My Military Career in a Parallel World

The matter of the Beidou positioning equipment should have been made public after the exercise.

However, due to various reasons, the matter was delayed again and again until the Reconnaissance Battalion and the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Battalion reached a cooperation. Both parties wanted to take this opportunity to learn more, so they simply continued to conceal the matter.

Jiang Chen also stumbled upon it by accident.

The positioning device was originally bound to the laser simulation sensing device used during the exercise. After the exercise, the laser sensing device was taken away, but the positioning device was left behind.

When Jiang Chen changed his clothes to disguise himself just now, he changed everything except his shoes and the short-sleeved shirt and shorts underneath.

The positioning device hidden inside the helmet naturally did not escape and was hidden by Jiang Chen together with the clothes he had taken off in the canvas hanging from the edge of the tent. Unless the other party wanted to break camp and change their location, there was generally no danger of exposure.

……

Time passed minute by minute, Jiang Chen endured the torment under the bed, and the sky outside the tent gradually began to turn white.

Suddenly, a hurried assembly whistle broke the tranquility of the early morning.

"Emergency assembly!!!"

The two lieutenants jumped up from the bed in an instant, quickly put on their clothes and rushed out of the tent.

In an emergency assembly, no matter what position you are in, even if you are a civilian staff, you have to assemble as soon as you hear the call.

Jiang Chen rolled up his sleeves and looked at the time. It was five thirty in the morning, half an hour before the training start time the company commander had said.

But it’s okay to think about it.

The company commander just said that the training would start at six in the morning, but he didn't say that people couldn't prepare in advance.

This is true.

When everyone had gathered, Battalion Commander Liu Bo announced the camouflage training, and the soldiers below were all shocked when they heard this.

They didn't expect that they would be faced with such an incident right after they had just completed intelligence training.

"I'll give you half an hour to prepare. Each company should arrange their work and allocate search areas. Once the time is up, we will start the action immediately!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

The soldiers, led by their respective company commanders, went back to make preparations, but no one noticed Liu Bo's gloomy face.

I don’t know if these guys could have imagined this. Their own camp was infiltrated like a sieve, but no one noticed.

If this gets out after the training is over, how will he save his face if his battalion of more than 300 people cannot even defend against a private who just joined the reconnaissance company?

I must be laughed to death by the third battalion commander next door and the guys in the regiment headquarters...

But what else could he do?

Not to mention that Liu Bo would not do such a shameless thing. Even if he wanted to do it, he would not have the opportunity.

Didn’t you see the dog-skin plaster following it? If he dares to open his mouth today, this guy will never let him go.

Even the team leader couldn't stand this dog-skin plaster, so Liu Bo didn't think he could handle it if it were him.

In the reconnaissance company 3, Ge Hongtao was affectionately called Ge Keng by his soldiers, but in the eyes of the officers, this guy was a complete nuisance and a dog-skin plaster.

Back then, for such a trivial matter, he dared to block the door of the regiment commander's house, making the regiment commander feel like a thief even when he went home.

If this isn’t a nuisance and a frivolous plaster, what is it?

"Is this okay? I'm a battalion commander, and I don't deserve to lose face over such a small matter. Hurry up and do what you need to do, don't rely on me!"

When Liu Bo saw Ge Hongtao's dark face, he was furious.

"Don't chase me away. This place is a wilderness for dozens of miles. It's not as comfortable as your headquarters, Captain Liu. Wait until the training is over. I will leave as soon as the training is over."

However, Ge Hongtao was too thick-skinned and was not moved at all.

"Hmph, whatever you want!" Liu Bo had no choice but to deal with this kind of scoundrel.

Although he is one grade higher than Ge Hongtao, the two have always had a good relationship.

When they were in military school, Liu Bo was promoted due to his merits, while Ge Hongtao was a local candidate. They were both in the same recruit company and later became classmates.

However, Ge Hongtao still needs to go through several internships before he can graduate, while Liu Bo can go back to the army to take up his post as soon as the time is up.

The gap between the two people was gradually widened.

If there wasn't such a relationship, how could Ge Hongtao, a captain and company commander, dare to go against Liu Bo, the battalion commander, on someone else's territory?

Although, he once blocked the door of the head of the group, but in the final analysis, he dared to do such a thing because they had a good relationship.

