From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 211 Exercises and Observations

Preparations for the acceptance of the results of the intelligence suppression unit are being carried out in a busy and steady manner;

In order to better obtain the required information, Nesta specially mobilized a group of witch doctors, more than ten apprentices, and more than a thousand soldiers for this exercise, and opened up an exercise in the forest far away from the headquarters.

base.

This base will be a simulated stronghold including a command center, barracks, peripheral smoke towers and other facilities.

And set the reason for the stronghold's existence in the exercise, and give its internal members the identities in the exercise, thus simulating a person with a spell caster, a purpose of existence, specific tasks that need to be performed, and a defensive force.

, a military base that conducts internal and external patrols.

They will be the targets of the Intelligence Suppression Group during this exercise to test whether the organization is operating as expected.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the final assessment is just around the corner, and the newly formed troops led by Cui Wenli are waiting nervously.

~~~~

A certain day, probably around the March period.

Cui Wenli waited and waited without receiving any notification about the exercise arrangements, but she did not ignore the formation training either.

On this day, while she was looking through the training reports of the past few days in her office in the military camp, there was suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps outside.

When I raised my eyes, I happened to hear the familiar sound of 'Report!', the source of which was the members of my own dedicated communication group.

"Actual combat?" Cui Wenli pondered and began to think, "In terms of environment, it may be the jungle environment we are familiar with, or it may be a plateau meadow environment like the northern plateau, or a cultivated land environment outside the city;"

~~~~~

The train arrived at its destination a few lights later. The soldiers who had rested along the way did not enter the nearby station to rest. Instead, they received the supplies that had been prepared here and the moose for the journey.

After the group, they rushed towards the direction where the abnormality was found in the 'information'.

"clear!"

".I don't know either. They said that if I am captured, I can reveal this information."

~~~~

The three of Kunna huddled together in a small area underground. They raised their ears almost motionlessly, listening carefully to the movements above. Amidst the sounds of birds chirping, the running of small animals, etc., they listened for several hours.

The time can be spent in silence.

Just as small insects were about to crawl all over the bodies of the three warriors, a few familiar voices came.

The intelligence office under the jurisdiction of the military w received a report from the patrol militia and found abnormal things in the 7-8-4 area of ​​the Northeast Black Forest three days ago, which were suspected to be traces left by hostile forces when they infiltrated. (Identification code) hereby

The Provisional First Intelligence Suppression Brigade is requested to investigate. Please execute this order immediately.

After having this awareness and communicating it to the lower-level organizations, this temporary brigade began to operate based on this information.

"I really thought it would save me a lot of trouble. The meaning of 'ambush' has been lost, right?"

The intelligence came all the way to the detachment, the brigade, the staff and officers based on the time and place where each squad 'encountered' the patrol, and roughly determined its patrol route.

After realizing that "the exercise may have begun", she deliberately began to strictly follow the rules.

First, I took a rough look at the raw data and focused on the "meaningless signals" at the beginning, interruption, and end. I found that there was no problem, it was the command identification signal code for that week.

'Judging from the direction, it is likely to be a round-trip patrol, and the detailed route needs to be confirmed.'

"Understood, I'll send the message right away."

There are several such ‘intelligence units’, some of which are repeated information, and some of which are new information;

For example, this time, several prisoners gave limited information such as 'the identity of the force' and 'simple information about certain cadres'.

It was only then that Kunna and the others emerged from the ground and quickly destroyed the corpses and traces of the potholes.

"Well, it's not that exaggerated."

"clear."

~~~~~

moving train

Cui Wenli summoned all the staff officers and officers to hold a meeting in the partitioned train office, hoping that everyone could figure out what the situation would be like during this trip.

At the moment, she was carrying two cover hands, performing drill tasks in her assigned area.

With the emergence of these coping methods, the situation faced by the temporary brigade gradually became "serious".

At this time, their minds may be filled with such doubts, and each of them showed an expression like a fool, and they were unable to figure it out and take action until the winner was determined between the two sides.

The atmosphere in the partition became slightly silent, and all the officers and non-commissioned officers felt a little nervous at this time.

