Soldiers Assault: Starting from the 7th Steel Company

Chapter 72 Risk it
Wu Liuyi and Chen Jiang looked at each other.
"Chengcai, this is not good, right?"

"What's wrong?"

Chengcai didn't expect that there would be people who would oppose it?
"Didn't they tell us before we started that our selection venue is a no-man's land? There shouldn't be a place like Class 5. If we come here to get food, it would be cheating!"

Wu Liuyi said this very seriously.

"Chen Jiang, tell me, should we eat this? We eat rat meat and snake meat, so why not eat the noodles here? This isn't food, this is an opportunity, a chance to get into Old A!"

Chengcai can only place his hopes on the highly prestigious Chen Jiang.

"Chengcai, Class 5's deputy is right. If we eat this, we'll be cheating. In fact, it's a bit illegal for us to hide in this room. After all, according to the pre-set conditions of the selection competition, there is no place like Class 5 that we are familiar with to hide."

"Chen Jiang is right, contentment is the greatest happiness! If we get the food here to eat, it would be cheating, and I will look down on myself for the rest of my life!" Wu Liuyi advised again.

Xu Sanduo took out his pack of field rations and said, "Chengcai, if you're really too hungry to bear it, eat this!"

Chengcai looked at his other comrade again, and the other person lowered his head. No one knew what he meant.

But now three out of five people are against it, and the minority has to obey the majority, so this idea has to be abandoned.

"Sanduo, if I go to the kitchen to get something to eat, at most my intestines will rot or something, but if I eat this bag of yours, then my whole body will rot and I will become a rotten person!"

He threw back the field rations and said angrily,
"You're the only ones who are noble, and I'm the only one who's filthy. Enough! I'm telling you, you have high ideological awareness, and I'm not much worse either! Go to sleep!"

He lowered his helmet, hugged his sniper rifle and fell asleep.

"Everyone get some sleep, tomorrow morning is the most critical moment!"

Chen Jiang was also very tired. Although he was hungry, he was really sleepy. He simply didn't think about anything and took a nap to recover his energy.

I slept very soundly, probably because the location here is relatively secluded and I don’t have to worry about being discovered.

Moreover, this is the first time I have lived in the house in the past two days. Even though the house is shabby and dirty, why should I care so much right now?

When Chen Jiang woke up, it was still dark and Chengcai was already standing at the vent, looking outside vigilantly.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Chengcai knew it was Chen Jiang without turning his head. This is a good perception that a sniper must have.

"Haha, I've slept long enough. How about you? Did you just wake up too?"

At this time, Chengcai turned his head and said, "I want to tell you that I didn't sleep all night, do you believe it?"

Although Chen Jiang couldn't see Chengcai's expression and eyes clearly, he could feel from his slightly hoarse voice that he was indeed very tired, so what he said was very likely true.

But if you think about it, you can understand.
Chengcai is different from himself. He really has no way out. If he is not selected, he will have to come back here. The scene brings back memories. How can he sleep?

It's the same principle as buying a lottery ticket. If you only spent two dollars, you probably wouldn't care whether you win or not, and you might not even notice if you lost the lottery ticket.

But if you spent two million to buy a multiple-choice ticket, and even got the money by borrowing from a loan shark, your mentality would be completely different.

The most painful thing for a person is that what he puts in is not proportional to what he gets out.

Not long after, everyone woke up one after another. People's biological clocks had already gotten used to it.
"Now that we've rested enough, let's set off!"

The group tiptoed out of the Fifth Squad's base and continued toward their destination. Since the reconnaissance battalion's interception zone was right behind them, it was clear that their destination was just ahead. Although hunger and fatigue were unbearable, the thought of their destination just ahead gave them a boost of energy, encouraging each other to keep going.

Not long after they started walking, Chengcai, the vanguard at the front, suddenly widened his eyes and covered his mouth tightly. This action made Wu Liuyi and others behind him a little puzzled.

"what happened?"

Chengcai finally calmed down and said, "We succeeded. The main battlefield that Old A mentioned is right in front of us! Haha!"

After that, he handed the sniper rifle in his hand to Wu Liuyi and asked him to look at it himself. Chen Jiang also used his 88 sniper rifle to look at it.
There is a mountain next to Shuipaozi, and behind the mountain is a pine forest!

This is it!
The five people were ecstatic. After enduring for so long, they finally saw some progress.

Of course, they now have five people, but there are only four places available. This is indeed a big problem, but this is not something to consider now. They have already felt the joy of victory by being able to rush here.

"After seeing the situation ahead, can you still laugh?"

Chen Jiang handed the 88 sniper rifle in his hand to Xu Sanduo.

Xu Sanduo's eyesight was also very good. He looked through the scope and frowned tightly.

"There are several heavy machine gun positions and several snipers. There's also a depression behind us. We can't see what's going on inside, so there might be reinforcements. How can we get through this place?"

After Xu Sanduo said this, everyone began to observe carefully. After seeing this, they were disappointed.

How could we possibly break through this kind of defensive strength?

Although it is difficult, the reconnaissance of the enemy's main position must be completed with quality and quantity guaranteed. This kind of thing is a piece of cake for the top students of the 7th Steel Company.

The biggest problem now is how to pass it.

"Is it possible to infiltrate in disguise?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult. The situation here is completely different from that there last night. I can't use the same trick again."

"What if we feint an attack on one side but actually charge the other?" Chengcai was a little anxious.

Chen Jiang shook his head. "It's useless. The enemy has at least a reinforced company of troops, and we only have a few of us. A feint attack will not only be ineffective, but will only disperse our strength in vain."

Xu Sanduo suddenly suggested, "There's a river at the edge. If we swim across now before dawn, there's still a chance of survival!"

Wu Liuyi's face dropped as he heard this. "Are you crazy? The water temperature is incredibly low at this time of year. We're carrying over 30 kilograms of gear, which will be even heavier if it gets wet. Crossing the river like this could be fatal."

"Yes, unless you are very good at swimming, you have to hide your whereabouts and show your head as little as possible, which is very difficult."

Chengcai’s swimming ability is not bad, but that was when he was alone without any equipment.

The 7th Steel Company is an armored reconnaissance company, not a marine frogman special forces company. The risk of armed swimming under such conditions is too great.

"But if you don't get through, you will be eliminated. After daybreak, it will be even more difficult to get through!" Xu Sanduo rarely insisted on his own opinion.