If you don't have this condition, do you really think that everyone will spoil you?

The first level of officialdom crushes people to death.

I'm not joking.

Of course, this is the military, not the officialdom. As long as it is not on the battlefield or a matter of principle, no one will care about these trivial matters.

It is perfectly normal for company commanders to get along well with soldiers and for regimental commanders to get along well with grassroots officers.

The prerequisite is that you have to be good enough. The so-called getting along with others means getting along with outstanding soldiers. If you are a soldier who ranks at the bottom of the annual assessment, the company commander will probably be very angry with you, let alone get along with you.

On this side, the people of the Second Battalion began to prepare, and on the other side, more than one hundred soldiers from the reconnaissance company had already chosen their hiding places, waiting for the training to begin.

Jiang Chen is not the only one who wants to play tricks on others.

However, due to the strict security of the camp, they had no chance to sneak in.

Some soldiers with quick minds, seeing that the situation was hopeless, simply changed their thinking and found a place to hide along the wall at the edge of the camp.

Most of these soldiers had just arrived at the reconnaissance company. They knew they were still lacking in camouflage and concealment, so they decided to take a gamble like Jiang Chen did.

The difference is that Jiang Chen was more ambitious and thought more carefully, and with some luck, he actually succeeded in his bet.

In addition, most veterans believe in their own abilities and are very confident in their camouflage and hiding skills.

Rather than taking an unconventional approach and relying on luck, a steady and cautious approach is more suitable for them.

Just like Hu Kai, Zhang Ming, Li Gang and others.

Are you saying they don’t have the ability to sneak in?

Of course!

Moreover, if Jiang Chen had not been inspired by film and television dramas to find a different way, both parties would have chosen to infiltrate in the conventional way.

Jiang Chen's chance of successfully sneaking in is at most 10%, while they have at least a 30% chance of success.

This is a gap caused by experience and skills, which can only be accumulated slowly through time and experience.

Is a 30 percent probability high?

High, very high!

But it depends on how you compare.

If they hide outside, with their abilities, the possibility of them staying till the end is also very high, at least more than 50%, and they don't have to take risks and rely on luck.

There is no need to say how to choose.

The place Zhang Ming chose to hide was on a commanding point on the top of the mountain. It was surrounded by gravel of various sizes. It was bare as far as the eye could see, without any green at all, let alone a place to hide.

But Zhang Ming chose such a place and he could hide very well.

Of course, choosing this kind of place to hide has its pros and cons.

The advantage is that it lowers the enemy's vigilance and makes the enemy subconsciously believe that it is impossible to hide people in such a place.

The disadvantage is that it naturally attracts attention. You can use a telescope from anywhere to observe the situation here. The slightest movement may attract attention, thus exposing yourself.

But this is perfect for Zhang Ming.

Although it is safe to hide in the mountains and forests, if the other party really conducts a carpet search, it is hard to say whether he can escape the search with his camouflage skills.

On the contrary, this way of testing patience is more suitable for me.

The last thing a sniper lacks is patience.

……

It is no exaggeration to say that this camouflage training was like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing off their magical powers.

Those who climbed up trees climbed up trees, those who went down to the river went down to the river, and those who hid underground hid underground...

This is not an adjective, but there are really people hiding underground.

The method is also very simple. Find a slope with a steep slope and plants and shrubs, dig a hole, find some dry branches to pad your chest to relieve pressure, hide your face, eyes, nose and other organs in the grass or bushes, and leave the buried body exposed.

A few lonely weeds and shrubs grew tenaciously on the slope, and no one would have thought that a person could hide in this place.

Not to mention climbing trees and going down rivers, these are the scouts' signature skills.

Although the routine is old, it is very useful.

……

Inside the camp.

Jiang Chen hid under the bed, and only then was he able to relax his tense nerves a little.

While there was no one in the tent, Jiang Chen seized the opportunity to sink his consciousness into the dream space and use the time difference to quickly recover his energy.

The only regret is that Jiang Chen doesn’t know when the other party will come back, and he doesn’t dare to sleep in the dream space.

Otherwise, within an hour at most, he would be able to clear away all the accumulated fatigue in his body.

At five forty-five, the two lieutenant officers who had just gone out returned to the tent with packed lunch boxes. Hearing the noise, Jiang Chen hurriedly exited the dream space, and his nerves, which had relaxed a little, tensed up again.

