Soldiers Assault: Starting from the 7th Steel Company

Chapter 44 Chengcai's mentality collapsed

Wang Qingrui continued to educate his subordinates: "Losing is losing, don't look for objective excuses! The Blue Army has air superiority, so why didn't we prepare anti-helicopter equipment in advance? And when the battle was at its most critical moment, our communication with the various troops was cut off. What was the reason? Ultimately, it's because we are used to fighting with favorable winds and conducting conventional exercises. Those who love war will perish, and those who forget war will be in danger!"

"Well said, old friend!"

At this time, an officer with the same rank as Wang Qingrui walked in from outside the door, followed by a major staff officer.

Wang Qingrui's expression changed immediately.
"Guards, guards!"

"Alright, alright, old buddy, don't blame the guards. I have a special pass from the exercise headquarters. I can go anywhere in the exercise area without any hindrance."

Wang Qingrui glared at the guards who rushed in, scaring them half to death.

However, the colonel of the Blue Army just waved his hand and asked them to go out first. They didn't dare to leave and just looked at the commander timidly.

The leader said angrily, "He's the victor. He's going to spare your lives. Why don't you leave and wait for me to pour you some tea?"

Several people retreated quickly as if they had been pardoned.

"Old buddy, don't get so angry about the exercise!"

The person who came was the captain of the Old A Special Brigade, the railway colonel.

He and Wang Qingrui were actually soldiers of the same year, and both were promoted under Gao Cheng's father Gao Jianjun. They actually had a very good relationship and could be said to be friends for life.

Wang Qingrui is good at leading troops to fight tough battles, and Tielu is good at leading troops to conduct reconnaissance. Both are Gao Jianjun's trusted and beloved generals.

Therefore, the railway knew Wang Qingrui's weakness so clearly that they beat him until he had no temper at all.

"Everyone cheer up and don't let others think that we can't afford to lose the battle!" Wang Qingrui ordered his men.

Everyone in the command room immediately tried to put on a high-spirited look.

Tieluo bowed repeatedly at this time, "Old man, I was wrong, isn't it okay? Really, don't be like this. Look, my troops fought you, and I suffered extremely heavy casualties."

As soon as the exercise ended, the exercise command reported the casualties on both sides.

So Wang Qingrui naturally knew that the Blue Army’s losses were insignificant compared to his own. Is this also called heavy casualties?

He snorted twice and was too angry to speak.

"Really? Our brigade has never fought such a brutal battle since its formation. My First Squadron, in particular, suffered a skirmish with your Seventh Steel Company. The casualties were over 20%, which was a serious injury. Remember, your soldiers are recruited from society, but mine are all selected from the army."

What Tieluo said was true, and it made Wang Qingrui's expression look a little better.

He handed Tielu a cigarette and asked, "Where exactly is your main defensive position?"

Railway took the lighter, lit it, took a puff, and then slowly exhaled the smoke rings in his lungs.
"There is no main position. We are divided into small groups and fight in teams."

"How is this possible? Wouldn't that be chaos?" Wang Qingrui looked incredulous. This was beyond his understanding of modern warfare.

But when he saw that the other party didn't answer and just smiled faintly, he felt that the other party was not lying. After all, the railway didn't like to tell lies. "Where is your headquarters? I've been looking for it, but I can't find it." This was what Wang Qingrui was most puzzled about.

Railway pointed to the sky with his right finger.

Wang Qingrui asked doubtfully, "You're not talking about that helicopter that's been circling around, are you?"

"That's right! I've always been right above your head!"

"How many people are there in your command center? How can so many people fit in the helicopter?" Wang Qingrui couldn't believe it.

His command center has more than a hundred people, even after being streamlined.

"Nine people in total, plus a data processing terminal." Tieluo said confidently, "My people can communicate with every soldier through this equipment, so on the battlefield, I can command every one of my soldiers! Plus, their individual combat capabilities are extremely outstanding, so they can be used as easily as my own arms."

Seeing Wang Qingrui's stunned expression, Tielu walked over to him and gently patted him on the shoulder. "Old buddy, this is the real purpose of our holding this exercise. Traditional tactics can no longer keep up with the pace of development."

As dusk fell, a bonfire was lit at the field camp of the 7th Steel Company.

But no one was in the mood to celebrate. Everyone looked listless and when people met each other, they were too lazy to even say a word.

Xu Sanduo also found Chengcai next to the most remote tent in the camp.

He was sitting there wiping his inseparable Type 85 sniper rifle over and over again.

"This rifle is a copy of the former Soviet Dragunov SVD sniper rifle, with an effective range of 800 meters and a 10-round magazine. Without a bayonet, it is 1.22 meters long and weighs 3.8 kilograms. It uses the Type 53 7.62×54mm rifle cartridge, with an initial velocity of 830 meters per second."

He memorized the performance parameters of the gun by heart, then asked Xu Sanduo with a wry smile,

"Look at her, isn't she pretty?"

Xu Sanduo has always been a layman when it comes to aesthetics, but he could feel that something was a little off with his fellow villager today, and he was not like this usually.

"Beautiful, she suits you very well."

"What the hell, she will belong to someone else soon!" Chengcai looked frustrated.

"How is that possible? Aren't you the best sniper in the company?" Xu Sanduo regretted what he said. There are two people in the Seventh Company who are better than him, isn't Chen Jiang, and isn't he himself?
As expected, Chengcai chuckled, "The best? Sandi, are you trying to put me down? Look at this exercise. I went to the company headquarters and secretly watched the results of the exercise and found out that you and Chen Jiang killed more enemies than me. Especially that Chen Jiang. Holy shit, where did he come from? Why did he give up his university studies and come to our 7th Steel Company?"

Chengcai was really gritting his teeth when he talked about Chen Jiang.

Although Xu Sanduo is excellent, his excellence is comprehensive. If it comes to shooting alone, I may not lose to him. In addition, I am much better at dealing with people than him, so the throne of sniper will definitely be mine.

But Chen Jiang is different. His shooting is so strong that he actually won the first place in shooting in the entire army. Is he still a human being?

What made him most desperate was that in this exercise, not only did he kill the most enemies in the entire regiment, but he also participated in capturing a lieutenant colonel officer of the Blue Army. Looking at himself, although he also killed several Blue Army soldiers, he was also "killed in action".

The difference is obvious after a comparison.
