Li Long had actually joined the village militia training mostly for fun. He had lived two lives, and in his previous life, he had kept attending militia training until the end of the century, when he was already in his forties.
That was mainly because there were fewer and fewer young people in the countryside. In the end, those of his generation who stayed there had no choice but to keep participating.
So Li Long was very familiar with the contents of militia training.
His other purpose in joining the training was to get ammunition, and he had now more or less achieved that.
Representing the village in the township competition was just something extra. As far as Li Long could tell, Xu Chengjun did not seem particularly concerned about whether they placed.
But when they actually started taking their rifles to the competition, Li Long suspected he had been mistaken.
Xu Chengjun must have cared a great deal about this competition-not only was he leading the team, he was also taking part in one of the events: Three-Stage Shooting.
That meant firing five rounds prone from two hundred meters, then five rounds kneeling from one hundred and fifty meters, followed by standing precision shooting from one hundred meters.
The prone stage was scored by the number of hits, while the kneeling and standing stages were scored by rings.
It was a real test of a shooter's composure and ability to withstand pressure.
There were only three shooting events: hundred-meter precision shooting, Three-Stage Application Shooting, and the Competitive Shooting event Li Long was entering.
Tao Daqiang was entering the grenade-throwing event.
Tao Daqiang was quite excited. For someone who had never competed before, getting to represent the village in a township competition was already a huge step forward-
