Chapter 206: The th Steel Company suffered heavy losses at the beginning
After Yuan Lang announced the rules and tasks of the competition, the contestants were taken to the other side to receive weapons and ammunition, as well as the laser simulation equipment necessary for the exercise.
Yuan Lang also has to lead his men to the war zone to make deployments first.
Before leaving, he came to Captain Wang out of courtesy and greeted him, "Captain Wang, thank you for your support for our recruitment work. I am leaving for the war zone now. We will come back in two days for the follow-up handover."
"Oh, wait."
Captain Wang waved his hand expressionlessly, and said to Yuan Lang in confusion: "I have a suggestion. You don't have to make it so complicated. Just tie up all these soldiers and stand them in a row.
Then we can use machine guns to shoot at them, and take away the remaining ones, what do you think?"
"what do you mean……"
Yuan Lang smiled and countered: "Did I overestimate the capabilities of your soldiers?"
"That's definitely not the case." Captain Wang replied.
"Then why do you underestimate your soldiers?"
Yuan Lang's casual words struck Captain Wang hard.
To oppose is to admit that one's own soldiers are very bad, which definitely means that Yuan Lang's assessment method is correct, and one will suffer a loss no matter how you look at it.
Captain Wang said that he couldn't beat Yuan Lang, so he could only turn around and leave without saying a word.
Yuan Lang easily dealt with Captain Wang who was looking for trouble, and the corners of his mouth turned up. Seeing Chen Jun following behind him, he said with interest: "Deputy Captain Chen, are you interested in playing catch-the-mole together?"
"Okay, you don't mind bringing another one."
Chen Jun just wanted to see a chemical reaction, so he simply agreed and also made a request.
"Okay."
Yuan Lang imitated Chen Jun's tone, almost like a parrot.
"Lao Gao, there's nothing to do in the company today anyway, why don't we go and have some fun together?" Chen Jun turned around and invited Gao Cheng to join him.
"Come on, get in my car."
Gao Cheng didn't like Yuan Lang and was too lazy to talk to him, so he turned around and walked straight to his car.
But the statement is already very clear.
Yuan Lang looked at Gao Cheng, who was throwing a tantrum like a child and walking away with his neck held high, and grinned, revealing his signature fake smile.
"Commander, let's meet up in the battle zone."
Chen Jun greeted Yuan Lang, ran back and got into the car.
He sat in the driving seat skillfully. The space in the 212 convertible military jeep was quite large, and Chen Jun, who was over meters tall, did not feel cramped sitting inside.
"Quite arrogant, hehe."
Yuan Lang smiled strangely, then strode towards his car.
The contestants were brought to the preparation point and, under the guidance of the soldiers from the division's reconnaissance company, received the weapons and equipment they wanted.
Wu Liuyi is still on Flight 81, Chengcai still uses his favorite 85 sniper rifle, and Xu Sanduo and others are all using rifles.
Only Battelle's equipment was special. He not only received a Type 81 rifle, but also a rocket launcher, which he carried on his backpack with a carrying gear.
For most people, carrying nearly ten kilograms of extra weight is a huge burden on the body.
But for Bater, a muscular man with a height of 1.86 meters and a weight of 192 kilograms, this weight is just a drop in the bucket.
Yuan Lang just mentioned the suggestion of forming a team, and Wu Liuyi thought it made sense.
As the squad leader of the Sharp Knife Squad and the soldier with the strongest overall strength in the Steel Seventh Company, Wu Liuyi naturally became the leader of the Steel Seventh Company's players.
In order to ensure the maximum success rate and avoid being too embarrassed during the exercise.
Even though Team A only recruits three people this time and most of the remaining people are destined to be eliminated, Wu Liuyi also decides to make serious deployment.
There will be a reinforced company pursuing us on the way, and a team of twelve people is too large and too obvious.
So after some consideration, Wu Liuyi equally distributed the twelve players of the Seventh Steel Company into two groups of six.
He was in a group with Xu Sanduo, Bai Tiejun and others, and Chengcai was in a group with Gan Xiaoning, Bater and other six people.
The squad leader and the deputy squad leader each lead a group, and each group has outstanding soldiers with outstanding abilities. In terms of overall strength, the two groups are similar.
pity.
Wu Liuyi’s grouping strategy is very good and is very detailed and well thought out.
However, no matter how good the plan is, it cannot keep up with the changes.
What's more, you will be targeted.
……
ten minutes later.
All contestants who received their supplies were taken to four tarpaulin trucks and transported to the starting point of the war zone for assessment.
The contestants were all quite nervous on the road, and a few of them were quite different.
Gan Xiaoning came here just to have fun, and didn't care about the assessment rules at all. He didn't have too many concerns and just did whatever he wanted.
Because I didn’t have a full breakfast in the morning, I just opened the dry food and started eating when I was hungry.
