My Military Career in a Parallel World

At four o'clock in the morning, everyone got up without Li Gang calling them, including Jiang Chen, and no one stayed in the dream space.

The charm of the gun is so great that even after a whole night, everyone is still too excited to control themselves at the thought of finally being able to touch the steel gun that they have been dreaming about.

However, the waiting process was extremely long. Two hours seemed like two days, two months, or even two years to everyone...

Every few seconds, someone would look up at the clock on the wall, hoping that time would pass quickly.

But the more this happens, the slower time passes...

Finally, a loud call sounded, and the whole dormitory building instantly became lively. The recruits quickly dressed and lined up without the squad leader's instructions. They looked at their squad leader with anticipation, waiting for the order to set off.

"Why are you so impatient? Come with me to the warehouse to get your equipment first." Facing everyone's expectant gazes, Li Gang said with a smile.

Helmets, backpacks, bullet belts, water bottles...

Except that they had no camouflage on their faces and lacked the weapons that soldiers must have, they looked almost the same as the soldiers from the police detective company that Jiang Chen had seen yesterday.

Today is not special, but the recruits present will never forget this day in their lives.

Loud military songs echoed in the sky, and a group of new recruits stood on the playground with their heads held high. The morning sun pierced through the darkness and shone on their bodies, as if it had put a golden coat on them.

Company commander Ge Hongtao came to the front of the team, looked at the fully-armed recruits, and said loudly: "Today, I want to congratulate you. You are one step closer to becoming a real soldier!

The gun is a soldier's second life. Are you ready now? !"

"Ready at all the time!"

Ge Hongtao nodded with satisfaction and announced: "Now, let's begin the gun presentation ceremony!!"

"Zhao Hongbin!"

"To!"

The platoon leader walked to the table nearby and slowly uncovered the silk cloth covering it under the gaze of everyone.

Neatly arranged and polished to a shine, the Type 81-1 automatic rifles came into view.

The black muzzle, matte-colored gun body, smooth lines, and compact structure seem to have some kind of magic that makes people unable to take their eyes off it.

"He Jiahui!"

"To!"

"You are now granted a Type 81-1 automatic rifle, gun number: *******, please take it!"

The ceremony of awarding guns to new recruits began, and one by one the new recruits were called and received the guns from their squad leaders.

There were more than a hundred recruits in the company, and the whole ceremony lasted for more than an hour.

If they had to stand in military posture for such a long time under normal circumstances, some people would have given up long ago. However, today was different. The sun slowly rose and shone on their backs. Sweat dripped down their cheeks, but no one felt tired.

There was no other reason. Everyone's attention had long been attracted by the black rifles in front of them.

"Jiang Chen!"

"To!"

Finally it was his turn. Jiang Chen roared and took a step forward to the front of the team.

"You are now granted a Type 81-1 automatic rifle, gun number:, please take the gun!"

"Yes!"

Holding the cold steel gun in his hand, the excitement that had been suppressed in his chest burst out completely.

Feeling the slight coolness coming from the gun, Jiang Chen's heart was burning with heat.

"Taking over this gun means taking over the mission and glory. I will definitely listen to the Party and follow the Party! I will be loyal to my post and will win the battle and defend the country!"

Childhood dreams and regrets from past lives turned into a roar and burst out from the throat.

"Li Qiang!"

"Chu Fei!"

……

Everyone in Class 5 took the guns from Li Gang one by one and made a promise.

When everyone got their own guns, Ge Hongtao, who had been fully armed at some point, walked to the front of the team again.

There is only one last step left in the gun-awarding ceremony.

Facing the red flag, with their right fists raised above their heads, hundreds of people, led by Company Commander Ge Hongtao, recited in unison the oath they had already memorized.

"I swear!"

"I swear!"

"We must cherish weapons and equipment as we cherish our own lives, strictly abide by the regulations on the management of weapons and equipment, correctly operate and use weapons and equipment, keep the secrets of weapons and equipment, and ensure the safety of weapons and equipment..."

The solemn oath echoed over the recruit camp. The soldiers standing guard at the door passed by the troops doing drill and couldn't help but recall the scene when they were first awarded the guns.

"Congratulations!"

This is a greeting from a veteran.

Congratulations to the new recruits for being one step closer to becoming real soldiers, and also congratulations to them for facing even more severe tests.

After the oath, the instructor, who was also fully armed, turned to face everyone. Looking at the red-faced and excited recruits, he said loudly: "Comrades! Comrades! Congratulations, from now on you will no longer be an ordinary citizen!

