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

The instructor gave Zhou You and the special reconnaissance company a series of basic instructions, asked about some related situations, and then signaled Zhou You that he could go back.

Even so, Zhou You had to thank the other instructor again before leaving. This feeling was really a bit depressing.

At the same time, it also deepened his determination not to stay in the heavy armored combined brigade.

If it were a special operations brigade, such a bad thing would never happen.

After returning to the company, Zhou You first called the four platoon leaders together and then repeated the words of the Marine Corps instructor to them.

"Captain Zhou You, why do I feel like the other side is looking down on us?"

"Is this not our illusion? It seems to me that the other party thinks we can't do anything, so they assign us some odd jobs."

"We have become odd jobs now, Captain Zhou You."

Everyone was talking at once, and Zhou You felt helpless listening to them.

Finally, he could only shake his head again and said:

"There's nothing we can do. It's true that the veterans in our company haven't received any training in landing operations. Have you four platoon leaders ever practiced in the military academy?"

After Zhou You asked, Ji Baichang and the other two nodded. They had studied this subject before, and the military academy had also focused on teaching it a lot, including special subjects.

"This... This is not taught at the Army Engineering University where I work."

Li Xiang shook his head slightly embarrassedly.

He really felt that his four years in college were somewhat wasted.

I haven't learned anything. I've just been playing around during these four years in college. The gap between me and the three of them is really too big.

"It's okay, it's okay. We also studied in the military academy, and we only learn the basics. We will teach you the general idea when the time comes."

Ji Baichang patted Li Xiang on the shoulder, and Li Xiang smiled at the three of them.

"In that case, we can just cooperate with the Marines in their attack and learn something from them."

"This is equivalent to increasing our experience. What do you four think?"

Zhou You looked at the four people, and they all nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

Originally, they did not have enough experience in this area, and what the military academy taught was limited. They just had to see if the other party was willing to teach.

If they are unwilling to teach, then they can also learn from them and learn as much as they can from them.

"Captain Zhou You, are we really only capable of being their appendages?"

Lu Qinglong lowered his head and looked at Zhou You, his tone full of unwillingness.

This is the first battle in which they play a supporting role!

In the battles he had experienced before, although they had been asked to play supporting roles, under a series of operations by Lu Qinglong, they successfully turned around from a supporting position to the main force and achieved exceptionally good results.

"Lu Qinglong, I know what you are talking about."

"But this is just an exercise, not a real battle. You can't use your anti-aircraft guns to bombard friendly forces, right?"

"The key is that there are no paintballs of the caliber of your anti-aircraft machine guns!"

"If there really is such a paintball, then if it hits someone it will either kill or injure them, so forget it."

"We are not here for exercises this time, but mainly for learning. Let's see how they land and fight."

Everything Zhou You said made sense, and he was afraid that Lu Qinglong would get hot-headed and do something disobedient.

"Captain Zhou You, that's not what I meant. I also think this is just a very good learning opportunity. There is still a lot of time, and I want to learn from the advantages of the Marine Corps."

"Well, that's fine. That should be enough for us to learn from. After all, they are professionals."

"Okay, there won't be anything else to do today. Go back and rest early. Before going to bed, have each platoon hand in their cell phones. Cell phones are not allowed during the exercise."

After Zhou You finished explaining everything, he signaled the four people that they could go back.

"Qinglong, what's on your mind? Are you going to cause a big trouble?"

After Zhou You walked away, Ji Baichang looked at Lu Qinglong with a puzzled look and asked.

According to his understanding of Lu Qinglong, Lu Qinglong should not be someone who is willing to play a supporting role.

Although Lu Qinglong looks fierce on the surface, he actually behaves very kindly, just like a harmless big brown bear doll.

But when it comes to real combat, his entire temperament will change, and he cannot tolerate others rushing in front of him.

Maybe Lu Qinglong thought that as long as he rushed to the front and killed all the enemies, his teammates would not get hurt.

So basically in every battle, Lu Qinglong would use his own method to serve as the main output and provide cover for his teammates.

If Lu Qinglong is suddenly asked to play as a support now, it would be quite uncomfortable for him, right?
Similar to what Ji Baichang thought, Lu Qinglong also thought so in his heart, but he did not express it. He just shook his head lightly and said:
"I won't do anything weird for now. I want to see how the Marines will complete the landing tomorrow."

"It just so happens that I also want to see how big the gap between the two sides is."

"Oh, that's fine. Qinglong, if you want to do something big, remember to tell us in advance."

"Let Lao Xue and I be mentally prepared so that we can work with you to accomplish great things!"

Ji Baichang was still quite excited when he heard about the big event.

Doesn’t it just so happen that the people in this heavy armored combined brigade look down on their special reconnaissance company?
They felt that they were able to complete the mission because of the 1st and 3rd Battalions of the Special Operations Brigade. The main force was the 1st and 3rd Battalions of the Special Operations Brigade. The leaders of the Heavy Armored Combined Brigade thought that their special reconnaissance company was just there to make up the numbers.

They didn't know that they had killed more than two hundred enemies and ended two fierce battles while supporting their friends.

The leaders of their heavily armored combined brigade probably only saw that a platoon leader in their special reconnaissance company was injured, and saw nothing else.

All the military achievements are credited to the special operations brigade. A newly established special reconnaissance company is still thinking about taking a rest?
The military quality is so low that instead of seizing the time to practice, they are still resting here, which led to the current situation.

According to Ji Baichang's guess, the reason why they were asked to assist the Marines was that they looked down on them. If that was the case, the more he looked down on them, the more Ji Baichang wanted to show off and slap them in the face!
"Okay, I haven't figured out how to do anything big yet. It's getting late, so I should go to bed early."

