Letting Tang Wenkai and Xu Er serve as members of the front guidance group is what Captain Xu Weiguo means.

Traveling in azimuth throughout the subject is the most testing of the cooperation between the whole class members.

Therefore, putting Tang Wenkai and Xu Er in this group to guide Class 1 to complete the subject of "marching in azimuth" today is the best way to test whether the two of them are qualified to stay in Class 1 and become official team members.

Now, Tang Wenkai and Xu Er must get through this on their own.

Even solemnity can't help favoritism.

The reason is very simple, this overseas competition involves the reputation of a real PLA, not just the personal honor of your 4th division.

Tang Wenkai or Xu Er. If they really can't reach the required level, they can't be qualified!

Tang Wenkaiping held the compass, divided it through the compass above, found the correct angle, and then waved his hand: "Follow me!" ”

The guide group is in the front, the step counting group is in the back, and the rear group is behind.

As the solemn position of the squad leader, he is responsible for the overall situation.

Although there is usually this kind of training, today this area is an unfamiliar area, and there is no relevant training here.

The training base of the teaching brigade is in the wilderness of the suburbs, full of woodlands and mountains unique to the south, and it is really easy to find a place where everyone has not practiced.

At present, all the team members only have the target information of the eight target points, as well as the azimuth information, and the rest are unknown.

To finally find the so-called "Route 2" ambush site, it is necessary to find the eight points in order to complete.

Like the rush that I found, the straight-line distance is said to be 15 kilometers, but it is actually more than that.

Now the target distance given by the examiner is 10 kilometers, and when you actually walk it, there will be rivers, mountains, valley bottoms, and even swamps like in the morning.

What's even more devastating is that from the beginning of breakfast in the morning to now, everyone has not rested for a moment.

Fortunately, there is no restriction on drinking water in this assessment subject, and before the start of each small subject, there is enough mineral water in the car to let the team members drink as they please.

Under normal circumstances, everyone will choose to try to get mineral water in the car to replenish the water after the end of one subject and before the start of another subject.

There is also the option of receiving some food.

Because in the wild, for ease of use, the food is generally bread and chocolate, and some energy bars will also be arranged for everyone to replenish their strength.

But there's so much time, you can't stop and sit there and enjoy the time like a petty bourgeois afternoon tea.

Each member of the team can only eat and drink while walking.

The water in the kettle, try not to touch it, it is light salt water, it is really not good to drink a little more.

No one likes to carry water on their bodies.

Now everyone's physical strength is actually hovering on the edge of the limit, when a person has carried out all kinds of fancy armed attacks from the morning, and has carried out various obstacle subject assessments, as well as shooting, demining, and plane landing, no one wants to add an extra gram of weight to his body.

Not a single gram!

So, each group takes turns eating—three people in the front guide group, leaving two to guide the way, and one person to fill their stomachs for five minutes.

To travel in azimuth, the guide must always hold the compass in his hand, observe the direction and angle at all times, and correct the deviation at any time.

Otherwise, as long as it goes out a little bit, the greater the distance and the farther the deviation, the detachment will not be better at all than the correct goal.

And the pedometer group that followed the guide group from the moment they left the starting point, everyone had a small pocket pedometer in their hands, which was the size of a ZIPP lighter.

The distance traveled by the entire detachment was actually "guessed" by the pedometer.

How to guess?

Of course, I guessed by the queue order!

Do you know what are the benefits of PLA training walking in unison?

ACCORDING TO THE QUEUE ORDER, THE SOLDIERS WALKED IN UNISON, AND THE DISTANCE OF EACH STEP WAS 75CM.

When this kind of pace forms a habit, the soldier unconsciously takes almost every step at this distance, and the difference is not too big.

THE NUMBER OF STEPS ON THE PEDOMETER IS MULTIPLIED BY 75CM, AND THE RESULTING DISTANCE IS THE NUMBER OF DISTANCES TRAVELED BY THE ENTIRE RECONNAISSANCE DETACHMENT.

Doesn't that sound like fun?

No!

