Chapter 114 Too Horrible! (5100 words) 'Distance 1001 meters, wind direction southwest, temperature degrees Celsius, light breeze, side wind, wind resistance meters per second...' Crawling on the ground and maintaining a standard prone position to shoot Su Chen, he quickly calculated the values ​​required for various shooting in his mind, and adjusted the knob on the optical eyepiece based on these values. As Su Chen adjusted the knob, a subtle "click" sound was emitted, and the image in the optical sight gradually began to zoom and realign. After precise numerical adjustments, the center point of the cross scale was aligned with the center 1000-ring area of ​​the chest ring target 10 meters away. Then, Su Chen seemed to have thought of something. Combining the dispersion of the trajectory when hitting a target at 800 meters, the center point of the cross scale slightly tilted to the left and rose a little, and then he held his breath. To be honest, the optical sight of the QBU-88 sniper rifle is 51 mm high against the cheek, so it feels very comfortable even when shooting in a prone position. Su Chen's index finger slowly slid to the trigger. At this moment, the soldiers of the Eighth Company held their breath, staring at Su Chen who was crawling on the ground, with a feeling of extreme anticipation rising in their hearts. That is this second. "boom!--" A gunshot suddenly rang out, and Su Chen, with his shoulder against the butt of the gun, completely offset the recoil and stood as steady as a rock. The initial velocity of the QBU-88 sniper rifle bullet is 895 meters per second, but there is also information saying that the average initial velocity of the gun can reach 924 meters per second. But no matter which one it is, at a target of 1000 meters, the bullet and the gunshot arrive almost simultaneously.

After the gunshots, the voice from the target trench came through the intercom of Company Commander Shang Yong, "Report to the Company Commander, 1000 rings on the No. 10 target at meters!" Really hit it?! Although they had already expected Su Chen to hit the 1000-meter target, when the soldiers of the Eighth Company heard that Su Chen could still maintain an accuracy of 1000 rings at the 10-meter target, they couldn't help but feel indescribable shock in their hearts! You know, there is a crosswind today! As we all know, wind speed and direction have a great influence on the trajectory of sniper rifles, and the influence increases with the distance. When choosing a sniper position, most snipers would prefer to be with the wind or against the wind, and would never choose a crosswind unless they have to. Because crosswinds can affect shooting accuracy and increase the difficulty of aiming. Think about it carefully, when a bullet flies over a certain distance and its kinetic energy decreases, the crosswind will make the bullet erratic, making it difficult to control its accuracy for long-term goals. But Su Chen could actually hit the target 88 meters away with one shot using only a 1000 sniper rifle in a crosswind? ! Hiss... Everyone gasped in their hearts, thinking that Su Chen's marksmanship was a little too terrifying! At this moment, after hitting the target 1000 meters away, Su Chen took out the magazine containing machine gun bullets (heavy bullets), pulled the bolt, ejected a bullet in the chamber, pressed it back into the magazine, pulled the bolt again a few times, confirmed that there was no bullet in the chamber, then put the magazine aside and stood up to attention. In fact, it's not that he couldn't fight at the 1,100 meters and 1,200 meters, but Su Chen didn't continue because that would inevitably seem like a show of skill. The QBU88 sniper rifle, as a squad sniper rifle, or to be more specific, a precision marksman rifle, is not capable of targeting targets over 600 meters away. Although the troops found after field tests that the Type 88 sniper rifle is more accurate than the Type 800 sniper rifle within 85 meters, when the target is over 600 meters, everyone prefers the Dragunov SVD sniper rifle, which is a copy of the former Soviet Union. Because the Type 85 sniper uses the Type 53 machine gun bullet, its lethality and stopping power within a certain range are far greater than the Type 88 sniper. It has a better effect on single targets at medium and long distances, so it makes up for the lack of firepower of our army's light weapons at medium and long distances in terms of lethality. Shang Yong and Zhao Chuan looked at each other and sighed: Damn, has Su Chen become so terrifying after training in the special forces? ! Suppressing the shock in his heart, Shang Yong took the lead in clapping, and the soldiers of the Eighth Company followed suit later. Suddenly, the applause resounded throughout the training ground. Su Chen was surrounded by envious, respectful, and admiring gazes and applause, but he remained calm. He did not feel embarrassed, shy, or proud. He was very calm. "Did you see everything?" Shang Yong looked around at the soldiers at this time and said in a resounding voice: "This is a true master! At any time and any place, any sniper rifle in his hands can exert a huge deterrent force! I know many of you think you are sharpshooters. Sometimes when you get good results in hitting a target a few hundred meters away, you are complacent! Now you see it, right? There are always people better than you. Arrogance is not advisable! Arrogance will lead to failure! I hope that when you achieve some results, you will not be too complacent. There are many people who are better than you! Only by learning with an open mind can you make faster progress, do you understand?!" The team said in unison: "Yes! Company Commander!——" The amazing marksmanship demonstrated by Su Chen and the company commander's teachings really made the soldiers understand that even if they could enter the strongest spearhead company 8 in the Tiger Regiment, it did not mean that they were truly strong.

