My Military Career in a Parallel World

Jiang Chen and Tang Junjie took a short rest in the cave, ate the last bit of compressed dry food to replenish their strength, and counted the supplies they had on them.

As for ammunition, each person had three magazines left, six grenades, one smoke bomb, two flash grenades, one Type 95 automatic rifle and five magazines, two Type 92 pistols and two additional magazines.

The Type 5.8 bullet is an independent standard mm. Although Jiang Chen had seen Type many times on TV or mobile phones in his previous life, this was the first time he used it in reality.

Even if there is no problem with the tuning of a gun, it still takes time to get used to it.

In particular, the Type 95 and Type 81 are the products of two completely different design ideas.

One adopts a supportless structure, and the other is a traditional support structure.

The weight, caliber, recoil, ergonomics, etc. are all different.

Although with Jiang Chen's current marksmanship, as long as there is no problem with the weapon itself, other aspects are trivial matters, but there will still be a little impact.

On the other hand, Tang Junjie had at least played with the Type 95 automatic rifle a few times.

So, the two of them discussed it briefly and made a decision. Tang Junjie gave all the remaining ammunition to Jiang Chen, and he took the Type 95 automatic rifle.

Each person had three grenades. Jiang Chen didn't want the smoke bomb. Each person had one flash grenade, and the same went for the pistols.

Although the role of pistols on the front battlefield has been weakened to the extreme, sometimes it is more economical to carry two more rifle magazines than a pistol. This is why most soldiers are not equipped with pistols now.

In an ordinary company, except for officers, other soldiers rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with a pistol.

However, the Scout is an exception.

Because of the differences in combat methods and environments, they did not give up on pistols, a close-range self-defense weapon.

Previously in the reconnaissance company, Jiang Chen practiced pistols with Li Gang and others a lot.

After redistributing the weapons and ammunition, Jiang Chen turned off the flashlight and let the darkness cover the two of them.

Any resource in the wild is extremely precious. They can find ways to replenish food and water, but the electricity is a little less every time it is used.

There are still nearly thirty hours until the end of the exercise. We don’t know what will happen in the middle, so we should save as much as possible.

"Brother Tang, what should we do next? We can't just hide like this until the end of the exercise." Although the facial expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness, it was still not difficult to hear the unconcealable fatigue in the voice.

Tang Junjie thought for a moment and said, "Let's see what the situation is. If we go out now, we will die."

Jiang Chen was silent. As the exercise progressed, the space they had to move around in was getting smaller and smaller.

Although it wouldn't be exposed immediately if I told anyone, it was basically impossible to move freely like I did in the previous two days.

After several consecutive battles, the police detective company has roughly locked down their location.

As long as the two of them leave the cave, it won’t take long for the police detective company to catch up with them.

Time passed by minute by minute. The cave was very quiet, so quiet that it was scary. Jiang Chen could even hear his own heartbeat.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Chen was the first to break the silence: "Maybe we can try to go back!"

Tang Junjie was stunned: "Go back?"

"Well, go back!"

Tang Junjie didn't say anything. He was thinking about the possibility of this matter.

The flashlight was turned on, and a beam of light dispelled the darkness in the cave and shot into the distance.

"That's a solution, but..."

Although Tang Junjie didn't say the rest of the words, Jiang Chen understood what he meant.

He did not forget why the two of them were forced to enter this cave.

Although two or three days have passed, who can guarantee that the enemy has left?

If they were ambushed as soon as they stepped out, the possibility of escaping again would be almost zero in that environment.

This is a very risky move.

Jiang Chen wasn't too worried about his identity being exposed.

Area 029 is more than ten kilometers away from Area 037. If this cave had not been discovered accidentally, it would have been almost impossible to cross such a long distance in a short time.

Although they had done a lot of things in Area 029, the people from the Second Reconnaissance Company were also active, wearing exactly the same clothes and equipment, with camouflage painted on their faces. Unless they were familiar with each other, no one would guess that the two of them were from the Third Company.

When they first encountered the people from the Second Company, the other side almost mistook them for disguised soldiers from the Police Detective Company.

Even if they got the secret signal, the other party would not act with them.

However, they parted ways after briefly exchanging information.

This is because Tang Junjie has stayed in the reconnaissance camp long enough. Although the two parties do not know each other, they still have some impressions of each other.

