My Military Career in a Parallel World

The quartermaster looked serious. After saluting Liu Bo and Ge Hongtao, he said, "Reporting to the battalion commander, the material reserves in the camp are expected to run out by noon tomorrow. Should we arrange for vehicles to resupply in advance?"

Liu Bo replied without even looking up: "Don't bother. I have already communicated with the logistics department at noon. They will help deliver the follow-up supplies tomorrow morning at the latest. You just need to arrange for the staff to receive them."

"Yes!" The quartermaster took the order and left.

……

At this time, Jiang Chen, who was lying in the grass, had no idea what was happening in the command center. He was still waiting patiently. Time passed slowly, the sky became darker, and the sounds of various insects rose and fell in the forest.

Looking at the still quiet road in the distance, Jiang Chen's heart couldn't help but drop.

With the help of the starlight, Jiang Chen raised his wrist to check the time. It was almost eight o'clock in the evening. He had been lying here for nearly two hours. He only saw a few villagers riding bicycles passing by, but there was no sign of the supply vehicle that he had been waiting for for a long time.

He raised the telescope again, and suddenly, a beam of bright light came from a distance. Jiang Chen's spirits suddenly perked up, and he quickly perked up and observed carefully.

Three military trucks covered with dark green canvas were seen approaching slowly from a distance. The lights pierced through the darkness and shone through the telescope lens, causing Jiang Chen's eyes to hurt. However, he did not feel anything at all. He still stared at the military vehicles approaching slowly at the end of the road, his heart beating violently.

Success or failure depends on this!

Jiang Chen stared at the military vehicle closely, watching it getting closer and closer, his body gradually tensed up as he prepared to go.

When the military vehicle reached the section of road that he had destroyed, it stopped as he had expected.

"Anomalies have been detected ahead, stop moving forward!

Repeat, abnormality found ahead, stop moving forward! "

A soldier in the passenger seat of the lead vehicle shouted into the walkie-talkie.

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

The three cars slowly stopped, the passenger door was opened, and a soldier jumped out holding a flashlight.

The lights swept across both sides of the road. Jiang Chen hid in the bushes, not daring to move, and even his breathing slowed down to the extreme.

Five minutes later, the soldier who came down to check the situation confirmed that there was no danger, then took out the walkie-talkie and shouted, "There must have been a landslide on the nearby mountain before, and some rubble and soil rolled down. Two people came down to help."

Hearing the sound coming from not far away, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel relieved.

Fortunately, I was careful beforehand. If it had really been like in the TV series, I would have just found some dead branches and rotten wood and thrown them in the middle of the road.

If we really do this, even if we are not discovered, it will definitely arouse the other party's vigilance.

If the other party was on guard, it would be impossible for him to complete his plan quietly and concealed from so many eyes even if he had great ability.

Even if he could hide it, it would be useless. If the other party noticed something was wrong, it was hard to say whether they would continue to go to the camp.

If they turned back or called for support, once the people from the Second Battalion arrived and conducted a carpet search, he would not be able to escape even if he hid under the car.

To put it bluntly, if you want your plan to succeed, you must first not arouse the other party's suspicion.

Now that the first step has been completed, it all depends on his own ability.

Looking at the soldiers who were clearing obstacles on the road, Jiang Chen took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.

Although the first step was successful, it does not mean that Jiang Chen can sit back and relax.

As an experienced driver with eight years of driving experience, Jiang Chen knew very well that as long as the driver in the driving seat did not let down his guard, it would be impossible for him to approach the vehicle silently.

Especially for this kind of large truck, the rearview mirror on the vehicle can cover almost all positions around the vehicle without blind spots.

He still needs to wait for the best time.

The drivers of the three cars showed no intention of coming down to help, which meant that if Jiang Chen wanted to take action, he could only choose the last truck.

The place where he was lurking now was in the middle of the convoy, some distance away from the last car.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen had brought down a lot of dirt and gravel before, and the three soldiers only had engineer shovels, so they had to clean it up for a while.

Lurking in the bushes, Jiang Chen slowly "crawled" forward. Yes, crawled, not an adjective. He really was crawling forward slowly like a worm.

The good news is that the distance is less than ten meters, so even if Jiang Chen moves slowly, it won’t take too long.

Through the gaps in the grass, Jiang Chen looked at the driver sitting in the driver's seat of the last car, observing his every move.

On the other side, three soldiers had finally cleared most of the remaining gravel and dirt on the road and were walking back with their engineering shovels.

