My Military Career in a Parallel World

Jiang Chen and Hu Kai, carrying backpacks full of "trophies", quickly rushed to the gathering point.

They were not clear about the situation along the way when they came, and it took them almost an hour to find the location of the village. When they went back, they were much faster, and it only took them less than ten minutes to vaguely see the location of the meeting point.

The two of them kept walking, and Jiang Chen said, "Brother Kai, we have collected a lot of information this time, but I always feel that there are still some key points that we haven't figured out."

Hu Kai nodded slightly: "Yeah, I feel the same way, but it's already very good to have these gains. When I go back and sort them out, maybe I can find new clues."

As they were talking, they had already arrived near the assembly point. From afar, they saw the company commander and three platoon leaders sitting on a big rock, chatting about something.

"Report, First Platoon, Third Squad, Hu Kai!"

"Jiang Chen!"

"Request to return to the team!" the two shouted in unison.

The company commander looked at the two of them and nodded slightly: "Well, go back to the team first, and we'll talk about it after everyone comes back!"

"Yes!"

The two quickly returned to the team.

I thought they came back late enough, but when I arrived I found that at least 50 percent of the company had not returned yet.

Apart from the two of them, Zhang Ming was the only one seen in Class 3.

At this time, Zhang Ming was lying on a rock with his head down, busy with something. When they approached, they saw an A4-sized topographic map with extremely detailed descriptions.

The center of the map is the location of the Second Battalion’s camp, and except for the upper left area, there are large areas of blank space around it.

Hu Kai opened his backpack, took out the simple map he had drawn and handed it over.

"Lao Zhang, give me the topographic map of the location where Jiang Chen went."

Zhang Ming nodded lightly, took the map and continued to work.

"Brother Kai, I'm going to the bathroom. We'll compare intelligence when I come back." Jiang Chen glanced at the watch on his wrist.

The squad leader and the others are almost back, so we have to hurry and go to the dream space to organize the information.

"Okay, go quickly and come back soon." Hu Kai agreed without thinking too much.

After walking into the woods and looking around to make sure there was no one around, Jiang Chen found a patch of tall grass and sat down cross-legged, his consciousness sinking into a dream.

In the dream space, Jiang Chen returned to the gate of the infantry battalion camp, and every detail was clearly presented before his eyes.

Carefully observing the surrounding environment, Jiang Chen soon found a place he had not noticed before.

In a forest near the camp, about sixty meters away from where the two men set up their stall, there was a hidden sentry.

Jiang Chen silently memorized the location of the secret sentry and dragged the progress bar forward.

Soldiers kept coming to buy things during breaks in training. He listened carefully to their conversations and collected all the information that could be used for himself.

Finally, Jiang Chen went to the camp again and carefully observed the remaining wheel tracks on the ground.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen had been in the reconnaissance company for too short a time. Among these wheel tracks, he could only recognize those of military trucks, and the other tracks were not very clear.

After observing for a while, Jiang Chen felt that the time was about up. When he was about to leave, he suddenly discovered a detail that he had not noticed before.

Where did these cars come from, and why were there no traces of these vehicles found on their way here?

Just do it if you want to. Jiang Chen dragged the progress bar and came to the mountain road he took when he went up the mountain.

This is a gravel road, and the end of the road connects to the highway below. On the way here, Hu Kai told him that this is the only main road in this mountain that can be used for traffic, and there are only some small roads in other places.

So, those tire tracks in the camp were definitely made along this road, but why are there no tracks left here?

Jiang Chen leaned over, picked up a stone and played with it unconsciously in his hand. He stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at the camp above, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Whether it is a tank or an armored vehicle, it is not something that can easily hide its tracks.

Especially on dirt roads like this in the mountains, it is impossible not to leave traces once you walk on them.

So, what went wrong?

Jiang Chen threw away the stone in his hand and walked up the mountain while carefully observing the stone road in front of him.

"Hey, what is this?" While walking, Jiang Chen suddenly noticed a strange-shaped object under his feet.

Bending down and taking a look, Jiang Chen shook it with some disappointment. It was just a piece of stone with a strange shape.

Just as he was about to stand up, an idea flashed in his mind, and Jiang Chen suddenly turned his head again to look at the stone on the ground.

To be precise, it should be the fine powder remaining next to the stone.

