My Military Career in a Parallel World

Compressed dry food and canned food are considered reserve supplies. Each company has a limited quota. The reconnaissance company often travels deep into the mountains and forests, so the quota will be slightly higher, but we should save as much as possible and avoid consumption unless necessary.

A distance of more than 20 kilometers may seem far to walk, but it only takes a few dozen minutes if you drive.

The joining ceremony was over and the truck delivering breakfast arrived.

Just like the previous training in the recruit company, breakfast was simple, with steamed buns, eggs and a packet of milk.

After a simple breakfast and a short rest, Ge Hongtao ordered the team to continue heading into the mountains.

It took so much effort and time to get them here in the middle of the night, so it was impossible for them to just march quickly and be done with it.

The real training begins now.

Jiang Chen finally understood what the daily training of scouts was like. No wonder they were called "savages".

We are still moving forward in the form of running with heavy loads, the only difference is that this time it is not as easy as when we came here.

There are various natural obstacles waiting for you along the way.

Just less than half an hour after the team set out, they encountered a cliff with a drop of about fourteen or fifteen meters, which required the use of climbing skills to cross.

Although it was a cliff in the wild, Jiang Chen was still keenly aware of the traces of human activity on the rock wall.

Obviously, the appearance of this cliff was not an accident.

This is true.

Without any order from the company commander Ge Hongtao, several soldiers took the initiative to step out, took off their equipment, and climbed up the cliff carrying ropes.

"Follow me later and watch me climb. It doesn't matter if I climb slowly. It's not as difficult as you think!"

Looking at the ropes slowly hanging down from the top of the rock wall, Tang Junjie turned his head and gave instructions to Jiang Chen.

"Yes!" Jiang Chen nodded in agreement.

He would not try to be brave in such matters, especially when it was his first time training, Jiang Chen always focused on being steady.

Although there were ropes to help, the climbing process was still difficult.

The weight of the body plus the burden...

Fortunately, Jiang Chen's upper body strength had already been trained in the recruit company, and with the help of the rope, although the speed was a bit slow, he managed to climb to the top of the mountain steadily.

After more than ten minutes, when everyone had climbed aboard, the team continued to move forward.

Where there is an up, there must be a down.

After walking for a few minutes, another cliff appeared in front of us.

However, this time it's not climbing, but sliding down.

Compared to climbing, skiing is naturally much easier, but it also tests the soldiers' military qualities more.

When recruits first try downhill skiing, they must first overcome psychological problems.

Looking at the cliff with a drop of more than ten meters, which is almost as high as five or six stories, it would be a lie to say that I was not afraid.

Fear of heights is a psychological problem that most ordinary people have, and Jiang Chen is no exception.

However, some people like to challenge themselves the more they fear.

Although Jiang Chen was not that perverted, he had done similar things in his previous life.

No one likes to go to the glass plank road anymore. As a person from Qin Province, I have often been encouraged and instigated by my friends to go to Huashan to challenge the sky plank road.

The most dangerous part of Huashan is the plank road, a small path only half an inch long that is suspended thousands of feet in the air.

Even with protective measures, the psychological pressure one has to face when passing through is not comparable to that of a cliff more than ten meters high.

Everyone has a fear of heights. It is a fear deeply ingrained in our genes and cannot be avoided.

"How is it? Are you still holding on?" Li Gang walked over and patted Jiang Chen's shoulder and asked with a smile.

Retracting his gaze, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "It feels okay. I was a little scared at the beginning, but it's okay after watching it for a long time."

"Well, the most important thing about downhill skiing is the psychological fear at the first stage. As long as you overcome this stage, the rest will be much easier..."

Li Gang then went on to talk about many techniques that need to be paid attention to when abseiling, as well as how to deal with emergencies, etc.

Jiang Chen listened silently and nodded from time to time.

"Let's go, Old Tang and the others are ready."

"Yes!"

……

It has to be said that compared to the troops stationed around the city, the life of the scouts stationed in the deep mountains and forests is really hard.

The accommodation conditions are poor and the camp environment is simple.

There are even fewer training grounds, as can be seen from the fact that the three companies in the entire reconnaissance battalion share one playground and shooting range.

However, they also have a natural training ground that other companies cannot match.

The deep mountains and old forests outside the camp can be simply processed into a huge natural training ground, which is more useful for training than artificial training grounds.

Of course, there are gains and losses. Compared with the artificial training ground, this place is undoubtedly more difficult and more dangerous.

