Chapter 1725: Involved the team
Zhang Chu did not hear these comments, but he had long realized the severity of the task. He stood in front of the team and looked at Qin Yuan silently, with only one thought in his heart: "I must not disappoint the instructor and the recruit company. This is not only an opportunity, but also a responsibility."
When the training ended, Zhang Chu was left alone and learned in detail about the background of the simulation mission with the mission commander: the enemy is a team of experienced "drug dealers" simulation, with complex camp structure, excellent equipment, and anti-reconnaissance capabilities. The goal of the simulation mission is to complete the entire process of reconnaissance, infiltration, ambush and destruction through collaboration within 48 hours.
Listening to the detailed description of the task, Zhang Chu's palms were sweating slightly, but his eyes became more and more firm.
The drill commander stood in front of the holographic map, and the lights projected a three-dimensional terrain model of the drug dealer camp, and the undulating mountains seemed intricate. His eyes were sharp, his voice was cold and hard, with a chilling majesty.
"This simulation mission is a high-intensity replica of actual combat. The drug dealer camp is located in the hinterland of the mountains. The terrain is complex, the forest is dense, and the sight is limited. The enemy has rich firepower configurations." The commander pointed to a marking point on the map. "This is the peripheral reconnaissance post, your first obstacle. They have arranged secret observation points and laser alarm systems. If discovered, the enemy will quickly activate the defense procedures and send a patrol team to intercept them."
He continued to draw several red lines on the map: "This is an ambush area arranged by the enemy, covered by crossfire. Once it enters, the survival rate is less than 10%. In the core area, the enemy has set up infrared sensing traps, fake target points and simulated landmines. If you are not careful, your team will be wiped out by the entire army."
Zhang Chu stood in the queue, staring at the holographic map. His gaze moved with the commander's explanation, and the more he looked, his brows became tighter. He noticed that the mountains on the map not only had natural narrow passages, but also had a large number of dead corners and ambush points. This complex environment was a great test for the team's reconnaissance and infiltration.
"The core stronghold of the enemy," the commander pointed to a point marked as the "target area" in the center of the map, "is the command center of the drug dealers. The defense here is tight, not only with the advantages of the highlands, but also with the snipers who are armed. Once you enter this area, you will face the strongest fire suppression."
He turned around and glanced at the players in the venue for a circle, his voice aggravated: "Your mission is to reconnaise enemy camps within 48 hours, complete infiltration, destroy core strongholds and seize intelligence boxes. At the same time, all team members must ensure that they survive as much as possible. This is not only a test of your tactical ability, but also a comprehensive test of your psychology and teamwork ability."
Zhang Chu held the notebook in his hand tightly, and a huge wave was stirred up in his heart. The difficulty of this mission was far beyond his expectations. Infrared traps, ambush areas, snipers, fake target points... Every detail is full of danger, and the entire mission has almost no fault tolerance space.
"Note," the commander's voice interrupted Zhang Chu's thoughts, "The enemy's veteran team is not only good at ambushing, but also proficient in anti-reconnaissance techniques. Any minor mistakes of yours will be quickly captured and will cause a violent blow. Anyone in the team will fall behind will increase the danger to others. Remember, this is a high-intensity simulation mission, but it is also a test of whether you can truly compete with actual combat in the future."
When Zhang Chu heard this, his fists clenched tighter. He felt an invisible pressure, but at the same time, his heart gradually calmed down. He understood that this drill was not only a test of his skills, but also a real team life and death simulation. Every decision and every action may determine the success or failure of the team, and even the "life and death" in the simulation.
The commander put down his baton, glanced around, and added: "I emphasize again that this is not a stage for individual heroes. If any of you want to complete the task alone, it will only lead to the failure of the team. What is tested here is your calmness, cooperation and execution of tactics."
Zhang Chu took a deep breath, raised his head, and his eyes gradually became firm. He silently said to himself in his heart: This time, I must learn to listen and must work closely with my teammates. Single-handedness will only harm others and yourself. This is a team battle.
"Zhang Chu," the commander suddenly called out.
"Come!" Zhang Chu quickly stood up straight.
