Soldiers Assault: Veteran Special Recruits

Liang Hang prepared very quickly, which shows what efficiency is.

By the time Deputy Commander Zhong and his team arrived at the helipad, the prepared sightseeing helicopter was already in place and its propellers had already started spinning.

A few minutes later.

A sightseeing helicopter came over the Tianhe Peninsula, and watching the exercises below from the sky gave a more vivid and shocking look.

The entire exercise was in full view.

The yellow dust raised by the marching tanks and the black smoke raised by the exploding artillery shells were like dragons flying from the ground to the sky.

Being at the exercise site in person makes the experience more realistic, and Deputy Commander Zhong, you will be more involved.

"What's the current altitude?" asked Deputy Commander Zhong.

"300 meters." Captain Liang replied.

Deputy Commander Zhong was not satisfied with this altitude. It was too high to see clearly. The various details of the firefight on the battlefield could not be seen at all at this altitude.

So he gave the order: "Go, tell the pilot to fly lower."

"Yes, Chief."

Yang Han immediately stood up and ran to the cab.

The plane's altitude dropped to two hundred meters, and various battle details came into view.

After the towed heavy artillery arrived at the combat area, it began firing on the spot. The shells, as thick as thighs, were fired with a loud bang.

It landed on the designated artillery range, raising clouds of dust and smoke.

Armored vehicles covered the infantry as they charged forward, with bullets blasting and artillery shells roaring all the way, clearing the shooting range ahead and advancing with overwhelming force.

A large number of infantry formed a formation and advanced forward behind the tanks.

There are also special types of troops that are gradually being deployed into battle.

In this vigorous battle, Gaocheng, who assembled a large number of infantry and tanks to charge the mountain in a coordinated manner and used a small force to encircle the enemy from behind, finally gained the upper hand.

The special reconnaissance company that climbed up from the back mountain was the first to reach the top of the mountain when the enemy was almost defenseless.

Captain Gao Da, who was also watching from the helicopter and was more optimistic about Gao Cheng, saw the reconnaissance company going up the mountain and shouted excitedly, "Look, look, Gao Cheng's troops have successfully reached the top of the mountain."

Deputy Commander Zhong immediately turned his gaze toward the top of the mountain, just in time to see dozens of soldiers from the reconnaissance company rushing to the top of the mountain shouting and pulling down the green flag symbolizing victory.

Jackie Chan's armored forces were a step slower, or strictly speaking, they were only less than a minute slower.

The one who gets the green flag first wins.

Not to mention being one minute slower, even being one second slower will result in a loss.

Seeing through the telescope that his men had already obtained the green chess piece, Gao Cheng heaved a long sigh of relief and contacted Jackie Chan's operations department via radio, saying, "Jackie Chan, it's such a pity that your troops were one step behind."

"hehe."

Jackie Chan smiled, picked up the microphone and replied: "According to the rules, you did win."

"From the tone of your voice, I can tell you're not convinced." Gao Cheng was very happy after winning and joked with a laugh.

"I accept it, but I won't admit defeat."

Jackie Chan is indeed a man who refuses to admit defeat. If they were on a battlefield, the only one left would be Jackie Chan.

Because Jackie Chan led the armored troops, and the heavy artillery troops were already in position below, while the senior leaders only grabbed the flag in pursuit of speed, and all those who came up were infantry.

These dozens of infantrymen from the reconnaissance company were as fragile as paper in front of tanks and cannons.

If the two sides were still enemies at this time, it would not take more than a few minutes for all the people coming up from Gaocheng to disappear.

That’s why Jackie Chan said Gao Cheng won because of the rules.

"Okay, whatever you say. Anyway, just don't forget the celebration party, haha."

Gao Cheng said one last sentence and ended the call.

Jackie Chan slowly put down the microphone. His expression looked very calm. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad. He seemed like an outsider.

Long Xiaoyun, who was standing next to him, thought Jackie Chan was upset and quickly comforted him, "You didn't lose. In fact, in my opinion, you are the winner."

"Don't comfort me, I'm not that fragile."

Jackie Chan grinned and stood up and said, "Let's go. We've been tired all day. It's time to go back to the camp, take a shower, have a good meal and rest."

"Are you really okay?" Long Xiaoyun asked with concern.

"What can happen to me? It's just an exercise. I, Jackie Chan, am not that useless." Jackie Chan smiled, said nothing more and left.

