My Military Career in a Parallel World

There is never any sure thing in war, so it is normal for scouts to take risks while carrying out their missions.

However, relying on luck is absolutely unacceptable.

Even if they had failed in the process of infiltration, Ge Hongtao would not be as angry as he is now.

After cursing for more than ten minutes, Ge Hongtao's cursing gradually stopped when his anger had almost subsided.

However, this does not mean that the matter is over. Instead, it is more like the calm before the storm.

The six people were sent to the temporary training ground built by the Second Battalion for further training while waiting for the others to finish their training.

Ge Hongtao also told them very clearly that this was just the beginning, and they would have a hard time after returning. At least for the next month, their lives would probably not be easy.

The search outside the camp continues.

The soldiers of the Second Battalion did not miss any corner, and their seriousness and caution put tremendous pressure on the soldiers of the reconnaissance company.

More and more people were found out, and ordinary disguises were no match for this insane carpet search.

Ge Hongtao stood on the camp's sentry tower and watched the scene through a telescope. Although he had expected it, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

From the moment he defined the training area, he had already thought of the scene before him.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

If the scope is too large, the training will not have the desired effect; if the scope is too small, the training cannot be carried out and it is also difficult to achieve the desired effect.

The radius is five kilometers, no more, no less, which is exactly the range of the mountain in front of us.

There are mountains, water, forests and bushes here, which are perfect for training camouflage and concealment.

……

On the commanding heights of the mountain top, Zhang Ming was still lurking quietly. His extraordinary patience and concentration allowed him to hide well in this seemingly impossible place.

The wide field of vision also makes it convenient for him to observe the movements of the soldiers from the second battalion below.

Elsewhere, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company were also waiting in their respective hiding places. As the search range of the soldiers of the Second Battalion became larger and larger, loopholes were inevitable in the originally dense and airtight search circle, and this was their opportunity.

Some are nervous, some are confident.

This camouflage training is not only a test of their skills, but also a challenge to their psychological quality.

Some people can remain motionless when the enemy's feet are only a few centimeters away from them, without revealing the slightest flaw, and can even endure the pain of their palms or fingertips without making any sound.

However, some people expose their position because of their poor psychological quality and nervousness as soon as the other party approaches them.

At such a close distance, any slight movement will attract attention. It is very likely that a slight shake of the body or even the fluctuation caused by breathing will expose you.

Disguise is definitely not just about hiding, what is more important is the psychological quality.

The psychological quality of remaining calm even when facing a collapse of Mount Tai.

In Ge Hongtao's opinion, the importance of a good psychological quality to a scout is no less than basic skills such as physical fitness, fighting, and marksmanship.

This is also the purpose of his training.

Although it is unknown what Jiang Chen experienced during the infiltration process, the process was definitely not as smooth as imagined.

The other party was able to enter the command center without revealing any flaws and being discovered.

This alone has earned his approval.

Even if Jiang Chen was exposed on the spot, Ge Hongtao would still consider his training a success.

……

The sun gradually rose, and the sunlight shone onto the earth through the gaps in the woods. However, as the search circle expanded, the soldiers of the Second Battalion gained less and less.

As time passed, there were only six hours left before the end of the training, and at least half of the people had not been found. Several company commanders could no longer sit still.

He personally took his soldiers to intensify the search and not miss any place where people might be hiding.

If time was not running out, they would even want to turn the entire mountain over and sieve all the soil on the ground.

Maybe it was good luck, or maybe the chosen location was hidden enough.

No one from Class 3 has been eliminated yet.

There is no need to talk about Jiang Chen.

Even if the other party knew that there was someone hiding in the camp, they would never have thought that he could hide so deeply and secretly.

If we search the tents at the outermost part of the camp one by one, by the time we reach the officers' camp, the exercise may be over.

Not to mention that the other party would not be so irrational, even if they really did so, it would be fine.

So much time wasted just to look for him, and those who survived the training should remember him.

Jiang Chen could completely accept this result, and even hoped for it.

With the excitement of victory, the pain in my back was alleviated a little.

Jiang Chen's lips curled slightly, this injury was well worth it!

……

Training continues.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the first person found in Class 3 finally showed up.

The hiding place that Zhang Ming found for Su Yu was quite hidden. It was a tree hole that he had discovered when he was collecting intelligence.

The location of this tree hole is not at the bottom, but extends from the waist of the tree to the top of the tree, barely enough for a person to curl up and hide inside.

