Chapter 0041: Meng Jianguo's Selection Method (Part 1)
It doesn’t matter what the pilot unit is doing, it certainly can’t be cowardly at this time.
This was the idea of the platoon leader. Of course his squad leaders would not have diarrhea, so they all assured Gao Cheng.
"It's like that!" Gao Cheng was very satisfied with Yi Pai's attitude. He pointed at Zheng Yingqi and told him the whole story:
"A few days ago, I wanted to apply for this kid to train as a sniper. The kid mentioned to me that he was a precision shooter, so I reported it to the regiment and wanted to try it. The regiment also approved the attempt.
, so I will use your platoon as a pilot, Zheng Yingqi, first tell everyone in detail your idea."
"Yes!" Zheng Yingqi responded and started talking:
"Precision shooters are different from snipers. They already have this clear role in the US military. Their main task is to provide precise firepower strikes for infantry squads at medium and long distances. Standard snipers operate independently in small groups.
But precision shooters cooperate with the team's actions..."
Zheng Yingqi spoke eloquently, but the platoon leader was thinking: Aren't our snipers cooperating with the team's actions?
Gao Cheng naturally noticed the look of the platoon leader. After Zheng Yingqi finished speaking in general, he specifically explained: "At present, taking our seventh company as an example, there are no more than three snipers in a platoon. Your platoon will have more snipers."
There is only one person, why? Or is it because the training of snipers is too cumbersome and requires higher talent, but we can understand precision shooters as a simplified version of snipers. Without trying the specific benefits, we can only talk about them, but
At worst, we can also strengthen the firepower of the team, right?"
"It is envisaged that each class will be equipped with two precision shooters, but the details have to be explored in actual combat. Meng class, we will tentatively set the specific number of trainees at ten. Do you think so?" Gao Cheng asked Meng Jianguo for his opinion.
Jianguo nodded and said it was no problem. He had also led training teams with larger numbers, but the more people there were, the harder it was to pay attention to all individuals. Generally speaking, ten people was the best number.
"When it comes to selecting candidates, I have decided to respect Ban Meng's opinion. The platoon leader will pull you out of the platoon later. Let's go to the shooting range. Let Squad Leader Meng decide who is good and who is not!"
Gao Cheng chose to fully believe in Meng Jianguo. Although Meng Jianguo made no move, Zheng Yingqi still saw an emotion called touching from his expression.
The matter was settled like that. Just as Zheng Yingqi was about to follow Shi Jin and the others back to make preparations, Gao Cheng called out to him: "Go to the 2nd platoon to pick up Zhang Xiaofan, and go to the 3rd platoon to pick up Chengcai, and let's go to the shooting range together."
Zhang Xiaofan is a 2nd-year soldier, a sniper in the 2nd Platoon and the 5th Platoon, and became an "accurate" sniper in the 7th Platoon.
"Yes!" Zheng Yingqi responded. He naturally understood what Gao Cheng meant. With a gun master as an instructor, how could Gao Cheng not "squeeze the oil"?
…
Zhang Xiaofan and Cheng Cai mingled among the assembled teams. They were full of doubts and didn't know what they were going to do. Zheng Yingqi didn't say why when he called them, but just asked them to follow. This made the two of them a little worried. Zhang Xiaofan looked at each other.
I asked a few soldiers I knew well, but they were all confused when asked.
At this time, company commander Gao Cheng came over with a fifth-level noncommissioned officer. After seeing the fifth-level noncommissioned officer clearly, Zhang Xiaofan next to Chengcai showed a look of surprise. Chengcai curiously asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhang, who is this person?"
"King of Guns!" Zhang Xiaofan whispered.
"King of Guns?" Chengcai was puzzled, so Zhang Xiaofan added: "Your master's master's master."
He thought for a while and added another "master", the fifth-level sergeant Meng Jianguo. His seniority in the 535th Regiment was terrifying. All the snipers in the entire regiment were taught by others!
