Who is the gun king of China?

Chinese captain in the eyes of former Soviet generals.

Slingshot shooter

Another bad weather.

The wind is like a whip, and the rain is like a note. Standing in front of the artillery corps, Shang Tong, the fourth company commander, showed his thin cheeks. His eyes shot two elastic lines through the rain curtain-straight waist and blue eyes, and the sharp and cold eyes of the former Soviet Union's deputy defense minister wearing the rank of general, which is undoubtedly an unavoidable challenge for every soldier.

With a brief command, the captain dispersed his artillery team into a pit with a golden stalk-a 200-meter rapid-fire target platform. At the moment of turning his head, he saw that the general's head failed and "bit" an ear on the teacher who welcomed the foreign teacher.

Maybe it's saying-little guy! Children's wear shows heart overflow-diaosi laughs at herself. 14 years ago, when Shang Tong of 1.60m reported for duty as the "Four Company of Sharpshooters" in charge of overseas shooting performance, the company commander, a big man like an iron tower, once shouted angrily: "Why is there a little guy? Bullshit! "

Unexpectedly, seven years later, Captain Dalian gave the 080 1 submachine gun, which symbolizes the "gun king", to the "little guy" with both conviction and incomprehension. As his successor, Tong Shangxian went from soldier to squad leader to platoon leader until he became his deputy. The whole climbing road is a mystery that he can't guess-Tong Shangxian's first year as a soldier. As a result, many companies have broken the shooting training rules that have been used for many years. However, at the shooting range, the bullets flew surprisingly neatly, with 8 rings, 9 rings and 10 rings.

It was not until the day he left office that Shang Tong revealed the answer to him-

"Before I became a soldier, I was an excellent catapult. Of course, an excellent catapult is not necessarily an excellent marksman, just as an excellent marksman is not necessarily an excellent catapult. But the two have one thing in common; Quasi. With this, it is enough to make people think deeply. Playing slingshot is like walking in the kingdom of freedom; If you learn to shoot, you will step into the inevitable realm; When they are familiar with both, they enter the real kingdom of freedom, that is, they are not playing slingshots or shooting. "

What's that called? Shang Tong called it shooting.

Green back and golden chest

At this moment-1991June 5, the captain was carrying his gun team in the rain in an empty valley covered by short and lush Pinus massoniana at the foot of Zijin Mountain. Suddenly, the flurry swept away like a whip, and the sharp gunfire was immediately swallowed up by the rolling dust and thrown back into the valley.

The pause is only a moment. However, the sudden change did not escape the keen blue eyes on the viewing platform. To the general's surprise, the squad leader whose right eye was involved in the dust and his gunner did not hesitate to move the butt of the gun to his left shoulder and aim with his left eye, while the flaming tracer still held Flametail on the bull's-eye 200 meters away.

"Senior colonel, the captain is a natural sharpshooter-draw your bow left and right!" The excited general chose an idiom from China to express his praise for the captain.

Nodded, senior colonel seems to be quite a chest. As one of the outstanding grass-roots commanders of foreign military divisions, Tong Shangxian was inspected by military officials and even heads of government from 65 countries during his six years as the company commander of four companies, and his company won 97 foreign military medals for this. At this moment, the general's praise can not help but arouse the strong desire of senior colonel teachers. He wanted to tell the captain of the general about the glory outside the training ground.

-In the mountain village of western Zhejiang, which is hundreds of miles away from the West Lake, a rural woman +5 mu of responsibility field+in-laws who have lost their ability to work constitute the "back" of the company commander of the magic gun. However, on his chest, there are 27 foreign medals, 3 third-class medals and 1 second-class medals, as well as the honor of bringing out 128 special forces;

-During his six years as a company commander, Tong Shangxian gave up eight enviable opportunities, such as being a shooting team coach in the military region and being a provincial military region staff officer in his hometown. However, among the gunmen he brought out, 29 were selected into the national shooting team or took up the position of professional shooting coach;

-/kloc-in the early spring of 0/986, the wife in labor sent three urgent telegrams to Tong Shangxian, but Tong Shangxian, who was obsessed with the shooting range, called back and asked her to "hold on for a few more days". As a result, the angry colonel sent him directly from the training ground to the south train with a command car. Seeing the child, Shang Tong couldn't wait to take out the red military ID card and moved forward twice in the child's slightly opened eyes. When he saw this reaction, Shang Tong, a new father, suddenly shone at the moment-a dead shot knows the value of eyes too well!

