As time went by, the forest gradually became darker, the humidity in the air became higher and higher, and the recruits' clothes began to become soaked with sweat, but they did not slow down.
In the open space, Qin Yuan set up an "enemy line" and marked multiple "enemy" hiding spots with flags.
The recruits need to bypass this line without being discovered by the "enemy", carry equipment at the same time, and simulate rescuing their trapped comrades, which quite tests their concealment skills.
When bypassing the "enemy line", Qin Yuan began to increase the difficulty. He instructed several veterans to sneak quietly behind the "enemy line". If the new soldiers were discovered, they must retreat immediately and try again.
Just as the recruits were carefully bypassing the enemy line, Qin Yuan suddenly blew the whistle, and all the recruits immediately stopped. He walked slowly to a recruit who had just been discovered by the veteran, with a firm look in his eyes.
"What does a mistake mean on a real battlefield?" he asked coldly.
"You may pay the price with your life, instructor." The recruit answered simply and neatly, with a trace of shame in his eyes.
"Continue." Qin Yuan waved his hand, and the recruits quickly resumed their formation and started practicing again.
The muddy path finally extended to an open area in the valley, surrounded by towering trees, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate, leaving only sparse spots.
Qin Yuan led the team to move forward, and they came to a natural obstacle area, which was full of fallen trees and slippery rocks.
He raised his hand to signal to stop, and then pointed to a stream ahead, where was the water source they had to find.
But to reach the stream, they need to crawl through an area full of thorns and shrubs, and these thorns and shrubs are specially hung with tiny bells. If they are not careful, they will make a sound to alert the simulated "enemy".
The recruits moved cautiously, trying to slow down their pace and move low. The bells in the bushes swayed gently, making a subtle tinkling sound, filling the air with a tense atmosphere.
They gently pushed aside the thorns with their sabers, lowered their bodies, and moved forward as close to the ground as possible. Some of the recruits' clothes were torn by the thorns, revealing stains of blood.
In the bushes, the recruits' breathing became more rapid, and sweat flowed into their eyes, but they still resisted and did not dare to wipe it. Every slight shake of the bell made their heart beat faster.
At this moment, any slight mistake may lead to the failure of the entire team. Their nerves are tense, tactical gestures are passed among the team, and their tacit understanding and discipline are greatly tested.
Qin Yuan stood on the edge of the bush, his sharp eyes watching every movement of the new recruits. The veterans who were traveling with him were also not idle. They were scattered in different positions, ready to attack the new recruits at any time to simulate the surprise in actual combat.
hair condition.
As the recruits were struggling to advance, Qin Yuan's ears occasionally heard the sound of subtle bells. At this time, he couldn't help but frown, but he didn't make any sound and just continued to observe.
Finally, a few recruits successfully crossed through the area full of thorns and bells and arrived at the creek. They quickly took out the water bottles they carried and began to replenish the water source.
Qin Yuan looked at the recruits who had gradually gathered by the stream, took a deep breath, and then stepped through the thorns, avoiding all the bells with ease.
"Rest for five minutes, and then we will continue." Qin Yuan said calmly. He saw the recruits sweating profusely, their faces full of exhaustion, but their eyes remained firm.
The five-minute break passed quickly, and he blew the whistle again, and all the recruits quickly assembled into teams.
"Next, we will conduct cover rescue training." Qin Yuan pointed to a gravel slope not far away, "Time is limited, you need to safely transfer the simulated wounded to a safe area in the shortest possible time."
The recruits did not hesitate and immediately devoted themselves to their new tasks. They carefully chose their marching route, trying to avoid areas where their sight was easily exposed, and at the same time looking for natural barriers that could cover their march.
The veterans were still lurking in the dark, ready to attack the new recruits at any time. The dank atmosphere of the tropical rainforest was suffocating, and water droplets condensed on the leaves dripped from time to time, hitting the new recruits' helmets.
The subtle sounds are extremely clear in the quiet air, and every movement may be a precursor to the actions of the lurking enemy.