Even so, the other party did not dare to act with them.

After all, this was an exercise, and there were some veterans from the reconnaissance battalion in the police detective company. What if he recognized the wrong person?

If this is the case with our own people, what about our opponents?

Therefore, the two were not worried about their whereabouts being exposed.

The opponents did not continue to pursue them even though they knew that they had hidden in the cave.

Then there is only one possibility left, that they want to sit back and wait.

This is also the reason why the two of them have never thought about going back.

It has been almost three days since they entered the cave. Even if there is an ambush outside, the number of people should not be too large.

After all, it's impossible for more than a dozen soldiers to be waiting outside just for the two of them.

Although the enemy has superior military strength, they also have a larger area to defend.

"It's not a good idea to be avoided all the time. Instead of waiting for death, we might as well take a chance. Anyway, there is only one day left for the exercise!"

Listening to Jiang Chen's words, although Tang Junjie was a little hesitant, he finally nodded: "Well, let's give it a try, but we still have to plan carefully."

The two men had no radio and could not find out the status of the mission.

Fortunately, when Jiang Chen met the people from the second company before, they happened to be carrying radios, and the two sides exchanged information. Jiang Chen used the troop deployment map he had intercepted before to exchange for the current mission progress of the reconnaissance battalion.

Complete a total of four mission objectives in one go.

The second company only completed three.

The three companies have the largest number of tasks, and only one task point is needed to meet the ten minimum task requirements.

Although the outcome of this exercise was determined by the reconnaissance battalion as a whole, it would be of no use for one company to complete the mission, but it was better than nothing.

At the very least, when they meet the police detectives after the exercise, they can straighten their backs, pat their chests and say, "I didn't lose!"

Jiang Chen believed that everyone else in the third company had the same idea as he did.

They are also planning a final counterattack.

In this exercise, the failure of the reconnaissance battalion was inevitable, but that didn't mean they were willing to give up.

I still say that, even if I die, I have to bite off a few pieces of meat before I die!

Not only them, the remaining soldiers of the first and second companies must be planning similar things.

They would have to die on the way to charge. Living in vain is not the style of their reconnaissance battalion!

If anyone really dares to do this, when he returns, not only the battalion commander but also the company commander will not let him go.

When two brave men meet in a narrow road, the brave one wins. This is something engraved in the bones of all the soldiers of the 228th Regiment.

"Let's sneak over first and observe the situation outside..." The two discussed their next action plan.

After making the decision, Jiang Chen and Tang Junjie no longer hesitated, packed up their equipment and set off immediately.

Taking off their shoes and stepping into the freezing cold groundwater, the two began their return journey.

As they approached the cave exit, the two of them turned off their flashlights in tacit understanding. Their movements became extremely gentle, and they took every step carefully, trying not to make any noise as much as possible.

At the corner, there were only a few meters left to the cave entrance. The two men stopped, took off the extra equipment on their bodies and went into battle lightly. Tang Junjie took out the individual night vision goggles that he had seized before.

After making all preparations, the two men slowly approached the cave entrance with pistols in hand.

The distance was too close, so rifles were useless. Even if they spotted the enemy, they couldn't shoot. But it was different with pistols.

Although they are all blank bullets, pistols have small kinetic energy and are almost dangerous as long as they are not face-to-face, so pistols can be fired at close range.

Although Jiang Chen and Tang Junjie both have good fighting skills, they are confident that they can defeat them even if they encounter soldiers from the police reconnaissance company who are also scouts.

However, that is when firearms cannot be used. Who would still want to fight if they have guns?

The gun is fast from seven steps away, and the gun is fast and accurate within seven steps.

……

It was nearly ten o'clock in the evening and the sky had darkened. The cave was pitch black, and it was almost pitch dark. You couldn't see your hand in front of you, but it was almost pitch black.

However, darkness is not a problem for them who have individual night vision goggles.

Tang Junjie crouched down, followed the edge of the wall and slowly felt his way to the cave entrance, using the night vision goggles to carefully observe the situation outside the cave.

After confirming that there was no danger, the two men bent down and walked out of the cave.

Just after taking a step, the expression on Tang Junjie's face suddenly changed: "Be careful."

Jiang Chen, whose nerves had been tense, stopped moving immediately.

