Chapter 215 Assessment in progress!
The shooting test was over, followed by a long-distance run of more than ten kilometers.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened this time, and we just had to reach our destination before noon.
While traveling, they carried out simple map mapping and at the same time collected as much edible animals and plants as possible to satisfy their hunger.
There were no supplies during the entire assessment, and they had to rely on their own abilities to solve the problems of food and fresh water.
This is also part of the assessment content.
Wilderness survival test!
……
After rushing and hurrying, we finally arrived at the destination marked on the map before twelve o'clock.
When Jiang Chen and others arrived, people from other classes had already arrived.
At this time, they were busy collecting food and filtering water in preparation for the subsequent assessment.
Jiang Chen and his team were already very, very good. At least they took time to eat a breakfast of insects and rested for half an hour. Most of the other teams were rushing along the way without stopping. They drank up the water in their kettles and did not even have time to filter the water. They just lay down on the river bank and took a few sips.
As for food, you can eat whatever you come across. If you can't find anything, you will just starve.
Now, the first phase of the assessment is finally over, and they have some time to catch their breath.
If running water is not filtered, it may be okay to drink it once or twice, but drinking too much will still cause problems.
Unless it is mountain spring water.
But how many people can have such good luck?
Now they finally have an hour of rest time. They must fill their stomachs and replenish their energy, and also make some preparations in advance for the afternoon assessment.
Unlike Jiang Chen and the others, they can rest first, and there is still time to deal with these things after they have rested enough.
……
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the break was over, and after receiving a new map and mission, Jiang Chen and his team set out again.
As Battalion Commander Lei Zhenjun said earlier, various enemy situations will arise randomly during the assessment process, and they must remain vigilant at all times to deal with possible situations.
Jiang Chen and his team encountered an unexpected situation less than two kilometers after they set out.
Tang Junjie, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly stopped, made a stop gesture, and reported: "Report, something has been discovered ahead!"
Li Gang didn't need to say much. After experiencing the sudden smoke screen and shooting test, everyone's vigilance had been raised to the highest level.
As soon as Tang Junjie finished speaking, the others had already taken alert actions.
"The ground ahead shows signs of being disturbed, there may be buried mines." Tang Junjie told everyone what he had discovered.
Li Gang took out a telescope and observed for a while. As Tang Junjie said, there were some traces of artificial excavation on the ground about 50 to 60 meters ahead in the woods, and the nearby branches and grass also showed signs of being trampled.
"Old Han, I leave it to you." Li Gang turned his head and looked at Han Li.
Han Li didn't waste any words. After giving a thumbs up, he walked alone towards the area ahead where mines were suspected to be buried.
Five minutes later, Han Li, who had gone to observe the situation, came back.
"It is indeed a minefield, and the density is very high. The probability of passing through it directly is very small. We may have to take a detour." Han Li told everyone what he had discovered.
Li Gang frowned slightly after hearing this.
Detour?
There was only this one road on the map they received, and they could get lost even with a map, let alone without a map.
This kind of situation had happened before. If they hadn't accidentally obtained two maps during the first round of assessment and hadn't come across them by accident, they wouldn't know how long they would have had to wander in the woods.
But if you don't spare the way...
He still had great faith in Han Li's ability. Since the other party said that the probability of passing through directly was very small, then it must be correct.
After weighing the pros and cons, Li Gang finally nodded and agreed with Han Li's opinion.
Taking a detour would at most cost you a little more time and energy, but if you force your way into a minefield, there is a possibility of casualties if one thing is not handled properly.
He is the squad leader and must be responsible for all the soldiers in the squad.
Unless he has no other choice, Li Gang will never choose to stubbornly enter the minefield.
"Old Han, you lead the way, let's go around!" Li Gang said gritting his teeth.
"Yes!" Han Li agreed and took action immediately.
No one else had any objection to this.
Just as Li Gang thought, unless absolutely necessary, no infantryman would think of going into the minefield.
That can't be called a narrow escape from death. If one out of a hundred people can come out alive, it's considered very lucky.
In fact, it was not just them. Other teams that started from the same starting point also encountered similar situations.
The map in my hand lost its function before I even had time to warm it up.
Although the use of this thing is not great, it can at least serve as a reference.
Now, there is no reference.
