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

The three of them are the only ones who have relevant combat experience, and they are also able to display combat capabilities far beyond that of an entire squad on the battlefield.

This was the first simulated joint exercise, and it was also the first time for Company Commander Zhou You to command such an operation, so his ideas were somewhat bold.

Although the Marines asked them to play auxiliary roles and serve as cannon fodder, did he really want to do that?
Of course he was unwilling to do so, so he had to let Lu Qinglong and the other two form an extra team and successfully enter the island, which might allow them to perform some operations beyond their imagination.

"Zhou You, the simulation exercise will officially begin in three minutes. Is your company ready?"

The voice of the Marine Corps instructor came through the company commander Zhou You’s headphones.

There seemed to be a hint of doubt in the other party's words.

Zhou You pressed the tactical headset and replied:
"The report is all ready."

"All twelve assault boats are ready, and the personnel are equipped with the corresponding weapons and equipment."

"okay."

The instructor's voice disappeared, and the fourth platoon leader Li Xiang raised his head and looked at Zhou You, and couldn't help but say:
"Captain, was that the voice just now from the Marines? Why do I feel like they are so careless?"

He was one of the only two people on the same channel as the company commander Zhou You. The person on the other channel was the instructor.

As for Lu Qinglong and the other three, they were supposed to perform different tasks, so they were on different channels and naturally could not receive the voice from the Marine Corps instructor.

"There's nothing I can do. After all, I have to cooperate with them in the battle, so I'll just listen to them."

Zhou You waved his hand helplessly.

It was mainly about coordination. In fact, he really wanted to know how the two companies of Marines launched the attack.

But the other party meant that there was no need to let them know. In the end, it seemed that Zhou You and the special reconnaissance company under him were just tools and there was no need for them to know the whole process.

"Ji Baichang, you three must give your all! Try to give them a good slap in the face!"

Li Xiang thought silently in his heart.

"Everyone, get on the speedboat and prepare to move forward."

At Zhou You's order, he took the lead and sat on the assault boat in the middle position.

The instructor on the side took the lead in boosting morale and sat on the first and front speedboat.

Li Xiang was sitting in the third row, almost on the ninth speedboat, which was three boats behind the company commander.

Ji Baichang, Xue Daochao and Lu Qinglong, who were wearing diving suits, sat at the back and operated a speedboat individually.

Their task was to get as close to the island as possible under the cover of an entire company in front, and then use diving equipment to enter the island from the bottom of the water.

As for what they need to do after entering the island, at that time, they will need to contact their Marines to see what kind of tasks the Marines will give to the three of them.

I hope the Marines don't underestimate these three people.

"Attention all units, the exercise will officially begin in half a minute! Please make final preparations!"

"I repeat it again!"

"Attention all units, the exercise will officially begin in half a minute! Please make final preparations!"

A powerful voice was heard by everyone through the huge broadcast along the entire coastline.

When the veterans who were already sitting on the assault boat heard this voice, their bodies began to tremble slightly unconsciously.

The feeling of being about to start a simulated exercise made their legs tremble much more than when they were standing at the starting line for a 5km run.

"Everyone, don't panic. Listen to my command carefully. Wait for the three assault boats in the next row to attract fire in the front. Then, when you are one kilometer away from the island, wait for the second and third rows to attack from the left and right wings respectively."

"Everyone, push forward. Even if you are shot into sieves by the people on the island, you must advance to a position of 500 meters. You must provide cover for the three platoon leaders!"

"Do you understand everything?"

"I understand!"

"Okay, let's get started now!"

The exercise started at the hour, but when there were still a few seconds before the hour, Zhou You had already commanded twelve assault boats to rush out of the beach!
A few seconds early or late really doesn't make much difference to them.

After all, their current location is more than ten nautical miles away from the island.

If they were to use a speedboat to travel this distance, it would take more than ten minutes, so no one would say anything if they rushed out a few seconds earlier.

Just after they rushed out, a broadcast was heard from the beach behind them. The broadcast was very loud and had a strong echo:
"The first round of simulation exercises has officially begun!"

After the broadcast ended, everyone sat in the speedboat and sailed forward along the rough sea.

Their attention was all focused on the endless sea ahead, until someone suddenly shouted:

"Look at the sky behind you!"

Upon hearing this, everyone subconsciously raised their heads and looked towards the sky behind them.

I saw more than ten missiles with tail flames in the sky, flying towards the front at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye.

This was just the beginning. Then Lu Qinglong saw fighter jets above the clouds rushing towards the position in front of them.

The scale is so large that it does seem like there is some coordination between the various arms.

Everyone knew very well that what they could see was just the tip of the iceberg.

The actual number of missiles launched was far beyond their imagination!
"Captain, how did the Heavy Armored Combined Brigade transport so many tanks, weapons and equipment to the island?"

An old soldier couldn't help but ask curiously.

They had never experienced such a large-scale landing battle before, so they were very curious about the landing of the heavy armored combined brigade.

For people like them, they don't have much stuff, so a small speedboat is more than enough.

But what about the equipment in this brigade?

In fact, they rarely pay attention to some of the current domestic equipment. As the most common means of combat, landing warfare requires ships to transport equipment, which must be available.

The entire heavy combined brigade attacked the front of the island, while their special reconnaissance company, like the Marines, landed from the back, so naturally they could not see the situation of the frontal attack.

"Don't worry, the people above have already thought of what you said." "There are special transport ships, so don't worry about this kind of thing."

"Now I'm going to tell you the essentials of shooting at sea. Listen carefully."

When the veterans heard Zhou You's words, they pricked up their ears.