"What are we? Yes, the Chosen Group! Haha, we are the Chosen Group!"

In other directions, other teams either missed or 'encountered' the previous patrol.

"Sir, I think there will definitely be a real confrontation group waiting for us, but the composition and size are hard to say."

Not long after, the seven teams that came to support entered Kunna's sonic transmission range and formed effective communication with each other several kilometers apart.

But when they went from the underground to the ground, Kunna and the others' heartbeats and breathing were suppressed by the totem, and the transformation from soil medium to air medium was reduced layer by layer. Even with the sensitivity of the trolls' ears, they were not aware of it at all.

.

At the headquarters train station, a rail train that is large enough to carry all the soldiers under Cui Wenli's command is also busy mobilizing the moose specially used to pull the cart, and after feeding them, they are installing traction ropes.

"Very good. From now on, all the guys will think about the situations they may face and possible solutions. After all, the army has just been established, and we have paid more attention to the running-in aspect during training, so although this situation will

It’s tough, but it’s still a good training opportunity.”

Since the militia team obviously had no intention of surrendering, the battle inevitably broke out;

They fought quite happily, but the wind wolves who were smart but not smart enough were a little dumbfounded at this time.

"No! Sir!"

So occasionally the following situation happens.

"Tell me! Who are you! What are you doing here! How many members are there in total!"

"Hey~ Surrender! Are you ready for a real fight?" said the ambushing combat troops, 'persuading them to surrender'.

——Military W Command No. (Identification Code)·Military W Command Division No. No. Communication Transmission (Identification Code)]

Therefore, the troops set up an ambush on the patrol route they had already mastered, hoping to form a large-scale attack in the area and capture a group of tongues without injury.

Considering that while performing tasks on the front line and behind enemy lines, the soldiers of the reconnaissance team do not have many opportunities to efficiently change targeted totems;

Therefore, the existing tactical application scope of this set of commonly used totems needs to be repeatedly examined to its upper and lower limits, and to explore the effects it can achieve in various situations.

In other words, the base was finally confirmed.

Almost fifteen minutes later, almost all the soldiers on staff were ready and were waiting in their respective dormitories.

But it was not entirely without gain. A certain proportion of the militiamen had been given "intelligence" in advance and were ordered to hand it over when they were captured.

"Humph, I don't know! I don't know anything else, I just work with money."

"Sir, didn't you say it's the Northeast Region? I think the coordinates are obviously the forest area, right?"

"Answer me! Are you scared?"

Moreover, the patrols discovered were not isolated in fact. Similar harvests were also reported in several other areas.

And due to the successive entry of witch doctor apprentices, the enemy's totem disadvantage has been eliminated bit by bit. The ambush on this side is no longer a one-sided gain, and 'casualties' have begun to appear on the brigade's side.

After retreating about one kilometer from the origin, Kunna began to send a message to his superior squadron and reported what he had discovered here.

"That's not possible. I said above that we must have a good fight. Haha, we just wanted to have a chance with you standing soldiers~" The militiamen who were in ambush were gearing up, excited for the upcoming battle.

This kind of investigation has been going on for several days, but except for some traces found on the periphery at the beginning, they have not found any valuable information for a long time.

However, due to the possible presence of wind wolves on the enemy side, the scent suppression was always turned on by the two screeners in turn.

At first glance, isn’t it that most of the information has already been grasped?

Not long after, the sound of heavy war drums resounded throughout the entire camp.

Under the drums of war, all the soldiers who were taking turns resting in the tents or performing training missions heard the sound and began to prepare for the mission.

The teams began to evacuate, and after leaving the prohibited communication range, they submitted their respective intelligence to Shangfeng.

~~~~

Obviously, the purpose of gathering intelligence cannot be achieved by just 'seeing', so after this step is achieved, the confrontation begins immediately.

After that, four enemy patrols, a total of more than thirty troll militiamen and eight wind wolves, ambushed in several places.

~~~~

When the Farstrider troops were separated, Quinates chose to stay in the army. Now she is numbered 1 (Provisional First Battalion)-2 (Second Detachment)-1 (Subordinate First Squadron)-1 (Subordinate

Detective Sergeant of the 1st Reconnaissance Team.

