Chapter Seventy-Eight: Children who cheat are all miserable
In fact, camouflage uniforms have not yet been officially popularized, and the vast majority of American soldiers are still mainly wearing light green military uniforms, but the base where Zhang Yang is located is a bit special in itself, but Phillips has applied for camouflage uniforms for everyone in the unit. Obviously, this four-colored camouflage made it easier for people to hide and ambush, and it was welcomed by the soldiers.
Even aside from the practical aspect, a four-color camouflage is definitely more pleasing to the eye than a monotonous pale green outfit. This also leads to the fact that camouflage uniforms are still worth collecting in the eyes of everyone, but no one thought that there would be people who would be willing to cut camouflage uniforms into pieces.
Max's vision was not bad, and according to the number of strips of cloth on the two camouflage soldiers just now, one person was about the number of strips of cloth on two camouflage uniforms, which surprised him a little.
Although the camouflage uniform is not a valuable thing, it is also equipped after Phillips reported to the upper echelons of the army for approval, which is one of the standard equipment.
"But this method can indeed add a lot of concealment."
Max looked at the departing figures of the camouflage soldiers with some envy, and cut the whole garment into strips, although luxurious, but in terms of concealment, it was indeed superior. The two of them just now carried a large haystack on their backs, which actually mixed leaves and grass clippings into the cloth, as well as the colorful things that the other party wiped on their faces, which could integrate the human body and the surrounding scenery together as much as possible, so that the chance of being found was minimized.
Such a set of equipment. For Max, who is a sniper, he is naturally very envious, and if he is given the same equipment, the result just now may be uncertain. Even after returning home, Max quietly made a similar outfit. As a result, the instructors who were sampled went out directly with their ears and criticized them, and they were given a lecture in vain, and the "equipment" for making zuò was also confiscated.
"Why can a Nightkin do that, and we can't?"
Max was very upset, very upset, and sent a report letter to Major Campbell in a menacing manner.
"Why? It depends on the strength of others! ”
Major Campbell, who was brutally disgraced by Max's team, had a black face and said angrily: "The formation of the Nightkin is different from ours. It was directly under the command of Colonel Phillips, equipment, weapons. The training methods are all different and confidential. They could do so because Colonel Phillips gave special approval. ”
Campbell's face stinks and smells: "And people find the torn camouflage uniform that Phillips wants, which is equivalent to waste recycling, not that you cut it out of new clothes like this." You idiot! ”
Max: "......"
Max, who touched a gray nose, had no choice but to accept his fate. The same thing is completely two treatments, and I can only complain that I was born at the wrong time, oh no, I didn't get into that mysterious nightkin brigade. And there are not a few people who share the same idea as him, and after this exercise, the newly formed Nightkin Brigade has become mysterious in the eyes of everyone.
Quite a few people tried to get news of the Nightkin but all of them were struck shortly after the exercise ended. Everyone was stunned to find that there were no more members of the Nightkin team on the training ground, and then they learned with some jealousy. Phillips gave one of the base's newly opened training grounds to the Nightkin for his own use. The already mysterious Nightkin became even more confusing, making everyone's hearts feel as uncomfortable as being scratched by a cat's claw, and it was difficult to sleep and eat.
The people who participated in the selection before have a trace of remorse in their hearts at this moment, and everyone can see that this team is completely built according to elite standards, and they must be the best people who can enter it. It's just that it's useless to regret it at the moment, because Phillips only gave Zhang Yang a certain amount of resources, and it is not appropriate to have more people, so there are no plans for a second expansion at the moment.
In this way, the Max team left the battlefield in reluctance and helplessness, and withdrew from the exercise as the first team to be eliminated, and it was not only the people in the command headquarters who were disturbed by the signal flares they fired, but also the faces of several other teams in the exercise area changed.
Second Lieutenant Sid withdrew his gaze and left behind him the 12 flares fired in a row, but his heart was beating a drum.
He was the leader of this team, and he originally waited for the 12-person meeting to make peace, and he also advanced according to the reorganized team, because they were the first team to enter the battlefield, so they were lucky to grab a piece of high ground, and took the opportunity to determine the route and direction of the advance against the map.
The advantages and disadvantages of being together with 12 people are equally obvious, as the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. Obviously, the attack strength of 12 people together is very powerful, and it is convenient to cover each other, but the disadvantage is that the line is too long, it is easy to expose the target, and it is easy to be killed. The 12 signal flares that took off in the air just now made everyone look at each other, which was obviously a typical example of a formation advancing to death.