The commander's eyes swept over him like a knife, and said in a cold tone: "You are the representative of the recruit company. Your performance is not only your personal matter, but also the honor of the recruit company. If you show any impetuousness and conceit in the mission, your team will be quickly defeated."
Zhang Chu straightened his back and nodded vigorously: "Yes, I guarantee to complete the task!"
The commander did not say anything more, but continued to arrange the division of labor in other groups. However, Zhang Chu's heart had already stirred up. He felt a sense of tension that he had never felt before, and was even more stressful than the previous shooting assessment and tactical confrontation. But deep in this pressure, he also felt a faint fighting spirit. This was not only a training, but a proof - proving whether he could really escape the immaturity of the recruits and become a qualified soldier.
After the meeting, Zhang Chu silently walked to the mission map and carefully studied the structure of the drug dealer camp again. His eyes were deep and focused, and his fingers gently stroked each ambush point and trap position, and his mind quickly deduced possible tactical plans.
The atmosphere was a little nervous in the simple combat room before the drill.
Zhang Chu sat next to the simple wooden table, and opened a map with detailed marking of the terrain and target area in front of him. He lowered his head to study the layout of the enemy camp, and his ears were whispering discussions from the members of the assault team. Zhang Chu was the youngest and only recruit in the group. The others were veterans with many years of practical experience, and their eyes were filled with a hint of scrutiny of him.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "According to the task allocation, our goal is to infiltrate the periphery of the enemy camp, attract enemy firepower, and create breakthrough opportunities for other groups." A veteran said, his voice low but loud, "but the opponent has anti-reconnaissance ability, and the periphery is not easy to deploy. If you act rashly, you may be wiped out."
Zhang Chu raised his head, his tone was calm and firm: "I suggest to attract the enemy by dispersing and lurking. We can divide it into two groups. The first group is feinting in front, creating sounds, and seducing the enemy to expose the fire point; the second group is ambushed on the flanks and waiting for an opportunity to move. Once the enemy's main force is attracted, we will launch a raid immediately."
For a moment, the room became quiet. Several veterans looked at each other, and some people frowned, and seemed to disagree. Zhou Sen, the oldest veteran, sat on the other end of the table, squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Chu, with a calm tone but a little doubtful: "Your ideas sound good, but dispersed and lurking means that the team will be split. Once the communication is lost or a group is exposed, the consequences will be more serious. Can you make sure that everyone's actions are absolutely accurate?"
Zhang Chu knew that the strategy he proposed had certain risks, but he insisted on his judgment: "I understand that dispersing and lurking is risky, but the enemy has three layers of firepower defense. If all of us concentrate on our actions, it is easy to be suppressed. I think dispersal can minimize the enemy's attention and gain more opportunities for us."
Another veteran Li Kun interrupted: "Zhang Chu, your tactics are theoretically feasible, but the problem lies in execution. The drill time and environment are very limited, and we cannot take risks with the safety of the team members. This is not tactical confrontation training, but simulated actual combat. Every mistake in the step will lead to the failure of the task."
Zhang Chu felt a little nervous when he heard this. He could feel the doubts of the veterans about him, especially the strategies proposed by a new recruit company representative, who did not seem to be completely trusting. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his tone: "I don't deny everyone's experience, but I think that instead of rashly approaching the enemy's defense line, it is better to use the terrain and the enemy's attention to create opportunities. Dispersed action is the most in line with the actual situation at present."
Zhou Sen knocked on the table and frowned: "Zhang Chu, you have a lot of ideas, but your problem is that you rely too much on tactical design and ignore uncontrollable factors in actual combat. You must understand that the enemy is not a puppet and will not act according to your plan."
Zhang Chu was speechless for a moment. It was not that he had thought about these things, but when faced with experienced veterans, it was difficult for him to completely convince them about his ideas. He clenched his fists, and his inner unwillingness and pressure were intertwined.
At this time, Li Kun looked at Zhou Sen and whispered: "Since it's a drill, it's better to let him try it. Let the young man take on the feint attack, and we squatted and see if it works."
Zhou Sen frowned slightly, nodded after pondering for a moment. His eyes fell on Zhang Chu, and his tone was a little warning: "Okay, then try it as you plan. But remember, if any mistakes occur, the entire assault team will be 'annihilated', and you will bear the responsibility."
