Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 781
Now that both Tang Dao and Colonel Gu agreed and offered their rewards, the contest representing the shooting levels of the Sichuan Army and the Northeast Army respectively was decided.

All the preparatory work has to be prepared by a special person. There is a wilderness near Dalinzhuang, and you can find a location at will as a shooting range.

The busy personnel are actually setting up wooden targets, and then clearing the front to prevent anyone from walking into the shooting area.

Tang Dao's first guard squad and Colonel Gu's guard squad were not deliberately selected shooting masters, but they were also composed of elite 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 members of a guard class to participate.

Colonel Gu put forward the rules of the game: "Commander Tang, I'm afraid it will take too long to let all the brothers in the two guard squads participate. How about this, let the two guard squad leaders lead the team, and then let them randomly choose 3 brothers from the opposing guard squad. People, a group of four, each with 10 rounds of magazines to empty, and then calculate the personal score based on the number of rings per person, and divide them into one, two, and three, and compare the opponents you choose. Winning or losing depends on both strength and luck.”

Hesitating to speak, he glanced at the officers and soldiers of the guards who were still standing upright behind Tang Dao. Colonel Gu surnamed with confidence in his eyes, "As for the honor of the Four Elements Regiment and our 622 Regiment, the military exploits already speak for themselves. The results on the training ground prove that if the general is passed on, it will only be a laughingstock, and please don't care about it, Captain Tang and the brothers."

Good guy, no wonder you can become the commander of the personal guard battalion of the general commander of the 49th Army!Compared with Gu Shaoxun's emotional intelligence and smooth handling of things, this man is definitely a capable person. Tang Dao wanted to applaud this man.

The words are like flowers, but the real meaning is just: to see the level of the elite shooting of you and me, not only the individual results, but also the overall results!
Although the Czech ZH-29 semi-automatic rifle is equipped with a small number of troops, China is still the country with the most semi-automatic rifles in the world. According to records, the entire China imported 10000 such rifles before the war began.

Not only the Northeast Army has equipment, but several German armorers also have a small amount of equipment.

The reason why the number of equipment in the world is small is not this kind of gun difference, but the fact that this rifle shooting concept developed more than ten years ago is fully ahead of this era and is not accepted by the public.

Moreover, this rifle is also flawed. When continuous shooting forms intensive firepower, the ballistic trajectory cannot be continuously stabilized due to the large recoil.

But the dense firepower output formed by the 10-round standard magazine of this rifle is definitely the best among rifles of this era.

Even, as a brother of the Czech ZB-26 light machine gun with almost the same locking system, bolt and gas rod structure, the ZH-29 semi-automatic rifle can also use the 26-round magazine of the ZB-20.

In a sense, the ZH-29 semi-automatic rifle is actually a light machine gun that saves weight and does not require a tripod.

With 10 rounds of large-capacity magazines, the total score of each soldier is 100 rings, and a team of four will naturally reach 400 rings.

Of course, Colonel Gu's move was not to deliberately suppress the Four Elements Group in terms of personal and total scores. What he meant was to remind Tang Dao and the first class of guards that they would be successful if they had one or the other. If they were all behind, it would be a bit embarrassing.

But they have also done enough foreshadowing, don't worry, no matter what, the result of the game will only appear here, and will never be passed on to the outside world. The name of the hero is proved by the Japanese head, and there is no need for this.

Every single word expresses one's determination to win, and makes the allies feel less domineering. How artistic are these words?This is of course the embodiment of wisdom in life.

Sure enough, an era of turbulent wind and clouds must also be an era of talents coming out in large numbers!Although Tang Dao has never underestimated this era, at this moment he has a deeper understanding from this soldier in his early 30s who is on the same level as him.

"Okay!" Tang Dao nodded, and turned to look at the first class of guards: "Zhen Laya, go pick someone!"

'Is it really spicy? 'what the hell?Colonel Gu and his guard squad officers and soldiers were slightly taken aback.

Officers and soldiers like to call nicknames with personal characteristics, such as Heizi, Laohei, Bailian, etc., and you can tell whether it is a black coal ball or a white face.But this one's so spicy! ' And it was the leader of the regiment, Tang Dao, who yelled it himself, and I always felt weird there.

