Chapter 44 All Prepare
The revised training plan officially took effect the following morning at 6:00 AM.
The morning training program was significantly adjusted. The usual hellish and ever-changing physical training was temporarily gone, replaced by the learning of various practical and basic military skills and battlefield commands.
In the afternoon, the recruit company met with their instructors 90 days in advance. The recruits were given a cramming session with a wide range of subjects, including but not limited to the recognition and learning of the Empire's main combat equipment, basic terrain identification and utilization, basic weather knowledge, basic tactics, and basic battlefield terminology.
In the evening, there would either be night training sessions or evening self-study sessions to test and review the afternoon's learning outcomes.
A few days later, the official order for the exercise was issued.
It's largely the same as what Shen Yi said, with two differences:
First, command of the Capital Military Academy was transferred to the Southern Army Group. In theory, the Southern Army Group would provide all the equipment necessary for the exercise, but the current order is that the Capital Military Academy must provide its own equipment, and the Southern Army Group will only provide battlefield supplies and support.
Secondly, the exercise date has been changed from the 140th of the lunar month to the 150th.
It is said that these two conditions for the change were obtained through the best efforts of the capital's military academy.
After the order was issued, although a 10-day grace period was given, the training atmosphere became more and more intense each day. On the sixth day after the official order was issued, which was the 136th day of the month, the entire recruit company underwent a comprehensive assessment test.
Based on the test scores, Luo Chong was appointed as the temporary adjutant, while Chen Bunei, Lin Qingning, and Chu Yan became temporary staff officers.
As for the communications soldier's position, Wei Ru successfully took it—
[Communication] This course is arguably the least popular because the amount of material to memorize is simply too vast; just the "Universal Codes and Codes of the Empire" alone is enough to give most people a headache.
Wei Ru got a perfect score, while Chu Yan came in second in this subject with a score of only 78. Most of the other students barely passed.
This led everyone to believe that Iron Head Kung Fu could enhance memory.
Mo Zian was temporarily separated from the main force and became the only sniper in the squadron, while Han Dafu became the only reconnaissance soldier in the team.
Due to different assignments, the training and teaching content were also differentiated according to functions.
For example, personnel who need to undertake tasks such as sniping and reconnaissance learned a skill called "needlework" from sniper instructor Hu Yang—a unique craft that uses local vegetation to make a camouflage garment in a short time.
This craft looks simple, but it actually involves a lot of intricacies—
In order to make a qualified camouflage suit, factors such as the characteristics of local vegetation, the texture and durability of the camouflage suit itself, and the fact that it does not restrict physical activity must be carefully considered.
For example, Du Chi gave everyone a special treatment, a unique technique that allowed them to conceal their own ethereal fluctuations and aura.
The general principle isn't difficult, but unfortunately, there's a significant gap between theory and practice. Without years of practice, it's truly difficult to achieve perfection, and the overall progress of teaching this skill to the squadron is not ideal.
However, Shen Yi did not dwell on this point.
The busy and fulfilling time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the 145th day of the Fire Moon.
Everyone was eagerly anticipating the upcoming exercise, so no one complained even though the intense training and study continued from 6:00 AM to 22:00 PM every day.
It was still dark when we arrived.
The urgent whistle woke up the entire dormitory building.
"Emergency assembly!"
The new recruits chattered and ran to the front of the building to assemble. Shen Yi put away his pocket watch, seemingly satisfied with the assembly time, and didn't waste any more words on it. Instead, he led the team directly to the equipment warehouse to collect and put on their full sets of gear.
Type 835 Army General Steel Helmet, Type 3 Half-Body Chest Armor, Type 2 Combat Short Sword, Type 4 Backpack, Samurai Handgun as Sidearm, Bakelite Weapon for Training, and miscellaneous items such as Military Pocket Watch, Compass, and Ammunition Pouch.
What's odd is that only a few people were issued primary weapons.
Mo Zian naturally took his own big weapon—the [Judge], while Han Dafu and Wei Ru each carried a [Waist Knife]. The two [736 Modified] sniper rifles they brought were given to Luo Chong and Chu Yan.
