The Strongest Soldier: From Being Specially Recruited into the Army

Chapter 95 Special Warfare Thinking!

A sudden spring rain swept across Cuiya Mountain somewhere in Liaodong Province. The rain was so heavy that it soon became like a downpour, as if rain was pouring down from the sky.

The cold air followed, and heavy rain hit the mountains and forests, accompanied by thunder and lightning. The ground began to become muddy, and the road in the mountains became particularly difficult to walk on.

Meng Zhe led the other two selected soldiers and rushed towards Lone Eagle Ridge along the original route on the map with difficulty. The mud stuck to their combat boots and trouser legs, and was quickly washed away by the heavy rain. The cold rain quickly took away the heat from their bodies.

Fortunately, I had a raincoat, which prevented me from getting wet to a certain extent, but the heavy rain affected visibility greatly.

The originally silent forest was now filled with the sound of rain. Meng Zhe and the others did not notice at all that in the dense grass, there were several pairs of eyes staring at them coldly!

When Meng Zhe led two soldiers and rushed through the forest covered by trees, suddenly...

"boom!--"

A gunshot rang out without warning, and the laser sensor on the helmet of a soldier behind him immediately reacted, and thick smoke suddenly rose from the helmet!

The sudden gunshot scared Meng Zhe and another soldier, and they instinctively raised their guns!
However, before they could react, a black shadow suddenly flashed in the grass at their feet. Before Meng Zhe could turn around and fire in horror, the black shadow reached out and grabbed the barrel of his gun and kicked Meng Zhe hard in the chest.

"bump!"

Meng Zhe flew backwards and sat on the ground. He quickly pulled out the 92 pistol from between his legs and was about to fire at the black shadow!
But the black shadow who snatched his 95-1 was faster than him. As soon as he pulled out the pistol, a gunshot rang out in the same second, and it hit the target accurately!
The laser sensor device installed on Meng Zhe recognized the opponent's firing and hit him in the chest, and thick smoke rose from his body!

On the other side, the last soldier was knocked to the ground by the Siberian Tiger’s special warfare instructor, and the pistol fired "bang"!

The three people were eliminated without any preparation.

The leading figure glanced at them expressionlessly and said calmly, "I regret to inform you that you are dead! According to the assessment standards, you have lost the qualification for this training selection! Send them back!"

Eliminated!
Losing the qualification to continue participating in the training selection? !

Meng Zhe's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he heard. Before starting this wild survival training behind enemy lines, they were not told that if they died during the training they would be eliminated!
Meng Zhe looked up at the instructor unwillingly, clenched his fists, and said through gritted teeth: "I don't accept it!"

The instructor glanced at him coldly and said, "If you are not convinced, when you return, the chief instructor will tell you why you were eliminated. But before that, please stand up and follow us back!"

"…………" Meng Zhe looked at several instructors with bloodshot eyes, and finally nodded weakly.

…………

On the way back to the training base, Meng Zhe and the other two soldiers were still full of unwillingness. Why were they eliminated like this?

They survived the Devil's Week that nearly cost them half their lives. Isn't this enough to prove that they have the potential to become special forces members? It's not fair to deprive them of the opportunity to train and participate in the selection because of a single operational mistake!

If they were invincible, why would they continue to train? Wouldn't they have become special forces long ago? !
With such resentment, they were taken to the training base and waited for the arrival of chief instructor Gao Yi on the playground.

Seeing Gao Yi wearing a raincoat and walking towards them, Meng Zhe and others saluted and shouted: "Chief Instructor..."

Gao Yi, who had long known from the frontline instructors that they were indignant, asked with a chuckle as his first words:

"I heard you're very unconvinced, right?"

"Yes!" Meng Zhe took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Chief Instructor, why did you eliminate us like this? Deprive us of the qualification to participate in the training selection?"

Gao Yi said calmly: "Because you are dead!"

Seeing Meng Zhe pursed his lips as if he wanted to defend himself, Gao Yi did not give him the opportunity, but took the lead and said:
"Are you trying to say that we were all set up in ambush in advance, and that you have never been trained in special warfare skills, so it is understandable that you made a mistake once?"

Meng Zhe was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes..."

"But war doesn't give soldiers a chance to explain!"