They can only grope their way forward...
However, the consequence was that a total of six teams, including Class 3 where Jiang Chen was located, all got lost and no one was able to escape.
That would have been fine, but the key point was that they had just taken a few steps when a voice suddenly came from the headset saying that they were encountering electromagnetic interference and all electronic devices on their bodies, including the compass, were prohibited from use.
It’s not that the Chief of Staff is deliberately making things difficult for them.
Electromagnetic interference itself can destroy the accuracy of a compass.
A compass mainly relies on the earth's magnetic field to indicate direction. When there is electromagnetic interference in the outside world, an additional magnetic field will be generated. This magnetic field will superimpose or interact with the earth's magnetic field, which will interfere with the direction of the compass's magnetic needle.
For example, if there are large motor equipment, high-voltage wires and other high-electromagnetic devices around, the accuracy of the compass will be affected.
If it were just that, it would be fine, but the key is that while getting lost, you also have to accept tests that may occur at any time.
Ten minutes ago, Jiang Chen and his group were searching and advancing in the woods while identifying the direction.
Suddenly, the buzzing sound of a helicopter was heard overhead. At first, everyone in Class 3 did not pay much attention to it. During previous assessments, they had encountered helicopters flying overhead many times, and sometimes the helicopters would even hover in the air for a while.
However, this time was different from the past. The movement trajectory of the suddenly appearing helicopter was very targeted, as if it was heading directly towards them.
The sound of the propeller was getting closer and closer. Li Gang was the first to notice something was wrong and immediately ordered to hide.
This is not just a passing by, but an aerial reconnaissance by the enemy!!!
The helicopter circled overhead for more than ten minutes before finally leaving.
The members of Team 3, who were hiding in the bushes wearing camouflage cloth, watched the helicopter leave and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The time was indeed too tight just now, and they were so flustered that they were not sure whether they had made any mistakes.
Don't think that the helicopter just now simply circled overhead a few times, relying on the pilot's eyes to search for the target.
That thing is equipped with an infrared thermal imaging device, and the slightest mistake could lead to the annihilation of the entire army.
Of course, this is an assessment, not a real combat, so the consequences won’t be that serious. However, points will definitely be deducted, and it’s possible that you will be directly declared eliminated if things go wrong.
As for how Jiang Chen and the others avoided the thermal imaging detection.
This is actually very simple. Thermal imaging is not as mysterious as imagined, and there is no need to be covered in mud or soaked in water as shown in movies and TV dramas.
The troops have an equipment called "sky tent", which is a cloth woven with materials such as polyester and nylon.
It is usually used for camping in the wild, setting up temporary tents, etc.
By simply applying a layer of special thermal insulation coating on the back of the skylight, it can be turned into a camouflage cloth that can block most of the heat diffusion.
When encountering thermal imaging detection, you only need to put on this special skylight to greatly reduce the probability of being discovered.
This is much more effective than getting covered in mud and jumping into the water.
I thought this was the end.
As a result, when Jiang Chen and others had just packed up and were ready to move on, the sound of helicopter propellers rang in their ears again.
Moreover, this time the helicopter approached very, very quickly, and it was above everyone's heads almost in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, it is winter now and the thermal insulation effect of the canopy is very good. Li Gang was also thoughtful and did not ask everyone to put their things away.
Hearing the roar of the helicopter, everyone immediately hid under the cover of the sky.
After the helicopter circled overhead for a few more times, the sound gradually faded away.
However, for safety reasons, everyone decided to wait a little longer to prevent the other party from making a surprise attack.
About ten minutes later, after making sure that there was no problem, the group crawled out from under the camouflage cloth.
"Damn it, these bastards from the Army Aviation Team finally left. They almost suffocated me to death!" Tang Junjie cursed in a low voice, and walked at the front of the team wearing camouflage cloth and holding a gun to continue exploring the way.
After running around in the woods for more than three hours, the group finally found the place.
However, to reach their destination, they still need to cross a steep cliff that is more than ten meters high.
Cliff climbing is one of the compulsory subjects for scouts.
Without any nonsense, as the assaulter in the team, Tang Junjie took off the awning he was wearing, removed his weapons and equipment as well as his backpack, wrapped a coil of rope around his body, found the right position, and climbed up the cliff with his bare hands.