After that, as the direction became clear, patrols were discovered one after another, hidden observation towers were marked in sequence, and a stronghold that may have a large number of defenders was successfully discovered in almost the center of the area.

Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Cui Wenli shouted decisively,

The response was a little sparse at first, but soon it resounded throughout the partition and even into the carriage outside.

"Whether it is possible or not, we must think in the direction of 'complexity' and 'difficulty'; that is to say, we must be mentally prepared to face a station alone."

"I think so too, but after all, there is no precedent related to exercises, so I can only imagine based on real actual combat."

'Why are the bosses fighting which boss should I help?'

Shangfeng sent back a message saying that the two squadrons have joined forces and a total of seven reconnaissance teams are rushing here, asking them to cooperate to understand possible patrol routes.

Cui Wenli also left her tent at this time, and as she walked, she ordered the members of the flag officer team who were with her,

"Notify the military academy to send qualified staff interns according to the scale previously announced! Tell them that I will see all the posts arrive within one light hour!"

The number of trolls forming the ambush circle was significantly larger, and some of them were combatants with combat totems to assist them, so they won a complete victory in the end;

In this way, the newly formed brigade successfully took in these prisoners and turned them into data in the 'combat strength' column of the intelligence.

[(Identification code) Attention, the following is the content of the exercise.

Seeing all this in the dark, an unknown speaker helplessly covered his forehead, feeling that the loopholes in the rules of victory and defeat were a bit too big.

The investigation team was scattered one by one, using totems to cover their tracks, and explored the entire area with a radius of more than 100,000 square kilometers.

However, Cui Wenli had already speculated based on the content of the previous subpoena from the command department that such an answer could never be submitted for submission.

The opponents in this exercise definitely have a set identity, purpose, and other information, and these require careful investigation and mastery under her command.

However, one thing makes the other two. If the effect of this exercise is good, it will surely be promoted and become a common 'activity' in the army in the future.

At almost the same time, the instructions related to 'combat prepared moose' were also sent to the relevant units through a step-by-step transmission; then a batch of 250 moose were transferred from the armament breeding base closest to the destination and sent to them.

He boarded the rail train and sent it to the receiving location designated by Cui Wenli.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I have received a communication from the command department under the command of Army W. Please take a look at it!"

While walking, in the corner of her sight, a small bunch of cyan hanging on a tree trunk attracted Kunna's attention;

She raised her hand to indicate the direction, then followed the two soldiers and leaned against the ordinary tree.

It was a bunch of hair, about 1.5 meters high, and it looked like it had been scraped off by the burrs on the tree trunk.

The communications officer handed over the two reports in his hand and handed them to Cui Wenli across the table.

Moreover, the enemy's endless totems also test the front-line team's ability to resist risks to a certain extent.

Obviously, no one could convince anyone with this kind of wrangling, so the two sides quickly threw away this inconvenient rule and began to fight with bare hands, deciding that the one who was suppressed would lose.

But with the disappearance of the first batch of captured members, the base seems to have begun to make corresponding changes, such as shrinking the patrol scope, merging teams, etc.

Before Nesta proposed this concept for this acceptance, no one had thought that simulated battles could be conducted in this way.

At the receiving location, corresponding work is also in progress;

This includes food for the moose, deer stables, logistical supplies for the soldiers, and preparations for the rail train to stop. Everything is being prepared against the clock.

"It's not strange to cut down trees and simulate farming. Three months have passed. Now even if you say that the witch doctors really built a new city there, I won't doubt it;"

The reconnaissance team habitually remained silent. Since there was no trace of the enemy, the screener did not deploy the optical cover totem at this time to save energy.

Picking it up with her fingers, she put it under her eyes to observe carefully, and then put it to the tip of her nose to smell it. Kunna made a judgment that it should belong to a wind wolf.

Groups of reconnaissance teams were sent to the 'suspected areas' they had previously learned. They concealed all information about their vision and smell, bypassed the patrols step by step, and explored in the direction of possible enemy bases.

