My Military Career in a Parallel World

At four o'clock in the morning, as the emergency assembly whistle sounded, more than a hundred soldiers who had been ready quickly assembled.

The teams of the three companies gathered and stood in the large playground of the camp. Battalion Commander Lei Zhenjun came to the front of the team with a stern face.

"If you want to cheer me up, I believe your company commander and instructor have already said it yesterday, so I won't waste any more words.

In this confrontation, I have only one request!"

Lei Zhenjun raised a finger: "Complete the mission and collect intelligence. The loss of each company cannot exceed half!"

“If the loss is more than half, then you don’t need to come back, just go to the logistics department to produce and raise pigs for a month!

Don't tell me you are some kind of scout. People who can't even beat infantry in their own home ground don't deserve the title of scout!"

After saying that, Lei Zhenjun turned and left. Next, the company commanders gave speeches to the soldiers in their own company.

"Everyone has heard the battalion commander's request!"

Ge Hongtao came to the third company and said loudly: "Let me add one more sentence here!"

"The Mountain Tiger Reconnaissance Company has been reorganized and rebuilt in history, but it has never failed!

There are 128 people in the company. Each of you must kill at least one person for me and take back their armbands!

With two armbands, you can order a dish from the kitchen. As long as it’s not sea cucumber, abalone, bird’s nest or shark’s fin, I will try my best to satisfy you!

If you have more than three armbands, you can come to me to exchange your leave slips on weekends!

Besides, it’s not the kind of leave that only allows you to go out for half a day!”

Wow~

Upon hearing this, the entire Reconnaissance Company 3 became excited. Leave notes are divided into different grades. The lowest grade is naturally a note that only allows one to go out for half a day or four or five hours.

Almost no one will apply for this kind of leave unless it is necessary.

It's not worth it. It's more than ten kilometers from here to the nearest town, and there's no car so you have to walk. If you want to go to the county town, forget it.

Anyone who wants to take this kind of vacation can go.

But the leave note that Ge Hongtao mentioned just now, which allows one to spend the night outside, is different.

Although it is impossible to go home because of only a day and a half, it is definitely enough to go to the county town and relax.

Get a massage, soak your feet, have a good meal, then go to the Internet cafe to play games. You can also have a good sleep for the rest of the time. Just be back before dinner the next day.

Apart from family leave and marriage leave, this type of leave is the most popular.

Especially for new recruits who have just joined the army and have no desire to visit their families, the temptation is extremely great.

This is not the end. Ge Hongtao continued, "It just so happens that the number of leave places at the end of this year has not been determined yet. The soldiers who killed the most enemies in this battle can be added to the leave list!"

"Well, the armbands of the police detective company will be doubled!" Ge Hongtao added at the end.

After these words were spoken, not only veteran squad leaders like Li Gang, but even the three platoon leaders could no longer sit still.

They don't care about taking a day or two off, but they cannot ignore the home visit leave to be with their families during the Chinese New Year.

Li Cheng, the most senior platoon leader in the reconnaissance company, last went home to visit his family a few years ago when he was promoted to military academy.

Not to mention others.

It is common not to have returned home or seen parents for four or five years.

Some people have even served in the army for six or seven years without ever getting a chance to go home for the New Year reunion.

Now, Ge Hongtao suddenly launched such a large satellite. It would be strange if these old soldiers could still sit still.

"Of course, rewards come with punishments. Soldiers who died in battle but didn't kill anyone can forget about going out or taking a vacation next year. Some people are going to the production company to raise pigs, so you can go with them.

If you can't even do a one-for-one exchange, how dare you call yourself a scout!"

After saying that, Ge Hongtao ordered everyone to check their weapons, equipment and belongings.

Apart from a full water bottle and one day's rations, no additional items were allowed.

The kitchen staff had already prepared rations for everyone on the first day.

It's very simple and original, a small bag of fried noodles that once played an important role in the fight against the eagle and aid to North Korea.

As a rural person from Qin Province, Jiang Chen is no stranger to fried noodles.

There is a kind of food called oil tea noodles in their hometown, and the main ingredient is also made of flour.

Jiang Chen really liked eating it when he was a child.

After everyone had checked their weapons and equipment and received their rations, Li Gang began to explain the mission objectives and plans of this operation to everyone.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight without danger.

