Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

In the company headquarters office, Zhang Anbang and Gao Cheng watched the fight from the window. Zhang Anbang laughed heartily, "Whose subordinate is this? He's so brave!"

Looking at Zhang Anbang's expression, Gao Cheng wondered if the guy had been watching too much Romance of the Three Kingdoms lately, and said irritably, "That's your third squad leader."

Zhang Anbang pretended to stroke his beard and said, "My subordinate, it's alright now."

Hong Xingguo looked at the two of them with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly that youth is indeed full of energy. This Zhang Anbang is really versatile, although he is a smiling tiger most of the time.

But his occasional quirky and playful side is really funny.

……

Soon, Xu Sanduo accomplished another great feat.

On this day, the entire company organized a field ambush and capture drill. Gao Cheng got interested and wanted to test the combat effectiveness of each squad. He and Zhang Anbang agreed to personally take the lead.

He's very good at infiltration, and he has to compete with Zhang Xiaoqi to make sure he doesn't fall behind in every subject.

Sure enough, as the students from Class One and Class Two went over, no one noticed Gao Cheng lurking nearby.

Gao Cheng let out a careful sigh. He had done his homework to ensure his infiltration was flawless, hoping to defeat Zhang Anbang once.

The core of infiltration training lies in four principles: concealment, quietness, endurance, and prevention of exposure. It is a core subject in basic infantry tactical training.

In terms of terrain, it is best to take advantage of the terrain to hide, stay close to the ground, follow the shape, and conceal yourself. Do not actively dig for cover, otherwise it is easy to leave traces and expose your position. Relying on the natural terrain is the best approach.

On plains and grasslands, adopt a low crawling or sideways crouching posture, keeping your body close to the ground and using embankments, bushes, and depressions for cover, with your back parallel to the ground to avoid forming a clear silhouette.

In woodlands and hills, they rely on tree trunks, earthen slopes, and piles of stones, their bodies close to the cover, their heads slightly lowered, using branches and leaves to conceal their upper bodies, and their limbs tucked in and not exposed.

When lying in ambush at night, prioritize areas with little light and shade to avoid casting a silhouette under moonlight or artificial light. Ideally, your body should blend seamlessly into your surroundings.

In terms of body posture, the most commonly used position is the prone position for lurking. The key points are to lie face down with your arms close to your sides, your legs together and straight, your chin slightly tucked in and touching the ground, your eyes looking straight ahead, and your breathing slow and gentle.

The second position is the kneeling position, with one knee on the ground, the other leg bent and flat on the ground, the buttocks sitting on the heel, the upper body straight, close to the cover, one hand on the ground, and the other hand lightly holding the weapon.

This posture is a stealthy posture used for temporary observation and waiting for instructions.

The last method involves standing and crouching, relying on tall objects for cover. The person stands with their back against a tree trunk or a slope, feet shoulder-width apart, body half-squatting, and center of gravity lowered.

Turning the head to the side to observe, with all four limbs hidden behind cover and only the eyes exposed, is a suitable method of concealment for rapid observation in woodlands.

In those days, even elite units like the Steel Seventh Company didn't have much special equipment. The only good thing was that they had more paint, which they also used in daily training.

Normal company training does not involve paint.

In terms of equipment, it's camouflage uniform, camouflage helmet, and then a camouflage net covering your body. When lying in ambush, be sure to hold the cuffs and trouser legs of your training uniform tightly.

This reduces the body outline and lowers the risk of exposure, while also preventing your little cutie from giving you a surprise.

Others use locally sourced materials, such as weeds, branches, and fallen leaves, to camouflage the netting. When placing these, it's important to note that they should be spaced out rather than densely packed, and short rather than long.

The placement of the insert is generally to cover the shoulders, head, and other protruding parts, so that the person blends in with the surrounding environment.

As for ordinary companies without camouflage paint, during training, exposed areas such as hands and necks are covered with camouflage cloth and weeds to avoid reflection.

Gao Cheng put in a lot of effort according to the instigation techniques and skills, and his whole person was hidden very naturally.

Sure enough, even his elite squad, the third squad, couldn't find him. One by one, the members of the third squad also went over.

Gao Cheng slowly raised his head, a smile slowly spreading across his face. "I'm still the best. More than thirty people went by, and not one of them noticed me."

Gao Cheng felt a surge of pride, but then he thought, "None of these three classes noticed me. I still need to practice more."

Gao Cheng slowly straightened up, turned his head to look behind him, and saw that there was no one there. He was about to sit up and think about how to give these little brats extra training.

He was too happy too soon. A gust of wind came and a figure suddenly attacked from behind, the movement swift and decisive.

Before Gao Cheng could react, he was suddenly pinned down, his throat was gripped, and a pine cone was shoved into his mouth.

"Ugh, ugh," Gao Cheng struggled to reveal his identity, but his struggle only made the attacker move faster.

They grabbed Gao Cheng's hands, twisted them behind his back, and tied them tightly with backpack rope. After tying him up, the attacker relaxed a bit, pulled out some tape, and stuck it to his mouth to prevent him from spitting out the pine cone.

