Chapter 1031:
Bang bang bang…
Speaking, Liang Le raised his hand and fired. This maneuver was beautifully executed, a string of shots went through, and soon several dark bullet holes appeared on the target opposite. A total of ten bullets, the soldier verifying the target loudly reported: “Ten rings… A total of one hundred rings!”
“Wow, unbelievable, he hit the bullseye with every shot!” Commander Liu said excitedly.
“Next is the pistol!” Liang Le tossed the rifle back to the soldier, then drew the pistol from his waist and aimed at the target, firing a series of shots. After ten shots, the verifying soldier reported again: “Ten rings… A total of one hundred rings!”
“Beautiful!” Mr. Liu clapped again, and the soldiers also celebrated.
Next was the machine gun. The recoil of a machine gun is significant; if one can’t withstand it, the bullets will easily drift. So, typically, machine gunners on the battlefield are powerhouses, strong and robust, resembling Popeye. Liang Le gripped the machine gun tightly, hoisting it on his shoulder, and quickly pulled the trigger, shooting in bursts of ten.
Burst shooting is the best way to improve accuracy. For a machine gunner to hit the bullseye, it’s likely only burst shooting will achieve it. Generally, it’s impossible to hit the bullseye with rapid fire. A string of machine gun bullets hit the bullseye. After verifying, Liang Le achieved a perfect score of three hundred rings. With this, Ye Chen was under pressure.
“Wow, great, fantastic!” Everyone cheered excitedly: “Colonel Liang is sure to win!”
“It’s not certain yet; Ye Chen hasn’t started!” a soldier beside him said.
“Hah, can he do it? Colonel Liang’s score of three hundred rings is likely unbeatable!”
About the competition between the two, the controversy is far more interesting than the event itself. Many kept cheering, soldiers leapt with joy, inwardly hoping Colonel Liang would win. If Colonel Liang won, he could stay and continue training with everyone. No one wanted a paratrooper commanding the team.
“Ye Chen, do you still want to compete?” Liang Le said with a cheerful smile at Ye Chen. “How about this, you don’t need to compete this time; let’s call it even. We’ll decide the winner on the moving target, whoever wins on the moving target wins the final victory, what do you think?”
Liang Le naturally wanted to clear the disgrace from earlier. In the previous two rounds, Ye Chen had left him far behind. So Liang Le wanted to use his advantage in shooting to level out the earlier losses. However, Ye Chen didn’t let Liang Le succeed; he smiled and said, “I don’t like being given a free pass, and I love challenges. You scored perfectly; do you think I would fail?”
Ye Chen grinned, picked up a rifle, and fired at the fixed target up front. When everyone watched the target, the verifying soldier reported: “Ten rings… A total of one hundred rings!”
Clap clap clap…
Everyone applauded. Shooting is not just about accuracy but also agility and speed. Ye Chen was clearly faster than Liang Le in shooting speed, and his accuracy was the same, with both scoring ten rings.
“Hmph, there’s still the pistol and machine gun. I don’t believe you can be as fast with the machine gun!” Liang Le objected.
Ye Chen said nothing, naturally scoring perfectly with the pistol. However, his performance with the machine gun shocked everyone; he didn’t carry the machine gun on his shoulder as imagined but held it in his hands, continuously shooting, unlike Liang Le’s burst shots.
“Oh my, does he think he’s the Gun God?”
“He’s holding the machine gun, not carrying it on his shoulder!”
The soldiers expressed great skepticism about Ye Chen’s actions, wondering if such posture and style could hit the bullseye? It seemed too unreal. While everyone doubted Ye Chen, the verifying soldier reported: “Ten rings… A total of one hundred rings!”
Hiss…
Everyone couldn’t help but gasp, each staring at Ye Chen with a shocked expression. Only Mr. Liu looked at Ye Chen with a cheerful smile, seemingly understanding Ye Chen’s skill well. His smile was filled with contentment for Ye Chen.
“There’s still the moving target!” Liang Le’s face was ashen, acknowledging Ye Chen’s superiority. Until now, he seemed to have been thoroughly defeated, yet he was unwilling to admit defeat. Deep down, Liang Le carried a defiance against the world; he was a soldier, especially a Special Forces soldier, and he had to take responsibility for the medals on his shoulder.
