My Military Career in a Parallel World

After the successful infiltration, Jiang Chen did not relax his vigilance. They were still within the enemy's blockade line and had to leave as soon as possible.

With the Beidou positioning and navigation system, Jiang Chen and others don’t have to worry about getting lost even in the pitch-dark jungle.

Continue along the route that has already been planned on the device.

After walking for about an hour, the woods disappeared and a river appeared in front of us.

At the same time, the voice of Second Company Commander Cai Yaohua sounded in the headset at the right time.

"In this level, you need to make your own rafts and follow the river to the designated location downstream. The time limit is two hours. Points will be deducted if you fall into the water, if the boat falls apart, or if you fail to arrive within the specified time."

As he was speaking, a rustling sound suddenly came from the woods not far away.

The members of Team 3 subconsciously raised their guns and took a guard posture until the other party's figure came into view, and then they let down their guard.

The person who came was none other than one of the participating teams from other companies that had been seen at the assembly point before.

The other party was obviously stunned when they saw Jiang Chen and others who arrived earlier. Then they saw the leading sergeant put his fingers on the earphone as if listening. It was obvious that they had also received the task of crossing the river.

The two sides had no intention of talking. After looking at each other, they prepared to take action.

At this moment, there was another noise in the jungle not far away, and dozens of guns were raised at the same time and aimed at the direction where the sound came from.

Ten seconds later, the same scene happened again, and another team came over.

Feeling the slightly tense atmosphere at the scene, Jiang Chen thought to himself: "Trouble!"

This forest may seem large, but there are actually only one or two places suitable for building a raft.

The best location is naturally the one next to the river bank. After the raft is built, you can launch it into the water immediately, which can save a lot of trouble and preserve your physical strength to the greatest extent.

Moreover, there are not many trees in the forest that can be used for felling. After all, this is a simulated combat, not a real combat, and not all trees can be cut down at will.

What's more, the only tool suitable for chopping is an engineer shovel. This thing is said to have countless functions, but don't forget that omnipotence is also a synonym for mediocrity.

It is true that the engineer shovel is useful. It is fine to use it to cut bushes and branches, etc., but if you want to use it as an axe to cut down trees, then you will be in trouble.

It's not a big deal if there are two teams of a dozen or twenty people, as this piece of forest can barely meet their needs. But if we add another team of ten or so people, it will be hard to say.

Besides, who knows if there will be other teams coming later.

Good things don’t work, but bad things do!

Just as Jiang Chen was thinking, there was another sound of rustling footsteps coming from the woods.

Moreover, the same noise came from not just one direction, but also from the other side.

"Damn! Why are there so many people?!" Hu Kai on the side couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

From the beginning of the assessment to now, the most they had encountered was three teams performing the same task at the same time, but now there were five teams with forty to fifty people, which obviously exceeded everyone's expectations.

But this is exactly the effect that the director department wants.

A voice came from the headset connected to the director's office again: "No lethal weapons such as firearms and daggers may be used, no casualties may be caused, and no other normal means of competition will be restricted. After two hours, any team that fails to reach the target point on time will have 30 points deducted from their team score.

For teams with a team score below 60, all members will fail the assessment regardless of their individual scores. For teams with a score below 80, all members of the team will receive a high score in the year-end assessment..."

After hearing the director's orders in the headset, everyone's face changed instantly.

What does this sentence mean?

If the team score does not meet the standards, no matter how good your individual performance is, even if you are the best in all subjects, it will be useless.

This is not difficult to understand. The power of a team, the power of the collective, is always greater than individual power.

In modern warfare, the role that individual strength can play is very limited. If it cannot be integrated into the collective or team, no matter how strong the strength is, it will be useless.

Being strong alone is not considered strong; only when a group of people are strong is it truly strong.

This is also the reason why the Chief of Staff divided the assessment scores into two parts, setting team points and individual points.

The team is the lower limit. If you can't even guarantee this lower limit, then what's the point of your personal performance being so good?

Could it be that during a war, you would charge forward alone with a machine gun?

Even special forces, which are considered by ordinary soldiers to be full of personal heroism, will never hire a soldier who is full of individualism and cannot integrate into the team.

To put it bluntly, if there really is such a person, he will definitely be the first to be eliminated.

