In fact, solemnity means asking questions knowingly.
With Hou Jun's level, he cannot be just an ordinary sergeant squad leader.
Hou Jun was not modest and answered directly: "Yes, chief."
Zhuang Yan said: "Have you ever participated in an international competition?"
This question really embarrassed Hou Jun.
His face turned slightly red for a moment, but he finally answered truthfully: "No."
Zhuang Yan was slightly startled. He had served with countless soldiers, especially various top teams, training teams, prequalified teams for overseas competitions, etc.
Just by watching Hou Jun shoot a few shots, you can already tell his shooting level.
This level is first-rate within the group army and even within the military region. Moreover, Hou Jun is a sergeant with at least eight years of military service. How could he not get a chance?
He is either unlucky or his shooting skills are unstable.
"Why not?"
Zhuang Yan did not beat around the bush, he wanted to know what happened to the soldier in front of him.
Hou Jun said: "I'm unlucky. Something goes wrong every time... I had three opportunities. Either I went to other training camps or I accidentally missed it during the final selection."
Zhuang Yan nodded slightly, he understood the question at this point and there was no need to continue asking.
But since you have participated in the selection, it means you have learned some rules of international competitions.
"Do you know how to play 'memory' shooting?" he asked.
Hou Jun nodded: "Understood!"
Then he asked: "Chief, are you sure you want to use the 'memory' shot?"
In fact, memory shooting is a shooting subject that combines physical strength, memory, recognition, and sniper ability.
The distance of this subject is 400 meters. The target is a human-shaped target, but the target paper is very strange. It is a 50X50CM human-shaped target paper. There are 5 horizontal and 4 vertical circles on the human body parts, a total of 20 circles with a diameter of 8CM, and there is a circle in each circle.
Numbers, and the sniper must reach the shooting ground after running 400 meters, first get an "envelope", pull out a piece of paper inside, there are 8 numbers on the paper, write down these 8 numbers as quickly as possible
After the number, throw away the paper and stop looking at it, then immediately take the gun and shoot.
The scoring rule is to calculate the number of hits first. If the hit rates are equal, the side with less time wins.
The subject is not complicated, but it tests the overall quality of a sniper. No matter which aspect is not good, it will affect the final result.
Hou Jun was a little surprised that Zhuang Yan chose this subject.
After all, he didn't dare to say anything else, but physically he was quite confident that he would win.
Youth is an advantage.
Seeing Zhuang Yan choose this subject, Li Haiou couldn't wait to send his soldiers to the warehouse to get this special target paper.
The guard soldier said: "Commander, we don't have this kind of target paper in the warehouse in the camp."
Li Haiou immediately pointed to his car and said: "Ask Xiao He to drive you to the teaching team to get it. They have just held a training camp. There are so many!"
Seeing how enthusiastic Li Haiou was, Shi Song could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
It's easy to get things done if you have a car. The teaching team said it was not far away, more than a kilometer away, and it was just a quick drive away. In less than fifteen minutes, the target paper came back.
There were more soldiers on the scene.
Not only the second battalion, other battalions heard that Madman Zhuang was going to have a live sniper confrontation with Hou Jun, the first sniper of the group army, and they immediately stopped training and gathered and led the team to the shooting range.
It's no wonder, not to mention that the cadres of E Division especially remember Madman Zhuang, but also that a senior colonel and a sergeant engaged in a shooting confrontation. This kind of thing has never been seen by many people.
The cadres who knew Madman Zhuang's background were out of curiosity and wanted to see who would win between him and Hou Jun.
Those who don’t know think that Colonel Zhuang is acting rogue and using his official position to oppress others. If you are a dignified person with a salary of 24 cents, and you are fighting against a sergeant, will they dare to defeat you?
The new recruits were just watching for fun, the senior colonel versus the sergeant, the blue army chief of staff versus the top sniper of Group A. Such a huge identity gap is exciting to think about!
Upon seeing this, Shi Song quickly asked the cadre on duty to organize everyone to retreat to the designated viewing venue. After all, the subject of "memory shooting" requires a very open venue.
Finally, the starting point of the competition was set next to the rostrum of the large playground, and the distance from there to the shooting ground line of the shooting range was exactly 400 meters.
While making preparations, Shi Song came over and asked Zhuang Yan with concern: "Chief of Staff Zhuang, are you going to fight against Hou Jun in these clothes?"
Zhuang Yan was adjusting the elastic band of his carrying equipment. After hearing what Shi Song said, he lowered his head and looked at his attire.
I came here to talk to Shi Song today, so I wore formal clothes, casual pants, a shirt, and a pair of leather shoes.
He couldn't help but feel happy, and said to Shi Song: "Look... my luggage is still in the guest house, how about... Lao Shi, can you help me find a pair of training shoes?"
Shi Song asked: "What size shoes do you wear?"
Zhuang Yan said: "43.5."
Shi Song smiled and said: "What a coincidence, he is just like me."
He turned to the orderly and asked the orderly to run back to his room at the regiment headquarters to get a pair of training shoes. He turned back to look at the solemn training short-sleeved man who had adjusted his carrying equipment and took off his shirt to reveal the base layer underneath.
After thinking about it for a while, I finally couldn't help but ask: "Actually... you don't need to compete with that guy Hou Jun in terms of sniper expertise. He is a good sniper. When it comes to sniper expertise, no one in our division can match him."
Zhuang Yan took off his shirt, put on his individual soldier uniform, and said, "Actually, I'm also very itchy..."
After that, he looked around and whispered to Shi Song in a somewhat mysterious voice: "No one in our brigade has been willing to fight with me in the past few years. To be honest, I am lonely. I can only practice with myself when I practice guns."
."
"Pfft——" Shi Song was happy.
He had never seen such a strange cadre. He didn't care about his status as a senior colonel. He seemed to enjoy the feeling of competing with soldiers on the same field.
In fact, how did he know that the reason why no one had a shooting confrontation with Zhuang Yan was because everyone in the Blue Army Special Forces Brigade, whether they were cadres or soldiers, would start to doubt life after competing with him for a period of time.
Because you lose.
Always lose.
There's no way to win.
It's not that others deliberately gave way to solemnity, but that they really lost.
Playing chess is fun only when you meet your opponent. If you keep losing wildly, it will become very boring in the long run. If you lose too much, it will be like a dream. You wonder if the self who was a good gunner before really existed.
For a while, the snipers of the Blue Army's Special Forces Group discovered a frustrating phenomenon. No matter how hard they worked and how hard they practiced in secret, Chief of Staff Zhuang was just a little better than themselves.
Just a little bit, each confrontation is either one or two links faster or one or two seconds faster. If you improve, he will improve. As the tide rises, all boats will rise.
Only later did I discover a cruel truth - it turned out that the chief of staff had been letting things slip!
Boring!
Really boring!
Therefore, no one is willing to go to the shooting range to have fun with Zhuang Yan anymore.
Being invincible is also lonely.
Now, Zhuang Yan finally found an opponent in Division E who was willing to fight with him with all his strength and without leaving any room for error.
How could Shi Song understand this kind of happiness?
In addition, solemnity actually has another meaning, which Shi Song couldn't think of, but he couldn't say it directly to his face...
The training shoes were delivered quickly.
Zhuang Yan put on his shoes, which fit well.
He thanked Shi Song, then picked up his gun and walked towards the starting point of the competition.
Li Haiou then came over and asked Shi Song: "Deputy Chief of Staff, do you think he can win?"
Shi Song suddenly turned his face, looked at Li Haiou, and then sighed: "Li Haiou, don't underestimate me. I think Chief of Staff Zhuang... four words - unfathomable."
