Chapter 299: Creating A “world Record”!
The Chinese Team has repeatedly set excellent records in professional subjects, shocking the Europe and America “hillbillies” with the posture of newcomers, forcing them to re-examine China.
Some appreciate due to the Chinese Team’s outstanding performance, while others are jealous because of the Chinese Team’s excellence.
They can’t win head-on.
So they play dirty tricks in the dark.
China Team Two, where Qi Huan, Wu Zhe and others are, had a referee secretly playing small tricks during the “through minefield” subject competition.
In the subject centered on clearing the minefield, they actually forgot to issue mine detectors.
The referee took China Team Two to the competition venue, “pretended” to forget not to issue mine detectors to China Team Two, and directly started timing with the stopwatch.
Wu Zhe and the other four immediately knew something was wrong and immediately appealed to the referee.
But the referee’s reply was that the competition had already started, and according to regulations, there was no way to pause midway. If China Team Two had any opinions, they could choose to appeal after the competition.
Anyone with slightly normal intelligence would know this answer was obviously playing tricks.
Deliberately making the Chinese Team lose!
Under the rules of a competition continuously conducted for four days and three nights, it is impossible to stop in the middle, let alone specially re-compete for a certain team.
If China Team Two really believed the referee’s words, the post-competition appeal result would inevitably be very unsatisfactory.
The organizers could casually make up a reason.
For example, this tests the competitors’ emergency ability. If there were no mine detector on a real battlefield, does that mean they couldn’t clear mines?
Just a few light words could shut down the Chinese Team speechless.
Even the best result would probably be passing China Team Two qualified, not deducting penalty slips at this stage, but losing the opportunity to compete for ranking.
Qi Huan guessed that someone was targeting the Chinese Team, so he didn’t continue arguing.
Instead, with his rich experience, he seized the time to think of emergency methods, using the hard power of Chinese soldiers to smash all unorthodox methods.
Temporarily found a few wooden sticks, each person made mine detectors by hand.
On the minefield over a hundred meters long and more than ten meters wide, with dozens of various landmines arranged, the entire China Team Two passed safely without stepping on any.
Using absolute hard power to slap the referee hard in the face.
Telling those playing tricks in the dark that Chinese soldiers fear no challenges and will use the hardest strength to completely subdue them.
China Team Two used strength to crush the referee’s conspiracy, once again raising our national prestige on foreign competition venues.
Shocking the petty villains with strength!
In the remaining subsequent competitions, the organizers’ referees all became “conscientious,” and no work errors occurred again.
After the professional competition subjects ended, the next were comprehensive competition subjects.
Time also arrived at dawn on the third day.
The competition entered the climax part.
It seemed heaven also knew the competition had entered white heat, wanting to add a bit more difficulty to this competition, making it more challenging for the competitors.
The first two days had clear good weather, but on the third day, the weather suddenly changed drastically.
Before dawn when the sky wasn’t bright yet, dark clouds began to spread in the sky, terrifying lightning and thunder continued, followed by torrential rain pouring down.
The competitors who had been exhausted for two full days and nights were drenched into drowned rats by the sudden heavy rain.
The rain was really too heavy, and the temperature dropped sharply as well.
The competitors’ clothes were all soaked, even wearing raincoats was useless, and under the temperature of only a few degrees, it was a challenge to stamina and willpower.
Especially since there were swamps everywhere here, with deeper accumulated water in heavy rain weather, making various accidents more likely.
However, this was a continuous competition, with no pause option. Not to mention raining—even if knives were falling, it would still proceed as usual.
The merciless heavy rain continued endlessly, and the mud pits on the ground became deeper and deeper.
Some national participating teams, for safety, began to slow down their steps, doing road exploration work as much as possible to prevent falling into swamps or slipping off cliffs.
Some representative teams valued human rights even more and even withdrew from the subsequent competition.
National honor and personal safety.
They chose the latter.
This choice cannot be defined as right or wrong. After all, on this land of Europe, national honor is sometimes very cheap—after all, they are used to surrendering with soft bones.
However, Chinese team members with excellent traditions since ancient times, where a man’s knees have gold beneath them.
Even if at this moment in the primeval forest, even if swamp mud pits swallow people at any time, even if cliffs and precipices lead to shattered bodies, even if poisonous insects and wild beasts are ferocious in the rain.