Any hesitation for even a second longer would be irresponsible for the lives of his soldiers.

……

The sound in the headset disappeared, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became solemn.

Looking at the other teams on the opposite side who showed no intention of backing down, Jiang Chen silently took off his backpack and put it aside. The others had the same reaction.

Only a few squad leaders were still standing at the front of the team, looking at each other.

The people at the scene were all from the reconnaissance battalion and the police detective company. It was normal for Jiang Chen, a new recruit who had just been in the company for less than half a year, not to know them, but veterans like Li Gang were very familiar with each other.

None of these guys in front of me are easy to talk to.

A person who is easy to talk to cannot become a scout, let alone a squad leader of a reconnaissance company.

If you can control a group of arrogant and powerful soldiers, how can you do that without some capable men under you?

"Let's talk about it?" A squad leader with the rank of third-term non-commissioned officer took the initiative to speak: "It's not a good idea to continue to be deadlocked like this. We have to come up with some rules, right?"

"Haha, Lao Liu, when did you become the political commissar? Why do you talk in such a complicated way?" Another non-commissioned officer sneered and said disdainfully.

"Then what do you say we should do? We can't keep on confronting each other like this!" The sergeant called Lao Liu was not annoyed. He glanced at the man and asked back.

"It's simple. Let your fists speak. Whoever has the bigger fist has the final say!!"

In fact, the answer was already determined after the director's department set the rules.

Before the ship is launched, they can compete by any means as long as it is not fatal and does not cause casualties.

And for soldiers, what method is the most convincing?

The answer is obvious.

The simplest and most straightforward method is to have a fight. If you win, you can choose the place first, and if you lose, you just stand aside.

"Then let's have a fight. I've taken a fancy to this place. Anyone who doesn't accept it can come over!"

Apparently, he's not the only one who thinks this way.

As soon as the words fell, someone stood up immediately.

Jiang Chen knew this person. He was a squad leader of the second company next door. He and Li Gang had bullied each other during training in the camp before.

"Haha, Lao Wang, are you so anxious to get beaten?" Sure enough, Li Gang stood up the next second.

There was no other way. The location he chose was none other than a location near the river bank not far behind the people of Team Three.

Class three was the first team to arrive and was naturally closest to the river bank. After receiving the mission details, everyone tacitly regarded this place as their territory.

Since the other party wanted to snatch food from their mouths, they naturally would not agree.

"Hey, Gangzi, it's still unclear who will get beaten!"

As squad leader Wang finished speaking, the team members behind him had already taken off their equipment and formed a battle formation, looking directly at Jiang Chen and the others.

Seeing that someone had already drawn a line, the other squad leaders looked at each other and waved their hands to have the people in their squad step back to make room for the two sides to fight.

As the deputy squad leader, Jiang Chen would naturally not back down at this time. He took off his weapons and equipment, took the lead in coming to Li Gang and looking at the deputy squad leader of the opposite class.

"Yoho, are you a private soldier? Don't lie down before I can even move!"

The deputy squad leader on the opposite side was naturally familiar with Jiang Chen, the famous recruit.

Not only was he familiar with it, but he had also been taught a lesson by Jiang Chen when the third and second companies had been arguing on the playground.

After running five kilometers with a load, he couldn't even catch up with a new recruit. After returning, he was almost beaten to death by their platoon leader.

It was also from that day on that he started to keep a record of Private Jiang Chen and thought about how to get back at him.

This is the daily routine of the soldiers in the second and third companies.

However, Jiang Chen obviously didn't know what happened to him. Facing the other party's provocation, Jiang Chen didn't get angry, but just said lightly: "Comrade unknown veteran, just don't cry when you lose later."

Seeing Jiang Chen's indifferent attitude as if he didn't take him seriously at all, his anger rose rapidly.

In particular, someone in the crowd watching on the side couldn't help but burst out laughing, which irritated him even more.

Seeing that the other side was ready, he didn't continue talking nonsense and rushed towards Jiang Chen first.

"Md, you are just a private soldier, why are you trying to act so high and mighty in front of me? I will teach you a lesson today and let you know how powerful the horse king is!"

"I don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has, but if you want me to learn a lesson, you are not qualified!"