Yesterday afternoon, each class received detailed rules and opponent intelligence about this wilderness survival competition.

Their opponents consisted of two groups, numbering about seven hundred people.

The first is a reinforced main infantry battalion composed of two battalions with a strength of more than 500 people.

It is equipped with Type 92 armored personnel carriers, tanks, command vehicles, communication vehicles, as well as radio stations equipped to squad units and a large amount of heavy firepower.

Such as howitzers, artillery, heavy mortars, recoilless guns, etc.

Not to mention individual weapons, there are multi-purpose grenade launchers, individual rocket launchers, 60mm mortars for providing fire support at medium and short distances, and so on.

From this perspective, what Battalion Commander Lei Zhenjun said just now was not entirely wrong.

The main force of the opponent is indeed a group of infantry.

However, compared to this reinforced infantry battalion of more than 500 people, what really makes everyone fearful is the police detective company led by the chief of staff.

Although the infantry battalion is luxuriously equipped and has an overwhelming amount of heavy firepower, in this mountainous jungle environment, the effects of many weapons and equipment are extremely limited.

As long as they get into the woods, heavy firepower equipment such as armored vehicles, tanks, howitzers, artillery, recoilless guns, etc. will hardly cause them any trouble, and at most they can only play some blockade support role.

Also, don't forget that the theme of this confrontation is survival in the wild.

The environment they need to face is how to escape the enemy's encirclement and complete intelligence collection work and return successfully in the absence of supplies and logistical supplies and support.

This means that they will basically not engage in direct combat with the enemy.

In this way, the enemy's firepower and manpower advantages will be greatly reduced, and the police detective company led by the chief of staff will be the real main force.

Once they get entangled with us, coupled with the enemy's superior numbers and firepower...

Therefore, after a day of discussion yesterday, Ge Hongtao finally decided to break the whole into smaller units and have each class take action independently.

This is a high-risk, high-return strategy.

Unlike the steady platoon-based fighting style, dispersing the soldiers under his command, without a unified command, is a great test of the soldiers' personal military qualities and the squad leader's ability to respond to emergencies.

Once the squad leader makes a mistake in judgement on the spot, or the soldiers' individual military qualities are not up to standard and they are caught by the enemy, due to their absolute numerical advantage, they may not even be able to mount an effective resistance and the entire squad will be wiped out.

Where there are disadvantages, there are advantages.

Similarly, because of their small number, it is easy to hide, so even if more than a hundred pigs are scattered in the woods, it will be enough to keep the other side busy for a while.

The police detective company and the infantry battalion have a total of more than 700 soldiers. Excluding some auxiliary troops and personnel operating armored vehicles and tanks to form a blockade line, there are only about 500 troops who can search deep into the jungle.

The three companies of the reconnaissance battalion together have more than 300 people.

Five hundred versus three hundred, even if the opponent has fire support and supplies, the advantage is not as great as imagined.

Since it is a confrontation, it is naturally impossible for one side to have an absolute advantage.

Although the other side has advantages in weapons, equipment, manpower, and logistics supplies, they also need to find talents in the vast jungle.

If there were no additional conditions that Ge Hongtao had just put forward, that each person needed to kill at least one enemy, to be honest, the difficulty of completing the mission would not be very high.

Li Gang took out a topographic map, turned on the flashlight, drew a circle on it and said, "This area is our target location. Our mission is to find more than three mission targets in this area within five days and successfully deploy signal transmitters."

"Attention, these mission targets are important military facilities of the enemy, be careful of ambushes when operating!

If you find that something is wrong, don’t hesitate to retreat immediately! "

This is the disadvantage of breaking the whole into parts.

Once the enemy's numbers are large, you can only run away and there is no room for resistance.

Fortunately, the enemy's forces were limited, and they had the help of two other brother companies to contain them. In addition, with such a large search range, they also had to prevent them from approaching their important military facilities and successfully deploy signal transmitters.

The military strength is inevitably stretched.

This gave them room to act.

Then Li Gang said a few secret codes to confirm each other's identities.

The code used by the three company members to identify each other is: "Tiger/Deep Mountain."

The code used by the companies of the reconnaissance battalion to identify each other was: "Leave the grass on the plain, go to the farm to raise pigs."

Needless to say, this must have been a code chosen by the battalion commander himself. Even when he gave the code he did not forget to remind them to go to the farm to raise pigs. No one except the battalion commander could do such a thing.

