Who is the Soldier's Assault?

Chapter 40 Camouflage Exercise
The exercise is finally about to begin.

The armored troops drove out of the gate of the regiment headquarters and onto the dedicated tank passage beside the road.

A broken tree on the side of the road was crushed in two like a matchstick, and then one after another infantry chariots ran over it.

This invisible armored force quickly advanced deep into the grassland.

The grassland was the same as before, except that a simple green cabin suddenly appeared on the side of the road. A pile of dried sheep manure was thrown beside the house, and there were a few milk sheep tied to stakes.

A herdsman passed the road on a motorcycle, thinking it was a new herdsman, stopped the car, opened the door and walked in, muttering, "When was it built? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two heavily armed soldiers stood in front of him.

"Go!" The soldier warned softly.

The herdsman couldn't help being stunned, and was about to say something when he suddenly saw a wooden plank lifted up in the middle, Wang Qingrui and other regiment officers and several staff officers came out of the hole below.

It turned out that there was a hole under the plank.

Under the cave, there are all the sounds of announcements, human voices, and generators. It is impossible to tell how much space there is below and how many people are hiding.

Wang Qingrui said to the herdsman with a smile: "My fellow villager, we will disturb you for a few days, and we will leave when we turn around."

The herdsmen seemed to understand that this was a troop exercise here, turned around, staggered back out, and left on a 125 motorcycle.

He had just passed by the side of a small road, and a piece of turf was uncovered, and the hidden soldiers below watched the smoke and dust behind the car go away.

Wang Qingrui smiled triumphantly: "Success! If I can hide the local people, I have a little confidence in this camouflage exercise."

The chief of staff warned him from the side: "This is not called concealment, it should be called exposure, and there are no security personnel outside."

Wang Qingrui thought for a while: "Yes, yes, this is a loophole. It is unreasonable that there is no living person outside the disguise of our private house! Find two soldiers who can speak the local language, and take off the camouflage for me to herd the sheep!"

……

Grassland Class [-] has already lined up to welcome the instructor He Hongtao today.

He Hongtao drove a jeep to the outside of the barracks, and waved to Li Bing, signaling him to hurry up and get in the car.

With the help of four veterans, Li Bing put his backpack on the back seat, and he himself sat in the co-pilot.

He Hongtao said to the old horse: "Old horse, go get ready first, after the exercise is over, there may be armored troops passing by here, and they need to refuel."

"Yes!" The old horse and the fifth class all saluted, watching the jeep gradually go away...

Li Bing sat in the jeep and remained silent. He knew that this exercise was an opportunity for him.

Not to be missed.

While driving, He Hongtao said, "Li Bing, while I'm at it, let me tell you about the main purpose of this exercise. Our regiment has newly introduced a batch of high-tech equipment and is preparing for a major camouflage operation. Imaging detection system. Our Red Third Company, Steel Seventh Company, and regiment headquarters all have to camouflage and lurk in designated areas."

Speaking of this, He Hongtao remembered something and asked, "Li Bing, do you know infrared thermal imaging technology?"

Li Bing didn't answer, he knew it, but he didn't learn it in Class [-], and Xu Sanduo didn't know it either. That's why in the original play, the Gangqi Company was found in the hidden snow area with two hot eggs.

Seeing that Li Bing did not speak, He Hongtao mistakenly thought that he did not know, and explained: "The principle of thermal imaging is simply to form images according to temperature. Objects in nature, as long as they are higher than absolute zero, that is -273°C, will continue to radiate outward. Infrared radiation. The higher the temperature of the object, the stronger the infrared energy radiated outward. This part of the light emitted by the object is invisible to the naked eye, but the infrared thermal imager can capture this part of the light and pass it through a series of Technology converts this into an image visible to the human eye, known as an infrared heat map."

"Our human body has temperature. We can use special camouflage, such as covering vegetation, adding a protective net, or hiding underground, etc., or not eating hot meals or drinking hot water to reduce body heat, so that it is easy to integrate with the environment. As a whole, it is very difficult for thermal imaging cameras to see differences in temperature and detect where we are hiding."

He Hongtao paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you understand what I said?"

Li Bing nodded and said, "Yes."

