The Red Era: Living in Seclusion in a Siheyuan as a Boss

Chapter 595 "Simulation of foreign troops"!!!
The training camp is finally over.

After three whole months, Liu Xiaotao finally completed the training of 3 courses with excellent results and won five first places.

Although Liu Yong was injured, he remained in high spirits and completed all the training courses with excellent results.

Liu Xiaotao and Liu Yong became the only foreign team members who persevered to the end, and were also the only foreign team members to receive the "Honorary Soldier" medal.

When awarding Liu Xiaotao the "Honorary Soldier" medal under the "Rabbit" flag fluttering in the wind, the commander of the Venezuelan Army Academy, Nogas, said: "Uncle Sam is gone, Italian noodles are gone, and the Japanese pirates... you, the "Rabbit" is not good! I am proud of the perseverance and courage shown by the "Rabbit"!"

Just after Liu Xiaotao returned with honor, the Black Panther Special Reconnaissance Battalion was officially renamed the Southwest Region Black Panther Special Operations Battalion.

Colonel Liu Wu, who was transferred from the Northeast Region, was appointed captain of the Black Panther Special Forces Brigade.

Lieutenant Colonel Ray Kepeng, who was airdropped from a unit at the headquarters, was appointed deputy captain of the Black Panther Special Forces Brigade. Captain Liu Wu also served as deputy chief of intelligence for the Southwest Region.

Former deputy captain He Qiu also serves as chief of staff of the Black Panther Special Operations Battalion.

The only ones who returned from the training camp were Liu Xiaotao and Liu Yong, who were also recruited by "Black Panther" captain Liu Wu. They were ordered to form the army's first "simulated foreign military squadron."

The Art of War says: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat." For a long time, the training of "rabbits" has often been carried out under the circumstances where the tactical thinking, combat principles, and tactical means of both the "enemy" and us are exactly the same.

This confrontation mode cannot meet the needs of defeating opponents on future battlefields. The Rabbit has to explore new ways of actual combat confrontation training.

The foreign military simulation force, also known as the simulated blue force, has the main task of conducting real-life confrontations with the troops that take turns to come to the training center for exercises;
Use real vehicles, real guns, modern electronics, and simulation equipment of advanced foreign military equipment to provide troops with a battlefield environment close to actual combat; and test and assess the troops' combined tactical training level.

The purpose of forming such a Blue Army force is to become a "sharpening stone" to carry out effective confrontation exercises with the Red Army forces, so that the Red Army forces can taste the taste of fighting with multinational forces.

Captain Liu Wu attached great importance to the formation and training of the "simulated squadron" and kept an eye on them almost every day.

The squad organization of Liu Xiaotao and his team in the simulation strictly follows the organization sequence of foreign armies, and the training is also conducted strictly in accordance with the regulations and training outlines of foreign armies, and even Western tableware is used for dining.

During confrontation training, efforts are also made to reflect and apply foreign military combat principles and tactical means.

Since the Red Army and the Blue Army were fighting without knowing each other's troop deployment, combat means and tactical intentions, the tactical training was transformed from a unilateral contract exercise to a realistic live-fire confrontation, changing the pattern of our army's previous exercises where the Red Army always won every battle.

At the end of the year, the "Black Panther" Brigade began to formally build the "Blue Army" squadron.

They made the training of a "Blue Army" that was brutal, cunning, fickle, ruthless, and had both physical and spiritual qualities their primary issue, forcing the "Red Army" to find gaps in setbacks and to rebound from defeat.

After nearly a year of construction, a synthetic "blue army" composed of elite forces such as armor, aviation, artillery, electronic warfare and special operations appeared at the base's training ground.

Not only are their combat thinking and tactics similar to the objects they play, but even their appearance and dress are difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake. Officers and soldiers must memorize the 20-word "Blue Army" combat "secrets".

Cannons, tanks, armored vehicles and other weapons and equipment are painted with foreign military camouflage, officers and soldiers wear unique clothing identification, and homemade high-tech weapon models are so real that they are indistinguishable from the real thing.

