Qu Sen had been lying in the class's hidden trench for an entire day. After dark, he finally had the opportunity to move around when he finally received the mission of getting dinner. Even if he wanted to move around, he had to bend over and quickly move through the trench. He also had to control the empty water bottles in front of his chest so they wouldn't bump into each other.
It couldn't be helped. Although there was no sign of the Blue Team's reconnaissance aircraft in the sky, no one knew if the Blues satellite outside the atmosphere was currently monitoring the battlefield. Therefore, he didn't dare to be careless with his every move.
Dinner was prepared by the cooking squad in the field combat dining car. Each person had two big steamed buns, a portion of cooked vegetables, and a few self-heating cans. After Qu Sen filled the water bottles one by one, the soldiers in the cooking squad also finished preparing their meals.
Qu Sen stretched his arms, picked up the box of food, and began to run back along the path he came from.
Compared to the other soldiers who came to receive their meals, Qu Sen was a little more relaxed. Because Liu Fei's foot injury hadn't recovered, he was left in the regiment to guard the barracks. Therefore, he had one less water bottle hanging around his neck and one less person's dinner in the box.
Thinking of Liu Fei, Qu Sen remembered Liu Fei's pitiful expression when he stood at the entrance of the company and watched everyone depart. A pure straight man could actually vividly act out the deja vu of a "widow". The thick sense of grief that filled his entire body was really intoxicating just thinking about it.
But Liu Fei couldn't be blamed. It was just that a big exercise like "Storm" was too rare an opportunity. Being able to make it but not being able to participate, no one would feel good.
After a while, Qu Sen ran back to his class's hidden trench. Liao Genzhu was inside listening for footsteps. When Qu Sen ran to the entrance of the trench, Liao Genzhu just happened to lift the camouflage curtain. When Qu Sen rushed in with the box of food, Liao Genzhu immediately pulled the camouflage curtain back.
"I'm not going next time. I'm exhausted." Qu Sen threw down the box and sat down in the deepest part of the tunnel, panting heavily as he leaned against the wall of the tunnel.
"Weren't you the one who insisted on going out for some exercise?" Liao Genzhu joked as he began to distribute the dinner to his classmates.
Qu Sen was speechless. He took off the water bottle hanging around his neck and began to play dead. In his imagination, the maneuver must have planes flying around in the sky, war chariots roaring on the ground, and cannons and bullets pouring out as if they were free.
Who would have thought that his regiment would only sit in a truck for a short while at the beginning of the exercise? Then, they would have to rely on their feet to rush over the mountains. He was so tired that he ran to the designated battlefield like a dead dog. He didn't even have time to take a sip of water before he began to construct the field battle and set up the camouflage.
After that … there was no more after that. He spent the whole day in the hidden tunnel, dealing with all kinds of local insects. They only had some field rations for lunch and finished all the water in the water bottle in the afternoon.
That wasn't all. The most depressing thing was going to the toilet. It was okay to pee, but it was a bit tiring to bend over to relieve it. They took a dump in a special tunnel. They dug a hole and buried it when they were done.
Qu Sen was relatively unlucky. He found a random place to dig and hit the jackpot. He didn't know which bastard did it. If you want to bury it, then just bury it. Why did you have to make it so flat and leave a footprint? It must have been intentional.
Qu Sen dug out a piece of meat from the can and stuffed it into his mouth. He took a bite of the steamed bun. He wondered when the Blue Team would launch an attack. It would be best if they were armored. It would definitely be quite satisfying if they could launch a "60 firepower" attack.
The sky gradually darkened. The mosquitoes outside were overwhelming. They crazily drilled in through the gaps in the camouflage net. Several people in the class continuously sprayed mosquito repellent on themselves, but it couldn't stop "their" enthusiasm.
"What the f * ck, this mosquito repellent is fake. Class leader, can we go back and complain about this manufacturer? " Wang Shuai had a physique that attracted mosquitoes. He was really annoyed by the harassment and couldn't help but complain.
"I say, Class Leader Wang, just bear with it. If the mosquitoes bite you, it's one less bite for us. You're a class leader. How can you be afraid of bleeding? "Liu Chuang joked, causing several people in the class to laugh.
"What Class Leader Wang? You can call me Class Leader Shuai or Class Leader Shuai." Wang Shuai laughed and scolded.
"Be quiet. Don't be afraid that the company commander will hear you." Liao Genzhu saw that everyone was laughing a little too loudly and hurriedly warned them.
"Where is Qu Sen?" Liao Genzhu's voice had just fallen when a suppressed voice sounded from outside the tunnel.
"Over here!" Liao Genzhu lifted the camouflage curtain of the cave entrance a crack and stuck his head out to answer.
Soon, the company commander ran in. After finding Qu Sen among the several people, he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and go to the regimental headquarters. The commander is calling for you."
"Ah?" Qu Sen didn't know why the commander was suddenly calling for him.
"Hurry up!" Seeing that Qu Sen was in a daze, Liao Genzhu urged him.
"Yes!" Qu Sen didn't have time to think. He checked his equipment and ran out with the commander.
The commander had to go back to the headquarters to continue waiting for orders. Naturally, he couldn't send Qu Sen there. Therefore, he only pointed in a direction for Qu Sen.
The regimental command post was built on top of a low slope. It was a semi-underground structure. Above it was a camouflage net that followed the slope. The camouflage was very carefully arranged. If one didn't pay attention from afar, they wouldn't be able to see it.
On the way there, Qu Sen had to ask a few more questions before he was able to confirm the location. Then, he ran into the command center in one breath and saluted Liu Yuanchao who was looking at the map. "Reporting to the regiment commander. Private Qu Sen from the 1st Battalion, 2nd Company, 1st Squad, 2nd Company, reporting for duty."
"Call the recon company commander to come here." Liu Yuanchao gave the order to the signaller. Then, he looked at Qu Sen and asked, "Qu Sen, do you know anything about satellite communicators?"
"Ah?" Qu Sen's eyes widened. However, in the next second, he reacted and immediately stood at attention. "Reporting to the regiment commander. I don't know anything. When I was at home, I only knew how to use a large pot lid to receive satellite TV signals."
"That's good. I've seen satellite communicators before. That thing is just a small pot lid and a computer. You can definitely do it." Liu Yuanchao was quite confident in Qu Sen. He continued, "Go with Staff Officer Zhao to the armored regiment and learn how to use it as quickly as possible. Then, come back before 23 o 'clock. If you can't make it back in time or the troops have already moved, go to Area C2 to find the troops."
"Yes!" Qu Sen and Staff Officer Zhao, who had already prepared to leave, immediately left the regimental command post.
Staff Officer Zhao knew where the armored regiment was hidden. He led the way while Qu Sen followed behind him.
"Brother Zhao, I don't know anything about that satellite communicator. I don't know anything about it." Qu Sen said to Staff Officer Zhao as he ran.
"It's about the same as what the regiment commander said. It's just a small pot lid. Connect it to a military laptop and connect it to a headset. It shouldn't be difficult." Staff Officer Zhao replied. However, from his tone, it seemed like he didn't have much confidence in what he said.
"It shouldn't be difficult? Then I'll leave it to you. "Qu Sen had become very familiar with Staff Officer Zhao during this period of time, so he spoke casually.
"Anyway, we're like ducks on a perch right now. It doesn't matter if it's difficult or not. We have to learn it." Staff Officer Zhao said helplessly.
