After everyone was almost done, Sokov raised his hand and pressed down for a moment, and the entire queue immediately became silent. "Comrades, I will take you down. In addition to resting, I will also seize the time to train to avoid similar situations in future battles. You must know that due to the limitation of logistics supply, not every battle can consume nearly 50,000 bullets..."
When a soldier heard this, he murmured in the queue: "What does it matter if the enemy can be destroyed, how many bullets can be consumed?"
Hearing the soldiers' comments, Sokov's face turned gloomy. He turned his head and said to Grissa, "Comrade Lieutenant, select ten best warriors from your company."
Although Grissa did not understand what Sokov was intended, he still selected ten warriors at the fastest speed. Sokov saw that they were all veterans from their outfits and military postures. He nodded, pointed to a row of targets in the distance with his hand, and said, "Each person has five bullets, and see who has the most rings."
Ten veterans lay in the shooting position, raised their guns and aimed at the bear target a hundred meters away, and fired after a brief aim. A series of crisp gunfires passed by, and the soldiers who had completed the shooting stood up one after another, stood in the distance, waiting for the target soldiers holding the signal flag to report the number of rings they shot.
The result came out soon: the lowest was 39 rings and the highest was 46 rings. Regarding this result, Sokov nodded and said, "These soldiers have good marksmanship and are quick and accurate in shooting. It's amazing!"
Hearing Sokov's praise for him, the veterans showed a gratitude on their faces. But Sokov's next words made their smile froze on their faces: "Lieutenant Selyosha, call Ji Na and Susanna over, and let them shoot a few more, and compete with these sharpshooters in the first company."
Not long after, two female soldiers in new military uniforms appeared in front of everyone. Looking at the military uniforms that were not in harmony on the two, Sokov thought to himself: The Soviet military uniforms are so ugly. The two beauties were wearing obviously big and two-sized uniforms, and their originally convex figures could not be seen. After coughing gently, he said to the two: "Jina, Susanna, each of you fifteen bullets have been fired, so that the male soldiers can see your shooting level."
The two female soldiers agreed loudly, and quickly ran down at the shooting position with guns. With a whistle, the two began to shoot at the same time. Ji Na's movement was done in one go, and in just ten seconds, she shot all five bullets in the gun. Then, she reloaded again, and shot in a squat and standing position one by one.
After their shooting, the soldiers who reported the target quickly reported the results of the two: Ji Na 147 ring and Susanna 145 ring. As soon as their results came out, the male soldiers standing aside to watch the fun were in an uproar. They did not expect that the two female soldiers who were not astonishingly beautiful could actually achieve such amazing results. Especially those male soldiers who had just completed the shooting not long ago and were complacent about their results, they were even more shocked by the results of the two female soldiers.
"Comrades, have you seen the shooting results of the two female soldiers?" Sokov asked at the soldiers.
"See!" replied sparsely in the queue.
"The sound is too small, I can't hear it clearly." Sokov said dissatisfiedly: "Repeat it again!"
"See!" The answer became neat and loud this time.
Sokov nodded and continued, "Maybe you will never be able to do it. Every bullet will destroy an enemy, but I hope that after this period of training, you can reach the level of losing five to ten bullets and destroy an enemy. Do you have confidence?"
It is still a bit difficult for this company with a large number of new recruits to eliminate an enemy with five to actual bullets. Therefore, after Sokov asked, he answered him in silence.
"Comrades, you join our army. In addition to defending our country, it is more important to build merits that will be remembered by future generations in this great war." Seeing that the soldiers did not speak, Sokov continued to say loudly: "But if you want to make merits, you must first learn how to protect yourself. I have just carefully seen that the fastest shooting speed of a male soldier was to finish five bullets in 20 seconds. However, our female soldier Ji Na only took ten seconds."
Sokov's eyes swept over the male soldiers who had participated in the shooting not long ago and continued: "Although the male soldiers' shooting results are also good, they are slightly inferior to the female soldiers, and their shooting speed is half slower. You should know that when shooting face to face with the enemy on the battlefield, if the shooting speed is slower, they may be killed by the enemy. German soldiers are veterans who have experienced battles. Their shooting skills are accurate. Once we cannot suppress them in firepower, we will suffer a major sacrifice."
