this, he would no longer be a jerk, but would become a vat! Shang Zhen laughed.
Hu Biaolian suffered so many casualties at once, so Hu Biao did not let his remaining subordinates get up to do exercises or anything else. Instead, he gave them three days off, and today is the last day.
At this time, Shang Zhen, who felt that he had recovered mentally and physically, felt like a dream when he thought about what had happened since he joined the army.
He suddenly felt that he needed to sort out his affairs.
The enthusiasm of the people and Hu Biao's praise made Shang stunned.
But just this morning, his third brother Li Fushun chatted with him alone for a while, and he had a new idea.
There was only one central topic that Li Fushun chatted with him about, and that was how to save one's life.
Li Fushun said that it is a good thing to be brave in battle, but you must learn to protect yourself.
Shang Zhen knew that his third brother would never kill you, so he was naturally all ears.
According to Li Fushun, for now, with your small body like a waiter, it's okay to shoot from behind.
But there are many kinds of things in war. Can you fight with others on bayonets? They only need to touch you with their rifles, and your rifle will fly away.
Let’s talk about skimming (throwing) grenades. How far can you skim the grenade?
Don't forget that when the company commander praises you, you won't be able to weigh your weight. I don't want to pick up your pieces and bury them like those who were killed after the battle.
You have so much to learn!
The words of the third brother Li Fushun poured cold water on Shang Zhen, who was already a little dizzy. He became sober. He needed to clarify his thoughts. He had to think carefully about his future career as a soldier.
How to go.
In the end, Shang Zhen analyzed what was most dangerous when serving as a soldier.
As Li Fushun said, I am not in good shape to fight with a bayonet, and I can't get far away from a grenade. As for a frontal charge, there is no need to think about it. Not to mention that I am not in good shape. Even if I am a strong man, he will not be able to encounter that kind of machine gun.
The bullets will be beaten like a sieve in the blink of an eye!
So how should we save our lives? All Shang Zhen can think of is to practice his marksmanship. If he can shoot the rifle accurately, then he will not have to charge forward! And this is what he does in the current situation.
The only way I can think of.
Shang Zhen reached out and touched his Liao 13, then sat with the rifle on his shoulder.
Although his shoulder still hurt a little, he finally felt a familiar feeling the moment he touched the gun with both hands.
Shang Zhen closed his eyes and recalled the scene when he was shooting at the puppet soldiers in the bushes. At this time, he could confirm that even if his marksmanship was not very good, he was still getting started.
After a while he opened his eyes and put down the rifle.
Now their company lives in the courtyard of a high school in Jinzhou City. Fighting together, the children have naturally gone home for the holidays.
But now he can't use the rifle to make wild gestures here, what if something goes wrong?
Shang Zhen reached out and touched the flower trap again.
Compared with the rifle, the flower mechanism is much smaller and more refined.
When he imagined that in the future he could use flower traps to shoot at enemies continuously like others, he had another smile on his face.
At this time, he thought of Hou Kanshan, who wanted his own flower machine.
Shang Zhen is not stupid, he would not give this flower trap to Hou Kanshan.
He had heard from Ma Erhuzi that although the effective range of the flower trap was within 150 meters, which was far less than the range of a rifle, it was also a powerful weapon in close combat!
The flower machine gun weighs less than 8 kilograms. It feeds ammunition on the left side and ejects the ejection case on the right side. You can pull the bolt forward and push it forward to fire continuously.
It has a 32-round drum magazine, 7.63 mm caliber, a hardwood stock, a sling, and a bullet insertion slot on the drum. It has great firepower!
And according to Ma Erhuzi, the best thing is that the bullets used in this gun are the same bullets used in box guns.
There are definitely a lot of box cannons in the Northeastern Army nowadays, so you never have to worry about running out of bullets when using flower traps!
Shang Zhen didn't know that the caliber of Huaji was actually 7.63mm, which meant that the diameter of Huaji's bullets was 7.63mm, and the cartridges and cannon bullets currently used by the Chinese army were all 7.62mm.
In comparison, box gun bullets are 0.01 mm smaller than flower machine bullets.
But this 0.01mm can be completely ignored.
Just imagine, the thickness of a human hair is still between 0.04~0.05mm, and the thickness difference between the two bullets is only 1/4 or 1/5 of a human hair. It is not a problem to use them interchangeably.
I must strengthen my body and become a sharpshooter!