Long Xiaoyun still felt that Jackie Chan was pretending and hiding his discomfort in his heart.

She decided to help Jackie Chan.

After sorting out the relevant information of the Operations Department, she immediately went to the division headquarters guesthouse and directly found Deputy Commander Zhong who had just returned.

"Commander, I have some ideas and would like to report them to you." Long Xiaoyun was very direct.

"Go ahead."

Deputy Commander Zhong was a little confused, but he agreed to the request.

"I think the troops participating in the battle have changed, and the way to win should also change. Whether or not to get the green flag should not be the only criterion for measuring victory or defeat."

Facing Deputy Commander Zhong and Minister Wang, Long Xiaoyun was not at all nervous and said with reason: "Although Comrade Gao Cheng won the green flag, looking at the whole combat process, there were obvious mistakes.

Jackie Chan did lose according to the rules of the exercise, but looking at his entire combat procedures, he had obvious advantages in many areas.

Comparing with modern combat concepts, I think Jackie Chan's tactics are more desirable.

That’s all. My report is complete.”

Long Xiaoyun spoke a lot, but Deputy Commander Zhong did not interrupt him. He only walked out from behind Suzhou after Long Xiaoyun finished speaking.

He replied very seriously: “Comrade Long Xiaoyun, I am really happy to hear what you said.

Regardless of whether your analysis is right or wrong, at least it shows that you are thinking hard and want to improve, rather than just being a spectator. "

Deputy Commander Zhong first praised Long Xiaoyun and did not immediately comment on his remarks.

Instead, I found a middleman.

"Minister Wang, please tell me what you think." Deputy Commander Zhong said with a smile.

"I really cannot agree with some of Captain Lin's views." Minister Wang said bluntly.

"Oh, really? Tell me about it." Deputy Commander Zhong said with interest.

"Yes!"

Minister Wang replied: “No matter what you say, you have to admit that Gao Cheng knows how to fight and is a rare commander.

He not only possesses modern military qualities, but also has rich experience in combat and leading troops.

In this actual military confrontation, we can clearly see that his advantages and strengths have been fully demonstrated.

In contrast, Jackie Chan relies too much on data information and computer analysis.

There is no complete modern command and control system to assist it, let alone a complete digital system to support it.

It is difficult to achieve the required accuracy by relying solely on general online information and intelligence sources that are not completely reliable.

Jackie Chan's unwillingness to accept the loss only shows that he is confident in the future, or more precisely, in the future information system. Perhaps in a few years, when the technology matures, he may be able to win.

But at least today, it cannot be said that his exercise was not a failure. War is not a business, where you can bargain.

Losing is losing, winning is winning.”

Minister Wang analyzed the situation from a rational and fair perspective, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with what he said.

But the purpose of the exercise is not victory or defeat; victory or defeat is only one of the criteria for judging.

Selecting a suitable commander for the First Division, that is, a commander who is more adaptable to the future information and digital age, is the first element of the exercise.

Minister Wang, who considered absolute fairness and justice, overlooked this most important point.

On the contrary, Deputy Commander Zhong who was listening nearby originally thought that there was nothing wrong with Gao Cheng's victory. Long Xiaoyun came to speak up for Jackie Chan, looking like he couldn't stand the loss.

As a result, after listening to Minister Wang's remarks, his mind became clear.

Especially one of Minister Wang’s words -

If the technology matures in a few years, Jackie Chan might be able to win.

These words touched Deputy Commander Zhong's heart completely.

Because Deputy Commander Zhong doesn't want a winner, a winner who can use old, mature tactical ideas to win the exercise.

Instead, we need a division commander who can adapt to future wars and the high-tech era.

The core point of Minister Wang's comments is that Jackie Chan's excessive reliance on high technology led to his failure due to insufficient technical equipment.

If Jackie Chan could be given the right equipment, he would be able to win the military exercise with an absolute advantage.

This kind of Jackie Chan.

This is the division commander that Deputy Commander Zhong needs.

Deputy Commander Zhong was in great turmoil. For the first time, he hesitated between choosing a winner or a suitable division commander.

So he lowered his head and thought about his own things, not paying any attention to the two people who were talking.

Long Xiaoyun is an absolute supporter of Jackie Chan. She is also a pursuer of high-tech equipment. She believes that future wars will be high-tech wars.

At the same time, he also had a clearer idea of ​​what kind of commander the First Division needed.