Especially some snipers from the 8th Sharp Knife Company. Among the millions of troops of Shenzhou, there are many who are stronger than them. Su Chen standing in front of them is the best example! Having been in the army for eight months, he has already surpassed all of them, including many senior veterans who have served for many years! Talent is one thing, but they have also witnessed firsthand how strict and high standards Su Chen sets for himself in the Sharp Blade Eighth Company. Talented people are working hard, so what qualifications do they have to be proud and complacent? ! After giving the soldiers of the Eighth Company a heads-up with Su Chen's performance, Shang Yong continued to organize training, but gave Chen Rulong a holiday and instructed him to notify the kitchen staff to prepare some delicious dishes to entertain Su Chen and return to the team before lights out. ………… When meeting the old squad leader, it was natural to reminisce about the past. The kitchen staff prepared a few dishes. Chen Rulong got a bottle of Wuliangye from somewhere, and he drank with Su Chen and reminisced about the past. As a 24-hour rapid reaction force, the Tiger Regiment is prohibited from drinking alcohol. However, the situation today is special. The company commander Shang Yong told him to ask the kitchen staff to prepare a few dishes to entertain Su Chen, which actually meant that he had tacitly agreed that Chen Rulong could drink a little today. The two inevitably talked about the days in the recruit company. Chen Rulong sighed and said, "You, you were a humble recruit in the recruit company until the first time you fired a gun. You really amazed me, the company commander, and the instructor. At that time, we all thought that you were a good soldier, but we didn't expect that you would grow so much in less than a year! It seems that what the company commander said was right." Su Chen raised his glass and clinked it with Chen Rulong's. "Squad leader, what did the company commander say about me?" Chen Rulong took a sip of white wine and laughed, "The company commander said that you are born to do this job! Tell the squad leader, what is the selection process for the special forces?" "There's a lot worth talking about here." Su Chen smiled and shared some things that were not confidential with the old squad leader. Chen Rulong listened very carefully. From time to time, he would laugh when he heard Su Chen mention something interesting. Finally, after Su Chen finished speaking, he took a sip of wine and then said with emotion: "Hearing what you said, the special operations brigade is quite interesting and challenging! - Chen'er, seriously, do you think the squad leader can pass the special operations brigade selection?" Su Chen was stunned for a moment, "Sergeant, do you also want to join the Special Operations Brigade?" "I do have this idea." Chen Rulong did not hide it. "I've been leading new soldiers for so many years, I'm a little tired of it. I joined the army when I was 18, and I'm 31 this year. I want to try my luck while I'm still young and change my way of life. What do you think?" Su Chen smiled and said, "With your ability as squad leader, it will be a piece of cake for you to go to the special operations brigade selection! No problem." "Don't pick on nice things!" Chen Rulong said seriously, "I'm talking about serious things! You've been through the special operations selection, I want to hear your analysis. With my current conditions, can I join the special operations brigade?" "This..." Seeing the old squad leader's serious face, Su Chen couldn't help but ponder for a while, "Squad leader, I'm telling the truth! With your physical fitness, fighting skills and experience, it won't be a problem for you to pass the special operations brigade selection. But you also said that after all, your age is here. In a few years, your physical functions and reactions will inevitably go downhill. So I think you can definitely get in, but the ace special operations team inside is a bit tough..." What Su Chen said was the truth. When special operations brigades recruit soldiers, they usually choose relatively young ones. Especially for the Tigers and other special operations commandos, they definitely want soldiers who still have room for advancement. Chen Rulong's ability is not low, and he is in his prime, but his age is there after all. Even if he can join the ace unit of the special operations brigade, he probably won't be able to stay there for a few years. "Alas!..." Hearing Su Chen's words, Chen