He is two meters and five centimeters tall. Who made him a soldier?

Chapter 232: Israel's Show of Power
"It's here! It's almost there."

Ji Baichang had already woken up Xue Daochao who was still sleeping nearby. After waking him up, he looked out the window curiously.

The entire Y-20 strategic transport aircraft, like a Kunpeng, spread its wings in the blue sky and landed steadily towards the airport below.

All the veterans who were sleeping in the cabin had been awakened, and everyone sat in their seats in a very orderly manner, and no one was even walking around.

There was a slight bumpy feeling when landing, and only after the entire Y-20 came to a steady stop did the cabin begin to move. Everyone followed instructions and took their weapons, equipment, and luggage.

Lu Qinglong held his weapon box containing ceramic steel armor in one hand and hung a backpack on his chest. After organizing all his things, he waited for two minutes. The huge hatch of the entire rear door opened and they lined up in an orderly manner and walked out.

As soon as they got out of the cabin, Ji Baichang and his companions immediately saw that the open spaces on both sides were almost filled with various media, and the camera flashes were constantly shooting at them.

When they were on the plane, they had already changed into blue helmets representing the peacekeeping forces.

At this time, facing the cameras of foreign media, they couldn't help but straighten their chests. They now represent the People's Liberation Army and cannot smear or embarrass themselves.

After passing through this area of ​​camera encirclement, Ji Baichang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said awkwardly:
"Why do I feel like we are just like celebrities? I mean, celebrities don't have as many cameras as we do when they're at the airport, right?"

"Isn't it? After all, we represent different groups. If you think about it, we should be the fifth group of peacekeeping troops to come to Lebanon."

"Huh? Are there other troops here already? I thought it was just us."

Listening to Ding Wei's words, Ji Baichang was a little surprised.

"As early as 18, we already had peacekeeping troops coming to Lebanon. You will know later."

Ding Wei gave Ji Baichang a look that showed he understood.

After a while, when they were out of the airport, they saw a number of familiar-looking flat-head diesel troop carriers parked outside, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

"Ah! Flat-top diesel personnel carrier!"

"What are you doing? Is this still abroad?"

Ji Baichang stared. If he was not very sure that they had arrived in Lebanon, Ji Baichang would have thought that they had arrived at some new training point.

"Okay, come on, let's get in this car."

Everyone got on the vehicle one after another. Ji Baichang skillfully sat at the end of the flat-head diesel troop carrier, from which he could see the scene outside clearly.

The others didn't argue with Ji Baichang, but just looked at the end. They were also curious about Lebanon.

Compared to what I saw on TV and in the news before, there is a big difference.

Basically, maybe because the roads they were driving on were all outlying, there were no signs of damage.

However, Ji Baichang saw that the locals walking on the street had numbness and death on their faces.

This feeling is so strange that Ji Baichang cannot describe it in words.

They drove all the way to a large yard, which was surrounded by a wall nearly three meters high.

There is a lot of space for activities in the entire yard, and it is even equipped with a playground, training ground, etc.

“It feels like this yard is a bit like a renovated abandoned residential area.”

Ji Baichang muttered something and then started to move the luggage downstairs.

They were assigned to a bungalow, which was empty and didn't even have the most basic bed frame. They could only sleep on the floor with sheets and quilts spread out on the floor.

These living conditions really gave Ji Baichang a warning and were beyond Ji Baichang's initial imagination.

The climate here is relatively dry, with strong winds and sand.

The good news is that Ji Baichang discovered that there was at least water here, and it was not like what he had thought, that he needed to dig a well to get water.

But there is bad news. The bad news is that water should be consumed at regular times and in fixed quantities.

Water is only supplied for one hour every evening, and there is no water at other times.

"Squad leader, is it too late for me to change my mind and go to South Africa for peacekeeping?"

Ji Bai has a bitter face.

"It's too late. Now that we are here, we might as well make the best of it. Pack up your things so that we can have dinner later."

Chen Ting simply asked everyone to pack their luggage. After he had packed his own luggage, he turned around and left the classroom, walking around the entire courtyard.

In the large yard, there are corresponding training equipment, including a shooting range with a maximum distance of more than 300 meters.

After a walk around, it can be described as "small but complete".

If we ignore the fact that this is Lebanon, this place is actually the same as a small unit in a remote area.

Maybe the ammunition supply here is more sufficient.