It's not fucking fun at all!

Because you have to make sure that every step you take is as good as possible in line with the queue regulations, if you are in a large playground, it is not difficult to walk out of each 75cm step.

But it's not easy in the wild.

There may be rocks in front of you, ridges, puddles, all sorts of obstacles, and you have to get around them.

Once you get around, the distance of your steps will change.

If it changes, the overall distance calculation will be inaccurate.

That's why you need four pedometers.

When the distance is reached, the pedometer group should tell the guide group in time to tell everyone that the distance has arrived, and then the team members begin to look around to see if there is a target.

It sounds like a primitive way to travel in the wilderness, even a bit stupid.

But every member of the special forces has to undergo all kinds of military training in all kinds of harsh natural conditions, and on the battlefield, the gadgets and electronic devices fail - this is not sensational.

No matter how advanced the communication equipment or positioning instruments are, there are often various signal losses in the deep mountains and old forests, such as mountains, terrain, tree canopies, etc., which will have a serious impact on the device signal.

All kinds of heat, explosions, and shrapnel on the battlefield can also cause damage to your equipment.

Therefore, many special forces never give up training and mastering the most primitive equipment, just as even if the guns can be automatically corrected and aimed even in the current situation, you still have to train the marksmanship in the case of mechanical sights.

Whether it's a guide or a pedometer, it's a technical job.

The time is only 4 hours, a total of 240 minutes, and there are eight target points, which means that the time to find each target point is only 30 minutes.

From the beginning, Tang Wenkai seemed a little anxious.

He walked a little fast.

Because I had just entered the edge of the forest, the road was not difficult to follow at first.

There are some camphor trees all around, and the grass on the ground is not high, so you have to travel according to the established angle, and there are not many obstacles.

An azimuth is marching, of course, the flatter the terrain, the better, because there is no shelter, and it is to stride forward directly with a compass.

Tang Wenkai was a little excited, and his speed kept accelerating.

Soon, he was already in front of everyone, pulling away the large army for more than thirty meters.

"Control the speed!"

Seeing that the formation was a little chaotic, he couldn't help but remind Tang Wenkai.

"Slow down!"

Sometimes, speed is not enough.

This kind of delicate subject is better to be stable.

If you go in the wrong direction, turning back is actually a waste of time.

"The terrain here is gentle, so you can walk faster."

Tang Wenkai stopped and wanted to explain solemnly and loudly: "We have to try to find No. 1 as soon as possible." ”

Finding the first point when the terrain is good means saving more time for the next point.

No one knows if there will be any complications when going to point 2.

It's not unreasonable to think so.

Since Tang Wenkai insisted, Zhuang Zheng could only let him do so.

He must also be responsible for Tang Wenkai, the entire team, and this competition abroad.

If Tang Wenkai and other team members do not cooperate well, or if there is a problem with the guidance, then he is really not suitable to stay in Class 1 and is not suitable to represent the country.

Suddenly, Tang Wenkai, who had been walking in the front, stopped.

"There's a ditch!"

He turned back and issued a warning.

Soon, everyone gathered to the river.

A solemn look shows that the ditch is more than two meters wide and the water is not deep.

As a matter of principle, try not to detour.

"Just pass!"

The order was solemnly given.

After all, if you go around, you don't know how far you have to go around.

Second, each time you go around an obstacle, the pedometer group and the guide group have to make a correction.

Because after the detour, if the number of steps is also counted, the distance will be incorrect.

Therefore, it is generally necessary to pause the pedometer when detouring.

After everyone has bypassed the obstacle and guided the group back to the correct position, the pedometer adds the actual straight-line distance of the obstacle to the pedometer, and then starts to recalculate the number of steps.

Everyone had to plop down the river and wade through the water.

Everyone has long been accustomed to this kind of training, unless it is really impossible to get around or will make the team members consume too much physical strength and pay too much cost, affecting the entire operation time, the solemnity of the squad leader will let the detachment detour.

Otherwise, no one wants to do that.

Each time you make a detour, you have a better chance of making a mistake.