Rulong couldn't help but sigh. He glanced at the Tiger Regiment's base outside the window and sighed, "It's been thirteen years. I'm really not young anymore..." Chen Rulong felt a little disappointed at this moment. He had been in the Tiger Regiment since the recruit company, and now, before he knew it, twelve years had passed. This year, he just signed the fourth term, which is the so-called fourth-level sergeant major. But it took a lot of effort to sign the fourth term from the third term. Chen Rulong had a strong feeling that his military career would end with the fourth term. There was basically no possibility of moving up. After all, he would be 35 years old in four years. The promotion from the fourth-level sergeant major to the third-level sergeant major can also be called the promotion from the middle-level sergeant to the senior sergeant. It is usually considered after strict selection and assessment procedures when there is a demand for relevant positions in the army. Moreover, the competition for senior sergeants is extremely fierce, and the number of places is relatively limited. It is necessary to comprehensively consider many factors such as skills, performance, performance, and troop needs. It is too difficult to stay in the team! Isn’t there a joke on the Internet that the company commander and instructor who wanted to quit in the first phase tried their best to persuade them to stay, while those who wanted to stay in the second phase persuaded them to stay by saying things like “the society is pretty good and we have enough capital”. It is not hard to see that it is already very difficult to transfer from the second term to the third term. Not to mention the fourth term wanting to stay in the team. It is not that you can stay just because you want to. Otherwise, senior sergeants are as scarce as pandas. In fact, the difficulty of staying in the team can be seen from the welfare benefits alone. A third-class sergeant earns about 125 yuan a month, and his retirement pay is as high as million yuan or even more. How can he stay just like that? …… Hearing Chen Rulong's sigh of no youth, Su Chen didn't know how to comfort him for a moment. After a pause, he said, "You can't say that, squad leader. I think if you want to try, it's not a bad idea! Special operations brigades don't necessarily have to be frontline combat troops. There are still many other positions. I believe that with your talent, there will be no problem." Although he could tell that Su Chen was trying to comfort him, Chen Rulong still felt warm inside, "Well, I'll think about it!"

Su Chen and Chen Rulong did not drink too much. After dinner, Chen Rulong took Su Chen around and stayed in the old unit until almost dinner in the afternoon. Su Chen looked at the time and said goodbye and left. Taking the bus back to the city, Su Chen arrived at the provincial capital Fengtian City and called his elder brother Wang Zhen. Wang Zhen was quite surprised that Su Chen was granted home visit leave, but he quickly told Su Chen to wait at the station. Su Chen, dressed in military uniform, sat on a bench at the bus station, attracting the attention of passers-by from time to time. The people of our country always have a special feeling for the People's Liberation Army. Wherever the soldiers go, they are a beautiful landscape. There were even children who, when they saw Su Chen, babbled, "Uncle PLA!" This made Su Chen's face turn black. He was only 19 years old this year, how could he be an uncle? ! ………… After waiting at the station for almost half an hour, a silver-white Volkswagen Lavida finally stopped in front of Su Chen with a squeak. The driver's door opened, and Wang Zhen, wearing a black long-sleeved training uniform and a three-bar logo on his shoulders, walked up to Su Chen and took the suitcase and backpack from Su Chen: "Why did you suddenly give me a family visit leave?" Su Chen smiled and said, "Arrangements for the troops." Wang Zhen had already put Su Chen's luggage in the trunk and opened the back door. "How many days will you stay this time?" "About a week!" Su Chen said as he got into the car. Only then did he notice that there was a woman sitting on the passenger seat. After seeing her appearance clearly, Su Chen was stunned. The woman in the passenger seat had shoulder-length wavy hair and a white sweater. When she saw Su Chen, she waved and smiled familiarly, "Little brother, long time no see?" Who else could it be if not Wei Ziyi? ! After not seeing each other for a few months, Wei Ziyi's appearance had changed a little. Wei Ziyi didn't seem to be wearing any makeup today. Her eyebrows were not as smooth and straight as when I saw her in Myanmar. Instead, they were a little bloomed and her hair was a little loose. Seeing Su Chen staring at her eyebrows, Wei Ziyi couldn't help but think of the incident a few months ago in Myanmar, when Su Chen exposed her as an old virgin. Her pretty face immediately blushed. "Cough!