Chapter 349 Tactical Squad: The first shot on the battlefield, shoot your own people first (Subscribe)
[Teacher Ma sent a team invitation]

Liu Peijia had just left the novice tutorial and returned to her personal virtual space when she received a request to form a team from Teacher Ma.

"Oh? Teacher Ma also completed the novice tutorial?"

When Liu Peijia saw that it was an invitation from Teacher Ma to form a team, she agreed without much hesitation.

"brush--"

With a flash of his figure, Liu Peijia immediately arrived at the team-forming space which looked like a lounge.

Teacher Ma was sitting on the sofa chatting with Boss Yin across from him. When they saw Liu Peijia coming, they quickly stood up to greet her:
"Eggplant, you're finally here. How about we team up and play a game together?"

"Of course there is no problem." Liu Peijia looked around and then smiled:
"What? Are there only three of us on the team this time? Aren't Teacher Piao and the others coming?"

Boss Yin smiled and explained, "I just sent a private message to Teacher Ma, Liuliu, and Brother Xu. They were so tired after finishing the novice tutorial that they went offline first."

"It has to be said that the novice tutorial of the game Tactical Squad is enough to keep some players playing for a whole day."

Teacher Ma continued, "Don't even mention them. Didn't it take us an entire afternoon to complete the novice tutorial?"

"And we're not the fastest. I heard there are experts who finished the novice tutorial in just one hour. They were soldiers in real life. Cyber ​​military training is a piece of cake for them."

"Time waits for no one." Boss Yin suggested, "I think we should team up and give it a try to see how a proper tactical team plays."

"I have no objection to the three of us forming a team!" Liu Peijia scratched his chin and asked, "I just have one question, how do you win this game? Does anyone know?"

Teacher Ma: “Uh…”

Boss Yin: “Hiss…”

Liu Peijia's question really made them both feel troubled.

Although all three of them completed the novice tutorial, they had no additional experience except for the final firefight.

The rules seemed to have been introduced, but they really couldn't tell how to win the game at the moment.

"Oh!" Boss Yin waved his hand and said casually, "It's not surprising that you don't know. Do other players know it? Play a game first, and then you will understand it, right?"

Teacher Ma and Liu Peijia looked at each other in the air and thought that this was indeed the case.

In that case, let’s just do it.

The three of them officially formed a team and prepared to fight in the cyber battlefield. Boss Yin gave their team of three a resounding name -

Veteran BBQ!

At first glance, it is hard to say whether this name will be popular or not.

But with this name, one must know Cyber ​​BBQ very well.

The total number of online viewers in the live broadcast rooms of Mr. Ma, Liu Peijia, and Boss Yin is as high as 300,000, which is a huge amount of traffic.

Among them, there are many players who are currently unable to enter the tactical team to experience cyber military training due to various reasons. They can only watch how the anchor plays the game in the live broadcast room.

But who would have thought that Tactical Squad is worthy of being the civilian commercial version of the virtual military training software system produced by Taipingdao Game Company, and the novice tutorial is really hardcore.

Even a technical anchor like Liu Peijia spent an entire afternoon on the novice tutorial.

The viewers in the live broadcast room were originally drowsy after watching the novice tutorial, but they became energetic when they saw that Teacher Ma, Boss Yin, and Liu Peijia actually teamed up.

What is Veteran BBQ?

Clearly the three cyber idiots!

Isn’t this the effect of the show?

"Great! Even though the three of them are not very skilled, I think the show is great whenever they play together, even if it's just chatting."

"Hahahaha, Veteran BBQ, they were the ones who came up with this name."

"Brothers, go online, is there anyone who wants to snipe them?"

"Count me in, count me in!"

"No? That's how you play, right? Then I'll join in!"

"Tsk, tsk, you guys don't really want Cyber ​​3 to live a fool's life, do you?"

"I don't care. The three of them are my Tamagotchis. Don't kill them!"

Friends in the live broadcast room were chattering and posting comments.

Some said they wanted to snipe Veteran BBQ, some said don't kill my Tamagotchi, and some even expressed different opinions on the name of the team Veteran BBQ.

【Link Server】

[Enter the game]

[Note: Welcome to the Tactical Squad. It is recommended that you complete the "Deployment Training" before entering the battlefield]

【CONTINUE】【SKIP】

In the team formation space, Mr. Ma, as the team leader, pressed [CONTINUE].