“Let’s start the moving target shooting then!” Ye Chen nodded.
The moving target still consists of rifle, pistol, and machine gun sets. The only difference from fixed shooting is one target is stationary, and the other is moving. The moving target creates much trouble in shooting. Liang Le put aside his dissatisfaction, held the rifle, and aimed ahead. At this moment, a target slowly emerged, and its speed kept increasing, causing Liang Le to squint one eye, the barrel moving with the target.
Bang bang bang…
A few consecutive shots, and the target quickly retreated, the message came: ninety-nine rings.
“Excellent, didn’t expect Colonel Liang to score so high!”
The soldiers were thrilled with Liang Le’s exceptional performance. The moving target differs significantly from the fixed target, with aiming for the bullseye being as hard as climbing a mountain. For ordinary soldiers, aiming at a target is already challenging, not to mention the bullseye. Liang Le’s ninety-nine rings were unexpected, as initially, he thought scoring ninety rings would be remarkable, not expecting to excel as he did when challenged.
“Ye Chen, it’s your turn now!” Liang Le deliberately wanted to pressure Ye Chen, so he threw the rifle directly at him. Ye Chen said nothing, first changed a magazine, then tested the sights. At this time, the moving target in the distance had slowly emerged, and after appearing, the speed suddenly increased, making shooting more difficult. Ye Chen didn’t hesitate, tossed the gun and fired.
The tossing gun posture was truly handsome, causing the surrounding brothers to exclaim: “Awesome, Ye Chen, so cool!”
Even Liang Le couldn’t help but internally applaud, surprised by Ye Chen’s gun-tossing shooting method, as those who could toss a gun were considered Gun Gods. Could Ye Chen truly be born of a Gun God? Liang Le hurried over to Mr. Liu and secretly asked: “Commander Liu, is Ye Chen… truly the Gun God?”
“No!” Mr. Liu shook his head immediately, saying, “He might be a bit better than the Gun God!”
“Oh my!” Liang Le was suddenly dumbfounded.
What is beyond the Gun God? Could it be the Gun King, the king among guns? In the military, having a Gun King in a district is already remarkable; there is seemingly a Gun King in the 38th Army Group. He is within the artillery unit below the 38th Army Group. Liang Le tried several times to recruit him, but the superior officers refused to let him go. Eventually, it just ended there.
Liang Le is a smart person, knowing that continuing to compete would only be self-humiliating. He quickly walked to Ye Chen, cupped his hands, and said, “Ye Chen, brother, I was blind to see Taishan, not realizing you were once the team leader of the Iron Eagle Special Forces. No wonder you’re so formidable, I’m willing to admit defeat!”
“Ha ha!” Ye Chen laughed heartily: “Liang Le, you are also quite good, excellent shooting skills, especially with the moving target. You excel when facing challenges; I like your personality. Suddenly, I hope you can stay in the Special Forces in the future!”
“This… will depend on Commander Liu’s decision!” Liang Le glanced at Mr. Liu and said: “If Commander Liu doesn’t transfer me, I’m willing to stay, even if just as a deputy leader!”
“Ha ha, I wouldn’t bear to separate you two!” Mr. Liu showed a mischievous smile.
Ye Chen’s expression immediately stiffened, surprised: “Mr. Liu, I don’t do bromance. Don’t misunderstand!”
“I’m not into bromance either!” Liang Le quickly said: “If I engage in bromance, my wife would probably kill me!”
“Ha ha…” Mr. Liu immediately laughed heartily, saying: “Ye Chen, Liang Le, you must serve the 38th Army Group well for me. Ye Chen, you’re holding two positions; let me know if there’s any difficulty!”
Ye Chen is not only the team leader of the Special Forces under the 38th Army Group, but also the leader of the Beijing City Guard Team. Holding both positions, Ye Chen is quite helpless, but these are the wishes of Elder Pang. Elder Pang intended for Ye Chen to join the military for training, so he could replace his position in the future. Ye Chen was unwilling in his heart but could not violate Elder Pang’s last wish.
“Yes, I will!” Ye Chen nodded.