Zhang Chu felt the weight of this sentence, but he did not retreat. He took a deep breath and responded solemnly: "Yes, I understand. I will do my best and will not let everyone down."
After the discussion, the assault team quickly began to prepare. Zhang Chu was still nervous inside, but more of a heavy sense of responsibility. He knew that this was not just a drill, but also an opportunity for him to prove whether he could cooperate with the veterans.
When the mission was about to begin, Zhou Sen walked to Zhang Chu and patted his shoulder: "Young man, tactics can be imaginative, but when executing, you must play steadily. Don't let your teammates clean up the mess for you."
Zhang Chu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I will definitely act cautiously."
The drill officially begins.
The forest was silent, and the wind blew the leaves and made a rustling sound. The assault team hid in the dense bushes and advanced slowly. Zhang Chu was at the front of the team, his eyes were sharp, and his hand holding the rifle was slightly pressed. He tried hard to keep himself calm, although he felt a hint of nervousness in his heart.
"Everyone keeps in formation and pay attention to your feet." Zhou Sen whispered, his tone calm and warning.
Zhang Chu nodded and turned around and gestured to the team members to continue moving forward. He led the team forward according to his tactical plan, trying to get close to the enemy's first reconnaissance whistle from the flank to create a sound to lure the enemy. However, as they approached the target, a feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged into his heart.
In the bushes, Li Kun was following Zhang Chu, with careful steps. But the next second, his boots stepped on a thin wire. In an instant, the hidden infrared alarm was triggered, and an "beep" alarm sound came from around him.
"Oh no!" Zhou Sen shouted in a low voice, and everyone immediately squatted down to hide. However, this momentary exposure had attracted the attention of the enemy's anti-reconnaissance team.
"Bang! Bang!" Two gunshots came from the left, and the simulation bullet accurately hit Li Kun and another team member's chest. Their simulation equipment immediately emitted a red light and declared "dead".
"The enemy is here! Retreat!" Zhou Sen gave the order, and the remaining team members quickly dispersed and hidden.
Zhang Chu lay behind a tree, and his hand holding the rifle had already oozed cold sweat. His ears were filled with footsteps and the echoes of simulated gunshots. He vaguely saw the enemy team approaching quickly from a distance.
"Zhang Chu, stay hidden! Don't act rashly!" Zhou Sen whispered the order through the intercom.
Zhang Chu nodded and tried to calm himself down. Only then did he realize that the enemy's anti-reconnaissance ability was far beyond his imagination, and even their smallest movements were captured. His plan - dispersed lurking and feinting - seemed pale and powerless under this high-intensity anti-reconnaissance.
Five minutes later, the assault team successfully retreated to a temporary safety point. Zhang Chu leaned behind the tree, gasping for breath, with a hint of shock and self-blame in his eyes.
Zhou Sen looked at him, his voice calm but with an unquestionable majesty: "Zhang Chu, do you understand now? Reconnaissance and lurking cannot be achieved by thinking alone. You underestimate the enemy's anti-reconnaissance ability and overestimate your plan."
Zhang Chu raised his head, opened his mouth, trying to defend something, but in the end he didn't say it. He lowered his head and his voice was deep: "Yes, my plan is not comprehensive enough... I'm sorry, I have implicated the team."
"The wrong tactics are not the key," Zhou Sen continued, "the key is that you didn't listen to the team's opinions. If we hadn't retreated in time just now, your team might have been wiped out."
Zhang Chu's heart suddenly sank. He recalled the doubts raised by the veterans during the tactical discussion, but ignored them because of his confidence. He thought the strategy of dispersing and lurking was clever enough, but ignored the uncontrollable variables in actual execution, especially when facing an elite anti-reconnaissance team like the enemy.
Zhou Sen glanced at him and his tone eased a little: "Zhang Chu, you have potential, but you must understand that tactics are dynamic and cannot be unchanged. The most important thing is to learn to listen to the team's opinions rather than sticking to your own ideas."
Zhang Chu took a deep breath and nodded vigorously: "Yes, I understand."