Because of their nervousness and anticipation, the three of them chose to ignore the comments from netizens and started preparing for their first serious game in the tactical team.

【Game Mode】

[This is the mission log, here we can see information about the current mission, game mode and action area]

【Action area: Sumari Bala Seed V2-seed】

【Game Mode: Seed】

[Seed is a smaller, faster paced mode where you build a HAB and fight for the central control point to win, depleting the enemy's tickets. The purpose of this mode is to jumpstart the server population]

【Central goal——】

[Each team starts with the central target near the resurrection point, and the round begins after 15 minutes. ]

[Camp Selection——]

[Here are the two factions in action - recognizing what the enemy looks like is extremely important in a squad, and will make the difference between engaging the enemy correctly, or causing a friendly fire incident.]

[Take a good look at each faction, remember what they look like, and join one before continuing. ]

[Red Side: The Russian Ground Force Battalion Tactical Group is the land component of the Russian Army. Today's Russian Army is a highly professional, technologically modernized combat force that can be quickly deployed overseas.]

【Click here to join】

[Blue side: Kangaroo Defense Force·Royal Regiment·ADF 1901st Battalion is a military organization composed of the Kangaroo Army, Navy, and Air Force. Its history can be traced back to the Kangaroo Federation in , and it has close cooperation with some countries in the world]

【Click here to join】

Teacher Ma had no preference between the two camps. After a brief discussion with Liu Peijia and Boss Yin, he chose to join the blue side.

【Select Team】

[This is the team list. Here, you can join an existing team or create your own team. ]

【SEED】

【Fighting for the Central Goal】

Teacher Ma directly chose to create a team with the three anchors as the core.

【Army Type Selection】

[There are several arms to choose from, each with its own uses. Create a unified and effective squad through communication with your teammates. As more arms become available, your squad size and team size will increase. 】

[Some arms are limited, and only 2 to 3 arms of the same type can be deployed at a time]

In the troop selection interface, players have four major troop types to choose from, namely machine gunners, demolition soldiers, infantry, and commanders.

Boss Yin, Teacher Ma, and Liu Peiqia each chose the type of soldiers they liked.

【Tactical Map】

[The tactical map will display all elements of the camp facilities, objectives, and positions of each team in the action area. ]

[Players and Squad Leaders] [Choose a deployment area: There are many different respawn points on the battlefield for respawning.]

[Main base: Your faction's main base. All vehicles will be refreshed here. When you respawn here, all ammunition will be automatically replenished. ]

[Forward Operations Base (FOB): An outpost built by the player. Before starting the operation, remember to resupply ammunition in the ammunition box. ]

[Assembly point (Team Pack): The respawn point is placed by your team leader. When you revive at the respawn point, you will not receive supplies. 】

Double-click a spawn point to revive at it

In the tactical map interface, there is a map of the entire battlefield.

The main base, front-line combat base, assembly point, and other different information are marked on the map through various special symbols.

Players can officially enter the game only after completing all the above steps in the tactical squad interface.

This shows how hardcore and complex the game Tactical Squad is.

The three cyber idiots selected the respawn point, a light flashed, and everyone entered the game.

[Deployment training completed, I wish you good luck on the battlefield! ]

Liu Peijia's rebirth point was a simple house with a pile of dried hay behind him.

Liu Peiqia had just entered the game and hadn't figured out the situation yet when he heard intermittent gunshots nearby.

From the sound of gunfire, Liu Peijia could judge that although the respawn point was in our area, the surrounding area did not seem peaceful and there was a possibility of sneak attacks by enemy soldiers at any time.

"Brother, what are we going to do with this wave?"

Liu Peijia looked at Boss Yin standing aside, because the type of soldier Boss Yin chose among the three was commander.

"Wait a moment, let me see what's going on." Boss Yin entered the commander interface, and the dense and overwhelming information made his scalp numb.

[Faction/Game Mode Information] [Army Equipment Configuration] [Deployment]

[Team 1][Team 2][Team 3]

[Team 4][Team 5][Team 6]

【重生点选择——主基地(02-3-9)，（前哨C3-8-8）】

[Move towards the enemy base and exceed half the distance to the nearest flag point of the enemy base, BAN for 7 days]

【…】

Boss Yin: "..."