While putting on his gear, Mo Zian got confirmation from Du Shi that the exercise had not started ahead of schedule, but that was all.
After getting dressed, they lined up and set off, but so far no one had been told what they were going to do next.
"Destination: Northeast. Full speed ahead! Move out!"
As soon as Shen Yi gave the order, the team set off quickly. After leaving the school gate, the team gradually blended into the mountains and forests under the cover of night.
By the moonlight, Chen Bu'nai glanced at Luo Chong beside him, his mood gradually brightening. He then turned to look at Mo Zi'an, feeling even happier—how pleasant and carefree it was for a young man to be able to march empty-handed with the evening breeze on his face.
Those who experience it firsthand know.
It was obvious that Mo Zian knew the answer was 40 jin (20 kg).
Following Shen Yi, the entire squadron plunged into the deep mountains. This was a completely undeveloped area, and everyone had to form a single file and continue advancing along a beast trail.
Night marches are inherently dangerous, but fortunately they had undergone specialized night combat training beforehand, and Shen Yi seemed to have a clear direction and destination, allowing the entire squadron to continue advancing at a steady pace.
Because it was nighttime and the road was mountainous, the speed varied, and Mo Zian couldn't quite estimate how far he had run. He only knew that by the time they finally emerged from the woods, the sky was already beginning to lighten.
Their official departure time was about 3 a.m. (around 3 a.m.)
After leaving the woods, the team traveled a short distance along a simple dirt road before several red brick barracks came into view.
Shen Yi presented a document, and the guards let him pass immediately.
Beyond the barracks was a huge, warehouse-like, arched building. Further on was an extremely large open space—clearly man-made and leveled, with various markings painted on the gray ground, surrounded by a high wall and electric fence.
Clearly, this is a simple airport hidden in the mountains, with the open space serving as a sufficiently spacious landing pad.
The entire training squadron stood in neat formation at the edge of the landing pad. Mo Zian looked straight ahead and saw a rising red sun slowly rising in the east, reflecting another sun in his eyes, which were as calm as a lake.
The two complement each other, casting a golden glow over the distant mountains.
Du Chi leaned close to Shen Yi and whispered, "Boss, they said they'd give us equipment? What kind of equipment?"
"I'm not sure, but it seems to be under a high level of secrecy."
Shen Yi took out his pocket watch, glanced at it, and muttered, "It should be about time..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a row of small black dots appeared in the distant sky.
The "black dot" moved incredibly fast, rapidly enlarging in everyone's view. A total of eleven unidentified flying vehicles lined up in a row, slowly descending amidst the shocked and curious gazes of the crowd.
The training squadron has recently gained a comprehensive understanding of almost all of the Empire's main combat equipment, and the Air Force's main combat weapons are broadly classified into three types: the [Kun] airship, the [Peng] airship, and the [He] fighter jet.
The aircraft in front of us clearly do not belong to the three main combat equipment mentioned above or any of their derivative models.
But Mo Zian recognized them at a glance: these things were essentially helicopters from his previous life, only they weren't helicopters in the traditional sense.
If I had to compare, it's somewhat similar to a certain American's Chinook from a past life, only not as big, and this thing in front of me has a quadcopter-like design—
These aircraft are silver-gray in color and have no paint on them except for a string of codes, which clearly indicates that they are some kind of experimental model.
Four upward-facing spiral turbines are distributed around the main body of the vehicle, but it is clear that the main propulsion of this thing does not come from the propellers.
Because these spiral turbines are not very large, they are obviously not enough to fully support the machine body. At the rear of the machine body, there is a trumpet-shaped nozzle that is spewing out pale blue flames.
Mo Zian estimated that these turbofans should only provide lift and maneuverability, with forward propulsion mainly coming from the rear nozzles.
He didn't understand why it was designed this way; he wasn't an expert in this area, and he had no right to speak on it.
As these aircraft hovered into position, the noise and wind pressure from the turbofans disappeared as their power systems shut down. The side sliding door of the lead aircraft was opened, and three people dressed in military technician uniforms jumped out.