They collected a large amount of information on foreign military dynamics, studied the latest tactical theories of foreign military, compiled dozens of combat plans, hired more than a dozen foreign military research experts to give lectures at the base, and repeatedly conducted indoor online simulation exercises and outdoor "red and blue" live-fire confrontations, enabling this synthetic "blue army squadron" to have the ability to simulate confrontations between different foreign military forces.

The selection of members for the Black Panther Special Forces' simulated foreign military squadron is extremely rigorous, and each of the selected candidates is a top elite who has been screened and emerged from numerous special forces and reconnaissance units across the region.

They not only possess excellent military skills, but also have extraordinary tactical awareness and teamwork ability, and are the undisputed leaders in the military.

On the first day of entering the simulated squadron, the new members were taken to the core area of ​​the training base.

The environment here is completely different from that of ordinary military camps, filled with high-tech equipment and complex tactical simulation scenes.

The instructors were dressed in black tactical uniforms and had sharp eyes, as if they could see into everyone's heart.

The first task is an extreme physical fitness test. Team members must complete high-intensity projects such as weight-bearing cross-country running, obstacle crossing and rock climbing within the specified time. Every second of delay may mean elimination.

In the following days, the team members were divided into several groups to conduct tactical confrontation drills.

They need to complete missions such as raids, reconnaissance and rescue in different terrains such as simulated cities, jungles and deserts.

Every action requires precision and any mistake will result in mission failure.

The team members grew rapidly under high pressure and gradually mastered how to make the best decisions in a complex environment.

In addition, the simulation squadron also pays special attention to the cultivation of psychological qualities.

Team members are often placed in extreme situations, such as being isolated, interrogated or besieged, to test their willpower and adaptability.

Every psychological challenge is like a game of dialogue with oneself, and only truly tough people can survive it.

After months of devilish training, the team members who stayed behind not only became tactical masters, but also comrades who trusted each other.

They know that the tasks ahead will be more difficult, but they are ready to meet any challenge.

Squad leader Zhang Jincheng is one of the best among them.

Zhang Jin said that like most people, his starting point was quite ordinary.

His hometown is in a small mountain village in the ancient city of Zhongyuan Province. His parents are farmers and they worked hard to earn money to support him through high school.

Fortunately, Zhang Jin said that he had good grades in school and there was no doubt that he would be admitted to university.

During the long vacation after the college entrance examination, Zhang Jincheng made a decision that would affect his whole life.

He felt that his parents were already very old, and the tuition and living expenses required for university would be a heavy burden for the family. In addition, the idea of ​​"joining the army" had always made him excited. Zhang Jin said that he did not want to regret it for the rest of his life for not having tried it.

Two years ago, Zhang Jin said he was leaving his hometown to join the army in the Southwest Region. His parents reluctantly sent him off with tears in their eyes.

Zhang Jin said that because of his strong physique, he performed particularly well in physical training as soon as he arrived at the recruit company. Even some veteran soldiers praised him and said that he was born to be a soldier.

After completing the recruit training, Zhang Jincheng gradually gained some fame in the company, and in this way, he also attracted the attention of the "Black Panther Special Reconnaissance Battalion".

In June last year, Zhang Jincheng, who had not yet served as a soldier for a full year, was selected by the Black Panther Special Forces Brigade.

The moment he knew he was going to be a special forces soldier, Zhang Jincheng felt so happy and thought he had made the right choice to join the army.

Special forces are like the sharpest dagger in the army. If you want to become a part of this dagger, you have to undergo more training than others.

Zhang Jin said that when he first joined the special forces, he had to face non-stop training and continuous tests every day.

Many viewers may know how special forces are trained from the TV series "I Am a Special Forces Soldier", but Zhang Jincheng's training is much more difficult than what is shown in the TV series.

In the bitterly cold winter, Zhang Jin said he could only keep company with cold water.

The snow-capped mountains of the southwestern plateau are no warmer than those in the north.

Although his body was almost at its limit, Zhang Jin said he did not give up.

Every time his teammates chose to leave one by one, he always gritted his teeth and held on.

When he first started training, the task that scared him the most was ziplining across the river.

This mission required the special forces to grab the ropes tied to two cliffs and climb over little by little without using any tools.

Zhang Jin said he was afraid of heights. He could handle it when practicing indoors, but when he actually had to climb up, he felt scared for the first time.

Looking at the river flowing between the two mountains, Zhang Jintao said he felt panicky and his legs went weak.

