Chapter 1184: Dark Night

"Everyone be careful and watch; the two squads we just killed definitely weren't out alone; there must be more people behind. This forest is not big, but not small either; people coming in here, there must be others in other places; maybe they have already touched over."

After the laughter, Shi Jin alerted everyone and raised his concerns.

Wu Liuyi laughed: "What are you afraid of? If we can kill twenty, we can kill forty, kill eighty!"

"The Deputy Squad Leader is right; now I'm not even afraid of combat vehicles riding in my face; what about explosives? Give me one! I'll blow up their combat vehicles and tanks," Bai Tiejun clamored, full of pride.

Wang Yan said: "The Squad Leader is right; how about I go reconnoiter?"

Shi Jin pondered for a moment and nodded: "Take someone else, have someone to look after you."

"Me, me, me!" Bai Tiejun recommended himself actively.

"Fine, you go with Wang Yan, and listen to his orders."

"Squad Leader, you're talking too much; do I dare not listen to orders?" Bai Tiejun joked, then carried the Type 81 rifle and looked at Wang Yan, "Let's go, Brother Yan?"

"Don't go too far, otherwise support won't be in time."

"Don't worry, Squad Leader, it's mainly reconnaissance. Unless it's a last resort, we won't take action."

Wang Yan responded, then carried two guns and went out of the cover, using the cover of the jungle, and ran forward with Bai Tiejun.

Even if the forest was relatively sparse, it was still growing trees, all green. They were wearing jungle camouflage training uniforms, lowered their bodies, and if they didn't pay attention to observation, it was very difficult to be discovered.

Bai Tiejun didn't have so much nonsense this time either; he followed Wang Yan carefully, poking his head and looking around, observing dog-like and sneakily.

After a few quiet minutes, Wang Yan stopped and pulled Bai Tiejun.

Before he could be confused, Wang Yan pointed over: "Look over there."

Bai Tiejun looked over and saw that a hundred meters away, dozens of people in groups of three or two were spreading across the entire hillside, advancing tactically, wrapping around in a fan shape.

Wang Yan quickly reported a set of coordinates and ordered: "Quick, run back to notify the Squad Leader and contact the artillery."

"You're not leaving?"

"What else to leave for? A round of artillery, I'll kill them directly. Quick, go! You guys come over quickly, drive the combat vehicle. This forest definitely can't stay. Hurry!"

Bai Tiejun responded and turned to run back.

Wang Yan also retreated silently; the coordinates he reported naturally took into account the distance of this period of time, otherwise, by the time the artillery side was busy, people here would have left.

Of course, in fact, artillery firing also had estimates, not dead artillery. Artillery shelling hits a range, not training. Although they were always pursuing precision during training, when they really fought, it wasn't the few shells during training, but overwhelming, endless.

Soon, a few minutes passed, and just when they were not far from the combat vehicle, the Blue Army soldiers who came over suddenly started smoking.

Wang Yan didn't hesitate at all, fired directly to point out names, and ran rapidly toward the hillside to solve the people at the high point.

And not far behind, the combat vehicle also drove over along the foot of the mountain, and the machine gun started sweeping. In the jungle, the Third Squad soldiers had also divided into two groups to launch an attack.

The gunshots in the jungle were loud again, and it became lively.

Of course, they were all blank cartridges, mainly to strengthen the vibration feedback and have an immersive experience.

Using the cover on the other side, Wang Yan moved extremely fast to grab the high ground, fired rapidly to eliminate the Blue Army soldiers, and used the advantage of the high point to hit the Blue Army soldiers below.

This way, he made firepower point cover with the combat vehicle on the other side and other soldiers in the squad, beating the Blue Army soldiers until they fled in panic.

Of course, the main reason for this was that Wang Yan's firepower was fierce.

He was certainly not as fierce as a machine gun, but he was accurate. And he moved extremely fast, changing places after one shot, eliminating one Blue Army soldier with one shot.

This made the Blue Army soldiers in the engagement very uncomfortable. If they paid attention, there was only one person here; they invested too much energy here, restrained most of their energy, and the firepower in other directions weakened, which led to not small omissions. But if they didn't pay attention, he hit accurately, and even tried to go behind them. It made them difficult to support from left to right.

Just like that, the balance of this small-scale encounter battle began to tilt toward the Third Squad.

And after more than ten minutes of fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, at the foot of the mountain, two combat vehicles drove over with smoke and dust, directly inserting into the rear. The vehicle didn't even stop steadily, and the soldiers quickly got off the vehicle, drilled into the jungle, and carried out a counter-encirclement of the Blue Army soldiers inside.

