South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Although all the leaders were surprised, it soon passed and the competition had to continue.

With Yuan Mu's experience as a precedent, everyone who followed was a little scared, especially the nine people in the same group with Yuan Mu. Since they were all stunned at the time, Zhang Chengwen organized them to compete again, but the result was not ideal.

But it doesn’t matter, because it’s not just one round. Everyone has one more chance, and the best result will be taken.

At this time, Wang Xin, who was queuing at the back, was very excited. As someone from the same compound as Yuan Mu, he felt proud of it. When he heard Yuan Mu's results, he even boasted to the people around him, as if it was his own result.

Two hours later, all ninety-eight people had taken turns and finished two rounds. Undisputedly, Yuan Mu was the first place. His pistol disassembly and assembly time was seventeen seconds, one second faster than the previous time, and his shooting score was fifty rings.

The second place was Xu Kai, a police officer from the Criminal Police Team under the Huatong Railway Public Security Bureau. His pistol disassembly and assembly time was 27 seconds and his shooting score was 49 rings.

The third place was actually this kid named Wang Xin. His disassembly and assembly score was thirty seconds, and his shooting score was also forty-nine rings.

There was a fifteen-minute break at halftime, and then the second event began: shooting at a moving target thirty meters away with a Type 54 pistol.

However, technology was limited at that time and there were no electric targets. People in the target trench would hold a stick with a large balloon tied to it and run back and forth.

The target of this balloon is quite large, but for Yuan Mu, it is too easy. The target of the balloon is too large, just as big as the eight ring on the target.

This time everyone was shooting one by one, the bullets were pre-loaded, and they could just get ready and shoot.

As one person went up one by one, the balloon thirty meters away kept moving. Some hit two, some hit three, and some even missed one. After all, most people had never done this kind of training.

It was Yuan Mu's turn. He remained in the same look, with his hands behind his back. When Zhang Chengwen blew the whistle, Yuan Mu quickly raised his gun and fired all five bullets in the gun within three seconds, and all five balloons exploded.

"Good!" Someone shouted "good!" More than 90 police officers and soldiers next to them applauded, and the leaders on the rostrum also applauded.

"Old Zhang! There are capable people in your team!" The deputy chief of staff looked at the director of the Railway Public Security Bureau next to him and smiled.

"No way! There are so many capable people in the army. We are just doing small things." The Public Security Bureau Chief laughed. Although he was being modest, he was very happy in his heart. Yuan Mu really made him proud.

In fact, this competition was held after he discussed it with the leadership team and reported it to his superiors. The main purpose was to see if there were any capable people among their subordinates, because they were often ridiculed by the local public security bureau.

But for now it seems that he is still quite satisfied. Apart from Yuan Mu who was an exception, others have also performed very well. He has also been to the competition held by the local public security bureau and they are indeed impressive, but his side is not bad either.

"Old Song! Not bad, right?" The director looked at a square-faced man in his forties and smiled.

This man is the director of the Ningyang Municipal Public Security Bureau. This time he came to see his old comrade make a fool of himself, but he didn't expect that the clown would be himself. Where did such a powerful figure come from?

"Haha! Lao Zhang! That's really good, but there are several more items behind this, right?" Director Song also laughed.

"Okay, let's continue watching." Director Zhang folded his arms and continued to look down.

More than two hours passed, and more than ninety people took turns twice. As expected, Yuan Mu was the first again, hitting all five targets in three seconds.

The second place was a police officer named Hu Jun from the Chengbai Railway Public Security Bureau. He hit all five targets, but it took him more than ten seconds.

Wang Xin was worthy of being the number one in the police academy. He also hit all five targets in sixteen seconds, ranking third.

The morning competition came to an end here. At noon, a chef prepared a big pot of rice on site. All police officers including leaders ate the same food. The competition would continue in the afternoon.

After a short break of more than an hour, all the police officers had a meal and took a short rest, and then the afternoon competition continued.

The third event of the competition involves disassembly and assembly of a rifle and shooting at a target one hundred meters away. The winner is the one with the shortest time and the most shooting rounds.

In fact, rifles are rarely used in police inspections, but that doesn’t mean you don’t know how to use them. You have to learn them.

The firearms used this time were Type 56 assault rifles, and each group also consisted of ten people.

This time it took much longer than the pistol. The structural parts of the rifle were larger and more complicated than the pistol. Almost everyone took more than twice as long.

Most police officers took more than two minutes, and some took three minutes. As for their shooting results, they were not ideal either, generally ranging around 60 to 70 rings.

Yuan Mu's result was still the best. His decomposition and combination score was one minute and ten seconds, and his shooting score was full rings with ten bullets, which won him a standing ovation again.

In particular, the deputy chief of staff and deputy political officer of the military region looked at Yuan Mu for a long time with binoculars, and then they whispered to each other.

"Lao Wen, what do you think of this Yuan Mu?"

"I feel good."

"Do you think we have a chance to recruit him? He is young, but his military accomplishments are very high. His marksmanship is very accurate. Although he only shoots at a distance of 100 meters, I have observed that he barely aims."

"What does this prove? It proves that he has a very good sense for guns, which is very valuable. If he is recruited to the army for three months of training, he will definitely be a top soldier!" The deputy chief of staff became more and more excited as he spoke.

"But can Mr. Zhang release the people?" Deputy Minister Wei asked worriedly.

"That's right. It's hard to find such a talented person. He may not be willing to let him go." The deputy chief of staff also sighed.

"But we have to try. Let's wait a little longer. There's still one day tomorrow. Let's see how his physical fitness and fighting skills are." Deputy Minister Wei suggested.

"Okay, let's do as you say!" The deputy chief of staff nodded.

At this time, the fourth competition was being carried out on the shooting range, rifle moving shooting, which was similar to pistol moving shooting, except that the gun was changed and the distance was farther.

This time they were still shooting at balloons, but it was much more difficult than with a pistol. They all had to use machine aim. From a hundred meters away, the balloon looked very small, and many people missed the target.

The results were extremely unsatisfactory, but Yuan Mu's results were still so good. He used eight bullets to shoot down ten targets. Two of the bullets passed through the balloons at the moment they overlapped, resulting in this result.
