Chapter 065: Red vs Blue

  Unconsciously, we learned many reconnaissance specialties in the reconnaissance company that we had never learned before.

  Here we also learned how to break beer bottles with our heads. And kicking wooden boards with our feet and so on.

  After training today, we put away our equipment and the company commander assembled us once again.

  In front of our formation, the company commander shouted to us: "Comrades, next Monday, our Tiger First Battalion will organize a red and blue confrontation with the Tiger Second Battalion of our regiment. This is also a test of our training results for this period of time in the regiment. Our battalion will take on the role of the Red Army, and the Tiger Second Battalion will take on the role of the Blue Army."

  We all heard Commander Lian announce that we were going to have a play and excitedly cheered from below.

  Lian Zhang waved his hand to signal us to be quiet, and after we were quiet, he continued: "This time is the first time our reconnaissance company has shown up in the whole regiment since its establishment. I hope everyone can bring honor to the reconnaissance company."

  "The first battle will be won by me, and I must win!"

  "The first battle will be won by me, and I must win!"

  "The first battle will be won by me, and I must win!"

  We shouted slogans excitedly!

  In the following days, our training time was extended and the whole regiment was in a state of tense preparation for this confrontation exercise.

  That day, after we all returned from the training ground, I and Hu Xingwei took Zhang Yu's dog Little Tiger to the back mountain.

  Just as we three had lit our cigarettes, the company suddenly sounded the urgent assembly call.

  "Emergency assembly!"

  "Hurry up!"

  I let out a loud shout, threw the lit cigarette on the ground and re-tied the military dog Xiaohu, we three rushed back to put on our equipment.

  Back in the dormitory, we are well-trained and dressed neatly.

  Fully armed, we assembled outside the company.

  At this time, there were already military trucks waiting in front of us.

  Lian Chang announced the start of this confrontation and gave us our mission.

  We got on a military truck and after it started moving, we received this exercise ammunition.

  This exercise bullet has no lethality and will emit blue smoke when hitting an enemy.

  We 12 new recruits are extremely excited.

  When the car stopped, we arrived in the mountains.

  At this time, our Red Army command post has been set up.

  The command post also made camouflage.

  Our reconnaissance company was divided into two groups to help other companies build shelters and so on.

  At this time, Lian Chang called me and Zhao Zhi Jie to his side.

  "Zhao Zhijie." The company commander shouted.

  My monitor stepped forward and replied: "Yes."

  Lian Chang handed the sniper rifle over to Ban Zhang and said, "You'll be the sniper for First Squad, Xiao Bin will be your spotter."

  "Yes, Commissar, but Xiao Bin hasn't had any contact with the Observation Hand profession yet." My class monitor Zhao Zhijie replied to Commissar Long with difficulty.

  Lian Chang glared at me and shouted at our class monitor: "Then you come be Xiao Bin's observer."

  "Yes." Class monitor Zhao ZhiJie replied loudly.

  I feel a bit guilty, I should have learned about palmistry earlier.

  After returning to the team, I asked the class leader weakly: "Class leader, why don't you teach me the duties of observing hands now?"

  I thought the class leader would scold me, but instead he just smiled and handed the sniper rifle to me, smiling and scolding: "You damn well better perform well, or else you won't even be able to be a spotter in the future."

  "Yes."

  This time, we have new and old soldiers paired up in groups.

  On the mountain opposite us, the Blue Army is stationed.

  We also received our first task from our superiors.

  Tonight our reconnaissance company will infiltrate the mountain across from us to gather information on the enemy.

  The company commander assigned this task to our group and the third group. The company commander led other groups of comrades to ambush at each intersection, preventing the Blue Army's scouts from infiltrating our Red Army.

  After receiving the task, a row of long belts took our group away.

  I was separated from Hu Xingwei and formed a group, while Zhang Yu stayed with Lian Chang to undertake the undercover mission.

  We can't enter the mountain where the Blue Army is stationed on the other side from the only big road.

  And with two mountains still separated by a river, we chose to dive in and enter Blue Army's territory.

  We arrived at the riverbank, put on our diving gear, and after putting on oxygen masks, we carried our field packs in hand and entered the water.

  We learned diving skills soon after entering the reconnaissance company.

  At that time when we were learning this skill, each of us had eaten a lot of bitterness...

  After getting off the water, we landed at the designated position before getting on the water.

  After making sure everyone was safely ashore, we started digging large pits on the ground with entrenching shovels.

  After the big pit was dug, we took off our diving suits and put on our equipment from the field pack. Then we put the diving suits into the pit and covered them with camouflage cloth. After doing all this, we refilled the soil.

  After cleaning up and making sure there's no problem, we start disguising our bodies. We paint camouflage oil on our faces, put on the camouflage clothes, and receive a soft command to find a place to hide and wait for nightfall before taking action.

  After we quietly infiltrated into the mountain, all of us lay in ambush in the lush green grass.

  From a distance, our camouflage uniforms allow us to blend in with the flowers and grasses here.

  We lay motionless in the grass.

  Don't underestimate the power of潜伏. When we were training in潜伏, we suffered a lot and couldn't be disturbed at all during that time.

  Once during a training exercise, our hiding point was next to a pile of cow dung. The flies were unbearable, but what really bothered us was eating compressed biscuits right next to the cow dung.

  At this time we were waiting for the night.

  We all know that at this time, the Blue Army's scouts are also trying every means to infiltrate our Red Army.

  We must evade the Blue Army's counter-infiltration.

  After dark, we finished our compressed rations and began this infiltration.

  At this time, my monitor Zhao Zhijie handed over the terminal positioning instrument in his small backpack to the squad leader.

  Our mission this time is to find the command center of the Blue Army, locate the command center of the Blue Army, and send the data to our Red Army's command center.

  We decided to split up and act separately.

  I and Monitor Zhao ZhiJie held guns and cautiously marched forward in the night.