"That's good. The most important thing is that you have not been trained in camouflage. Although I agree to let you participate in this exercise, the commander of the third company is afraid that you will make mistakes, so let me take you to act alone... Don't blame the third company. Commander, a company has been preparing for a full week, which is not easy, do you understand?"

Li Bing nodded: "I understand, I won't implicate Hong Sanlian, I'm willing to hide and disguise alone."

"That's good. In this way, the camouflage area of ​​our Red Third Company is in Area H. Have you seen the hill in front? The Seventh Steel Company is camouflaging in that area, and the bubble in front of you and the one on the other side That pine forest is the hidden area of ​​our Red Three Company. As long as it is in this exercise area, it is not a violation. You find a place to hide here, and I will pick you up when the time comes. By the way, there is a Locator, if you are in danger, you can open it and we can find you."

As he spoke, he stuffed a locator into Li Bing's hand.

He Hongtao secretly sighed in his heart, such an exercise, usually the director team has already planned it out, basically the soldier would not be given a chance to show his face.

The exercise has now entered the countdown, and he still has a lot of things to deal with, so he basically explained and left.

Li Bing looked at the surrounding environment, it must be too late to dig a hole, and there are no tools or camouflage nets, only this bubble in front of him.

Even if He Hongtao doesn't explain it, he still knows the principle of using the infrared thermal imager, and he also knows an ancient method to avoid infrared detection, which is to smear mud on the body.

……

In the distance, there is a hill on the grass that blends in with the surrounding environment. If you look closely, there is actually a black muzzle under the grass.

This is the bunker for the tanks and personnel of the Seventh Steel Company.

Shi Jin brought several people to do the final reinforcement.

Xu Sanduo has always been by Shi Jin's side, he likes to stay with Shi Jin and clings to him all day long.

But Wu Liuyi couldn't understand Xu Sanduo, and scolded: "If you really want to show off, don't bother here! It's already entered the countdown to the drill, do you know?"

Xu Sanduo let out an oh, bowed his head and left.

Looking at Xu Sanduo's back, Wu Liuyi felt incomprehensible, and asked Shi Jin, "What's the matter with this kid? I'm posting you now?"

Before Shi Jin could answer, Xu Sanduo in front turned around and shouted again: "Squad leader, breakfast is here, let's eat!"

The people in the third class often looked from a distance, and it was indeed the instructor Hong Xingguo who came with the kitchen cart for breakfast.

Wu Liuyi was almost annoyed: "What is he yelling about? I don't know it's a camouflage exercise now! I'm afraid the director team won't hear it!"

Shi Jin smiled wryly and said, "If you were treated as a transparent person by Quanlian every day, wouldn't you make some noises to make people notice you? Go and eat first, and I'll fill up the trap of disguise."

Xu Sanduo ran back again at this time: "Squad leader, you eat first, and then you can do it after eating..."

Wu Liuyi finally got tired of hearing it, and stretched out his hand to cover Xu Sanduo's mouth and dragged him to the kitchen cart.

He has long been tired of hearing Xu Sanduo's talk, and he can hear the hatred.Shi Jin wiped off his sweat, and then covered the camouflage net with turf dug elsewhere.

Soldiers clustered around the kitchen truck, eating today's breakfast.

The communications soldier ran over with the radio on his back and said a few words to the instructor Hong Xingguo. Hong Xingguo's face changed, and he turned around and ordered loudly: "Evacuate immediately. The reconnaissance helicopter came out ahead of time. It deliberately launched a surprise attack."

A row of soldiers who were eating on this hill suddenly exploded.

Hong Xingguo issued an order in an orderly manner: "Unarmed vehicles leave the exercise area immediately! Especially the cooking vehicle, its heat source is too large, drive farther away, and disguise it."

Shi Jin also ran over in a hurry: "Take away everything you can't finish eating with the car, don't let the imaginary enemy see the trace."

The soldiers have always obeyed unconditionally. Without saying a word, they put the half-eaten steamed buns back.

Xu Sanduo also smiled triumphantly, and ran away with everyone. Before leaving, he took two freshly boiled eggs from the pot. He always remembered that Shi Jin was hungry and hadn't had breakfast yet.

The cooking truck drove down the woods on the hillside, and the soldiers had already dispersed into the semi-underground camouflaged bunkers. The hills looked no different from the surrounding grasslands.
