My Military Career in a Parallel World

Scouts need to have excellent reconnaissance skills, including observation, lurking, camouflage, intelligence collection and analysis, and map drawing. In addition, they also need strong independent combat capabilities, adaptability, and decision-making capabilities.

The infantry focuses on mastering the use of various weapons and equipment, or more accurately, specializing in a certain type of weapon, such as artillery, tank soldiers, etc., as well as team-based coordinated operations.

Simply put, the larger the number of people, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the infantry, while the opposite is true for scouts.

When a squad of scouts fights a squad of infantry, it goes without saying that the scouts will have the advantage.

But when the unit expands by a company, it becomes hard to say who will win or lose.

If it is a battalion, the infantry's frontal combat effectiveness is definitely better than that of the scouts.

It has nothing to do with personal military qualities.

What are the characteristics of the scout's actions?

Carry out tasks in groups or individually, which is more flexible and covert.

For example, this exercise.

Even though other companies act as a platoon, when they actually take action, they mostly work in small groups to cooperate with each other to complete the task.

Infantry usually conducts large-scale collective actions in squads or companies. It is rare for a squad to be out of the command range or even unable to contact its own commander.

It is not as easy as imagined for two people to wipe out an entire infantry squad, even by surprise attack.

Maybe there's something wrong with the class itself, but it's more likely that these two scouts are unusual.

Thinking about this, he pressed the microphone and said, "Liu Tao, Yang Hui, you two take people to area 037 to take a look. There are two rats over there. See if you can catch their tails."

"Yes!"

……

On the other side, Jiang Chen and Tang Junjie, after completing the task of attracting enemy fire, quickly moved under the cover of the woods.

Due to the lack of sufficient individual communication equipment.

Each class is equipped with only one portable shortwave radio station that can conduct voice communications over medium and long distances. It is carried personally by Wang Jie, the deputy squad leader who is also a member of the command team.

Communication between other team members can only be done using short-range communication tools such as walkie-talkies, which can ensure communication between team members within a few kilometers.

However, as the team dispersed and the police detective company suddenly entered the scene, they had to temporarily give up using walkie-talkies to communicate.

Therefore, the two of them are not clear about the specific situation of others now, and can only take one step at a time.

Just when Jiang Chen and Tang Junjie were considering whether to go back and do another job, there was suddenly a noise in the jungle.

At first, the two were quite happy, thinking that another fat sheep had come to their doorstep.

However, as the distance between the two sides grew closer, they finally realized something was wrong.

It seemed that the other party was not just passing by, but was heading straight towards them!

"Retreat quickly, the bastards from the detective company are following us!" Tang Junjie cursed.

Jiang Chen, who was observing the situation through a telescope, also immediately noticed the two people in front of the team whose clothes and equipment were obviously different from those of ordinary soldiers.

Without any hesitation, the two immediately packed up their things, simply cleaned up the traces, and disappeared into the jungle without looking back.

However, the people in the police detective company are not there to do nothing, so how could they let the two of them go so easily?

It was certainly not luck that they were able to track them all the way here.

Although Jiang Chen and Tang Junjie had simply dealt with the traces along the way, it did not mean that they were foolproof.

What’s gone is gone, and no matter how carefully you try to remove the remaining traces, it is impossible to completely cover them up.

What's more, they were carrying out their work at night when the lighting was poor, and Jiang Chen was a reconnaissance recruit who could only be considered a 'half-baked' recruit for the time being.

When Liu Tao and Yang Hui arrived at the scene, they quickly found the position where the two had ambushed for the first time with the help of the infantry squad.

Based on the traces and footprints left on the ground, the two immediately figured out the general trajectory of Jiang Chen and his group's activities.

Including traces of the two secretly returning to continue the ambush after the battle.

In the mountains and fields, even though it hasn't rained much during this period, the air in the southeast is relatively humid, especially at night.

The light mist in the forest is the best proof.

The two big men, with the equipment on their bodies, must have weighed at least 100 pounds. It would be difficult for them to walk in the mountains without leaving footprints.

There is also the scraping of the backpack and equipment on your body against the branches and trees along the way while you are walking.

Even after simple processing, it would be no problem to hide it from the soldiers of the infantry battalion who are relatively lacking in this aspect, but it would be unrealistic to hide it from the eyes of fellow scouts.

