My Military Career in a Parallel World

Unfortunately, the time was too short and many scouts did not have enough time to learn professional skills training.

For example: camouflage infiltration, vehicle driving, reconnaissance tactics, mine clearance, etc.

However, Jiang Chen did not care too much about it. As long as he was still in the reconnaissance company, he would be exposed to these things sooner or later. The top priority now was the field survival training that was about to begin.

For this wilderness survival training, Jiang Chen almost tore the wilderness survival manual to pieces.

For this purpose, Jiang Chen also taught himself some simple military topography.

I don't ask for anything else, just to be able to read the map, determine the direction, and confirm the standing point and target point.

There are also sign language and flag language used for communication in special environments. In order to be prepared for any eventuality, he also learned some.

In the dream space, Jiang Chen was lying on the bed, holding a book and reading it carefully.

Scout Field Survival Manual

1. Preliminary preparations

1. Understand the terrain, climate, and ecology of the mission area.

2. Equipment selection: Choose appropriate equipment according to the environment and climate, including necessary tools such as knives, compasses, maps, etc.

Choose high-calorie, light and easy-to-store foods as much as possible.

In addition, a certain amount of emergency medicines must be prepared.

The company should help prepare equipment, food, and medicine. My main task now is to get a general understanding of the environment, climate, and terrain in the training area.

Thinking in his mind, Jiang Chen continued to look down.

2. Finding water sources

Give priority to running water, which is relatively safer and more hygienic.

Observe the color and smell of the water to determine whether it is safe, and how to purify turbid and smelly water.

Although Li Gang mentioned these things when they were in the recruit company, he only mentioned them briefly. He also only gave a general idea of ​​the methods of purifying water sources and did not let them try it out themselves.

It’s not that Li Gang doesn’t want to teach, but the recruit company only has three months after all, and the training task is too tight. Some detailed issues can only wait until the next company is sent to the affiliated unit for further in-depth teaching.

Jiang Chen carefully wrote down every word for the several methods of water purification recorded in the book.

In addition, you can also use plants to obtain water. The stems of some plants contain a lot of water.

There was a long list of plant illustrations below, and Jiang Chen memorized them all silently.

It is also possible to collect residual dew from the leaves of some large plants in the early morning.

The location of groundwater can be determined based on plants and soil, and deep pits can be dug to wait for groundwater to seep out.

Or you can look for possible groundwater at the bottom of valleys and at the foot of mountains.

After writing down all the above ways to obtain water, Jiang Chen continued to read on.

3. Get food.

First up is the plant category. When you open the book, you'll see illustrations of all kinds of plants, wild vegetables, and fruits that can be used.

Next, we teach how to set traps to catch small animals and how to catch fish without professional tools.

4. Build a shelter.

5. Determine the direction.

6. Obtaining the fire source.

7. Danger response.

8. Communications/Emergency Communications.

IX. Principles of Action

ten……

Ever since he learned about wilderness survival training, Jiang Chen would take out this wilderness survival manual and read it whenever he had time.

When he has nothing to do, he would ask veterans like Tang Junjie for advice on survival in the wild.

Taking advantage of the weekend break, Jiang Chen also found an opportunity to ask Li Gang to take him to try out several methods of filtering and purifying water recorded in the book.

……

Time passes day by day.

November 13th.

on Monday.

"Comrades, the monthly wilderness survival training is here!"

After the flag-raising ceremony, Company Commander Ge Hongtao stood under the flagpole and shouted loudly.

“First, let me talk about the training area this time.

The battalion commander said that training in one area for a long time would hinder everyone's improvement.

Therefore, after obtaining approval from the regiment headquarters, it was decided to expand the training area.

It is no longer limited to the defense area of ​​our reconnaissance battalion, and you will no longer be deployed in this area!"

As soon as Ge Hongtao said this, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company, who had been sitting back and waiting, all changed their expressions.

Survival in the wild is neither difficult nor easy.

The unknown is the most terrifying thing. Without the advantage of geographical location, this wilderness survival training may not be as simple as imagined.

"Moreover, in order to simulate a real combat environment, an army of more than 500 people will search for you..."

Wow~

The crowd was in an uproar.

