Chapter Thirty: A Test of Skill

  When several people walked up, several soldiers led by a few officers saluted first.

  Wu Bing carefully sized up the several military officers who had arrived, and saw that their ranks were either regimental or company commanders. In the center was a lieutenant general's insignia. Seeing a glittering gold star surrounded by a group of younger officers, this person must be the highest commander of this unit.

  The lieutenant who followed the officer pointed at Wu Bing and said: The officer is this man.

  This junior officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel looked at Wu Bing with great interest and said to him: "You're the one who had a dispute with the company commander at the recruitment office, right? And you even made a bet with the company commander that if he lost, he would give up his position as company commander to you, but if you lost, you would be his orderly for life."

  Wu Bing replied to the young general officer with a neither arrogant nor humble tone: "Yes, sir. But I'm not interested in his company commander position, I just want to form an augmented platoon. If there are too many personnel, I'm afraid the troops can't afford it."

  "Oh, what kind of reinforcement. My 51st Division can't afford it." The young general officer said.

  Wu Bing heard him mention the 51st Division and immediately thought: I said it looked so familiar, it turned out to be Wang Yaowu, the commander of the Central Army's 51st Division. This army was a brave and victorious army in the War of Resistance, an army that had made brilliant achievements in the War of Resistance.

  Wu Bing was glad that he had accidentally joined this unit, and respectfully said to the military officer he admired: "Sir, I think it's better for me to compare with the company commander first. I don't want to be arrogant before proving my abilities."

  Alright, I'll give you this chance. If you win, I'll grant the request you've made, that's a promise from me, Commander Wang Yaowu of the 51st Division. Commander Wang looked at the young man in front of him with great admiration.

  Then he said to the two of them: How do you want to compete?

  Chang replied: Sir, he was invited by the host to paint a Taoist picture, and I just followed him.

  Yes, we have the heroic spirit of the 51st Division. After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Wu Bing: How do you want to compare?

  Wu Bing said at this time: Since you asked me to say it, I'll just say how we compare.

  My method is a combination of rifle and pistol shooting at targets 200 meters in front, with the winner being whoever hits the target while moving.

  The detailed requirements are that the first shot of the rifle must be fired at a distance of over 200 meters and hit the target outside 200 meters. Then, complete the shooting in the kneeling and prone positions within the distance from 200 meters to 50 meters. At 50 meters, place a disassembled handgun with five rounds of ammunition.

  After completing the handgun assembly, complete the last five moving targets 'shot' in front of you during exercise.

  Does Yilong have confidence? Wang Shichang asked beside him, who was about to compete with Wu Bing in a row.

  He patted his chest and said: Don't worry, Master, there's no problem.

  Wu Bing interrupted the two men's conversation, saying: "Commander, my request has not been fully stated. We must complete our 'shooting' of the forward target within two minutes."

  The opposite Wang Yaowu and the people around him were stunned, and after a moment of silence, there was a burst of discussion. Wu Bing heard someone say: How is this possible? Completing the shooting of rifles and pistols within two minutes, and the pistol was still disassembled into parts.

  The king was stunned and then smiled and said: interesting.

  He turned to the staff behind him and said, "Let's prepare according to his requirements! Also, disassemble my pistol and place it in 50 places for them to compete with. He handed over the pistol at his waist to this staff officer.

  Then he said to the officer in charge of the shooting practice here just now: Bring two rifles over.

  The officer who led the team to practice live firing with real bullets hastily walked over with two brand new semi-formal rifles.

  Officer Wang waved his hand and let him hand over the rifle to the two men, who took it over and checked it. Wu Bing opened the magazine and looked at the yellow-dented bullets inside, aiming at the target in front of him and getting a sense of what was going on.

  At this time, the staff officer ran back and said that everything was ready. General Wang asked the two men: Who will come first?

  Wu Bing said with a smile: Since I've drawn the way, then I'll come first, and it's also good to set an example for Commander Lian.

  The crowd came to a place 200 meters away from the target. Wu Bing said to the crowd: "Which brother will give us a time?"

  The king said: I will personally give you a deadline.

  Thank you, sir. I will wave at you after finishing the shot. Wu Bing said.

  Wu Bing shed his outer long shirt, revealing the short jacket underneath. He adjusted himself slightly. At the 200-meter starting line, with gun muzzle down and back to the target, he waited for the start command.

  "As soon as" hearing Captain Wang's start command, Wu Bing instantly turned around and fired a shot at the target in front of him. After firing a shot, he didn't even look back and ran forward with a slant, but soon changed direction again after running out two Z-shaped paths.

  It's just a sideways roll, one leg kneeling on the ground, firing two shots at the target in front. After two shots, get up and run out to the front, running two Z-shapes, then suddenly prostrate forward and fire. Wu Bing quickly got up after completing the rifle shooting, while putting the rifle behind his back

  In a few steps, he arrived at where the handgun parts were placed.

  Wu Bing took a look and found it was a Browning pistol, stretched out his hand to grab the parts on the ground. These parts were like magic, instantly turning into a complete gun. Wu Bing loaded the magazine and fired five shots in succession at the moving targets in front of him, left and right, after which

  Only saw the red heart of the target splashing wood chips.

  After completing the shot, Wu Bing waved his hand at several Wang officials 200 meters away. Wang official looked at the time and was shocked. He said to his aide: Let someone bring me his target.

  The target was brought forward one step and presented to Wang Changguan and others. Everyone saw that the bullet holes in the center of each target were all red hearts, and they were shocked. Someone asked: Master, how long did it take him to shoot?

  1 minute 43 seconds. Everyone was stunned. Then Officer Wang said to the crowd again: This person is not simple, military movements are abnormally standardized, and we must "investigate" this person's background.

  Yes. Everyone replied.

  He turned his head and asked in a series of long questions: Can you really do it?

  One after another, with a long and awkward face, said: I admit that I may not be as good as him, but I still want to give it a try.

  Watching Wu Bing walk to the starting line, Captain Wang shouted "Start". Yilianzhang repeated Wu Bing's action and quickly completed the "shot" at the target in front. Staff officer Xue became clever after Yilianzhang finished the "shot", and then let people...

  Bring the target over. Only four of the targets had their red hearts hit, while the other four were only hit on the 6th and 7th rings, and two actually missed the target altogether.

  Wang said after looking at the target: 3 minutes and 11 seconds, a long losing streak.