When walking through the jungle, not to mention the branches and thorns, your clothes and backpack will get caught if you are not careful.

The ground under our feet was not flat at all. We were lucky enough to have a mountain road visible to the naked eye, just like when we came here.

Although this is a training ground, they are not the protagonists.

Because there are often soldiers training there, and there are constant sounds of gunfire around the camp all year round, large carnivores dare not approach, but snakes, insects, rats and ants are inevitable.

The chance of injury is very high when training in this environment.

This is especially true for new recruits who have just joined the company and are experiencing field training for the first time.

According to arrangements in previous years, new recruits will not undergo similar training in the week after joining their companies.

Didn’t you see that the first and second companies were staying in the camp obediently?

However, Ge Hongtao also has his own considerations.

As someone who had witnessed Jiang Chen's growth step by step, he knew that the training programs in the camp were not difficult at all for him.

No matter how much training you do, it won’t be as effective as just taking a walk in the woods.

Jiang Chen is the only new recruit in the company, and Li Gang, the veteran scout, is watching over him. If something bad could happen...

As for Sun Weichen who came with Jiang Chen, he was a cook and did not need to participate in this kind of training.

The way here and the way back are not the same.

After crossing a river more than ten meters wide by armed swimming, we walked for about half an hour before the camp wall became faintly visible.

It was almost lunch time, and the soldiers from the other two companies naturally noticed that the soldiers from the third company were covered in mud.

"Damn, are these guys crazy? They do this on the second day after the new recruits joined the company. Aren't they afraid of something going wrong?" A lieutenant platoon leader of the first company couldn't help but mutter.

"Platoon leader, should we also..."

"Get lost! Don't you know the level of those new recruits? If you really take them out into the wild, what will happen if something goes wrong?"

"But……"

It is normal for companies in the reconnaissance battalion to compete with each other, and no one is willing to fall behind.

"Okay, stop talking. I'll go discuss this with the company commander tomorrow. You guys hurry up and train the new recruits!"

"Yes!"

The same conversation also took place in the second company. Apparently, after what happened last night and just now, the soldiers of both companies were getting a little restless.

"Mm, what's going on with that new recruit in the third company? Is he really as outrageous as the rumors say?!"

Jiang Chen's deeds in the recruit company were no secret. There were recruits in both companies, and one could find out everything by asking around.

Thinking back to the news he heard at that time, even after a night had passed, the lieutenant platoon leader still felt somewhat complicated.

Being able to be admitted into a military academy, especially into the command department, and successfully graduate, although not showing it on the outside, deep down inside, it is inevitable that I feel a little proud.

This result has exceeded 80% of ordinary people.

It's normal to be a little proud.

However, after hearing about Jiang Chen's deeds last night, the little pride in his heart was completely shattered.

In terms of academic qualifications, the reputation of Northwestern Polytechnical University can compete with that of Peking University and Tsinghua University.

Others may not know, but how could these officers not know how awesome Northwestern Polytechnical University is?

As for military achievements, he is a lieutenant and only received a third-class collective merit last year for his good performance in an exercise.

And the new recruit from the third company...

He couldn't help but think of the soldiers who were promoted for their merits in the army and whom he met in the recruit camp when he first arrived at the military academy.

At that time, the students in these places were badly tortured.

……

After lunch, everyone was finally able to have a good rest after being busy since they were woken up for an emergency assembly at two in the morning.

After simply tidying up, except for the necessary sentries, everyone else couldn't wait to climb into bed and fall asleep.

Jiang Chen felt that the speed of falling asleep was even faster than when he entered the dream space.

After taking a nap for more than two hours, everyone finally caught their breath.

In the afternoon, no other training tasks were arranged and everyone stayed in the dormitory to maintain their guns.

It can be used in mountains and in water. Although the Type 81 axle is famous for its durability, it still requires proper maintenance.

When maintaining guns, everyone sits on the ground, spreads a gun cloth, places the gun on it, disassembles it, wipes it, oils it, and finally assembles it.

After suffering several losses, Lu Xingwang and his companions have developed a certain resistance to Jiang Chen's abnormal level.

As long as it was a subject in the recruit company, no matter how abnormal Jiang Chen's performance was, they would not be surprised at all.

But even so, several people were still shocked by the speed displayed by Jiang Chen.

What kind of crazy speed is this? It felt like just a blink of an eye, and the Type 81 rifle in Jiang Chen's hand turned into pieces on the ground.

Jiang Chen was wiping the gun parts he had just disassembled on his hands, but he would occasionally glance at Zhang Ming.