"Yes!" Facing the strange eyes of the friendly army, a small but capable army sergeant strode out of the queue in response, gave a military salute to Tang Dao, and went straight to the guard squad of the 662 regiment, and ordered three times in sequence. Next: "I will invite these three brothers!"

In fact, since he joined the army, Zhen Laya, who was born in Guizhou Province, has seen too many similar eyes after hearing his distinctive name.

Guizhou Province is mountainous and the climate is hot and humid, so meat is not easy to preserve. Bacon, duck, and chicken are the only ways for people in mountainous areas to preserve meat.Zhen Laya's father is a mountain dweller who does not know a single word. Faced with the eldest son who was born, he scratched his head and decided to name him whatever he saw. , So there is the name of Zhenla duck.

After becoming an adult, Zhen Laya never blamed his father for choosing a random name. He was only lucky and grateful. At least, it wasn't Laji who hit his father's head at that time!
Laji, coupled with his "Zhen" surname, is a tragic name.

Seeing this army sergeant squad leader with a weird name choose so casually, the confidence gushing out of his eyes made the more than a dozen soldiers in the 662 regiment's security squad involuntarily look cautious.

The name is very strange, and the figure is not strong, but no matter the steps or the aura displayed by this army sergeant, he can show these soldiers who have also experienced the cruel battlefield that he is a good soldier and a strong soldier.

That is the intuition of a warrior!
And their instincts were right!

Zhen Laya's ability to become the squad leader of the former Lengfeng's sharp knife squad did not rely on old comrades in arms, it was pure strength.

As a senior soldier of the 88th Regiment of the former 524th Division, Zhen Laya, who has only been in the army for more than a year and a half and is still a recruit, performed absolutely remarkable on the Songhu battlefield. One of the four soldiers in the Battle of the Sixing Warehouse even retreated to the warehouse after stabbing a Japanese soldier in the hand-to-hand battle led by Tang Dao in the Sixing Warehouse.

The reason why he was only a sergeant in the army was that his rank was too low in the past, and he had already reached the highest rank of non-commissioned officer after being promoted to three ranks.

The fact that he was not promoted consecutively like Gu Xishui, Niu Er, and Yang Xiaoshan did not mean that his abilities were inferior to them, it was just that he didn't have a single characteristic that was dazzling enough to attract Tang Dao's attention.

Yes, Zhen Laya 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 he is not like Tang Dao in hand-to-hand combat. It is enough to kill a Japanese army under a full-strength battle, and it is not as flexible and fast as Gu Xishui's progress in terms of brains, so it is enough to let him command an infantry squad.

Nothing is top-notch, but nothing is bad. It seems mediocre, but on the battlefield, such soldiers may be the ones who can survive to the end on the battlefield.

Not everyone can become the so-called King of Soldiers. Zhen Laya should be the representative of ordinary soldiers. The balanced ability value is enough to ensure his survival on the battlefield. That is the key to victory in battle.

No matter how awesome it is, it is useless to die on the battlefield.

And if you want to say that Zhen Laya's shooting skills are not strong, that is relative. For example, the "abnormal" level shooters such as Tang Dao and Niu Er are naturally not a star and a half, but if you know that Zhen Laya has the ability to shoot on the Qinglongling battlefield Once with the 250-type rifle in his hand, he shot and killed 2 Japanese soldiers [-] meters away. No one would dare to ignore the ugly and strangely named army sergeant in front of him.

Obviously, the big-armed sergeant and guard squad leader from the 662 regiment was not as relaxed as Zhen Laya. After carefully scanning the faces and figures of the guards, he selected three of them with extreme caution.

After all, the requirements of the officers of the two sides are different. Tang Dao on the side of the Four Elements Group only asks for an extra meal if they get the third place, but their officers are bound to win. If they don’t win, the big guys will have to drink at Zhuangkou tonight. Northwest wind.

He had a good eye for picking people, and even picked three of them, all of whom were tall soldiers.