It would have been fine if they had just changed their training area, but there was actually a regular army of nearly two battalions surrounding them.

This is crazy...

Just thinking about it made everyone feel a chill down their spine.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Ge Hongtao's mouth corners slightly raised, and then another big piece of news broke out.

"People from the Police Detective Company will also participate in this operation and assist the soldiers from the Second Battalion. The Chief of Staff will be in charge personally and serve as the overall commander of this field survival exercise!"

What the hell!

Now everyone really wanted to curse.

A mechanized infantry battalion with heavy firepower, a reconnaissance company formed by selecting the best from the entire regiment, and a lieutenant colonel chief of staff personally in charge.

How can you play with this?

Just raise your hands and surrender...

However, they only think about these words and complaints in their hearts at most.

"Tell me, are you afraid?!" Ge Hongtao asked loudly.

"When two brave men meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!

Reconnaissance Company, kill! kill! kill!"

"it is good!"

"I'm not going to play tricks with you. Just one sentence! If you win, you get a day off to eat meat. If you get caught, all your outings and vacations for the next year will be cancelled!!!"

Even if everyone was just being tough in words just now, now that they were encouraged by the company commander, the pride that was unique to scouts in their hearts was also aroused.

What is a Scout?

Think what others dare not think, and do what others dare not do.

In that era when special forces were not yet popular, they were the undisputed kings of the army and the jungle death gods.

While others are eating meat and having holidays, you are training hard in the company?

Sorry, this option does not exist in their dictionary.

We all have one head on two shoulders, so who’s afraid of whom?

"What's our company's code name?!"

"Mountain Tiger!"

“The tiger is the king of beasts, and we are the kings in the forests!

I hope you guys don’t let down the reputation of the Mountain Tiger Reconnaissance Company, and show those bastards in the Police Detective Company what it means to be the king of the forest!”

“Do you have confidence?!”

"Have!"

“I didn’t hear that!!”

Although everyone's voices were already very loud, when Ge Hongtao asked this question, everyone raised their voices again, and the veins on their necks bulged as they shouted, "Yes!!!"

"Very good. Now everyone has it. I'll give you a day off today. Go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow you'll have to deal with those bastards in the Detective Company!"

"Yes! Give those bastards in the Detective Company a good beating!"

The same scene happened in the other two companies.

On the way back, everyone was discussing this matter.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that they were shouting so loudly and confidently just now, and even said that they wanted to give the police detective company a good beating.

But when he thought about the opponent's luxurious lineup, the confidence and heroism that had just risen up quickly cooled down as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on his head.

As old rivals, they knew best the strength of the Police Detective Company and the cunningness of the Chief of Staff.

Moreover, although the Second Battalion is a mechanized infantry battalion, its strength should not be underestimated.

"Squad leader, the people on the other side are both mechanized armored infantry and the police detective company, so can we team up and act together?"

According to previous wilderness survival training regulations, they were not allowed to act together in a team.

But given the current situation, if they cannot act as a team, then it would be no different from surrendering.

"Haha, of course you can. If I'm not mistaken, this field survival exercise should not limit the number of teams. The battalion commander and the company commander will ask us to act together and even assign us some tasks."

Wang Jie is also a veteran of the reconnaissance company. Although this is his first time encountering this type of field survival training, he has experienced similar exercises countless times.

Li Gang also smiled and said: "In fact, for a confrontational exercise like this, you can treat it as a real battlefield. There are no rules to restrict it. If you have the ability, you can just rob the opponent's tanks and armored vehicles, or put on makeup and blend into the enemy team, etc...."

After saying that, Li Gang seemed to remember something and added, "Of course, this is limited to our internal exercises. There are still many restrictions on division-level exercises."

Although Li Gang said it lightly, Jiang Chen knew that things were not that simple.

Ever since Tang Junjie mentioned the big military exercise at the end of the year, Jiang Chen has been asking questions about it in a roundabout way.

Although he still didn't know what Tang Junjie didn't finish saying at that time, he already had a certain understanding of the large-scale exercise.

I don’t know when the drill turned into a show.

Before the exercise begins, the directorate will even come up with a script and require participating troops from both sides to follow the contents of the script.

No matter what the process is, the Blues will definitely fail and the Reds will definitely win.

