My Military Career in a Parallel World

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and slowly said, "Squad leader, my idea is very simple. As the old saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. I plan to sneak into the vicinity of the enemy camp and lie in wait."

Jiang Chen did not tell all his plans to Li Gang, not because he did not trust him, but because he was afraid that if the squad leader did not agree with his plan after hearing it...

His plan was not just to lurk near the camp as he just said, but to hide directly in the opposite camp!

This plan is very bold. Getting near the camp and getting inside the camp are two completely different concepts.

Especially since they had to sneak in quietly without alerting anyone, how difficult it was...

Not to mention that he is a new recruit, even if it were Hu Kai or even Li Gang, these experienced scouts who are proficient in disguise reconnaissance and camouflage and lurking, it would be extremely difficult to do it. Not to say that it is completely possible, but the probability of success is extremely low.

The key is that once exposed, there is no chance to escape. You will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame and laughed at by all the veterans in the company, including the people in the second battalion. Even if the matter spreads...

The risks and benefits are totally disproportionate, and even if you sneak in, there is no guarantee that you will be 100% safe.

After all, no one is stupid.

Li Gang was obviously also aware of this. He frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know how risky it is to do this?"

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "I know, but I think it's worth a try!

If it succeeds..."

Jiang Chen didn't continue speaking, but Li Gang already understood what he meant.

As for the fact that the company commander was planning to let Jiang Chen be the squad leader ahead of schedule, now was not the time to reveal it.

"Even if I don't succeed, I can still learn a lot from it, and..." Jiang Chen smiled and continued, "Squad leader, I'm just a private. It's no big deal if I fail. At most, people will say I overestimate my abilities."

Li Gang was silent for a moment, then said: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I won't stop you."

"Hu Kai!" Li Gang turned his head and looked at Hu Kai.

"To!"

"Haven't you been to the vicinity of the camp with Jiang Chen before? This kid's ability to identify secret sentries is still a little lacking. Leave Lu Xingwang to me, and you go over to lend a hand. Don't let him get caught before you even reach the camp gate. Our reconnaissance company can't afford to lose this guy."

"Yes, squad leader!" After saying that, he looked at Jiang Chen and grinned, "Little Jiangzi, I've helped you so much, is it too much to go back and buy a pack of Huazi for your brother?"

Jiang Chen also smiled when he heard this: "No problem, Brother Kai!"

"Okay, everyone else, get busy and start taking action. If it's any later, all the good spots will be taken!"

……

The two men quickly packed their equipment and, taking advantage of the cover of the forest, moved toward the enemy camp.

Although they had obtained intelligence on the opponent's post deployment and other information before, so much time has passed that as long as the people in the Second Battalion are not stupid, they will definitely make adjustments.

This is also the reason why Li Gang asked Hu Kai to come and help.

How to identify the enemy's hidden sentries in the vast mountains and forests? Unless Jiang Chen uses the dream space to cheat, ten of him cannot compare to Hu Kai alone.

Along the way, they carefully avoided possible sentries and patrols. Relying on his rich experience, Hu Kai constantly pointed out places where danger might occur to Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen concentrated on observing the surrounding environment and silently memorized the places pointed out by Hu Kai.

"Brother Kai, why don't you come with me?" Putting away the map in his hand, Jiang Chen turned his head and looked at Hu Kai.

When Hu Kai heard this, he looked hesitant and a little tempted, but in the end he shook his head.

"Come on, you're just a private, so it's ok. Even if you get caught, everyone will just laugh at you for a while. But if I'm eliminated before the training even starts, I'll be laughed to death by those guys when I get back!"

This is just one of the reasons. The real reason is that veterans like Hu Kai are very confident in their camouflage and hiding skills. They can win by relying on their hard work, so why bother to take unconventional measures?

For example, Zhang Ming.

As long as you choose a good hiding place, unless you are extremely unlucky or your opponent is unethical and uses thermal imaging to cheat, the probability of being discovered by just a pair of naked eyes is very, very small.

Winning is a given, but if something goes wrong...

This is the fundamental reason why they are unwilling to take risks.

"Xiao Jiangzi!"

"Ah?" Jiang Chen turned his head subconsciously.

"Be smart when you act. If you really can't do it, don't force yourself. At worst, you can come back to find your brother Kai. I can't guarantee that I will let you hide until the end, but I will definitely not let you be found at the beginning."