——" She coughed softly. Su Chen then withdrew his gaze. How could he not understand that his elder brother had completely given it his all? So he laughed and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Hello, sister-in-law!" Su Chen swore in front of the lamp that he was truly sure that his elder brother and Wei Ziyi were finally together, that's why he called her sister-in-law without any distractions. But Wei Ziyi seemed to have recalled some past events, and she felt unwell mentally. So she always felt that Su Chen's call of "sister-in-law" seemed to be a joke, and her face turned even redder! Fortunately, Wang Zhen was sitting in the car at that time. He closed the door with a bang, easing Wei Ziyi's embarrassment. The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they had something to talk about while driving. Wang Zhen drove all the way to the barbecue restaurant, where Su Chen had another drink and reminisced about the past. Of course, when they were drinking, Su Chen left his military uniform jacket in the car. Wang Zhen also took off his police uniform. After all, if an officer and a police officer drank together in a barbecue restaurant, how could it be a disgrace? Through chatting, Su Chen learned that his mother did not stay in the provincial capital to live with Wang Zhen, but returned to her hometown to run a supermarket. Wang Zhen had advised her, and now the two brothers had the conditions to let Xiao Sumei not work so hard. But Xiao Sumei still said: "Mom is not old yet, she can still work. I will enjoy life with you when I am old." This is probably what parents all over the world always say. When it comes to sensitive topics, the two brothers feel a little ashamed, and the wine enters their hearts as they are sad, so they drink it even faster. So Su Chen and Wang Zhen got drunk! Wang Zhen hugged Su Chen's arm, his emotions rising, and he said with a sour nose: "Brother, you've suffered too!" Wang Zhen is not a fool! He naturally noticed that Su Chen was promoted to second lieutenant, and he also knew about Su Chen's academic qualifications. It was easy to guess how hard Su Chen must have worked in the army to be promoted to cents. Su Chen patted his eldest brother on the back and said, "It doesn't matter if it's hard or not. We two brothers are both serving the people!"

"Yes! It's all for serving the people!" Wang Zhen nodded vigorously. ………… After the drinking party, Wei Ziyi, who had not drunk, drove Wang Zhen and Su Chen back to the three-bedroom apartment arranged by Wen Kai. Su Chen would stay here temporarily tonight and go back to his hometown with Wang Zhen to visit his mother tomorrow. Wang Zhen was drunk and had fallen asleep on the sofa. Su Chen's alcohol tolerance was much better than Wang Zhen's, but he was also dizzy at this time. Under the guidance of Wei Ziyi, he came to the second bedroom. Wei Ziyi turned on the light in the room, took out a set of clean bedding from the closet and put it on the bed. "You can stay here tonight. Your brother is drunk, if you need anything, just call me! There are drinks and soda water in the refrigerator, I'll make you some honey water later." Su Chen watched Wei Ziyi make the bed and said gratefully, "Thank you, sister-in-law." Wei Ziyi chuckled and said, "Why are you being polite? You are Brother Zhen's younger brother, so you are just like my own brother! We are family and should not have different opinions." After helping Su Chen make the bed, Wei Ziyi left the room, went to the bathroom to prepare toiletries for Su Chen, then made a cup of honey water and brought it in, and then went back to take care of the already asleep Wang Zhen... After washing up, Su Chen lay on the bed, scrolling through his phone out of boredom. Just as he was about to fall asleep, his phone rang with a "ding dong". After seeing the message, Su Chen was stunned...! (5000 words, this part about going home to visit relatives is not just a joke! First, it is to lay the groundwork and introduce the characters. Second, it is the beginning of a new battle plot! It is quite exciting, so stay tuned...) (End of this chapter)
