Chapter 345: The township competition has new tricks

The next day, shooting continued.

The third day, shooting continued.

On the fourth day, the subject was changed, grenade throwing.

That kind of wooden handle grenade is not considered outdated at this time.

"Grenade throwing training and live ammunition is one day, training in the morning, live throwing in the afternoon." Xu Chengjun put a box of bullets beside his feet. Li Long glanced at it, and it was written as training bullets.

"Now everyone throws one by one, those who throw over forty meters rest on one side, those who don't pass continue to throw."

Li Long remembered hearing later that in fact, after the nineties, the standard for grenade throwing for new recruits in the army was thirty meters. Now Xu Chengjun raised the standard by ten meters, and don't know how many people passed.

Xu Chengjun gave a demonstration to everyone. Someone was shooting a few hundred meters away. The dam on the north side of the Dahi Reservoir is a semicircle, and the total length is two or three kilometers, so several villages can train here at the same time.

Everyone had shot shooting for the past two days, and didn't care much about the sound of the gun. Xu Chengjun's voice was also very loud, local dialect:

"Look good, I will demonstrate once, now we are here, throwing on flat ground. The place with the red flag in front, forty meters. Throwing over counts, everyone throws three times, taking the nearest distance."

Good, Li Long felt that this standard was even stricter. Usually, the best results are taken for three practical operations, he is good, taking the worst results.

Draw a line at will under his feet, Xu Chengjun is tall and big, ready to throw, threw it into the air, and the grenade flew out rolling.

The landing point smashed up a piece of snow, everyone could see, more than ten meters away from the red flag position.

A distance of more than fifty meters.

Xu Chengjun shook his head and said:

"Haven't practiced for a few years, the hand strength is small. Alright, you guys come one by one. After one squad finishes throwing, pick it up and the next squad continues. Those who don't pass forty meters, stand on one side."

It is right for Xu Chengjun to be so strict, after all, they are all calculated as backbone militia. If you don't throw enough, then practice.

One squad went up with ten people, six passed forty meters, four didn't pass. Three of the four who didn't pass were under twenty years old, younger than Li Long. But Li Long looked, the closest throw was also thirty-five meters, and it was clearly a problem with the throwing method.

Grenade throwing is not just throwing with dead force, but also paying attention to the angle and force-generating technique. Throwing with dead force, throwing too high is definitely not far, and too low is not good.

The four who didn't pass went to pick up the bullets, picked them up and came back, except for one who was still laughing and talking to others, the other three were dejected.

Xu Chengjun didn't speak, waiting for the second squad to start throwing.

Li Long thought he should be able to throw forty meters?

As a squad leader, he was the first to throw. Fortunately, this thing has experience, tried it on the spot under his feet, found a place that was not slippery—previously in the four people, one of them slipped under his feet during one throw, and the result was a few meters away from the red flag, and the other two throws were all over, but the worst result was counted, so there was no way.

Felt that his feet were quite hard, not slippery, Li Long tried the grenade, not very heavy, so he pulled back and threw it out with force.

About forty-two or three meters.

He felt there was still spare strength, bent down and picked up another one, this time got used to it, and threw it out again, forty-five or six meters.

The third one was thrown to more than fifty meters.

The one who threw the farthest in the first squad previously was one or two meters closer than Xu Chengjun, Li Long threw it directly between the two.

"Not bad." Xu Chengjun said with a smile, "Little Long is good."

Li Long smiled, waved to the back, signaled the next person to come, and then sat down with the people who had finished throwing.

Others were chatting, two praised Li Long, saying he threw far enough, if he were in the army, he might be selected to be a bomber.

Li Long knew there were no bombers in the army, he also smiled, and chatted with others about everything.

Although Li Long is like a legend in the team, he talks less usually, but sitting together, everyone talks about various things, actually it is about the same. However, Li Long has a radio at home and knows more about national affairs, so he quickly became the central figure among these people.

Since when did the Chinese people start to pay more attention to national affairs? In the past, the big loudspeaker would play some occasionally, and newspapers could circulate in the team.

Now there is a radio, many things can be known at that time. For example, the women's volleyball team won the World Cup championship this year, the second consecutive championship, for example, the population census this year, China has exceeded one billion, for example, the country began to form the armed police force this year, for example, the 12th Congress was held this year, the nuclear submarine launched missiles underwater successfully, the chief designer also met the Iron Lady this year, etc.

Many things are not accurate for ordinary people to know, but with a radio, plus the popularization of some short videos and network platforms in later generations, Li Long knows these things quite in detail.

He talked about some things to everyone, which can be considered as popularizing national affairs.

Li Long hadn't finished speaking, the second squad's throwing had ended, and two people didn't pass.

Li Long said to those two people with a smile:

"You two should practice hard later. Strive to throw it over at once next time. Just now you should have looked at the captain's posture and force, and the angle of throwing, it is not throwing into the air at will, nor is it far if you throw it flat..."

He made gestures while speaking, letting those two people look at the direction of throwing.

