My Military Career in a Parallel World

For the new recruits who were visiting the military camp for the first time, the recruit camp was no less than hell. However, for the veterans like Jiang Chen, it was really no different from a vacation.

If there hadn't been an agreement to compete again in a month, the students in Class 5 would have probably given up by now.

In order to prevent these soldiers who came from the army from being too idle, the military academy also assigned them some tasks.

For example, standing guard and patrolling near the dormitory building of the recruit camp.

Of course, the new recruits don't have to stand guard at this time, but Jiang Chen and his team do. The three squads rotate one shift every day, including night sentry and patrol.

Occasionally, they also have to assist in the training of new recruits, serve as instructors, and be pulled out to demonstrate various training programs, etc.

In addition, the soldier class does not participate in various evaluations and assessments in the recruit camp.

There is no way. The gap in strength between the two sides is too big. If we really want them to participate, these new recruits will have no chance of playing.

"Hey, you guys said you could all get into the military academy, why are there still these brainless recruits?"

In the dormitory, listening to the noise coming from the corridor, Wang Hai said in some confusion.

"How surprising! Being admitted to a military academy doesn't necessarily mean you have brains. Idiots are everywhere, regardless of where they come from." Zhang Wuqiang replied without even raising his head.

Others also expressed their opinions. Jiang Chen did not respond but did not stop everyone from chatting.

Jiang Chen was not actually too surprised by this kind of thing.

Being admitted to a military academy only means that their IQ is high enough, but it does not necessarily mean that they are smart.

In fact, perhaps it is precisely because they have the ability to be admitted to a military academy that these people become even more confident and think how capable they are, and come up with ideas like "If I can't be accepted here, I'll find another place to stay."

These are all normal things.

"Tsk tsk, so many people want to come but can't, but they are so good..."

Some people couldn't help but sigh.

"That is to say, young people nowadays are becoming less and less able to endure hardship."

Some people also echoed in the tone of the older generation.

However, even though they were chatting, they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the noise outside.

"I don't want to be a soldier anymore, and I don't want to fold any crappy quilts. I'm going to drop out of school!"

"Do you know what the fuck you are talking about?!"

Although there was a floor between us, the movement from above could be clearly heard.

After so many days in the military academy, this was the first time that Jiang Chen and his friends heard a squad leader of new recruits swearing, and he was obviously very angry.

The farce upstairs did not last long. After a while, the battalion commander and instructor of the recruit camp rushed over.

"Don't just stand there and watch. Go do what you need to do. We'll conduct a housekeeping inspection later. If that squad fails, they will have to clean the toilets for the entire camp for a week!"

The angry roar of a company commander came from the corridor, and the new recruits who were lying on the windowsills, doorways, and corridor corners watching the excitement immediately scattered.

The new recruit who was threatening to drop out of school was soon taken away by his company instructor.

Then, during the training that afternoon, the battalion commander, the political instructor, the three company commanders and their respective instructors, almost all the leaders of the entire recruit camp showed up.

The collective appearance of so many leaders was certainly not to appease the new recruits, and the military has never had such a precedent.

After everyone had gathered, the first thing Battalion Commander Zhu Haifeng said was: "If anyone wants to drop out, raise your hand now and I will approve it on the spot!"

Jiang Chen stood silently in the team, his eyes casually glancing at the students beside him.

Although no one really dared to raise their hands on the spot, Jiang Chen could see that many people were somewhat shaken when they heard this sentence.

Just like when Jiang Chen first joined the army, many people actually had no idea about the army/soldiers.

Either they were impulsive or forced by their parents and elders, and they joined the army without thinking.

In addition, with the development of the times, the outside world is changing every minute. The popularization of the Internet, the rise of smart phones, the spread of various information, etc. make young people's personalities more eccentric and full of hostility.

Many people see the strict management of the army as a restriction on their own personality and freedom.

Forget about beating, scolding or corporal punishment. If you speak a little louder, it may provoke resistance from some recruits who are full of "liberal ideas".

Not to mention, the training day and night, standing under the scorching sun for a whole day.

It's normal to not be able to stand it at first, to want to leave, to retreat.

Aren’t there so many people who try to find ways to escape the annual military training in college? What’s more, there are still many people who try to escape the military training in military academies.

-

Fortunately, people without brains are only a minority after all.

The new recruit also used his own personal experience to warn everyone.

The day after he threatened to drop out of school, his request was approved.

Of course, it was not as he imagined that he could just change schools if he didn't want to go. Instead, he was sent back to his hometown as a deserter.

Needless to say, the punishment for desertion is severe.

Just a notification to the whole society is enough to make this person socially dead.

