When I was a soldier in 1972, the recruits didn't fire guns before they left work, so after we started training, we were all paired with veterans and used their guns during training. At that time, in addition to the 54-type pistols distributed by the guard squad, the soldiers of the three infantry platoons were issued with type 56 semi-automatic rifles, and the squad leader and deputy squad leader were issued with type 56 submachine guns. The subject of shooting training is the first exercise, that is, 100-meter chest ring target precision shooting.

When I heard that shooting training was coming, I was overjoyed. Boys have loved guns and knives since they were young. In the past, all I played with was wooden guns and wooden knives, but now I want to see the real guys, can I not be happy? To tell the truth, on the first day I entered the company, I wanted to touch the gun, but I didn't dare, I could only watch the veterans walking around with guns on their backs. So it's a great feeling to borrow a gun from a veteran for the first time, especially when you're carrying it on your back.

The company lived in the compound, and the barracks did not have a training ground, so every time we practiced shooting, we took them out of the barracks and practiced in the farmland behind the military headquarters (in the winter leisure season, the people's fields did not grow crops), and the company also built a shooting support in advance (twenty-five centimeters high, you can put the gun on it, and can support the mound of two arms).

Although we have already listened to the theoretical lessons of shooting essentials before training, those what: "the left hand supports the front and bottom of the magazine, the right hand holds the front bend of the stock, the two arms clamp to keep the gun body stable, the right cheek gently slides down against the stock, the left eye is closed, the right eye is aimed, let the ruler, the crosshair, the target three points form a line, hold your breath and pull the trigger lightly" The shooting essentials sound very clear, and it is also clear in the chest, but it is not so easy to practice.

However, after practicing, everyone can basically aim decently, but Shi Huimin (Jingyang Bing) in our class can't find a target. The company commander leaned over him several times and asked him, "Where are you aiming?" Shi Zhanye muttered, "I don't know where the target is, I look at the target is two, I don't know which one to aim." The company commander looked at him with wide eyes, probably not understanding what he meant.

However, our company commander was really experienced in leading the troops, and he asked the stone comrades to continue to aim, and then circled around him, and immediately found the problem. It turned out that Shi Huimin did not close his left eye and aim with his right eye, but both eyes were open, no wonder. The company commander asked him why he didn't close his left eye and aim with his right eye. He said I had to close my eyes, and I could only close them together, and if I wanted to, I could only open them together.

The company commander looked at him and smiled, saying, "The person who received the soldiers didn't know how to do it, how do you become a soldier like this." After pondering for a moment, the company commander said, "You cover your left eye with a hat to see if you can aim with your right eye." ”

Therefore, Shi Zhan's comrades-in-arms put on the cotton hat obliquely, covered their left eye, and finally found the target. Later, because of the strong wind, the crooked hat was always blown off, so I gave him an idea: put a handkerchief into the hat half, and the remaining half was used to cover his eyes. He tried it to work very well, and in the future training, as soon as we started practicing, he took out a dirty handkerchief and hung it in front of his left eye, which was also a big scenery on the training ground...

After more than a week of training, two female soldiers appeared in our ranks (after they were assigned to the Political Department and the headquarters to type, the chiefs felt that they should also practice shooting, so they let them participate in the training).

It's hilarious! The recruits whispered, and the souls seemed to have been drawn away by two female soldiers, watching one by one lying there training, but the head couldn't help but want to turn around. The Wang comrades-in-arms in our class were even more like grass growing in their hearts, simply did not train, and directly turned their heads to look.

When the company commander came to check on the training, he still stared straight at the people. When the company commander saw this, he walked up behind him and said, "Kingdom Loyal, get up." When he got up from the ground, the company commander shouted the password: "Take a breath, stand upright, and look to the right." ”

After Wang Guozhong carried out the company commander's password, the company commander said, "Don't you want to see it?" Then look good, when you have seen enough to retrain. ”

Wang Guozhong, in full view of everyone, stood up and looked to the right (that posture was very uncomfortable, the body was straight, but the head was twisted to the right). But that's what the soldier is, the password is given, you have to carry it out, the company commander doesn't shout to look forward, he has to keep that posture still.

We all wanted to laugh on the ground, but we didn't dare to laugh, so we could only laugh secretly.

After about half an hour, Wang's comrades-in-arms shouted loudly: "Report! ”

The company commander was sitting on the field behind him at this time, and when he saw this, he said, "What?" ”

Wang Zhanyou said, "Company commander, I don't look at it. ”

The company commander said, "Keep watching, look good, let you see it for two hours in the morning." After saying that, the company commander stood up and went to check on the other class training.

That morning, Comrade Wang was miserable, standing for more than two hours, and finally when we closed the team and returned to the barracks, the company commander came over and asked: "How is it, is it comfortable to see?" ”

He didn't dare to move, nor did he dare to answer. The company commander said: "If you haven't seen enough, you can continue to watch in the afternoon training, and when you have seen enough, you will retrain." ”

He said in a hurry, "Enough, enough, never look at it again." His voice changed tone, causing us to laugh.

The company commander said, "Those who have not come out of the house, those who have lost their souls, will not cure you of this problem today!" ”

He snorted and said, "Don't look, don't look." ”

At this time, the company commander shouted to him: "Listen to the password, look forward!" ”

For a long time after that, he was the object of jokes among his comrades in the class...

After a period of training, we are going to conduct a live-fire test, and we are very excited to hear this news. After all, this is the first time we have fired a gun, and it is still a real gun. Especially when you hear that each person has to throw a grenade, it is even more exciting.

There was no suitable live-fire place near our station, so the company arranged this live-fire assessment to a village more than thirty miles away from the mountain, and the entire live-fire assessment was arranged for three full days (in addition to the assessment, we also had to help the people to work). Therefore, the cooking class also went with us in part.

In the first few days of our departure, we were actively preparing, and the borrowed guns also polished us. Of course, it's more about the anxiety and joy that coexist...