During normal training, everyone present had climbed it, but that was under safety measures.
This kind of bare-handed climbing without any protective measures made everyone shudder with fear just by watching it.
Jiang Chen has made use of the convenience of the dream space and has tried many trainings in this area.
He was more aware of the dangers hidden behind this.
When he was training in the dream space, he fell to his death countless times, and it almost left him with a psychological trauma.
But even so, Jiang Chen still wasn't 100% sure of success.
Free climbing is itself a kind of extreme sport.
What are extreme sports?
To put it simply, it is courting death.
There is no such thing as 100% certainty with this stuff.
Every attempt is a life-threatening one, summoning Tainai and jumping back and forth on the King of Hell's Book of Life and Death.
Jiang Chen was really worried about Old Tang. If it was an actual battle, it would be fine. But there was no such thing as a martyr for dying in training. At most, he would be given a pension...
Bah, bah, bah, what are you thinking about? It’s just a test, there will definitely be no problem!
Jiang Chen could only comfort himself in this way.
In fact, he wanted to go up by himself just now, but Tang Junjie thought he was a veteran with more experience as an assaulter, while he was just a rookie...
Jiang Chen couldn't persuade him and had to give up.
Fortunately, the worst situation did not happen and Tang Junjie successfully climbed to the top of the cliff.
A few minutes later, a rope dropped from the top of the cliff.
Jiang Chen didn't hesitate to grab the rope first.
Hu Kai, who was behind him, wanted to say something when he saw this, but was stopped by Li Gang at the side.
"Although he is a private, he is also the deputy squad leader."
Li Gang's tone was firm, and Hu Kai could only nod when he heard it.
Jiang Chen's movements were quick and smooth, and he didn't seem nervous at all because of the lack of safety measures.
It is indeed easier to climb with a rope, but it does not mean there is no danger.
However, this danger is not even a drizzle for Jiang Chen.
He might not be 100% sure about climbing with bare hands, but with the rope, there was still room for improvement.
It would be a waste for him to have 'died' so many times in the dream space.
Jiang Chen climbed to the top of the cliff in no time, took out the rope from his backpack and chose a place to tie it.
With two ropes together, the team climbed much faster.
The backpack and other weights on your body are tied up with another rope and pulled up.
Without the constraints of these things, security and speed are undoubtedly greatly accelerated.
In just over ten minutes, everyone reached the top of the cliff.
After putting the rope back into the backpack, the group set off again.
This time, there was no trouble of getting lost. In just over half an hour, everyone found the destination marked on the map.
After a short rest and replenishing their energy, everyone started the next assessment item.
Battlefield rescue and transfer of the wounded!
There is no need to say much about battlefield rescue. The military's rescue method is different from that of ordinary hospitals. How should I put it? It is simpler and more crude...
For example, arterial bleeding.
The way to stop bleeding during battlefield rescue is to directly pull out the aorta and tie a knot to stop the bleeding...
Another example is cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Although they also learned to press the chest, the real battlefield first aid is to reach into the chest cavity and squeeze the heart directly.
There are also tourniquets commonly used in the army.
Do you really think this thing is so useful?
wrong!
If the tourniquet is applied for too long, it will cause mental necrosis, which means amputation in simpler terms.
Therefore, in general, the tourniquet needs to be loosened every once in a while to allow blood to flow back.
Of course, in an emergency, you can't care so much.
Amputation is better than losing your life.
In a word, no matter whether you are infected or not, or whether you have an amputation or not, the first thing you need to do is to stay alive.
This is the principle of battlefield rescue.
Everything is based on saving lives.
After the battlefield rescue was completed, they still had to carry or carry two people to transport five dummies weighing nearly 200 kilograms to the "field hospital" three kilometers away.
The sooner the better!
These are all wounded soldiers. Every second of delay may result in the loss of their comrades' lives.
When Jiang Chen arrived at the field hospital carrying a dummy weighing nearly 200 kilograms, he collapsed on the ground due to exhaustion even with his physical strength.
Moreover, this was the result of taking turns with Li Gang on the road.
But even so, when he reached the finish line, Jiang Chen collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath...
Except for his first day in the army, he had never felt so tired.
I've really reached my limit and I don't even have the strength to move my fingers.
