The rules for the competition have come out.

The first morning of the official competition is the knockout round.

Because the time for this year's competition is tight, it actually affects the difficulty.

Time is tight, so many projects that were separated before were simply put together.

The knockout round is simple and crude and direct - 600-meter Type 85 sniper rifle shooting chest ring target, 3 rounds of ammunition; 400-meter lying position performs 3 single shots, target half-body target; 300-meter Type 81 light machine gun shooting 3 times, target perforation target; then 200-meter rifle shooting 2 times, 6 rounds of ammunition, target crawling target; 150-meter kneeling position shoots two sets of ammunition shooting 6 rounds, target side-mounted running target; 100-80-meter lying masks are used to search for short pauses, 6 rounds of bullets; 50-meter 80-meter lying masks are used to close shooting 2 times, each time is 3 rounds.

The number of rings is not calculated in all shooting, only the number of targets is calculated, and the number of targets is calculated first, and then the winning or losing is determined based on the time.

The morning shooting will eliminate 54 people from the 84 top players participating, leaving the last 30 people to enter the afternoon semi-finals.

The selected 30 people were selected to participate in the semi-finals and selected the top 10 to participate in the final championship competition, and finally three people were selected as the first, second and third place.

Anyone who enters the top 30 can win the title of Sharpshooter in the Army.

This means that most shooting tips will be eliminated in one morning.

This competition can be said to be cruel and ruthless. In the past, the competition time was plenty, but this time was tight, so the staff in charge of the competition in the army simply cut the mess quickly and strive to decide the outcome as soon as possible.

As soon as the rules came out, everyone felt tremendous pressure.

The first is physical strength. You need to start shooting and running from 600 meters, complete shooting at different targets at different distances, until you complete the 30-meter distance.

Although running 600 meters is nothing for the top training teams who run ten kilometers a day, letting you shoot immediately after running, which has extremely high requirements for the stability of soldiers' shooting.

The second is light machine gun shooting. This time, the perforation target is required to fire three points at a distance of 300 meters, and 3 bullets are fired at a time. The perforation target is designed to simulate the perforation of the enemy bunker. Although this thing is 50cm wide, it is only 25cm in height.

Therefore, if the elastic surface is extremely small, it is easy to get off the target, especially paying attention to the control of the high and low.

The third is to shoot with a gas mask. Moreover, the staff who specified the rules chose the most vicious way - start wearing a gas mask within the last 100 meters and hit it until the last 30 meters.

Striking with a gas mask is an independent shooting subject. For gas masks, soldiers have a natural resistance and dislike. This thing looks quite majestic and domineering when wearing it, but once you use this thing during training, you will feel in pain...

A gas mask will cause some difficulty in breathing and limited vision, and inconvenient aiming. If it is not handled properly, it will cause fog on the lenses to affect your accuracy when breathing.

Especially when it is required to be accurate and stable, it is not a comfortable thing to wear this thing after running for hundreds of meters and ask you to hit various targets.

But there is no choice.

Since they are all known as the top shooting players in various divisions and units, they are of course strictly selected. They have not been trained to shoot with gas masks. They have to wear them themselves and others also have to wear them. Everyone is trying to compete for strength.

Starting from the announcement of the rules, you have to carry out three consecutive hours of gas mask removal training every night, striving to achieve the fastest speed.

Starting the next morning, gunfire sounded in the direction of the shooting range and never stopped.

On the first morning, the military unit was responsible for the yard, and then in the afternoon, the 3rd Division, the 2nd Division the next morning, and in the afternoon, the 1st Division.

Everyone has an indescribable tension and pressure in their hearts. Every day, the thing that the top shooting teams like to do is to run to the shooting range after simple training to see other brothers shoot real-fire ammunitions.

Live ammunition shooting is set according to the competition rules issued by the army. Everyone wants to try to familiarize themselves with the entire competition process before the official competition day.

The boring spectators first want to see what level of other units are, but secondly, they will make excuses when others can't fight well.

This is almost a tacit approach, because each unit occupies a half-day shooting range, so everyone will have the opportunity to watch and make people cheer.

Doing this is nothing more than deliberately putting pressure on the other party.

Time flies fast.

In a blink of an eye, the top competition of the army finally arrived as scheduled.

...

Han Zixiu was sitting in a jeep. He looked at his watch and it was already 10 o'clock in the morning.

It's a bit late, but it's still time.

"Xiao He, drive quickly."

He couldn't help but urge the driver.

...

Five days ago, Han Zixuan claimed to have completed the training task of the military district shooting team and returned to the "Red Arrow" team.

The first thing I did when I returned to the team was to go to the office to meet the captain Zhang Hui.

"Captain, I have come up with a way to supplement our military source gap this year."

Zhang Hui raised his head and saw that it was Han Zixiu, who closed the documents on the table and pushed them aside, and said, "When will Han Zixiu come back?"

Zhang Hui is forty-two years old this year, dark and strong, but he feels that he is still thirty-two years old.

Last year, Zhang Hui could have been promoted or transferred to another unit to change to a comfortable place.

But Zhang Hui felt that he belonged here, so he reported to the military chief and asked to stay in the "Red Arrow" brigade to continue to serve as the captain.

Han claimed to be a young officer he admired very much, so he stayed in the army headquarters as a staff officer.

