My Military Career in a Parallel World

Perhaps it was the red note that worked, or perhaps it was some other reason. Hu Kai thought he would have to spend some time talking, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so readily.

When Hu Kai put forward his plan, the middle-aged man nodded and agreed without much hesitation.

"It's a bit early to go at this time. Let's leave after ten o'clock."

Since he had decided to help the two, the middle-aged man did not hide anything and told them all the information he knew.

According to him, those people from the Second Battalion came to this forest and set up camp about a day ago. At that time, they also sent someone to communicate with the village and asked the villagers to try not to go there in the next few days.

By the way, I also bought some vegetables, fruits and other daily necessities in the village.

As the only small shop in several nearby mountain villages, Zhang Zhibin's shop naturally received a lot of attention.

For this purpose, he went to a nearby town overnight yesterday to purchase some goods, especially spiritual food such as tobacco...

Listening to Zhang Zhibin's narration, Hu Kai and Jiang Chen looked at each other and silently wrote down the information.

Looking at the time, there was still some time before ten o'clock, so Hu Kai decided to take this opportunity to go out and chat with the villagers and try to collect more information.

Never underestimate the power of the masses.

In intelligence gathering work, in addition to field reconnaissance and monitoring communications, one of the most important ways to obtain intelligence is to ask local residents.

They don't know how long they have existed on this land, and they are extremely familiar with every tree, blade of grass, mountain and river here.

A group of strangers suddenly broke in. Even though I knew I could trust them 100%, curiosity was something that no one would harbor.

Whether actively or passively, they will subconsciously pay attention to and understand this information.

Especially in a relatively closed small mountain village with few entertainment activities, any bit of fresh information is enough for the villagers to talk about for a whole day.

As an old scout, how could Hu Kai not know this truth?

Before, he planned to find the old man to change clothes and then go to the villagers to find out the situation.

But I just had a better choice, so I put these things aside for the time being.

Now that I am done, I naturally have to act according to the original plan.

Jiang Chen couldn't understand the local dialect, so he had no choice but to stay.

After helping Zhang Zhibin move all the things onto the tricycle, they had nothing to do anyway, so they just started chatting.

Jiang Chen would be lying if he said he was not curious about this middle-aged man who looked just like an ordinary villager but was actually most likely a retired scout.

Similarly, Zhang Zhibin had noticed Jiang Chen a long time ago.

Privates are rare among scouts, and it is almost impossible to carry privates on disguised reconnaissance missions.

There are only two possibilities.

First, there is something wrong with the commander of this team's brain.

Second, the private in front of him is not an ordinary recruit.

Zhang Zhibin, who was once an ace scout of a reconnaissance company and had fought on the battlefield with the monkeys next door, did not believe that the higher-ups would let a mentally ill person serve as commander.

So, it can only be the second possibility.

As a veteran, although Zhang Zhibin has been retired for nearly ten years, the scenes of that period are still deeply engraved in his mind, muscles and bones.

Back then, in addition to family and personal reasons, he chose to stay, partly because he thought the monkey next door might relapse, and if anything happened, he might be able to help if he stayed.

This is indeed the case. After the Battle of Laoshan in 1993, the monkeys next door finally settled down completely.

Whenever there are troops or exercises nearby, Zhang Zhibin will be the first to arrive at the scene on his tricycle.

On the one hand, he could earn some money for his family, and on the other hand, he could get a close look at the army for which he had fought for half his life.

Looking at their new uniforms and equipment, Zhang Zhibin felt inexplicably happy.

Seeing these guys calling me the strong army uncle, and shyly asking me to buy intelligence on the 'enemy'...

Thinking of this, and looking at Jiang Chen in front of him wearing his nephew's clothes, Zhang Zhibin couldn't help but smile.

Both of them wanted to know more about each other, and once they started talking, they couldn't stop.

Jiang Chen talked about some interesting things that happened after he joined the army, and Zhang Zhibin interjected a word or two from time to time.

Especially when talking about reconnaissance, Zhang Zhibin told him a lot of knowledge and tips about intelligence collection and special reconnaissance.

Of course, as soldiers, both Jiang Chen and Zhang Zhibin tacitly did not say much when it came to the confidentiality regulations.

About twenty minutes later, Hu Kai, who had been out collecting intelligence, finally came back.

Looking at the time, Zhang Zhibin did not delay any further. He pushed the tricycle and took the two of them towards the camp in the distant mountains and forests.

……

"We'll get there soon. Be careful not to reveal your identity." Hu Kai warned as he looked at the hill that was getting closer and closer and whose outline could be vaguely seen.

Jiang Chen nodded: "Don't worry, Brother Kai, I've got it all down."

"Still calling you Brother Kai, have you forgotten what I told you just now?"

"Oh yes, third brother, and uncle." Jiang Chen quickly changed the topic.

"now it's right."

The three of them were chatting as they pushed the tricycle up the mountain. When they were about to enter the mountain, Hu Kai glanced at a bush on the mountainside inconspicuously.

"Uncle, how far are we? Are there really soldiers in this valley?" Noticing Hu Kai's little action, Jiang Chen reacted immediately, pretending to be a curious baby and looking into the forest, while also pretending to ask Zhang Zhiqiang next to him.

Take people's money and do things for them.

Since they are all family, Zhang Zhibin’s consistent principle of behavior is first come, first served.

He will help whoever comes to him first.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to spend money here.

Although those people from the infantry battalion also made some consumption yesterday, it is a different matter.

At that time, he was the owner of a convenience store, and now he is a powerful army man, an NPC who can trigger special mission plots.

Although, given Zhang Zhibin's age and experience, he probably doesn't know what NPC means...

It must be said that as a former ace scout, Zhang Zhibin's acting skills may not be comparable to those of powerful veteran actors, but he can definitely crush a group of young actors.

"Ah, uncle, can you really lie to me? Not only can you see real guns, but if you're lucky you can even see tanks!"

At this time, Hu Kai, who was standing next to him, also spoke in half-familiar Mandarin mixed with many local dialects: "How could it be false? They came to our village with guns a few days ago!"

The three men spoke quietly, but the secret sentry halfway up the mountain could definitely hear them clearly.

As the three people hinted intentionally or unintentionally, the sentry on the mountainside's vigilance was also attracted by the things on the powerful army's chariot.

At the same time, the news that some villagers were pushing powerful military vehicles to sell things had also been transmitted to the camp through the walkie-talkie.

When Jiang Chen and Hu Kai started to take action, Li Gang and others were not idle either, they were all collecting intelligence.

Zhang Ming, who had the best results in military topography, was responsible for drawing a topographic map of the surrounding area, marking the locations of mountains, rivers and roads.

Tang Junjie, Han Li, Fang Zheng, Lu Xingwang, and Su Yu were divided into three groups and continued to advance from different directions to further collect specific intelligence on the "enemy" in the camp.
