Chapter 160 Exceptional Promotion
"James Murphy, you have not received any training as a recruit, so if you want to stay in my regiment, you must let me see your skills." The colonel asked the soldiers to stop shooting training, and then turned to Murphy Said, "This recruit told me that he can catch up with your progress. I don't care why he came to the 107th Infantry Regiment, but I want him to see your ability. If he can catch up, you come out."

The colonel randomly ordered a soldier to go out, "James Murphy, what he does you do, if you can achieve the same results as him, then you can stay, otherwise you just take your things and leave Step 107 corps."

"No problem, sir, but I haven't used this gun before. Can I watch him make it first?" Murphy's answer made the colonel very angry. The recruit was so arrogant.

"Okay, let the soldier do it once so that he can see clearly." The colonel agreed.

The soldier who was called out was just a new recruit, and he had only been in the barracks for a few months. The firearms training had been going on for a long time, and he seemed to be doing pretty well.The parts of the rifle are disassembled, then maintained, and then assembled.I can't say it's fast, I can only say it's quite satisfactory. I adjusted it and pressed a magazine. The M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle uses an eight-round double-row magazine. After the magazine is suppressed, the trigger is pushed and the safety is opened. "Bang bang..."

Shoot eight times in a row, with a few seconds between each time, and shoot a 150-meter target, and finally get seven or eight rings.Then there is the pistol, seven bullets for the target at a distance of 20 meters, using the M1911A1 pistol, which was improved after World War I.

The grenade training ground is right next to it. The soldiers threw the grenade to about 32 meters. At this time, the colonel said again: "Yes, the average standard has been reached. Did the recruits understand it? You can only enter my regiment with this score."

"No problem, sir, can we start?" Murphy still unloaded his luggage, and then took out his brand new M1 from the gun bag.

"Okay, let us see your skills." The colonel waved his hand and said.

Murphy immediately started to disassemble his firearm at a very fast speed, followed by maintenance, and wiped off the gun oil. In his eyes, all the structures and problems of the new gun were not missed.Then reassembled, adjusted the front sight, and then pressed a magazine into it, opened the safety "bang bang..." continuous design, and the empty magazine popped out with a "ding". Murphy pulled the trigger a few times to prove that there was no bullet, and put the rifle set aside.

Regardless of the results, he picked up the pistol again, this time at a faster speed, and the last seven bullets were fired in a row, and he threw the grenade at a distance of 50 meters. There was white powder there to indicate the target, and it fell right in the center .

"The 150-meter eighty ring for the rifle, the 20-meter seventy-meter ring for the pistol, and the 50-meter grenade hit the target." After hearing Murphy's results, the soldiers were in a commotion, and the colonel looked at Murphy in surprise.

"That's right, recruit, you do have something to be proud of. I keep my word, and you will be a soldier in our regiment from now on." After speaking, he looked at the platoon leader of these soldiers in the shooting range, "Second lieutenant, this recruit is yours now. He is a corporal, and let him complete all the foundations." The colonel suddenly admired Murphy very much, the army is like this, people with skills are always easy to stand out, of course, in the US military, your skin color must be white.

The colonel was about to leave, but he turned his head and looked at Murphy, "I'm giving you this gun. I hope that you will be the best in all the items in the next group assessment." The gun was given to Murphy, which made Murphy very surprised. Although it was also an M1911A1, it was very rare for the leader to give the gun.

"Thank you Colonel, you won't be disappointed." Murphy wants to show his strength here, otherwise, how will Captain America choose him in the future? He can only be selected if he performs particularly well. Murphy will not pin all his hopes on a prison escape. .

The second lieutenant platoon leader came over, "That's right, corporal. As a recruit, let the head of the regiment make an exception and be promoted directly to corporal, but you still have to suffer. I will keep an eye on you. Sergeant Dugan, he is yours, let him Learn everything as quickly as possible."

"Yes, sir." Dugan stepped out, and then the platoon leader announced the disbandment.

The bearded Dugan came over, "Come on, bring your things, someone in our platoon has been retired." Murphy felt relieved for a while, and after a long time designing by himself, he finally caught up with the future members of the Roaring Commando Relationship, this is very good, let's all be captured together!
In fact, the colonel's promotion to Murphy may not be due to his ability. If he didn't do things like this today, then he would have struggled to find a higher level. But what he did now was to be serious and responsible and keep his promise.In the end, the gift of the gun made him even more pregnant, and his reputation spread immediately. In the next few days, Murphy could hear the soldiers talking about the colonel and the recruits.

Of course, this may be what Murphy himself conjectured, and maybe the colonel didn't think so much, but anyway, Murphy has integrated into the 107th Infantry Regiment, and the soldiers are willing to ask some questions, but Murphy will naturally not say that he has friends Here it is.

The upper and lower levels are very strict, the colonel will not say much, the soldiers have no chance to ask, and the officer will not care about a corporal.Murphy breathed a sigh of relief, so as not to make up any lies in the future, saying that the information was wrong or something like that.

Timothy Duggan was the deputy of the platoon leader. Now the non-commissioned officer is promoted to sergeant, and the rest depends on the performance on the battlefield. After one or two battles, someone will be promoted to sergeant, and Murphy is now every day Be trained individually.

However, a few days later, Murphy entered the joint training of the platoon, followed by the training of the whole company. Needless to say, the speed of his learning, especially the various weapons including machines, mortars, mines, engineering shovels, foxholes, etc. skills to be mastered.Murphy didn't have much time, and Timothy Dugan trained him alone. Naturally, the progress was very fast. It took only two weeks or so for the 107th Infantry Regiment to leave the station.

The port of New York City was crowded with people. After a large number of soldiers assembled, they boarded the troop carriers in an orderly manner. They were going to North Africa.The soldiers are not very clear about the more specific situation, but Murphy knows that it is already September 1943, and their troops must go to North Africa to transfer supplies, and then attack Italy through Sicily.

The first battle of the 107th Infantry Regiment was there. As it advanced further, it finally encountered the troops of the Hydra. As a result, the entire advancing front was forced to retreat, and the 107th Infantry Regiment suffered heavy losses. Bad luck.