If Bai Da knew that someone had tampered with his poems like this, he would probably be so angry that he would jump out of his coffin.

……

At 4:30 in the morning, three large transport planes appeared above everyone's heads.

Each company boarded the helicopter one by one under the leadership of their respective platoon leaders.

Since this field survival confrontation is a dispersed action, the company commanders and instructors of each company will not participate.

This is also one of the reasons why Ge Hongtao chose to break the whole into parts.

Buzz buzz buzz...the helicopter's propeller began to spin rapidly.

This was the first time Jiang Chen had ridden in a helicopter in his two lifetimes.

Although the sound of the rotating propeller made his ears a little uncomfortable, it still couldn't stop his curiosity.

His eyes kept looking at the interior decoration of the helicopter.

how to say……

It's a bit shabby and not as technological as I'd imagined.

Z-8, Chinese name 'Shendiao-8', is a multi-purpose helicopter developed in the 321s based on the SA helicopter/Super Hornet helicopter.

Due to the limitation of load capacity, the Z-8 can only carry a platoon of soldiers at most at each takeoff, and it needs three round trips to transport everyone.

This is also the main reason why the first and second companies chose to act as platoon units.

The interior space of the Z-8 is very narrow, basically just enough for two or three people to stand side by side. However, it is quite long, and Jiang Chen estimated that it should be about five or six meters.

A platoon of thirty fully armed soldiers filled the interior of the helicopter.

As the helicopter took off, the noise of the propellers became less annoying than before.

Li Cheng clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

"The battalion commander and company commander have already said what needs to be said. I am only reiterating one point!

Anyone who fails to eliminate one person will be kicked out. Not only will they receive the punishment the company commander mentioned before, but they will also have to go to the farm with the others to raise pigs for a month, and their vacation and outings next year will be cancelled. After they come back, they will have to wash clothes for the entire platoon for a month!"

"Do you understand everything?"

Adding layers of pressure, this is probably one of the army’s favorite tactics.

Regardless of the outcome of the battle, at least we must try to boost morale as much as possible before the battle begins.

"I understand!"

Everyone shouted loudly.

"Well, just listen and understand. I'm not kidding you. If you dare to fire blanks at me...

Humph, come back and see how I deal with you!"

After talking about the requirements for the soldiers, Li Cheng talked about the requirements of this mission.

“According to the confrontation regulations, each company must successfully place at least ten signal transmitters to meet the mission requirements.

In order to avoid mission failure, each class must complete as many tasks as possible for me in addition to the most basic requirements..."

At first Jiang Chen didn't react. There were ten signal transmitters, and three per class was just right...

But after hearing what came next, he suddenly came to his senses. The requirement was to deploy a total of ten per company, which meant that almost one per squad could complete the task.

Then I thought about what Li Gang said before we set out, that we need to deploy at least three...

Jiang Chen was speechless for a moment. He felt something was wrong at that moment. The difficulty of this task was too damn high.

Not only does each person need to kill at least one enemy soldier, but they also have to complete more than three mission objectives.

Even if the special forces came, it would probably not be easy to do this.

Everyone in the third squad looked at squad leader Li Gang. The resentment in their eyes could be felt even by the soldiers in other squads next door.

Faced with the silent protest of the crowd, Li Gang just grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.

Well, what can they do when faced with such a crappy squad leader?

Looking at this situation, Li Gang obviously had no intention of taking back what he had said before, so they could only accept their fate.

In fact, it's not just their class, the situation in the two classes next door is similar.

The first squad is led by Platoon Leader Li Cheng himself. You don't have to guess to know that it won't be an easy journey.

The second squad leader is Zhao Hongbin, who is also a jerk. Jiang Chen had already experienced this when he was in the recruit company.

He is definitely the direct disciple of their company commander Ge Keng.

Jiang Chen even suspected that the combined mission objectives of their three classes had probably already covered the ten minimum mission requirements.

Moreover, looking at the excitement that flashed in these guys' eyes from time to time, I'm afraid that completing the ten mission objectives is only the basis, and getting as many kills as possible is their real purpose.

Jiang Chen had not forgotten the murderous looks from those veteran soldiers when the company commander said that those who killed the most people would be given a vacation at the end of the year.