From time to time, there were rumbling footsteps and shouting in the camp. Two officers were discussing what had just happened while eating.

Jiang Chen was also collecting relevant intelligence information from their conversation.

Just as I was listening intently, suddenly the curtain of the tent was lifted and a familiar voice came into my ears.

"Sergeant Wang, why are you here?" Two lieutenants who were eating stood up and greeted him.

The person who came was none other than the quartermaster who had been in the army for at least ten to twenty years and was a fifth-term non-commissioned officer whom I had met last night.

"Nothing, I just came to see if you are used to the living and eating conditions...

The conditions in this wilderness are really limited, and I don’t know how long I will be busy. The battalion commander asked me to come over and ask the two leaders if there is anything I can help with.”

"Squad Leader Wang, please stop calling us Chief. Although we are civilians, we are also soldiers. There is no such thing as getting used to it..."

Facing Chief Steward Wang, the two men did not dare to be arrogant.

With his military service, not to mention the two lieutenants, even the regiment commander or division commander would probably address him as "old squad leader."

The three of them exchanged a few pleasantries, and after confirming that there were no problems, Chief Steward Wang turned around and left.

To put it simply, the quartermaster is the army's steward, and he is in charge of anything related to logistics/supplies.

As instructors assigned by their superiors to teach them how to use the new equipment, the battalion commander and several company commanders were too busy with training to spare the time.

The instructor who was most suitable to come did not come because he had to stay in the camp to look after the house.

But he, the quartermaster, is the only one who can take over.

After all, the weight of a fifth-term non-commissioned officer is there, and people won’t feel neglected.

Hearing the footsteps of the quartermaster leaving, Jiang Chen finally let go of his worries.

What happens next is much simpler.

If you can get through these last twelve hours, you will succeed!

……

Outside the camp.

Nearly three hundred soldiers, except for the necessary garrison forces, almost all the others came out and searched inch by inch along the barbed wire wall at the edge of the camp.

After dealing with scouts for so many years, the company commanders knew very well how difficult these guys were.

They knew that they could never be too cautious when facing scouts!

In order to avoid leaving any opportunity for attack when the camp was empty, the three company commanders of the Second Battalion decisively chose the safest search method.

Start from the edge of the camp and slowly move forward, trying not to miss any chance.

As for the interior of the camp, each class, platoon, and company had already conducted self-inspection long after the emergency assembly ended.

Even the material warehouse, kitchen, and even the toilet were not spared.

I was just afraid that scouts would sneak in under the cover of night.

After all, none of them had paid attention to this matter before receiving the notice, and they had just completed a training session, so it was inevitable that they were a little relaxed mentally.

Fortunately, it is too late to mend the situation.

After a careful search, they finally found some clues.

There are signs of human activities in many places around the camp.

This discovery intensified the search efforts of the soldiers of the Second Battalion.

However, they never imagined that someone had already reached the heart of their camp and even entered the headquarters last night to meet with their supreme commander.

Jiang Chen escaped, but it was hard for his comrades who shared the same idea as him.

Several soldiers from the reconnaissance company who wanted to take a chance outside the camp were pulled out first.

There were six people in total, five privates and one non-commissioned officer.

According to the order issued by Liu Bo before, the captured people were sent directly to the camp to be dealt with by their company commander Ge Hongtao.

Seeing Ge Hongtao approaching with a dark face, the six people lowered their heads, not daring to look at the expression of their company commander.

"What time is it?!"

No one answered and everyone lowered their heads.

"I'm asking you what time it is now!" Ge Hongtao roared with a dark face.

"Report, six o'clock five!" the highest-ranking sergeant answered stiffly.

“Isn’t it shameful? Is it shameful?!!!

I ask you if you are embarrassed! Counting the time it took to walk here from outside, that means you were caught just after six o'clock, and you didn't even last a minute!"

The six people lowered their heads even lower.

"If you don't have the skills, don't take on this job!

They haven't even learned how to walk yet, and they're already thinking about going to heaven?!

Don't you even consider whether you have practiced your skills well enough?"

Ge Hongtao knew very well what these people were thinking.

He was not angry at what they did, he was just scolding them for having no self-awareness.

Also, even though you know something is impossible, you still hold on to hope!