Your identity has changed!

You are soldiers and fighters!

The moment you take over the gun, it also means that you accept the responsibility given to you by the motherland and the burden given to you by the people!

I hope you can shoulder this responsibility, and in the near future, you can use the guns in your hands to protect our motherland and the people behind us!! "

"Be loyal to the motherland and the people!!!"

A group of rookie soldiers who had just picked up their guns roared in unison again.

At this point, the entire gun-awarding ceremony came to an end.

……

Looking at the new recruits who were holding their guns and refusing to let go, Li Gang smiled: "Now that you have your guns, I will teach you something new today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Ming was the first to answer: "Squad leader, what are you going to teach us? Are you going to take us to target practice?!"

Finally, they got their hands on the real thing, and everyone couldn't contain their excitement. If we hadn't been told last night that firing with an empty chamber would damage the gun, they would have long since fired a few shots to satisfy their desire.

"What are you dreaming about? Do you know how to shoot and aim? You want to go shooting!" Li Gang scolded with a smile.

"Everyone stay quiet. Jiang Chen, come with me to the warehouse to get the things."

"Yes!"

Jiang Chen quickly followed.

Before leaving the door, Li Gang turned around and said, "Don't forget the firearms rules we learned last night. If anyone violates them, you will lose your guns and replace them with sticks!"

They had originally thought of secretly firing a few shots for fun, or lying on the windowsill and aiming outside, but after hearing Li Gang's words, they all calmed down.

The guns were just in my hands and they weren't even warm yet, no one wanted to be replaced with sticks...

"Hey, what did you say the squad leader and the deputy squad leader went to get?" Since they couldn't play with guns, everyone could only chat.

"Could it be a bullet?"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Fei sneered, "You are dreaming. You are just happy to be able to touch a gun after just one week in the recruit company. You still want bullets..."

"Fei Zai, don't be so sure, as if you were a soldier. How can it be impossible? Our magazines are still empty. If you don't give us live bullets, you should at least give us some blank bullets." Li Qiang immediately became unhappy when he heard that. He still wanted to try what it felt like to fire a real gun.

"Haha, you also know about blank bullets." Chu Fei sneered at him with a sidelong glance.

Li Qiang was a little annoyed by this guy's attitude. He said dissatisfiedly, "Isn't it just a blank bullet? I heard from the veterans in the village that they used this thing during exercises. It only emits fire but has no lethality. You can't give us live ammunition, so you should at least give us some of this thing."

"Tsk, you know nothing!" Chu Fei said disdainfully.

"You are the only one who understands, so why don't you tell me?" Li Qiang's tone became even more unfriendly.

Chu Fei was not afraid of the stage, and said directly: "You have to listen to the whole story. Do you really think that blank bullets have no lethality? Do you believe that within three to five meters, as long as they hit the vital points, blank bullets can still kill people!"

"Is this true? Are you kidding me?!" Li Qiang asked doubtfully.

"I'm kidding you, don't try to fool you. Blank bullets just don't have a bullet. To be more precise, they are made of plastic or wood instead of a bullet. There is still gunpowder inside the bullet. After being fired, the wood chips or plastic pieces used to block the gunpowder will fly out. They can still cause considerable damage within a few meters and can kill people if they hit vital parts!

Therefore, whether it is live ammunition or blank ammunition, it is impossible to issue it to us now!"

"That's impossible. If blank bullets were lethal, how could they be used in drills? Aren't they afraid of actually killing someone?!"

Although Chu Fei has explained it in detail, some people still don't quite understand.

"Are you stupid? It's true that blank bullets are lethal, but only within a few meters. Beyond that distance, they're fine. And they have to hit the vital points. Who would put the muzzle of a gun into someone's face and shoot?" Chu Fei explained impatiently.

"Oh!" Everyone was stunned.

"How do you know so much?" Li Qiang asked puzzledly, looking at the complacent Chu Fei.

"Hehe, this is the first time for you to touch a real gun, but it's not the first time for me. I have fired live ammunition before!" Chu Fei said even more proudly.

"Tsk, you are just bragging. This is China, not America. Where are you going to fire live ammunition?"

The others also nodded in agreement, not believing that Chu Fei had really shot a gun.

"You're surprised by what you've never seen before. Do you know what a shooting club is? It's a place with formal and legal procedures. Although there are handguns or old weapons that have been discarded in the past, they are definitely real guns and live ammunition."

