Chapter Ninety-Three, the Exercise Begins
A new week has started again, and it is finally time for the two Class A showdowns. Early that morning, everyone in Class A gathered on the playground, and Li De also returned to the dormitory where he had been absent for a week last night, much to the relief of Jason Statham and Merlin, who had been looking for him.
Although Li De and Jason are still a little unhappy, his fighting ability and sudden tactical ideas have to make Jason admire. And Merlin also received an order to focus on Li De in this exercise. Although Merlin didn't know why this student received such attention, he knew that there would be a drone to film the whole process of the kid's drill.
Merlin looked at the fifty officer cadets standing neatly in front of him, and did not lecture as usual, but made a gesture, walked in front of himself, and asked Jason Statham to lead the team to the exercise area.
Li De walked through the group feeling a little lucky, but fortunately the combat armor was improved over the weekend, because all the trainees were wearing combat armor. And some are still high-grade armor, and there are some accessories installed. In contrast, although Li De's heavy armor looked very ordinary, it did not lose the face of the Kent family.
Although the Federation's combat armor is expensive, it is still very good for improving combat effectiveness and saving lives. And there are more than 300 different accessories for combat armor. Although Li De also researched, he didn't know how to buy it.
Looking at Jason's armor, Li De is not very clear about the specific model, because this set of armor obviously has traces of modification, and the appearance is larger than Li De's armor. There are also some reinforcements in various parts, including a flight attachment on the back, which allows the whole person to levitate in the sky.
Robben's armor also looks very stylish, especially when he deliberately painted the armor a dazzling royal blue. External reinforced joints can be seen at the joints of the armor, and behind it is a machine gun attachment and several short-range rockets.
"It's all such expensive stuff from TM, they actually use it for exercises." Li De obviously felt unbalanced in his heart.
"Humph! Sooner or later, our equipment will surpass theirs. Eva said in a milky voice, Li De's new task for her was to strengthen her own set of combat armor.
Along the way, the most complained about the students in Class A was Li De, who was absent from the previous week. Although Li De still has the title of sniper team leader, he is hardly familiar with the team members behind him, and those team members are not very familiar with Li De.
"I think it's up to you to command the team this time." Li De patted a student behind him and said. That man was Jason's chosen vice-captain. This deputy captain actually doesn't have any special abilities, but he was the captain of a special forces squad before, and his squad command ability is not bad.
The six members of the sniper squad glanced at Li De together. The student in front of him, who was because of the same bullet hole in the magical ten-shot company in the sniper class, was an irresponsible commander in their eyes at this time.
A group of people came to the largest exercise area of the military academy, which was a mountainous terrain with a radius of 10 kilometers. It is also divided into red and blue teams, and Li De drew the blue team in Class A this year.
When the blue team was drawn, the most proud was undoubtedly Robben. He even boasted to Mary in front of Jason Statham, saying that the BLU team was a perfect match for his blue armor, and that they had won the exercise.
On the field in the center of the exercise area, I looked at the seniors of the previous session. They were also wearing various combat armors, and their momentum was overwhelming, and a few people even showed their lightsabers defiantly.
The squad leaders of both sides chose their respective venues and at the same time took a flag as a sign of victory. As long as the flag of either side is taken, it is considered a loss.
The players on both sides were busy arranging their equipment, painting red or blue paint on the prominent parts of their helmets and armors to indicate the difference. At the same time, the guns were sorted out, because this time all the students were wearing combat armor, and the bullets used were correspondingly more powerful, but they were also using non-lethal stun rounds.
Everyone was ready, and at ten o'clock in the morning, two teams assembled in the center of the exercise area. Merlin gave a short speech to the freshmen, encouraging them to give full play to their previous abilities in the army and do their best to win.
At this time, the instructor of the previous class A came over, but it was a female instructor in her forties. The female instructor's slender figure caused a sigh from Li De and his team.
The female instructor said only two words to the old cadets. The first sentence is: "Do you remember how you were abused last year on this day?" The second sentence is: "Now go and torture them in the same way." ”
Suddenly, there was a loud roar from the old students, and the female instructor brought the feelings of these old students to the climax with just two words.
At 10:30 a.m., a red flare streaked over the exercise ground, signaling the beginning of the exercise.