Being just a temporary squad leader, Li Long didn't think about fighting for much honor, just said so. Xu Chengjun watched on the side and didn't speak, just let the third squad come over to continue throwing.

Tao Dachiang was in the third squad, Li Long focused on him, he threw more than fifty-five or six meters away, farther than Xu Chengjun.

The strength is really great.

Yang Yongqiang was in Li Long's squad, threw out about forty-one or two meters, just wiped the line.

"Alright, you guys who didn't pass, come over, everyone throws five more times." Xu Chengjun, as a military cadre, played the one-man show very well, and didn't think about wanting any suggestions from others, directly according to his own ideas.

Li Long and the others were taken to the top of the dam.

Two boxes of grenades were placed there.

But it is definitely impossible to throw now, have to wait until those who didn't pass the throwing finish throwing, and then unify to come over to throw the grenade.

After all, the explosion radius of this thing is still quite large, and the shrapnel flies quite far, so you can't blow people up.

At this time, the water in the Dahi Reservoir hasn't reached two-thirds of the summer, but the north side is relatively deep, and the ice layer is relatively thick. Li Long is thinking, don't know if the ice can be cracked later.

It's almost time to cross nine, this ice layer is at least twenty or thirty centimeters thick, the power of the wooden handle grenade is not small, Li Long plans to see later. If it can really blow a hole, maybe he can pick up some fish.

!.

More than ten minutes later, Xu Chengjun and those people came over laughing and talking. Two people hugged the box of training grenades, it seems they practiced well.

At this time, although they can't eat meat, they are really working, most teenagers in their teens are doing heavy work at home, strength is definitely there.

"Alright, don't say much, next I will tell you the essentials. Most of you threw last year, this year the standard is higher. Remember when throwing, unscrew the cover below, take out the pull ring, buckle it on the little finger, and then just like just now, hold the handle, throw it down.

Remember, the farther the better—also, don't be nervous, I don't hope that like last year in other villages in the township, someone directly threw the grenade under their feet, almost blowing people up!"

After Xu Chengjun finished speaking, he took out a live ammunition from the opened box, raised it and demonstrated it to everyone.

He unscrewed the cover, broke the oil paper, took out the pull ring inside, put the little finger through the pull ring, and then held the handle well with his right hand, raised it to everyone to indicate, and then threw it towards the ice layer of the dam.

Now there is no red flag inserted there, but Li Long visually measured this throw, at least it must be fifty meters.

The grenade fell into the ice and snow and tumbled twice and stopped and then "boom" exploded, smoke and snow powder mixed together, blown up in the air by the wind, slowly dissipating.

"Three squad leaders come over and throw first. One grenade per person. After throwing, see if there are any left, then talk."

The first squad leader threw first, threw more than forty meters, successfully exploded, next is Li Long.

Li Long is not nervous, took the grenade and looked at it. The 67-type wooden handle grenade is about the same weight as the training grenade. He unscrewed the cover, broke the paper and took out the pull ring, put it on his finger, and tried it towards the distance.

Very far away, one can see people shooting, the sound of bang bang bang, because it is daytime, one can't see the muzzle flame, but the sound echoes between the dams, quite loud.

Li Long raised the grenade and compared it, and then threw it towards the bottom of the dam with force.

Looking down from a high position, this throw actually threw almost sixty meters away, which scared himself!

"Boom!"

The grenade exploded at the farthest point, Xu Chengjun said with a smile:

"Little Long is not bad, this angle is relatively good. Alright, third squad leader."

The third squad leader was obviously a bit nervous, his hands were a bit shaking when unscrewing the cover, Xu Chengjun felt he was a bit unlikeable, patted him and said:

"Properly! Your squad is watching, don't be like a woman!"

Being patted by Xu Chengjun, the third squad leader felt relieved, and then when he officially threw, he threw about forty meters.

Standard, but still kicked by Xu Chengjun.

Three squad leaders took the lead, most people below were still excited, not nervous. After all, the impression of martial arts is engraved in the bones, for such things, who doesn't want to throw one or two personally?

Li Long was even thinking, if he got one or two and threw them directly into the small sea in summer, would it blow up a piece of fish?

Up to now, the grenades thrown out really haven't blown the ice layer, don't know if the ice is too thick or the power is not enough.

Of course there is another possibility, that is, the landing points of the bombs are not together, at most it will blow the ice into a crack, this thing, it will freeze tomorrow.

After everyone finished throwing, there were still a few left, Xu Chengjun called several squad leaders, and those who threw farther, such as Tao Dachiang, over and threw one each, and then closed the team.

Listening to the training is a bit like a play, but after experiencing it personally, I know that such live ammunition training, without incident, is considered complete. After returning this time, Xu Chengjun still has to report to the township.

Then the next day Li Long received Xu Chengjun's notice, this training ended, the township competition, or assessment, has new changes.

Five iron plate round targets will be set up on the dam top for rapid shooting—of course, this is one of them.

As for the rest of the precision shooting, it depends on each person's ability.

"Little Long, my meaning is that you don't participate in the others, just participate in this one. I think you can do it!"

Li Long thought, Captain, you really look up to me! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 346 =====