Everything seemed to be fine at first. The soldiers from the Second Battalion had not noticed Su Yu hiding in the tree hole during the previous searches.

However, Su Yu himself was not very motivated. Seeing that the enemy had not discovered him, he inevitably felt a little lax. In addition, his thighs were a little stiff after squatting in the tree hole for so long, so he subconsciously wanted to move his hands and feet. Unexpectedly, he accidentally pushed out the dead branches and leaves that had accumulated in the tree hole for many years.

As luck would have it, a group of soldiers happened to pass by and heard the sound of a branch falling to the ground.

Then, Su Yu, who was hiding in the tree hole, was pulled out.

Less than an hour later, another person from Class 3 was eliminated.

The person eliminated this time was Fang Zheng.

This guy is really hardworking. He actually chose to hide underwater by disguising himself as water plants growing on the water surface.

When he was found, he was almost floating on the bladder, and his face was as pale as a water ghost.

When the soldiers from the Second Battalion found him and pulled him out from the bottom of the water, one could clearly see a flash of relief on Fang Zheng's face.

In fact, even if he wasn't found, he wouldn't be able to hold on for too long.

Exposure is only a matter of time.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. He still overestimated himself.

Li Gang had reminded him more than once when choosing a hiding place, but Fang Zheng wanted to give it a try, and he felt that he had no problem.

Li Gang didn't know what to say and could only agree to his request.

"If you can't hold on, you can give up. Don't let such a small thing lead to irreversible consequences!"

Li Gang's words before he left were still echoing in his mind. Fang Zheng was lying on the ground looking at the blue sky, wondering what he was thinking.

"Brother, you are working too hard. Is it necessary just for a training session?" A sergeant from the Second Battalion couldn't help but say as he looked at him, who was soaked all over and his skin was almost rotten.

Fang Zheng turned his head and glanced at the man, then smiled silently: "Does the Wolf Fang Special Forces know about this?"

"Of course!" The sergeant nodded in response, with a hint of longing flashing in his eyes.

Unlike Old A's high level of confidentiality, the Southeast Military Region's Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade is not that confidential.

Every year they select soldiers from various companies in the military region to go for training.

Although most of the selection focus was on scouts, ordinary soldiers had also heard something about it.

Many soldiers who are determined to join the reconnaissance company are aiming for a place in the special forces.

It’s not that ordinary companies don’t have the opportunity to participate in training and become special forces, but if you can’t even be a scout, how can you talk about joining the special forces.

The special forces reserve is not just empty talk in its literal sense.

Many of the scouts' training subjects overlap with those of special forces.

For example, armed swimming, camouflage/reconnaissance, rappelling, etc.

Some reconnaissance companies even have subjects such as helicopter driving, tank/armored vehicle driving, and parachuting.

Of course, due to funding and various other factors, the scouts only had a superficial understanding of these subjects and did not go that deep.

But it's already pretty remarkable.

Ordinary companies, such as tank companies, armored companies, aviation companies and other arms, even if they can be exposed to some special subjects, are far from being as comprehensive as reconnaissance companies.

Moreover, their physical requirements are not that high.

Fang Zheng was originally an ordinary soldier in the 31th Regiment of the 446st Division.

Due to his outstanding performance in the recruit company, he was selected by the armored company and served as the machine gunner in the squad.

His experience is somewhat similar to Chengcai's. As soon as he joined the company, he caught the company commander's attention with his excellent military qualities.

In the class, he was pampered by the squad leader and protected by the platoon leader. Before he was promoted from private, his rank as a non-commissioned officer had already been confirmed.

If everything had developed according to the original trajectory, Fang Zheng should have been transferred to a non-commissioned officer after completing his conscript service, and then if he performed well in a few more years, he would have been promoted to deputy squad leader, and finally squad leader until retirement.

But in a large-scale exercise two years ago, the armored company he was in accidentally encountered a squadron of the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade that entered the venue midway.

Then, they were beaten and fled, not even knowing how many enemies there were.

He was pressed to the ground and rubbed the whole time.

It was not until the end of the exercise that he got accurate information from his squad leader.

There were only twelve enemies, a standard squadron in the special forces brigade.

Twelve men against one hundred and twenty of them, and the result was...

21:0.5

The reason why it is 0.5 is mainly because a special forces soldier accidentally broke his arm during the pursuit and was unable to participate in the subsequent exercises and voluntarily withdrew.

