My Military Career in a Parallel World

At 4:30 in the morning, after the last warning, Jiang Chen and Tang Junjie quickly packed up their equipment and prepared to gather.

They had to reach the target location and meet up before dawn.

There are nearly ten kilometers of mountain roads from here to the scheduled assembly point. At night, the people from the police reconnaissance company and the infantry battalion are still cautious. Except for some key areas, they rarely go deep into the jungle. Even if they do, they will shrink their formation as much as possible and find some places that are easy to defend and not easily attacked to spend the night.

But once it's delayed until dawn, then...

On the other side, the police detective company and the infantry battalion were also taking action. There were only twenty-five hours and thirty minutes left until the end of the exercise, and victory was already a foregone conclusion.

What they have to do now is to reduce their own casualties as much as possible and not give the opponent any chance to counterattack before death.

In fact, as early as the fourth day of the exercise, which was yesterday, the infantry battalion and the police detective company had already begun to slowly reduce their forces.

Thanks to this, many soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion were able to escape from their pursuers and get a chance to catch their breath.

However, the opponent obviously did not give up the encirclement and suppression of the reconnaissance battalion. Instead, taking advantage of their desire to counterattack before death, they set traps and waited for everyone to jump in.

Class 3 barely escaped the disaster thanks to Jiang Chen's cheating, but the others were not so lucky.

Many soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion were located by enemies lurking in the dark as soon as they approached the camp.

When the number of people reaches a certain threshold, even if they do not actively launch an attack, the police detective company will immediately begin to close in.

This is an open conspiracy. As long as you still want to get the mission points, you have to jump in with gritted teeth.

Or just hide in the woods and wait for the exercise to be over.

Anyway, it is basically impossible to wait for the police detective company to take the initiative to encircle and suppress them, and launch an ambush as before.

Even if they were to take action, they would definitely act as a large group and would never be left alone to give the enemy a chance.

For example, in the camp that Jiang Chen and his team saw just now, there was at least a platoon of troops stationed there, and there were soldiers from the police detective company lurking around.

If it was at the beginning of the exercise, they might be able to try to break into the enemy camp and deploy signal transmitters, but now...

Haha, I guess the entire reconnaissance battalion can’t even muster a squad of soldiers right now.

It’s not that they don’t have so many people, but after four days of continuous fighting day and night, the troops had long been dispersed. Anyone with more than five people would be targeted. Only by acting individually and dispersedly could they avoid the enemy’s pursuit in the absence of food supplies.

Everyone was scattered around the jungle, with scouts from the police detective company tracking them from behind. Relying on their advantages in numbers and firepower, they were constantly compressing everyone's living space.

If it were in the past, before the Beidou system appeared, playing like this would be no different from seeking death.

In the 7th Steel Company, the soldiers' individual military qualities are off the charts, and they have to act as a group during the exercise.

Once they disperse, they are not encircling and suppressing the enemy, but are just giving away their lives.

You don't need many, just three or four scouts who are well prepared can easily wipe out a full-strength squad.

This is the same even if there are soldiers from the police reconnaissance company who are also scouts providing support.

It's just a matter of coming a few more times.

But with the help of the Beidou system, the situation will be very different.

Thirty Beidou individual navigation devices represent thirty tactical teams that can go deep into the jungle without losing contact.

This is not the key point. The key point is that they can make adjustments at any time according to the situation on the battlefield.

For example, if three or four teams act together and one team is attacked, the other two teams can immediately get the intelligence and choose to provide support, surround, or even directly block the enemy's retreat based on the battlefield situation.

It is unknown how many soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion withdrew from the exercise because of this.

Usually, as long as they hid in the woods, the enemy would have to hide in the bunker and wait for them to come, unless they risked their lives and plowed through them inch by inch with artillery fire.

But now, with the assistance of the Beidou system and the cooperation of the police reconnaissance company soldiers who are also scouts, an infantry squad can pursue deep into the jungle without any scruples.

As long as the whole group is not wiped out immediately, reinforcements will arrive quickly.

If the enemy chooses to shoot and run, we can immediately adjust our tactics and have several teams cooperate with each other to encircle and trap the enemy.

If you have a good understanding of each other, you don't even need to communicate. You can complete all the above actions just by looking at the map.

This is the crushing of traditional warfare by informatization.