He gently picked up a handful of powder and rubbed it between his fingertips, a gleam of light flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

He seemed to know what the problem was!

Looking back, Jiang Chen always felt a little weird about this ordinary gravel road.

This road is too smooth, and the stones on the road are a little too new...

Recalling the information Hu Kai had previously learned from the villagers.

This gravel road was built by nearby villagers themselves before the construction of highways, and it was their only way to the outside world.

It was not until a few years ago that the 228th Regiment was stationed here. For the purpose of transportation and the passage of various special vehicles, as well as for the convenience of the surrounding villagers, the following road was built.

After that, this gravel road was basically abandoned.

Apart from villagers going into the mountains to pick mountain products or going to nearby mountain villages, they only take a walk occasionally.

It has not been repaired for such a long time that it should have been dilapidated and in a mess.

Now, although this road looks a bit shabby and even has weeds growing on it, it is far from being completely abandoned.

He hadn't paid attention to this aspect before, but looking back now, Jiang Chen immediately discovered the problem.

Jiang Chen lowered his head and kicked away the gravel road under his feet. He suddenly discovered that in addition to the layer of gravel on the surface, there was another layer of stones that were deeply embedded in the soil. Moreover, it was very obvious that there were traces of crushing on the stones. Many stones were crushed by gravity, and this phenomenon was mostly concentrated in the center of the road...

In order to avoid attracting attention, the people from the Second Battalion deliberately mixed the old stones on the ground with the new stones they brought when cleaning up the traces.

No wonder they didn't find out before...

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen instantly realized what was going on.

Although he still had many questions in his heart, time did not allow him to continue thinking.

Putting these questions aside for the time being, Jiang Chen returned to the camp, recorded several different tire tracks on the ground, and exited the dream space with his consciousness.

Return to the meeting point.

Zhang Ming was still busy working on the map. Li Gang had already rushed back with the others and were sitting together exchanging information.

Jiang Chen walked over quickly.

"You and Hu Kai are the only ones left, so hurry up." Li Gang looked up and then continued to work with his head down.

"Yeah." Jiang Chen nodded slightly, and found Hu Kai who was recording information, and the two began to communicate in a low voice.

The two had already exchanged most of the information on the way back.

There are only a few details left to be added.

"By the way, Brother Kai, do you still remember the tire tracks we found at the entrance of the camp?" Jiang Chen said in a low voice.

"Yeah." Hu Kai stopped writing, nodded slightly and said, "I was just thinking about this. I feel that there is a big problem here, and it may be the final winner!"

Jiang Chen didn't waste any words. He took out a notebook and a pen and drew the wheel tracks he had written down before. In order not to be noticed, he didn't dare to draw it too clearly. Only the shape could be vaguely seen.

"Brother Kai, can you tell what kind of cars these are?"

Looking at what Jiang Chen had drawn on the paper, Hu Kai couldn't help but frown: "From such a distance, can you see the wheel tracks on the ground clearly?"

"I can only take a rough look at it. I'm not sure if it's correct." Jiang Chen said vaguely.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen had mentioned this when they were exchanging information before, so Hu Kai didn't think much about it. He looked at the lines that seemed to be drawn randomly on the paper and carefully identified them.

"This one looks a bit like a 09 infantry fighting vehicle, this one should be a truck, and I can't recognize the others." Hu Kai is indeed an old scout, and he managed to make out something from a bunch of messy lines.

"Also, Brother Kai, have you discovered..." Jiang Chen told Hu Kai about his previous discovery in the dream space. The more Hu Kai listened, the more he frowned.

In fact, he had thought about similar things before, but he didn't say it out loud due to the lack of crucial evidence. Now that Jiang Chen took the initiative to bring it up, Hu Kai couldn't help but recall his previous experience.

"It's indeed a bit strange. Besides, why would those guys from the Second Battalion do this?" Hu Kai said, stroking his chin.

Jiang Chen spread his hands. This was also something he couldn't understand.

According to common sense, there is no need to go through so much trouble on one's own territory, marching at night, eliminating traces, and even not letting go of big guys like armored vehicles.

So, what exactly are the people in the Second Battalion trying to do...

However, after this incident, the two reached a consensus on the existence of heavy weapons such as armored vehicles in the camp.

Although we don’t know exactly how many big vehicles are hidden in the camp, they definitely exist.

