No wonder Ning Zheng and the others couldn't help but scream.
Even the reconnaissance vehicle was destroyed, and the drone was interfered with and unable to obtain images, which meant that Class 4 lost all electronic reconnaissance methods.
"Class 4, Class 4, your class is now ordered to complete the reconnaissance and mapping of the target point within 40 minutes, and execute it immediately."
Li Zheng issued an order again.
Ning Zheng couldn't help but become nervous.
Because there is still a distance of 6 kilometers from the reconnaissance vehicle to the reconnaissance target.
According to the current situation of Squad 4, the vehicles were destroyed and the reconnaissance equipment was damaged, which means that the scouts need to be directly approached to manually draw and calibrate.
And the set time is 40 minutes.
Squad 4 must walk 6 kilometers to reach the target area, then conduct close reconnaissance to draw and calibrate the coordinates of the target point, and then send them back to the headquarters.
This is an extreme challenge to the basic skills of a scout.
"Class 4 understands and executes the order!"
Li Zheng knew very well that the reconnaissance detachment of the main force such as the 433rd Brigade Reconnaissance Battalion had absolutely no problems with the use of equipment.
Therefore, if you simply look at them using equipment such as drones and reconnaissance vehicles to conduct reconnaissance on targets, there will basically be no problems, and the results will even be absolutely excellent.
But a little bit.
That is, no matter how advanced the equipment is and how pure it is used, the task completion status under extreme conditions must be taken into consideration.
The best way to test this ability is to directly discard all electronic equipment and return to the original test of the soldier's personal qualities. Only in this way can we see it most clearly.
Li Zheng recently planned to use half a month to visit each battalion, live and train with the soldiers in the company, and find out what specific problems they had.
These things cannot be clarified by sitting in the brigade headquarters office building or by directly sending a notice to the company and battalion below to send a few reports for review.
On the mountain road, the soldiers of Squad 4 ran like dogs, each one opening their mouths and breathing heavily.
"stop!"
Monitor Chang Huan called out to everyone.
Everyone stopped shouting, and several soldiers squatted on the roadside, bending over, sweat and saliva dripping into the ground.
"What... what's going on... monitor..."
Class deputy Feng Jin came to Chang Huan's side, looked at his watch, and reminded: "We are running out of time."
"I know!"
Chang Huan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
This time I was definitely self-defeating.
He knew where the original reconnaissance target was. It was not his first time visiting this place. Chang Huan, a veteran, knew which road led to which way.
It's just that the time given this time is too urgent. If we follow the usual route, run along the winding mountain road and bypass several mountains, it will take at least 30 minutes to arrive.
Therefore, Chang Huan decided to take a shortcut this time.
People are like this, when they are anxious, they like to rush into the sky.
Ordinarily, there is no problem at all in taking a shortcut when time is tight. The order given by Chief of Staff Li Zheng did not specify a route. You can go there any way you want.
Just send back the reconnaissance information on time.
Running a long road can be done by just relying on memory.
Taking shortcuts is different.
To go directly over the mountain, you also have to wade across a river about five meters wide.
None of this is the point.
Scout, how can you be stumped by such a trivial matter?
The biggest problem lies in how to maintain the correct direction and how to continuously correct the azimuth angle during the process.
This involves topographic knowledge.
This isn't the point either.
Not the point...
A scout.
Who hasn’t learned how to read and use maps and azimuths?
Normally, it is very easy to use Beidou guidance.
But this time, Li Zheng said that the electronic equipment had been destroyed and Class 4 was required to operate it manually.
This is the point.
Manual operation requires the use of a compass and paper map.
If it's a normal march, it's easy to say that you can stop for a while and take out the north pointer to compare it with the paper map and the surrounding terrain.
Under normal circumstances, you can't go wrong.
Unfortunately, today's time is too urgent.
Departing from the reconnaissance vehicle, it is 6 kilometers to reach the designated target point.
Taking a small path can shorten the time. Based on the physical fitness of daily training, Class 4 can move to the target area within 25 minutes without any problem.
Chang Huan also reserved an extra 5 minutes and planned to arrive in 30 minutes.
It takes ten minutes to draw after arriving, which is fine.
He is a sergeant and has been in the company for a long time. He is a veteran. This manual drawing and fixed-point measurement is not a big challenge.
But what he didn't expect was that he had to take a shortcut through two mountains.
Although the altitude of these two mountains is not high, one is more than 100 meters, and the other is a small hillside dozens of meters high.
But I couldn't stand the dense forest in this area. When I went in, the sky was covered with leaves above my head. I couldn't see the sky, and I couldn't judge the location based on the surrounding topography.
This was unexpected by Chang Huan.
He hadn't walked this path for many years.
The earliest one was when I was a volunteer. The squad leader took me away once, but I never tried it again after that.
I thought I would be able to reach the target point within 30 minutes by relying on memory, a map and a compass.
Unexpectedly, after entering and running, the leader himself could not tell the direction, so he had to stop and do some azimuth calculations to determine the direction.
As a veteran, Chang Huan knows how important it is to constantly correct the direction of progress.
Once a deviation occurs and is not corrected in time, it means that you have gone in the wrong direction, or even gone too far without even knowing it.
Just correcting the azimuth angle cost the whole class a lot of time.
Even class deputy Feng Jin couldn't help but ask Chang Huan several times, class leader, do you still remember which way?
Chang Huan rides a tiger and is hard to get off.
I think highly of my own memory.
I also think highly of my ability to correct errors during exercise.
As a result, the team has stopped five times now.
Each of these five times was delayed by one or two minutes, so it took almost ten minutes in total.
Now that it was stopped for the fifth time, class deputy Feng Jin’s anxiety was already palpable.
You know, this is the newly appointed chief of staff who is watching. The cameras on everyone's helmets transmit every move of Squad 4 to the monitor screen of the company headquarters, and the person sitting in front of the monitor is the young chief of staff.
.
If the task cannot be completed on time, the company commander will most likely be criticized.
Snapped--
Snapped--
Big beads of sweat fell from Chang Huan's forehead and hit the map.
Feng Jin's inquiry made him confused.
Even though he knew that his every move was being watched by the leaders, he still couldn't control his emotions and yelled at Feng Jin: "Fuck you!"
The words he cursed were transmitted to the monitor in front of Li Zheng as they were.
Li Zheng couldn't help but laugh.
Peng Changhong, who was standing behind him, blushed.
It's not because Changle used swear words. Swear words are very common in the army. What's embarrassing is that his soldiers look a little flustered.
