Now, Hou Jun is only one step away from success - as long as the latter two projects maintain their own standards, then his dream will come true!
Hou Jun's dream sounds simple, that is, to participate in an international special forces competition and win glory for the country.
This is of course a relatively lofty statement.
In fact, this dream was initially a little romantic and full of youthful hormones.
Before joining the army, Hou Jun had a crush on the beauty of his village, whose name was Miao Xiuxiu.
Wherever there is water and soil, there are people. The high loess slopes of Shanxi and the aged vinegar there have raised many beautiful young girls.
Miao Xiuxiu's skin is particularly good. It is white and rosy and makes people feel like she can squeeze out water when pinched. As long as she smiles, the pair of characterful little tiger teeth on her upper jaw will be revealed.
Miao Xiuxiu and Hou Jun have known each other since they were young. They were childhood sweethearts from elementary school to high school classmates.
Hou Jun, who graduated from high school with average grades, chose to join the army, while Miao Xiuxiu was admitted to a provincial university. Although it was not a prestigious university, she was still a college student.
The love hidden in Hou Jun's heart began to sprout in junior high school, and by the time he graduated from high school, it had already grown into a towering tree.
On the day before leaving, Hou Jun felt that if he didn't express his love, he would miss a good opportunity. He was going to a university, and the provincial capital was a world of flowers. Who guarantees that he wouldn't have such a romantic relationship on campus?
So he asked Miao Xiuxiu to go for a walk by the river at the entrance of the village, hoping to use this opportunity to do what he had always wanted to do.
They met each other at the edge of the small river at the end of the village. They chatted for a few words and somehow ended up in silence.
Keep walking along the river, keep walking.
After walking for about half an hour, the trees in the village were no longer visible, and Miao Xiuxiu stopped.
She turned around and looked at Hou Jun and said, did you call me out just for a walk? My legs are almost broken...
Hou Jun was panicked and embarrassed after hearing this. His confession, which he had rehearsed hundreds of times while hiding at home, ran away like a naughty child at this critical juncture. He never came back and could not be found...
He hemmed and hawed in a panic, his face turned the color of pig liver, and finally he said something incomprehensible: "Xiu Xiu, when I get to the army, I will definitely come back with a second-class merit to show you!"
have to!
Hou Jun made the mistake that every man makes, which is bragging.
Haikou boasted, but if he couldn't get back the second-class merit, his face would be on the ground.
Miao Xiuxiu seemed to understand the second-class merit, so she asked: "What is the second-class merit?"
Hou Jun actually didn't understand much himself. He was stunned for a long time before saying: "Anyway, he is the kind of person who is very arrogant. He can only get the honor by doing good results."
Seeing that Miao Xiuxiu was still confused, Hou Jun quickly explained: "Have you ever watched CCTV 6's programs? Only special forces who go abroad to compete abroad can achieve second-class meritorious service if they come back victorious!"
CCTV Channel 6 is a channel that combines agriculture and military affairs. Most people in the village like to watch the tips on getting rich, and they also watch those military programs.
Miao Xiuxiu didn't understand what second-class merit was and what it meant.
But she had seen the documentary programs on TV where special forces competed abroad, and she admired them.
That's a real man.
So she finally grinned, revealing the two fangs that made Hou Jun fascinated when he saw them, and said: "I know, those soldiers are awesome!"
This sentence "Awesome" immediately made Hou Jun feel a little elated, as if he had really worn the second-class medal of merit. He was so proud that he dug a hole for himself again: "Don't worry, I, Hou Jun, will do what I say and do."
I will never come back to see you again!"
have to!
This is another mistake that men often make. Not only do they like to brag in front of the person they like, they also like to dig holes for themselves.
Only when he arrived in the army did Hou Jun realize that second-class merit was so easy to obtain?
There is a joke among veterans that for third-class merit, you stand up and take it, for second-class merit, you lie down and take it, and for first-class merit, your family helps you pick it up.
Although this statement is somewhat exaggerated, it shows that it is not easy to receive awards for meritorious service, especially in peacetime, if you want to achieve second-class merit, it is as difficult as a diaosi trying to date Fan Bingbing.
Hou Jun's limbs are still intact and he can still stand. Therefore, after serving as a young soldier for more than nine years, he has only received third-class merit twice, but the second-class merit is still missing.
The promise made in front of Miao Xiuxiu by the river at the entrance of the village has not yet been fulfilled, but Miao Xiuxiu, who was dear to her heart at that time, married someone else and became the wife of a civil servant in the county.
