My Military Career in a Parallel World

Passing through a dense forest, the fallen leaves under my feet made a slight rustling sound. The morning sun dispelled the remaining mist in the mountains, and a small mountain village was looming in the distance halfway up the mountain.

"Brother Kai, there!" Jiang Chen pointed at the villagers who were busy working in the fields at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

"Don't be impatient, just observe for a while." Hu Kai whispered.

"Ah."

Since the people from the Second Battalion chose to camp here, it is natural that they could not be unaware of the existence of this small mountain village.

Moreover, when arranging the mission, the company commander did not tell them what the consequences would be if they failed to perform the mission and were discovered or captured.

However, even if one were to use his heels to predict, if someone were to be captured alive, the consequences would be extremely, extremely, extremely tragic!!!

So, just in case, it is better to be cautious.

After observing for a while and confirming that there were no problems, Jiang Chen and Hu Kai started the next step.

First of all, of course, you have to tidy up your appearance.

Unless there are special circumstances and conditions permit, every soldier has the obligation and responsibility to maintain the glorious image of the army.

After a night of walking in the woods, although his clothes were not in rags, his appearance was not much better.

On the way here, the two found a stream and went over to wash and freshen up.

He took out a tissue from his backpack and first wiped off the camouflage that he had used during the reconnaissance on his face. He then tore off some bandages to use as a towel, wet it and wiped his face with it. He also cleaned off the grass and dirt on his clothes and put the extra weapons and equipment on his body into his backpack.

After a complete makeover, the two walked along the road in neat steps towards the mountain village.

No matter when or where, as long as you are in the flower-growing country and as long as you are wearing this military uniform, people will always let down their guard and look at you with trust.

There are troops stationed in the mountains. Whenever the busy farming season comes and there is no urgent task, they will help the villagers do some work within their ability.

Therefore, the villagers here are no strangers to soldiers.

At the beginning, there was a hint of vigilance in the eyes of several villagers who were busy working in the fields. Although it was peaceful these days, it was not completely peaceful. Until the two men approached and they saw the military uniforms on them and the rifles in their hands, the vigilance in the villagers' eyes disappeared and was replaced by smiles.

An old man who was probably in his fifties or sixties, wearing a straw hat, walked out of the field and approached the two men.

The old man's Mandarin was not very standard, and was mixed with a lot of local accents. Jiang Chen could hardly understand some of it, but he could vaguely make out a few words like "comrade" and "welcome".

In fact, the old man's Mandarin is very good.

From what he just said, Jiang Chen guessed that the old man should be a village cadre or something like that. Ordinary villagers rarely say words like "comrade" and "welcome".

Of course, if it were an ordinary villager, Jiang Chen probably wouldn’t even be able to hear these words.

Like the mountain village he visited when he was in the recruit company, except for the old man who had fled here to escape famine in his early years and later joined the militia, so his accent was not that heavy, Jiang Chen could only make out one or two words from the other villagers by guessing.

After arriving at the reconnaissance company, in addition to a compulsory English and an elective foreign language, they also had to learn the local dialect.

However, Jiang Chen had been here for too short a time, and from his own experience, the dialect, especially the southern dialect, was not much simpler than the frustrating English.

However, since Li Gang asked Hu Kai to bring him here, he had naturally considered these issues a long time ago.

Because Hu Kai often needs to perform tasks such as disguise, his spoken English is the best among everyone in Class 3.

Not only the dialect, Hu Kai also speaks Vietnamese fluently.

After listening to the two people chattering for a while, the old man nodded and led them into the village.

"Brother Kai, what did you say to this old man just now?" Jiang Chen asked in a low voice.

Hu Kai smiled and explained, "Nothing. We just said we are a troop that came here to participate in the exercise and wanted to buy some clothes from the villagers."

"Ah? Is it really okay to do this?"

"It's okay. Our regiment conducts several exercises every year. Apart from the large-scale exercises that are fixed every year, there are exercises between battalions, companies, and even within our own company. We will have one every once in a while.

The villagers around here have long been accustomed to it.”

Hu Kai patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder, signaling him to be at ease.

"All right……"

When they arrived at the village, Hu Kai was talking to the old man about something, and Jiang Chen couldn't understand what they were saying, so he could only look around curiously.

To be honest, on the surface, it doesn't look much different from the small mountain village over there. Occasionally you can see a few brick houses, which should belong to the better-off families in the village.

As he was looking, Jiang Chen suddenly noticed that there was a small hole in the outer wall of the third brick house at the entrance of the village, and the word "shop" was written crookedly in black paint on the wall next to it.

When passing by the gate of the courtyard, Jiang Chen saw a tricycle parked in the yard. A man in his forties or fifties wearing camouflage clothes was loading things onto the tricycle.

At first, Jiang Chen didn't care much, but when his eyes swept over the word "shop" on the wall again, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

Could this be the legendary first generation of the powerful military vehicle? !

During the previous field survival training, Jiang Chen heard the veterans in the class talk about the powerful army tanks. Unfortunately, the subsequent training was temporarily changed to a confrontation exercise, and the exercise location was changed. Jiang Chen was unable to see the legendary powerful army tanks.

"Brother Kai!" Jiang Chen called softly.

"What's wrong?" Hu Kai turned his head.

Jiang Chen raised his chin and gestured to the side. Hu Kai looked in the direction and first saw the word "shop". The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, thinking that Jiang Chen wanted to buy something.

It was not until he saw the man loading things onto a tricycle in the yard that Hu Kai reacted instantly and understood what Jiang Chen meant.

"You're worthy of being a college student. You're really smart. Wait!" Hu Kai gave him a thumbs up, then turned around and started chatting with the old man next to him.

About a minute later, Hu Kai and the old man seemed to have reached an agreement.

Hu Kai turned around and hooked his finger, motioning Jiang Chen to follow, and the group walked into the small courtyard they had just been to.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, the old man spoke in dialect again. Jiang Chen couldn't understand anything, so he just pretended he knew nothing and stood next to Hu Kai with a gun in hand like a guard.

Another three or four minutes passed, and Hu Kai, the old man, and the middle-aged man in the yard said something to each other, and the old man turned and left.

Only Jiang Chen and Hu Kai stayed.

After the old man walked away, the middle-aged man who had just spoken in an authentic dialect suddenly spoke in very, very standard Mandarin.

"Are you two planning to conduct a disguised reconnaissance?"

……

PS: After the update time was changed to early morning, it was really painful to lose full attendance by nineteen seconds.

Also, Uncle Liu, please stop being so busy. You must take a day off to relax and make up for Xiaobei's mood that is on the verge of collapse.

So, today there are only two thousand words, brackets (this month's leave application), brackets are closed.
