Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 418 Three exercises, three crushing defeats!
Perhaps the defeat was truly too crushing, directly damaging Hao Pingchuan's confidence.

It was so intense that it gave off a sense of despair. Goodness, they just grabbed Lao Luo's hand and started shaking it.

"It's terrible, Lao Luo, we lost so badly! We had absolutely no chance of winning, they were inhumanly strong! We didn't even have time to get into position or figure out what was going on, and all our men were dead!"

The seemingly random sentence completely baffled Bai Ling and the others.

They thought something terrible had happened, even that someone had died.

Pressing Hao Pingchuan's shoulder, Bai Ling began to press him about what had happened and how they had all died.

Through Hao Pingchuan's distraught reply, Bai Ling and the others finally saw the whole picture.

Simply put, it means that after Hao Pingchuan and other veterans of the old Beijing world were incorporated into a battalion, elite security personnel from later generations were also incorporated into the same battalion.

With nothing else to do, they wanted to practice.

Then, they actually set up the arena.

The personnel were divided into two groups according to their respective worlds, and a small-scale live-fire exercise was conducted at the training ground of the guard battalion's base, using exercise equipment brought from the future.

And then.
The warriors of the Nine City World, led by Hao Pingchuan, were so thoroughly humiliated by the later generations that they questioned their very existence.

To put it simply, I was brutally tortured from the afternoon until the evening, and then brutally tortured again from the evening until the early morning.

"We haven't won a single time! Not a single time! I've never lost this badly, not even when fighting the Japanese or the elite troops of the British! The veterans in our unit who fought in the war to establish the nation can easily defeat the Americans! But against them, we see absolutely no hope! We've already lost so badly, we're practically naked!"

After all that effort, this is all it turns out to be.

Bai Ling, who had been worried for so long, really wanted to slap Hao Pingchuan's face until it was swollen, so he wouldn't keep shouting nonsense without being able to speak clearly!

However, after hearing about Hao Pingchuan's incredible achievements...
Bai Ling was no longer calm!

She was not unaware of the gap between the world of Beijing and later generations.

Bai Ling was well aware that Beijing was far behind the rest of the world in terms of both technological level and war concepts.

But she never expected that Beijing would suffer such a crushing defeat!

You should know that all the guards in the battalion were elites that Lao Luo shamelessly selected from various departments!

Each one of them, taken individually, can serve as a benchmark and stand alone!

But what happened? Facing a group of raw recruits from later generations who probably hadn't even seen blood, they actually lost like this!
Bai Ling was truly surprised by this outcome and immediately began to question Hao Pingchuan's command abilities.

"Old Hao, tell me the truth, isn't it your command that's the problem? Otherwise, how could we have lost so miserably?!"

Bai Ling was actually questioning his command abilities!

Just like his tail had been stepped on, Hao Pingchuan immediately jumped up and retaliated.

"Bai Ling, you can call me stupid, call me dumb, say that my intelligence work is terrible, but you absolutely cannot question my command ability!"

"I don't want to question you, but the facts are right here! So many seasoned veterans, under your command, have failed to win a single victory, and have been taught a lesson by a bunch of greenhorns who've never even seen blood! I'd like to believe you, but you have to give me a reason to believe you!" It's clear that Bai Ling really only cares about results!

Although the result was indeed somewhat tragic.
"But you also have to look at the process, and the gap in weaponry between our two sides! Take the first confrontation for example, I was busy deploying combat missions and issuing combat orders. As a result, they turned around and told me that my position was gone!"

"They said that while I was issuing combat orders, they called in the rear and launched a barrage of artillery fire on this side, firing some kind of tactical missile at us. Before I even understood what was happening, we lost!"

"Isn't that too much of a cheat?"

"That's right! That's why I protested to them back then!"

"and then?"

"Then they pulled up the parameters of that tactical missile."

"What happens next?"

"And then what? My position was simply gone!"

"No, I'm asking you, how exactly did they find your precise coordinates?"

"How else could they have known? From the very beginning, they directly cracked our communication channels. All the information on my side was completely transparent to them. Wouldn't we have been wiped out then?"

Bai Ling was speechless as Hao Pingchuan continued.

"In the second exercise, I learned my lesson. Before the battle even began, I dispersed the entire force into small groups and sent them out. By then, it had just gotten dark."

"Night operations? That's one of our strengths!"

"It is indeed our strength, but no matter how strong we are, we can't beat their night vision devices or their infrared detectors! Before I could even launch my attack at the agreed time, their drones and artillery shells were already flying overhead."

"Shells and drones are like they're free! Good heavens, they're everywhere! We were still figuring out how to shoot down those annoying guys when we started smoking."

"White smoke?"

"They say it's a laser simulation system. The weapon is equipped with a laser emitter, and we're equipped with laser receivers. As soon as the laser receiver receives the laser signal emitted by the weapon, white smoke will appear, which means the person is dead."

After two consecutive crushing defeats, even Lao Luo frowned deeply.

He frowned and thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any possibility of winning the battle.

After all, they haven't even met their faces yet, and they've already been killed twice in a row. How can they win like this?

Just as I was pondering this, Hao Pingchuan spoke up again.

"For the third exercise, I've evolved again. Since their night vision goggles and infrared detectors are so powerful, I'll avoid their main force! I'll go straight into the old forest, thinking that I can blend into the environment under the cover of night. Surely you can't do anything to us then?"

"And then, believe it or not, what I did actually worked! Although they still occasionally discover something amiss on our side, and casualties occur frequently, at least we weren't wiped out right away! At least I had a dozen or twenty well-hidden soldiers left, giving me some leverage to fight back!"

"I don't even need to defeat them; I'd be content with just inflicting some casualties. But I never expected that their robot dogs would be deployed so soon, just as I was getting ready to ambush them."