The military academy added two more points as a warning.

No procedures for further study or resumption of studies shall be processed for them within the first two years.

Second, they will not be allowed to go through any procedures for going abroad within two years and will be included in the list of serious defaulters.

The reason for doing this is that the new recruit's family is relatively well-off, and this is also the reason why he dares to shout that he wants to drop out of school.

If there were no such restrictions, and he spent a little money to smooth over connections, he might be able to find a loophole and get into another university with his excellent college entrance examination scores. If that didn't work, he could go abroad to study and gild his resume.

However, once these two restrictions are introduced...

Not to mention studying abroad, even the worst fake university wouldn't take such a big risk to accept him.

Even if the restriction period is over after two years, as long as there is a deserter record in his file, no university in the country will accept him, and the same goes for studying abroad.

Not to mention a visa and a passport, he couldn't even buy a plane ticket.

Of course, if you really want to get out, there are ways to do it, but those methods are not accessible to ordinary people, and even if you get out, what can you do...

Hearing the disciplinary notice issued by the school, Jiang Chen just shook his head silently.

I thought that the bribery of the squad leader that he had encountered in the recruit company was already outrageous, but I didn't expect that I would encounter something even more outrageous when I came to the military academy...

As expected, what this world lacks most is mentally ill, self-righteous idiots.

After this example of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, the originally somewhat impetuous recruits instantly calmed down.

Everything is back on track and daily training continues as usual.

This kind of life continued until September 28th.

Year of Xin Si, month of Ding You, day of Jia Wu.

Just in time for the National Day, the recruit camp held a gun-awarding ceremony.

The gun-awarding ceremony at the military academy is not much different from that in the army.

What really concerned Jiang Chen and his men was that the guns they were awarded this time were not the Type 81 rifles, but the Type 95 automatic rifles.

Although Jiang Chen had come into contact with Jiuwu during his reconnaissance work before, it was limited to just contact.

There is no way. The caliber of Type 5.8 ammunition is mm, and the reconnaissance company has limited ammunition supplies, so it is impossible to allow them to produce it.

It would be great if everyone could experience it for about ten rounds.

Jiang Chen didn't know what happened to the new recruits after everyone received their own guns, but every soldier in the squad was itching to get their hands on one, and the first thing they thought of doing after receiving their guns was going to the shooting range to fire a few rounds.

On the one hand, it's because I haven't touched a gun for such a long time that I'm itching to try it out, but more importantly, I'm curious about the Type 95 automatic rifle, and everyone wants to adapt to and become proficient in the shooting mode and feel of the new gun as quickly as possible.

Of course, thanks to the existence of the dream space, Jiang Chen is already very familiar with the gun in front of him, and he does not need to start over like everyone else.

Training time at noon.

The battalion commander specially called three students from the senior grades to help Jiang Chen and other students in the soldier class familiarize themselves with the operation of the Type 95 automatic rifle as well as the basic disassembly, assembly and maintenance of the guns.

In the dormitory of Class 5.

"Squad leaders, I believe you have come into contact with the Type 95 automatic rifle before in the army. Can any squad leader tell me more about this gun?"

A junior student was holding a nine-five face mask and facing everyone. His words seemed humble and he kept repeating the word "class monitor". However, the expression on his face clearly showed otherwise.

This is normal. As local students who entered the military academy through the college entrance examination, they had suffered a lot from the old soldiers from these troops.

Just like the new recruits in the recruit camp now, they are chased by Jiang Chen and his team like rabbits during every training session.

From the battalion commander to the company commander, platoon leader, and squad leader, they would often pull over veterans like Jiang Chen, under the pretext of broadening the new recruits' horizons.

In fact, it just means letting them abuse the new recruits, abuse them severely, and abuse them in various ways.

This will inspire the fighting spirit and resentment of the recruits, increase their enthusiasm for training and fully mobilize their subjective initiative...

This is a common tactic used by officers in all military units.

As for veterans like Jiang Chen, even though they felt that it was a bit immoral, they couldn't help but feel that it was just too damn satisfying to bully the weak ones.

It’s just like playing the game of frying fish. If you don’t fry them and I don’t fry them, the fish will never grow up.

Of course, the degree must be grasped well so as not to cause any conflicts.

Therefore, the third-year student in front of him just wanted to take this opportunity to vent his anger for his past self and at the same time reduce the prestige of these old soldiers in front of him.

Thanks to the favorable conditions of the military academy, they were exposed to and equipped with the Type 95 automatic rifle earlier than the troops. He had absolute confidence in this regard.

It was a pity that he was unlucky enough to meet Jiang Chen, and he was destined to be unable to vent the anger in his heart.

