Chapter 171: Is the team’s attack really that outrageous?
Chen Mo was not aware of the arrangements regarding academic affairs.
After the group returned to the dormitory from the light weapons shooting range, they immediately unpacked their backpacks and packed up their quilts and bedding.
And tidy up the house at the same time.
One advantage of the academy is that its facilities are much richer than those of grassroots troops.
Especially in the summer, during the mid-year assessment period, the swimming pool of Lu Academy is open all day long. The few of them happened to pass by it when they returned just now.
Chen Mo quickly tidied up his bed, jumped down from the upper bunk, found a new military uniform in the metal cabinet, tucked it under his arm and said, "Brothers, we just passed by the swimming pool and saw a lot of people taking a bath there."
"Who's going?"
In fact, his question was unnecessary.
The assessments for other departments are all arranged at the Lu Academy’s psychological and behavioral training ground, or the high-altitude mountain obstacle course, extreme obstacle training ground, etc.
It's just a routine test, and although the venue is hot, it's still much better than their reconnaissance department wandering around in the mountains all day, right?
They were running and jumping around, covered in dust and dirt, and when they heard the suggestion of taking a bath, they all responded with howls.
Then a group of veterans carrying small yellow basins rushed towards the swimming pool aggressively.
The swimming pool of Luyuan is not far from the cadre dormitory building and is part of the teaching and living area. During dinner time, due to the assessment of the entire school, all cultural classes were cancelled.
In the living area, there are many people coming in and out of the military service center and the outpatient clinic. The swimming pool is built in this place, which means it is not only used for training.
Students and their families can come here on open days to exercise, or just to kill time.
Because no one cares.
Chen Mo carried the basin of water along the road and came to the swimming pool with walls made entirely of red bricks.
This Luyuan is truly worthy of the reputation of "Garden-style Campus" awarded by the General Logistics Department.
The environment outside is shaded by green trees, and walking along the way can dispel most of the fatigue of the whole day.
Lifting the curtain and walking inside, you will see spacious swimming pools of various sizes, with more than a dozen built along the interior.
Walking in from the gate and looking left and right, you can't even see the edges of the two sides of the swimming pool with the naked eye. There are so many people bathing inside, it's quite lively.
Because there are new assessment tasks in the evening.
Chen Mo had no interest in joining the fun in the swimming pool, and he walked straight to the innermost shower area with the basin.
Placing the basin on the ground, Chen Mo rubbed and washed the military uniform he had worn during the day. He looked up at Xie Yong beside him and said, "Captain, do you have any information on what assessment subjects will be arranged tonight?"
"I have an egg."
Xie Yong shook his head. "Who cares what subjects they assign us? We haven't been in the Reconnaissance Department that long, so we don't have much to compare our scores to. Regardless of the subject, we just have to do our best."
"I'm not saying you're a scholar, but why do you think so much every day? Just do what you're told to do, and rest when you're told to."
"The light weapons shooting range is nothing more than shooting and other subjects."
Xie Yong said it very easily. Of course, this guy really didn't seem to be worried about the next test subjects.
Maybe it's a common problem among scouts.
Not only Lao Xie was like this, Wang Bo and Ding Zeliang were all calmer than each other. They all squatted under the shower head, washing clothes while being showered.
We were talking and laughing, there was no tension like that of an approaching exam.
Chen Mo scratched his head. Although he was a little surprised by the content of the assessment arranged by the college this time, he didn't say anything more.
After taking a shower, they hurried to the cafeteria. Overall, Dean Lu's meals were of similar standard to those of the vice-dean.
The most common ones are bean sprouts in vinegar, fried loofah with eggs, etc. Of course, there are also meat dishes, such as stewed chicken nuggets.
Chen Mo doesn't have any requirements for food, as long as he can fill his stomach.
According to the instructions given by Captain Yang before the disbandment, the reconnaissance department would not gather until nine o'clock, so after dinner, Chen Mo and his group had no time to do anything else.
I lay down on the bed as soon as I returned to the dormitory. Since there was still more than an hour before the next test, I took the time to replenish my energy.
Take advantage of the students' break.
Captain Fang Huai is not doing nothing. Although the captains in the academy are not as good as those in the army, whether the performance of the student team they lead is good or bad has little to do with them.
When promoting officers, the academy pays more attention to the students' own performance. The student captain is at most a title, and it is rare for them to be awarded merits or awards for their good performance in leading the team.
The college doesn't really do that.
But no matter what, the second team was able to unite and get first place in the first assessment, so Captain Fang should be proud.
