Regarding the topic of combat?
At the Shibu’s martial arts arena, they have already finished their combat training.
“Alright, once everyone’s ready, we’ll head downstairs!”
Inside the dormitory, in less than three minutes, it seemed like everyone was almost ready, and the squad leader called out.
As for the internal affairs handled by the reconnaissance soldiers, at least Wang Ye’s initial impression was that it wasn’t too strict.
In fact, they mentioned it yesterday too.
For reconnaissance soldiers, it was sufficient to be more rigorous during the weekly inspections because that was when the inspection team came.
During regular days, it was okay as long as it was passable.
Reconnaissance soldiers didn’t have that much time to make their beds and handle internal affairs every day.
Following An Ping, everyone quickly arrived at the arsenal once again.
“Here, Wang Ye, you’ll be using this rifle from now on. Remember the rifle number and its rack location.”
Right in the arsenal, An Ping casually handed Wang Ye another rifle.
Hmm… It looked similar to a Type 95, but it was noticeably shorter.
“This is the Type 05 silenced submachine gun, with a magazine capacity of fifty rounds. With this suppressor attached, if you use this gun in a battlefield or a noisy environment, the enemy won’t hear the gunfire at all. It’s considered our reconnaissance soldiers’ true gem!”
The armorer smiled as he spoke and handed Wang Ye a suppressor, then signaled for him to attach it.
Wang Ye had actually seen this rifle yesterday.
The squad leader and the others brought various firearms used by reconnaissance soldiers, including this one.
But now, holding the one they assigned to him, Wang Ye couldn’t help but smile and say.
“Cool!”
He was telling the truth. Just a moment ago, without the suppressor, this rifle looked like a clumsily shortened Type 95 and was rather unattractive.
But now, with the suppressor attached, its aesthetics skyrocketed.
“Cool, for sure! Let’s go, everyone, grab your gear and get ready; we’re heading to the shooting range!” An Ping called out.
Currently, everyone had various types of weapons, including some mortar rounds that even made Wang Ye take a few extra glances.
Heading outside.
Outside the door, the instructor was already waiting.
Because this time, the first squad needed to do some target shooting.
Now that they had received their rifles, they also needed to go next door to collect ammunition.
This wasn’t something a squad leader could handle on his own.
Even for reconnaissance soldiers, live ammunition target shooting would have officers accompanying them.
After collecting the ammunition and descending the stairs, the first squad jogged to the garage.
After a truck pulled out, Wang Ye and the others lifted ammunition crates onto the vehicle.
“Old Cheng, can you drive steadily? We’ve all been holding it in since this morning!”
Before getting on the truck, Qiu Shuang called out to a fellow squad member.
This was the driver for the first squad.
“Flehe, don’t worry, I’ll make sure you all are comfortable!”
The guy grinned, making Wang Ye somewhat skeptical.
However, he soon proved himself with his actions.
Of course, most of them were brothers from the same squad, and he probably didn’t want to get on their bad side.
With clattering sounds, the truck left the camp.
The shooting range was a bit far from the division headquarters, taking about twenty minutes to drive there.
As they entered the shooting range, Wang Ye leaned out from the back of the truck to look around.
Here, the shooting range was clearly larger than the one used by the fourth platoon.
“Alright, we’re here; hurry up and unload the ammunition.”
Once the truck stopped, the squad leader inside the vehicle spoke up.
They quickly unloaded the ammunition crates and then assembled in formation.
The instructor came in front of them and looked directly at Wang Ye, saying, “Wang Ye, I heard you were a sharpshooter in the fourth platoon, right?”
“Yes.”
“Well, I can understand that. You’re also a top scorer in the hundred-meter shooting competition, but I haven’t seen your sniper skills yet. Let’s give it a try later!”
“Yes!”
The reconnaissance soldiers were using the Type 88 sniper rifle, which Wang Ye was already quite familiar with.
Despite his silent complaints about the rifle, he had no problem handling it now.
“Alright, let’s start by getting familiar with the firearms.”
What he referred to as “getting familiar with firearms” meant target shooting.
The treatment was excellent; Wang Ye didn’t even need to load the ammunition himself.
Starting with the Type 05 submachine gun, then the Type 92 pistol, followed by the Type 95, Type 88 sniper rifle, and even the dagger gun, Wang Ye went through a round with all of them.
All perfect scores, even for the pistol and dagger gun, Wang Ye excelled.
But in the end, after Wang Ye finished firing the rocket launcher, he faced a new challenge.
The Type 89 60mm mortar.
This was out of his league.
Wang Ye had never encountered this in the fourth platoon.
The fourth platoon didn’t use mortars; aside from the machine guns mounted on the infantry fighting vehicles, they only had rocket launchers.
However, it was clear that they knew Wang Ye wouldn’t be familiar with it, so when he tried it, An Ping and the others taught him how to aim and fire the mortar step by step.
Starting from practical experience, they taught him bit by bit.
Occasionally, they fired a round… Well, he aimed, and Wang Ye was responsible for firing the mortar shell.
All in all, it wasn’t too difficult.
In less than twenty minutes, Wang Ye successfully learned how to aim the mortar and hit the large ground target a kilometer away.
Naturally, his skill level increased.
This thing was very useful, weighing just a bit over five kilograms in total. The key was that it could hit a distance of over two kilometers, and it was air-launched—a must-have artifact for battlefield surprises.
Wang Ye had already decided that he would focus on practicing this in the future and upgrade his mortar shooting skill to the highest level as soon as possible…
“Next, we’ll move on to the hundred-meter rapid-fire training.
Deputy squad leader, demonstrate it for Wang Ye!”
After finishing with the mortar, they immediately moved on.
This new training subject was something Wang Ye had never encountered.
Hundred-meter rapid fire; the fourth platoon didn’t even have a field for this, and Wang Ye hadn’t seen it before.
But after practicing and watching the deputy squad leader demonstrate it once, Wang Ye didn’t feel much pressure..
