Azimuth is one of the courses in topography and, of course, a compulsory course for scouts.

Even now that science and technology are developed, even places like amphibious reconnaissance battalions use the Beidou-2 locator, as a special unit, training must always be based on the most brutal and worst conditions to carry out combat missions.

Don't look at the current special forces, in fact, during World War II, the Allies also had a lot of special forces behind enemy lines, and those people were actually the early prototypes of the special forces, when it comes to equipment, maybe they are not as good as the current special forces, but when it comes to combat effectiveness, they are not inferior at all.

Usually they are thrown behind enemy lines in great depth, and they are usually faced with all kinds of terrible weather conditions, such as ice and snow or yellow sand, and they cannot use the map at all.

In such a desperate situation, the members of these special forces often only need a compass, according to the approximate terrain and distance, and then rely on themselves to find the target and carry out the mission, and then rely on themselves to retreat.

That's the proper awesome.

Marching in azimuth is one such subject that specializes in training members of special forces in finding targets.

What is Azimuth? It is the horizontal angle from the northward direction of a certain point to the target direction line, which is calculated from the true meridian as the 'true azimuth', from the magnetic meridian as the 'magnetic azimuth', and from the coordinate longitudinal line as the 'coordinate azimuth'.

The so-called azimuth travel refers to the method of traveling by selecting a route on the topographic map and using a north arrow to maintain the correct direction of travel according to the magnetic azimuth and distance of each turning point measured on the map, which is an auxiliary method of traveling by using the ground number.

It is usually used on terrain such as deserts, grasslands, and mountain woodlands where there is a lack of bearings, or at night, or when traveling in adverse weather conditions such as dense fog and heavy snowstorms.

In the most popular way, when you don't have a map, or the map fails, you just need to find the right direction, and know the distance between yourself and the target, and then calculate the distance while walking according to the direction, and when you walk at the same distance, you can theoretically see the target you are looking for.

However, this thing sounds simple, but it is not easy to do.

Because traveling in azimuth is only theoretically feasible, in reality, there may be various obstacles in the place where you want to pass in a straight line, rivers, cliffs, mountains, swamps, etc.

Sometimes, you have to take a detour.

And sometimes, in the process of detouring, it will also cause your direction angle to deviate, which needs to be corrected in time, otherwise it will be "a small difference, a thousand miles wrong".

Solemnity is no stranger to this kind of training.

In the past, he used to conduct field training in the Red Arrow Brigade, and usually Han Zixuan would integrate this torture training method into the simulation mission every once in a while.

For example, if you want to attack an enemy missile warehouse, let all the team members not directly enter the vicinity of the warehouse to attack, but simulate airdropping you into the mountains and forests more than ten kilometers away, and tell you that the positioning system is covered by deep forests and tree canopies, and the signal is extremely unstable, and you need to use the azimuth travel mode to rush to the target within the specified time, and launch an attack, complete the task and retreat.

It is not difficult for Zhuang Zheng, so for Tang Wenkai, it is not difficult.

After all, it's an officer, and as the old saying goes, you eat more salt than you eat rice.

The soldier is not professionally inferior to the officer, but in experience.

Most of the officers have been soldiers for many years, and ordinary compulsory soldiers cannot be compared at all.

So most of the awesome soldiers exist among the non-commissioned officers.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as Xu Er, who is a martial arts champion at home, and of course he can fight better than ordinary non-commissioned officers when he comes to be a soldier, which is a special case.

That afternoon, Tang Wenkai took the test one after another, and together with the soldiers, he accepted the same standard.

It's four o'clock. At the end of all assessments, in order to be fair and open, it is scored on the spot and announced on the spot.

The assessment team and the support personnel went to the battalion headquarters to close the door and calculate behind closed doors, and the results were announced an hour later.

A total of more than 200 people participated in the assessment, and only 10 of them were selected in the end.

The big guys were hiding in the shade on the edge of the training ground.

The leaders of each regiment who led the team were also very nervous, after all, as long as there was one person, it meant that the training in their regiment was good.

However, we all know that most of the people who participated in the selection this time were members of the 1st Company of the reconnaissance battalion, and they were all soldiers who had been solemnly trained.

Today, everyone has seen the solemn level, how can the people he brought out be too bad?

The quota of ten people is over, and I'm afraid it's all from his reconnaissance battalion.

Tang Wenkai was almost exhausted and collapsed, and lay directly on the lawn.