Time was running out and there was no time for them to chat slowly, so the collected information was given to Li Gang to organize, and others helped to supplement it. After a while of busy work, all the information was finally organized.

"Look, is there anything else that needs to be added? The time is almost up." Li Gang said, rubbing his eyebrows.

Although it was just a simple summary and organization, it took him a lot of time. Sorting out information is not an easy task, not to mention the time is so tight. Being able to achieve this step is already very good.

First is the detailed topographic map drawn by Zhang Ming.

It contains the precise location coordinates of the enemy camp, as well as the relevant terrain map.

The second is a general intelligence information.

Based on observations, we estimate that the enemy number is about 320 people in a battalion. The enemy is composed of infantry and carries heavy firepower weapons such as machine guns, rocket launchers, and mortars.

Note: Our reconnaissance personnel once found remnants of suspected 09 infantry vehicles and military trucks in the enemy camp, and suspected that the enemy was equipped with heavy equipment such as recoilless guns.

A total of 17 secret sentries, 5 patrol teams (each patrol team consisted of 10 people), and 25 normal sentries were found near the enemy camp.

Note: The specific locations of the sentry post and the seventeen secret sentries and the approximate patrol route of the patrol team are all marked on the map.

Four sentry towers, two communication antennas, and a wired telephone were found around the camp...

After the intelligence was sorted and summarized by Li Gang and Wang Jie, all the information was clear at a glance, very concise and clear.

Moreover, this information has been repeatedly verified and has a reliability of over 80 percent.

Intelligence from different channels can verify each other, improving the accuracy of intelligence.

In addition, Li Gang had previously reminded that in the process of collecting intelligence, the source, time, location, and content of each piece of intelligence must be recorded in detail.

Although these seem troublesome, they actually greatly improve the reliability of intelligence.

When Li Gang and Wang Jie were organizing and summarizing the information, Jiang Chen did not miss such a good opportunity to observe and learn.

Regarding how to organize and summarize intelligence information, there are also records in the books distributed previously.

However, Jiang Chen was always a little confused just by reading what was written in the book. Now that he saw Li Gang practicing it with his own eyes, many things suddenly became clear to him.

Classification and organization means to separate intelligence into different types and levels of importance, just like what Li had just done, dividing the intelligence collected by everyone into three levels: high, medium, and low according to their urgency.

Among them, the information provided by Jiang Chen and Hu Kai about the suspected appearance of 09 infantry fighting vehicles was set to the highest level.

After categorizing, the next step is to remove duplicate information.

The higher the information repetition, the higher the accuracy of the intelligence.

In fact, there is one last step to establish a database to facilitate subsequent quick retrieval and query.

However, the time given by the company commander was really limited, so this step had to be temporarily omitted.

Including subsequent comprehensive comparative analysis, hypothesis verification, risk assessment and other stages, all of which were simplified and omitted as much as possible due to time constraints.

……

At twelve o'clock, all the people in the third company had gathered, and several platoon leaders collected the intelligence collected by their classes and handed it over to the company commander.

Ge Hongtao did not immediately look through the intelligence information they handed over. Instead, he took out a piece of paper that he had prepared long ago, waved it in front of everyone and said, "This piece of paper contains all the intelligence information about the enemy camp."

"Li Cheng!"

"To!"

Platoon leader Li Cheng walked out of the queue holding a folder.

"Distribute all the information to them. Each class should compare the information they have collected to see if it is accurate and if there are any omissions."

Listening to the company commander's words, Jiang Chen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

really……

His previous guess was correct. Ge Hongtao must have communicated with the leaders of the Second Battalion long ago, otherwise where did he get this information?

Similarly, the doubts that had been puzzling me before were also explained.

If he guessed correctly, he and his men were conducting intelligence reconnaissance training, while the Second Battalion was conducting anti-infiltration training.

That's why they were so vigilant and took the trouble to clean up all traces along the way carefully.

Jiang Chen was just thinking about it when Ge Hongtao's next words announced the answer.

"On your way back, I received a message from the Second Battalion. A total of 46 of you exposed your positions while scouting for intelligence..."

Ge Hongtao's eyes became fierce, staring at the scouts and shouted: "Forty-six people! Almost half a company!!!

Are all your usual reconnaissance trainings just bullshit? ! ! ! "
