The next day, the shooting continued.
On the third day, the shooting continued.
On the fourth day, I changed the subject and threw grenades.
That kind of wooden handle grenade is not outdated at this time.
"Grenade throwing training and live ammunition only last one day, training in the morning and actual throwing in the afternoon." There was a box of ammunition at Xu Chengjun's feet. Li Long glanced at it and saw that it said "training ammunition".
"Now each person continues to throw, and rests on one side after throwing forty meters. If he can't throw, he continues to throw."
Li Long remembered that he later heard that after the 1990s, recruits in the army were trained with grenades. The standard for throwing is thirty meters. Now Xu Chengjun has raised the standard by ten meters. I don’t know how many people are qualified.
Xu Chengjun gives a demonstration to everyone. There was someone shooting target a few hundred meters next door. The dam in the north of Dahaizi is a semicircle, with a total length of two to three kilometers, so there are several villages that can train here at the same time.
Everyone had been shooting two days ago, so they didn’t pay much attention to the sound of the gunshot. Xu Chengjun’s voice was also very loud, and he said in the local dialect:
“Watch it, I will demonstrate it once. Now We throw here on the flat ground. The red flag is 40 meters away. Each person throws three times and takes the closest distance."
Well, Li Long felt that the standard was a little stricter. Usually, the best result is obtained in three practical exercises, but no matter how good he is, he will get the worst result.
Drawing a line at random under his feet, Xu Cheng, a tall soldier, took a throwing posture and threw it into the air. The grenade rolled and flew out.
The impact point caused a piece of snow to be thrown up, and everyone could see it, about ten meters further than the red flag.
More than fifty meters away.
Xu Chengjun shook his head and said:
"I haven't practiced in the past few years, and my hand strength has become weak. Okay, you guys come one by one. After one class has finished throwing, pick it up and continue with the next class. Those who have not thrown more than 40 meters, stand aside."
< br>It is right for Xu Chengjun to be so strict. After all, they are all based on the basic militia. If you're not shooting enough, practice.
There were ten people in a class, six passed forty meters and four did not. Three of the four who failed were under the age of 20, a little younger than Li Long. However, Li Long looked at it and found that the closest throw was 35 meters, and it was obviously a problem with the throwing method.
Throwing a grenade is not just about throwing it with all your strength. You also need to pay attention to the angle and force technique. If you throw with all your strength, it will definitely not go far if you throw it too high, and it won't work if you throw it too low.
The four unqualified ones went to pick up the bullets. When they came back, except for one who was smiling and talking to others, the other three were dejected.
Xu Chengjun said nothing and waited for the second class to start voting.
Li Long thought he should be able to throw forty meters, right?
As the squad leader, he was the first to throw. Fortunately, I have experience with this thing. I tried it with my feet on the spot and found a place that was not slippery - when one of the four people made one of his shots earlier, his feet slipped. As a result, he was still a few meters away from the red flag. The others I submitted both times, but considering the worst result, there was nothing I could do.
Feeling firm and not slippery under his feet, Li Long tried the grenade. It was not very heavy, so he pulled it back and threw it out with all his strength.
About forty-two-three meters.
Feeling that he still had enough energy left, he bent down and picked up another one. This time he got used to it, and then threw it out, forty-five or six meters.
The third one was thrown more than fifty meters.
The one that the previous class threw farthest was one or two meters closer than Xu Chengjun. This time Li Long threw it directly between the two.
"Not bad." Xu Chengjun said with a smile, "Xiaolong is OK."
Li Long smiled, waved back, signaled the next person to come, and then threw it aside. The man sat down there.
Others were chatting, and two of them praised Li Long, saying that he could throw it far enough and might be selected as a bombardier in the army.
Li Long knew that there were no bombardiers in the army, so he smiled and passed the news with others.
Although Li Long is regarded as a legend in the team and rarely talks about it, sitting together, everyone talked about various things, and they were actually pretty much the same. However, Li Long had a radio at home and knew more about national affairs. He soon became the central figure among these people.
The Chinese people have been paying close attention to national affairs since I don’t know when. In the past, I would occasionally play some music through the loudspeaker, and newspapers could be circulated among the team.
Now that we have radios, we could know many things back then. For example, this year the women's volleyball team won the World Championships for the second time in a row. For example, according to this year's census, the number of Chinese people exceeded one billion. For example, the country began to form an armed police force this year. For example, the 12th National Congress was held this year. Nuclear submarines successfully launched missiles underwater. , the chief designer also met with Iron Lady and more this year.
Many things are not known accurately to ordinary people, but with the radio and the popularity of some short videos and Internet platforms in later generations, Li Long knew these things in quite detail.
He then told everyone some things, which can be regarded as popularizing national events.
Li Long hasn't finished speaking yet. The second squad's bombing has ended, and two people have failed.
Li Long smiled and said to the two people:
"You two should practice hard for a while. Try to shoot it in one shot next time. You should have taken a good look at the captain just now. The posture and force of the throw, as well as the angle of the throw, are not just thrown into the air casually, nor are they thrown flat and far away..."
As he spoke, he gestured to the two men to look in the direction of the throw.