When he lay on the rope, he was so scared that he closed his eyes and dared not look around.

At that time, his instructor saw that Zhang Jincheng was afraid of heights, so for safety reasons, he had to stop Zhang Jincheng's first actual river crossing training.

Zhang Jin said that his eyes were wet after returning to the camp. If he could not overcome his fear of heights, he would be eliminated.

Later, Zhang Jincheng made up his mind to increase his training volume. He ran to a building in the training base, found a rope and tied it between two buildings, and then started practicing by himself. While cheering himself up, Zhang Jincheng staggered to complete his first crossing.

With this beginning, he gained confidence, and practicing crossing the river with the rope every day became his compulsory course.

Hard work will eventually pay off. Zhang Jin said that he finally overcame his fear and stood on the top of the mountain again. He passed the test with the best result in the team. Even the chief instructor He Qiu was surprised how he could do it in such a short time.

Once Zhang Jincheng overcame his fear of heights, he felt that no difficulty could stop him.

After several months of hard training, Zhang Jin said he is now an excellent special forces soldier.

Even the instructors who had taught him before were defeated by him in the competition.

In this way, Zhang Jincheng became one of the sharpest "knives" in the "Black Panther" special forces.

The Southwest Region organized a military skills competition. Zhang Jin said that because he was one of the best special forces soldiers in the team, he must represent the special forces in the competition.

In order to give the brigade an impressive reputation, Zhang Jin said he had started to intensify training in advance.

Zhang Jin said he wanted to improve his 30-meter rock climbing performance, so he stuffed two dumbbells in his backpack.

Climbing the steep cliff with these two dumbbells on your back is not any easier than running a thousand meters on flat ground with someone on your back. It is even more thrilling.

Zhang Jin said that he climbed very carefully the first time, but he climbed faster and faster afterwards, and soon his speed exceeded that when he was not holding the dumbbells.

The more you sweat during training, the less injuries and tears you will suffer on the battlefield. This is clearly demonstrated in military competitions.

In July, the competition kicked off, and the first event was climbing a 7-meter-high cliff.

Without the dumbbells, Zhang Jincheng was as agile as a monkey. He left the other contestants behind in a flash and was the first to reach the summit, breaking the old 30-meter climbing record of the entire army.

Next, it was the 200-meter rope crossing section that Zhang Jincheng had been a little timid about. As soon as the whistle sounded, Zhang Jintao immediately lay on the rope and swung towards the opposite hill. After a while, he left his opponent far behind.

When Zhang Jincheng was about to reach the finish line, his body fell down so much that the end of the rope loosened.

At the critical moment, Zhang Jincheng was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and stuck his hand tightly in the crevice of the rock. The judges and soldiers present were so nervous for him.

Just when the judges were about to ask someone to help pull Zhang Jincheng up, Zhang Jincheng grabbed the rope at the broken anchor end in his mouth. Relying on the power of the rope, he flipped to the top of the mountain in one go. The soldiers present all applauded and cheered.

In this competition attended by hundreds of top fighters from across the region, Zhang Jintao won the championship with his outstanding performance of first place in total score and was awarded the honor of "Top Ten Martial Arts Pioneers" by the Southwest Region. This year, Zhang Jintao won the reputation of "God of War" among all the soldiers in the army.

In the "simulated squadron" of the Black Panther Special Forces Brigade, there are countless outstanding fighters like Zhang Jincheng.

The annual International Special Forces Competition is about to begin. This international competition is different from the domestic one. Not only are all the contestants the best of the best, but the honors they win are also very different.

If a country wins first place in a military competition, it means that it has won respect in the eyes of other countries.

"Rabbit" has participated in many international military competitions in the past, but its results were not outstanding. This time, the headquarters plans to pick out some experts and vow to avenge the past and show their skills.

When selecting talents nationwide, Liu Xiaotao, Liu Yong, Zhang Jincheng and others from the "Black Panther Simulation Squadron" in the Southwest Region performed very well.

They were selected by the headquarters to participate in the International Special Forces Competition, with Major Squadron Leader Liu Xiaotao personally serving as the leader of the team.

For a soldier, the proudest thing is to contribute to the country.

