Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 23 The Exercise Begins (Please add to your favorites, give monthly tickets, and recommend this chapter)

The Dagong Regiment's barracks were very quiet in the early morning, with scattered lights dotting the solemn military camp.

Suddenly, the piercing battle alarm blared throughout the entire barracks! The silent camp was instantly roused. Soldiers quickly donned their gear, rushed out of their barracks, and assembled rapidly at the company level. Infantry fighting vehicles pulled out of the garage, and the entire regiment assembled on emergency alert!
At the entrance of the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company's dormitory, Chang Ning was the first to rush out and saw Miao Lian standing there, already wearing a helmet and holding a gun.

Seeing Chang Ning come out first, Miao Lian's face showed a mixture of relief and pride. He believed that Chang Ning would soon be the pride of the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company!

After Chang Ning took his position, the other comrades from the reconnaissance company gradually assembled and stood in front of Miao Lian.

The duty officer jogged up to Miao Lian, saluted, and reported: "Comrade Company Commander, the entire Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company is assembled. Please give instructions!"

Miao Lian returned the salute: "Enter the ranks!"

"Yes!"

After the duty officers took their positions, Miao Lian looked at the spirited soldiers in front of him and said, "At ease, comrades! According to an emergency order from the military region headquarters, the annual exercise begins!"
My army group is a Red Army unit, my regiment is the vanguard regiment of the entire Red Army, and our reconnaissance company is the eyes and daggers of the entire regiment!

Comrades, are you confident that you can accomplish this mission?

"Have!"

Then Miao Lian said sternly, "We've been training for a thousand days, but we're going to use them for one! Comrades, this exercise is war, and the front line is the battlefield! We are facing the real enemy!"

The enemy is armed to the teeth; the enemy is cunning and cruel!

To win this war, we must give full play to the excellent style of our reconnaissance soldiers!
Be brave and tenacious, and seize victory!

Chang Ning and the other soldiers in the ranks felt their blood boil with excitement, inspired by Miao Lian. They roared in unison, "Be brave and tenacious! Seize victory!"

Seeing that the troops were in good spirits, Miao Lian glanced at his watch and knew it was almost time, so he ordered them to set off.

Chen Guotao stepped forward and shouted, "First platoon, listen to my command, board the vehicle!"

After saying that, he led a line of soldiers toward the troop carrier.

Chang Ning is now also part of the first platoon's combat sequence. He followed Lao Pao into the vehicle. It was his first time participating in an exercise, so he needed Lao Pao, a veteran, to give him some pointers.

Exercises are like real combat; we cannot be careless!
"Don't be nervous, just do your best, and remember to obey orders!"

The old man noticed that Chang Ning, who was sitting next to him, was nervous, and he tried to comfort him.

The veterans looked at the private, whose equipment was different from theirs, with kind eyes.

"Chang Ning, you get nervous sometimes too. Don't worry, just come with me when the time comes."

Cui Lianhe acted like an elder brother, taking on all the responsibilities.

Before Chang Ning could speak, the private sitting next to Lao Cui started to undermine Lao Cui.

"Come on, I'm embarrassed to even mention your record from last time! With Chang Ning's strength, it's really hard to say who will lead whom."

"You're trying to sabotage me, aren't you? You just wait!"

As he spoke, Old Cui was about to lunge forward.

"Come on, do you really think I'm afraid of you!"

"Okay, be quiet!"

Seeing that things had gotten out of hand, the veteran quickly spoke up to stop them, saying that minor disturbances were fine, as long as Chen Guotao didn't find out.

If we get caught, we'll all get a scolding. This is a drill, we can't be careless.

After everyone's commotion, Chang Ning's tense nerves relaxed. He touched the pistol in his pocket, feeling a sense of peace.

'What's there to be nervous about? As long as I obey orders, how could a lowly soldier like me possibly influence the course of the battle? Chang Ning, you're so pathetic! You have a system, what are you afraid of!' Thinking this, Chang Ning secretly summoned his experience bar, which was already full. It was projected directly onto Chang Ning's retina, invisible to others.

Name: Chang Ning

"Age: 19 years old"

"Stamina: 400 / ??? (The average stamina for an adult male is 100)"

"Rifle Shooting: 100/100 (Cannot be upgraded)"

"Knife Skill: 100/100 (Cannot be upgraded)"

Sniper Rifle Shooting: 90/100

"Note: The level of this system is linked to the host's military rank. Please strive hard!"

With Sergeant Ma's notebook, Chang Ning's sniping skill experience bar was successfully boosted to 90 points. Based on the experience from the last rifle shooting session, this upgrade in sniping skills requires completing a specific mission or eliminating a valuable target.

The most valuable person in this exercise was undoubtedly the Blue Team commander.

But the thought that he would never have the chance to act alone made Chang Ning suppress his unrealistic ideas. This wasn't a novel where a private could easily break away from the ranks and act alone.

'With these four experience points, getting a third-class merit shouldn't be too difficult, right?'

Chang Ning was plotting how to make a contribution, as this was a major event concerning the upgrade of his cheat ability!

……

Mechanized troops are advancing along the highways nestled among the mountains.

The military train, camouflaged with netting and loaded with soldiers and various combat vehicles, was like an unstoppable steel torrent.

A strategic strike force composed of missile transport vehicles, command vehicles, logistics support vehicles, and satellite communication vehicles from the Second Artillery Corps' surface-to-surface missile brigade sped along a highway whose traffic had been temporarily disrupted.

Su-27 fighter jets flew through the clouds from time to time, the army's mechanized forces moved along the mountains, and the main battle tanks were lined up in columns, looking imposing and powerful.

Comrades from the Army Aviation Corps flew helicopters overhead at low altitudes. Sometimes they had to take on patrol missions. An atmosphere of impending battle enveloped everyone on this front!

In a thicket on a distant hillside, Chang Ning and his comrades lay quietly on the ground, peering through the gaps in the vegetation and observing the position with binoculars.

This is the second Blue Team position they have found.

What's most important on the battlefield? Intelligence, of course. Therefore, reconnaissance units are the first to enter the battlefield and the first to engage in combat, resulting in a dramatic increase in casualties.

The Night Tigers reconnaissance company was quite lucky; they didn't encounter any Blue Force reconnaissance units since they penetrated deep behind enemy lines. Perhaps they were well-hidden, or perhaps the enemy had already laid a trap for them.

None of this concerns Chang Ning. His primary task now is to maintain vigilance and locate and eliminate the Blue Army's snipers.

This was the mission for all the snipers in the company, but Chang Ning was a special case. He could charge into battle at close range and provide cover for his comrades with sniper fire from a distance.

The woods were quiet. Behind him, the communications officer lowered his voice and repeatedly called into the microphone, "Sharp Knife calling, please respond if you hear me..."

His fingers were adjusting the radio frequency, but the radio didn't respond at all.

After exhausting all other means, the communications officer looked up and reported to Chen Guotao: "The Blue Army has implemented strong electronic jamming, but headquarters has not responded at all."

Chen Guotao was taking pictures of the Blue Army's position in the distance with a telephoto camera when he heard the report. He turned around and said, "It seems the Blue Army has put their newly formed electronic warfare regiment to use. Keep calling."

If all else fails, send someone disguised to smuggle intelligence through the blockade.
