My Military Career in a Parallel World

Listening to Feng Yao's explanation, Lei Zhenjun's expression gradually became solemn.

He thought about the reasons for the failure of the Police Detective Company, but he never thought that they would be defeated so miserably, without any ability to fight back, and they hadn't even seen the shadow of the opponent, but the final result of the exercise was already doomed.

At the same time, he was also reflecting on himself.

They always say that the current exercises are like acting, but in fact, aren't they used to this mode?

Exercises are war.

What is war?

Do whatever it takes to win.

You can choose not to use it, but you cannot live without it, and you cannot be without defense.

They have indeed lived too comfortably over the years.

Everything seemed to be carried out according to a script, and there was no trace of the mentality of treating the exercise as a war.

The two of them shut up tacitly, no longer talking about the previous topic, and silently focused their attention on the computer screen in front of them.

The red dot representing the reconnaissance battalion was advancing forward continuously, while the blue dot representing the infantry battalion was being beaten back despite having the upper hand in the overall situation.

When the number of soldiers around him was reduced from thirteen to eight, the commando team led by Li Cheng finally arrived within a hundred meters of the target area.

"Second artillery deploys signal transmitters, others provide cover!"

At Li Cheng's command, the team changed again, returning to the previous diamond formation to buy enough time to deploy the signal transmitter.

The opponent did not expect that this group of scouts would be so brave. Knowing that they were surrounded, they did not think about how to retreat first, but instead rushed into the center of the encirclement.

Caught off guard, they actually managed to find a breakthrough.

Now it was the turn of the infantry battalion and the police detective company to be anxious.

An entire platoon of our troops was used to encircle and suppress a squad. If we allowed the enemy to successfully complete the mission, we would definitely be ridiculed by our comrades when we return.

Uncle can tolerate it, but aunt can’t!

The people from the police reconnaissance company and the infantry battalion also became fierce. The encirclement was quickly reduced and they launched a fierce attack on the position of the first squad that was deploying the launcher.

"How long will it take!" In just a moment, smoke appeared over the heads of three people in the queue.

On the mountainside, several soldiers from the infantry battalion had already placed the mortars they carried with them and were conducting the final adjustments.

"Two minutes, hold on for two more minutes!" Li Erpao replied as he looked down at the signal transmitter in his hand that was still flashing rapidly.

"No, we can't delay any longer here. Everyone, get moving and break out in the nine o'clock direction."

It takes time to set up the signal transmitter, but they can't just stand there and get hit. If they wait for the opposite mortar to be set up, they will become real living targets.

However, there were only five of them. How could they withstand the attack of dozens of people on the opposite side?

Seeing his comrades around him falling one after another, Li Cheng knew that he couldn't go on like this.

He gritted his teeth and said to Li Erpao, a commando beside him: "Give me the signal transmitter. I'll lead them away. You guys find a chance to break out. As long as we enter the forest, it's our home ground!"

Facing the platoon leader's order, Li Erpao seemed not to have heard it. He stuffed the signal transmitter in his hand into his arms, showing a mouthful of white teeth on his camouflaged face, and said with a smile: "Platoon leader, let me do it. I'm just a soldier. It doesn't matter whether I die or not. If you die, our platoon will become the first team of the third company to lose its commander. When we go back, we will be laughed to death by those bastards in the second and third platoons!"

Li Cheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Li Erpao had already turned around and rushed in the opposite direction, not giving him a chance to speak.

Li Cheng gritted his teeth and roared: "Why are you all standing there? Follow me to break through!!"

"Yes!"

Although Li Cheng's command ability is not as good as the other two platoon leaders of the third company, he is very keen on grasping the opportunities in battle.

Especially in such small-scale battles, he can often quickly find the enemy's weaknesses and exploit them. This is the experience Li Cheng has accumulated step by step from a soldier to an officer, and it is also the fundamental reason why one platoon can always suppress the other two platoons.

From this point of view alone, Li Cheng is actually more suitable to join the special forces rather than stay in the reconnaissance company as a grassroots officer.

Although there were only three soldiers left around him, Li Cheng did not show any sign of being timid or nervous. Instead, he acted as if he was the one with the advantage.

He took three of his soldiers with him and rushed towards the enemy's weakest left wing.

