During the day, I avoided the encirclement of infantry and had no time to collect fresh water.

Not to mention that the only water source is polluted by poisoning, even if there is no pollution, the 1st Battalion Commander Zheng Shengli will definitely send people to guard there, waiting for people to take the bait, just like lions and crocodiles on the African savannah like to look for prey near the water source.

"Team leader, how much water do you have there?"

Niu Shilin looked at Li Hanyu and picked up his kettle.

His lips were also chapped.

Shake it.

He smiled bitterly: "I guess there are only two sips of water..."

Watching everyone take out their kettles one after another and start checking their food.

There is not much water, and the food is not optimistic.

I don’t have time to collect fresh water, nor do I have time to collect food.

Now, everyone has a compressed biscuit at most, and no less.

Tamsui was left after the last collection the night before yesterday. A daytime battle and high physical energy consumption were almost gone.

This training simply forced the 1st Company of Reconnaissance to a desperate situation.

Now everyone understands how ridiculous the previous survival training was.

Without the threat of enemy situation, there is plenty of time, and it only conducts fixed-point reconnaissance on some things that cannot move, and the rest has plenty of time to collect water and food.

Once discovered by the enemy, food and water are simply unsafe.

It is already good to escape from your life, so where can I find water and food?

"It's over..."

Another soldier lamented.

"No water, no food... I'm so fucked! I'm almost out of strength now..."

"The troops and horses are going to move their food and grass first. I know what this means now. Fighting is to fight logistics..."

Some people even began to publicly complain about solemnity.

"The deputy company commander is the same. He didn't say he wanted to fight the 1st battalion before he set off. He got half of the mission on the island, and suddenly he came here to make this move. What should we do? If we had known it, we would have brought some bazooka and the like, at least we could handle their armored vehicles, right?"

"That's right, I didn't do that in training..."

Complaints arose.

Niu Shilin listened silently, without saying a word.

Resentment is true.

The equipment is not good, and the food and water are not available.

The troops reached a desperate situation.

what to do?

Niu Shilin's mind was constantly changing, and countless thoughts and thoughts passed by.

Here, I have the highest military rank and the top squad leader, and I have the responsibility to bring these comrades out of the predicament.

Suddenly, a light of inspiration flashed through my mind.

...

Inside the camp of the Coast Defense Company.

At the gate, dejected scouts walked into the camp.

The special battle camouflage on his body was already very dirty, and everyone's face was painted with camouflage oil paint, and they couldn't see the expression clearly.

However, from the eyes, they were shattered.

The Coastal Defense Company set up a place in a corner of the battalion, which was specially used to set up tents for those scouts who were "shot" to rest.

With the fingers of the island guards watching the fun of the Coast Defense Company, amid the laughter of the soldiers of the battalion headquarters, the scouts who had withdrawn from the confrontation exercises had no choice but to walk into their own territory.

Other scouts who had already come here to report to see their companions and quickly stepped forward to greet them.

"You are here too, fuck! Where are the rest of our class?"

"Hide in the mountains..."

"Huh? Why are our class here?"

"Of course I'm here!"

The person who answered was not angry and felt otherwise.

“…”

Next is silence.

Solemnly walked over, stood in front of these soldiers, and said to them: "Hurry up and put down your things, go and take a shower, and eat quickly. The kitchen team has cooked you food."

In fact, all the scouts who came here were tired and thirsty.

But no one has an appetite.

No one moved his steps.

He stood quietly for a while and said, "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. You should be glad that you lost in the exercise, not on the battlefield, lost in the exercise, and have a chance to turn the tables. You can do it again in the future. If you are on the battlefield, you have sent it to the morgue and wait for it to be sent."

Still no one spoke.

After a while, some people finally couldn't help it.

"Deputy Company Commander, such a confrontation is simply unfair!"

Zhuang Yan nodded slightly: "Yes, it's unfair. The armored brigade has armored vehicles, machine gun companies, large-caliber machine guns, and cannons. And you only have rifles and pistols."

He sighed and said, "You are amphibious scouts, not infantrymen. I have very high requirements for you. They are trained according to the requirements of the special forces. I have said a long time ago, don't think that this special combat camouflage on you looks good and awesome. Usually when you go to other companies, people will look up to you. But you have to be worth it, and you deserve it! I can say that you are not without a chance to win, but you chose the wrong way of playing. If it were me, I dare say we can win."

These words made all the scouts raise their heads.

They looked at their company commander.

Many people feel solemn and bragging again.

But thinking about it, I feel it is credible.

Because all the solemn and bragging has been realized.

Ever without exception.

"Deputy Company Commander, if it were you, how could you win?" someone asked.

"I won't disclose the answer for the time being. This is a closed-book exam. After the exam, I will comment on your performance this time when I go back to the camp. I will admit it. But I don't have any chance to win at all, so I think it's your own problem."

After saying that, he waved his hand: "Go! Take a bath, drink water and eat, don't ruin your body. Want to know how to win? I won't say that some things can be meaningful and gained by experiencing them yourself. Failure is the mother of success. The words of our ancestors are very philosophical. You can learn some lessons and experience from failure. This is the harvest, not me to tell you. Remember, soldiers who rely too much on superiors are not really good soldiers."

Zhuangyan left the camping area and returned to the big tree in front of the barracks.

Zheng Shengli and several battalion chiefs and staff were drinking tea and chatting and laughing there.

Seeing Zhuangyan, Zheng Shengli comforted: "Deputy Company Commander Zhuang, don't blame your soldiers! To be honest, they are already very outstanding. Look, 51 people were killed in battle, and 27 were also trapped in me. I still admire them when there are no heavy weapons and the equipment gap is so large. These soldiers are all good soldiers!"

While saying that, he served tea for Zhuangyan.

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Battleman Zheng, you may have made a mistake. I didn't blame my soldiers. Failure is normal. I also tried the taste of failure when I was in the army."

As he said that, he took the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

Then he raised his eyes and looked at Zheng Shengli.

Zheng Shengli noticed that Zhuang Yan was looking at him, so he asked: "Deputy Company Commander Zhuang, I am not a beautiful girl. You stare at me without blinking. Could it be that I am that beautiful?"

He was in a very good mood and smiled like Maitreya Buddha.

Zhuang Yan suddenly said, "No, I was thinking, you just said that 51 of my people were shot dead, that is, I still have 39 soldiers in the jungle, still jumping around."

At this point, the person suddenly grinned.

"I think...we still have a chance to win."

Zheng Shengli was stunned at first, and then looked around at his deputy and staff.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Almost at the same time, the officers of the 1st Battalion burst into deafening laughter.