Seeing his companion coming back after work, the driver in the driving seat habitually started the car and prepared for departure.

The diesel enters the engine through the nozzle and is ignited, and a huge buzzing sound is heard.

The driver's attention is inevitably attracted by his companions beside him.

"good chance!"

Seeing the driver turn his head, Jiang Chen knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

Without hesitation, taking advantage of the noise of the truck starting, Jiang Chen suddenly jumped out of the grass and ducked directly under the car.

Although he had never seen the chassis of a military truck, the basic principles were the same. Relying on his experience as an apprentice in a car repair shop for three months in his previous life, Jiang Chen quickly found the right position, tightly grasped the parts under the car, and used his arms to lift himself into the air.

Although the process was short, it was no less exciting. Jiang Chen's heart was pounding, fearing that he would fail at the last moment.

It was not until the military vehicle started again and Jiang Chen felt a little relieved when he felt the vibration from the vehicle.

As the vehicle slowly started moving, an inexplicable feeling of excitement and nervousness surged in my heart.

He seems to have really done it!!!

The joy and excitement were only brief. Before he could be happy for too long, as the vehicle moved forward, a thumb-sized stone hit Jiang Chen's face, dashing his newly-risen joy.

Climbing under the car is just the beginning, the real ordeal is yet to come.

The good news is that because the vehicle was carrying various supplies and the driver was driving very carefully, the vehicle's forward speed was not very fast.

But the bad news is that there is still a long distance from here to the camp, which means Jiang Chen must be able to hold on.

Also, don't forget where he is now.

As long as he dares to let go, it would not be as simple as just being discovered. The injuries he would suffer would be the lightest. If he is not careful, it is possible that he would be seriously injured or even lose his life.

Do you really think it’s so easy to crawl under a car?

It's easier to go up than to come down, this is exactly what Jiang Chen is facing now.

He now had no choice but to go all the way. Unless the car encountered an accident and stopped again, Jiang Chen would not even have the chance to regret.

Thinking of this, his originally excited mood suddenly became heavy. Feeling the soreness in his arms and the strength in his body constantly draining away, Jiang Chen's heart completely sank to the bottom.

However, things have come to this point, Jiang Chen can't give up and let all his previous efforts go to waste.

Fortunately, since he joined the army until now, he has never given up on improving his physical fitness.

In just less than four months, with the help of the dream space, Jiang Chen is no longer the powerless high school student before.

Even compared to some old scouts who had been in the army for three or four years, he was not at all fearful.

He has been persevering all the time, and even when he was on vacation, he never forgot to enter the dream space to hone his perseverance, which played a decisive role at this moment.

The military vehicle was bumpy all the way. Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and persevered. Sweat had already covered his forehead and dripped down as the vehicle shook.

When the car left the highway and headed along the gravel road toward the camp on the mountain, countless stones hit Jiang Chen's body like bullets, causing him to grimace in pain and almost screaming several times.

This was just the beginning. The vehicle was driving on the rugged mountain road, and every bump was a challenge for him. Several times, Jiang Chen's back almost hit the ground.

Helplessly, he could only lift his body up with all his strength, and this action further increased his physical consumption.

The most dangerous time was when a stone the size of an eyeball flew under the huge pressure of the wheel and hit him directly on the head. If it weren't for the protection of a helmet, he would have definitely been bleeding from the head, not to mention anything else.

Just like that, Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and held onto the steel frame under the car tightly with his arms...

Ten minutes later, just when Jiang Chen was about to reach his limit, the vehicle finally came to a slow stop, and then several voices were heard.

"Password!"

"mountain peak!"

"Reply!"

"plateau!"

After exchanging passwords and confirming identities, the roadblocks outside the camp gate were lifted and several sentries checked the vehicles as per routine.

"You guys are finally here. If you were any later, our brothers would be out of food!"

"Haha, we should have arrived a long time ago. I went to the production company to deliver supplies to the reconnaissance battalion at noon, and then I loaded the truck right away when I came back. On the way here just now, I encountered a landslide on a section of the road, which is why we are delayed until now."

"It's good that you're here. During the day, some people from the nearby village came to sell things and got two packs of good cigarettes..."

Even though people usually speak coldly and look down on the pig-raising squad of the production company, when facing the big guys in the logistics department, no matter which unit or branch of the military they are from, they have to give them some face.

There's nothing we can do about it, since they hold the purse strings.