After doing all this, the attacker saw that Gao Cheng was still struggling, so he brandished his hand and chopped at Gao Cheng's neck.

Gao Cheng let out a muffled groan and arrived in response.

The attackers breathed a sigh of relief, picked up Gao Cheng and ran. When they arrived at the rendezvous point, they found themselves alone. It seemed that their comrades were not as fast as him in the search and advance.

The attacker threw Gao Cheng to the ground and sat down himself, panting heavily. Gao Cheng was over 1.8 meters tall and a big, strong man. He was exhausted from carrying the load all the way through the mountains.

As dawn broke, the figure who had launched the sneak attack rested against the high wall. In the dim light, one could vaguely make out that the face under the greasepaint was none other than Xu Sanduo.

Soon, footsteps sounded, and the other soldiers also came to assemble.

"How's it going? Anyone got anything?" Zhang Anbang, draped in a camouflage net, strode over and asked.

"It's Xu Sanduo." The other members of Class 3 also saw the two figures at the assembly point.

Upon hearing Zhang Anbang's question, they immediately shouted out, "San Duo is now the pride of their Class 3!"

Xu Sanduo chuckled, "Deputy Company Commander, I... I captured a prisoner."

"Sanduo, not bad, not bad, who did you catch?"

"Uh, I don't know, I haven't seen it yet." Upon hearing Zhang Anbang's question, Xu Sanduo realized that he had carried the man here, dumped him on the ground, and rested, without having seen it yet.

Upon hearing this, the students of Class Three crowded around the figure on the ground, saying, "Look, quickly see who it is!"

Bai Tiejun was the first to rush over, peeling off the tape. "Oh my god, it's the company commander!"

Bai Tiejun's shout drew everyone's attention. "What's going on? What's going on? Why did they arrest the company commander?"

"Hey, why isn't the company commander moving? What's going on? Medic, medic!"

"Quick, untie the ropes for the company commander!" Several people who had gathered around helped Gao Cheng up and quickly untied the ropes, laying him flat on the ground.

"Deputy Company Commander, the Company Commander is still unconscious, and the medic won't be there for a while. What should we do?" Wu Liuyi asked in a deep voice.

Zhang Anbang leaned forward and saw that Gao Cheng's neck was tilted to the side. He had been knocked unconscious by San Duo. "Quick, give the company commander artificial respiration."

"I'll do it, I'll do it! My battlefield first aid skills are top-notch!" Bai Tiejun said, raising his hand as he stepped forward.

Just as Bai Tiejun pouted, preparing to lean forward, a large hand accurately covered his mouth.

"Cough, cough," Gao Cheng coughed as he sat up and spat out the pine cone from his mouth.

"What are you doing? What are you doing, Zhang Xiaoqi? Are you doing this on purpose? What kind of kind person would see someone faint and not check them first before giving them CPR?"

Gao Cheng, leaning against a few soldiers, said to Zhang Anbang in an annoyed tone.

"Company Commander, you're wronging me. I was just worried about you!" Zhang Anbang would never admit that he was just watching the show.

"You, you need to be careful next time, don't just give CPR all the time." Gao Cheng thought to himself, that was close. Luckily, he was woken up when the rope was being untied, otherwise he would have been kissed by a man.

Gao Cheng then turned his head and asked, "Who grabbed me just now?"

"Company Commander, it's Xu Sanduo." Wu Liuyi answered Gao Cheng's question directly.

"We've really messed up," Gao Cheng said, his expression a little unnatural. "Xu, Xu Sanduo, be careful, next time you grab someone's tongue, don't strangle it to death, and don't stuff anything into their mouth."

"You, you grab it, you grab it and kill it, even if you grab it, it's useless now."

"Yes, Company Commander, I... I didn't know it was you. Why aren't you wearing your shoulder insignia today?" Xu Sanduo looked down at his shoes.

He felt that he had followed the class monitor's instructions to catch the students, and hadn't made a single mistake, so there shouldn't be any problems.

But since the company commander said that, he probably didn't do well enough and should pay more attention next time.

Gao Cheng took a sip of water and paused for a moment. "Well, that tongue is a person too, it needs to breathe."

"You, you should be more careful next time." Gao Cheng shook his hand and left.

Zhang Anbang walked over, patted Xu Sanduo on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Sanduo, you did a good job. Keep it up."

"Alright, Wu Liuyi, let's bring the whole team back."

"Yes." Wu Liuyi stood at attention and saluted.

"Squad leader, I... I didn't do anything wrong, did I?" Xu Sanduo asked in a low voice while lining up.

"Sanduo, you're right, you're right, keep it up."

Wu Liuyi smiled and offered a word of encouragement.

Seeing Xu Sanduo's somewhat bewildered expression, Gan Xiaoning whispered, "Sanduo, this is just a drill, an exercise, not a real interrogation. Next time, you can take a closer look at who it is."

Bai Tiejun chimed in, "Sanduo, you did a really good job! Our company commander and deputy company commander love to hide and lie in wait. From now on, make sure you spot who it is first, and don't catch the company commander again!"

The row of soldiers laughed and joked as they returned to their post.