I don't care about the spare dry food. I only eat it in emergencies.
Fortunately, the field rations of Battalion A were of high quality. They were not the dry compressed biscuits of the grassroots troops. A large bag contained various small packages, and each small package contained different food.
Small chocolates, beef jerky, high-calorie candies...
They are all delicious and I can’t finish them all at once.
Wu Liuyi saw Gan Xiaoning eating secretly, but instead of scolding him like in the original plot, he pretended he didn't see anything and let Gan Xiaoning eat as much as he wanted.
He has deeply understood what Chen Jun meant.
This time we are going to Brigade A specifically to recruit people. It would be better if the soldiers from the Seventh Company are not selected.
As long as the contestants from the 7th Steel Company don't perform too badly in this exercise and can survive the day, it will be enough for him.
Gan Xiaoning ate all the field rations, and when he couldn't hold on any longer, he would just leave.
The goal is very clear and the ideas are very clear.
The mentality is naturally different!
Xu Sanduo was the only one who was smiling. To him, it was just like he was going to play games. He happily chatted with everyone along the way.
But everyone was too nervous and had no interest at all.
In this intermittent chat atmosphere, the wobbly tarpaulin truck finally arrived at the designated battle zone for the assessment.
The commander sitting in the lead car picked up the loudspeaker and shouted loudly.
"You are about to enter the battle zone. Be prepared for battle. Anyone hit by the laser beacon will be killed. You are not allowed to make any further moves. Stay where you are and wait to exit the game."
"We are about to enter the war zone..."
The commander shouted three times in a row, and when he shouted the third time, the car had already entered the war zone.
A group of people had gathered in the open space on the mountainside far away on both sides of the road. Chen Jun, Gao Cheng, Yuan Lang, Qi Huan and others were already in place.
Watching the convoy slowly driving along the road, Chen Jun recalled the scene he had seen before.
Curiously, I asked Gao Cheng, "Lao Gao, I saw you and Deputy Battalion Commander Wei talking about something before, and your smile didn't look right."
Chen Jun and Gao Cheng have a brotherly relationship, so they speak more casually.
In the past, he was not comfortable asking about such things.
"Old Chen, you have a very sharp eye. Nothing can be hidden from you."
Gao Cheng teased for a few times, then laughed and said, "I specifically asked Lao Wei for a favor, asking him to take better care of them and give priority to arresting the people from our 7th Steel Company, haha."
Gao Cheng laughed as soon as he finished speaking, and looked smugly at Yuan Lang who was not far away.
It seemed like he could play a trick on Yuan Lang, which made him feel very happy.
"It has to be you, Lao Gao. With an insider, things can be done well. Haha." Chen Jun gave a thumbs up to Gao Cheng.
Although Chen Jun personally thinks that doing so is a bit unnecessary, in the end only three people will be selected and most of them will be eliminated.
The three people who are strong enough to make it to the end are not afraid of this specific targeting in the early stages.
But as a person with emotional intelligence, Gao Cheng is such a straight man, it is rare for him to be so cunning, so Chen Jun cannot spoil Gao Cheng's fun at this time.
The emotional value must be maximized.
Gao Cheng received high praise from Chen Jun, and the smile on his face became even more intense.
That's when.
Several tarpaulin trucks on the road a hundred meters away stopped collectively, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance company commanded by Wei Tianlei began to load the trucks.
The crackling sound of gunfire was as dense as the lively New Year celebrations.
If this was a real ambush, and the bullets fired were real bullets instead of laser beams, I'm afraid the contestants would have suffered heavy casualties in this wave.
Despite the intensive gunfire outside, the contestants in the car had obviously received the order.
Soon the contestants were seen lining up, lifting the canvas curtain at the back of the truck, jumping out of the vehicle, and immediately looking for cover nearby.
We didn't know which direction the enemy was heading, so it was obviously unwise to get out of the car and run around.
The correct thing to do is to find cover first.
The players who got off the car were so united, which showed that they were all well-trained and excellent fighters with a very mature mentality.
Gao Cheng's attention was focused on vehicle number three, as all the players from Steel Company Seven were on that truck.
Wei Tianlei is indeed very nice.
There were more than a hundred soldiers in the reconnaissance company, and he arranged an entire platoon for this vehicle alone, obviously showing that he was giving it special treatment.
Yuan Lang's eyes were so sharp that he could tell something was wrong at a glance.
He turned his head and glanced at Gao Cheng and Chen Jun.
He smiled.
Yuan Lang knew that Gao Cheng was definitely playing tricks, but he had no intention of exposing or stopping him. There was even a hint of interest in his eyes.
Only extreme exploitation can unleash potential, and only a steel furnace can produce elite soldiers.
Those who engage in special operations agree with this point even more.
