Veteran's Mind

"Platoon Commander!"

Li Zheng stood straight, his expression a little uneasy.

"Uh-huh." Hou Jun nodded slightly, then stuck out his head towards the back of the sentry post and reached out to bring the book over, placing it in his hand and flipping through it.

"A college student is a college student, you didn't forget to read a book even when you're standing a post."

He closed the volume and shook it in his hand and said, "But you can't get distracted standing guard, you're in the army now, not in school. Do one thing and love one thing, when you are a soldier you are a soldier, when you read you read, you can't be distracted."

After saying this, he threw the book on the table and warned again, "The next one will not be an example."

"Yes!"

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

"I won't dare to do so in the future."

Hou Jun walked aside and sat down on the staircase steps, fished out cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and sat there enjoying himself as he gulped down the smoke.

Li Zheng secretly squinted to look at him, looking at the veteran Hou Jun leisurely appearance, the heart can not help but flooded with mutterings, the company seems to have never seen other people smoking, the new recruits are forbidden to smoke, this veteran seems to be really special.

Hou Jun seemed to notice Li Zheng peeping at himself, laughed: "How? Is it that you think I am blatantly violating the rules?"

Li Zheng shook his head no good, nodding his head no good, so he pretended not to hear.

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

Hou Jun saw Li Zheng's small mind, not to poke, took out the cigarette box forward, while handing while asking: "Come one?"

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

Hou Jun laughed: "Goon!"

Li Zheng couldn't help but say, "Not smoking doesn't mean being a wimp."

As the words left his mouth, he somewhat regretted it.

After all, he is the platoon commander, if he dislikes himself back, will he be upset.

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

After smoking one, another one.

Li Zheng carefully asked, "Platoon leader, you have something on your mind?"

Hou Jun was stunned for a moment, clamped on the finger of the cigarette frozen in the mouth, after a long time, his eyes glanced toward Li Zhengfang over, asked him: "See?"

Li Zheng laughed: "It's all written on the face."

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

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

"What do you know about new recruits!" Hou Jun's tone this time clearly had some displeasure in it, "That's called target shooting? Is that target shooting? Have you ever seen a target shooting with wire?"

Li Zheng was far away, in fact, did not see anything, so said: "I do not understand, too far away, did not see."

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

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

Hou Jun lightly grunted and said, "Newbie!"

Smoked two mouthfuls of cigarettes, suddenly added: "You plan to be a soldier for two years and then leave?"

Li Zheng feels that Hou Jun's thinking is too jumpy, just now still talking about sniping, and now suddenly pull to the topic of their own when a few years of soldiers up.

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

Hou Jun was silent for a moment and said thoughtfully, "That's right, a famous university college student with a bright future, choosing to come to be a soldier certainly won't take long. It's a pity ..."

Li Zheng was curious, "What's a pity?"

Hou Jun said, "It takes at least three years for a good sniper to become a good sniper, unless they are a gifted sniper. I was going to teach you all my skills, but it's a pity that you're only staying for two years, so what the hell is there to learn!"

Li Zheng said, "If I don't learn, someone else will, and you can teach the others, platoon leader."

Hou Jun suddenly got angry: "You think the sniper specialty is for anyone who wants to learn? Our second battalion can enter the sniper class I brought only ten soldiers, I say Li Zheng you kid is not really too look down on snipers?"

Li Zheng quickly said, "No, no, platoon leader, I don't mean that."

Hou Jun's anger subsided a bit, but his eyebrows frowned again, "I've seen this year's soldiers, it's okay to put together a class, but there aren't many that really have potential."

Said turned his head to look at Li Zheng: "Know why I'm so strict with you?"

Li Zheng thought to himself, "It's not the platoon leader that you have a crush on me, right?

But the thought that if he asked, Hou Jun really said so, how can he answer?

Obviously Hou Jun is looking for a disciple and wants to teach.

Once agreed, for Li Zheng this kind of extremely heavy commitment to people will be a kind of burden, they really do not intend to develop in the army for a long time, go along with Hou Jun good words can only be a lie, immoral.

So, he chose not to say anything.

Hou Jun also saw that Li Zheng is not uninterested in the sniper specialty, he is really not like to stay in the army.

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

These two years will be his last days in the second battalion of the Meng Hu Regiment, these years, he brought out a lot of sharpshooters, but there are not many snipers who can be called top snipers.

After all, gifted snipers are not just there, whether they can meet depends on luck.

The talented snipers in his soldiers, Zhong Rui counts one, but he was picked by the special brigade.

There's also Zhang Ao, who served as his spotter during the last competition.

Unfortunately, in Hou Jun's opinion, Zhang Ao's level is not top-notch, and there is a gap between him and Zhong Rui, who, like himself, relies on hard work.

It takes a cycle of two to three years to train a sniper to get started, before they are considered slightly mature and stable enough to produce results.

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

This year's soldiers, from the current view of the fourth company of recruits, there are two pretty good seedlings, one is Li Zheng, one is Zhang Jian.

Li Zheng's theoretical knowledge base is extremely good, learning sniper specialty has an advantage, that is, absorbing some of the professional theoretical knowledge comparison, snipers also need to calculate, and is not a brainless shot, so higher education is always right.

The other one is Zhang Jian, good physical quality, family origin factors make him born is a good material to be a soldier.

Only now Li Zheng said that he is not interested in staying in the army for too long, and Zhang Jian, the second generation of the army, not to mention, even if they intend to stay in the army for a long time, I'm afraid that they are also aimed at the military academy.

Seeing that the two good seedlings that he had been attracted to were not able to stay, Hou Jun's little depression in his heart was also logical.

In the end, the conversation was inconclusive.

Two cigarettes finished, Hou Jun threw away the cigarette and went back to the platoon room.

Li is sitting on the position of the guard post for half a day, always feel a little unsettled, just now his bluntness will not offend Hou Jun?

However, after thinking about it, he put his heart down again, at least Hou Jun didn't seem to be the kind of person who was petty.

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 who can pass on his skills.

Sniper?

Li Zheng did not think he would learn this profession before, he is not unfamiliar with this profession, in the movies, TV dramas, are filled with all kinds of descriptions of snipers, of course, Li Zheng does not think that those in the TV dramas are true, after all, eight hundred miles away from a shot to take out the ghosts of such a violation of the laws of physics of the sharpshooter can simply let Newton from the coffin jumped up and slapped the writers' ears.

But ...

Li is thinking.

If you can really become a sniper, maybe it is really quite exciting ...