"In groups of four, in teams of three; Bill, Sam, you two each take a team, and we'll go our separate ways. If you move forward in this way, it is easy to be eaten by people in one bite! ”
"Understood!"
Bill and Sam, who were called by name, nodded, stood up and led the three members of the team to leave from the left and right flanks, while Ensign Sid continued to follow the same route.
After being divided into three squads, the probability of being spotted is significantly reduced, and at least if one team is caught, the other two squads may still reach the end. After all, the rules of the exercise mentioned that the largest number of teams that reach the finish line wins, and it is obvious that everyone is better to be separated as much as possible.
It's just that Second Lieutenant Sid was a little unlucky, and after half an hour of advance, he and his team were trying to cross a small stream with some width, when he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and there was an extra white spot on the simple bulletproof suit with cushioning material inside.
"Oh no, God, that's not true."
Sid looked at the white dot on his chest blankly, and recognized that it was a special bullet used in the exercise, and the empty cartridge was filled with a white powdery object, which did not look like flour, and once it hit the target, it would explode, leaving white marks, and the person who was hit was determined to be dead or injured according to the location of the bullet, and decided whether to continue to participate in the exercise.
"Enemy attack!"
Seeing that Lieutenant Sid was shot, the remaining three soldiers were immediately alerted and quickly retreated into the woods just now, leaving Sid still standing in the same place, unfortunately, the position of the white bullet point was in Sid's left chest, only a few centimeters away from the heart, according to the rules of the exercise, it could be directly pronounced dead.
After discovering that he had "sacrificed", Sid was a little annoyed, but he had no intention of repaying the debt, so he immediately glanced around, trying to find out the initiator of "killing" him, but unfortunately, he tried in vain. And in this short period of time, there were several muffled noises in the woods, and then the three soldiers who had hid in the woods came out one by one with a dejected face, each with an extra white bullet point on his chest, and an unlucky guy with an extra one on his back.
"I think we've sacrificed."
The four of them looked at each other, and in the end it was Ensign Sid who took the initiative to speak, and the shooter who made them itch at all did not show up from beginning to end.
"Sir, maybe they're gone, it's better for us to ......"
One soldier waited for a moment, realizing that he didn't recognize the back view, crouched down and washed the white spots off his chest with stream water, apparently intending to cheat.
"Hobie, you're violating the rules of the exercise, and we can't participate in the next exercises."
Second Lieutenant Sid frowned, obviously a little dissatisfied with the soldier's actions, but he was also a soldier, since he was dead, he should quit according to the rules of the exercise, and he would be sorry for his conscience if he continued to stay by cheating means.
However, Hobie was obviously not giving up, and defended: "But sir, can you swallow this breath?" We were killed with a single shot without even seeing the shadow of the enemy, and it was a shame to say it. Anyway, it's just us, as long as we don't say it, then we don't know it......"
"But." Ensign Sid wanted to say something, but Hobby had already squatted down, picked up a handful of stream water and was about to wipe the white spots on his chest, but to everyone's surprise, those white odorless powders that seemed to be similar to flour suddenly had an unknown chemical reaction after encountering the stream, and a puff of white smoke sneered, and then Hobby was dumbfounded.
It turns out that those white powders are a special chemical newly created in the laboratory, which will produce a chemical reaction when exposed to water, and then become as viscous as glue. And this white powder was used by Phillips in this exercise.
Obviously, Phillips had long expected that there would be people who would be unwilling to quit and would cheat halfway, and the first reaction of most people to this kind of thing that seems to be flour is that it can be washed off with a liquid such as water, and if someone really does this, it can only be self-defeating, just like Hobie at this moment, the white spot that was originally less than the size of an egg suddenly spread out when it encountered water, and the whole chest was made white, and anyone could see that this Nima was shot.
"How many shots do you have to get to get to this?"
Hobby cried and looked dumbfounded when he saw the mess on his body, while Ensign Sid next to him swallowed his saliva, secretly glad that he didn't do it, otherwise he would have the same fate as Hobby at this moment. Obviously, the rules of this exercise were very strict, and Major Sid couldn't help but be a little afraid, thinking that if he left the field with this white thing, everyone could see that he was self-defeating, and losing talent was the most unbearable for Sid.
"Ahem." Second Lieutenant Sid coughed twice and patted Hobie on the shoulder: "Hobie, it is our duty as soldiers to abide by the rules of the exercise, don't worry, we will explain it to you when we get out, just say that you fell into the stream." ”
"Thank you, sir."
At this moment, Hobie doesn't talk about cheating, he even has the heart to die.