When Sokov spoke to the soldiers, Grissa, who was standing aside, did not expect that the ten best gunshot soldiers in the company were not as good as the two newly enlisted female soldiers, which made him feel a little feverish. What does this mean? It means that with the same number of bullets, the two female soldiers can shoot more bullets at the enemy within the same time. On the battlefield, the more bullets the enemy will naturally have stronger lethality.
Thinking of this, Grissa hurriedly faced Sokov and said, "We lost the competition with the female soldiers in a row. But please rest assured, I will seize the time to train the troops and quickly improve the technical and tactical level of the soldiers to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops."
Regarding Grissa's statement, Sokov nodded with satisfaction and then announced: "Comrade Lieutenant, since you have understood what I want to express, then organize the soldiers to start training immediately. In a week, I hope to see the shooting level of the commanders and fighters in a company and to reach a new level."
"Comrade Brigade Commander, please rest assured." As soon as Sokov finished speaking, Grissa expressed his opinion to him: "Our company will train quickly and strive to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops in the shortest time."
When the soldiers of the first company broke into pieces and started training, Sokov and Belkin left the first company's station with the soldiers of the guard squad. Unexpectedly, they met Rotmistrov who had arrived in the car on the way.
After getting off the train leader Rotmistrov saluted, he asked curiously: "Comrade General, why are you here?"
"I was going to your command to learn about the situation of the battle in the early morning. Unexpectedly, the staff told me that you had arrived at the headquarters of the first company." Rotmistrov replied, "So I rushed over and wanted to see what you were doing here."
"The first company of soldiers had just retreated from the position, and their morale was a little low." Sokov said to Rotmistrov with a smile: "So the political commissar and I came here to see them and encourage them by the way."
Rotmistrov looked at the female soldiers in a convertible jeep sitting behind, and said with a smile: "I just saw the wonderful shooting performance of the two female soldiers through the telescope. They fought so well, and they had reached the level of snipers. How about it, Lieutenant Colonel Sokov, I don't know if you can give up them, so I'll give them to me. I plan to set up a sniper team in the army."
"Comrade General," Sokov said unceremoniously when he heard Rotmistrov wanted to dig his walls: "They are snipers in my guard company, and I can't give them to you casually."
"Okay, okay, comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I won't joke with you." Rotmistrov said with a smile: "When it comes to war, we are comrades who fight side by side; but when it comes to asking for two snipers, you become as stingy as Grandet."
"These two female snipers are treasures in our infantry brigade." Sokov replied firmly after Rotmistrov finished speaking, "So, under any circumstances, I will transfer them to other troops, even friendly forces fighting side by side with us."
After Rotmistrov made a joke, he turned the topic to the main topic: "How is Lieutenant Colonel Sokov, the German troops who launched an attack from the south of the city?"
"Most of the German troops crossing the river were killed by our army in front of the positions, and the rest fled to the upstream and downstream of the river." When Sokov reported to Rotmistrov, he suddenly remembered the cooperation of the tank army and quickly added: "The German troops launched two attacks on our positions, but neither succeeded. Just as they were waiting for reinforcements on the river bank to arrive, the artillery of the tank army launched a rapid artillery attack on wooden ships loaded with soldiers, causing significant losses to the enemy."
After introducing the situation in detail, Sokov expressed his gratitude to Rotmistrov: "Comrade General, on behalf of all the commanders and fighters of the 73rd Infantry Brigade, I would like to thank you for your support. If you did not have your artillery fire support in the early morning, we might have paid a greater price."
"Lieutenant Colonel Sokov, I have an idea." Rotmistrov waited for Sokov to finish his speech and took the initiative to ask him: "From the current situation, the enemy has suffered such a big loss and will not launch a new attack on us in a short period of time. Look, will we hold a military competition?"
"Carry a military competition?" Hearing Rotmistrov's proposal, Sokov couldn't help but ask curiously: "Comrade General, what competition do you think we should have?"
"We each gave fifty people to compete for shooting and thorns." Rotmistrov said to Sokov with a smile: "Which unit can win the final victory. I wonder what you mean?"
"No problem," Sokov couldn't refuse, so he agreed readily: "I wonder when we will compete?"
"How about tomorrow morning?"