Because every time a qualified special forces soldier is trained, he has to be selected from hundreds or thousands of people, and all of them have gone through hellish hardships.
How can you complete a hell-level task without walking out of hell alive and arming every hair on your body to the extreme?
The reconnaissance battalion specifically targets the soldiers of the 7th Steel Company, which naturally makes Yuan Lang more interested.
The few people that Yuan Lang originally wanted the most were all in the 7th Steel Company. Putting more pressure on the 7th Steel Company would allow the players to unleash more potential.
Then Yuan Lang would be able to feel it more intuitively.
The players he wants are just for show or do they really have the real ability?
However, the contestants from the 7th Steel Company had no idea that the reconnaissance company would specifically target the vehicle they were riding in, so they were confused as soon as they entered the venue.
For the other players who got off the cars, the probability of being killed as soon as they landed was less than 10%.
However, the players who jumped off car No. 3 suffered more attacks, and the probability of being killed on the ground was as high as 30%.
More than 20 people got off a car, and seven of them were killed on the ground.
Among the players who were eliminated with smoke coming out of their mouths, four were from the 7th Steel Company. One third of the twelve people were gone as soon as they landed.
If this happened in an assault, it would definitely be considered tragic.
"Bunker, find bunker, quick."
"Chengcai, find out the enemy's location."
Wu Liuyiben still wanted to lead the people of the Seventh Company to hold out for at least a day before people started to be eliminated. However, so many of them were killed as soon as they landed, which made him feel extremely bad and he had to start emergency command.
Under Wu Liuyi's timely command, the thick smoke from the seven eliminated contestants also served as an invisible cover.
Car No. 3, which suffered a wave of elimination, finally managed to stabilize the chaotic situation.
Chengcai also demonstrated his ability as a sniper to quickly search for the enemy based on the sound of gunfire, which played a big role at this critical moment.
"There are enemies at nine o'clock, six o'clock, and twelve o'clock. They all have machine guns. The firepower is too strong. It is impossible to launch an effective counterattack."
Chengcai shouted to Wu Liuyi the information he had collected.
"Boom, bang, bang..."
At this time, the bombs buried on both sides of the road were also detonated, creating clouds of dust.
"Retreat, retreat quickly, go to the nine o'clock direction."
Wu Liuyi saw that the situation was so critical that he knew he would die if he continued to stay here, so he decisively gave orders and led the team to evacuate towards the nine o'clock direction.
The remaining players of the 7th Steel Company, as well as other players in the same car, followed Wu Liuyi to retreat.
This move.
It inspired the whole audience.
The contestants who got off other vehicles followed the 7th Steel Company and evacuated towards the 9 o'clock direction.
With the cover of the smoke bombs thrown by the dead players, escaping from the highway was relatively easy and the group quickly left the dangerous highway.
You can leave the road and go to the right, which is more than a hundred meters away from the nearest woods.
Without the cover of the smoke from the eliminated contestants, a large group of people ran on a flat area with little grass, and each of them became a bright target.
There were always contestants whose beacons were hit and smoke bombs were triggered during their running, and they were eliminated while emerging from the smoke.
Xu Sanduo was addicted to acting. When he saw an eliminated contestant lying on the ground and refusing to move, the kind-hearted Xu Sanduo couldn't bear it and actually ran over to help.
It seemed as if as long as he could lend a helping hand, the smoking contestant could be resurrected.
"Why are you crazy? Go away, go away~~"
Wu Liuyi ran over and slapped Xu Sanduo hard on the helmet.
This seemed to wake Xu Sanduo up. He immediately gave up the rescue attempt and focused on escaping, running forward as fast as he could.
Dozens of people fled in panic and were constantly eliminated.
By the time the surviving contestants entered the woods, nearly half of the nearly 100 contestants who had originally set out had been reduced to only about fifty.
The 7th Steel Company, which was specially targeted, now has only seven people left.
After entering the woods and using trees as cover, the contestants finally had some space to breathe, but none of them dared to stop because greater danger was still to come.
"The cat and mouse game has begun. Let me see the strength of your reconnaissance battalion. Don't tell me that you can't even catch these few little mice."
Yuan Lang's weird and deliberate provocation made Wei Tianlei feel very uncomfortable.
In order not to be looked down upon by Yuan Lang, he personally got on a car and ordered: "All members of the reconnaissance company get on the cars, the third platoon goes to the front to set up checkpoints, and the first and second platoons all go up and bring all the people back to me."
Following Wei Tianlei's order, more than a hundred people in the reconnaissance company were dispatched.
They got in dozens of cars and rushed towards the contestants.
Only the road not far away was filled with eliminated contestants, sitting on the ground dejectedly, with equipment and helmets thrown everywhere, making it look a mess.
Only Gao Cheng was smiling happily!