After touring the entire courtyard, Chen Ting returned to the classroom. Others also packed their luggage one after another. They went to the cafeteria in a row under the leadership of the company commander Chen Tianjian.

It was a large, stuffy bungalow with tables packed densely together. When they arrived at the cafeteria, there were already quite a few veterans sitting there.

The place where their entire row lives is different from the engineering company, so they don’t have to gather together with the engineering company for meals.

There were more than 500 people in total, and they were now squeezed into two restaurant bungalows. The dinner was also a bit oily, and everyone ate a lot after being hungry all day.

Even Ji Baichang, who is a picky eater, ate a lot.

Because he knew that it might not be possible to order takeout here like in China, he had to endure and eat a little more.

At night, they took advantage of the one-hour water supply period to take a good bath. At the same time, their platoon also used portable water tanks to store most of the water in case of emergency.

After doing this, they lay down on the bed and prepared to go to sleep.

However, most of them slept for a long time on the plane today, and now that they have arrived in Lebanon, they are a little jet-lagged, so none of them can sleep.

"Captain, when we came here, we didn't seem to see anyone along the way?"

"From what I saw on TV, the situation in Lebanon hasn't gotten that serious, right? Is it because we're in the suburbs that Israel won't attack us?"

Ji Baichang lay on the ground covered with a mattress, turned over and asked Chen Ting.

This place is not what he thought at the beginning, it doesn’t seem to be very dangerous?

"Ji Baichang, you always ask some very strange questions."

Facing Ji Baichang, this curious baby, Chen Ting shook his head helplessly.

"Your guess should be correct. If you were the enemy and wanted to attack this place and cause damage, would you attack the suburbs where there are few people, or the city where there are many people?"

Ji Baichang listened to Chen Ting's question and had an answer in his mind.

"Okay, get some rest tonight, and try to adjust to the time difference first, so that you don't get uncomfortable later, and your bodies won't be able to bear it."

"Then tomorrow, if I have nothing else to do, I will teach you how to conduct street fighting on a real battlefield."

"I seldom taught you this before, and even if I did, it was only superficial."

"Tomorrow I will teach you how to truly survive and destroy the enemy in this environment."

"OK, goodnight."

After Chen Ting finished speaking, he turned off the lights in the classroom, and the whole class fell into darkness.

"Okay, squad leader, I won't ask any more questions. I'll just go to sleep."

Ji Baichang muttered something, turned his head and tried to fall asleep.

Although they felt uncomfortable coming to a strange place, fortunately there were familiar people around them, so after a while, they fell asleep one after another.

Everyone was asleep, and the whole yard was quiet.

I don’t know how long it took, but this environment was broken by more than a dozen gorgeous "meteors" in the sky.

In the sky, dozens of precision-guided missiles flew over from the direction of Israel and fell straight towards the city.

In response to this sudden scene, several individual air defense missiles were quickly launched from several directions in the city and suburbs.

The light from the collision and explosion of the precision-guided missile and the anti-aircraft missile was like fireworks, illuminating the entire night sky.

Although there were corresponding air defense facilities in the direction of Lebanon, facing more than a dozen precision-guided missiles from the other side and the premeditated attack, some were soon missed.

Three missiles successfully hit several key important buildings in the city.

"boom!"

There were several loud noises. The people who were sleeping on the floor only felt something making several noises, and then everyone woke up.

"What's going on! Something exploded!"

Ji Baichang stood up dazedly and rubbed his eyes sleepily.

He was a little sleepy at first, until he saw a bright light outside the window in the sky like firecrackers, and he woke up with a start.

"Squad leader! Something seems to have exploded outside."

Ji Baichang shouted, and Chen Ting had already arrived at the open space outside the classroom. He raised his head and looked at the explosion light in the sky with a serious expression.

Everyone followed him out of the classroom. They also saw the light in the sky and the dazzling flames in the direction of the city in the dark night.

"Lebanon was attacked by missiles from Israel."

"A total of 12 missiles were launched, and Lebanon intercepted nine of them, three of which landed directly in the city."

"This will be a busy evening."

In the open space, someone from the platoon of the 2nd Battalion of another special operations brigade said this.

"Damn it, squad leader! Is this the cruelty of modern warfare?!"

"Fortunately, their target of bombing was Lebanon. If they had bombed us, we would have been killed in our sleep!"