The more arduous and difficult the road ahead, the higher the warriors’ morale and the more spirited they charged forward.
As a competition mainly focused on infiltration reconnaissance, the “enemy situation reconnaissance” subject can be said to be a key subject of the Elbe Assault competition.
Its score accounts for nearly half of the competition part.
Participating teams are required to ascertain the enemy situation in a 4 square kilometer area within 24 hours, then draft an English reconnaissance report in the Von Yo format, and also plot an enemy situation key map.
Moreover, imaginary enemies will continuously pursue midway, delivering a fatal blow to competitors under the torrential rain.
According to competition rules.
Each participating team member has 10 penalty slips in their pocket. Each time caught by the simulated enemy, one must be handed over and corresponding points deducted. After handing over 10 penalty slips, it counts as “sacrifice.”
If 2 out of 4 members of a participating team sacrifice, the team’s qualification and results are canceled.
However, the Chinese Team was not afraid, not intimidated by difficulties, not defeated by double pressure, but instead fought more bravely under pressure.
The weather was certainly bad, the environment even worse.
But it could not overcome the strong willpower of Chinese soldiers!
The endless swamp mud pits on the marching road were conquered by the Chinese Team’s Chen Jun, Wu Zhe, Qi Huan and others, becoming their aid to success.
Wild grass everywhere up to waist or taller than people, jagged weeds that could tear clothes and pants if not careful, sharp thorns that could pierce skin through clothes.
None could stop the Chinese Team’s progress; instead, they were trampled flat one by one.
Various snakes often encountered, slithering from under feet, beside, or above; the primeval forest constantly echoed with chilling howls from wild boars, bears, wolves and other wild beasts. A slight carelessness could turn one into a beast’s meal.
None of these scared the Chinese team members; instead, it made their steps more steady and firm.
Team member Ba Te Er of China Team Two carried heavy weaponry and equipment on his back. His large build was not suitable for jungle crossing, enduring all kinds of hardships.
But even if his hands and feet were scraped bloody, with rainwater flushing and stimulating the wounds especially stinging, his firm steps never hesitated for a moment.
He always clenched his teeth and followed behind the team, never becoming a burden to his teammates.
Similarly, Qi Huan of China Team Two, as captain, bore even greater pressure. To attract enemy attention, he always dragged the enemies behind him everywhere, causing the enemies to fall for tricks again and again.
Winning enough time for teammates, escaping enemy pursuit and avoiding handing over penalty cards.
As for China Team One, the absolute main force, bearing the arduous mission of sprinting for champion, putting the greatest pressure on captain Chen Jun.
What he did surpassed Team Two captain Qi Huan, with nothing less.
In just two days, Chen Jun lost nearly ten jin, sufficient to show the immense pressure he bore at this moment and the many things he needed to consider.
As team members, Cheng Cai, Xu Sanduo and Wu Liu Yi could also feel captain Chen Jun’s pressure.
To help Chen Jun as much as possible, the only thing they could do was to fully exert their strength and strive not to drop the ball.
In the two days and nights of continuous competition, the three of them didn’t lose a single penalty slip, the best proof of their strength and effort.
Every member of the Chinese Team carried honor in their hearts, everyone giving their all.
The “enemy situation reconnaissance” lasting a full twenty-four hours also passed continuously in the Chinese Team’s persistence, soon ushering in the final stage.
Opponents from various Europe and America countries were all defeated by the harsh environment under the torrential rain, choosing to slow down or give up the competition.
But the Chinese Team conquered the environment, facing difficulties head-on with even faster speed.
The gap between both sides grew larger, and the Chinese Team’s results became more eye-catching.
When the “enemy situation reconnaissance” was completely over, the final results had absolutely no suspense—first and second were both taken by the Chinese Team.
The Chinese main team took first, the deputy team took second.
If in the previous individual competition assessments, other countries still had words to say forcefully about the Chinese Team taking first, feeling that individual competitions had no technicality and could be practiced out with enough time by piling up.
Then this twenty-four-hour comprehensive competition was enough to shut up all Europe and America national teams.
No matter how unwilling they were to accept, they had to honestly admit that this dark horse Chinese Team indeed had extraordinary strength.
But there’s a saying.
A tall tree attracts wind!