When Jiang Chen heard about this for the first time, he was shocked and even his worldview was shattered.

Having watched countless military films and TV shows in his previous life, Jiang Chen had always had great expectations for the exercise.

I have also fantasized that I could be like the protagonists in TV dramas, turning the tide and saving the collapsing building.

He sneaked into the enemy headquarters alone, carried out a decapitation operation, and sniped the enemy commander.

Or lead a special team to go deep behind enemy lines and destroy important enemy military equipment and supplies.

But when he heard that the exercise was really just an act, all of Jiang Chen's expectations and fantasies were shattered in an instant.

"At the same time, you must also be careful of the other side using the same tricks. Disguise and infiltration are not only our forte, but also the forte of the Police Detective Company.

Especially you, Jiang Chen..."

Li Gang turned his head to look at Jiang Chen and solemnly warned him: "If you meet unfamiliar soldiers, don't blindly trust them even if they are wearing our uniforms and holding our equipment!"

Jiang Chen nodded seriously, indicating that he understood.

"However, you don't have to worry too much. Before we set off, the company commander will definitely give us a unified code. Not only our company, but the first and second companies next door will also have their own exclusive codes. The entire reconnaissance battalion will also set a code for mutual identification.

If you encounter someone you don't know in our camp in the wild, use the secret code. If you can't use the secret code, treat him as an enemy!"

At this point, Li Gang was still cautious and reminded: "Of course, unless it is someone you know, you should be cautious even if you match the secret code. It is better not to act with someone you don't know."

"Similarly, the other side will definitely have similar defenses. You haven't learned how to hide in disguise yet, so don't think about doing something like that, lest you get tricked."

Li Gang explained in great detail and Jiang Chen listened very carefully.

Although he had similar thoughts in his mind, he was not one of those hot-blooded young men who thought he was invincible. He would not do such a thing before he was absolutely sure.

Just like Li Gang said just now, it doesn't matter if you die alone, but we are afraid that the other side will not take any action and use you as bait, and then follow the clues to dig out other comrades.

It harms others and yourself.

……

Since the purpose is to let everyone have a good rest and recharge their batteries, Ge Hongtao naturally won't be stingy.

Not only does the bathhouse provide hot water all day, but it also provides extra dishes at noon.

Just after finishing his meal, the fat boy Sun Weichen came to the door on his own initiative.

"Brother Chen, I heard from the squad leader that you are going to go for wilderness survival training tomorrow?"

"Well, it's not just about survival in the wild, but also about confrontation..." Jiang Chen nodded and briefly recounted what happened in the morning.

"Ah? Then do you think our kitchen staff should come along? I don't want to eat bugs anymore!"

Apparently Sun Weichen had not forgotten the incident of eating insects in the recruit company.

"I don't think so..." Jiang Chen replied uncertainly.

Although the kitchen squad is also part of the reconnaissance company 3, they do not eat and live together with everyone else, and their training is also arranged according to the mood of the kitchen squad leader.

Anyway, Jiang Chen hadn't seen anyone from the kitchen team on the training ground for more than a week since he arrived.

"Go back and ask your squad leader."

"I asked, but our squad leader was very secretive and said it was a military secret. We'll know when the time comes."

"Uh..." Jiang Chen was stunned, and inexplicably thought to himself, would the company commander really want the kitchen staff to participate as well? !

However, he dismissed this idea as soon as it came to his mind.

Although there are many talented people in the kitchen, anything can happen in the kitchen of a place like a reconnaissance camp.

However, we also have to take the reality into consideration.

Not to mention that there are only a few such people who are like the Sweeping Monk. Given Sun Weichen's current condition, if he were really thrown into the woods, he might not be able to survive even half a day.

The point is that there is no point in doing so.

Without any training or knowledge of wilderness survival, they just threw people into the woods. It would be ok if they were caught or eliminated, but if something happened...

The two chatted for a while, and after listening to Jiang Chen's analysis, Sun Weicheng's heart gradually settled down. As long as he was not allowed to eat insects, everything would be fine.

After watching Sun Weicheng leave, Jiang Chen returned to the dormitory, got his things, and was about to head straight to the bathhouse when he heard a familiar voice suddenly coming from outside the door.

"report!"
