Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

“I know that every general cares about his soldiers. But you must remember that only by training them to the death can they create miracles on the battlefield.”

Fortunately, today there was no scorching sun, but instead a torrential downpour.

The soldiers were very happy.

However, the exam was postponed to the afternoon. After the sun came out, they began the exam in the same environment.

After much effort, the exam finally ended. Everyone nervously handed in their papers. That night, the soldiers couldn't sleep, worried about the results.

Lin Beichen looked at the test papers. Although some people's scores were not ideal, at least they all passed.

"Well, we can't be too harsh. They still have the ability to learn. Although we can't train them all to be top students, at least they can pass the exams without any problem."

Although there are rankings this time, and there are still five finalists, the situation is different now.

"Alright! Things are almost settled now. I've arranged for instructors to lead your training, and the lessons will be different every day."

Everyone was finally able to train properly, but they discovered that this training was much more difficult than the syllabus suggested.

Although they did not experience back pain, they found the physically demanding training methods difficult to accept.

That night, several soldiers couldn't stand it anymore and came to his office.

"Instructor, we just wanted to ask if all the training from now on will be conducted in this manner?"

"Are you feeling very tired?"

"That's right!"...

At that moment, everyone responded in unison.

"Actually, we were all very excited when we first saw this training outline."

Finally, we're getting to experience new combat methods, but I didn't expect the physical demands to be so rigorous. We're mentally strong, but we're worried our bodies won't be able to handle it.

Lin Beichen smiled slightly.

"Now I ask you, if I weren't your instructor, you wouldn't belong to this army."

Instead, they become terrorists, living a life constantly on the edge of a knife. Would you choose to train yourselves to be even more formidable?

The soldiers nodded in agreement.

"That's right. Why did I call you pampered soldiers? The reason is simple."

Until now, you haven't truly realized what it means to be born into this world and to defend your country. Is it just empty talk?

It seems they haven't truly taken it seriously yet, which greatly diminishes the significance of the training.

"Okay, tomorrow you can suspend training. I'll show you a movie, and after you've watched it, each of you can write a review for me."

The following day, all the soldiers gathered in the auditorium for a truly epic film to be screened.

Although this is a domestically produced masterpiece that has received a warm response, the impact it has had is considerable.

During the film screening, some soldiers began to shed tears; they had never imagined that the feeling would be so heart-wrenching.

He Shuixing was extremely surprised.

"You're giving patriotic education."

“They have no concept of enduring hardship. To be honest, although our army has always emphasized this, it is not easy to actually do it. When we talk to them about wilderness survival, they turn a deaf ear. Then let them see how the older generation fought.”

Clearly, this artistic technique deeply moved everyone, especially the final scene...

The soldiers were heavy-hearted and found it hard to accept after watching the film. It was a two-part film, each more tragic than the last.

After leaving the auditorium, everyone's faces lost their luster.

Today's lunch was unusually lavish, but the soldiers, for some reason, couldn't eat it.

"What's wrong? Usually, you guys fight over these things, so why aren't you touching them today?"

Lin Beichen looked at everyone.

"report!"

One of them stood up.

"The older generation ate such hard-earned food, yet you're treating us to such a fine meal today, could it be..."

"That's right! I just want to tell you that the dishes on this table today were obtained by our predecessors with their lives. If you don't eat them, it would be disrespectful to our predecessors."

Sure enough, after hearing this, the soldiers began to eat heartily, but tears kept flowing.

In the afternoon, instead of scheduling regular training, they had everyone write reflections on what they had seen.

The soldiers who were moved wrote something different; although some of them had mediocre writing skills, they all wrote from the heart.

After that, no one complained about the training anymore, and clearly, the training was a success.

However, Chen Bin rushed over.

"Lin Beichen, we have a mission."

He walked up to Lin Beichen with the order in his hand.

"Take a look at this first. This is an order specifically given to you by your superiors. Even I am not qualified to look at it."

Lin Beichen was shocked after reading it. It turned out that this was an extremely difficult rescue mission, one that required pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.

Moreover, the mission was at sea, so they had to find a suitable opportunity, and the navy was ready.

Who are you planning to send this time?

"I have a question. Are we going to launch a beach landing directly on that island this time?"

"Correct!"

This is the specific information we have received so far.

"it is good!"

Lin Beichen immediately sounded the alarm, and all personnel quickly assembled.

"Everyone, since the new formation has not yet been formed, you will need to stick to your original formations and follow me into battle."

Hearing that battle was imminent, everyone was filled with enthusiasm. Having watched that movie, they all longed to go to the battlefield.

"Listen up, everyone, our logistical support will be top-notch. We're heading to an island for a beach landing."

As required by the mission, they not only had to conduct an amphibious landing, but also had to do everything possible to rescue the Chinese hostages on the merchant ship.

This time, everyone was full of energy. They all understood that this was undoubtedly a great opportunity to showcase themselves, and each of them had made ample mental preparations.

"I heard it's a rather large island, but the specifics are still unclear. We'll have to board the warship to find out what's going on. This is our first time stepping onto the country's aircraft carrier, so remember, don't act like country bumpkins visiting the Grand View Garden, like you've never seen anything like it before."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, but the matter did indeed urgently need to be addressed. They quickly boarded the helicopter and were subsequently transported one by one to the naval base.

The first person Lin Beichen met was the base commander.

"Lin Beichen, I've heard about you before. I was following the special forces competition closely. Your team was able to solve problems in the shortest time, which was really impressive! Alright, let's not talk about that now, let's get to the point. Look at this."

The commander showed us an island surrounded by water on all sides, the size of which was truly astonishing.