"We still have to wait and see what the simulation exercise will look like tomorrow."

The four of them returned to their classes one by one and collected the cell phones of all the veterans in the platoon.

Some veterans would hide a second phone after handing in one. This was a very common thing, but now was the exercise stage, and Lu Qinglong asked the veterans in his platoon to hand in both phones to him, and he would keep them for them.

After the exercise, all the mobile phones will be returned to them.

At the same time, they were told that if they needed to use their mobile phones, such as contacting their family members, they could just use their own mobile phones.

But if he found out someone had hidden two phones and didn't hand them in, the consequences would be serious.

The veterans in the company were sensible and handed in all the two machines. No one hid the two machines.

Except for four platoon leaders and two company supervisors, all other non-commissioned officers put away their cell phones.

The next morning, after finishing their breakfast, the soldiers of the special reconnaissance company put on their equipment early, took their weapons, and got on the flat-top troop carriers in an orderly manner.

There was also a motorized infantry company riding in the same vehicle as them. They also took the troop carrier to arrive at the designated location first, and then took further action according to the arrangements from above.

"Among you, there shouldn't be any landlubbers who can't swim, right?"

"There may be armed swimming later. If any of you are landlubbers, raise your hands and come out. You don't need to participate in the following exercises. Learn to swim first."

Company commander Zhou You asked the veterans in each car using the intercom.

You wouldn't know until you asked. Once you asked, you found out that there were actually two people in the company who couldn't swim and were landlubbers!

Zhou You also assigned these two landlubbers the logistical task of transporting supplies, and they would not be allowed to participate in the upcoming military exercises.

"That's really weird. If it's a heavy armored combined force brigade, doesn't it arrange swimming training every year? How come there are still people who can't swim?"

"If this falls into the sea, let alone landing operations, we will lose half of our troops just to rescue the drowning people."

"Are there any landlubbers left? Don't let yourself be unable to swim when the time comes for a battle!"

Zhou You asked twice more, and only after he confirmed that there was no third landlubber in the company did he feel relieved.

The location where the large force arrived was on a beach near the coastline.

The beach is an abandoned one. You can see some garbage mixed in the sand. It is very likely that it was used as a garbage dump by local villagers before, and all kinds of garbage were thrown here.

Now it has been requisitioned by the army, so they cleaned up this place.

"The mission has been assigned. Our goal is to attract enemy firepower ahead of the Marines before they land, and move the assault boats and other equipment to the sea."

"The arrangements for the charge are as follows: the first row has three squads, with three assault boats in the front. The second row will provide corresponding fire support to the first row. The third and fourth rows, your six assault boats, rush to the island as far as you can. If you can't, then forget it. You also have to be careful not to fall into the sea."

Company commander Zhou You began to make simple arrangements.

Their Marine Corps instructor told them to rush forward like casting a net, so that they could attract the attention of all enemies on the island.

In other words, they are cannon fodder that literally attracts firepower.

They were the first batch to rush forward, and were bound to be completely destroyed by the garrison on the other island, so they were no different from cannon fodder.

"Sir, can you fly a speedboat, sir?"

After the veterans got on the assault boat, they discovered a very serious problem, that is, it seemed that none of them knew how to drive it!
Ji Baichang and the other two could barely drive it. After they got the basic hang of it, they immediately taught it to the squad leaders of each class. The squad leaders also got the basic hang of it and tried to adapt themselves to it. They were considered to have barely mastered how to drive a speedboat.

Finally, with five minutes left before the exercise started, all the squad leaders had mastered how to drive the speedboat.

"In the last five minutes, I will tell you one last time. The exercise island we are about to attack is about twelve nautical miles away from us."

"Everyone must wear life jackets. We haven't had any relevant training before. Just adapt as much as possible. We won't make any rigid requirements for you."

"Also, you veterans, listen to your platoon leader. Your platoon leader has received relevant training. That's all I have to say. Everyone, be prepared to board the assault boat."

At Zhou You's command, everyone quickly boarded the speedboat.

In addition to the equipment on their bodies, each veteran also wears a foam life jacket as an outer layer, in case someone accidentally falls into the sea.

This kind of life jacket is put on the outermost layer for easy putting on and taking off.

In this way, if a class in their company is able to rush to the island, they can take off their outermost life jackets immediately and engage in combat.

The equipment carried by their special reconnaissance company is actually far more than just assault boats and life jackets.

In fact, they still carried five sets of diving suits obtained from the Heavy Armored Combined Brigade.

Among the five diving suits, Xue Daochao and Ji Baichang each wore one.

According to Zhou You's original plan, he actually wanted Lu Qinglong to wear one as well.

After all, the combat effectiveness of their three platoon leaders is far greater than that of the veterans in the company, and they have all received relevant training, so it is naturally impossible for them to die like cannon fodder.

But unfortunately, Lu Qinglong's body shape was a bit exaggerated, and there was no diving suit as big as his.

However, Lu Qinglong said that he has no problem going into the water without a diving suit because his body is very resistant to stress.

Ji Baichang and Xue Daochao on the side echoed, and Zhou You also agreed.

At that time, Lu Qinglong can just go into the water wearing a physical training suit.

As for the other equipment, Ji Baichang and Xue Daochao helped carry them evenly.

The three of them wanted to take advantage of the large force's charge to enter the island from the bottom of the sea.

Even if all the veterans in the company cannot reach the island, or are eliminated on the way to the island, the three of them must reach the island safely! (End of this chapter)