The battle became more intense, and the sound of guns and shouting intertwined. From time to time, smoke dispersed in the field, and the smell of gunpowder smoke also permeated.

After another ten minutes or so, the sound of guns and artillery stopped completely. The Seventh Company soldiers didn't stop, and directly drove the combat vehicles to continue moving forward. They couldn't retreat, couldn't give up this piece of jungle, otherwise, they would be very passive.

After all, the Blue Army had many troops and fierce firepower, and was the attacking side. They, the Red side, were the defensive side; although it was field training, it was impossible to directly pull the troops out for a bombardment. After all, the other side could mobilize satellites; as long as they went out, they would be locked in no time, and then they would be bombarded, and they wouldn't even know where the enemy's artillery position was...

After such a round, the Seventh Company moved forward as a whole and transferred to a new location.

It was also at this time that Gao Cheng came to where the Third Squad was hiding.

"You guys did well. It's already been counted; in this battle, we eliminated fifty-six people on the opposite side, and the Seventh Company lost seven. Your squad has no injuries. Oh my, this time it's really aiming to fight a company with a squad; you are the first merit."

He had a cigarette in his mouth, hands on his hips, and "satisfied" written on his face.

If he had to describe it, he was extremely satisfied.

He looked at Wang Yan and smiled: "Especially you, Wang Yan, you performed the best. Up to now, you've killed no fewer than twenty Blue Army soldiers, right?"

"It's all thanks to the Squad Leader's good arrangement."

"Get lost," Gao Cheng scolded with a smile. "You don't need to say it, I know it's good."

Shi Jin smiled and said: "It's not that good, it's still the brothers' strength."

"Are you being humble now? Alright, no need to let it go; everyone has merit, and there will be no shortage of good things for you later."

Wang Yan asked: "Company Commander, did you find the Blue Army command post?"

"How long has it been since it started? Where is it so easy to find? The Blue Army has many troops, good equipment, and advanced reconnaissance means; it's not bad that we can hide the command post and not be discovered. It's very difficult to win. Do you know what our goal is? Not to lose! So as long as you maintain the current state and fully exert the results of daily training, for us, that is success."

Gao Cheng patted Wang Yan on the shoulder, "I know you're awesome, awesome to the point of reaching the sky. But words like ending the Blue Army command post, we can just say it ourselves to be happy; don't take it seriously, silly kid. You can't even find it, where are you going to end it?"

Wang Yan said: "How about I go reconnoiter?"

"Forget it, what can you do alone? If you get captured by the Blue Army again, that would be a big loss of face. Stay here honestly, obey orders and listen to commands, don't mess around."

After saying a few words to the soldiers, affirming the merit, and encouraging them, he left in a hurry.

Now that they were fighting, as a company commander, he had a lot of things to do, basically busy with his feet hitting the back of his head...

Wang Yan didn't continue to request either; Gao Cheng was right; he was just a small soldier, no need to worry about so much; just obey orders and listen to commands. It was just that he was indeed awesome, so Gao Cheng talked to him nicely; if it were someone else, Gao Cheng would probably scold him to death.

But in fact, if Wang Yan were really allowed to go out to reconnoiter, he could really find the Blue Army command post. After all, he had many means and was completely acting alone, so he had a lot of space to exert himself.

In fact, if he wanted to exert himself, there were only two ways. Either let him be a commander and decide the direction of the war, which was exerting his brain. Or let him play by himself, which was exerting his physical strength.

In his current state, he was greatly restricted.

But even so, his combat record was already very awesome. After the exercise ended, his legend would also be widely spread, although he was already a legend, it didn't delay the legendary story from being more fierce...

"I'll go for reconnaissance next time, Brother Yan, give the brothers some merit," Gan Xiaoning said.

"What's next time? You go now," Shi Jin waved his hand. "The Blue Army is not stupid; we've already killed more than half of their company, so this place definitely won't be ignored; we'll have more battles to fight next. Like this, Wu..."

"Fine," Wu Liuyi nodded simply, got up directly, and took Gan Xiaoning away.

Seeing the two leave, Bai Tiejun said: "Squad Leader, why not send another group? We have to observe from two directions, right?"

"No need, there will be a time for you to make merit, what's the rush?" Shi Jin glanced at him, then said, "Everyone rest well, today will definitely not be a good sleep, don't get exhausted when we fight later; everyone will have a chance to perform."

