Chapter 171: The Unpredictable Battle Situation

“Hehe, they’re wearing clothes that are specially designed for exercises. However, this suit is different from the ninth-generation standard combat suit but has the same functions. The only difference is that there’s an additional ion sensor on the chest,” Company Commander Zhang said softly as he stared at the big screen in front of him.

Wu Mo finally understood why he felt that the clothes the soldiers were wearing were so similar to the ones he had seen in the Level B project.

The performance of the ninth-generation standard combat suit was pretty good, but it was difficult to cope with more and more complicated battle situations. It was more than enough for practice, though.

“Company Commander Zhang, what kind of strategy or individual equipment do you think can effectively win the battle in such an actual combat exercise?” Wu Mo immediately asked after a moment’s thought.

Zhang Jianfeng frowned. He was suddenly stumped by Wu Mo’s question.

The exercise area where the two teams of soldiers were located had complex terrains of high mountains, trenches, gra.s.slands, and deserts. The main problems they faced were the lack of information and concealment.

If they could have a battle plan or individual equipment that could solve these two problems at the same time, it would not be difficult to win the battle.

“In my opinion, I think we should develop a positioning telescope that can distinguish itself from infrared rays. It can rely on other technical means to locate the enemy’s position. As long as the enemy’s traces are exposed, the battle will be much easier.”

Wu Mo nodded slightly when he heard Zhang Jianfeng’s opinion.

His idea was indeed a solution, but it was too complicated to put this technology into real life.

Instead, he had a simpler method, which was to use the sonic gun.

It should be more feasible to project the sound waves to the other party’s area and then a.n.a.lyze the other party’s position according to the waveform of the reflection.

However, he did not say this out loud. He just treated it as a random thought.

After all, there was no similarity between fighting against the invading races and fighting in actual combat drills.

A real battlefield required quick means to finish off the enemy.

After all, the Ten Thousand Races that had invaded were only strong and powerful. Most of them had intelligence similar to that of animals, and only a small number of them could reach the level of humans.

Just as the two of them were discussing, a gunshot was heard in the command room.

Everyone immediately looked at the LCD screen and found that the blue team’s sniper had found the position of the other team’s sniper and fired a shot to instantly kill a member of the red team.

Bang!

The sound of the gunshot reverberated through the jungle and the mountains. On the other side of the desert, the ion reactor in the chest of the sniper who was lying down on the reverse slope was instantly activated. A cloud of smoke rose, and the young sniper from the red team looked depressed and guilty for not performing well.

His teammate, who was hiding under a huge rock not far away, immediately gestured to him to leave first.

“I’m sorry, Captain.”

The sniper stood up and apologized in a low voice. Then, he walked out of the zone’s boundary as everyone looked.

The scene was captured by the drone camera in the air and transmitted to the command room in real-time.

Looking at the red team’s sniper leaving the field, everyone could not help but feel sorry for him.

“It’s such a pity that we’ve been controlled by the other party in advance. Now that the red team has one less person, it’ll be even more difficult to win.”

“Battlefields are like this. They change unpredictably, and a small mistake will be magnified infinitely.”

“Looks like the blue team has quite a number of good players. The cannoneer from before was like that. One shot directly disrupted the rhythm of the red team. Now that the sniper has successfully eliminated one person, the blue team has a high chance of winning this round.”

Hearing the discussion from the people behind him, Wu Mo was also worried for Team Red.

If this continued, the red team’s chances of winning would only get lower and lower.

Unless they reconfigured their rhythm soon, it would only be like boiling a frog in warm water, and they would fail sooner or later.

He stared at the surveillance image on the big screen in a daze. He wanted to see how the red team’s team leader would deal with the current situation.

In the exercise area, a temporary command camp was set up between two continuous mountains.

A few soldiers in camouflage were gathered around a map, frowning.

Previously, a sniper in their team had accidentally exposed his position and was eliminated by the opponent with one shot.

Now, the entire team was covered in a layer of haze.

Compared to the blue team in terms of numbers, they were at a disadvantage. Furthermore, the other party was currently searching for their position and could face the baptism of fire at any moment.

On the other side, the team had not made any progress.

After a while, the enemy was likely to bypa.s.s the desert from the side and cause more damage to them. They had to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.

“Captain Shen, our artillery can’t detect the enemy’s position at all. It’s completely useless. What should we do?” aburly young man said with an anxious expression.

The one called Captain Shen was a young man with a crew cut.

The latter had dark skin, a square face, thick black eyebrows, and a pair of eyes that were slightly fierce.

“What’s the hurry? the simulated confrontation is far from over. We’ll only know who wins and who loses when the time comes.”

He was a little annoyed by the urging, so he immediately took off his hat and slammed it on the table. At the same time, he spoke angrily.

“How about this, you stay here and watch over this place. I’ll go and meet up with team one. No matter what, we have to eliminate a few of the blue team’s people!” he said impatiently.

Then, he immediately got up and walked out of the camp.

Everyone was stunned. Captain Shen was the core of the team. If he were to be eliminated on the battlefield, Team Red would be leaderless, and it would collapse immediately.

Unfortunately, Captain Shen had a stubborn temper. Once he made a decision, even three bulls would not be able to pull him back. The few people in the camp who were responsible for contacting the other members could only ask the captain to leave.

Shen Qing took a few pieces of individual equipment from the supplies truck at the side and directly rushed toward the direction of the first team.

Seeing this, everyone in the command room was a little confused.

Shen Qing was the captain of the red team and he should be the one overseeing the camp and giving commands.

But now, Shen Qing who was supposed to command the battlefield actually brought individual equipment and was going to join up with a team to fight. This was simply nonsense in their eyes.

“It seems like the red team’s leader can’t tell what’s going on anymore. Isn’t he afraid that the blue team will bypa.s.s the desert and attack their base if he leaves the camp in such a situation?”

“That’s right. If the communication equipment in the camp and the resources in the vehicles are all s.n.a.t.c.hed away, then the red team will lose without a fight!”

“Although this person looks older, it’s obvious that he can’t take on the heavy responsibility of being the team leader. I think that Team Red is really going to fail this time.”

“Actually, it’s not the soldiers’ fault. They can only blame themselves for having a captain who can’t see the situation clearly.”