It was also from that time that Fang Zheng first learned the name of the special forces and developed a yearning for special forces soldiers.

After that, he continued to work hard in this direction.

Unlike Chengcai, Fang Zheng directly told the company commander about his idea of ​​joining the special forces.

After hearing this, their company commander did not scold or reject him as expected, but first told him about the hardships/difficulties of the special forces...

Try to convince him this way.

However, Fang Zheng had made up his mind and was willing to give it a try no matter what.

Seeing him like this, the company commander did not try to persuade him any further. Instead, he pointed out a clear way forward for Fang Zheng.

Let him go to the reconnaissance company first to test the waters and feel the intensity of the training of the special forces reserve.

Fang Zheng thought about it and felt that this was a good idea, so he agreed.

However, the problem was that their regiment did not have any scouts.

To be precise, it should have existed originally, but was abolished in the subsequent military reform.

Because the nature of their regiment was different from that of the 228th Regiment, their responsibility was more towards fire support, and the organization of the reconnaissance company had never been restored.

However, since this suggestion has been made, there is naturally a solution.

Their regiment does not have a reconnaissance company, but the division does, and so does the brother regiment next door.

After receiving the reply, Fang Zheng began to work towards the direction of the scout.

The division's direct reconnaissance battalion was still in the formation stage, so it was naturally impossible for him to be allowed in. Therefore, Fang Zheng could only take another approach.

The 228th Regiment has a full reconnaissance battalion, and the regiment headquarters is also in the process of forming a police detective company, so it goes without saying what to choose.

After passing another round of assessment, Fang Zheng successfully joined the Reconnaissance Company 3.

I thought becoming a scout would be the beginning of realizing my dream.

However, after arriving at the third company, he found that he was not as good as he had imagined.

In a year and a half, although Fang Zheng's performance was not the worst in the reconnaissance company, it was at most in the middle level.

Originally, although he was a little discouraged, he was far from giving up.

However, when the original squad leader of the third squad retired and Li Gang, the top scout, was transferred to the third squad as squad leader, Fang Zheng realized how ridiculous his idea was.

Like most soldiers today, he dropped out of school and was sent to join the army by his family.

Although I went to high school for two days, my grades...

Even Li Gang, who was considered a top soldier among the scouts, ultimately failed due to his low cultural level, let alone him.

This year's special forces recruitment has passed, and Fang Zheng originally thought of trying again next year.

However, Jiang Chen's appearance once again dealt him a heavy blow.

A new recruit who had just joined the army for less than four months, except for some professional knowledge, almost crushed the veteran in other aspects such as physical fitness and fighting.

Moreover, he is making rapid progress at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The last thought in Fang Zheng's heart was also cut off.

He wanted to wait until after this year and then ask the company commander to let him return to his old company.

This disguise training was just a way for him to vent the unwillingness in his heart.

He wants to prove himself, maybe he's not that mediocre.

However, the final answer is...

Once again he failed.

Listening to Fang Zheng's story, the non-commissioned officer beside him also fell silent.

After a long while, he licked his dry lips and said, "Brother, you are actually better than most people."

"Look at me, then look at them..." The sergeant pointed at himself, then pointed at the soldiers who were still searching tirelessly not far away.

Then, a bitter smile appeared on his face: "Don't be fooled by everyone's usual stubbornness, saying that scouts are just so-so, scouts are nothing, no matter how awesome the scouts are, they still lost to us.

But in fact, who doesn’t have a heroic dream in their heart?

When I first came to the army, there was an exercise. Thousands of people from the entire division gathered together, and leaders came forward to speak to boost morale.

The person from our regiment who will go up is your Battalion Commander Lei.

Do you know what he said at the time?

Fang Zheng shook his head.

The sergeant smiled lightly and said with emotion: "What he said is what you often say now.

The 228th Regiment is the spearhead of the 31st Division, and the reconnaissance battalion is the tip of the spearhead!

At that time, I was so excited. After returning from the exercise, I worked hard, but I couldn’t reach the standard of the reconnaissance battalion. "

After saying that, the sergeant stood up, patted the grass debris on his body, looked at Fang Zheng lying on the ground, and said with a smile: "How come the sentence our instructor often says comes to this..."

"Everyone has their own mission and responsibility. We just need to do our own job well and contribute our own strength to achieve common goals!"