Jiang Chen did not give in and directly retorted back. While speaking, he began to move, not retreating but advancing, and took the initiative to face the other party.

Although Jiang Chen has a great reputation, the details of what happened are actually only known to people within the Third Company.

Even when he was in the production company and had conflicts with people from the police detective company, most of the conflicts were over events such as the 400-meter obstacle course and armed cross-country race.

As for fighting.

Because we have been very busy recently, no internal competition has been held within the company. Except for one platoon of soldiers, not even the people in the third company themselves know about it, let alone other companies.

Coincidentally, there were exactly nine people in the other class, no more, no less, so one was just enough for each person.

Soldiers against soldiers, against generals.

As deputy monitors of both sides, the two collided with each other as expected. Others had no intention of coming to help and chose to bypass them tacitly.

The distance of dozens of meters was crossed in the blink of an eye. The deputy squad leader who had been shouting non-stop took the lead and threw a straight punch straight at Jiang Chen's face.

This move seems powerful, but in fact it is just a test.

He is not stupid. A private soldier who has just been in the company for more than a month can be promoted to deputy squad leader. Others have no objection to this. This must mean that his subordinates must have real skills.

So, even though he seems to be very aggressive, he is actually very careful when he really encounters something.

After arriving at the reconnaissance company, the big boss Li Gang's data had been updated countless times, and with other people serving as sparring partners, Jiang Chen's fighting skills had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Jiang Chen can now fight Li Gang, the boss who he could never beat before, back and forth with him. When he is lucky, he can even make the opponent suffer a little or even defeat him.

Although the fighting skills of this guy in front of him are good, there is still some gap between him and the level of Li Gang, a quasi-special forces soldier.

In reality, when soldiers from both sides fight, they rarely use leg skills, and even if they do, they mostly target the lower three routes.

The reason is simple. The weight on their bodies does not allow them to use moves with too large an arc, because the speed is too slow and will give the opponent time to react, revealing their flaws.

Now that we are no longer bound by the weight, we naturally don’t have to worry about these problems anymore.

Jiang Chen just took a slight step back to break his opponent's attack.

If the opponent insists on attacking, what will greet him is Jiang Chen's kick with his muscles tensed and ready.

Not only can the arms not twist as far as the thighs, but the attack range is also far shorter than the thighs.

The opponent obviously knew this, and changed his moves decisively, pulling back his fist and raising his leg at the same time...

Jiang Chen countered the opponent's move and raised his arm to block the opponent's powerful kick.

Not only was he testing the opponent because he was unsure, he was also testing the opponent's strength.

Again, anyone who can come to the reconnaissance company and become a deputy squad leader is not a simple person.

Fighting is a basic skill for scouts, so how can he be bad at this skill if he can become a deputy squad leader?

After several rounds of fighting, the two gradually got to know each other's strengths.

"Damn it, how can a new recruit be so good at fighting!" The deputy squad leader of the second company couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Jiang Chen felt much more relaxed. Although his opponent was strong, he was far from being unable to deal with him.

On the other side, the main generals of both sides also collided with each other.

As an old rival, Squad Leader Wang was naturally well aware of Li Gang's strength. Therefore, he was very self-aware and did not choose to confront the opponent head-on. Instead, he adopted the same style as Jiang Chen, defensive counterattack.

As long as you can hold on until someone on your team defeats the opponent first, you win.

He was also very confident about this because the opponent's deputy squad leader was only a private.

Although this private has a great reputation, his enlistment time is limited, so no matter how strong he is, how strong can he be?

Fighting is not a skill that can be mastered in a day or two.

However, when he took advantage of a break in the battle and saw the deputy monitor who was so overwhelmed by Jiang Chen's continuous attacks that he couldn't even raise his head and seemed like he might be defeated at any time, his heart instantly sank to the bottom.

"Hehe, Lao Wang, if you ask me, you should just admit defeat and suffer less!" Li Gang naturally noticed the other party's little movements, and he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.

"Nonsense, would I be afraid of you?!" Although he felt extremely bitter in his heart, he did not lose the upper hand at all.

However, just as he finished speaking, he saw his deputy squad leader, who had a loophole in his defense, was kicked directly in the stomach by Jiang Chen. Now he was lying on the ground holding his stomach, and it was obvious that there was no possibility for him to continue fighting.
