Chapter 12 He is a natural sharpshooter
boom!
The crisp sound of gunfire echoed, and the bullet flew happily towards the target.
The corners of Xu Yan's lips curled up silently. At the moment the gun went off, he seemed to have seen the result, which was that the bullet flew towards the target and hit the red bull's eye representing the ten rings.
The bullet hits the target!
The smile on Xu Yan's lips gradually froze. Although he could not see the bullet marks within his field of vision, his intuition told him that the bullet did not hit the bull's eye. In other words, he did not hit the ten rings.
"This is impossible!" Xu Yan frowned. It's not like he had never shot a gun before. According to his previous condition, he should have hit the ten rings, but the result was not what he expected.
Just as Xu Yan was pondering the reason, Tang Jue picked up the telescope and looked at the target.
"How many rings?" Mo Wenyuan asked.
Tang Jue handed him the telescope, and Mo Wenyuan hurriedly took it and looked at it, only to see that the bullet hit the inside of the dotted line marked with three rings, and it actually made three rings.
"Sanhuan, it seems that this gun has a significant impact. I'm afraid this kid won't be able to complete the test." Mo Wenyuan murmured, withdrew his gaze from the target and turned to look at Xu Yan.
When he took a look, his eyebrows raised immediately, and he was surprised to find that Xu Yan did not continue shooting, but turned his body away from the gun, staring at the target in the distance, frowning, as if thinking about something.
"Could it be that this kid discovered something wrong? "
An absurd idea came into his mind, and Mo Wenyuan was shocked himself, but he quickly shook his head in self-mockery, put aside this unrealistic idea, and turned to look at Tang Jue, only to find that he was staring at Xu Yan with sparkling eyes, which were so bright that it was a little dazzling.
"This kid seems to have seen something. Maybe he can really bring me a surprise." Tang Jue murmured, his eyes becoming brighter.
Just as the two of them were observing Xu Yan with their own thoughts, the sound of chaotic footsteps was heard. He Yongfei, Du Zhen and other veterans of the reconnaissance company finally arrived at the shooting range after chasing him closely.
"I just heard a gunshot. The guy started shooting. We arrived at the right time." He Yongfei said excitedly. A group of people looked towards Xu Yan and the target in the distance.
Seeing Xu Yan staring at the target in a trance and not shooting again for a long time, Du Zhen couldn't help but ask, "Why did you stop? Could it be that it's over?"
"No, we only heard one gunshot on the road. If the shooting was over, someone over there would report the target." He Yongfei shook his head.
"Quickly take a look, how many rings did that guy shoot?" Du Zhen urged.
He Yongfei picked up the telescope and looked at the target in the distance. He saw a bullet mark on the target in the third ring area. He looked at it again in disbelief and wondered, "Strange, how come it only hit the third ring!"
"Three rings, no way, let me see." Du Zhen heard it and quickly snatched the telescope from He Yongfei's hand and looked at the target. Seeing that it was indeed three rings, he was immediately happy, "Three rings, it's really three rings, this kid is not omnipotent, he is not good at shooting, haha."
"Maybe he has never shot a target before."
"That should be the case. It's not bad to get a three-ring in his first shooting. We expected too much from him."
"It's not that we had high expectations of him, it's that he over-praised himself, saying that he is not a strength type but a smart type. This time he got slapped in the face!"
Everyone started talking and staring at Xu Yan jokingly.
He Yongfei looked at Xu Yan, the target board, and Tang Jue. He felt that something was wrong. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I always feel something is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"He scored three rings, and we were all disappointed in him. Logically, the company commander should be even more disappointed, but look at the company commander's expression..."
After hearing what He Yongfei said, everyone realized something was wrong. Only Du Zhen said stubbornly, "The company commander is a black-faced man. When has he ever had any unnecessary expressions on his face?"