This situation is not an isolated case.

Also ambushed were two platoons from the Second Reconnaissance Company and the Third Platoon from the First Reconnaissance Company where Zhang Meng was.

The good news is that the first and second companies both acted in platoon units. Although they encountered an ambush during the operation, due to limited time, the enemy could not spare many troops. In addition, the overall quality of the scouts was superior, so they were able to cope with it.

However, this situation is only temporary. The enemy's reinforcements will arrive soon, and don't forget that the opponent still has a lot of heavy firepower equipment that has not been put into use.

Once these heavy firepower equipment are deployed, as long as the people in the reconnaissance battalion dare to show up, they will be greeted with a merciless baptism of fire.

Of course, there were also teams that completed their tasks as smoothly as Team 3.

The second squad led by Zhao Hongbin from next door did not put up any effective resistance during the entire operation. They did not even see the shadows of the people on the opposite side. They just swaggered into the mission area, deployed the signal transmitter, and then swaggered away.

Not to mention people, not even a ghost was seen.

"Squad leader, what's going on?"

"Yeah, it's that simple, mission accomplished?"

"The people on the other side, they won't just give up."

After returning to the jungle, Zhao Hongbin and others did not leave directly, but chose to sneak back quietly, wanting to see what tricks the other side was playing.

However, they crawled in the grass for most of the day, until the signal transmitter was successfully activated and the broadcast of the destruction of Facility 043 sounded on the radio station, but there was still no movement from the camp below.

Zhao Hongbin lowered his head and thought for a moment. Without stopping, he led the second team towards the next target point.

In the third team.

Although everything went smoothly as planned, Li Gang was not happy at all. Instead, he felt a little uneasy.

Everything went too smoothly, so smoothly that it was unspeakable. There was not even the slightest disturbance in the entire process. They approached the mission area smoothly just as planned, deployed the signal transmitters, and retreated smoothly under the cover of snipers. Not to mention casualties, not even a scratch was noticed among the ten men.

Moreover, the opponent's fighting power and will were too weak, too weak to be a soldier...

Thinking of this, Li Gang suddenly turned around and shouted to the team: "Han Li."

Han Li, who was talking to Jiang Chen about camouflage and precautions for laying mines, responded subconsciously: "Here! What's the situation, squad leader?"

Han Li trotted over, and the others also became alert.

"No, I'm asking you, when you dealt with the sentries just now, did you pay attention to their ranks?"

Han Li was stunned, scratching his head and recalling: "The first one seems to be a corporal, and the second one... seems to be... a private."

"Okay, I understand, go back and continue to rest.

By the way, inform the others to set off in ten minutes to the next destination."

"Yes."

Although he was somewhat puzzled as to why the squad leader suddenly asked this, he did not say much. He still had to head to the next target location soon, so he could rest as long as possible.

On the other side, inside the command center.

Looking at the "death in action" information that kept popping up on the computer screen, although Lei Zhenjun was mentally prepared, his expression still looked a little ugly.

I looked down at my watch and realized that less than five hours had passed since the exercise began.

Let’s take a look at the remaining number of people in the reconnaissance battalion shown on the Beidou satellite system.

Two hundred and thirty-five people.

In less than five hours, nearly half of his troops had been lost. How could he sit still?

Before the war, he vowed that the reconnaissance battalion's losses in this exercise would definitely not exceed half, but now, in less than half a day, more than a hundred people are gone.

There are still four and a half days left. When the exercise is over, how many of the 235 people will be left...

This time I'm really embarrassed!

Lei Zhenjun secretly groaned in his heart.

However, it is not completely without good news. At least ten signal transmitters have been successfully activated in the past five hours.

In other words, if we have twenty more tasks to complete this exercise, then the task will be completed.

As long as they can complete the mission, the result of this exercise will be a victory for their reconnaissance battalion.

Although the loss may be a bit large, at least it is a win.

However, Lei Zhenjun is certainly not a mediocre person, as he was able to become a major and become the leader of a battalion.

After taking a quick glance at the map, he understood what the old fox next to him was up to.

Strategically abandon some military facilities in exchange for sufficient manpower, use the intelligence communication advantages brought by the Beidou system to strike the enemy's manpower as much as possible, and maximize the advantages of one's own manpower, firepower and intelligence.

