The Strongest Soldier: From Being Specially Recruited into the Army

Chapter 16: Shooting experience: aim intentionally, shoot unintentionally!

Shang Yong was obviously very clear about this. In extremely bad weather, he was able to hit full rings with 10 bullets at a distance of meters. Even though he had the Eighth Company, which was known as the "sharpshooter" and "special operations company", it was rare for them to be able to do this.

Shang Yong asked Chen Rulong, "How is the performance of this soldier named Su Chen in other subjects?"

"Excellent, top-notch in all subjects!" Chen Rulong said proudly.

Shang Yong's eyes lit up, "Let's wait and see when the new recruits are assessed. If Su Chen can still achieve this result, I'll have to send him to the Eighth Company no matter what!"

If we exclude the possibility that Su Chen's shooting result was an accidental event and an extraordinary performance, then there is no doubt that Su Chen will be a potential top soldier.

In fact, both the company commander Shang Yong and the instructor Zhao Chuan knew better than anyone that the possibility of extraordinary performance was very slim.

This kind of result cannot be achieved just by luck, or in other words, even if there is an element of luck, it cannot be achieved without strong basic skills to support it.

Chen Rulong nodded, "Understood!"

Zhao Chuan standing by sighed inwardly, thinking that Lao Shang was taking it for granted. Su Chen was sent here by the Northeast Tiger Special Operations Brigade to train, and he would definitely be poached when the time comes.

But even so, Zhao Chuan felt that he had to give it a try. Who said that poaching was not allowed? And the good soldiers couldn't all be taken away by the special operations brigade, right?
.........

The recruits had their first live-fire shooting exercise, some were happy while others were worried.

Especially with Su Chen being such a shining example, even if the others played well later, none of them could surpass Su Chen, so they seemed a bit mediocre.

All of a sudden, everyone in the company knew that there was a tough guy and sharpshooter named Su Chen in their recruit company!
"Brother Chen, if you have time, can you share with us how you can be so accurate?"

"Yes, Brother Chen, we are all comrades-in-arms, you can't keep it to yourself!"

"Brother Chen is awesome!"

"Brother Chen is so awesome! Not only is he physically strong, but his marksmanship is also amazing. Don't forget your brothers when you become rich in the future!"

"........."

Su Chen heard too many words like this when he was brought back from the disbandment.

He was also somewhat helpless, as if he had accidentally used too much strength and became the focus of the entire company? ! However, Su Chen had no intention of hiding the opportunity to show himself.

What's the trick of being ordinary in normal times and making a big splash in assessments? It's too stupid.

In fact, there are not many opportunities to show oneself in the army. For Su Chen, he will not miss any stage to show himself.

In the army, one is one and two is two!
Since the day he joined the army, Su Chen has required himself to be the best and the most awesome!

So, I would like to ask, when you can be high-profile, why should you be low-key?

This has never been Su Chen's character!

Opportunities are always something you have to fight for!

After returning to the dormitory after dinner, Chen Rulong held a short class meeting as usual, briefly summarizing today's shooting experience, mainly to comfort those recruits who did not perform well.

In the dormitory of the third squad of the first row of the recruit company, the soldiers sat on small stools and listened to Chen Rulong's speech:
"Let me tell you, our class's shooting performance today was just average! Your performance was within my expectations. Of course, there were external factors such as the weather, but let's not talk about that! I'm not very satisfied, you still have to practice! There are still more than ten days before the recruit assessment, so there's still enough time..." "I would like to praise Su Chen here. You all saw his performance today! He can no longer be described simply as excellent! Do you want our sharpshooter to pass on some experience to you?"

Su Chen was stunned.

But the recruits said in unison, "I want to!"

Chen Rulong smiled and raised his hand, "What are you waiting for? Why don't you give them a round of applause?!"

Bang bang bang...!
There was thunderous applause in the dormitory.

Chen Rulong looked at Su Chen and said with a smile: "Come on, sharpshooter, we are all comrades in the same class, why don't you share some tricks with your brothers?"

"This..." Su Chen said stiffly, "Okay! However, I'm not a sharpshooter. Like everyone else, this is my first time serving in the army, so I'll just share some of my personal experiences. If there's anything wrong with what I say, squad leader, please criticize and correct me in time."

"Okay, stop being so modest and tell me!" Chen Rulong said with a smile.

Su Chen hummed and said, "I think no matter what kind of gun it is, except for the recoil and power, the rest are almost the same. Whether you can shoot accurately, in addition to the stability of your hands and body, it may be the stability of your mentality!"

Mental stability? The recruits were a little confused.

But Chen Rulong's eyes lit up, "Go on!"

"The QBZ95-1 independently developed by Shenzhou is very easy to aim. The front sight and rear sight form a circle when aiming at the target, so it is difficult to miss the target. Whether the shot is accurate depends on the individual's aiming ability! There is nothing to say about this, it is purely a matter of practice, but I think that in addition to accurate aiming, one should also have a state of mind:
"I call it aiming, not firing!
"To put it simply, after we aim at the target, make sure the front sight, rear sight and target are in a straight line, hold or slow down your breath, and then you should stop thinking about the target and gently pull the trigger. In that state, you are not operating the gun, but treating the gun as a part of your body."

At this point, Su Chen shook his hand and gave an example, "It's just like when we use chopsticks, we don't think about how our fingers should control the chopsticks, it's the same principle!"

Aiming intentionally, firing unintentionally... After hearing what Su Chen said, Chen Rulong immediately said, "That's absolutely right!"

Seeing that the recruits were all looking at him, Chen Rulong explained:
"This concept is a truth that is well known and recognized by all excellent shooters! The biggest difference between a sharpshooter and an ordinary shooter is that a sharpshooter aims with his heart, just like Su Chen mentioned, 'treating the gun as a part of the body', thus achieving the state of unity between man and gun.

"On the contrary, new recruits and many soldiers with average shooting skills still rely on their eyes to aim.

"You must have heard many veterans say that a gun is alive. You may wonder how such a piece of iron can have life. But the gun is indeed alive, because it will become a part of your body and even your life!

"You may not understand this now, but you will understand it in the future. Now you just need to remember that what Su Chen said is correct! At the moment of firing the gun, you must remember to have no distracting thoughts and be relatively relaxed. Don't tense your nerves and body. If you practice according to this idea, your shooting skills will definitely improve greatly!"

After Chen Rulong finished speaking, he looked at Su Chen strangely!
The realization that guns are living things was something that even he had to play with after many years of gun play before he understood. It was so rare for a rookie like Su Chen to understand this truth!

Even if Su Chen really had the guidance of an expert, if he did not have enough talent, he would probably not understand this principle.

The recruits looked at Su Chen with admiration.

I didn’t expect Su Chen to know so much!

Aim with intention, fire without intention, see, it sounds awesome! That's great! Didn't you hear the squad leader say that this is the feeling that only a sharpshooter can have!

Isn't Su Chen too amazing? !