As a temporary squad leader, Li Long didn't want to compete for much honor, that's all. Xu Chengjun watched the people on the side without saying anything, and just asked the third team to come over and continue throwing.
Tao Daqiang was in class three. Li Long paid close attention to him. He threw the ball fifty-five or six meters, which was further than Xu Chengjun's throw.
The strength is really strong.
Yang Yongqiang was in Li Long's class, and his throw was almost 412 meters, just barely crossing the line.
"Okay, here are the unqualified people from you, and each of you will vote five more times." As a military cadre, Xu Chengjun did a good job in speaking out. He didn't want to ask for any advice from others, so he just said Follow your own ideas.
Li Long and the others were taken to the top of the dam.
There are two boxes of grenades there.
However, it is definitely not possible to throw bombs at the moment. We have to wait until those who failed to throw have finished their throws and unify before throwing bombs.
After all, the explosion radius of this thing is relatively large, and the shrapnel flies relatively far, so it cannot blow up people.
At this time, the water in Dahaizi has not reached two-thirds of the summer level, but the north side is deeper and the ice layer is thicker. Li Long was wondering whether he could burst the ice later. .
It's almost Jiajiu now. The ice layer is at least twenty or thirty centimeters thick, and the power of the wooden handle grenade is not small. Li Long plans to take a look later. If I could really blow up a hole, I might be able to pick up some fish.
Ten minutes later, Xu Chengjun came over chatting and laughing with those people. The two men were holding the box of the trainer's grenade. It seemed that they had practiced well.
Although there is no food to eat at this time, the work is really hard work. Most teenagers have been doing heavy work at home since they were teenagers, so they must have the strength.
"Okay, without further ado, let me tell you the essentials. Most of you voted last year, and the standards are higher this year. When you vote, remember to unscrew the lower cover, take out the tab, and buckle on your little finger, then hold the handle and throw it down
After Xu Chengjun finished speaking, he took out a live ammunition from the opened box and held it up to demonstrate to everyone.
He unscrewed the lid, dug out the oil paper, took out the tab inside, put his little finger through the tab, then held it with his right hand, raised his head to everyone, and then pointed at the ice layer of the dam. Just threw it over there.
There are no red flags there now, but Li Long visually estimated that the throw must be at least fifty meters.
The grenade landed on the ice and snow, rolled twice, stopped, and then exploded with a "boom". The smoke and snow powder were mixed together, blown into the air by the wind, and slowly dissipated.
"Three squad leaders came over and threw it first. One for each person. After throwing it, see if there are any leftovers, and then talk."
One squad leader threw it first, and threw it more than 40 meters. , successfully exploded, followed by Li Long.
Li Long was not nervous and looked at the grenade. The Type 67 wooden handle grenade was about the same weight as a trainer bomb. He unscrewed the cap, tore out the paper, took out the tab, put it on his finger, and tried it in the distance.
Far away, someone could be seen shooting, and there was a bang-bang-bang sound. Because it was daytime, the muzzle flash could not be seen, but the sound echoed between the dams, which was quite loud.
Li Long gestured with the grenade, and then threw it down the dam with all his strength.
Condescendingly, he actually threw it almost sixty meters away, startling himself!
“Boom!”
The grenade exploded in the farthest place. Xu Chengjun smiled and said:
“Xiaolong is good, this angle is better. Okay, third squad leader. ”
The third squad leader was obviously a little nervous, and his hands were shaking a little when he unscrewed the lid. Xu Chengjun looked at him and felt that he was a little embarrassed, so he patted him and said:
"Okay! The people in your class are watching, don't follow this Just like girls!”
After being patted by Xu Chengjun, the third squad leader felt relieved, and then when he officially threw it, he threw it for almost 40 meters.
It was quite satisfactory, but Xu Chengjun still gave him a kick.
The three monitors took the lead, and most of the people below were excited rather than nervous. After all, the impression of martial arts is engraved in one’s bones. Who wouldn’t want to throw one or two of these things in person?
Li Long was even thinking, if he threw one or two summers directly into Xiaohaizi, would it knock out a piece of fish?
So far, the grenades thrown have not really broken the ice. I don’t know if the ice is too thick or not powerful enough.
Of course there is another possibility, that is, the missiles are not landing at the same place, and at most they will cause cracks in the ice. This thing will be frozen tomorrow.
After everyone had finished throwing, there were still a few left. Xu Chengjun called a few squad leaders and those who had thrown farther away, such as Tao Daqiang, and threw them one after another, and then closed the team.
It sounds like the training is a bit fun, but if you have experienced it yourself, you know that such live-fire training is considered a success if nothing happens. This time when he went back, Xu Chengjun still had to report to the village.
Then the next day, Li Long received a notice from Xu Chengjun that this time the training was over, and there were new changes in the rural competition, or assessment.
There will be five iron-marked round targets set up on the top of the dam for rapid shooting - of course this is one of them.
As for the rest of precision shooting, everyone depends on their abilities.
"Xiaolong, I mean you don't want to participate in other things, just participate in this one. I think you can do it!"
Li Longxin said, Captain, you really think highly of me. ! (End of chapter)