He solemnly asked him how he did in the afternoon.

Tang Wenkai said that it was okay, at least he was more satisfied with the level, and as for whether he could be selected, he couldn't say.

In fact, he felt that he was playing.

Although he did not excel in the three events of Hunter's Steeple, 10km Armed Cross Country and 5km Swimming, he did very well in the other six events at noon and afternoon.

But after all, so many people are running, and they don't all know what other people's results are, and in the end, the assessment team in the division has to comprehensively calculate the results to have the final answer.

There were quite a lot of people in the assessment team, and the calculation speed was also fast, but it was still half an hour longer than the original time, and only then did it come out of the conference room of the battalion headquarters.

"The assessment team is out!"

One of the soldiers sitting in the shade of the tree shouted, and all of them craned their necks to look at the camp headquarters like frightened ducks in the farm.

Beep –

The whistle blew.

"The cadres and soldiers who participated in the selection came to gather at the entrance of the battalion department!"

The leader of the assessment team was Zhou Ziyan, the head of the reconnaissance section of the division, and after all the people stood in front of him, Zhou Ziyan raised the report card in his hand.

"The results are out, the list of 10 personnel who have entered the training team to participate in the selection are in my hands, I read it once, and then I will send a copy of the results to each participating unit, and post a copy in the battalion department, and if there are any objections to the results, you can reflect them to me."

Then spread out the list and read out the list of selected members one by one: "The names read below are the selected personnel, after you go back, immediately sort out your personal belongings and clothes, and there will be a car to send you to the group army teaching brigade at nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow." The first place in the selected personnel, the acting company commander of the 1st company of the divisional reconnaissance battalion, solemn! ”

"Here!" Solemnly stood upright and shouted.

The solemn selection was expected by everyone and deserved.

"Second place, Niu Shilin!"

"Here!"

Niu Shilin is a veteran with the strongest comprehensive quality in the 1st Company, and it is not surprising that he was selected.

"Wang Haitao!"

"Here!"

Wang Haitao is the commander of the 3rd platoon of the 2nd Company of the reconnaissance battalion, and currently ranks second lieutenant.

In the entire reconnaissance battalion, if it is said that the most military expert among the second lieutenants is actually not Wang Haitao, but Han Xiaobei, Wang Haitao can only rank second at best.

It's just that Han Xiaobei didn't sign up for the selection.

For this matter, Zhuang Zheng also asked Han bean sprouts.

Han Douya said: "Company commander, you will definitely be shortlisted, I know this, if I am also shortlisted, if I really go abroad in the end, we will go for half a year, it is already the end of the year, the veterans will be discharged, and the recruits will still enlist, and someone must take them." ”

Solemnly listened to it, and his heart was moved.

Han Bean Sprouts, if you want to describe him as indifferent to fame and fortune, he is really a little more, yes.

Zhuang Zhuang never expected that he had brought so many soldiers in Lao Ba Company back then, and the most successful in the end was Han Dou Sprout.

Han bean sprouts back then is a completely different person from now.

However, he had to admit that what Han Douya said was the truth.

The discharge of veterans and the training of new recruits are both key events at the end of each year and the beginning of the year, and they have a bearing on the development of the company in the coming year.

"Otherwise, you go, I won't go." Solemnly said: "I have already been abroad, and this opportunity is more useful to you." ”

"What's the use?" Han Xiaobei said: "Meritorious? Promotion? Come on, I joined the army because I wanted to, I didn't need it, it didn't work for me. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "Company commander, you are different from me, even if I go, I may not be able to survive to the end, think about it, the special forces who participated in the final training selection are the special forces of the two regions, including the Red Arrow Brigade where you used to be, can I enter and say two, but if I survive until the end and am eliminated, and I am delayed for five months, and I don't make it, wouldn't it be worse?" I'm not humble, but I weigh the pros and cons, and since I'm not sure that I'll survive to the end, I won't toss. ”

That sounds like there is some truth to that, too.

Zhuang Zhuang couldn't be sure if Han Dou Sprouts was to comfort himself or if he really didn't participate in the selection because of what he had just had.

In short, at least 1 company has Han Xiaobei here, and he won't pull down the training or anything.

"Xu Er!"

"Here!" Xu Er jumped up in the team and almost went crazy!

Before, he most wanted to participate in the martial arts competition to make a meritorious service.

For the sake of military merit, he fought with Diao Ke and them before.