"Notify the General Logistics Department that 1. the combat-ready moose must be fully prepared at the third branch station of the Northeast Region. I need to be able to see the mounts prepared for the troops when I get off the rail train; 2. the mounts bound for the Northeast Region

Special rail trains for the troops must be prepared immediately. 3. Most of the grain and grass quota for the troops must also be transferred to the third branch of the Northeast Region;"

She squatted down again and began to check the extension direction of the previous burr, and guessed the direction of the target wind wolf.

The subordinate detachment establishments continued to move forward in different directions, and frontline command centers of corresponding levels were deployed.

Half an hour later, twelve non-commissioned officers of all levels from the military academy who had taken intelligence-related courses quickly arrived at the camp. Although their professionalism was still very immature, they were also arranged into the detachment and brigade-level staff group.

middle.

The footsteps were transmitted from the ground to the underground, only passing through a layer of soil as a medium, and then entered the ears of the three trolls;

In addition to long and short-range weapons and shields, you should also prepare emergency energy supplements such as fat and sugar crystals that you carry with you.

Such as the ability of the three trolls' grassroots team to escape when detected, their ability to resist when they have to fight, their cover effect in the face of high-pressure situations, and their efficiency in intelligence collection and transmission.

These indicators are important basis for whether they can survive on the battlefield and provide intelligence that matches the risks. Naturally, they are also one of the key observation items of this trial.

Therefore, after synthesizing all aspects of intelligence, Cui Wenli finally summarized and integrated the information, and defined the approximate scope of the 'enemy base'.

After learning about this situation, Cui Wenli and other officers understood the intelligence acquisition methods specified in the exercise and continued the prisoner capture operation.

Gradually, the sounds above my head became distant and eventually disappeared.

After reading the content and confirming that it was correct, Cui Wenli immediately stood up and loudly ordered to the flag officer on duty,

"Emergency combat preparation! Now!"

With darkness all around them, the three trolls heard the sound coming from above the ground almost at the same time.

'Footsteps. About eight hundred kilograms belonging to nine militia patrols of our compatriots; four-legged animals. Two wind wolves; this is it!'

Small and medium-sized ambushes and counter-ambush battles broke out frequently during the subsequent exercises;

Under this situation, the information cooperation between each squadron and each squadron, and the ability of the detachment and the brigade to grasp the situations encountered by the subordinate formations were gradually revealed.

After checking this, she started to check the translation file compared with the original signal, and while confirming the content, she checked whether there were any potential incorrect translation problems.

"clear."

For example, the identity is a troll and the purpose is practice assessment;

As for the squadrons below the detachment, they also started their own search missions. In the next few days, they gradually discovered some traces similar to ruts, animal excrement, footprints, etc., and then made further tracking.

Cui Wenli seemed to realize something. She felt that this should be the beginning of the exercise, or a relevant notification.

"clear!"

"Oh? Are you scared? Where is your bravery? Tell me! Where did you run away! If virtual exercises are so cowardly, what can the Republic expect from us?"

After walking some distance forward, Cui Wenli found a relatively secluded location and set up a temporary command center for the brigade, allowing the communication unit of the brigade to start communication preparations under the protection of the directly affiliated combat troops;

Since almost all the wind wolves in the east are now under the control of the headquarters, this guy may be cooperating with the trolls to perform some mission.