Tall means that individual soldiers are more powerful in combat, because they are strong enough and have stronger control over guns, but such soldiers are often not gunners but machine gunners.

If it was an ordinary guard, he would of course use the opposite idea to select people, but Tang Dao just said frankly that his guard company was reorganized from an infantry company as a whole before it was expanded a few days ago.

Correct thinking leads to correct results. Among the three people selected, one is a light machine gun shooter and the other is a grenade shooter. Both of them rarely use rifles, but he picked the wrong one. The precision shooter of the first guard squad is also a veteran of the original Four Elements Battalion.

But since two of the four are destined to be inferior to soldiers who commonly use rifles in shooting, they can basically guarantee victory in terms of overall results.

Although one side is casual and the other is cautious, the attitudes of the two sides before the competition are different, but Colonel Gu did not blame him for being cautious. In his eyes, this is actually similar to the battlefield. The soldiers treat themselves carefully Fighting is the most correct choice, it would be embarrassing to lose if you show your momentum.

The temperament is a little arrogant but pragmatic enough!Tang Dao's evaluation of this peer 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 has been defeated repeatedly, it has been defeated repeatedly. This pragmatic quality is essential.

The soldiers from both sides who participated in the archery competition have been selected. The squad leader Zhen Laya led the sergeants, light machine gun shooters, grenadier shooters, and precision shooters. They are all elite veterans, basically representing the four The highest level among ordinary officers and soldiers in the regiment.

The reason is very simple. If Zhen Laya and the precise shooter named Sun Xingjia are not mentioned, if they can't do it, the ordinary officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment, except for a limited number of perverted shooters, won't be able to do it. The machine gun shooter was originally a rifleman, and he was very familiar with rifle shooting.

More importantly, when everyone picked up the ZH-29 and began to check the guns, Shen Laoliu almost didn't laugh out loud. The seemingly high-end semi-automatic rifle in his hand was actually incomparable to him. The familiar ZB-26 light machine gun is not too different. If I have to say the difference, it is just lighter weight, longer gun body, and no tripod. The shooting method of pulling the trigger to shoot a bullet is not just He shoots with ZB-26!

As the main shooter of the light machine gun of the first guard, Shen Laoliu has a record of killing a Japanese officer at 400 meters. It is really because the reflection of that guy standing in the trench and observing the battlefield with a telescope is too conspicuous. He is wrong. He was really sorry for taking a shot.

And Shen Laoliu also received a popular compliment because of this shot: I really convinced you, Laoliu!
Today, Shen Laoliu decided to bring this buzzword to the 662 regiment to let them know how powerful Laoliu is.

"Brother, remember! Brother, my name is Lao Liu!" Shen Lao Liu reminded the sergeant and security squad leader of the 662 regiment without thinking before going to the shooting position.

"Oh! Brother Six, regardless of winning or losing, if we meet again in the future, I will treat you to drink and eat meat!" The sergeant squad leader, who is also from the Northeast, heard the Northeast accent of his fellow countryman, and patted him with a little thought. The shoulders of the 'opponent'.

Seeing fellow villagers in a foreign country, the cliff is warm, and the army sergeant is very Chinese.

By this time, all ten wooden targets had been erected, and the ten-ring target paper similar to the future was also pasted on the wooden targets.

Considering that the ZH-29 semi-automatic rifle was used by the soldiers for the first time, Colonel Gu was not too harsh, and the wooden target was placed 150 meters away. Otherwise, if one of these so-called elites did not even hit the target, No matter which regiment they appeared in, the faces of the two chief officers were not good-looking.

This is not some kind of emotional dispute, but I just want to judge the combat strength of the opponent's infantry regiment through this, there is no need to make a dull face, right?

There was no set time, but the soldiers who participated in the skill competition knew that after everyone else had finished fighting, it would not do for them to lie on their stomachs. All 1 bullets must be fired within 10 minute at most.

They are all veterans. After checking their firearms and making sure they won't jam, they give orders!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" There were gunshots on the temporary shooting range.

Neither Tang Dao nor Colonel Gu used binoculars to watch the target paper in the distance.