Tang Junjie obviously knew this too.

While running in the jungle, the two men left behind a lot of misleading information, trying to delay and get rid of the pursuit of the police detective company behind them.

However, the other party is not a pushover, and with a large number of people, this method can only cause some minor troubles at most, and the effect it can play is very limited.

"Old Tang, this is not a solution. They will catch up with us sooner or later!" Jiang Chen said, panting.

Tang Junjie frowned and said, "Don't worry about it for now. Keep running and find a chance to get rid of them!"

The two of them quickly shuttled through the woods, Jiang Chen in front and Tang Junjie behind, cleaning up the traces left by the two as they ran.

Although we know that doing so is of no use, we can still delay it for a while, and many times, just a little bit of time may make the difference.

Jiang Chen ran while observing the surroundings, thinking of a strategy in his mind.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he discovered a patch of low bushes at the foot of the hill ahead.

"Old Tang!" Jiang Chen shouted behind him, pointing to the bushes below.

It is basically impossible to escape pursuit by just running, so they have to find another way.

At the very least, they cannot allow the other party to chase them like rabbits as recklessly as they are now.

Jiang Chen, a new recruit, understood the truth, so how could Tang Junjie, an old scout, not know it?

The two reached an agreement in an instant and slid down the hillside without hesitation.

When they arrived at the foot of the hillside, they quickly hid in the bushes, the bolt of the Type 81 rifle was pulled, the safety was released, the bullets were loaded and ready to engage the enemy.

To be on the safe side, the two men made some moves before coming down, creating the illusion of splitting up their forces, and used the grenades on their bodies to set up a few simple booby traps.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the enemy to come!

……

Liu Tao and Yang Hui led the infantry battalion's men all the way to the hillside.

Looking at the hillside and the obvious traces left in front of them, the two exchanged glances. Liu Tao spoke first, "We cannot rule out the possibility that they are deliberately misleading us. I suggest that we split into two groups. One group goes down the hillside to check, and the other continues to search around. We should keep in touch at all times."

Yang Hui nodded when he heard this. What Liu Tao said was exactly what he wanted to say.

What's more, the squad leader's order was not to let either of the two mice go, and no matter what tricks the other side played, they had to take them on.

That's the benefit of having a lot of people.

Since we have advantages, we naturally need to maximize them.

Jiang Chen and Tang Junjie hid in the bushes, watching everything silently with the help of optical telescopes.

"Once they separate, our chance will come. We should take the opportunity to disrupt their deployment and kill as many enemies as possible. Also, don't fight to the end." Tang Junjie warned in a low voice.

Jiang Chen nodded and clenched the Type 81 rifle in his hand.

After a while, the police detective company began to take action.

The troops were divided into two groups. Liu Tao led five soldiers and slowly moved down the hillside.

On the other side, Yang Hui led the remaining soldiers to explore forward.

Looking at the remaining traces on the hillside and the dense and thick bushes below, Liu Tao's heart suddenly jumped and he had a bad premonition.

"alert!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen and Tang Junjie had already seized the opportunity and launched an attack.

At this time, Liu Tao and the people of the infantry battalion were halfway up the mountain. They were caught off guard by the sudden attack. They could not advance or retreat, and the situation instantly fell into chaos.

Fortunately, there was a team led by Yang Hui on the hillside. After hearing the gunshots coming from this side and looking at the randomly placed booby traps in front of them, Yang Hui immediately understood what was going on and led his men back for help without hesitation.

With the advantage in numbers and firepower, the situation was reversed in an instant.

Jiang Chen and Tang Junjie are not stupid either. They just want to disrupt the opponent's deployment, not fight to the death.

When they discovered that the enemy's support had arrived, the two men found the right moment, used the cover of the bushes to distance themselves and disappeared into the depths of the jungle.

"Chase! Don't let them escape!"

Liu Tao didn't expect that the other side was so bold that two people dared to ambush them.

Looking at the infantry squad with only two people left alive, Liu Tao felt his blood boiling and wanted to lead his men to chase after them.

Fortunately, Yang Hui stopped him in time.

"These two mice are not as easy to deal with as we thought. Be careful or they will use the same old tricks again!"

Liu Tao was just impulsive just now. After calming down, he nodded silently, agreeing with Yang Hui's statement.