"This is an island in international waters, and I wonder how they found it. The current situation is that a large cruise ship has been hijacked by maritime terrorists, who are demanding that the ship sail to this island."

"A large cruise ship?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Beichen was somewhat surprised. How big must the island be to accommodate so many people?

However, saying all this now is pointless. The current situation is that these terrorists are attempting to force many countries around the world to release their accomplices by hijacking large cruise ships.

If they do not agree, they will shoot and kill all the hostages two days later.

It turns out that this terrorist organization had previously suffered heavy losses after being wiped out by another country. Enraged, the remaining forces came to this island and hijacked the cruise ship.

"Ugh!"

Lin Beichen felt somewhat helpless.

"This operation involves not only us, but also the United States. In other words, it is a joint operation using aircraft carriers from several countries as large combat platforms."

"Joint operations? Then we'll need to establish a true joint command. Let's hurry over there; maybe we'll still have a chance."

"That's right! I'll be going with you this time."

Chen Bin led everyone directly onto the aircraft carrier and arrived at the designated sea area. At this moment, it was like a world ship expo, with navies from all over the world gathered together, and even countries without aircraft carriers sent warships.

The United States initiated this operation, and Francis reappeared before everyone.

"Oh, it's an old friend."

Francis was speechless when he saw Lin Beichen and the others; he hadn't expected that Lin Beichen would be leading the team again.

"Is your country short of people? Why do they always send you?"

"Haha! What are you saying? Doesn't your country have anyone else? Don't they always let you go first?"

The two men looked at each other, speechless for a moment. Just then, the chief referee appeared before them.

"You two always start fighting whenever you meet. Didn't expect to see me here again, did you?

The two were startled, not expecting the chief referee to suddenly appear. The familiar feeling was there, but something just felt off.

"Alright! Now that everything is pretty much ready, let's stop worrying about those pointless issues. We need to stick to the original plan; that's the most important thing right now."

It can be said that the current conditions are the same for everyone; how to proceed requires further discussion and resolution.

“Mr. Francis, according to the requirements of your Ministry of Defense, you will not be the commander-in-chief here this time!”

In the past, Francis would have been furious. But the person in front of him was Lin Beichen, so the situation was different.

"Don't worry, I'll follow your instructions."

They arrived at the central command room.

"The current situation is this: according to helicopter reconnaissance, we have discovered that they have deployed defenses throughout the entire island!"

"entire?"

Lin Beichen smiled slightly after hearing this.

"Then this problem is easy to solve. Don't worry so much, let's start from the beginning."

Judging from the current situation, the conflicts brought about by this matter are completely different from those in the past.

"My point is simple: since the enemy plans to deploy defenses here, we don't need to worry too much. If the entire circular area is under defense, then they definitely don't have many personnel."

Lin Beichen looked at the big screen thoughtfully.

How many of us are currently on standby here?

"Three hundred! The number is still increasing, but tomorrow is the deadline. Many countries may not be able to make it in time. This is all the people we have."

"Approximately how many troops does the enemy have?"...

Lin Beichen hurriedly asked, this matter must be clarified, after all, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.

"There are quite a few of them, almost a thousand in total."

one thousand?
Wouldn't there be more than three thousand innocent civilians on the island?
"That's right!"

Moreover, there is another thorny problem. It is said that due to the island's limited capacity, only a portion of the people have been able to land on the island so far, and many others are still stranded on the ships.

"So that means there are people on the ship whom we need to protect, right?"

The other side nodded in response. It seemed the situation was becoming increasingly dire. A hasty amphibious landing was clearly not an option.

"However, there aren't many terrorists on board, only a few hundred. To be honest, most of the people on board can't go back directly, as the key figures are on the island. Their intentions are clear: if they don't get a response by tomorrow afternoon, they'll shoot these few thousand people; if things go wrong again, they'll blow up the ship."

This is a very difficult problem. If the situation continues to deteriorate, everyone will suffer heavy losses.

Lin Beichen understood; it seemed the most urgent task was to ensure the safety of the island's inhabitants.

“I have an idea. We’re on an aircraft carrier now, right? We need to coordinate the various branches of the armed forces and infiltrate the enemy’s territory. My plan is to use the cover of night to have the paratroopers drop directly down.”

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. A direct airdrop wasn't entirely impossible, but if they were discovered, the trouble would be immense.

"Starting tomorrow afternoon, we'll organize several teams to conduct a beach landing. Our strategy is clear: if they launch an attack, we'll remain stationary on the perimeter. In short, we'll keep them constantly on their toes."

In this way, the situation can be brought under control, and unnecessary casualties can be avoided. Even if the enemy uses heavy weapons, there is no need to worry too much.

"Once our people infiltrate, their primary task is to protect the hostages and prevent further casualties. Therefore, they must report the situation on the ground to us immediately."

After hearing this, everyone understood immediately.

"This is just the first step; we need to continue our efforts. After the beach landing, we are short-handed. I'd like to ask how many more people can come to help tomorrow?"

Based on available information, it will take considerable time for teams from various countries to arrive, and it is estimated that more than 100 people will arrive tomorrow.

"it is good!"

Lin Beichen had a plan in mind.

"We are now redeploying ships from all countries, including our battle groups, and preparing them for battle at all attack points. Once the attack is launched, I will conduct full fire coverage, and we must destroy all their fortifications at the first opportunity."

Francis smiled after hearing this.

"I can do that kind of command too. It's just blow up an opening first, then everyone rushes in and solves the problem."

"You're oversimplifying things. Let me tell you, these are seasoned veterans; they certainly know how to protect themselves under artillery fire. But regardless, artillery cover is still necessary. In fact, we need to arrive at the designated location the moment the artillery fire begins, and open fire as soon as they show their faces." (End of Chapter)