After saying that, he made some arrangements for everyone. Not going out to reconnoiter, but also having to be vigilant.

Bai Tiejun leaned toward Wang Yan again: "Brother Yan, borrow a cigarette."

Wang Yan took out the Hongtashan in his pocket, pulled out two, gave one to Bai Tiejun, and lit one for himself.

"Still have to mix with Brother Yan," Bai Tiejun leaned against the tree, "No, it's still following Brother Yan's footsteps."

"Awareness has improved."

"Look, following Brother Yan, I have to improve even if I don't want to."

After saying this, Bai Tiejun sighed again, "Brother Yan, I think our exercise is about to end."

"How do you say that?"

"Think about it, we killed more than half of the Blue Army company here, and the Company Commander even said it was the first shot of the entire regiment. What does that mean? It means we were the first to be exposed. But the regiment still arranged for us to be at the front, why? We are the target, the bait. It's to lure the Blue Army to hit us, and then we counter-encircle and hit the Blue Army hard."

"You can think of it, do you think the Blue Army can't?"

"Of course they can think of it, but they have no choice. Two eyes are dark, and we are the only light bulb here; you say if they don't hit us, who do they hit? Besides, the Blue Army has many troops and good equipment; are they afraid? Knowing it's a trap, the Blue Army dares to drill. It's to use us here to tear open a gap, mobilize our other troops, and then the Blue Army has a chance. Tanks and cannons also have a place to use."

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows, expressing surprise with a smile: "Your level has risen? You thought of quite a lot."

"Isn't this learning from Brother Yan? You hold books and read all day, and I also read some, think about it when I'm free, isn't this what I thought of? What do you think, Brother Yan?"

"Not bad, not bad, you thought of it quite well."

"Finished?"

"What else do you want? Do you want me to kowtow to you?"

"Don't, don't, don't, wrong, wrong," Bai Tiejun laughed, "Then tell your brother, what's going on with us now?"

"What you said might be right, or might not be right," Wang Yan looked at him and said, "We don't know the full picture of the battlefield; this is local. Understand? You take the local situation here and talk about the entire battlefield, the war situation of more than twenty thousand people; do you think it can be right? Do you know how the division arranged it? What are the other regiments doing? We don't know any of these.

Large-scale warfare is not one fist, but dozens, hundreds of fists. There is virtual and real, true and false. You say this is virtual or real, true or false? We don't know. Even our Company Commander doesn't know.

But what you said is not impossible to happen; these are not absolute. This is not what we should worry about; just obey orders and listen to commands; understand? Just think about it, do you really think you're a leader?"

"But Napoleon said, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier."

"Alright, General Bai?"

"Tsk, why is it so strange? General Bai, General Bai, General Bai Fei? General Bai Dang? This doesn't sound good either; it's all delayed by this surname."

The two laughed and talked about idle things...

That Bai Tiejun could think of these things was unexpected and not unexpected. After all, in the army, they came into contact with these things quite a bit, read military books, and watched war movies. A group of people chatted about these things when they were free, as if the masses were passionately building politics; men, who didn't talk about national affairs. Soldiers naturally talked about military affairs. It was all the norm.

This was also proof that the army had thoughts and beliefs. After all, it's not a good thing for people to know too much, not to mention soldiers who fight for their lives, have combat effectiveness, and have offensive weapons; this is the people's army...

In the following period of time, the soldiers who went out for reconnaissance changed several rounds, and there was no abnormality. The jungle was exceptionally quiet, as if it were the calm before the storm.

The soldiers in the Third Squad talked less, and their bragging couldn't be kept up.

Dinner was still military rations, and people ate with relish, and then chatted and farted boredly until the sky darkened and the stars appeared.

The soldiers were all restless.

It was only until this time that the jungle, which had been quiet for a long time, finally had movement...

Shi Jin's walkie-talkie emitted Wu Liuyi's voice: "Squad Leader, the Blue Army is here, but it's too dark to see how many people. But I hear the movement, and I feel there are quite a few people."

"Good, I know. You retreat slowly, pay attention to safety."

Shi Jin cut off the call and shouted, "Combat preparation!"

The sound of "ka-ka-ka" sounded, and the soldiers around all became spirited.

At the same time, Shi Jin hurriedly contacted Gao Cheng and reported the situation here.

Gao Cheng's instruction was nothing else, just hold on... ===== CHAPTER 1185 =====