Although the two sides only separated after a brief clash, the instantaneous loss of three people on their side showed that the opponent was definitely not a good person.

In the dark night and in the jungle environment, he killed three soldiers in an instant, which shows how strong his marksmanship is.

Liu Tao, who is also an attacker, may be able to do it, but it is hard to say about Yang Hui next to him.

Without the help of night vision goggles, Yang Hui believed that under the same conditions, his hit rate would be only 50% at most.

Night battles, jungle battles, and small-scale tug-of-war battles are the strengths of scouts.

It is easy to imagine how difficult it would be to chase two scouts with excellent marksmanship in such an environment.

Even with the help of their fellow scouts, it would still be difficult to capture the two without suffering heavy losses.

Even if they are not careful, both of them will be in trouble.

In this environment, the infantry battalion's advantages in frontal combat capability and firepower cannot be brought into play at all. Instead, due to the large number of people, it is more likely to expose its own position.

If we are not careful, a situation similar to the one just now may happen again.

After figuring all this out, the two men decisively changed their strategy. They no longer blindly pursued the enemy, but instead focused on following and tracking them.

Follow the traces left by the opponent, keep a certain distance, and don't give the opponent a chance to launch a sneak attack.

Similar things are not only happening here.

Faced with the relentless pursuit of the police detective company, Li Gang also used the same trick.

In fact, he is more ruthless than Jiang Chen and Tang Junjie.

Not only did he kill the two pursuing enemies, but he also seized their weapons and ammunition.

Zhang Ming was no less capable than the other. As a sniper, once he was kept away from the enemy and had the opportunity to shoot and move, it would be a nightmare for ordinary infantrymen.

Compared to Jiang Chen, Li Gang and other three who were fighting fiercely with the enemy, Hu Kai and Wang Jie had to hurry on their way because they were carrying a wounded man, carefully avoiding possible pursuit and enemies along the way.

Fortunately, with Jiang Chen and others constantly firing to attract attention, the pressure on Wang Jie and the other two was reduced a lot.

Although still facing pursuit, they can still cope with it.

……

After running for a long time and realizing that no one was catching up with them, the two finally stopped to catch their breath.

"We should be able to get rid of them temporarily now." Jiang Chen said.

Tang Junjie still looked serious: "We can't let our guard down. These bastards are like dog-skin plasters. It's not that easy to get rid of them. They will definitely continue to chase us."

Jiang Chen nodded. Although the attack just now was successful, he would not underestimate his opponent.

After a brief rest, the two continued on their journey.

They hardly stopped at all that night. They were either on their way or on their way.

The night is their home ground. Relying on the cover of darkness, the two can barely deal with the enemy's pursuit, but once daybreak comes, the situation will be different.

Once their whereabouts are exposed, relying on their advantages in numbers and firepower, and with the assistance of the soldiers from the police reconnaissance company who are also scouts, it would be too late for them to escape.

Therefore, while it is still dark, they should keep as much distance as possible from the enemy and rely on the cover of the dense jungle to avoid pursuit.

The first ray of sunlight in the early morning broke through the darkness, the morning sun gradually rose, and Jiang Chen and Tang Junjie also stopped running.

From the time we got off the plane yesterday morning until now, we took turns to rest for a while before preparing for action.

The water and food they had on them had long been consumed, and after a whole night of continuous fighting and running, the two men were already starving.

Jiang Chen's stomach made a rumbling sound.

"We've been running for so long, we're hungry and thirsty, we need to find something to eat and drink first." Jiang Chen suggested.

Tang Junjie nodded: "Well, I need to replenish it. Be careful and see if there is any water source and food nearby."

The two first took out the map to confirm the location, and then began to search around.

Fortunately, the information on the map was not wrong, and there was a stream nearby.

There was no time for them to slowly filter and purify the water, so after simply treating it with the water purification tablets they carried with them, they began to drink it in big gulps.

The cool stream water flowed through his throat and into his stomach, and Jiang Chen immediately felt his strength restored.

Fill the water bottle and continue looking for edible food.

Fortunately, before setting off, Jiang Chen had memorized the survival manual from beginning to end, including the pictures and words. With the presence of the veteran scout Tang Junjie, it was not too difficult for them to find food.