Zhang Wuqiang, the deputy squad leader of the fifth squad, saw that the others had not made any move. Just as he was about to step forward, he heard Jiang Chen beside him say, "The Type 95 automatic rifle, full name: QBZ-5.8 3.3mm automatic rifle, weighs 770 kg including the magazine, shoots single-shot/continuously, has a theoretical rate of fire of 1000 rounds per minute, an initial bullet velocity of 400 meters per second, an effective range of meters, and uses a mechanical columnar front sight and a peep sight for aiming.

Advantages: The bullpup structure makes the gun body more compact, making it easier to carry and operate in narrow spaces.

The gun body uses a large amount of engineering plastics to reduce weight while improving the corrosion resistance and durability of the gun.

The barrel adopts precision forging technology to improve the precision of parts and ensure the accuracy and stability of shooting.

The 5.8mm bullet ensures power while taking into account accuracy.

As for the shortcomings.

The ergonomics are poor and the gun-holding comfort is insufficient. Because the aiming baseline is high, soldiers need to raise their heads when shooting in a prone position, which increases the exposed area and is not conducive to concealment and safety.

There is also insufficient expandability of accessories, lack of various tactical rails and interfaces, and it is impossible to conveniently install optical sights, lasers, flashlights and other accessories.

Bullet ejection shooting has defects. When the shell is protruding, it is easy to interfere with the line of sight and even burn or scratch the soldier's face. This is especially obvious in special circumstances where the left hand needs to be used or when the soldier is left-handed.

There is no empty chamber function, and the position of the speed selector makes it impossible for soldiers to quickly change the shooting mode..."

Jiang Chen talked a lot and simply dumbfounded the senior student in front of him.

Are you kidding? Others just tried it on the training ground at most, but Jiang Chen took this thing to the battlefield in the dream space, so naturally he knows more and more details than them.

Not to mention that he is a junior student, even the soldiers who tested this gun at the beginning may not know as much as Jiang Chen.

Because some shortcomings will only be revealed on the battlefield.

For example, the way the Nine-Five ejects shells is not conducive to left-handed shooting, which Jiang Chen discovered when he used the Nine-Five to participate in the battle in the dream space.

"Of course, the most important reason why the superiors chose the Type 95 is that compared with some advanced foreign automatic rifles, the Type 95 has a lower cost and a higher cost-effectiveness, making it suitable for large-scale deployment..."

Finally, Jiang Chen added one more sentence.

If that third-year student is like this, what about the others in Class Five?

Compared to other classes which were bustling with activity because they had just received the Type 95 automatic rifles, the dormitory of Class 5 seemed particularly different and the atmosphere fell into silence for a while.

After a long time, the student finally came back to his senses, but he was still a little unwilling. Holding on to the last bit of fantasy in his heart, he handed the Type 95 rifle in his hand to Jiang Chen and said, "The squad leader explained it in such detail, so you should also be able to disassemble and assemble the Type 95 gun, right?"

Jiang Chen did not take the gun he handed over immediately, nor did he nod...

Just when the student couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and was about to get his ground back, Jiang Chen finally made a move.

He did not touch the gun handed to him by the student. Instead, he picked up the Type 95 automatic rifle that he had just received at the gun-awarding ceremony, walked to the gun cloth and squatted down, and his fingertips began to disassemble like a butterfly flying through flowers.

The first step is to inspect the gun.

First remove the magazine from the rear of the gun and pull the bolt to check if there is any ammunition remaining in the chamber.

Then, start decomposing.

Pulling the bolt to the back and locking it, Jiang Chen casually took a tool from the gun cloth and pressed the buckle at the end of the gun, then used force to remove the upper cover of the Type 95.

Take out the bolt assembly, separate the barrel and receiver, remove the lower handguard and other parts...

The whole process took only a dozen seconds at most, and then, before the student could react, Jiang Chen immediately started to assemble it.

First install the barrel and receiver, then the bolt assembly, upper cover, lower handguard and other parts...

After completing the assembly, pull the gun handle to check whether the bolt moves smoothly and whether the parts fit well with each other.

Finally, pull the trigger and fire a dry shot as a simple test to ensure that the rifle can be used normally.

Although there was no timer, everyone present were veterans who had served in the army for many years and were very sensitive to time.

Instinctively, they made a subconscious judgment.

It won’t take more than twenty-five seconds at most!

hiss~

Faced with Jiang Chen's performance, Zhang Wuqiang, Wang Hai, and Liu Meng from the Capital Military Region, these veterans who had already come into contact with the Type 95 automatic rifle in their old units, couldn't help but gasp.