This time, luck finally came to you.

"I'm going to have a treat tonight, eat chicken legs with soda, and go to the shop!" He couldn't hold back the excitement, didn't care about the queue discipline at all, and whispered to invite his comrades-in-arms to go and eat together after training at night.

You must know that the chicken legs in the small shop of the reconnaissance camp are considered high-end food, and they sell for 4 yuan each.

"Aolle!"

"Here!" The voice of the Mongolian soldier Ao Le was as loud as a bell.

"Yo! Lao Ao was also chosen? ”

"He's in good shape!"

"Also to ......"

Many soldiers who did not participate in the selection, but onlookers, began to talk about it.

"I don't think I have called the name of the battalion commander yet......"

"yes, will you lose the election?"

"Possibly, the battalion commander's physical subjects...... Tsk, I can outrun him anyway. ”

"Why do you want to die? Let the battalion commander hear, you're finished! ”

"I'm not talking nonsense, battalion commander...... It's really ...... bad."

"Not necessarily, I stood next to the examiner in the afternoon and took a look, and the battalion commander scored very high in many reconnaissance subjects, only a little worse than Commander Zhuang."

"Li Dazhuang!"

"Here!"

This time, the person who was named was actually a senior soldier of the 1st Regiment Armed Investigation Platoon below.

His selection was equally unexpected.

"The police and reconnaissance company in the regiment below seems to have capable people."

"What, his grades seem to be average, not particularly top-notch, I guess I went to accompany the prince to study and go abroad? No chance. ”

"He's different, he's my fellow!"

Someone knew Li Dazhuang and immediately complained about him.

"He's my fellow ......"

"Of course you speak for him, fellow."

"Of course not, Da Zhuang has special talents, he is a genius of special driving! The 1 regiment said that driving reconnaissance vehicles and armored vehicles, no one could compare with him. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

"Didn't you go to see the special driving in the afternoon? His results are the same as Chen Zheng, a special driving master of our battalion 2nd Company! ”

"Chen Zheng?"

Hearing this name, the other party seemed to believe it.

Chen Zheng is a recognized special driving expert in the reconnaissance battalion, and he is a non-commissioned officer who has just completed five years this year.

Soon, Zhou Ziyan, the head of the reconnaissance section, was already eight years old.

Now, only two names have not been pronounced.

Battalion commander Tang Wenkai stood at the head of the first row of the team, and his heart was sinking little by little.

Could it be that the total score can't be in the top ten?

It's a shame......

Alas, I have done my best and have a clear conscience, but I really can't do it, and that's also a matter of my own ability......

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Age, it's a damn thing. The prime time of being a soldier has passed, and there is really no comparison with these young people in their twenties.

A feeling of loneliness suddenly lingered in my heart.

"Pan Weiguo!"

"Here!"

This time, it was a non-commissioned officer from the armed reconnaissance platoon of the 2nd Regiment Police Reconnaissance Company.

This is already the ninth.

Tang Wenkai felt that his eyes darkened.

Finished......

Zhuang solemnly turned his head quietly and glanced at his battalion commander.

If you really can't choose it, you have to comfort Tang Wenkai later.

The arrogance of an officer is quite uncomfortable here.

"Tang Wenkai!"

Suddenly, Zhou Ziyan's eyes burned towards the leading position.

Tang Wenkai didn't react at first.

Zhuang Yan quickly touched him with his elbow.

"Tang Wenkai!"

Zhou Ziyan read it for the second time.

Tang Wenkai woke up like a dream, and his whole body was slightly shocked, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

The onlookers were in an uproar.

"Holy! The last one was chosen! ”

"The battalion commander is awesome!"

"Hey! It's useless, the last one is selected, and then I have to participate in the selection in the group army, there are people from the special forces at the military region level, I think there is hope for the company commander Zhuang, and I am not optimistic about the others, after all, there are only 12 people in the end. ”

"Here!" Tang Wenkai was stunned for a short time, but he immediately answered.

After the disbandment, he solemnly stretched out his hand and shook Tang Wenkai heavily: "Battalion commander, congratulations!" ”

Tang Wenkai was still standing at a loss, and suddenly, he saw the people of the assessment team pasting their report cards on the wall at the door of the battalion headquarters, so he rushed over.

Lying on the report card, he found his name in the tenth place - Tang Wenkai.

In black and white, he breathed a sigh of relief.