Invisible hand in the realm of no self

"Without a pair of good eyes, you will never be a sharpshooter!" This is the unforgettable advice that the recruits who join the fourth company every year get from the company commander of the God Gun. Time and again, smelting and forging beyond the limit of physical strength are carried out in all bad weather-the wind and rain suddenly rise, and in the narrow valley, the soldiers stare at their backs and hit their eyes like a whip; At a shooting range in Ma Pingchuan, frozen snowdrifts and several "snow walls" suddenly stood up. Only the eyelashes that shake from time to time and the determined eyes make people feel that this is a combination of life; In hot summer ... like a dark night ... special "aerobics" cast all-weather "golden eye". At this time, the excited captain took out the "Hongtashan" that he was reluctant to smoke, forcing everyone to pick up one. Then, he sat on the target platform with the butt of his gun, took a sip of his cigarette, squinted at the blue sky and said meaningfully, "He didn't design the war himself. Don't expect to win a good battle in good weather!"

However, the training ground is different from the battlefield after all. Not only senior university teachers, but also higher military command institutions are trying to eliminate the distance between them. To the pride of the senior colonel, his subordinates made a useful attempt-that is, let the soldiers completely eliminate the consciousness of "exercise" and regard every shooting as a real battle. Based on this, the captain often instills in his gunners the idea that going to the training ground is like going to the battlefield, and only one target-"enemy" is captured in the gap of sight. At this moment, any scruples and distractions will bring doom to destruction. Only selflessness can ultimately destroy your opponent and save yourself. To this end, the captain stipulated a series of comprehensive technical and psychological training for the gunmen. When the soldiers can make outstanding achievements with the corrected guns, Tong Shangxian began to constantly change guns, terrain and enemy situation ... and all this was done in various bad climates. As a result, soldiers wander between strangeness and familiarity, collide between sex and personality, and the influence of physiology, psychology, technology and environment is gradually eliminated. From then on, whether in the training ground, examination room or dining table.

No matter how bad the weather is, no matter what the generals, marshals and even the president are facing, the officers and men of the Fourth Company have only one form-soldiers in battle.

Faced with the "selfless realm" of this kind of shooting, a British lieutenant general, known as "the first shot in Great Britain", made the following evaluation after examining Tong Shangxian's shooting performance and shooting training-"This is shooting beyond the general meaning, and it is impossible to understand the essence of shooting, that is, aiming at and manipulating bullets with your heart!"

Therefore, even now, heavy rain hangs over the valley at noon, as dark as dusk. Mud and wind and rain make the gunman stumble or pause from time to time. With the rhythm of detonation, several groups of targets scattered on the slope are still destroyed one by one. However, just as Tong Shangxian led the gunmen to the last group of targets, a whirlwind suddenly swooped down on the ridge and an amazing scene appeared. One of Tong Shangxian's targets-a blue chest ring target-finally failed to withstand the pressure of strong winds and suddenly jumped forward. However, it was just a quiver, as if it were held by an invisible hand. With the rhythm of machine gun explosion hanging in the air, the heart hanging on the viewing platform held its breath at this moment. It was not until the last note of the long explosion disappeared into the valley with the end sound that the target lay down in despair.

The rain suddenly stopped and the valley was empty. In an instant, thunderous applause rang out from the viewing platform. Looking back from the telescope, the general hesitated for a long time. Is it just an amazing scene that evokes the general's memories of the war years? Or did the superb shooting skills of the Chinese captain cause some kind of epiphany for the general? It was not until the captain appeared in front of him with a muddy gun team wind that the general's cold face showed a heartfelt smile. The general leaned down and hugged the captain who looked as strong as iron to him.

Blood cast city wall ...

Looking up at the brilliant scene on the viewing platform-generals from other countries are scrambling to look at pieces of gun targets with holes in the middle like a hornet's nest. The captain's dark face was filled with deep pride. Suddenly, another familiar lens came into view. He saw that the Soviet general who returned to the viewing platform once again "bit" an ear with the teacher of the senior colonel, and Feng Feng sent an accurate transliteration-"Captain Tong, I saw the gun king of China!"

The captain didn't laugh. His eyes followed the "Red Flag Medal" worn by the Soviet general on the gunman's chest and swept every resolute face. "To be exact, this is a blood-stained wall," the captain muttered to himself.

In the valley where the rainbow shines, there stands a bloody wall and a list of foreign generals who salute the wall.