After the continuous 3 days and 3 nights competition passed, the results of China’s two participating teams amazingly topped the list, firmly occupying first and second.
And the most exaggerated was that after three days and three nights, three Europe and America national teams had been deducted points completely and eliminated. The remaining Europe and America national teams weren’t much better, with each team’s average penalty slips exceeding ten.
While China Team One and Team Two together had only one penalty card deducted.
One penalty card averaged over two Chinese teams meant only 5 cards per team. Ignoring the decimal, it was approximately no points lost.
This was a situation that had never occurred in the five consecutive editions of the competition; no country had achieved this level.
The Chinese Team taking this exaggerated battle record was equivalent to announcing to the whole world—
All of Europe and America is not as good as China!
Europe, as the birthplace of modern special operations, was crushed by the obscure suddenly emerging Chinese Team. This made the organizers completely unable to accept.
Especially the commander responsible for commanding and leading a thousand simulated enemies to pursue and intercept the participating teams.
He was unusually furious about this result.
The Chinese Team’s near-zero penalty points was equivalent to proclaiming to the world that his command ability was very poor, poor enough to almost become a joke.
Commanding over a thousand people to besiege just over a hundred people, and the opponent couldn’t counterattack or attack, yet failing to capture the Chinese Team alive even once—this result the commander couldn’t accept; even he himself felt it was embarrassing.
To salvage his lost face, make the Chinese Team stumble a few times, prove his command ability, and curb the Chinese Team’s hot momentum.
In this last daytime competition, the commander decided to personally supervise the battle.
He mobilized all simulated enemies and various advanced equipment to the area near the inspection control station of the last competition subject—”6 kilometer load-bearing armed cross-country.”
The goal of doing so was only one: to wipe out all Chinese Team members in one net.
Now only the Chinese Team hadn’t been annihilated yet. The commander’s target was not only China Team One, but to annihilate both Chinese teams.
Only then could he recover the lost face and wear it back on.
Otherwise, the entire Europe and America teams would lose face!
Under the commander’s arrangement of a large number of simulated enemies, at least over five hundred imaginary enemies, all targeted at the two Chinese teams.
The effect was immediate, soon yielding very good harvest.
Under the all-around search of several hundred imaginary enemies, China Team Two led by Qi Huan suffered first, chased by imaginary enemies into a flurry.
Even with the most experienced Qi Huan and the smartest Wu Zhe, the two together cooperated wholeheartedly, using all kinds of methods and means, finally preserving from annihilation and avoiding the four being wiped out.
But to avoid the annihilation outcome, during which the four had to disperse action.
Inevitably caught one after another!
The four were penalized points one after another!
Although half the force was dispatched against the Chinese Team, the remaining ten or so surviving Europe and America national teams bore the attack of the remaining half imaginary enemies.
Such a huge disparity between the two sounded indeed too fucking ridiculous.
The competition should be fair, but at this moment it was completely gone.
But the commander no longer cared; he must annihilate the Chinese Team once to preserve the face of Europe and America countries and the organizers.
China Team Two’s four members were penalized one after another, barely counting as one annihilation.
The imaginary enemy commander was greatly boosted in confidence!
In the command post, he happily boasted that the remaining China Team One would absolutely not escape his palm and would be annihilated by him in less than two hours.
Unfortunately, the imaginary enemy commander was happy too early; he didn’t know what a terrifying existence Chen Jun was.
Two hours of the commander’s boast passed in the blink of an eye. Not to mention annihilating China Team One, not even the shadow of China Team One was found.
China Team One captain Chen Jun and team members Wu Liu Yi, Xu Sanduo and Cheng Cai disappeared into thin air. All kinds of means exhausted, no trace could be found.
The imaginary enemy commander was so angry he jumped in rage, no longer caring about any face.
He actually transferred another full two hundred people from the Europe and America national teams’ side, all put into searching China Team One.
Plus the original imaginary enemies, China Team One’s opponents reached nearly five hundred.
Using five hundred people to catch a small team of eight, and knowing the opponent’s forward direction and route—this was unprecedented in global various competitions.
In a certain sense…
China Team One led by Chen Jun absolutely counted as creating a world record.
It’s just a pity no one awarded them; otherwise, with this unique world record alone, Chen Jun could easily get a first-class merit.
