The mission of the freshmen exercise was to take over the high ground before 5 o’clock in the evening. Whichever team to occupy first would win. Now the marching of the two teams was delayed by each other’s tactics. The maneuvering speed of the large forces was quite slow. The early rising sun slowly rose until 12 noon. At 2 o’clock, the clear sky suddenly darkened, and the clouds gradually gathered. It started to rain after half an hour.
“Go downhill; it’s all green moss; slow down.”
The blue team was ambushing the red team, holding their guns, slowly going down a relatively steep hillside. The hillside was sun-backed, with many rocks and overgrown, thick green moss.
The students in front of the blue team carefully dropped a rock to remind the comrades behind to be careful.
“Don’t just look at your feet when you walk, remember to pay attention to your surroundings, don’t let the red team counterattack.”
The blue team was equally cautious in maneuvering. The correspondent in charge of communications would report their latest developments to the blue team tent so that they could report back how far their distance was with the red team.
The master of the School of Computer tapped into the satellite system of the general military tent. Before the senior students found out, he intercepted the approximate location of the red team’s current movement. The blue Commander immediately deployed and ambushed the red team in advance.
However, they didn’t know that the target of the ambush was so happened to be the troop led by Ye Jian.
It was drizzling, not heavy rain. Although they put on their raincoat in time, their bodies were still soaked by the rain during the long march.
Ye Jian slowly bent over, her slender hand gently pushed aside a bush, a footprint on the ant’s nest was clearly visible, and it hadn’t been left long.
Following Ye Jian’s reminder, each group’s signal soldiers quickly learned that the blue team’s ambush was just ahead, and they immediately passed the news on to the other team members.
Under the drizzling rain, a group of young faces who had lived in the military academy for almost a year showed solemn expressions.
From the still innocent faces, it could be seen that they had begun to have the coldness that a soldier should have.
The blue team didn’t expect that they would be exposed by just one footprint.
In the general military tent, the video of Ye Jian noticed the footprint on the grass again appeared on the projection screen. Seeing her giving out commands calmly and deploying the powerful combat precisely, and also seeing her experienced observation, even the Brigade Commander was surprised.
He asked Political Commissar Yue, “Have Ye Jian participated in exercises before?” Why did she look like an experienced veteran?
The military academy did not know much regarding Ye Jian’s matter. Therefore, Political Commissar Yue could not answer the question. “No, she did not participate in any exercises according to her file.”
“That’s amazing. She has done every step, every move wonderfully. The blue team is in great advantage, but even they can’t be as good as her. I am looking forward to the exercise with the junior students the day after tomorrow.”
As long as the red team could win, they could see the ability between Ye Jian and the senior students in the next exercise the day after tomorrow.
Ahead, the blue team was a little confused. They were the ones ambushing the red team, but how were they surrounded by the red team now?
“Breakthrough the siege first, don’t get stuck with them!”
“This way! Get around them!”
“No, it’s blocked in front; we can’t get through!”
The blue team tent was in a panic. When the student leading the team saw a company coming from the red team, they knew they could not rush out, so they gritted their teeth and said, “If we can’t escape, then let’s fight them first! No matter what, we must fight at least!”
“Fifteen people, one each, we can kill fifteen of the red team members!”
The fight was no different from a desperate fight, but it was better than not doing anything and letting themselves be surrounded and disarmed.