Even so, Hou Jun still felt a knot in his heart. He always felt that if he didn't get the second-class merit promised by the river, he would never dare to go back to the village and raise his head as a human being.
With almost 10 years of military service, Hou Jun had two opportunities to realize his dream - to go abroad to compete and come back to perform meritorious service and receive awards.
As long as you get a ranking in a foreign competition, you won't get second-class results when you come back.
At first it was for second-class merit.
But later on, he gradually became less interested in second-class skills. He just wanted to go out and compete with foreign special forces to see who was better.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I will be able to close my eyes with peace of mind before I lie down in the coffin.
It's a pity that fate played a trick on him. He had two opportunities to compete abroad, but he missed them both perfectly.
The first time was because I happened to attend non-commissioned officer training and was unable to come back; the second time was because the Tigers were sent away to participate in joint exercises, and Hou Jun was busy with tasks, so he was unable to come back.
This is Hou Jun’s third time participating in the selection.
International competitions do not always select people from Army Group D. There are seven military regions across the country, so many armies, and each army has reconnaissance troops and various special forces. It is already very important to have the opportunity for Army Group D to participate in the selection.
Not bad.
So for Hou Jun, who has been in three rounds, this may be the last chance to step onto the international competition stage and realize his dream.
The 300-meter run was completed in an instant. For a veteran, this was simply too easy.
Now, what lies in front of us is a barbed wire fence.
The barbed wire fence is only 30 centimeters above the ground. Because it is used to select candidates for overseas competitions, the requirements are very strict. The ones used are real ones with thick ballpoint pen refills. The spikes on it are extremely sharp. If the tactical movements are not standard, the spikes will easily hook.
If this happens, you will definitely lose the opportunity to win.
Hou Jun rushed to the barbed wire fence, leaned over and fell down in a swift movement. Like a snake, he slithered to the ground more than two meters away and slid under the barbed wire fence in a cloud of dust.
Partner Zhang Ao performed the same movements in one go, not much slower than Hou Jun.
"good!"
"pretty!"
Some of the soldiers from various brigades of the group army who were watching nearby could not help but shout "Hello" and clapped their hands for this beautiful tactical move.
When Wu saw this, he began to brag to the new recruits about the bravery of the old squad leader.
The conductor at the scene quickly turned around and pointed towards the row with the loudest applause.
The applause soon fell silent.
This is not allowed during the game and can easily interfere with the performance of the players.
But there is no doubt that in the eyes of everyone watching, Hou Jun will definitely win this time.
Climbing over the barbed wire fence, Hou Jun and Zhang Ao arrived at the designated shooting ground.
The instructor in charge of the referee had already raised the stopwatch and stood beside the two of them. The bullets had already been placed in the ammunition box on the ground - four in total. Hou Jun and Zhang Ao each needed to shoot two bullets and each served as the main shooter.
and an observer hand.
The two quickly loaded the bullets. This time, Zhang Ao was the first to lie down and act as the main shooter. The plan of the two was as follows - as a sniper, Hou Jun was obviously technically superior, so he stayed behind for the finale.
Zhang Ao fights first, which has a psychological advantage, because if Hou Jun fights first, if anything goes wrong, Zhang Ao's pressure resistance and skills may not be able to withstand it, and he may miss the target under great pressure.
.
Zhang Ao shot first, and even if he made mistakes, Hou Jun, as an experienced sniper, has stronger psychological quality and ability, and is absolutely capable of turning the tide - even if Zhang Ao misses one shot, Hou Jun can guarantee that both shots will hit.
This involves a technical issue - this time the G Military District received an order from its superiors to select three sniper teams with a total of six people within the army group to go abroad to participate in the competition. In other words, even if Hou Jun's team missed a shot,
If the same problem occurs to other teams, then they will be the first to arrive and shoot, which will give them a time advantage and at least they will have a chance to qualify.
Zhang Ao lay down and raised his gun.
Hou Jun on the side could only wait.
Because this subject stipulates that laser rangefinders cannot be used.
He glanced into the distance and saw that Zhong Rui's team was still running and was about 20 meters away from entering the shooting position.
"Left crosswind, wind speed 8M/S, full correction..."
Hou Jun pulled out a blade of grass, held it in his hand and took a look at it, and immediately obtained the environmental parameters.
The rules say it is 350 meters, so there is no need to report the distance. The shooting elements are set according to the distance of 350 meters.
Just as Zhang Ao's index finger began to press harder and was about to pull the trigger, Hou Jun suddenly stopped: "Wait!"