Even Feng Yao, the initiator, did not expect that the tactics he came up with by copying others without much thought would have such a good effect in actual combat.

At the same time, after this battle, Lei Zhenjun also realized the importance of informatization.

If his reconnaissance battalion had the same equipment, even if they were caught off guard by an ambush in the early stages, even if the enemy had superior manpower and firepower, and even if there were less than a hundred people left in the entire battalion, he would still be confident of turning the tables.

Walkie-talkies can only provide short-range communication, while radio stations are too susceptible to interference and have the possibility of being monitored.

How could it be as good as the Beidou system in front of us?

Although he also knew that there was no such thing as absolute security as long as it was communication equipment, he still had to wait until the opponent had the ability to break through it.

While thinking about how to find an opportunity to complain to the regiment commander after the exercise and extort a few Beidou individual navigation devices from Feng Yao, the Grandet, Lei Zhenjun suddenly glanced at several red dots on the map whose movement trajectories were obviously different from those of others and seemed to be gathering.

"These are... people from the third company. They want to attack the mission target point?!" Lei Zhenjun made a quick judgment.

But how did they get in touch?

Using radio?

As soon as this idea came up, Lei Zhenjun himself rejected it.

There is only one radio station in each class that can cover the entire exercise area, and it is impossible for the old fox next to him to be unprepared.

Walkie talkie?

That's even more impossible, that thing can only be used within a range of one or two kilometers.

So, how do they communicate with each other? It can't be like in the movies, through telepathy.

Lei Zhenjun was amused by his own idea.

But he really couldn't think of any other reason.

Not only him, Feng Yao next to him also obviously noticed the abnormal situation in area 037.

I watched five red dots slowly converge from different directions on one side, and four or five red dots also gathered on the other side, and then I saw the blue area in the middle that symbolized the mission target.

Feng Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a moment, Feng Yao suddenly asked, "Can you find out their previous movement trajectory?

It would be best if they had visited the same place recently.”

The technician sitting in front of the computer nodded: "Well, this is easy. All the participants have simple positioning equipment..."

As the technician spoke, he tapped a few times on the keyboard, and the movement trajectories of Jiang Chen and others were marked on the map.

Except for the previous deep cave where the positioning equipment could not transmit signals, other actions could not be hidden from the monitoring of Beidou satellite.

There were more than a dozen red lines distributed around the map. Everything was normal at first, until three o'clock in the morning, when the red dots representing Jiang Chen and Tang Junjie came to this area, and everything changed.

Anyone who approaches this area within a kilometer will immediately change their target after pausing for a moment and move in the same direction.

It seemed as if he had received some guidance.

A chief of staff and a reconnaissance battalion commander looked at the map in front of them and quickly figured out the key.

"Haha, these two guys are quite smart. Not only did they not fall into the trap, but they also came up with some new tricks. Not bad..." Lei Zhenjun rarely showed a smile on his face.

Feng Yao nodded as well after hearing this.

Indeed, it is not difficult to use the walkie-talkie to contact teammates, but the difficult part is to think of it quickly in that situation.

When it comes to walkie-talkies, most people think of them as a communication tool during combat. Once the mission is over, this thing is of no use.

But Jiang Chen turned the walkie-talkie into a "loudspeaker", continuously sending warning information to the surroundings, and the walkie-talkies of other people became radios.

As long as you get close to a certain range, you will receive an immediate warning.

Coupled with Li Gang’s subsequent supplements, this has led to the current situation.

……

After a difficult journey, Jiang Chen and Tang Junjie were only two kilometers away from the scheduled meeting place.

"What are they planning to do? Why do so many people act together at any time?!"

Looking at the team of thirty or forty people below, Jiang Chen was a little confused.

This was not the first time they had encountered something similar along the way.

Not only that, the two had originally prepared themselves mentally to be discovered and chased down along the way. However, apart from occasionally encountering the current situation, they didn't see any reconnaissance teams similar to those that were chasing and looking for them before.

Moreover, the soldiers from the police detective company and the infantry battalion below clearly did not look like they were going to the woods to look for someone. Instead, they looked more like...

set!

Not only Jiang Chen thought of it, but Tang Junjie next to him also thought of it.

Looking at the direction the team was heading, the excitement and anticipation of being able to reunite with their teammates disappeared in an instant.

Instead, there is solemnity.