In the eyes of trolls, wind wolves are synonymous with weak combat power. All they can perform is patrol missions using their sense of smell.

~~~~~

The interrogation of prisoners is naturally fruitless. After all, everyone is their own "people" and it is impossible to really force them to interrogate them.

"As for the confrontation group, it may be the local militia, or there may be wolves and a few black sabertooth beasts, as well as witch doctor apprentices, and even a few witch doctors who are free, they may also participate."

"We are not afraid!"

Kunna did not give a more detailed explanation. All action plans had already been laid out at the squadron level;

Therefore, this eight teams, including themselves, followed the instructions from the top and started a journey at eight points found through calculations that could accommodate several patrol methods such as 'circular' and 'round trip'.

Boring incubation period.

After they complete these matters, they must gather and rest at a designated location to ensure that they are ready to set off at any time and wait for the next order from the summit.

"Understood!" the flag officer responded, turned around and ran away.

"So, haha, you guys will attack directly next time. Other militia teams will definitely fight you. Want to persuade you to surrender? Impossible."

"I understand. It is indeed possible."

I don't expect these students to come up with any ideas, just treat it as a practical lesson; after all, let alone actual combat, opportunities for formal exercises are actually very rare at this stage.

When all the preparations we could make were completed, and after confirming the orders and supplies with the Command Department and the General Logistics Department, Cui Wenli led the temporary brigade under her command and boarded the waiting ship.

I rode the rail car for a while.

"Um, what a stupid name."

'It doesn't look like a large force has been marching, so this is a patrol route? What's the direction?'

However, perhaps in order to simulate the actual situation, the information given by Army W this time was too crude. Cui Wenli had almost no idea about the situation over there, so she was still worried.

"I need to report the findings to the superior. Let's retreat for now." After making a basic judgment, Kunna ordered her two subordinates.

The common establishment is nothing more than a missing nine-troll militia squad, a full ten-troll militia squad, and accompanying wind wolves for coordination.

Since the 'hostile party' may also be a troll, if there is a totem related to the communication on the opposite side, even if the signal from this side cannot be identified if the password is different, the obvious sound wave disturbance in the air will be exposed.

The position of the squad;

In order to 'get' victory, the two sides specifically chopped and stabbed each other's forehead and heart. After leaving corresponding marks, they shouted to each other, 'You lose! Lie down!', 'I hit you first!'

It's time to lie down'.

On this trip, they will get off the bus at the Third Branch Station of the Northeast Region, then transfer to the Battlefield Moose and go to the 'intelligence discovery site' to start the reconnaissance operation.

"Don't be afraid!"

"Really annoying."

"Come in." Cui Wenli arranged the materials at hand and gave this order.

‘Coming from the northeast, it’s hard to judge whether it’s a circular patrol or a round-trip patrol’

The drum sound contains many signals, including combat readiness level, mission level, etc.;

The soldiers in charge of their respective duty departments must prepare for tasks at the corresponding level under the leadership of their respective superiors based on the content of these signals that they have learned by heart in advance.

Next, it is natural to enter the second stage - grasp the enemy's specific information, including the enemy's identity, location, quantity, organization composition, purpose, combat strength, etc.

"On the battlefield, the enemy will not let us make progress through learning."

"."

Unfortunately, the patrol on the ground barely had any conversation during the march, which made Kunna, who originally wanted to hear some news from them, feel a little disappointed.

"Okay, what about the rest? What's the purpose? If you get caught, just tell me, okay? I'll treat you to something delicious when I get back."

The same is true for the taste. The complex composition of the soil has already reduced the smell, and under the combined effects of the depth of hiding and totem suppression, the noses of the two wind wolves have almost become decorations at this time.

The report is divided into two parts, one is the original data record of the signal, and the other is the content of the former after code translation.

Both sides were holding practice weapons, which would leave obvious colored marks on their bodies;

Therefore, all the teams in the incubation period maintained a "sound wave silence state" at this time, and above, the squadrons and detachments also temporarily listed this area as a prohibited communication direction.

The ones who observed them were mainly Nesta and several other advanced witch doctors, supplemented by some ordinary witch doctors who were free.

Among them, advanced witch doctors rely on their wider and longer-term monitoring capabilities to allow other witch doctors to more easily grasp the location of new battlefields;

Ordinary witch doctors will later use their more efficient and longer-lasting magic than totems, such as stealth, acceleration, etc., to hide themselves, arrive at the battlefield, and then observe the battle.

As a result, many battles in multiple directions were carried out and ended under the supervision of the witch doctors, allowing them to obtain a lot of first-hand information.

As for these witch doctors who spend almost every day doing research in their headquarters;

Although I was somewhat reluctant when I was called, after being in the forest for a while, I felt that it would be good to relax occasionally, and I gradually started to enjoy it as a kind of refreshment.