Compared to the Type 81 rifle that had been maintained countless times, he was more curious about the Type 85 sniper rifle in Zhang Ming's hand.

Although Zhang Ming had previously mentioned some basic information about the Type 85 sniper rifle, Jiang Chen was still very curious about its internal structure.

"Come and try?" Zhang Ming greeted him with a smile when he noticed Jiang Chen's occasional glances at him.

Jiang Chen subconsciously wanted to stand up, but after thinking it over, he sat down again.

"Let's not do it. I heard that a sniper rifle is like a sniper's second wife. If it gets broken..."

In his previous life, Jiang Chen had seen similar videos online many times.

Something like touching the sniper's scope and being chased across eight blocks.

He didn't want to be chased around by Zhang Ming because of such a small matter.

"Haha, it's not that exaggerated. A sniper rifle needs to be recalibrated every time it is disassembled."

Hearing what Zhang Ming said, Jiang Chen was no longer restrained. He quickly finished the work in his hands, reassembled the Type 81 rifle, and moved next to Zhang Ming.

"I've told you the basic parameters of the Type 85 sniper before. Today I'll tell you something you don't know..."

While showing Jiang Chen the parts of the Type 85 sniper rifle, Zhang Ming said, "This is the firing pin I told you about before. Be careful when maintaining it. It breaks very easily.

Also, although the 85mm sniper scope can be used at night, it is not a true night vision scope because it does not have a night vision image intensifier. Shooting in a night environment is a test of the sniper's personal experience. "

As he spoke, Zhang Ming pointed to the location where the scope of the Type 85 sniper rifle was installed.

"Due to a design flaw, the scope of the Type 85 sniper rifle is very easy to loosen, further affecting the accuracy of the shooting, so be sure to check it several times during installation."

Hearing Zhang Ming talking about the scope, Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask curiously: "I saw on the Internet that the fastest way to anger a sniper is to touch his scope. Is that true?"

“Uh…” Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: “This statement is quite interesting.

It's half and half. If you don't understand how the scope works, it's fine even if you are allowed to twist it randomly.

For example, these two places..."

Zhang Ming pointed at the most conspicuous handwheels above and below the scope.

"The function of this thing is to make adjustments at any time according to the actual situation during shooting. The situation you just mentioned does not exist.

but……"

Zhang Ming's expression turned serious. He glanced at Lu Xingwang and Su Yu who were surrounding him with curious looks, and said with a hint of warning in his tone: "There are two points. If anyone dares to touch them, I will twist his head off!"

The scope of a sniper rifle has a zero point, which is the thing that a sniper cannot tolerate the most.

What is the zero point? It is simply to adjust the sight at a specified distance so that the actual impact point of the bullet coincides with the center of the sight.

This is the most important task for a sniper when calibrating his firearm.

Not to mention the time and effort required to complete this task, the process is also extremely cumbersome.

First, you need professional target paper and measuring tools, and then you need to calibrate them slowly at one distance at a time.

For example, start with the common calibration of 100 meters or 200 meters.

During the process, you need to select a distance to shoot multiple times and observe the distribution of impact points.

According to the deviation between the impact point and the aiming point, gradually fine-tune the sight until the crosshairs and the impact point coincide.

Even if it has been calibrated previously, every disassembly of the scope will affect the zero point.

That’s why I said just now that the fastest way to anger a sniper is to move his scope.

Listening to Zhang Ming's explanation, Jiang Chen nodded suddenly.

In his previous life, he was very curious about this matter, mainly because he had seen many videos in which snipers could twist their weapons around without any problem, but would fight to the death if touched by others, which was a bit confusing.

Now he finally understood the reason.

Perhaps he was a little fascinated by what he was listening to, and Lu Xingwang subconsciously reached out to touch the scope in Zhang Ming's hand.

slap~

"You bastard, are you looking for death?" Zhang Ming reacted very quickly and slapped Lu Xingwang's outstretched hand, glaring at him and cursing in a cold tone.

Lu Xingwang came back to his senses and quickly explained: "Well, Brother Ming, don't be angry, I didn't mean it..."

"Hmph, have you finished maintaining your gun? If you have, go and help Lao Fang clean up the Type 40 firearms. Don't just come over here for no reason..."

After sending away Lu Xingwang who came to join in the fun, Zhang Ming turned around and continued to talk to Jiang Chen about the precautions to take when using a sniper rifle.

Seeing this scene made Lu Xingwang feel sour in his mouth that his back teeth were almost broken.