The other side was clearly concentrating its forces to prevent the reconnaissance battalion from having a chance to counterattack.

But what can they do?

If the team below only has one class, no, even if it has two full classes, the two of them can still find a way to fight.

But there are only thirty or forty people, a fully-staffed force, and they are supported by the police detective company.

The sky was gradually getting brighter and visibility was getting higher, making it easier for them to travel, but it also increased the risk of exposure.

The two men didn't even dare to make the slightest noise, let alone fire a gun, for fear of attracting the attention of the soldiers from the police detective company.

Watching the team leave, Tang Junjie whispered, "Don't think too much, go meet up with the squad leader first."

Jiang Chen nodded, and the two continued on their way towards their destination.

What Li Gang had said on the intercom before was just a general area. He did not tell them the specific location, and there was no way to tell them.

After all, no one was sure at the time whether someone in the camp below had seized their walkie-talkies and happened to tune them to the company channel...

This kind of thing is very common, not to mention the police detective company, Jiang Chen and Tang Junjie have done similar things many times.

Every time we collected spoils of war, we would also take away the walkie-talkies from the enemies.

This is called trying two tries even if there is a date or not. What if you hear some important information?

Of course, as long as the other party is not stupid, they will change the communication channel as soon as possible to avoid intelligence leakage.

Oh, let me add something here.

Although Jiang Chen and his class's official communication channel is 1313, they actually use random channels when they act.

There is no possibility of leakage.

As for the company channel 1300, it is just a decoration most of the time.

Unless the team loses contact, like the current situation, everyone cannot get in touch with each other even if they meet, and they don’t even know that there are teammates nearby.

This is when the importance of a group channel becomes apparent.

Let’s get back to the topic.

Although they didn't know the exact meeting place, they were not too worried.

Scouts all have some tips for communicating with each other.

The simplest way is to use objects that can be found everywhere, such as stones and branches, to arrange specific symbols or patterns to convey the message you want to express.

Leave some previously agreed-upon unique items at key locations, such as bandages, pebbles of specific shapes, branches, etc.

When the two parties are close to each other, they can use sound to convey information.

For example, birds chirping.

What does three consecutive bird calls mean? What is the meaning of two long and one short? And so on.

Just like the previous secret code, each company and platoon had an agreement between them long before setting off.

After walking for about another twenty minutes, a small river about five or six meters wide came into view.

Jiang Chen took out the map to confirm the location.

"That's right right here."

Tang Junjie nodded: "I'll find the mark, you'll be on guard."

"Yeah." Jiang Chen responded.

Although, it was impossible for the other party to know their meeting place, the two of them were still not careless.

What is the tacit understanding between teammates?

This is not just reflected in combat...

Just like now, if it were Jiang Chen, even if he knew what the mark looked like, it would still take some effort to find it, and he might even have to risk going closer to the river.

And replaced by Tang Junjie.

Jiang Chen only saw him scan the area with the telescope a few times, and the whole process took less than two minutes.

"Let's go. The squad leader is waiting for us in the woods ahead." Looking at Jiang Chen who was still alert, Tang Junjie put away the telescope, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Ah? Is this... finished?" Jiang Chen was stunned.

"It's done!"

Jiang Chen looked around in confusion. Why didn't he see anything?

"Don't look for it anymore. It's on a big tree at eight o'clock, twenty meters away from the river."

"On the tree?" Jiang Chen looked in the direction of the voice and stared at the big tree that Tang Junjie mentioned for a long time, but he couldn't find where the so-called mark was.

"Haha, you won't find it if you look like this..."

Tang Junjie smiled and explained: "Look at the third branch on the right from the bottom of the tree, and pay attention to its shape.

By the way, remember to use a telescope, as the naked eye’s field of view is too wide and it’s easy to overlook it.”

Tang Junjie reminded.

Jiang Chen did as he was told, raised the telescope to his eyes, and looked again at the location Tang Junjie mentioned.

A few bent branches and leaves that have been deliberately tampered with vaguely form two very simple symbols.

'丨' represents distance.

'一' represents direction.

That adds up to one hundred meters forward.

The simpler and more common the code is, the less likely it is to be discovered.

Of course, these codes also have special anti-counterfeiting marks. Even if you want to use the codes to make something of yourself, it will be useless if you don’t know the key.