While Chen Mo and the others are resting.
Fang Huai arranged for the coaching team to pick up the guns and ammunition needed for the evening assessment in advance.
Not only lead.
He also arranged for the coaching team to carefully inspect and maintain the guns issued to the student teams one by one.
In many cases, assessments are all about details.
While the students are competing on the field, Captain Fang ensures that all details of the equipment are carefully checked, striving to ensure that nothing goes wrong when they go on stage.
Take charge of logistics work.
Time quickly came to 8:30 pm on the 28th.
In dormitory 402, several mechanical watches made a simultaneous buzzing alarm sound.
No need to wait for anyone to shout deliberately.
Chen Mo was the first to get up from the bed, squatted at the edge of the bed and began to refold the quilt.
"Do we need to pack our backpacks for the evening test?" Wang Bo, who was in the lower bunk, heard the noise and stretched his head to look upwards.
"I haven't heard of it. I always feel that the academy's assessment system is a bit perfunctory. I didn't hear the examiner mention the requirements for gathering when we were dismissed."
Lai Wei sat on the bed and spoke in confusion.
While the few of them were chatting, Chen Mo was busy folding quilts and packing his backpack with his butt sticking out, which made the veterans feel a little insecure.
Ding Zeliang stood up, walked over to Chen Mo, and patted the iron frame: "Xiucai, are you so sure that you still need to carry a backpack for the gathering tonight?"
"I guess so." Chen Mo nodded without thinking: "Our first team, second team, and student squadron are all from the 30th squadron. We have dormitories here to rest."
"The problem is that during the assessment period, other colleges don't have dormitories, so they can only rest outdoors. When we gather together, everyone will be carrying backpacks. We can't just go to the gathering empty-handed without bringing anything, right?"
“Oh my god!!”
After Chen Mo's reminder, the group of veterans who had been calm just now became more efficient than each other.
This is the benefit of reaching a consensus.
While 402 was packing his backpack, the veteran from 401 next door ran over to take a look and then went back to pack his backpack as well.
Although everyone had consumed a lot of physical energy during the day and had been wandering in the mountains for a long time, the soldiers, especially the scouts, to put it bluntly, had endless energy every day.
Without this ability, who would have the nerve to call himself a scout?
After just a short break, everyone packed their backpacks and gathered downstairs.
Their condition has recovered and they are all full of energy, eager to fight, and staring intently at the front.
Chen Mo was standing in the queue. He was watching Fang Huai set up more than a dozen tables downstairs in the No. 3 student building. On the tables were various guns, including Type 81 rifles, Type 85 silent submachine guns, Type 85 sniper rifles, wooden daggers, and Type 64 and Type 54 pistols.
Since I came to the Army Academy, there has indeed been a gun-awarding ceremony, but I have never issued so many guns.
I have never encountered such an outdated standard pistol.
Not to mention other guns, just these two pistols made Chen Mo speechless.
The accuracy of the Type 64 pistol is pretty good. Within a distance of 20 meters, he can hit the target without a single bullet, and every shot hits the ten rings without a fault.
But this pistol is too weak. When shooting at close range, even with an empty magazine, it probably can't even knock over an old ox.
The Type 54 is even more outrageous. It has power, but the problem is its accuracy. Even an expert standing 20 meters away is not sure he can hit the target. Its directivity is too poor and the recoil is too strong.
Chen Mo looked at the rows of guns in the distance, then quietly turned his head and exchanged glances with Xie Yong.
As a tacit understanding among veterans, they all guessed that the next test might not be that simple.
When the firearms cannot be unified during the assessment, it must be the scale of the team operation.
But who can I fight?
Chen Mo looked around but didn't see anyone from the first squad or the squadron. Downstairs of dormitory No. 3, in such a large place, there were only fourteen people from the second squad gathered.
What's even more fucked up is.
Before disbanding, Captain Yang clearly said that they would gather at 9 o'clock sharp, but Chen Mo and the others were already downstairs at 8:35.
As a result, Fang Huai ignored them completely.
The commander continued to clean his gun or check the ammunition, without missing a single thing, but he paid no attention to the troops gathered in front of him.
Time passes by little by little.
At around 8:55, a dozen veterans at the scene were getting a little impatient and someone was about to shout "report".
Fang Huai then raised his hand to check the time on his watch, and then calmly arranged for the coaching team to stop maintaining their guns.
He paced to the front of the queue, put his hands on his hips, stared, and walked back and forth to observe everyone's expressions.
Then he shouted loudly: "Everyone, stand at attention!"
"At ease!"
