Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Chapter 1161 Did Li Kui run into Li Gui?

"Come and see!"

The lights were on in the military academy's operations research and command room at night.

A huge military topographic map was laid out on the table by Wang Guohuai.

Qin Feng stared at the towering mountains on the map, clearly taken aback, and looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

"The Taihang Mountains?"

"That's right, it's the Taihang Mountains!"

Wang Guohuai frankly stated, "The location for this confrontation exercise with the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences is around the Taihang Mountains."

Hao Zhengwei looked at Qin Feng and explained, "The headquarters' intention is to recreate the Taihang Mountain Campaign in the context of modern warfare. It is also a way to test whether the future grassroots command forces of the troops still possess the old traditions of the past."

The Taihang Mountains region is characterized by high mountains, dense forests, and extremely complex and varied terrain.

During the War of Resistance against Japan, our predecessors carried out flexible and mobile guerrilla warfare in the mountains and plains.

We must mobilize the masses, unite all anti-Japanese forces, thoroughly defeat the invading Japanese devils, and crush the bald head's offensive.

The movie "On the Taihang Mountains" is not only widely known, but students in junior and senior high schools are also organized to watch the film for free.

Qin Feng still vividly remembers the scenes at the end of the movie, when our soldiers ran out of ammunition and food and drew their broadswords to fight the Japanese soldiers hand-to-hand.

The Big Sword Team featured in the movie was based on the predecessor of the Steel Sword Company...

“Reenacting classic battles of the past using modern warfare methods is indeed very innovative.”

"Yes, even we didn't expect to be given such a topic this year."

"We must recreate classic battles and showcase the brilliance of our predecessors. We must win this exercise no matter what!"

Both were determined to win, and the military academy had long been conducting training in positional warfare, mountain warfare, and guerrilla tactics.

Many people believe that in the context of modern warfare, these ancient practices should have been discarded long ago.

But little do they know that the treasures left by our ancestors are timeless in any era.

Influenced by the Gulf War, many people believe that modern warfare is all about precision-guided aircraft and missiles bombing indiscriminately.

However, what they did not know was that the battle itself had certain limitations and could not be replicated in a superpower like Yan, which has a vast territory and an extremely complex terrain.

No matter how war goes, in the later stages it will return to its most primitive form, which is the fighting between people.

However, when encountering complex terrain with towering mountains like the Taihang Mountains, the difficulty of the battle will increase.

In such mountainous and densely forested conditions, the effectiveness of drones, tanks, artillery, and mechanized equipment is minimized, which is also the time when soldiers' combat experience and skills are most tested.

In other words, the time has come to test the old traditions of our army.

Wang Guohuai pointed to the map: "I plan to divide the troops into two columns, first seize these advantageous terrains, set up anti-aircraft guns in the dense forest, and then..."

As our general staff officer, Qin Feng would occasionally offer his ideas or opinions on adjusting the strategic deployment.

The goal is to achieve victory by completely annihilating the enemy's manpower with minimal casualties.

As a commander, his expertise lies in troop deployment and combat command.

His addition made the original battle plan more complete, and even the deployment of troops could be precise down to an artillery platoon or even an infantry squad.

The discussion lasted from 9 p.m. until 2 a.m., and even as it was nearing its end, we still felt a little unsatisfied.

"Alright, alright, it's getting late, it's getting late."

"Qin Feng is young and can keep up, but we two old folks are really struggling to keep up."

"For now, let's proceed with these two plans. We can discuss the specific details tomorrow after we've had a good night's sleep. There's no rush."

Seeing the two leaders looking exhausted, Qin Feng nodded, but instead of going back to rest, he continued to study the military map carefully.

He is a perfectionist who strives to do his best, whether it is individual combat or commanding a large force.

Especially when serving as a commander, one must not be complacent or careless.

Because behind the casualty figures reported during the exercise were countless families torn apart.

As a commander, Qin Feng must do his utmost to achieve the greatest victory with the least effort, so as to be worthy of the martyrs who "sacrificed" in the battle.

Seemingly thinking of some details, Qin Feng prepared to take out his phone to review the movie "On the Taihang Mountains" from back then, to see if he could find any inspiration from it.

As soon as I turned on my phone, I received another friend request.

It's still the same AAAA-rated building materials expert, Brother Wang.

Qin Feng frowned and clicked "reject" again.

But then another friend request came in, this time with an additional message: blind date.

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, then remembered the promise he had made to Hou Haifeng, so he clicked "agree".

But the smug panda emoji with sunglasses and a cigarette in its mouth, along with the nickname "Building Materials King," were really hard for him to understand.

Are young people these days so abstract?

"Hello."

"Hello."

"What time is it?"

"3 PM, Blue Whale Cafe on xx Road."

"Ah."

The conversation was extremely perfunctory and simplistic, just like that of most men and women on blind dates these days.

It was supposed to be a blind date to introduce people, but it felt more like completing a task.

After adding Green Bubble and exchanging a brief greeting, the other person seemed to have died in your friend list, and there was no further contact.

We don't really know each other, we're not even friends, and we don't even like each other's posts on social media.

........

The next afternoon, Qin Feng changed into a simple set of clothes and prepared to go out.

Zhuang Ping was still driving, and he habitually asked where they were going.

"Blue Whale Cafe, xx Road".

"Sir, are you going to see a friend? Would you like to buy something on the way?"

"No, I'm just going on a blind date."

With a screech, the car hadn't gone far when Zhuang Ping slammed on the brakes.

As if he had seen a ghost, he turned his head to look at Qin Feng in the passenger seat.

"Commander, are you... are you serious?"

"what happened?"

"You, you, with your qualifications, you still want to go on blind dates?"

"I owe someone a favor, and I can't change that once I've agreed."

Even so, Zhuang Ping was still somewhat at a loss for words.

In his eyes, those two words should not be associated with Qin Feng at all.

Although I didn't understand it, I was still deeply shocked and amazed.

Zhuang Ping restarted the car and asked awkwardly, "So, should we find a florist and buy a bouquet of flowers to make a good impression on the girl?"

Qin Feng shook his head: "There's no need for that. We'll just chat for a bit and then I'll leave."

Soon, the car arrived at the Blue Whale Cafe. Qin Feng got out of the car, and Zhuang Ping was waiting by the roadside.

But curiosity still drove him to keep looking in that direction, as if he wanted to see what kind of looks the female guest who was going on a blind date with Qin Feng was.

Unfortunately, the other party didn't seem to have arrived yet, so Qin Feng went inside and found a seat by the window.

I ordered two coffees, then took out my phone, put on my headphones, and prepared to rewatch the old movie "On the Taihang Mountains".

Just as he was about to put on his headphones, he suddenly heard someone behind him talking confidently about military matters.

“We are a special forces unit and cannot reveal our identities to outsiders, but you can rest assured about my identity.”

"Furthermore, the project I'm talking about is completely trustworthy. It's backed by the military, supervised by the government, and guaranteed by the United Nations..."

Qin Feng turned his head and, through the wrought iron railing, saw a portly, balding man wearing a poorly made, ill-fitting military uniform with the rank of senior colonel bearing two bars and four stars on his shoulders, chatting animatedly with a plump woman opposite him.

The most ridiculous thing is that there was a bodyguard with the rank of captain standing right next to him...