Is it so difficult to command?
Isn’t this going to kill me?
"How do we do this?" After thinking for a moment, Boss Yin said:

"Old Coin's tactical preset plan, rule one - sneak into the village quietly, don't shoot!"

Teacher Ma nodded in agreement: "Well said, let's first figure out the situation."

The three of them crouched down, carefully left the respawn point, and looked around.

The houses are made of cement, with exposed exterior walls and no tiles. The entire structure is cement. The architectural style does not resemble that of China, but rather that of some oil-producing countries.

These buildings are arranged in an orderly manner, forming a series of crooked streets.

On the sandy streets, brown containers can be seen next to houses and gunshots can be heard from time to time.

"Hey... your uncle!" Boss Yin exclaimed:
"What the hell are you doing here, you little bastard? Is this still China?"

The three of them walked on the street, fully alert, listening to the gunshots, and walked briskly towards where the gunfire was most intense.

"careful!"

Boss Yin waved his hand and Teacher Ma and Liu Peijia stopped immediately.

"What's wrong?" Liu Peiqia asked.

"Use the telescope to see."

"what?"

Liu Peijia did as he was told and observed through the telescope. He found that a soldier's helmet was faintly shaking at the window of a house not far away.

"Hey! Finally I'm here! Isn't this a godsend?"

Liu Peijia thought so in his heart, but his hands were not idle. He raised his rifle, aimed through the scope, and pulled the trigger cleanly and efficiently.

"Bang! Bang! Bang -"

A rapid and continuous stream of bullets fired from the gun barrel hit the soldier's head near the window almost at the same time.

“Hahahaha, I got it!”

Liu Peijia roared softly, extremely excited.

This was also his first time shooting and killing enemies in a tactical squad game with a sense of wholeness mode. The feeling was so thrilling.

But who would have thought that a series of angry rebukes would be heard in the team communication channel -

"No, who is this? Are you hitting your own people?"

"Watch your attire carefully, don't hurt friendly forces by mistake!"

"What the hell! Who hit me? Are you blind?"

"Do you know how to play? Don't shoot randomly!"

"General Tiangong has repeatedly given orders, and even had a system prompt before the game started. Didn't you guys read it?"

Liu Peijia: “…”

Teacher Ma: “…”

Boss Yin: "..."

It’s bad, the first shot on the battlefield will be shot at our own people?

This is undoubtedly a cyber joke!
It is unimaginable for players to accidentally injure friendly forces in other FPS games, but it is a real possibility in Tactical Squad.

All the virtual information and virtual reality effects that appear in other FPS games are completely absent in Team Squad.

For example, the shooting crosshairs in other FPS games. The reason is very simple. Where is the virtual crosshair for you to see in real life?
Players must use sights if they want to aim accurately.

Similarly, there is no kill prompt, and players have to rely entirely on their eyes to judge whether the enemy has fallen.

For example, mechanisms such as healing and blood recovery are different in Team Squad from those in most other games on the market.

If the player is hit by a bullet and is injured, and does not bandage and treat the wound in time or wait for help from a medic, then I'm sorry, you will die immediately.

Moreover, when players are injured, there will be many negative effects, such as blurred vision, slow movement, etc.

The most important thing is that since Tactical Squad is an extremely realistic FPS game, one or two bullets from the enemy can kill you. There is no gun combat like in other FPS games.

What’s even funnier is that the tactical squad doesn’t even have a small map showing the positions of teammates and enemies. At most, it’s just a large map for players to explore on their own, relying entirely on voice communication with teammates.

Liu Peijia quickly apologized to his teammates who were accidentally injured on the communication channel:
"Brother, big brother, my dear brother, I'm sorry, I just left the Novice Village and entered the server for the first time, I really don't know how to do it."

"I just saw the helmet, not the uniform. I thought it was the enemy. And there was no information or anything like that when the bullet hit."

"I really didn't know it was my own people. Sorry, sorry."

Among the current tactical teams, who among the players who can enter the server is not a newcomer?
At most, they played two more rounds than Liu Peijia, and they had all experienced this kind of thing before, so no one would be really angry after a few curses.

"Don't do this next time. You don't know how to play. Just follow me. Even though I don't know how to play, at least I know a little better than you."

Boss Yin immediately smiled and said, "Hey, hey, I'll trouble you for this game, brother."

"Brother, you are very broad-minded. We are counting on you to lead us to victory."