Jiang Chen nodded solemnly and said, "Well, don't worry, Brother Kai, I know the seriousness of the matter!"

Just as Li Gang said before, Hu Kai could only come over to lend a hand at most and could not stay here for too long.

An area of ​​five kilometers may seem large, but there are only so many places that are suitable for hiding. During the previous intelligence reconnaissance training, everyone had already gotten a good idea of ​​the terrain around the camp, and they knew which locations were good and which were bad.

It's okay for comrades to lend a hand to each other, but they can't sacrifice themselves just to help.

They were originally fighting on their own, and Hu Kai had come to help eliminate the danger outside the camp, which was already the most he could do. Jiang Chen naturally would not ask for more.

Watching Hu Kai's back disappear into the forest, Jiang Chen bent down and slowly retreated.

Now is not the time to act.

It was still early before dark, so Jiang Chen planned to collect more intelligence in preparation for the evening operation.

He took out the telescope, found a vantage point for convenient observation, and moved over quietly.

Lying in the grass, looking at the camp below, combining the intelligence he had collected previously with the several potentially dangerous places that Hu Kai had just pointed out, Jiang Chen silently planned his route in his mind.

Although the information previously collected on secret sentries, patrol teams, and outposts has become invalid, there is still a lot of intelligence that can be used.

For example, the topographic map around the camp, the approximate location of various military facilities, etc.

Two hours passed quickly.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was setting, and Jiang Chen put away the map he had redrawn, which marked some secret sentries, posts, and the approximate patrol routes of nearby patrol teams.

Retreating back into the mountains, the time was almost up and he had to make some preparations.

In the past two hours, Jiang Chen was not only observing the situation in the camp, but he also thought of an important source of intelligence that he had previously overlooked.

The small mountain village that Hu Kai and I had visited!

The only problem now is that the company commander said the training rules are within a five-kilometer radius, and the small mountain village where Zhang Zhibin is located is obviously beyond this range.

But, then again.

He wasn't going to break the rules and hide in the village. He was just going there to collect intelligence. That shouldn't be considered a violation, right?

Jiang Chen thought with some uncertainty.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Chen finally decided, fuck him!

The probability of successfully sneaking in with just the little information I have collected now is too low.

In the morning, with the help of the old scout Hu Kai, the two of them could only get close to the camp gate at most.

Not to mention that he is the only one left now.

Although the two cannot be compared, if there was really no other way, why would they go through so much trouble and finally spend a hundred dollars to finally have the chance to get close to the camp.

During the previous exercises, the enemy had less than two platoons of troops, and it was so difficult for them to sneak in. They needed their comrades to risk their lives to attract attention to have a slight chance, but in the end they were still discovered.

What's more, there is a whole battalion in front of us.

It's okay to take risks, but you can't actively seek death.

He did what he said. While there was still some time before dark, Jiang Chen quickened his pace and headed towards the small mountain village where Zhang Zhibin was.

……

On the other side, in the camp of the Second Battalion, Ge Hongtao and the Second Battalion Commander Liu Bo were sitting in the command center chatting.

Not far away, two civilian staff with the rank of lieutenant were observing the movements of everyone at the scene through the Beidou satellite system.

"report!"

"speak!"

"Report to the commander, according to the positioning, someone is leaving the exercise range!" A lieutenant officer stood up and reported.

"Oh?"

Second Battalion Commander Liu Bo subconsciously looked at Ge Hongtao next to him.

At this point in time, the people in the Second Battalion still don’t know about the camouflage training, so naturally there is no question of whether it is against the rules or not.

In other words, this person can only be a soldier from the reconnaissance company.

Facing the teasing gaze of Second Battalion Commander Liu Bo, Ge Hongtao, who had a leisurely look on his face just now, suddenly turned pale.

"Let me see who this coward is. Don't he know the rules?!" Cursing, Ge Hongtao stood up and walked to the command desk.

"Captain Ge!" The lieutenant raised his hand and saluted. Then, his fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard a few times, and a string of numbers was entered. Then, Jiang Chen's personal information popped up.

The principle of this function is very simple. You only need to number the positioning device carried by each soldier, and then you can identify the identity of each soldier among the vast number of signal sources.