"Just a quick note. Due to the lack of space at the light weapons shooting range, tonight's reconnaissance department assessment will be adjusted."
They said there was no space, but few people at the scene really believed this excuse.
Lu Academy has been standing in Shimen for so many years, and has held so many mid-year and year-end assessments. The academy will plan and arrange each large-scale assessment in advance.
It's not a last-minute decision, so how could there be no space available?
But this kind of thing is not important. The group of veterans just stared at Fang Huai with expressions on their faces that said "I want to see how you act."
Captain Fang probably felt that he failed to fool these old hands, so he coughed lightly with a slightly awkward look on his face and stopped talking nonsense.
Instead, he pointed to a red flag leaning against the table.
The flag is not big, just like the company flag carried by grassroots companies.
"See this flag?"
"Our second team's mission is to successfully plant the flag on the top of Cuiping Mountain before dawn."
"Anyone who has questions can ask."
After Fang Huai finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and pretended to be mysterious. We don’t know who he was pretending for.
"Report!"
"speak."
"The mission can't be that simple, right? Just plant a flag on the top of a mountain?"
"Of course it won't be that simple." Fang Huai smiled upon hearing this, then pointed to the dark mountain in the distance: "Right now, there are already four teams on the mountain that entered an hour earlier than you."
"But don't worry, their mission is to prevent you from reaching the summit before dawn."
All the people present were veterans. Just hearing what Fang Huai said, the expressions of everyone present, including Chen Mo, turned ugly.
Because they had been looking for maps during the day, all the teams had walked around the mountains several times and were very familiar with the terrain there.
Cuiping Mountain looks relatively large, but it is actually not that big at all.
The enemy who entered the mountain in advance only needed to hold a Type 85 sniper rifle and occupy a few key points. The people at the foot of the mountain would have no chance of going up the mountain without air fire support.
There is almost no solution to climbing mountains.
After all, all the teams are very familiar with Cuiping Mountain, and the road you can find can also be thought of by others.
The range of the Type 85 sniper rifle can reach 800 meters. The people at the foot of the mountain may not know what is going on and may be named one by one by the people on the mountain, with nowhere to hide.
"Report!!"
"speak."
"What are our weapons?"
"Are you blind?" Fang Huai pointed at the distant table in annoyance and said, "I've had people here cleaning their guns for a long time. Do you think I have nothing to do?"
"I've already said what I need to say. We're all veterans, so I don't need to repeat myself, right?"
"I'll give you ten minutes to assign tasks. After ten minutes, I'll arrange a car to take you into the mountains."
"Whoever received a gun, please come and register the model."
"Dismissed!!"
After Fang Huai finished his instructions, he glanced at Chen Mo. In fact, he wanted to remind the scholar not to do anything weird in the next assessment.
Otherwise, if the vice president finds out, I will really be sent to guard the gate.
But Fang Huai thought about it and finally didn't say anything.
Obviously, he did not think that a private soldier could demonstrate much ability in the upcoming assault assessment.
He did not mention that the team including the first squad of students and the team arranged by the squadron also had the mountain climbing mission.
Because many times, the combat conditions are not so perfect. Does that mean the war should not be fought because of incomplete intelligence?
The order to disband was given and there was silence for two seconds.
Xie Yongcai clapped his hands and said, "Alright, the mission is clear. There are four teams on the mountain, but we don't know which four teams they are, nor do we know how many people there are."
"But we scouts are born to fight the most difficult battles. It's no big deal. Lead the gun."
As the captain of the student team, Xie Yong did a good job in encouraging the team's morale.
But war is no joke after all.
What's more, everyone present knew that shooting was not about recklessness. The enemy had already occupied the best shooting point and was waiting for them with open arms.
If I rush forward recklessly, will I be called out one by one?
Of course, everyone knew that this battle would be difficult, and although the mood at the scene was not high, no one backed down.
Some people were checking with 81 rifles, while others were pulling the bolts of silenced submachine guns.
When Chen Mo saw this situation, he frowned.
This time going up the mountain is different from the previous map grabbing. If there is no decent command, and we just rush forward like a guerrilla, I am afraid that after one round of charge, none of the fourteen people will survive.
Scouts are also human beings, and they don’t have any special skills.
But it cannot withstand the machine gun bullets used by the 85 sniper. Even if the test is conducted with blank bullets, the effective range cannot reach 800 meters, even in a high position.
300 meters is enough.
It is enough to weave a firepower network with no blind spots and kill all the teams who want to climb the mountain.
Seeing some veterans holding guns and going to register, Chen Mo stepped forward and said, "Wait a minute."
