Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 62 The Veteran's Mind

"The platoon leader!"

Li Zheng stood up straight with a disturbed expression.

"Yeah." Hou Jun nodded slightly, then stretched out his head and glanced behind the watchtower, reached out and took the book over, and flipped it over in his hand.

"A college student is a college student, and he never forgets to read while standing guard."

He closed the scroll, shook it in his hand, and said, "But you can't be distracted while standing guard. You are in the army now, not in school. Do what you do and love what you do. If you are a soldier, you should be a soldier. When you study, you should study. You can't be half-hearted. "

After finishing speaking, he threw the book on the table and warned, "Don't be an example."

"Yes!"

Li Zheng knew that he was wrong, so he quickly admitted his mistake.

"I won't dare in the future."

Hou Jun walked aside, sat down on the steps of the stairs, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one, and sat there enjoying himself puffing.

Li Zheng glanced at him secretly, seeing the veteran Hou Jun's leisurely look, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, the company didn't seem to have seen other people smoking, and the recruits were even banned from smoking. This veteran seemed really special.

Hou Jun seemed to notice that Li Zheng was peeking at him, and said with a smile, "What? Do you think I'm blatantly violating the rules?"

Li Zheng shook his head and nodded, so he pretended not to hear clearly.

"Ah? What did you say, platoon leader?"

Hou Jun saw Li Zheng's careful thinking, and didn't pierce it. He took out the cigarette case and handed it forward, asking, "One?"

Li Zheng shook his head this time: "I don't smoke."

Hou Jun smiled: "Count!"

Li Zheng couldn't help but said, "Not smoking doesn't mean you're cowardly."

He regretted the words.

After all, he is the platoon leader, and if he replies by himself, will he be unhappy?

Unexpectedly, Hou Jun didn't mind at all, he put away the cigarette and sat there to continue smoking.

After smoking one, order another.

Li Zheng asked cautiously: "Platoon leader, do you have something on your mind?"

Hou Jun was stunned for a moment, the cigarette stuck between his fingers froze in his mouth, after a long while he glanced at Li Zhengfang and asked him, "Did you see it?"

Li Zheng smiled: "It's all written on his face."

Hou Jun then sighed, and said to himself: "Damn it, the recruits can see it."

Li Zheng said, "Is it because of the failure of the last target shooting?"

"You recruit, you know how to play ball!" Hou Jun's tone was obviously displeased this time: "That's called target shooting? Is that target shooting? Have you ever seen a target shooting wire?"

Li Zheng was far away at the time, but he didn't see anything clearly, so he said, "I don't understand, I was too far away, so I didn't see clearly."

Hou Jun said: "That subject is called 'demolition', not target shooting. It is a special sniping method that simulates the need for long-range emergency demolition, understand?"

Li Zheng really didn't understand, so he could only shake his head.

Hou Jun snorted softly and said, "The recruit!"

After taking two puffs of cigarettes, he suddenly said, "Are you planning to serve as a soldier for two years before leaving?"

Li Zheng felt that Hou Jun's thinking was too jumpy. He was talking about sniping just now, but now he suddenly brought up the topic of how many years he was a soldier.

He said honestly, "Well, that's the plan."

Hou Jun was silent for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "Yes, a college student of a prestigious university has a bright future. Of course it won't be too long if he chooses to join the army. It's a pity..."

Li Zheng asked curiously, "What's the pity?"

Hou Jun said: "It takes at least three years for a good sniper to become a good sniper, unless you are a talented sniper. I planned to teach you all my skills, but it is a pity that you only stay for two years, so what a fart!" "

Li Zheng said: "I don't learn, but someone learns. You can teach others, platoon leader."

Hou Jun suddenly became angry: "Do you think who wants to learn the sniper profession? The whole battalion of our second battalion can enter the sniper squad I lead. There are only ten soldiers. I said, Li Zheng, do you really look down on snipers? gone?"

Li Zheng quickly said: "No, that's not what I meant, platoon leader."

Hou Jun calmed down a bit, but frowned again: "I've seen this year's soldiers, and it's okay to make up a squad, but there are not many who really have potential."

Then he turned to look at Li Zheng: "Do you know why I am so strict with you?"

Li Zheng thought to himself, isn't it the platoon leader that you have taken a fancy to me?

But when I thought that if I asked, and Hou Jun really said that, how would I answer?
Obviously Hou Jun was looking for an apprentice and wanted to teach him art.

Once he agrees, it will be a burden for a person like Li Zheng who is extremely committed. He really doesn't plan to develop in the army for a long time. It can only be deceiving and immoral to follow Hou Jun's good words.

So, he chose not to say anything.

Hou Jun could also see that it wasn't that Li Zheng was not interested in sniping, he really didn't want to stay in the army.

After taking the recruits back, Hou Jun only has more than two years of service.

These two years or so will be his last time in the Second Battalion of the Tiger Regiment. Over the years, he has brought out many sharpshooters, but few can be called top snipers.

After all, talented snipers don't mean to exist. Whether you can meet them depends on luck.

Zhong Rui was one of the talented snipers in his army, but he was picked up by the special brigade.

There is also Zhang Ao, who served as his observer during the last competition.

It's a pity that Zhang Ao's level is not top-notch in Hou Jun's opinion, and there is a gap from Zhong Rui. Like himself, he relies on hard work.

It takes two to three years to train a sniper before he can get started, and he can only be considered a little mature and stable before he can achieve results.

Time waits for no one, so Hou Jun, who is leading troops this year, has become much more anxious than in previous years, which is also the real reason why Xie Dong can't understand why Hou Jun's style of leading troops this year has become a bit extensive.

In this year's army, judging from the current fourth company of recruits, there are two very good seedlings, one is Li Zheng and the other is Zhang Jian.

Li Zheng's theoretical knowledge is excellent, and there is an advantage in studying sniper, that is, to absorb some professional theoretical knowledge, and snipers also need to calculate, and they don't shoot without thinking, so it is always right to have a higher education.

The other one is Zhang Jian, who has good physical fitness, and his family background makes him a natural candidate for a soldier.

It's just that Li Zheng said that he is not interested in staying in the army for too long, let alone Zhang Jian, the second generation of the army. Even if he intends to stay in the army for a long time, he is probably going to the military academy.

Seeing that the two good seedlings in his favor couldn't be kept, the little depression in Hou Jun's heart was logical.

In the end, the conversation went nowhere.

After finishing the two cigarettes, Hou Jun threw away the cigarette butts and went back to the row room.

Li Zheng sat on the sentry post and thought for a long time, always feeling a little uneasy. Did his straightforwardness offend Hou Jun just now?

But after looking back and thinking about it, he felt relieved, at least Hou Jun didn't seem like the kind of stingy person.

The reason why he looks fierce and gives people a feeling similar to women's menopausal anxiety is because he is leaving the army, and he thinks that he has not found someone to pass on his talents.

Sniper?
Li Zheng never thought that he would learn this major before. He is no stranger to this major. Movies and TV dramas are full of descriptions about snipers. Those are true. After all, a sharpshooter who violates the laws of physics and kills devils with a single shot from eight hundred miles away can almost make Newton jump out of the coffin and slap the screenwriter.

but……

Li Zheng thought.

If you can really become a sniper, it might be really exciting...
