Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Gao Cheng quickly realized, "No, no, Anbang, were you implying something about me just now?"

Zhang Anbang waved his hands repeatedly, "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense, Company Commander. Although you are my old Company Commander and my elder brother, you have to have evidence for anything you say."

Looking at Zhang Anbang's flawless expression, Gao Cheng knew he couldn't argue with this guy, so he didn't delve into the topic further.

Zhang Anbang also began to change the subject, "Company Commander, you know that night reconnaissance is difficult. My plan includes group reconnaissance and regular reporting."

You absolutely must stick to this rule. The signal is poor in the mountains, and it's easy to get lost and lose contact if you're alone. If that happens, we'll have to search for you all over the mountains, and the training mission will definitely be ruined.

"Don't worry, I will go back and emphasize the night control procedures to the key personnel of each company and platoon again, and each squad will be equipped with a positioning sentry."

Report your position to the battalion duty officer every fifteen minutes, keep a record of the entire process, and ensure it perfectly matches the requirements of your plan.

……

Time always flies when you're busy, especially in winter when the days are short and the nights are long. It's only a little past four in the afternoon when the sun sets and the sky quickly darkens.

As the sun set, the temperature dropped significantly, and the cold wind, carrying some remaining snow, felt like being slashed by a knife on the face.

All officers and soldiers returned to the logistics area to replenish their hot meals and take a short rest. Half an hour later, all of them carried night vision equipment and reconnaissance gear and began special night training.

Nighttime location marking, infiltration into mountainous areas under no-light conditions, silent concealment, and fixed nighttime sentry duty.

Limited visibility at night, along with hidden risks in ravines and steep slopes, makes these challenging subjects particularly difficult during training.

After arranging all the tasks, Gao Cheng and Zhang Anbang began the spot checks according to the route in the plan.

"Anbang, I told you before that soldiers are prone to drowsiness at night, and they may sway or talk while lying in ambush."

I specifically arranged for key personnel from the company and platoon to patrol in shifts, closely monitoring the tactical discipline of the squads throughout the process, preventing any relaxation of requirements or perfunctory actions due to poor visibility at night. Anyone found slacking off was immediately pulled up and given extra practice in silent standing posture.

"Being strict is a good thing. Nighttime concealment is a basic skill for reconnaissance soldiers. Strict generals and strict soldiers. Back in the Seventh Company, wasn't that what you taught me?"

As he spoke, Zhang Anbang took out his flashlight, turned it to the low-light setting, and opened the training plan. "Company Commander, after the night training, each squad must check each person's hands, feet, and face for frostbite marks and record them."

"If there is redness, swelling, or itching, apply anti-frostbite ointment immediately. Company Commander, you need to remember to arrange this. Report the situation at tomorrow's debriefing meeting; I need to take notes."

Gao Cheng patted Zhang Anbang on the shoulder, his tone very confident, "Don't worry, I've arranged everything, there definitely won't be any problems."

Gao Cheng's assurances proved very helpful; the entire night's training proceeded without a single mishap. After the exercises, back at the temporary camp, many veterans gathered at the designated smoking area.

A second-term sergeant said while exhaling smoke, "This training camp is really worry-free. A whole day has passed without any unexpected events interrupting the process."

There were no pressured tasks, and all operations proceeded according to plan. There was no need to rush or panic; it was truly comfortable.

"What to do, what time to do it, what the standards are, and who is responsible for ensuring safety are all clearly written in the documents. There's no need to change the plan at the last minute, the platoon leader isn't in a difficult position, and we don't get scolded. It's really reassuring."

Another soldier chimed in, "The supplies and ammunition were all calculated in advance according to the number of people. There was plenty of ointment for freezing hands and feet, and the safety rules were explained in detail one by one. It was so thorough."

"That's right. This time, the deputy head of the training department came to coordinate with us personally. You all know that that 'Gaga Rabbit Maniac' has a long-standing relationship with our deputy battalion commander."

I heard this is his first deployment mission since transferring to the training department, so he'll definitely be paying attention to everything.

"Hmm, that makes sense. But this 'Gardo Maniac' is really something. I heard he was the deputy company commander when our deputy battalion commander was the company commander, and the two of them worked together."

Last time, I saw him hauling back truckloads of rabbits, and I thought he just spent all his time figuring out how to cook them. I never expected him to be so skilled.

A few people were chatting together when Ma Xiaoshuai overheard them. "What are you all muttering about here? Don't talk nonsense."

You all know that guy's name. He's a notorious smiling tiger in our entire T Division. He's incredibly capable. Let me tell you, even though I only went to the Seventh Company, I still know quite a lot of things.

Let me tell you, back when Deputy Section Chief Zhang was in the Seventh Company, that guy was incredibly ruthless and vicious…”

Inside the command tent, Gao Cheng flipped through the statistical reports and laughed heartily, "Your plan is indeed very good. These statistical results are very telling."

It was a bit of a hassle, but it really worked!

Zhang Anbang nodded. "Company Commander, this is normal. It's normal to have more details to do, because we rely on handwriting now. But it will be much more convenient once everything is entered electronically."

In the following days, the training camp progressed steadily.

Every morning at the crack of dawn, Zhang Anbang would first sit in the logistics tent to review the day's training priorities and check the previous day's inventory of supplies and ammunition. He would meticulously record the quantities of fuel and live ammunition used, ensuring that the accounts and supplies were completely consistent.

After the evening exercises, a 20-minute debriefing meeting is held promptly with the key personnel of each company and platoon to check the completion of the day's tasks item by item against the plan.

Any deviations in movement or omissions in procedures that occur during training are pointed out on the spot, and corrective measures are determined immediately to prevent problems from piling up.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, an accident occurred: the third company's patrol team shortened their maneuver route by 200 meters without authorization.

During the debriefing meeting, Zhang Anbang didn't hold back with Gao Cheng and pointed it out directly.

The company commander of the third company quickly stood up and apologized, "Deputy battalion commander, Deputy Section Chief Zhang, it was my fault for not managing things properly. The soldiers thought the mountain road was difficult to walk and took shortcuts to save time. I did not stop them in time."

We will strictly adhere to the planned training route and will not cut corners without authorization.

Zhang Anbang remained silent, but Gao Cheng spoke directly, "Tomorrow, the entire camp will be informed of this matter. Each squad leader should emphasize that the training routes, distances, and durations should all adhere to the plan."

Anyone who tries to simplify subjects or doubles down on remedial training will be discouraged.

"Yes, Deputy Battalion Commander," everyone replied in unison.

The company commander immediately assured him, "Deputy battalion commander, we'll add extra training, double, no, triple the training."

Gao Cheng patted the third company commander on the shoulder and said, "Winter mountain maneuver routes are all drawn up in accordance with actual combat terrain. If you take a shorter route, you will miss a section of training in handling complex terrain."

"During the assessment, points will be deducted accurately. If you slack off by even one point now, you'll lose ten points in the final assessment. Your company's outstanding performance quota this year will depend on your subsequent performance. If there are any more problems, it will be a veto."

The company commander nodded repeatedly, "Yes, deputy battalion commander, it will definitely not happen again."