Taking the initiative to hand over a cigarette to Tang Dao, lit it with a match, the colonel surnamed Gu who slightly exhaled a puff of blue smoke said with a light smile: "It seems that Captain Tang has a lot of confidence in your family!"

"Hey, why not Head Gu!" Tang Dao responded with a smile. "Based on this alone, it is not a fluke that the 662 regiment was able to fight against an infantry regiment of the Japanese army with a single regiment on the Shanghai-Hangzhou highway without retreating all day and night! It's a pity that regiment leader Gu died for the country, hey!"

Tang Dao was talking about the colonel commander of the 662nd Regiment who died in the battle and was martyred for the country. It was recorded in the battle report that the army colonel named Gu Huiquan had personally led the guard company several times to support the front line when the battle was fierce on the front line. On the eve of the evacuation, how can it not be a pity to be hit in the chest by a shrapnel and sacrificed?
This is undoubtedly a compliment to the 662 regiment.

But to Tang Dao's surprise, Colonel Gu, who had a relaxed posture, suddenly fell silent. The brim of his steel helmet and drooping eyelids blocked his gaze, and the blue smoke from cigarettes also covered his face.

The only sound in the empty shooting range was the sound of semi-automatic rifles still firing.

Tang Dao, who was slightly astonished, seemed to have caught something. It seemed that the colonel in front of him was also surnamed Gu.
After a while, Colonel Gu looked up at Tang Dao, "I'm sorry, Huize was a little emotional just now, please don't misunderstand Mr. Tang."

"Head Gu and that head Gu?" Tang Dao asked tentatively.

"That's my brother!" Colonel Gu looked forward, his expression unchanged, and he tried his best to appear calm.

However, the slightly bulging muscles on his cheeks revealed his sadness.

Tang Dao finally understood that the indifference of the new colonel leader when he met him for the first time might not be due to his personality, but his brother had only passed away in January, so it was difficult for him to smile in front of a stranger.

"Leader Gu Huiquan is a hero of the nation! His name will definitely be on the Victory Monument in the future! I also hope that Head Gu will mourn!"

Tang Dao has no mercy, no comfort, and directly states his views and evaluations!

In such an era, the military is also a profession to support the family. It is not uncommon for brothers to join the army, and it is not uncommon for fathers and sons to join the army. There are also such examples in the Tang Dao Four Elements Group.

It's just that when they went to the battlefield and watched their loved ones being shot and died in front of their own eyes, the pain was so painful that no one but themselves could empathize with it.

This is true for soldiers, and it is the same for your commander.

Perhaps what they want is not consolation, but the world's recognition of their loved ones who died in battle, at least, not in vain!
Just like Shitou, Leng Feng's younger brother who died in battle, Tang Dao specially won a Baoding Medal for him in recognition of his bravery.

That is the affirmation of the dead and the greatest comfort to the living. His relatives, who died for the country and the nation, can be remembered, and he is not dead yet.

"Thank you!" Colonel Gu turned his head and stared at Tang Dao with a serious face, his eyes showed gratitude.

This is exactly the honor he has been striving for for his brother!
I just didn't expect that when the military exploits were reported to the Ministry of Military Affairs, someone would say that the 662 regiment only stopped the Japanese invaders for a whole day and night, and finally lost its position. Reporting military exploits?
That was simply too deceiving, the commander lost his temper for this, and almost wanted to quit, but in the end he still considered that the war with the Japanese invaders was imminent. The interests do not match, so he can only swallow this breath.

Tang Dao, the leader of the friendly army, undoubtedly expressed his opinion of his elder brother the most.

At this moment, the gunfire from not far away gradually stopped.

The eight soldiers on both sides got up from their respective shooting positions one after another and stood upright in place.

Just wait for the communication soldiers to remove the target paper and count the number of rings shot by each soldier.

"Captain Tang, regardless of winning or losing, you are my friend, Gu Huize!" Seeing his soldiers take the target paper from afar and run towards this side, the colonel surnamed Gu suddenly said.

Sincere eyes!

"To each other!" Tang Dao grinned.

Tang Dao likes soldiers like this. Although the city is deep and sophisticated, he has the strength of a soldier!