Most of them were half-baked and had never received any training in sea shooting. Now the assault boat was so bumpy that it was extremely difficult to aim and shoot, let alone aim the gun at the target.

"Everyone, shoot from the prone position. Don't squat. Your shooting will be inaccurate. Once you enter the 400-meter shooting range, you can raise the muzzle a little higher."

"Don't save your bullets for me. If your accuracy is not good, you can make up for it with your firepower. Anyway, use up all your bullets. I don't want to see you guys have spare bullets left after being eliminated. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Captain!"

The veterans quickly began to lie prone and hold their guns in the narrow assault boat.

Although the military qualities of these bosses are not very good and there is some gap between them and the veterans of the special operations brigade, they also have some good points.

At least these veterans have to obey orders much more than the veterans of the special operations brigade, and they also have to respect the company supervisor much more.

All I can say is that each has its own advantages. Maybe Zhou You personally prefers the veterans of the special operations brigade.

He is a native special operations brigade member, and prefers the special operations brigade with a more relaxed style and stronger military capabilities.

The speedboat sailed forward for about ten minutes. In the sight of the veterans, a seemingly small island appeared on the blue sea in the distance.

Of course, it may also be due to the line of sight. In fact, the island is very large, otherwise it would not have been chosen as the venue for the exercise.

After all, the goal is to realistically simulate the South Island in order to land there in the future, so the island chosen for the exercise must be large!

All the residents on the island have been cleared out, leaving only other units as simulated enemy forces.

The missiles they had seen launched from the rear earlier were not fired randomly, but were directed towards a designated coastline. After all, those on the island were only simulated enemy forces, not real ones.

"Everyone is ready! We are heading southeast and trying to get around them from the rear as much as possible!"

Zhou You began to give commands, and the veterans drove the speedboats somewhat unfamiliarly, advancing according to Zhou You's previous plan.

The instructor sat on the frontmost speedboat, constantly observing the situation in the distance with a telescope in his hand.

His expression revealed tension and excitement.

This was his first time participating in such a large-scale exercise since graduating from military school, and it was impossible for him to not be nervous.

However, he still had to pretend to be calm to avoid being noticed by the veteran soldiers under his command that he was also very nervous.

They are still far away from the island. The instructor used a telescope to take a quick look at the rear of the island. It seems that there are no enemies. There are only vegetation everywhere. The first impression is that the enemy's defense against the rear of the island is very weak.

"Report to the company commander. The defense of the island in the rear is relatively weak, and there are no obvious target enemies in sight."

As usual, the instructor reported the situation of the island to Zhou You.

When it comes to combat, he will listen to the company commander Zhou You for the next instructions.

"No obvious enemies in sight?"

Zhou You frowned, feeling that things were not so simple.

Although it was also his first time to participate in this kind of landing battle, it was a bit outrageous that the rear was not defended. He knew without guessing that something was wrong behind the enemy!

Maybe they dug the pit deliberately, and then when they arrived, they ambushed them and fired at them.

Faced with this situation, Zhou You immediately reported the information to his current superior, the instructor of the Marine Corps.

"There are no obvious enemies in the rear, which means they are hiding in the surrounding vegetation. You go up first, and we will follow."

The other party's tone was very confident, as if he already knew how the other party would defend against them.

"In the final analysis, we should be cannon fodder to find out the enemy's position, and then they can come and eliminate them, right?"

"Lü Qinglong, Ji Baichang, Xue Daochao, the three of you listen, the previous plan is cancelled, I will give you a new battle plan."

"After our main force has landed, the three of you should not go ashore yet. Wait in the sea first. When the marines come, the three of you should follow them ashore."

"I always feel that something is wrong with the situation in front of me."

"Received this, Captain Zhou You."

Zhou You temporarily changed the plan, and the three of them agreed.

Since there are no enemies in the open, they will definitely not launch an attack before they land, so their previous idea of ​​infiltration can be forgotten.

And the most important thing is that the instructor who was just in the front used a telescope to inform them of the current situation of the island.

The island they entered from the rear had only a small beach where they could land, but the rest was made up of cliffs covered with barnacles.

There was no way they could climb up to that place with their bare hands.

If you want to climb up, you will at least need some ropes and climbing tools.

Unfortunately, they did not bring any rock climbing tools with them, or there was only one set of rock climbing tools in the entire combat readiness warehouse, and they did not bring this set of rock climbing tools with them.

Lesson learned. Fortunately, this is only the first round of simulation. For the subsequent second and third rounds of simulation exercises, they can bring this set of rock climbing tools with them. Maybe they can take an unconventional approach and land from other directions.

"Alright, everyone speed up! Make sure the seats on both sides of the speedboat are well-placed, don't make one side too heavy and the other too light."

"Speed ​​up. Once you reach the beach, use the assault boat as cover and enter the vegetation area as soon as possible. Be careful of the enemy troops that may be hiding in the vegetation on both sides."

Zhou You wanted to force all the precautions into these veterans' heads, but given the situation, these veterans could only listen to so much. If he said more, they would not be able to digest it.

A row of three speedboats adjusted their direction, aimed at the beach behind the island and drove straight towards it.

The ten speedboats behind were parked on the sea level, about two hundred meters away from the beach.

In this way, if there is an ambush in the vegetation on both sides of the beach, the follow-up troops can provide fire support to one row while looking for new combat plans.

Three speedboats rushed straight towards the beach.

The veterans on the speedboat all held their weapons tightly, their eyes fixed on the vegetation on both sides, fearing that the muzzle fire would emerge from the vegetation. (End of this chapter)
