Yes, the soldiers of the engineer platoon only missed shooting, but did not pay attention to whether they could win the competition.

The reason is simple, they don't think they will lose.

The engineer platoon is in the independent regiment, although the main business is to open roads and build bridges in the mountains and waters, and is responsible for guiding the armies to build fortifications and lay mines during the war, but it has never been said that the engineer platoon is not a soldier.

Even if their military training is not as strict as that of ordinary infantry, their daily firing capacity on the base training ground will never be less than 20 rounds.

It may not be as good as the marksmanship of the infantry battalion soldiers, but it is not just luck that can survive this meat grinder-like battle? At the height of the battle, the engineer platoon was also fighting with the Japanese at the front line, no different from the infantry.

Wu Chenghu's reinforced engineer platoon originally had more than 60 people, but after a battle, the remaining 20 were all elites who were not only lucky enough, but also strong enough.

The headquarters of the 68th Division was located in Datong, and the 200th Brigade was stationed in Tianzhen, 200 miles away from Datong, that is, the place where Zhang Jingjun led a regiment to fight hard against the Japanese army in historical time and space.

For some reason, the 200th Independent Brigade did not place its brigade headquarters in Tianzhen, a small city with city walls, but chose to build a garrison on a small hill.

However, which location is only two miles away from the traffic artery from Shanxi to Zhangjiakou, troops can be sent to seal the artery at any time, and there are many light and dark firepower points on the mountains on both sides.

If it weren't for Liu Lang, who saw that the 200th Brigade had set up checkpoints on the main road and was busy charging merchants for merchants, he really thought that Comrade Liu had given up the comfortable environment in the city and chose to live in the countryside for purely strategic purposes.

However, there is an advantage to such a station------ it is a large area.

More than 4,000 people of the independent regiment and more than 5,000 people of the 200th brigade sat on two sides, and the shooting training ground was in the middle.

Because the engineer platoon of the Independent Regiment only had a total of 20 people, the 278th Regiment naturally would not really send a platoon No. 40 person out, and Zhang Jingjun happened to send 20 soldiers and officers with the strongest shooting skills recommended by each battalion in his regiment.

Although Zhang Jingjun has a hot temper, how can he be a fool if he can sit in the position of the head of the group that governs thousands of people?

The independent regiment and the two regiments of the 29th Army together completely annihilated the 4th Brigade of the Japanese army, and the brilliant record was almost blinding, and the strength of this independent regiment can be imagined. Even if he learned that he had the cheekiness to choose someone else's engineer platoon, Zhang Jingjun did not take it lightly. It also takes all the strength of the lion to fight the rabbit, not to mention that the independent regiment is by no means a rabbit, so Zhang Jingjun simply cheekily stuffed five or six second lieutenant platoon commanders into the twenty people, who were all the top shooting masters of his 278 regiment.

There was no one to argue about the order of shooting, and for the fair period, Liu Tanfu, the chief referee of the big competition, and Tang Yongming, the vice president of the competition, discussed and decided to draw lots.

Zhang Jingjun took a beat, and a smile overflowed on his rough and vicissitudes face.

Of course, it is a good thing to fight first, there is no need to look at the results of the other side, there is no pressure on their own side, and the officers and men of the 278th Regiment, who have no psychological burden, can naturally play more ideally.

Under the leadership of Wu Chenghu, the soldiers of the engineer platoon of the Independent Regiment smiled and carried their guns on their backs and stood 30 meters behind the opponents who had already entered the firing position, waiting to see what tricks they could play.

The shooting competition is a 100-meter half-body target, 20 people, divided into two groups, each group of 10 people, each with five bullets, exactly the capacity of a magazine, and finally add up the rings of 20 people to calculate the total score.

The guns used in the trial were the guns of the officers and soldiers participating in the competition, because the guns of the independent regiment and the Jinsui army were completely different. The Jin Sui army used the Jin-made Type 65 rifle, which is a copycat version of the Japanese-style 38-type rifle, and even the caliber of the bullets used is exactly the same, while the soldiers of the Independent Regiment used Hanyang-made.

When it was replaced with a unified gun, the soldiers of both armies were not very accustomed to it. Of course, more importantly, the characteristics of the 38-type rifle with straight, stable and high accuracy have also been learned by the Jin-made 65 rifle, and the officers of the Jin Suijun naturally think that this kind of gun is far more powerful than the bullet but the accuracy is not as strong as the 65-step Hanyang.