Cheng Cai was shocked, it turned out that this man was the "ancestral master" mentioned by the "master"!
He looked around curiously and found that Meng Jianguo's dark appearance was actually caused by his tanning. Apart from that, he didn't look like the masters he thought he should look like. But looking at Zhang Xiaofan's respectful look next to him, he thought he was following a platoon today.
I can't help but have some guesses in my mind.
The team quickly set off. The shooting range was not far from here, so it was impossible to pass directly. Gao Cheng and the fifth-level noncommissioned officer walked at the end. Seeing this, Chengcai pricked his ears and quietly listened to the conversation between Gao Cheng and the fifth-level noncommissioned officer:
"Meng Ban, do you have any requirements for shooting?"
"Use uncalibrated guns. Let them calibrate the guns themselves. Two people take turns. Each person gets 10 rounds of ammunition and shoots 150 meters prone."
"OK!"
Listening to the conversation between the two, Chengcai began to think more and more in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was an opportunity. It was inevitable that he would peek at the "ancestor" not far away with his fiery eyes from time to time. How keen was Meng Jianguo's feeling? Soon
He noticed Chengcai's helmet, but he didn't take it seriously and pretended he didn't see it.
When we arrived at the shooting range, the logistics had already prepared the firearms, but they were all uncalibrated. The soldiers were puzzled and didn't know what this meant.
"Group of two, prepare! Starting from the third class, the gun has not been calibrated. When the time comes, it will be calibrated by yourself. It will take 10 rounds of bullets and a 150-meter prone chest target. It will take a total of 150 seconds with the calibrated gun! The first group, prepare!" Gao Cheng said.
The stopwatch came out and it was obvious that he was the referee today.
Although the soldiers in the first platoon were confused, the squad leader's order soon sounded. Two soldiers from the first squad came out confused, took out their guns, and took the ten-round magazines that had been prepared.
He stepped forward with the calibration tools and entered the shooting position.
The school gun distance is generally between 25 meters and 70 meters, and the 7th company usually defaults to 50 meters. The two people in the first group looked at the target 150 meters away, a little dazed, but Gao Cheng had already pressed the timer and said:
"Stop dawdling, the timer has started!"
One soldier was smarter and knew better after seeing the telescope next to him. He first fine-tuned it according to the normal operation, then started shooting, observing the impact point through the telescope, and then calibrated the gun. Generally, there are three rounds for calibrating the gun, and he used two.
He completed the calibration and then started shooting. Except for the two test shots, he only had eight bullets. The first two test shots he fired only hit the target and had no ring.
The second serve produced 4 rings.
Compared to this soldier, his companions were a lot worse. After all, they were just new recruits. They had to juggle five test shots before completing the school gun training, and then started shooting. Their results were a mess, and they didn't even finish the test when the time was up.
Finish shooting.
The recruit stood up in sweat, feeling ashamed when facing the company commander.
This is a subject that the 7th company has never been exposed to. In addition, this company is less than three months old. Gao Cheng did not blame him. He just signaled to go down. Meng Jianguo took the gun, checked it, and fired the last bullet at the target.
He walked out, checked that there was no ammunition before handing the gun to the soldier beside him, and whispered:
"The psychological quality is average, and the calibration gun is not accurate."
"Where is he?" Gao Cheng was talking about the non-commissioned officer who performed well.
"Solid foundation, average psychological quality." Meng Jianguo commented in a low voice.
Gao Cheng sighed inwardly. He thought the first soldier's performance was okay, but it was obviously not in Meng Jianguo's eyes. He was an expert in this area, so he had no way to refute. He could only shout: "Next group!"
Two more soldiers from the first squad came forward.
Zheng Yingqi, standing in the queue, wondered in his mind the reason for such an assessment. Training or assessment all have a purpose. What is the assessment based on the method proposed by Gao Cheng and Meng Ban?