When Liu Xiaotao heard that he was going to lead the "Rabbit" team to the competition, he secretly made up his mind to surpass everyone and always strive to be the first place.

This international military competition was held in Europa League. Most of the participants were teams from the European Union. They were all experienced warriors. Except for Liu Xiaotao and Liu Yong from the Rabbit Team, people like Zhang Jincheng were participating for the first time.

They haven't participated in many major international competitions, so no one in the participating countries thinks the "Rabbit" team can do it.

After receiving the list of competition events from his superiors, Liu Xiaotao led a dozen other team members into several months of hard training.

There were some items that even Liu Xiaotao had never practiced before, but as a "rabbit", every soldier hoped to win the battle, and he was no exception.

After several months of hard training, the big day of the international military competition was approaching, and Liu Xiaotao and his teammates flew to Slovenia three days in advance.

One day in July, the opening ceremony venue was extremely lively, and reporters were rushing to take pictures of the athletes.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers wearing red armbands rushed in from the door. The scene immediately exploded. Everyone found out that the team was led by Liu Xiaotao's "Rabbit" team.

These "rabbits" have not been seen on the field for a long time. When the foreign soldiers saw them, they were more contemptuous than surprised. They felt that even if the "rabbits" participated in the competition, it would be difficult for them to achieve good results.

In this special forces competition, each team has to compete in a particularly difficult primeval forest in the central and southern part of the country of Slo to see who can complete the task first.

The competition was held 50 kilometers deep in the jungle. Each team member had to carry 20 kilograms of things and complete 13 events in sequence, such as swimming over obstacles, special shooting training, and rock climbing.

For the team members, taking the postgraduate entrance examination there is not only a challenge to their physical strength, but also a big test of their ability to adapt flexibly when facing a natural environment full of uncertainty.

All tasks must be completed within 20 hours. Once the time is up, those who fail to complete the task will be eliminated.

The team that completes the task first and has the highest score in each subject is the winner.

Liu Xiaotao's team was taken by a helicopter to the sky above the dense forest. As soon as they got on the plane, the curtain of the competition began.

The first challenge was to parachute out of the plane.

After the plane arrived at the designated location, Liu Xiaotao looked at the team members who were fully equipped, shouted "start", and the team members jumped out of the cabin one after another.

Zhang Jincheng was the first to parachute, and Liu Xiaotao was the last one to walk out of the plane door.

Afterwards, fifteen parachutes opened up in the sky one after another. Liu Xiaotao and his team had already conducted outdoor skydiving exercises countless times.

However, because the wind suddenly changed direction, Liu Xiaotao's team was the second to land, and only won second place in this round of competition.

Although Liu Xiaotao and his team won second place, they still felt unsatisfied. This made them realize that the other participating teams were also very strong.

Seeing Liu Xiaotao reflecting on himself, players from other countries were quite surprised. They put away their previous proud attitudes and began to take the "Rabbit" team seriously.

Liu Xiaotao and his friends were full of energy, and they tried their best in the following eight competitions, including swimming across the river, climbing a mountain, and running five kilometers fast, and finally won first place.

Moreover, Liu Xiaotao not only won the first place in the obstacle course competition, but also broke the record of the previous special forces competition.

To overcome the obstacle, several people have to work together to lift a 200-pound pillar.

Although it is not a big deal for seven or eight people to lift one of the 200 kilograms, they still have to carry the pillar and run a 500-meter obstacle course. This requires the athletes to cooperate well and have enough physical strength. It is really a big challenge.

Athletes from Slovakia are particularly good at this event, and they set the record in the last competition.

They divided into two pairs, picked up the pillars, and rushed to the finish line.

Liu Xiaotao led the way, and the two teams of soldiers worked together and rushed across the last line in one go.

The referee stared at the stopwatch with wide eyes and read out, "Three minutes and eleven seconds!" You know, the previous record was four minutes and twenty seconds.

The Slo team followed closely behind, but were almost thirty seconds slower than the "Rabbit" team.

At this time, the whole audience burst into thunderous applause. The "Rabbit" team really impressed everyone.

After overcoming the difficulties, the next step is to run a 6.5-kilometer armed march through the primeval forest.

This project requires each team member to wear the equipment given by the organizer and then run to the finish line according to the map...