Therefore, the gun is equipped with its own ammunition, and it is only necessary to press a magazine into it when entering the firing position and have it checked by someone.

The Jin Suijun can participate in the shooting competition are the elite of the 278th Regiment, and it can be seen from their expressions when they enter the shooting position, whether it is before or after shooting, what they show the most on their faces is self-confidence.

With the "snap hook。。。。。。 The gunshots characteristic of the Type 38 rifle continued to sound until there was silence and the first group of shots was over.

Taking advantage of the handover position of the two groups, the distant shooting range changed the target paper and handed over the target paper to the two referees of the 200th Brigade and the Independent Regiment for statistics, Lao Li put down the binoculars, looked at Liu Fatzi who was sitting next to him and smoking silently with a "melancholy" face, and said: "How about it, Commander Liu, the soldiers of my 68th Division are okay!" ”

Lao Li's pride is not without reason, he just saw several nine rings from the telescope, and even a gun hole hit the bull's-eye, a proper ten rings, 100 meters away, can play such a result, he can definitely be regarded as a sharpshooter.

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, before Liu Lang could answer, Comrade Lao Li wanted to give himself a big mouth. Knowing that the bastard fat man is a poisonous tongue king, he still has to take the initiative to talk to him, isn't that uncomfortable for himself?

You must know that Comrade Lao Li has been drying Liu Lang for a long time just now, and who knows that he didn't hold back the feeling called Dese, and took the initiative to find abuse.

However, it was a little unexpected by Lao Li, who was secretly annoyed, but Liu Lang did not have a poisonous tongue this time, but nodded in agreement, "The marksmanship of these ten soldiers is good, very good." ”

Lao Li was stunned, and then smiled. This is strength, which can earn dignity.

However, when Comrade Li's face had just bloomed and had not yet fully bloomed, he listened to Liu Lang continue to himself: "I just don't know, can the entire Shanxi 300,000 Jin Sui Army find such soldiers to make a regiment?" ”

Lao Li's face stiffened, and he almost didn't vomit blood, Tounima, since you have a poisonous tongue, you have been poisonous to the end, and you still talk about the good things in front of you and make wool.

However, it is difficult for him to refute what Liu Lang said, the 278th Regiment has always been the training pacesetter of the 68th Division, and the people who can count the number in the 278th Regiment can definitely be regarded as the top soldiers of the 68th Division, as Liu Lang said, such soldiers, looking at the 300,000 people in the Jin Sui Army, it really can't make up 2,000 people.

At this time, the results of the first group also came out, ten people each had five bullets, a total of 434 rings, and an average of 8.68 rounds of bullets per person, which is quite a remarkable achievement.

If it is taken to the battlefield, 100 meters away, as long as it is a cold shot at the enemy, it is basically one shot, and there is no missing bullet, of course, it is also when the enemy does not notice and does not move.

Anyway, this is an extremely good result, and there is nothing to say about it when it comes to the Central Army.

Facing the arrogance of Lao Li, who held the results, Liu Lang also gave a thumbs up and expressed his appreciation, these soldiers are really good, even if these soldiers do not really represent the level of the Jin Sui Army. It's like a football team, superstars are capable of turning the tide, but it's those who really decide the outcome of the game.

As he spoke, the second group finished shooting.

Maybe it's because the first group is good, the second group is a little under a little pressure, or maybe it's to get off to a good start, the highest level of shooting is ranked in the first group, and the second group is a lot worse than the first group, with a total of 403 rings, an average of 8 rings per shot.

However, this is also a good level.

In the end, the 20 people of the 278th Regiment of the Jinsui Army who participated in the shooting competition scored a total score of 837 rings, with an average score of 8.37 rings per person per shot, and the highest one even played a total of 46 rings and an average score of 9.2 rings.

After Tang Yongming's approval, as soon as it was announced to the two armies, thousands of people in the Jin Sui army cheered, as if the victory had been bagged.

The soldiers of the independent regiment grinned and were not moved at all, just laughing and waiting to see the good show of the engineer platoon.

After dozens of days of fighting, the recruits have become veterans, and the veterans have become elite soldiers, and the officers and soldiers have lost any interest in these fixed and immobile dead targets.

On the battlefield, how can there be a dead target that stays still and allows you to aim and shoot? The little devils are all faster than rabbits, okay?