He didn't have night vision goggles and couldn't see the specific situation clearly, but Jiang Chen believed in Tang Junjie's judgment.

Tang Junjie bent down, took off the tactical gloves on his hands, stretched out his hand gently and slowly, and a thin wire that was invisible to the naked eye in the dark was pinched between his fingertips.

Following the thin wire, Tang Junjie squatted down and took out a grenade from the crack in the rock wall next to him.

"Stand still where you are. I'll check the surroundings again."

Jiang Chen nodded without saying anything, but he was glad in his heart that he had seized the night vision device, otherwise, the two of them might not even be able to get out of the cave.

These people in the police detective company are too insidious.

The light in the cave is already weak, let alone at night. Without this night vision device, no matter how skilled you are, it would be useless as you would not be able to find the booby traps they have buried.

Tang Junjie carefully checked the cave and confirmed that there was no danger. Then he lowered his voice and said, "It's OK."

Jiang Chen nodded, followed Tang Junjie, and slowly approached the cave entrance.

The valley was silent and the surrounding woods were filled with a light mist, which looked particularly eerie under the moonlight.

"Be careful, this area may not be that simple." With the help of the individual night vision goggles, the darkness could not block Tang Junjie's sight at all.

Although no trace of the enemy has been found yet, years of experience tell him that there is definitely something wrong here.

Quiet, too quiet.

How could the woods at night be so quiet?

"Go back and get your equipment, get some rest, and then take action later at night."

"Ah."

The two were not in a hurry to act. After soaking in the water for so long, they needed to take a good rest.

Tang Junjie placed the booby trap he had found in the cave before at the entrance of the cave, and the two returned to the cave to take out all the weapons and equipment.

Leaning against the rock wall, Jiang Chen closed his eyes and looked like he was asleep. Tang Junjie walked to the cave entrance again and used the night vision goggles to observe the situation outside.

In the dream space, Jiang Chen seized the opportunity to search for the enemy's traces.

As early as when he was in the recruit company, Jiang Chen discovered the function of the dream space.

Any scene he has seen with his own eyes can be materialized in his dreams.

Even if he just glanced at it unintentionally, he himself didn't even have any memory, but the dream space would record every detail of the things he ignored.

It was this function that enabled him to be alerted and discover the enemy's traces in advance during the surprise attack drill.

It didn't take long for Jiang Chen to find the trace of the enemy hiding in the dark.

Next to a big tree fifty meters away from the cave entrance, a soldier from the police detective company wearing camouflage clothing and with his entire body covered with a thick layer of dead leaves was lying on the ground, staring at the direction of the cave entrance.

At the end of the valley, within the reach of human eyes, soldiers from two infantry battalions were resting against a big tree.

Footsteps sounded beside his ears, and Jiang Chen exited his dream consciousness and returned to reality. Tang Junjie turned off the night vision goggles and walked over to sit beside him.

"Brother Tang, these guys in the Detective Company are really cunning. We have to be extra careful."

"Well, let's conserve our energy first, so we can fight later."

As the night deepened, the fog in the woods grew thicker.

Looking at the individual night vision device on Tang Junjie's helmet and thinking of his previous discovery in the dream, Jiang Chen pretended to be eager to try and whispered: "Brother Tang, can you let me try the night vision device? I haven't used this thing yet."

Tang Junjie smiled slightly: "Haha, this thing was originally seized by you, why can't you use it?"

As he spoke, he took off the individual night vision goggles on his head and handed them to Jiang Chen, and told him how to operate it specifically.

The operation of individual night vision goggles is very simple.

First install and fix the night vision goggles on the helmet, and turn on the power switch when you need to use them.

Tang Junjie also taught Jiang Chen how to adjust the brightness of the night vision goggles according to the lighting conditions of the surrounding environment.

"This is the focus knob. By rotating this button, you can adjust the focus. When you need to observe distant objects..."

After briefly explaining how to use the night vision goggles, Tang Junjie also reminded them, "This thing is quite valuable. Be careful when using it. After all, it is not ours. We have to return it after the exercise."

Jiang Chen nodded to show that he understood.

His real purpose was to use the night vision goggles to find a perfect excuse to discover the enemy's secret sentry.

Of course, curiosity is real curiosity. After all, most ordinary people in their previous lives had no chance to come into contact with night vision goggles.
