Chapter 45: Disaster Relief Drill

  Since the last assessment ended, our team has started training professional subjects.

  Day after day, training in infantry specialized subjects.

  Our military career is getting more and more wonderful.

  After the assessment was over, Lian Zhang fulfilled his promise during the assessment that he would let me learn sniper rifle.

  I am now envied by many comrades in the regiment.

  Because every time we trained with firearms, I was the only new recruit and a few old soldiers who used sniper rifles.

  The old soldiers also taught me sniper rifle with great care, and the squad leader even gave me his precious book about sniper rifles.

  That day, we were arranged by Lian Zhang to go to the shooting range for weapon operation training.

  We arrived at the training ground afterwards.

  When Lian Zhang announced the kneeling posture, we all whispered in the corridor: "It's over."

  Because kneeling posture aiming at fixed training is very hard.

  Do you still remember our first kneeling time? After a long time, both feet felt like they weren't ours. Even when the instructor announced standing up, we didn't want to get up because it was very painful to move slightly.

  That day during training, the class leader took me alone to another place for special treatment.

  After I and the monitor came to the woods, the monitor ordered me to climb onto a super-large stone.

  After I climbed up, the class leader also came up.

  "Xiao Bin, listen to the command, kneel down and take aim."

  Upon hearing the class leader's command, I immediately crouched down into a shooting stance.

  The monitor sat on a rock, took off his military boots from under his feet and tied the shoelaces to the rifle barrel in my hand.

  Good boy, these two military boots are still a bit heavy.

  A peace is about as heavy as a water jug full of water.

  Looking at the class monitor's current appearance, I couldn't help but think: "He's just a big roughneck."

  The class monitor even took off his socks and was scraping his toenails with a dagger by his side.

  "What are you looking at? Mind your own business, don't slack off." The class monitor shouted at me when he saw me staring at him.

  I turned my head back and seriously practiced aiming.

  The monitor, while trimming his toenails, said to me: "Xiao Bin, you're doing well. As a sniper, after finding the best sniping position each time, the sniper must determine the scope of the task and immediately choose a favorable location to perform the task. However, don't forget that an ideal observation spot for the sniper will also be considered a good spot by the enemy. Therefore, the sniper must avoid choosing conspicuous places and stay away from objects and terrain that attract attention and are easily distinguishable. When considering the sniping position, one should make decisions based on balancing these two factors."

  It provides the best effect for shooting and observation.

  2. It provides the best concealment effect to prevent enemy detection

  I carefully noted down what the class monitor said about the key points of a sniper choosing the best sniping location.

  At this time, the class leader said to me: "I'll tell you about the mobile sniper position..."

  The whole day, the class leader told me a lot about the core essentials of snipers.

  The class monitor said a lot.

  The class leader also taught very professionally.

  I'm falling more and more in love with sniper rifles.

  Every night when everyone is asleep, I hide under the quilt and read books about sniper rifles with a small flashlight.

  In half a year's time, I repeatedly read through the three sniper rifle books that our class monitor gave me.

  Whenever I have something I don't understand, I will ask the class leader to explain it to me one by one.

  Unconsciously, time has arrived in June.

  These days, the sky has been frequently pouring heavy rain. Sometimes there are even torrential rains.

  It has been raining for almost a week. Our training was also affected and we can only train other subjects indoors.

  That day, Lian Chang gathered us in the hall.

  Lian Chang announced the order from above.

  Due to continuous rain, it is highly likely that accidents will occur in various places.

  Superiors require each unit to make good preparations for flood prevention and emergency response.

  After the dismissal, each of our classes began to prepare materials according to the allocation by the company commander.

  Life jacket, shovel, rope, sack and so on. We are all fully prepared.

  With an order from our superior, we can set off at any moment.

  During this period, we were all on standby in the team and could only have simple physical training at the club every day.

  That night, after I came back from my post and took off my camouflage uniform, just as I was about to go to bed.

  Suddenly...

  "Emergency assembly."

  He came, and I was startled in my heart.

  We all suddenly became tense at once.

  We quickly put on our clothes, according to each one's division of labor

  People quickly gathered at the bus stop.

  The rain has stopped by now.

  Comrade Liang stood in front of us and shouted: "Comrades, XX City has encountered a dangerous situation tonight. The superior orders our regiment to rush to the entrance of the division headquarters immediately to assemble and wait for instructions, to support XX City and rescue the safety of the people."

  We all boarded the train with well-trained movements.

  When our company and other companies arrived, the regimental commander's command vehicle also arrived.

  The team leader began to mobilize us with a loudspeaker.

  When we got on the bus again, we were stunned.

  Because the car was heading in the direction of returning to Lianqiu.

  It wasn't until we returned to our unit that we realized what had actually happened...

  All of this is a drill implemented by the team on us.

  What a relief...

  In the following days, we will practice our mobile reaction ability.

  Every evening we watch the news broadcast of the situation in various places.

  At this time I thought of my hometown PN city.

  That night after the exercise ended, I used an IC phone card in the company's telephone booth to call my old man.

  "Hello, who is it?" The phone transmitted the long unheard voice of Dad.

  "Dad, it's me, I'm Xiao Bin."

  "Haha, it's Xiao Bin, you've finally called, you haven't called home in half a year to check in, wait a minute, I'll pass the phone to your mom."

  Soon, my mother's choked voice came from the phone.

  "My dear son, you finally called Mom."

  Hearing mom's voice, I feel a bit sad, I should have called mom earlier.

  I said to my mom: "Mom, I'm sorry. I promise you that from now on, whenever I have time, I'll call home."

  "No need, no need, Xiao Bin, you just come once every two or three months and that's enough, Mom just misses you too much."

  "Mom, it's been raining a lot lately. I saw on TV that many places were affected by the disaster. Is our hometown okay?" I asked eagerly.

  "Don't worry, kid. Everything is fine at home. Your brother's getting married next month. Lately, the whole family has been busy decorating his new house. In the future, the third floor will belong to your brother. When you return from serving in the army, I and your dad will move to the first floor, and we'll leave the second floor for you as a future marital home."

  Listening to Mother's words, my eyes were moistened, and I said with a heartache: "Mother, if you and Father move to the first floor, then I won't retire, I'll stay in the army for life."

  "You little stinker, that's not right. Your mother's greatest wish now is to see you and your brother both get married as soon as possible and then have big fat grandsons for me."

  Hearing mom mention marriage and children again, it's as if the scene before I enlisted where mom urged us to make money and marry a wife has appeared once more.

  I made an excuse and hung up the phone.

  Han Ruoyun, I thought of my first love Han Ruoyun again.

  In the army, it was only during training that I wouldn't think of Han Ruoyun.

  I picked up the phone wanting to dial Han Ruoyun's mobile number. Every time I hesitated between picking it up and putting it down.

  To fight or not to fight...

  In the end, I shook my head, hung up the phone and went back to class.

  Now, I am a soldier, and my goal is to be an excellent soldier, bring honor to my family, and let my parents receive good news from me.

  I promised Mom that I would let her see the armed forces knocking on the door and drumming to bring good news to our family.