At the groove on the top of the slope, some recruits discovered their "wounded" and immediately waved to other team members to come forward. They carefully lifted the "wounded" on a simple stretcher, constantly observing the surrounding environment during the process, looking for the fastest and most efficient way.
Safe escape route.
Qin Yuan stood at a high place and watched the recruits gradually gather the "wounded" at the designated location. At this moment, a harsh sound came from a corner, followed by a simulated smoke bomb exploding at the feet of the recruits.
, the tense atmosphere reached its peak in an instant, and the "enemy" began to simulate an assault!
As the smoke spread, the vision became blurred, and the ears of the new recruits were filled with the simulated tactical exchanges of the veterans.
"Everyone be alert and pay attention to the enemy's position!" Qin Yuan reminded loudly, his voice penetrating the thick smoke.
He observed quietly, ready to correct the mistakes of the new recruits at any time. Qin Yuan approached one of the groups and found that they had ignored the side defenses during their retreat.
He tapped the recruits on the shoulders a few times and calmly pointed to their flanks, signaling them to immediately rearrange their defense lines. Needless to say, the small movements and eyes made the recruits understand their mistakes, and they immediately adjusted their formation to form a complete formation.
defensive circle.
The smoke gradually dissipated, and Qin Yuan watched the recruits perform operations nervously and attentively under high pressure. His eyes became more severe, but there was also a trace of imperceptible appreciation mixed in them.
The training in this environment is to enable them to quickly respond to changes in the real battlefield, and to meet the highest requirements both physically and mentally.
"The formation is too compact and it is easy to concentrate enemy fire. Spread out." Qin Yuan's voice was low, but it sounded very clear in the silent valley.
At the foot of the rocky slope, they tacitly established multiple temporary shelter points so that they could quickly hide and counterattack when encountering a surprise attack.
The smell of smoke gradually dissipated, but the sweat and tense atmosphere still weighed on everyone's heart. The recruits who completed the mission promptly guided the route for their subsequent comrades, demonstrating the team spirit gradually developed during training.
After a period of arduous trek, they finally succeeded in moving the "wounded" to a safe area. The veterans watched silently in the dark and did not attack again, but chose to observe the performance of the new recruits.
Qin Yuan did not comment much on the performance of these new recruits. Frankly speaking, if they were not trained here by Qin Yuan and trained under other people, such performance would be enough to be described as excellent.
But Qin Yuan is different. In his opinion, this is just a passing grade.
Of course, this is also related to the short training time. Qin Yuan can see that as long as these recruits are given enough time, their achievements will not be lower than others.
"That's it for today's training. I allow you to rest for a day. After one day, I will let you deeply feel the effect of these few days of training."
Hearing Qin Yuan's words, the recruits were nervous and expectant. They could more or less feel the difference from before, but they couldn't tell how big the change was.
After Qin Yuan left, he happened to meet He Chenguang. He Chenguang and the others knew what Qin Yuan had been doing these days.
"Captain, those recruits have suffered a lot these days, haven't they? What was the result?"
He Chenguang said in a joking tone, he knew very well how abnormal Qin Yuan's training was, and not everyone could bear it.
Looking at He Chenguang's expression, Qin Yuan was worried about who he could look for to practice with the new recruits, so this was the right time for him to come to his door.
Suddenly a chill hit him. He Chenguang subconsciously felt something was wrong and wanted to run away, but was stopped by Qin Yuan.
"Where do you want to go? Don't you want to know how those new recruits are doing? Just call the others and practice with them and you will know."
Qin Yuan didn't give He Chenguang a chance to refuse at all. This matter had been decided the moment he said it, and there was no way He Chenguang could refuse.
Soon, word of the exercise spread among the team, and many people wanted to join in the fun.
Two days later, at Qin Yuan's request, He Chenguang called Li Erniu, Wang Yanbing and others. Needless to say, their strength was top-notch, and their actual combat level was even top-notch, so even though there were many more recruits than them,
, that does not affect the fairness of this exercise.