The logistics department and the production company are two completely different concepts. Compared to the production company which is regarded as a gathering place for bad soldiers, the logistics/joint logistics is a truly lucrative job.

Without connections, you can’t go even if you want to.

Looking at the soldiers constantly moving around the vehicle, Jiang Chen suppressed his fatigue and once again hid himself in the gap of the vehicle's chassis. Because he was too exhausted, the muscles in his arms couldn't stop shaking, and the places on his back that were hit by stones felt a piercing pain.

If you take off your clothes at this moment, you will find that Jiang Chen's entire body from head to toe is covered with red spots and bruises of varying sizes.

Among them, the bruise on the thigh was the most serious. It was as big as two fists, purple in color, and looked very horrifying.

Pain and fatigue stimulated Jiang Chen's nerves all the time, which was why he never gave up training his willpower when he was training in the dream space.

Even if his body is exhausted, he will try his best to hold on until he reaches his limit, and then use the dream space to restore his strength.

In addition, there is the boss Li Gang, a group of elite monsters and a small Karami as sparring partners.

Jiang Chen didn't dare to say how strong his endurance for pain was, but it was definitely not much worse than that of veterans like Hu Kai and Zhang Ming.

……

The routine checkup didn't last long.

After confirming that there was no problem with the cargo on the truck, the truck slowly drove into the camp.

Three large trucks stopped directly at the door of a large tent, and several soldiers from the kitchen squad came forward and began to move the goods.

Listening to the noise coming from outside, Jiang Chen finally smiled. He knew that his plan was about to succeed.

……

On the other side, inside the command center.

After witnessing the red dot representing Jiang Chen entering the camp unhindered, the smile on the face of Second Battalion Commander Liu Bo finally disappeared.

A smile doesn't disappear, it just moves from one person's face to another.

Ge Hongtao, who had a gloomy face just now, as if someone owed him millions, was now smiling happily.

His old face was about to burst from laughing.

"Hahahaha...Old Liu, we agreed before that you can't tip off anyone!!!" Ge Hongtao said proudly.

"Get lost! Am I that kind of person?!" Liu Bo cursed with a dark face.

"Then I don't care. Anyway, I will follow you from now on. Don't even think about running away to the bathroom!"

"Who the hell are you looking down on! Would I do such a thing?!"

If he hadn't been the battalion commander for so many years and had developed a bad temper, Liu Bo would have kicked him a few years ago.

Seeing his angry look, Ge Hongtao knew that he could not continue to provoke him.

"Hey, Old Liu, don't be angry, don't be angry, I was just joking, have a cigarette and relax..." As he said that, Ge Hongtao took out the special cigarettes he had taken from the regiment commander some time ago from his pocket, lit it and stuffed it into Liu Bo's mouth without saying a word, and then, regardless of the expression on his face, he pulled him to the side.

Although Ge Hongtao was forced to suppress the smile on his face, he could not hide the joy in his heart.

Jiang Chen really gave him a big surprise!

At the same time, he became more determined about his previous arrangements.

What happened to Private?

A private soldier cannot be a squad leader or a platoon leader?!

As long as you are capable enough, I can give you the position of company commander!

……

Although the reconnaissance company seems so glorious on the outside, only the company commanders themselves know their real suffering.

The 228th Regiment is, after all, just a regiment.

It is not a division, let alone an army.

It is not easy to train a qualified scout.

Not to mention, their battalion has at least three hundred people.

How many soldiers are there in the 228th Regiment?

Scouts have to be selected from the best...

The reason why the reconnaissance battalion can be maintained is more due to historical reasons.

As things have developed to the present, the reconnaissance battalion, which was supposed to be the spearhead of the force, has become a limitation to the unit's combat effectiveness.

All the good soldiers were concentrated in the reconnaissance battalion, but the reconnaissance battalion itself had only a limited number of NCO vacancies each year.

Many excellent soldiers who would be considered top students in ordinary companies and could easily get positions as non-commissioned officers had no choice but to retire in the reconnaissance battalion.

Just as how much water a wooden barrel can hold is not determined by the longest board, but by the shortest board.

The role of the reconnaissance battalion is naturally beyond doubt, but it is really too much for a regiment to maintain such a large-scale elite force.

The good soldiers all flock to the reconnaissance battalion and become scouts, so the remaining companies are becoming weaker and weaker.

Thus, the Police Detective Company was born.

Also, the reconnaissance battalion has received fewer and fewer reinforcements in recent years.
