Half a day passed, and at 4 PM, Xu Cheng and the other 15 veterans got off the truck and started to enter the jungle.
Wei Yuan wiped the mud off his face when he passed by a patch, and the other veterans used tree leaves as cover for the night battle. The others tore off some compressed biscuits and took a bite, and then asked Xu Cheng if he wanted any.
Xu Cheng shook his head.
Wei Yuan looked at him and said, "Xu Cheng, now that you are the captain, how do you think we should attack?"
Xu Cheng leaned against a tree, and he didn't reject his role as the captain. He said, "Haste makes waste. With Hu Bing's personality, I'm afraid this time, in order to give me a taste of his strength, he will go against us one-sidedly. So, even if the others team up, there's nothing to be afraid of. This will also give us a chance."
Wei Yuan: "Xu Cheng, you are still so experienced in judging people. This brat really likes to advance recklessly, and he likes to prove his strength in one-on-one battles."
Xu Cheng: "That's not wrong. A single soldier needs to show his worth in one-on-one battles. Being able to fight one against ten will give you a huge advantage on the battlefield."
Liao Shuhang: "Say, Old Xu, you won't really lose your strength after getting injured, right?"
Xu Cheng faintly smiled. "Why do you think so?"
Liao Shuhang: "You used to be even more arrogant than Hu Bing, and now you're letting others boost your morale? This doesn't seem like your style. Is it because your strength is falling behind and you're scared? "
Xu Cheng grinned. "That kind of behavior in the past would only sell out your teammates for your own glory, and that's a sign of immaturity. Since we are a team, we should act like a team. Even if I'm a single soldier, I can only solve unexpected situations when it's necessary. But for the big picture, we still need to be united. I finally know why the three of us couldn't get any good results in the past. I think we don't trust each other enough. If we all trust our comrades, maybe we can fight for a higher position."
Wei Yuan smacked his lips and said, "I'm not used to you being so humble all of a sudden. I still like when you're arrogant. If you're not arrogant, the other military regions will think we're all sick cats."
Xu Cheng didn't mind it and laughed. "Okay, hurry up and replenish your hunger. After eating, we will go deeper into the jungle."
Headquarters, Monitoring Center.
The head instructor and the tactical analysts were all here. There was a table that simulated the terrain, and all the artificial wilderness videos were installed on the treetops or on the ground. These people were responsible for monitoring the battle and analyzing who had the strongest mental fortitude and ability to deal with danger. The other group of analysts were responsible for recording the mistakes of these people for the participants to pay attention to.
"Instructor, which side are you looking at?"
The head instructor rubbed his chin and said after some thought, "Turn on the screen of the defense team. This time, you don't need to look at the attacking team, just focus on the defending team."
The technician nodded and then turned on the live feed of the defense team.
In the feed, in just half a day, the defending team made a lot of traps. The attacking team hadn't arrived yet, but they already had the members set up the ambush positions. The person in charge of vision at the highest point, the snipers, the camouflaged people in the forest, and the routes to retreat after being discovered were all planned out.
The head instructor looked at the defending team members hiding in different positions and immediately laughed. "This is a bit different from the veterans. If you don't believe me, you can look at Xu Cheng's team. They are definitely eating and drinking first. On the other hand, the rookies on the defense team haven't relaxed at all. This won't do. If Xu Cheng and the others choose to wear it out, then these guys who have been keeping their minds on high alert for 24 hours will collapse sooner or later."
Sure enough, when the technician turned on the feed of Xu Cheng's team, it was just like what the head instructor said. These guys weren't in a rush to attack at all, and they were all squatting down and eating to replenish their energy.
The head instructor connected a microphone to the loudspeaker on Xu Cheng's side and said, "You old foxes, be serious."
Xu Cheng faintly smiled, stood up, and waved his hand. "Move out!"
The 14 veterans immediately changed their relaxed expressions and began to explore the deeper parts of the forest with solemn expressions.
"Snipers, cover us from behind." Xu Cheng signaled to the three snipers, and they nodded. Then, they slowed down their pace and walked behind the team.
"Wei Yuan, climb up the tree and check," Xu Cheng said to Old Wei.
Wei Yuan nodded and nimbly climbed up a thick tree like a monkey. He only picked trees with dense branches so that he wouldn't be discovered and shot down. After he climbed to the highest point, he peeled off the leaves and carefully scanned the area not far away with his binoculars.
"50 meters ahead, everything is normal," Wei Yuan said into the microphone.
Xu Cheng waved his hand and continued moving forward. In fact, he didn't even need Wei Yuan's binoculars. Xu Cheng's eyes were like a surveillance device! Any ambush in front of him would be exposed.
For example, when they were about 100 meters deep into the forest, Liao Shuhang was too focused on the camouflage of the leaves in front of him and didn't pay attention to his feet. But then, Xu Cheng suddenly shouted at him, "Shuhang, stop!"
Liao Shuhang paused for a second and immediately looked at Xu Cheng, not knowing what order he had.
Xu Cheng, however, said, "Look at the leaves under your feet, there are signs of it being refurbished."
Only then did Liao Shuhang lower his head to take a look. Usually, when no one came to this area, the leaves on the trees would wither. However, it just so happened that although the leaves on the trees in front of him were all yellowed, if he looked carefully, the traces of the leaves being refurbished were still a little obvious. He swallowed his saliva. Damn, I almost became the first person to be eliminated. There was definitely a landmine down there.
He gave Xu Cheng a thumbs up, indicating that he got the hint.
"Xu Cheng's observation skills are quite good." Looking at the surveillance footage, the head instructor smiled in relief.
"But Head Instructor, you have to know that basically every member of the 36 Army Tournament doesn't lack actual combat experience. But right now, what they lack the most is individual strength. Because once the camouflage and ambush are all exposed, an excellent individual soldier can even destroy an entire team. Every year, the tournament is a battle royale. Within a week, 36 teams will enter the forest, and in the end, we will see which team's members can stay in the forest and fight. At this time, the most reliable person is still an individual soldier!"
After participating in so many tournaments, how could the head instructor not be clear about this?
Every year, only the Three Swordsmen would survive, but the other military regions would have more than a dozen people. As long as one was smart, they would choose to eliminate the teams with fewer people first to pull up points, and there would also be some private friendships between military regions. For example, every year, the top few teams wouldn't fight with the weaker teams first, and instead, they would team up or go find the weaker teams to farm points. Under this kind of tacit understanding, it would be a bit difficult for the Three Swordsmen to break through. Every year, they wouldn't last more than two days before being eliminated. From this, it could be seen how much of an advantage a team had in terms of the number of elite soldiers. Having one more expert was a guarantee for the team's survival and deterrence. If you were a soft persimmon, you would usually be ambushed and eliminated at the first moment.