Suddenly, four or five squads were quickly dispatched from both the red and blue positions to launch a tentative attack near a small high ground in the center of the exercise area.
In the exercise area, each side of the red and blue sides occupies a small hill as a base. The red team is on the east side and the blue team is on the west side. There was no dense forest in the exercise ground, just a few trees to the southwest.
At this time, the sniper team led by Li De was hiding behind these small trees. Quietly waiting for Jason's order.
In a straight line between the two small hills, there is a small plateau, about 20 meters high. Whichever side occupies this high ground can have a good initiative to go.
At the same time, Jason also sent troops on two flanks. Among them, Mary's team is in the north, Robben's team is in the south, and two teams with relatively stronger abilities are testing from both wings at the same time.
Li De quietly entered the monitoring system of the exercise from Eva and peeked at the progress of the entire exercise. Seeing Jason's arrangement, he also kept nodding his head. Jason's command and set-up are steady and aggressive, and he doesn't give his opponent any flaws.
And the senior's side is not simple, in the frontal high ground test, the firefight of several teams did not fall behind. The combat armor made everyone's mobility much stronger, and with some electronic assistance, although there were only a dozen people in the skirmish, it was extremely intense.
Jason watched from the top of the hill, and the drones scattered on all sides kept the enemy's intelligence constantly updated on his in-helmet display. That's when Robben and Mary came with news. They encountered a large number of enemies on both the north and south, and the number of them added up to almost all of them.
It seems that the senior's side is preparing to outflank on both sides, and the high ground in the middle is delaying, so that we can't take care of each other. Jason thought so in his heart, and already had his own countermeasures.
After receiving the report, Jason immediately issued an order for the two teams to return, and at the same time arranged four more squads, 24 people to join the battle in the Central Heights. The combat effectiveness of the central area suddenly became two to one, and the two squads of the red team were quickly suppressed.
Li De saw Jason doing this, and he was also very impressed in his heart. After the middle lane is taken, as long as the two sides are stabilized, a counter-encirclement can be formed against the enemy on both flanks.
The red team doesn't seem to have the idea of sending more combat power to the central region, and is still supported by four squads.
It wasn't long before the three squads of the RED team, outflanked from the north, exchanged fire with the BLU team. In an open field to the north, the BLU team has two squads of 12 people, all hiding in dug foxholes to block the RED team members in the plains.
Eva intruded into the surveillance system in the exercise area through the wireless network, and then transmitted the footage directly to Li De's mind. Seeing the red team in the central region give up the war in the north, he couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart.
"Master, look at this." As Eva spoke, she channeled her soul and directly transmitted an image to Li De's mind.
About five minutes earlier, Robben's team had received Jason's order to detect that the RED team was preparing to attack from both flanks, and quickly retreated. Li De saw that in the process of retreating, one of the team members seemed to unconsciously fire a shot.
There was no sound from this shot, but it fired a strange little black dot that landed in the grove where Li De and the others were hiding.
"Oh no, we've been betrayed." This was the first thought in Li De's heart. Then, he saw that the two flanking squads of the red team had approached them.
Li De was very angry, and the order Jason gave him before was to stand by and stand by. After they have captured the high ground in the middle according to the plan, they will use Li De's sniper team to attack the attacking team on the flank of the red team from the flank, occupy strategic points, and then carry out the next move.
But at this time, from the approach of the enemy, it seems that their seven-man sniper team is about to face the attack of 24 people from the four squads of the red team alone. Li De reluctantly sent a distress signal to Jason. Jason, however, did not respond, choosing to remain silent.
Karin had previously told Li De that this exercise was of great concern to many high-level officials in the military department. After all, there are many outstanding talents of the younger generation of big families in the First Military Academy. And although Robben is the principal's youngest son, he doesn't have the courage to do these small actions in front of the instructors and students of the whole school, so the only reason he did it was Jason's arrangement.
This arrangement undoubtedly made Li De and his pawns sacrificed, and the role was to delay the pace of the red team's attackers to the south and contribute to their occupation of the high ground in the middle. This move can be said to be a huge gain by giving up a small part of the interests, and it is not undesirable in the eyes of the top echelons of the military department.
Time was pressing, and the two dozen or so members of the RED team wearing heavy combat armor were only a few hundred meters away from Li De's sniper team.