The sudden words made many people at the scene look at Chen Mo.
"Captain, how about I make the arrangements?" Chen Mo looked at Xie Yong first.
No matter what, Xie Yong is nominally the captain, and the necessary procedures must be followed.
"Okay, just tell me if you have an idea." Xie Yong nodded.
No one present knew whether Chen Mo had the ability to command, but one thing was certain: he was more evil than anyone else.
Time is running out.
Chen Mo didn't hesitate and said directly: "We can't just rush in like this. Who has ever achieved a good result in the military shooting competition? Especially sniper shooting?"
"I!"
As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, Ankang from Dormitory 401 stepped forward. He patted the Type 85 sniper rifle in his hand and said, "I came in second in the regimental shooting competition. I'm good at prone positions one through eight, and my chest ring targets are better than my head targets. When I aim at the baseline, I subconsciously aim at the body's midline."
Ankang's self-recommendation inspired other veterans.
Lai Wei from the 402nd Division immediately spoke up, "I placed fifth in the First Guard Division's sniper competition. My left eye is my primary shooting eye, so I'm at a disadvantage in terms of firing rate, but stability is no problem."
Just by listening to the introduction, you can tell that Ankang is only a sharpshooter in the regiment, not a sniper. Only Lai Wei is a real sniper.
There is only one sniper among fourteen people, which is a bit too few.
Chen Mo raised his hand and scratched his chin. In fact, in terms of shooting ability, these old scouts can all handle the Type 85 sniper rifle.
However, it is difficult to complete the task of capturing targets on the mountain from the foot of the mountain without professional snipers.
There is a huge gap between being able to control and being professional.
When it comes to sniping ability, Chen Mo himself is not very good, but he can barely be considered half good.
Just as the atmosphere at the scene became tense, Ding Zeliang, who had the hottest temper, stepped forward and patted his chest and said, "Scholar, if two snipers are not enough, I can do it too."
"You can ask Old Xie. In the Night Tiger Company, I'm best at small-group coordinated tactical sniping. I have no problem providing long-range fire support."
Hearing this, Chen Mo just turned his head and glanced at Lao Ding, then shook his head: "Squad Leader, you're not good enough. If we really talk about sniping skills, I think your pistol shooting skills are better."
"ah?"
When Chen Mo said this, Ding Zeliang was stunned on the spot.
Not to mention him, even Xie Yong opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time.
Mainly because he was frightened by the scholar's words.
Ding Zeliang's pistol shooting skills are indeed impressive. No one in the Night Tiger Company can match him. Even in the entire 92nd Division, he is firmly ranked in the top two in pistol rapid shooting.
He was promoted because he won a lot of honors for the division with his rapid-fire pistol skills, but the question is, how did the scholar know this?
Although Ding Zeliang is a little arrogant and has a bad temper, he never likes to show off his abilities.
This is really weird. There has never been any pistol shooting organized in the Lu Academy, so no one should know about this.
Lao Ding's shocked and incredible look was seen by many veterans at the scene.
It's not surprising that veterans who are promoted all have one or two unique skills, but how did the scholar see through them?
Why can't they see it?
Ding Zeliang looked Chen Mo up and down as if he was meeting him for the first time. He then nodded and said, "Yes, in terms of sniping skills, my rapid-fire pistol is better."
"The question is how did you know that?"
“It’s very simple.”
Chen Mo stared at Ding Zeliang and said with a smile: "Squad leader, cooperate with me."
"stand at attention!!"
Hear the command.
Ding Zeliang subconsciously straightened his chest and stood at attention, while Chen Mo walked around him and said, "A master of rapid-fire pistols, even when standing in a queue, his muscle posture is different from others."
"You can see that when Squad Leader Ding stood at attention, his right hand was pressed against the seam of his trousers as required by the formation, but his five fingers were instinctively relaxed."
"This feature has been deeply ingrained into muscle memory. Only experts in rapid-fire pistols will perform this subconscious action in order to quickly draw their guns."
"You're good at rapid-fire pistols. We'll need you when we're hiking. Let's not talk about your sniping abilities for now."
As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, several veterans at the scene quietly hid their hands behind their backs.
Everyone had a different expression. Damn, this scholar's eyes were too vicious, right?
Can you see this?
Even Fang Huai, who had been watching the veterans' deployment and testing their command capabilities, couldn't help but raise his hands.
I stared at it several times.
Is this scholar really so outrageous?
As the captain of the cadet team and a major deputy battalion-level officer, his observation skills are actually worse than that of a private?
