After the rookie arena matches concluded, everyone was to prepare for the battlefield.
Before that, the newly formed squads would undergo some combat simulation training.
On this day, Huang Yuhua and Liu Xiaoxiao gathered the six squads of the rookie platoon to begin their squad-based combat simulation training.
"Wow! Where is this? How is the space so vast!"
Upon entering the training camp, Ma Long exclaimed with his mouth agape.
The space here occupied several mu, stretching as far as the eye could see, almost without any discernible boundaries.
"This is the special special forces combat training camp. Although the entire area appears empty, do you see those camera-like devices on the ceiling? Those are the most advanced holographic projectors in the entire Xia Kingdom. Before heading to the battlefield, we will conduct combat training in various scenarios here!"
Ma Long was even more astonished by Tang Geng's explanation.
"This... such a large area? I've never used such a wide-range holographic projection for training in ordinary special forces before!"
Hearing Ma Long's exclamation, Tang Qin replied impatiently.
"Hey, how can your former unit compare to the special special forces? No matter what, your combat simulations are some kind of infiltration missions, and you don't use weapons of mass destruction. But when cultivators fight, they often use large-scale martial skills. If the training ground is too small, they can't even unleash them!"
Upon hearing this explanation, Ma Long immediately understood.
"That makes sense! The power of cultivators' martial arts and techniques is far greater than ordinary firearms. If it were like the urban warfare of ordinary special forces, we would be crushed in an instant. It's indeed not suitable!"
As they were speaking, Huang Yuhua and Liu Xiaoxiao, who were leading the group, stopped. After a brief regrouping, Huang Yuhua began to issue the day's mission.
"Everyone, you are currently in the exclusive training camp of the special special forces. Based on our past combat experience with异能人 (superpowered individuals), we have set up various types of simulated missions and combat environments. The purpose is, firstly, to foster the tacit understanding among the members of each squad, and secondly, to hone the collaborative abilities of our entire platoon! Before starting the mission, there is one thing I want everyone to remember. Once on the battlefield, regardless of individual strength, we are all comrades. Helping fellow soldiers within our capabilities is our tenet! In short, there is only one sentence: the mission must be completed, and everyone must return safely! Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Hearing everyone's resounding reply, Huang Yuhua and Liu Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, then continued.
"Very good! Since this is your first training, our combat simulation mission is relatively simple. The intelligence we can provide is that a high-ranking 异能人 stronghold is hidden in the forest, its exact location unknown, but it is almost certain to be in the north of the map. However, due to the vastness of the 异能人 base, six crucial locations in the entire jungle have been set up with outposts. You must eliminate them one by one before the outposts can raise an alarm, and then take down the entire 异能人 base. The mission deadline is two hours. Any questions?"
"No problem!"
"Good! Then now, I appoint Squad Leader Han Lang of the First Squad as the overall commander of this operation. Other squad members must obey orders. Once you enter the map, you will arrange your combat plans yourselves. Commander Liu and I will observe your entire operation on the display screen, and we hope to see your considerable strength!"
After Huang Yuhua finished speaking, he exchanged a glance with Liu Xiaoxiao, nodded to each other, and then strode into the adjacent observation room.
Soon,
The holographic projections of the entire training camp were activated. Before everyone was just a blank white wall and a glowing portal.
The six teams did not hesitate and stepped through the portal one after another.
Upon entering, the scene before them was completely transformed.
The training camp, which had been devoid of any obstructions, had now become a lush green forest. Tall trees blocked the piercing sunlight, making the entire group of thirty people appear particularly small.
Seeing this, Han Lang's brow furrowed.
This was also his first time participating in such a mission, and at this moment, he didn't know which part of the mission map the group had been teleported to.
Fortunately, before the mission began, Huang Yuhua had provided a basic map of the operational area, so he quickly gave the order.
"Brother Ma, quickly determine our location!"
Ma Long, having been a member of the special forces before, was naturally skilled in such wilderness combat missions. He quickly responded and instantly took out a precision positioning device the size of a book from his storage ring.
Soon, he looked at the surface of the positioning device and replied.
"We are currently at the southeastern edge of the map. Moving about thirty meters inward will bring us within the detection range of the 异能人 outposts. After discovering an outpost, we should be able to find the stronghold by heading north from the outpost as the origin. However, the problem is, we don't know the location of the outposts. If we enter rashly, we will inevitably alert the outpost guards!"
After hearing Ma Long's report, Han Lang's understanding of the current situation became clear. He pondered for a moment, then firmly commanded.
"According to the intelligence, there are a total of six outposts in the jungle. These six outposts are designed to test our squad-based combat capabilities. Therefore, pay attention, squad leaders. We will first advance about fifteen meters inward and search for the outposts in an arc within our line of sight. For each outpost discovered, leave one squad to carry out the mission, and the rest will continue searching outward until every squad finds its corresponding outpost to engage. After completing the mission, we will collectively charge into the 异能人 base to complete the final mission. Do you understand?"
Han Lang's mission allocation was not complicated, and everyone could basically understand it.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Han Lang reiterated.
"Our First Squad will go to the farthest outpost. Therefore, the time each squad arrives at the central 异能人 base will be different. So, everyone must remember. The First Squad will be the main attacking force for the final mission at the base. If you arrive early, maintain stealth and wait for everyone to assemble before launching a full assault. Also, one more reminder: this mission is a stealth operation, so until the decisive moment, you cannot activate divine sense detection to avoid alerting the enemy. Do you all understand this point?"
"Understood!"
Seeing that everyone had no questions, Han Lang began to assign tasks.
"Squads One, Two, and Three will search to the left, and Squads Four, Five, and Six will search to the right. Remember, we only have two hours for the entire mission! So, after finding the outposts, you must act swiftly!"
After hearing Han Lang's distribution, the squad leaders nodded one after another, then led their respective squads, advancing fifteen meters into the jungle according to the plan, spreading out to the left and right, and began to carry out their respective missions!