Under the attention of everyone, Xu Yan stared at the target in the distance, trying hard to see clearly how many rings he had hit. However, at a distance of 200 meters, he could see the bull's eye clearly, but not the bullet marks, let alone the dotted lines marking the number of rings. He had no way of judging how many rings he had hit, or how far he was from the bull's eye of ten rings.
Xu Yan hesitated for a moment, then turned back to Tang Jue and said, "Captain, can you let me take a look at the target?"
"You are not allowed to look at the target before the shooting is over." Tang Jue refused, but thought in his heart that this boy was really sharp and seemed to have discovered something wrong.
"Then can I look at another blank target?" Xu Yan settled for the next best option.
This time Tang Jue did not refuse. He nodded and asked an old soldier to bring a blank target and place it in front of him.
Xu Yan stared at the target in front of him for a moment, then looked at the target in the distance, trying his best to recall some details before and after his shooting. At a certain moment, his eyes flickered, and he pointed his finger at the target beside him, muttering, "This should be the place I shot at just now!"
Tang Jue and Mo Wenyuan looked in the direction Xu Yan pointed. Their pupils shrank sharply and they stared at Xu Yan in shock and disbelief. It turned out that the location he pointed was exactly the same as the bullet mark on the target in the distance. In other words, he actually saw where the bullet mark was. This was a distance of 200 meters, and he could even see such a tiny bullet mark. Such eyesight was simply astonishing. He was a natural sharpshooter!
"What is he doing?" Du Zhen asked puzzledly not far away.
"It seems to be to determine the location of the bullet marks, analyze the trajectory, and then adjust the shooting angle." He Yongfei said uncertainly.
"Don't be ridiculous as to judging bullet marks. This is a distance of 200 meters. I have never heard of anyone who can use the scope of a Type 95 automatic rifle to clearly see the position of bullet marks on a target 200 meters away." Du Zhen sneered and turned his disdain on this statement because it was simply impossible.
"Look, he's about to shoot again."
Someone suddenly pointed at Xu Yan and said, and a group of people looked at him at the same time. They saw Xu Yan's eyes close to the crosshairs and muttered, "Three points in a straight line, the crosshairs are two centimeters lower, there was a deviation before, it should be adjusted, the adjustment angle is..."
“It should be here.”
Xu Yan simulated the previous ballistic trajectory in his mind, used the shooting length of 200 meters and the deviation on the target board to calculate the angle that should be adjusted, made adjustments, and then decisively pulled the trigger.
boom!
Another bullet was fired. This time, Xu Yan stared at the target. Although he still couldn't see the bullet mark clearly, he was able .
"Eight rings!"
This time, without waiting for Tang Jue and others to look at the target, Xu Yan muttered it in a low voice.
Tang Jue and others looked over and saw that Xu Yan had hit an eight-ring on the target in the distance. Du Zhen, He Yongfei and others did not hear Xu Yan's muttering, so they were not too shocked. However, Tang Jue and Mo Wenyuan who were beside Xu Yan were filled with shock. This guy could really see the bullet marks and automatically correct the gun.
Seeing that he had scored eight rings, although he had already lost nine rings and would fail the test if he lost one more ring, there was something unexpected on his face, that was the confidence on his face, because he had completely mastered the deviation angle of the gun.
"The angle is still a little off!" Xu Yan murmured, made another slight adjustment, and pulled the trigger once again.
boom!
The bullet whizzed out and hit the red heart of the ten rings!
Bang, bang, bang…
Finally he hit ten rings. Xu Yan had no more worries. He aimed at the correct angle and fired one shot after another. Each shot was faster than the last and every shot hit ten rings. In a moment, he had finished the remaining seven shots.
"Finished, ninety-one rings!" Xu Yan got up from the ground and spoke confidently.
"Ninety-one rings!" As if in response to his words, the old soldier in the distance reported the target and took the target card back.
The entire shooting range was deathly silent. Tang Jue, Mo Wenyuan, Du Zhen, He Yongfei and other veterans of the reconnaissance company, as well as the staff of the shooting range, all the people present were stunned!