"Just come back." Han Zixiu looked around, walked around the water machine, poured himself a glass of water, and tilted his head down.

"Captain, I said I have found a way to supplement our soldiers."

"I have been thinking about this question recently. The leader said, "I will add some more from the recruits in the military directly under the military region." Zhang Hui said.

Han Zixiu shook his head and said, "No, no, no, captain, what I am talking about is not adding new recruits from those military directly affiliated teams. We have already chosen the ones we can choose, and there are not many suitable ones."

"Do you mean direct recruitment?" Zhang Hui said: "We have already conducted direct recruitment. This year's direct recruitment quotas are limited. I plan to recruit more technical talents. The times are progressing. We can't always stay in the era of a rope, a dagger and a gun. This year, the military region has distributed us a batch of new types of technical reconnaissance equipment. We must know how to play these experts and technical talents to understand them thoroughly."

"Okay!" Han Zixiu sat down in front of Zhang Hui and said, "Captain, what I am talking about is not direct moves, but internal moves."

"Internal trick?" Zhang Hui said: "You need to say this? Didn't I just say it. The directly affiliated units in the district will add a group of recruits to us, and you will also pick them up when the time comes."

"No, what I want is not those recruits who don't know anything, especially I told you before that I need talents in forming a special sniper team directly under the brigade. I don't have ordinary talents, but the kind of outstanding ones." Han Zixu said.

Zhang Hui said: "Oh! There are so many soldiers in our brigade, how many people do you want? Can't escape these ten?"

"What I want is the most talented and top-notch sharpshooter soldier." Han Zixiu shook his head and said, "The veteran has left the army, but the new recruits can't keep up. Captain, don't say it. We have encountered military reform, and this time it's really a waste of time. I observed the shooting training level of all the soldiers in our brigade, checked their training files and past historical results. Don't say it, I only picked 9 people, and there were still 3 left."

Zhang Hui asked: "Then, where do you plan to find these three soldiers who do you think are the most talented and top-notch soldiers?"

Han Zixiu said: "I went to the military shooting team this time to check it out, but there is nothing suitable. The athletes who are special-trained are indeed very talented, but they are not soldiers. They need to be trained for too long and may not be able to meet the standards in other subjects."

"You don't even look down on the military shooting team?" Zhang Hui laughed and said, "I said Han Zixiu, you are just above the top, you don't like the military shooting team directly under the military. You say you can't do it. You said that the soldiers in our brigade are not enough. Those who know it also understand that you just want to form a professional sniper team. Those who don't know think you are choosing Superman."

Han Zixiu said, "What I want is the superman among the soldiers! Captain, tell you the truth. I have been here for more than three years. Over the past three years, I have thoroughly studied the sniping level of our brigade. If you are not angry today, I will just say it."

"You say, you say." Zhang Hui picked up the tea jar and blew the tea leaves on it: "I'm not angry. I, the captain, don't even have such a tolerance? You, Han Zixiu, underestimated me too much."

Han Zixiu said, "Then I will just say it."

He thought for a while, organized the language in his mind, and said, "Don't look at the special brigade signs, in fact, the set we are training now and the set of the reconnaissance brigade during the two-shan rotation battle in the late 1980s..."

"Wait." Zhang Hui interrupted Han Zixuan: "I'll tell you, Staff Officer Han, it's wrong for you to say this. The reconnaissance brigade was our predecessor, so this is the fact!"

Han Zixiu looked helpless and could only say: "Okay, I was wrong, it's the fact. But we can't stay in that era. You also know that when I was in the Land Academy, I studied the direction of snipers. When I came here, I found that our brigade's sniper concept was still very backward. Not only did the equipment not keep up, but the personnel's tactical awareness could not keep up. If we insisted on comparing with professional snipers of foreign special forces, we were still at the elementary school level..."

"Is there anything you said that?" Zhang Hui was unhappy.

Han Zixuan could only admit his mistake again: "Okay, captain, it's my statement that I'm incorrect. I just said that our sniper concept is a bit backward and unprofessional. You see, our brigade is known as a special forces, but there is no professional sniper team. The so-called snipers in the team are still practicing control of targets within 600 meters with Type 85 and Type 88. This can only be called an accurate rifleman, and cannot be considered a professional sniper..."

Zhang Hui said: "All right, if I listen, our brigade has become a garbage shelter. Okay, I think that most of what you said is true. I have also reported to the military leaders of the military region. They also agree with your idea and want you, the professional shooting talent of the Land Academy, to try what kind of name can be found. As for equipment and money, don't worry, I will fight for you, but you can talk about where you are looking for someone."

Han Zixiu heard that the captain Zhang Hui had already reacted with the military leader and received support, and immediately smiled and said, "I have found the people, including the troops we currently lack, and I think we can also solve them together."

“Where to find it?”

"The field army is a good resource. Especially the A-Group Army, they are conducting top-notch competitions recently, and they are all elite soldiers of their group army. I saw a soldier at the shooting range of the 1st Division that day. I liked it very much. It was so in line with my requirements." Han Zixiu said, "I can go down to pick a group of people from each group army, and then we will select and select the best. Isn't this a solution?"

"This..." Zhang Hui shook his head slowly and said, "I'm afraid it won't work..."
Chapter completed!
