Chapter 380: Shameless People Are Invincible

“Haha, Old Xue, it’s been a while since we last met!”

On a higher hill in the exercise combat area to the north, the Chief of Staff arrived here by helicopter shortly after Wang Ye and his team entered the mountains.

As soon as he got off the helicopter, he saw a figure standing in front of a row of tents over there.

The Chief of Staff immediately walked over with a hearty laugh.

“Is it just you who came over?”

The soldier known as Old Xue smiled slightly and replied.

In terms of military rank, Old Xue actually outranked the Chief of Staff, but they were old comrades, so their conversation was quite casual.

As the Chief of Staff approached, he heard Old Xue’s remark and couldn’t help but look somewhat helpless. “Well, there’s no choice. They’re afraid of losing face, so they could only send me, the troublemaker!”

Old Xue chuckled and said, “You’re making a retreat sound like an advance! If we end up in trouble this time, your words will haunt me forever!”

The Chief of Staff shook his head, saying, “No way, no way. You guys are the tough guys, even tigers fear you. The outcome is already determined. 1 just wanted to let my young troops see the world!”

Here is the command center for this exercise confrontation.

The person in front of us, Old Xue, is the captain of the special forces.

Listening to the Chief of Staff’s words, he smiled and said, “You’re quite clever, but I’ve known that about you!”

After saying this, he turned around and walked into the tent behind him with a smile.

The Chief of Staff immediately followed with a hearty laugh.

Indeed, as he had just said, the Chief of Staff was playing some mind games. He was saying this now so that if they ended up losing, it would seem like it was expected.

If they did lose, he wouldn’t be in a good mood when he returned to the reconnaissance camp, and he might even push the soldiers to their limits during training.

But at least in front of this old comrade, he had said what he did, and he wouldn’t lose face.

However, if they happened to win by some stroke of luck, he would be in high spirits, but it would be a blow to the special forces’ reputation.

Nevertheless, these were just the Chief of Staff’s thoughts.

He didn’t mind if someone saw through them.

Entering the tent, it was just like during the previous exercise confrontation, with many screens.

In this day and age, satellite communication had long been used in the military, although various technologies were not yet mature.

The concept of a digitized battlefield and the initial stages of information warfare were still developing.

However, exercise operations were not wars of information warfare. Image monitoring and audio transmission were simply to help the exercise command center have a clear understanding of the conditions of the soldiers participating in the exercise and the situation on the exercise field.

No one intentionally interfered or caused disruptions. As an exercise device, it was still functional.

“Everyone, be careful. The first ten teams, you must head to the beacon location immediately. The rest, continue at full speed until two o’clock, but once it’s two o’clock, no need to be overly ambitious; you must immediately conceal yourselves and take a break, understood?”

Just as they entered the mountains, while everyone was still relatively close together, Jiang Nan used his individual radio to give orders to everyone.

This was because the company commander had just told them not to worry about the special forces ambushing them ahead.

Both sides entered the area at about the same time, but the special forces came from the opposite side of the jungle.

This information was crucial.

Based on this situation and estimated distances on the map, they knew that it would take at least two hours for both sides to roughly meet.

So Jiang Nan set two hours as the standard.

The first ten teams ahead were the ones he had selected, and their maps were closer to their current position, which he estimated they could reach the marked points in two hours.

So his requirement for them was to retrieve the beacon first.

As for the other twenty maps, those beacon locations were not reachable in his two-hour estimation.

So he ordered everyone to conceal themselves and take a break when the time came.

In essence, it was an ambush followed by rest.

During night marches, if the reconnaissance team calculated the distance and ambushed at the designated time, continuing to march recklessly could lead to a high likelihood of encountering danger.

Listening to these words, Wang Ye surveyed his surroundings.

The night vision goggles were put down, and even in the jungle, visibility was not an issue at night.

Currently, the four-person team led by Wang Ye consisted of Wang Ye at the front, the cook behind him, followed by Jiang Nan and the clerk.

There was no need to worry about encountering people at the moment, and there was no need to advance in a state of alertness.

However, at this moment, Wang Ye, who was walking at the front, couldn’t help but feel a sense of helplessness.

He felt that this mission might be a bit difficult.

Within the team, aside from the platoon leader, Jiang Nan had participated in training, but his training volume couldn’t compare to that of the soldiers.

As for the cook and the clerk, it was even more challenging.

These were three goof-offs!

He, a reconnaissance soldier with less than a month of experience, was leading this team, and he wondered if they could make it through these five days.

But worrying now was of no use.

He gathered his spirits and walked ahead when suddenly…

“Stop! There are some ground cherries over here!”

The team had been walking for about twenty minutes when the cook, who was behind them, suddenly crouched down and spoke.

Wang Ye was a bit puzzled.

Ground cherries? What were those?

However, Wang Ye soon figured out what they were.

They were a type of small wild fruit by the side of the road, and he had just seen them.

He didn’t recognize them, and when An Ping and the others taught Wang Ye how to identify edible things in the jungle, they hadn’t mentioned this.

“Quick, pick some.”

Jiang Nan gave the order.

This time, aside from a canteen of water and the compressed biscuits in their emergency kits, they had no other food with them..