"Ah?! There are places like this in China, how come I have never heard of it?"

"That's normal. I didn't know about this place before. I went there with my dad once and then I found out about it..."

"Tell me what it feels like to shoot a gun. Also, what kind of gun do you use? How does it compare to the guns we have?"

"I've said it many times. I've only played with a pistol. You know, a pistol is completely different from an automatic rifle!"

……

While everyone was chatting, Jiang Chen and Li Gang had already returned carrying their things.

"Everyone come here!"

Li Gang called everyone over. Everyone was curious about what the two of them had brought back, and they all quickly gathered around.

Under Li Gang's order, Jiang Chen first spread a piece of cloth about half the size of a bed on the ground, and then laid out the things he had brought one by one.

"The guns have been issued, but you still have to know how to use them.

Now, I will teach you how to use firearms correctly, as well as how to disassemble, assemble, and maintain the weapons in your hands."

As he spoke, Li Gang squatted down and placed his gun on the gun cloth.

It is also the Type 81-1 automatic rifle.

……

Since the Type 97 rifle made its debut when Hong Kong returned to China in , it has been gradually equipped in large numbers by the military.

However, the number of our country's conventional troops is somewhat large. According to statistics, during the millennium, our country's total military strength was close to 3.4 million, including 2.3 million regular combat troops and 1.1 million defense forces such as the armed police.

With so many troops, replacing their equipment cannot be done overnight, it has to be done step by step.

Moreover, the higher-ups seemed to have the idea of ​​reforming the military system, so the issue of changing uniforms was put on hold for the time being.

Even though the 228th Regiment was a border force and Li Gang was a scout, he had only heard of or occasionally seen the Type rifle through other channels, and had never personally used the Type automatic rifle.

Speaking of the Type 95 rifle, Li Gang couldn't help but think of the Southeast Military Region's Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade, which was known as the scouts among scouts and the ace among aces.

I'm afraid they are the only ones in the entire military region who are equipped with Type 95 automatic rifles.

Calming his mind, Li Gang began to introduce the basic parameters of the Type 81 rifle to the new recruits.

"The Type 81 rifle, full name 1-79 automatic rifle, began to be developed in , finalized two years later, and began to be mass-produced. It, together with the Type automatic rifle with a wooden fixed stock and the Type light machine gun, formed the first gun family after the founding of the People's Republic of my country, the Type gun family."

"The Type 81-1 automatic rifle weighs 3.5 kg, is 1104 mm long including the bayonet, has a magazine capacity of 30 rounds, and a caliber of 7.62 mm. It uses a folding stock, is easy to carry, and has high stability. It can be used in various harsh environments, such as extreme heat and cold, flooding and fire, and can still be used perfectly...

其发射的7.62x39mm钢芯弹，在400米距离上可击穿8毫米A3钢板，即使在2000米的超远距离上仍旧拥有一定的杀伤能力。”

"Different from the original Type 81 automatic rifle, the Type 81 uses a folding stock, which is easier to carry and store. Moreover, as a complete family of guns, most of their parts are interchangeable."

After talking about the basic parameters, Li Gang began to introduce other functions.

"This is the safety. It must be turned off at all times. I will check it at any time when you take the gun. If I find that someone has not turned off the safety, the consequences will be at your own risk!"

Li Gang's tone was very serious and solemn. Everyone had learned the basic requirements for using firearms last night and naturally knew the consequences of not turning off the safety. Hearing this, they nodded in agreement.

Li Gang nodded and continued to introduce: "This is the magazine. The switch for loading and unloading the magazine is here..."

As he spoke, Li Gang moved his fingers slightly, and with a crisp click, the magazine was removed.

Putting the magazine aside, Li Gang continued, "This is the aiming system, with a notch-type rear sight, this is the scale and the columnar crosshair, the aiming baseline is 315mm, and the crosshair height is 40mm...

You just need to have a general idea of ​​these things. Everyone has different usage habits and gun calibration is also different. I will teach you how to calibrate the gun later. "

"This is the bayonet slot. If needed, you can add a three-edged bayonet. The rear collar can be used to install a 40mm rifle grenade..."

Li Gang's hands kept moving, and the Type 81 rifle was disassembled by him as if by magic.

"This is the barrel, this is the receiver, the bolt carrier, the recoil mechanism, the firing mechanism..."

A complete rifle slowly breaks down into parts in his hands. Every time he disassembles a part, Li Gang will stop to introduce the name and function of the part to everyone.