"Jiang Chen?" Ge Hongtao was obviously stunned when he saw Jiang Chen's name.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this soldier?" Noticing that something was wrong with Ge Hongtao, Liu Bo subconsciously asked, and at the same time stood up and walked towards the command desk.

"Hmm? Why does this name sound so familiar..." After seeing the name on the screen and the photo of Jiang Chen next to it, Liu Bo frowned.

After a moment, he remembered.

"Hey, isn't this the college student recruit from this year's recruit company? He's a second-class meritorious service member. During the recruit assessment, he even got a third-class merit. What does he want to do?"

Jiang Chen's name is known to everyone in the entire 228th Regiment. At least even the officers above the first level have a very deep impression of this name.

Putting aside his status as a second-class hero, the fact that he was a student at a prestigious university was enough to leave a deep impression on them.

Obviously, it has been less than a month since Liu Bo joined the recruit training company, and his memory has not declined to this extent.

"Yes, that's him. What is this kid doing outside?" Looking at the red dot representing Jiang Chen running farther and farther away, Ge Hongtao's brows gradually frowned.

"Haha, don't be in a hurry. It's still early. Let's see what tricks he is going to play." Liu Bo said with a smile.

"If he breaks the rules, you can't cover for him, Old Ge!"

Ge Hongtao glanced at Liu Bo beside him and snorted coldly: "Humph, you don't need to remind me!

Besides, I just said that the hiding area is within a five-kilometer radius, and I didn't say that he can't leave in the middle of the journey. It's only five o'clock in the afternoon, and it's still early for the training to start. Isn't it okay as long as he comes back before the training starts? ! "

Ge Hongtao still has great trust in Jiang Chen. He doesn't believe that Jiang Chen would desert the battlefield. This is not an actual combat, but just a training session.

It's not worth it to sacrifice your future for such a small matter.

He didn't believe that Jiang Chen couldn't even see this.

So, this kid must have some other ideas...

Of course, Liu Bo would not think that a second-class hero and future military officer would desert the battlefield. The reason he said this was simply to squeeze Ge Hongtao.

Even though he was the battalion commander and Ge Hongtao was the company commander, before that, no matter it was an exercise or training, their ordinary company would be suppressed by the people from the reconnaissance battalion.

It is common for a company to hold down an entire battalion.

Even a clay figure still has some fire in it.

Now that he has finally regained the upper hand, the other party has come to him on their own initiative. If he doesn't seize the opportunity to get back at them, all the contempt he has endured over the years will have been in vain.

While the two were talking, Jiang Chen finally arrived at his destination.

"You kid, why are you here again?" Zhang Zhibin, who was moving things onto a tricycle, heard the noise outside the door. He walked out and saw Jiang Chen who was busy dealing with the villagers.

"Uncle Zhang, please help me, I don't understand the dialect!" The appearance of Zhang Zhibin made Jiang Chen feel like he had seen a savior. He waved his hands and shouted while refusing the things handed over by the villagers.

I didn’t see this scene when I came here in the morning. How come the villagers became so enthusiastic in just half a day?

Jiang Chen was really confused. He never expected that he would be surrounded by a group of villagers as soon as he reached the entrance of the village.

In addition, he didn't understand the dialect, so the two sides were speaking at cross purposes, and the scene before us ended up being what we see today.

Jiang Chen had no idea that at noon, most people in the village were either busy with farm work in the fields or going into the mountains to pick mountain products. There were basically few people in the entire village.

Now, everyone had finished their work and came back to prepare dinner. Before Jiang Chen even entered the village, he was surrounded by a group of villagers.

The villagers didn't have any other intentions, they just simply wanted to express their gratitude.

This is the emotion accumulated by countless soldiers from generation to generation. As long as the villagers see the appearance of this uniform, they will respond with the greatest enthusiasm.

"Fellow villagers, please go back. Let me entertain this Brother Xiaojun!" Zhang Zhibin shouted in dialect and finally rescued Jiang Chen from the crowd.

Although Zhang Zhibin seems to be just an ordinary middle-aged man on the surface, his prestige in the village is no less than that of the village chief.

Not to mention his status as a veteran, just this extremely simple store has helped the nearby villagers a lot.

In addition to running a convenience store, Zhang Zhibin also works part-time as a barefoot doctor in the village.

Although the medical methods I learned from the army are a bit rough, they are very effective.

Don’t worry about the process, I just want to ask you whether the person is alive or not!
