The first four classes' results had been too 'astonishing'.
Squad leader Li Dong glanced worriedly at the ten people lying on the ground.
Zhang Cheng's body was trembling slightly. Beside him, Li Shuishui was panting, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. The fingers gripping the rifle had turned white.
The others were in similar states, trembling with nervousness.
Only Gao Fei remained calm and collected, his breathing steady, his eyes fixed on the target a hundred meters away, waiting for the order.
"Relax, don't be too nervous!"
The squad leader walked over and reminded them softly.
After waiting for about ten seconds and seeing them gradually steady their breathing, he raised his arm high: "All ready, fire!"
At the command, rifle fire exploded into the air above the shooting range.
*Da! Da! Da!*
Fifty bullets poured out from ten rifles.
At the center of the targets, gravel and dust were kicked up by the bullets.
After giving the order, Gao Fei, who was concentrating fully, was instantly enveloped by the feedback experience.
Through the iron sights, he calculated the wind speed, adjusted his breathing, and pulled the trigger.
The target a hundred meters away vibrated slightly as it was hit by bullets. Five shots were fired, the muzzle flash disappeared, and a small puff of blue smoke rose.
The gunfire stopped; shooting was complete.
"Report, Squad Leader, shooting is complete!"
"Stand up!"
"Yes!"
Gao Fei led the team to stand up, rifle resting on his right shoulder, waiting for the results.
The brief wait felt like an eternity.
Gao Fei glanced sideways at Li Shuishui and the others who had just finished shooting.
He saw the little胖, now quite strong, still trembling slightly after shooting.
The others were the same, their arms trembling slightly, their bodies shaking imperceptibly – a stress response after an adrenaline surge.
From the rear, the platoon leader in charge of shooting training picked up the intercom: "Target spotter, report scores!"
"Li Shuishui, 18 rings..."
Little胖 heard his score and gave a wry smile.
After the order, he was too nervous, and the first two shots missed the target. Only the subsequent three shots were steady.
"Yang Lin, 25 rings..."
"Zhang Cheng, 35 rings..."
Hearing this score, Fifth Squad and the other classes simultaneously let out gasps of surprise.
35 rings was already the best score on the field since live-fire target practice began.
Zhang Cheng, standing still, breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Compared to the previous classes, he was already very satisfied with the current score.
35 rings was considered quite impressive among the new recruits.
"Gao Fei, 50 rings..."
The target spotter announced the score, and the entire field erupted.
All the new recruits and squad leaders looked at Gao Fei in unison, their eyes full of shock.
50 rings – all five bullets hit the ten-ring.
Let alone the new recruits, even normally conscripted soldiers or veterans already assigned to companies.
Basically, no one could achieve a 50-ring score on their first target practice.
Feeling the shocked gazes of those around him, Gao Fei was already accustomed to it!
He had initially intended to be more low-key and aim for forty rings.
But with the feedback experience from the strongest recruit, he instantly entered a state of self-forgetfulness, and all five bullets hit the ten-ring.
If he had thirty bullets, he could guarantee every shot would hit!
"My god, Gao Fei is going against heaven! For his first live-fire target practice, he actually achieved a 50-ring score!"
"50 rings! I heard the squad leader say that ordinary new recruits and veterans usually only manage up to 40 rings in their first target practice. 50 rings, that's the mark of a sharpshooter!"
"No wonder the army wants to keep him. He's truly a good recruit, skilled in hacking, and a sharpshooter too. Terrifying!"
"Gao Fei is a hexagonal warrior, confirmed!"
The new recruits began to discuss amongst themselves in low voices.
Even the other squad leaders in charge of training couldn't help but discuss quietly with their comrades.
After all, Gao Fei's score was too astonishing!
Behind the shooting range.
Because the results of the previous few classes were too ordinary, Battalion Commander Huang and several company commanders had lost interest in watching the shooting range below.
At this moment, hearing the sudden exclamations, the company commanders stopped their conversations and looked down at the shooting range.
Before everyone could figure out what was happening on the shooting range,
The political instructor of the new recruit company began to report the results of Fifth Squad.
When the company commanders heard Zhang Cheng's score of 35 rings, they couldn't help but nod.
Finally, a decent score had emerged. 35 rings was not low in the new recruit company.
A moment later, the reporting instructor suddenly froze, looked at the waiting company commanders, swallowed, and said, "Gao... Gao Fei... 50 rings!"
The moment they heard the score, everyone's pupils contracted, and they were greatly surprised.
Although they had high expectations for Gao Fei's score, for a new recruit who had just started handling a gun, 40 rings would have been remarkable.
Moreover, even some veterans in the Sharpshooter Company and Reconnaissance Company had only achieved around 45 rings in the past.
Now, with Gao Fei's 50-ring score, it was impossible not to be shocked.
"Battalion Commander, this is a great talent, a sure prospect for a sharpshooter. You must find a way for the military region to keep him. If he's not kept, it would be a great loss," said Wu Shun, the company commander of the Sharpshooter Company, urgently.
Gao Fei's 50-ring score was top-tier even within the company.
With training, he could likely become the elite soldier of the entire company within a year.
Qian Jiaming, the company commander of the Reconnaissance Company, was not to be outdone and said, "Battalion Commander, based on Gao Fei's usual training results, his physical fitness is extremely high.
As long as we can keep him and assign him to the Reconnaissance Company, I guarantee I can train the strongest individual soldier for you!"
Company Commander Qian had also paid attention to Gao Fei's daily training results.
Given Gao Fei's demonstrated shooting talent, with post-training development in the company, he would undoubtedly become the strongest individual soldier in the entire company in the future.
The two company commanders were eager to recruit him, urging the battalion commander to find a way to keep him.
Li Changhuang, standing beside them, looked a little displeased.
These people seemed to have overlooked him and were openly poaching!
"They are all company commanders. Even if they encounter a good prospect, can't they be more discreet? Why are they speaking so carelessly!"
Battalion Commander Huang shot the two a look and said with a apologetic smile to Li Changhuang, "My apologies, Old Li. They are all roughnecks, speaking frankly. Please don't mind them!"
"It's fine. It's good that Gao Fei is valued by everyone, it brings honor to Beijing University!"
Noticing Old Li's expression, the two company commanders immediately smiled awkwardly and quickly restrained themselves.
....
The first live-fire target practice ended, and Gao Fei once again became famous in the military region.
And the soldiers in the military region, upon hearing the results, besides being amazed by his extraordinary skills, could only express their admiration.
Strong physical fitness, excellent hacking skills, sharpshooter talent, coupled with his identity as the top student in liberal arts and the original creator of the new military song.
All the new recruits and veterans had to say five words.
This kid is definitely a hexagonal warrior!
That evening after the target practice, Yao Qiang, who had returned from an outing, widened his eyes upon hearing Gao Fei's score. It was already comparable to his own performance as a new recruit.
But before he could be too shocked, he was summoned by the battalion commander to the headquarters building for a meeting.
Entering the conference room, Battalion Commander Huang sat at the front, with Company Commanders Wu Chenghu, Wu Shun, and Qian Jiaming seated on either side.
"Find a seat!"
Seeing Yao Qiang enter the conference room, Battalion Commander Huang beckoned him to sit down and then said, "As everyone knows, the new season of conscription has begun, and this year, it's our military region's turn to film the recruitment video.
An emergency meeting is being held tonight to discuss how we should film this recruitment video!"