As long as you can eliminate enough enemies in the first wave, the subsequent things will be much easier.

It's nothing more than a slow and steady process, slowly compressing the enemy's range of activities and then defeating them one by one.

It doesn’t matter even if they cannot wipe out all the enemies. As long as they can hold on until the end of the exercise and the reconnaissance battalion fails to complete its mission objectives, they can still win in the end.

So cunning!!!

Lei Zhenjun's mood, which had just improved a little, became gloomy again, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Of course, the reconnaissance battalion is not without a chance of turning the tables.

Ge Hongtao's risky decision to act as a squad unit actually retained the last chance of victory for the reconnaissance battalion.

It is precisely because the team was broken down into small pieces and divided up sufficiently that the reconnaissance battalion was able to take advantage of the enemy's withdrawal of forces and quickly obtain more than ten mission points.

Of these ten mission points, the Third Reconnaissance Company contributed seven, while the other two companies combined only completed three, which shows how great their gains were.

Moreover, except for the squad that Li Cheng was in which was almost wiped out in an ambush, the other squads in the third company suffered almost no losses.

It was precisely because of this that Shen Guofu, who was in charge of commanding the operation, had to adjust the original combat plan and temporarily give up the encirclement of the reconnaissance battalion. He allocated part of his forces to defend the remaining 20 mission target points, giving the reconnaissance battalion a chance to breathe.

It was according to their plan.

If the three companies of the reconnaissance battalion all chose to fight conservatively as platoon units, even if someone in the nine platoons was lucky enough to fish in troubled waters, they would at most lose a few mission points, but in return they would wipe out most of the enemy's forces in one go.

No matter how you look at it, it's a very good deal.

However, as Feng Yao said before, anything can happen in war.

Who could have thought that Ge Hongtao would ignore the safe method and take an unconventional approach, which disrupted the plan Feng Yao had made before the war.

In fact, to be honest, this matter is related to Jiang Chen.

It’s not that the other companies haven’t thought about splitting their troops, but they all have new recruits in their companies. Once the troops are split, several classes with new recruits will be tantamount to losing an important combat force.

There are already limited people in a class, and now we have to take on a burden. No one would be happy about that.

Especially in this exercise, several company commanders offered very generous conditions. Everyone wanted to complete more tasks and kill more enemies.

Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.

Although once the order is given, you have to execute it whether you understand it or not, this is just an exercise after all, not a real war.

You have to consider the emotions of your soldiers.

So, after much discussion, we finally decided that it would be better to act as a platoon unit.

Not only is it safe, but a platoon is more than enough to take care of one or two recruits, and the soldiers under him will not have any objections.

Let’s look back at the three consecutive matches.

There were only two new recruits this year, and one of them went to the kitchen team.

Jiang Chen's performance was witnessed by everyone. Even the people in Class 3 did not express any objection when they heard the company commander say that this exercise would be carried out in classes.

Even though Ge Hongtao offered all kinds of favorable conditions before departure, even offering New Year's Day home visit leave, no one thought there was anything wrong.

This is because, although Jiang Chen has only been in the company for half a month and still has many projects to learn, his current combat effectiveness and comprehensive strength have already surpassed those of the corporals in the company.

If Jiang Chen had not yet had time to learn some of the subjects that scouts must learn, such as camouflage, concealment, and reconnaissance tactics, even some first-term or even second-term non-commissioned officers would not dare to say that their combat effectiveness must be stronger than that of the enemy.

Even so, when Ge Hongtao proposed breaking up the troops into smaller units and fighting separately at the meeting, instructor Deng Chang and third platoon leader Lu Ming both subconsciously raised objections.

After seeing that Li Gang, the person involved, and Li Cheng, the platoon leader, had no objection, the two nodded and agreed to Ge Hongtao's battle plan.

Lei Zhenjun originally had some opinions about Ge Hongtao's reckless advance, but now he had to be thankful that this guy was brave enough to take the risk of splitting his troops in order to defeat the Second Company. Otherwise, the reconnaissance battalion would have suffered another setback this time.

"Ge kid, if you can really turn the tables this time, the embarrassing thing that happened to me during last year's exercise will be exposed!"

Lei Zhenjun thought to himself.