Therefore, he completely disagreed with Minister Wang's comments, so he immediately said: "Minister Wang, can I refute you?"

"Of course you can. It's freedom of speech." Minister Wang did not refuse.

"OK OK."

Long Xiaoyun was about to refute, but was interrupted by Deputy Commander Zhong, who smiled and said, "Comrade Long Xiaoyun, go back first. We can continue your debate some other time."

"Yes."

Deputy Commander Zhong had spoken, so even though Long Xiaoyun still felt a little unwilling, he had to hold it all back. He saluted and turned to leave.

After not getting what he wanted from Deputy Commander Zhong, Long Xiaoyun left the division headquarters and went to find Jackie Chan.

At this time, Jackie Chan was on the rooftop of the camp dormitory building, looking at the sea one kilometer away. Long Xiaoyun saw him as soon as he came in and went straight to the rooftop.

Long Xiaoyun didn't say anything, just stood quietly beside Jackie Chan.

"I thought I could let go and be happy for the old company commander's victory. That was his dream, and I had promised to help him. But I don't know why, I just can't be happy."

Jackie Chan knew who it was without even looking or smelling it. He seemed to be talking or muttering to himself.

"The reason is very simple, because you are a soldier, and soldiers are not allowed to lose in battle." Long Xiaoyun said.

"The world doesn't need a failed soldier, even if he only fails this once." Jackie Chan said calmly without any emotional fluctuations.

"This is what Patton often said, but have you ever thought that even Patton himself experienced a lot of failures in his life? He repeatedly said that the proper fate of a professional soldier is to be hit by the last bullet in the last battle and die cleanly, but..."

"But his life ended in a car accident."

Jackie Chan interrupted Long Xiaoyun and added: "If measured by his own standards, it should be said to be a huge failure."

"So you didn't fail." Long Xiaoyun said seriously.

"I think I will accept it calmly."

Jackie Chan didn't have much emotion to begin with, he was just a little depressed, and now that he had someone to talk to, he instantly felt better again.

Then he raised his wrist to check the time, and said as he walked towards the stairs: "Okay, I should go now. Thank you for coming all the way here. I'll thank you again next time."

"Is there any emergency?" Long Xiaoyun asked.

"It's not an urgent matter. We just agreed before that no matter what the final result is, I will have a drink with the old company commander. We can't break the appointment."

Jackie Chan answered and then invited, "How about you come with me?"

"Okay, let's go."

Long Xiaoyun followed happily without hesitation.

Jackie Chan originally just wanted to show his appreciation and didn't really want to invite Long Xiaoyun. After all, they were all men drinking together, and it would not be convenient for him, a woman.

But Long Xiaoyun agreed so readily that it was impossible to refuse.

I can only carry this little tail with me helplessly.

Section Chief Gui, who had been planning on the other side, found Wu Yiwen at this time and went straight to the point when they met: "Deputy Commander Wu, Jackie Chan's performance this time was too strange and contrary to his usual style.

I think someone must have done something wrong here, according to my analysis..."

"Hey, you analyze this and that later."

Deputy Commander Wu interrupted Gui Pingyuan. He was tired of listening to Gui Pingyuan's flattering analysis and advised him, "Focus more on your work. Doing your work well is more useful than analyzing anything else."

After saying this, Deputy Commander Wu got up and left.

Gao Cheng won the exercise and he is in a very bad mood now.

"Deputy Commander Wu, Deputy Commander Wu..."

Gui Pingyuan immediately chased after him and said, "I heard a piece of news. Did you know that Jackie Chan held a celebration banquet for Gao Cheng?"

"What, a celebration banquet? And Jackie Chan is treating?" Deputy Commander Wu was very surprised.

The loser held a celebration party for the winner. This was the first time he heard of such a bizarre thing. It was even weirder than a cat wishing a happy new year to a mouse.

"So you didn't know. I just heard it too. I was at the Tianbao Hotel." Gui Pingyuan said.

"Okay, I get it."

Deputy Commander Wu pretended that I was not interested, waved his hand and strode away.

In fact, the more he thought about it, the more weird it seemed to him, and he felt that there was something fishy going on. Combined with what Gui Pingyuan had just said, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was not right.

In order to find out what happened inside, Deputy Commander Wu decided to go and investigate in person.

As for not being invited, it doesn’t matter at all.

He has plenty of excuses!