The two sides came to the simulated battlefield at the base, and everyone had a non-lethal paintball gun in their hands. This exercise did not eliminate anyone, and the winner or loser would ultimately be determined by the amount of paint on both sides.
"There are no restrictions in this exercise. Apart from not attacking vital parts, we must do everything we can to attack the opponent..."
Qin Yuan briefly explained the rules. Basically, you can play freely without too many restrictions.
His purpose is very simple, which is to test the effectiveness of the training of these new recruits in actual combat over the past few days.
As the signal gun was fired, everyone immediately rushed into the rainforest. The scope of this simulated battlefield was very large, and the environment basically covered all the scenes of previous training.
The recruits dispersed quickly, using their previous training experience to find cover points and make tactical arrangements, while He Chenguang and others used their years of combat experience to launch a meticulous pursuit and layout.
In this simulated battle, everyone was highly nervous. The sounds of each other's footsteps and breathing were intertwined, as if every second was a moment that determined life and death.
Qin Yuan stood at a high place and carefully observed everyone's movements through the monitor. From the tacit cooperation of the recruits, he would occasionally show a satisfied smile, but more often, his face remained serious.
He Chenguang quickly discovered the location of several recruits. He gestured to his comrades around him and tried to outflank them.
However, the recruits were not a vegetarian. They reacted quickly and made several large jumps to hide their exposed positions again.
Loess splashed, and the sound of popping Easter eggs kept coming from the woods. Those who were hit jumped up from the grass. Although their faces were covered with paint, their eyes did not slacken at all.
"The reaction of these recruits is really not slow." Li Erniu sighed. He and He Chenguang were advancing on a hidden path, searching for traces of the recruits.
"Indeed, I didn't expect that a few days of high-intensity training would actually make them grow so much." He Chenguang nodded.
As the exercise progressed, He Chenguang and Li Erniu began to adopt more rigorous tactics. They marched quietly and silently deep in the dense forest, staring at every possible bunker.
The performance of the new recruits was impressive. They not only passively avoided, but also used the skills they had learned before to fight back.
Some used the terrain to set up temporary traps, while others used tree trunks and bushes to move quickly to avoid the pursuit of the veterans. Even Qin Yuan, who was observing from a distance, had to nod slightly in approval.
However, Qin Yuan still remained serious in his heart. He knew that although the reaction ability and adaptability of these recruits had improved, they were still some distance away from the real combat level.
Rapid footsteps approached. He Chenguang and Li Erniu stopped at the same time, looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then dispersed to find suitable hiding spots.
Several recruits were running hard. They seemed to be aware of the pursuers behind them, but they did not stop. Instead, they gradually formed a circle to cover each other's progress.
In the bushes not far away, He Chenguang's eyes were like lightning, and he had already seen clearly the intentions of the recruits. He made a brief gesture to Li Erniu, telling him to go around to the left, and the two of them were ready to give the recruits the best opportunity.
A fatal pincer attack.
At the same time, a recruit suddenly stopped and signaled his teammates to also pause. He leaned down and put his ear to the ground, feeling a slight vibration. With the tactical instinct developed over the past few days, he realized that the enemy was close at hand.
"Be careful, they seem to have discovered us." Li Erniu whispered.
He Chenguang nodded and continued to sneak. He knew that these recruits had already demonstrated excellent observation and judgment, but this was not enough. They still needed more training.
As the exercise continued to progress, the entire simulated battlefield became more and more tense. Qin Yuan stood at a high place and still did not miss any details through the monitor.
His eyes sometimes stayed on the clever cover and counterattack of the new recruits, and sometimes turned to the experienced He Chenguang and Li Erniu, observing how they used tactics to force the new recruits to make mistakes.
The recruits scattered around the jungle, carefully monitoring the movements around them. Using the experience they gained during training, they cleverly selected several relatively hidden locations to cover each other and remain vigilant.
He Chenguang and Li Erniu, like predators, quietly approached these recruits with silent steps, forcing them to use various strategies to deal with them.
The two teams of men and horses circled in the undulating terrain, and the explosions of paintball guns continued one after another, and the battlefield became more and more intense.