Gao Yi glanced at Meng Zhe and sighed, "Of course I know that the fact that you have survived the Devil's Week training is enough to prove that you are not the worst in terms of physical fitness or mental willpower, and you are even far better than most of the soldiers who came to participate in the selection! However, it does not mean that you can enter the special forces and become a special forces soldier just because you have good physical fitness and strong willpower!
"Of the nine of you who have made it to this stage, who has not achieved top physical fitness and willpower?" "But why are only three of you eliminated, while the other six have not been eliminated yet?"

Meng Zhe said unconvincedly: "That's because they separated from us!"

Yes!

In Meng Zhe's opinion, if Su Chen and the others followed them along the predetermined route to Lone Eagle Ridge, they would also be ambushed by the instructors. At that time, two situations would occur: either they successfully eliminated the ambush circle set up by the instructors, or they would be eliminated together.

"You also said that they separated from you!" Gao Yi paused, "Then I want to ask, why did you separate?"

“This…” Meng Zhe was stunned.

Gao Yi raised an eyebrow, "Hmm?"

Meng Zhe then said: "Report to the chief instructor, it's like this. After we went up the mountain from the designated location, we walked for almost half an hour. Su Chen thought that the route on the map conflicted with the intelligence photos and that the route was wrong, so he decided to re-plan the route to Lone Eagle Ridge. But I think that the intelligence should not be wrong, and we cannot conclude that the route is wrong just because a few photos do not match the route. Therefore, a disagreement arose between us, and I decided to stick to my own ideas..."

Gao Yi nodded slightly, and then asked: "So far, do you think your own idea is correct?"

"Report!" Meng Zhe insisted, "I think my idea is correct!"

Gao Yi said: "Reason."

"You said that the background of this training is that a group of criminal armed elements have captured our important scientific researchers, and we are a special forces team going to rescue them! In other words, our team is in the same camp as you. You won't deceive us with intelligence, right?"

Meng Zhe expressed his own judgment, "Similarly, I also believe in the expertise of the special forces in intelligence!"

Alas...! Hearing Meng Zhe's words, Gao Yi sighed in his heart, looked at him with some regret, and said helplessly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:

"Rookie, I really don't know whether I should be happy or helpless that you believe in us unconditionally!"

Meng Zhe was puzzled and asked: "Instructor, what do you mean by this?"

"Do you want to know why you were eliminated?" Gao Yi asked back.

Meng Zhe and others nodded.

Gao Yi sighed, "You three are all elite soldiers from the grassroots Class B troops. In your old unit, you are used to obeying orders as your first duty! I have no doubt that you can complete the commander's orders very well. If a war really comes, you will all be good soldiers! However, it is this kind of inertial thinking that has harmed you! This kind of inertial thinking will cost you your lives in the special forces when you are performing special operations!"

Meng Zhe asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Why do you think the route we gave you is accurate? Or in other words, why do you think the intelligence of every special forces operation is accurate?"

Gao Yi looked at him and asked in a deep voice: "The route you took to Lone Eagle Ridge is the best way to go, but it may be the safest route. But you know this truth, don't the enemies who arrived first know it?... Why are special forces called special forces? It's because the missions we carry out are behind enemy lines. The source of intelligence may be obtained from local villagers or provided by informants, but the intelligence provided by informants must be limited!
"As a special forces member, you not only need to have superb combat skills, but also here!"

Gao Yi pointed to his head and said, "A combat mindset that can think and make decisions on the spot! You don't have this! Special forces soldiers must learn to think from the enemy's perspective and learn to think ahead of the enemy!"

“This…” Meng Zhe was stunned upon hearing this and fell into silence.

He seemed to understand something, but not completely. However, he had to admit that he could not refute what Gao Yi said. However, his inherent thinking made it difficult for him to digest these words for a while, and his brain could not get around that corner for a while!
"You three might as well think about the purpose of arranging this training."

Seeing that the three seemed to be confused, Gao Yi threw a question for them to think about: "Isn't passing the Devil Week training enough to prove your physical fitness? You can come to participate in the special warfare selection, and you are also the best shooters in the old unit, right? Even if your shooting skills are not up to standard, you must have heard that sharpshooters are fed with bullets. So what do we want to train you in this training?

"Think about it carefully. If you think this through, you will understand what special warfare thinking is..."
