Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Tao Chengyu's eyes went dark when he saw this scene. He also realized that this war simulation was extremely real. The range of artillery was limited and needed the protection of ground troops. These were not NPCs who could provide support to him at any time, but his own comrades.

If this was a real battlefield, he would have probably made a fatal mistake, causing heavy losses to his comrades.

Then he realized that he had to be cautious when sending out reconnaissance planes. Although reconnaissance planes had a longer range and the airport was located in a place that was difficult to be attacked, if he conducted reconnaissance frequently, the airport might be discovered by the enemy or tracked by enemy reconnaissance planes. If the location of his airport was exposed, the planes might be blown to pieces by the enemy before they even took off.

But it was too late to realize this now. The destruction of the artillery position meant that the most convenient artillery support on the battlefield disappeared. He did not dare to be caught by the instructor's troops, otherwise the two sides would fall into a stalemate, his coordinates would be exposed, and he would suffer heavy losses if the enemy covered him with firepower.

Well, there was still a chance to call for air support and bombers, but both sides had only one chance to call for bombers. If he couldn't seize this opportunity, he would lose. If he could make good use of this opportunity and carry out an effective bombing in the battle between the two sides, he would still have a chance to turn defeat into victory. As long as he killed the opponent's main ground force, it would be meaningless even if the opponent had the opportunity to call for firepower support.

However, he soon discovered that the instructor was more sinister than he had imagined. After his reconnaissance team encountered the enemy, they soon discovered that the enemy had only one mecha, which was fighting and retreating, hiding in the jungle to deal with them. There seemed to be bunkers and caves dug by soldiers around, and many times the reconnaissance team could not find where the enemy came from after hiding in them.

After encountering the enemy, the coordinates of their reconnaissance team were quickly exposed, and then they were hit by a round of fire coverage. With the artillery positions firing, the bipedal mecha corps was simply unable to resist.

Several encounters resulted in heavy losses. The initial advantage in manpower was long gone, but this also allowed him to find the location of the enemy's artillery positions. As long as he could destroy the enemy's artillery positions, he could turn around the disadvantage.

However, after he launched the attack, he found that the opponent had divided half of its troops to protect the positions. Faced with his large army, the battle lines of both sides became deadlocked. After the artillery was prepared, it soon launched a round of artillery fire, forcing Tao Chengyu, who suffered heavy casualties, to command his troops to retreat.

Now he was barely alive, and the instructor quickly taught him what smooth command meant. He relied on digging bunkers, occupying advantageous terrain, encircling enemies, and using more troops to defeat the smaller force. Even though his only remaining main force huddled together, they were quickly broken up and annihilated one by one.

Only then did he realize that even if the instructor did not destroy his artillery position right away, he would never be his opponent if the two sides engaged in a head-on confrontation in the jungle.

The battle lasted for an entire afternoon, and the final result was that Tao Chengyu was defeated. Not only was the base destroyed by the enemy, but the troops under his command were also shaved bald and annihilated. The instructor lost only the two mechas that were used as bait at the beginning. The other students could see the battle process on the projection screen. Although they felt that their classmates played a bit poorly, they put themselves in their shoes and couldn't help but look unhappy if they were replaced. Obviously, if they were replaced, there would probably be no better result.

"Each of you has one chance to challenge me every week and defeat me once. Even if you have passed the training, if you cannot defeat me even once, then you will always be in the reserve. The Republic will not allow you to go to the battlefield and waste the lives of soldiers."

Although everyone was not convinced, they could understand that as officers, they were responsible for the lives of every soldier. It was true that casualties were inevitable in war, but even if there were sacrifices, they had to be worthwhile, rather than being cannon fodder and dying in the trenches. Next, no student wasted their chance to challenge the instructor. They had already realized that their current skills were too far behind the instructor, and challenging him now would only bring humiliation upon themselves. Students could fight each other, so the mock battles between them soon began.

Although Tao Chengyu was a little disappointed after being defeated, he quickly recovered. The instructor was able to achieve such a miraculous command skill, and only those who defeated the instructor could graduate, which meant that most officers could achieve this level. He also had a chance in the future, which meant that he had great hope for revenge.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get excited and asked, "Instructor, what is your level among the regular officers?"

The instructor was not offended by the question, but thought for a moment and said: "From the actual combat record, I am not much different from other officers, because most of the enemies faced by the army so far are beasts. Beasts have no intelligence and are easy to deal with. There are very few casualties in the army, so it is difficult to see who has a higher level of command.

But judging from our battle records in the simulator, my level should be below average, otherwise I would not have required you to defeat me as a requirement for your assessment. If you can defeat me in a battle, you will be considered to have the average command level of an officer."

The instructor's answer immediately piqued the interest of the reserve officers. Some of them raised their hands and asked, "How strong is the most powerful officer in the army?"

The instructor fell into reminiscence. He remembered the practical lesson his teacher gave him when the Republic was first established.

"The strongest one should be our supreme commander, right? At least I have never seen such an exaggerated command. Fifty officers from the same class as us fought against him alone. Everyone had the same number of troops as him, but none of us saw his main force from beginning to end. We even accidentally injured each other many times because of the misunderstandings he created.

The result of the final confrontation was that we were completely wiped out, while the troops under the command of the Supreme Commander suffered no casualties. To be honest, even after we graduate, 50 of us will still be no match for the Supreme Commander. He is so strong that it is suffocating. "
