Chapter 172: Psychological Tactics

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Many of the leaders in the command room expressed their disapproval of the red team’s captain this time.

Whether it was the charge or the defensive battle, these should be left to the soldiers to complete. As the captain, he should stay behind and control the situation.

Only when everyone in the team had a clear division of labor could they win a beautiful battle.

...

However, Wu Mo, who was sitting in the first row, did not think so.

He felt that this was not a big battle, and the surrounding battle area was less than 10 kilometers. Instead of sitting in the back and not being able to exert all their abilities, it was better to fight in the front and seek victory in the midst of danger.

After all, the red team was already in a disadvantageous position. If they continued to fight according to plan, they would definitely be defeated.

Under such circumstances, only by breaking conventional thinking could he turn the tide!

Of course, everyone’s ability to judge things was different. It was understandable that those people would think that the red team’s captain had failed his duty.

Right then, the monitor showed the red team’s captain, Shen Qing, crossing the mountain range and rushing toward team one’s direction.

Team two was carrying the ion cannons, and its members were also looking for a good direction.

At the highest peak of the Red Zone mountain range, two scouts were lying in the grass, looking in the direction of the Blue Zone with binoculars, ready to report coordinates and the situation at any time.

Simultaneously, the blue team was also on the move.

They planned to attack from the edge of the desert, cross dozens of meters of the desert area, enter the Red Zone, arrange for specialists to raid the camp in the Red Zone, and grab the resources or destroy them.

As long as this mission was completed, they would be able to win the mock battle.

After the team leader gave them this battle plan, all the members of the blue team agreed and immediately carried it out.

The seven members of team one walked through the jungle and arrived at the edge of the exercise area without anyone noticing.

He was ready to cross the 50-meter desert at any time.

At the same time, the scouts were also constantly observing the Red Zone, ready to bring important information to the frontline troops.

They communicated through walkie-talkies to ensure that everyone could be contacted at the first moment.

At this moment, a group of people from the blue team was already lying in ambush at the edge of the desert, ready to find an opportunity to cross the desert at any time.

The blue team members of team two who were pulling the ion cannons were also communicating with the scouts. They were ready to fire the cannons and cause the enemy to panic. Then, the members of team one would take advantage of the chaos to enter the Red Zone.

The few people guarding the campsite had also been communicating with the two teams.

In order to stabilize the battle.

After all, the blue team was in an advantageous position now. When the time came, those in the Red Zone would definitely feel the pressure and do something irrational. When that time came, they only needed to take advantage of the situation.

Just as the three parties were mediating, the sound of a cannon could suddenly be heard from the red team.

The ion cannon exploded in the blue team’s jungle area, instantly putting the members of the first team not far away on guard.

“What’s going on? Why is the red team firing their cannons in this situation? Aren’t they afraid of exposing their position?”

In team one, a burly leader with three camouflages on his face suddenly questioned the situation in a low voice.

“I don’t know. We’ve been following the route you told us and haven’t made any noise.”

The team members behind him immediately responded. The others also looked confused and dumbfounded. They had no idea why the red team, which had been hiding all this while, would dare to fire at them.

Were they not afraid that their cannoneers would predict the enemy’s position based on the source of the sound and counterattack?

No one knew why the cannon had been fired.

After all, the ion cannon also required energy to operate.

Each ion cannon could only fire up to 20 shots of ion energy.

Once it was used up, it would be no different from scrap metal in this situation.

Every one of them was carefully protected, for fear of being wasted.

Who would have thought that Team Red would fire the ion cannon without knowing the enemy’s position?

Their tactic had them completely dumbfounded.

On the other side, the members of Team Red’s team one were also looking at their leader, who was holding the ion cannon, in surprise.

“Captain, aren’t you just beating the grass and alerting the snake?!” a person in a camouflage suit beside him immediately asked.

They were already at a disadvantage, and if the ion cannons were destroyed, their chances of victory would become even slimmer.

“That’s right, Captain. How could you fire so rashly? They can’t be at the edge of the jungle. After all, even the least dangerous part of the desert is 50 meters away. If we rush over like this, at least three people will be eliminated.”

“You’re right, we should hide and see who is more patient.”

The team members were all very unhappy. The captain’s irrational move at this time was simply adding to their troubles.

But to Shen Qing’s ears, their words were completely unreasonable.

“Bullsh*t. What’s the point of hiding? We’ll hide until the last moment of the exercise. We have fewer people than them, and we’ll lose.”

He looked at the crowd with a cold gaze and said in a powerful voice, “What’s the point of worrying about this now? Don’t we have two ion cannons? Let’s just clean up the jungle on the other side. I don’t believe they can hide and not come out!”

Looking at Shen Qing’s vicious gaze, the members of the first group all took a deep breath.

The ion cannons were their most lethal weapons, and each of them only had 20 shots.

It would be such a waste if they were only used to force the others to reveal their positions.

Moreover, if all 40 cannonballs were fired and did not cause any effective damage to the blue team, would the follow-up not be useless?

They felt that Captain Shen Qing’s proposal was too outrageous.

On the battlefield, one should fight steadily and advance step by step, not use everything one had just to force the blue team to reveal their position.

“Captain, do you want to reconsider?” aslightly chubby soldier scratched his head and said subconsciously.

“Consider my a**. If we delay any longer, the blue team will definitely rush over. At that time, we won’t be able to fight them in close combat no matter how many of us are left,” Shen Qing said somewhat resentfully.

He felt that it was time to put down his foolish and traditional ideas. Instead of sticking to the old rules, it was better to innovate and fight.

“Then… that’s fine.”

The members of the first group could only agree. After all, Shen Qing was the captain of this exercise and they needed to obey orders unconditionally.

In terms of strength and military rank, in the entire team, no one could stand shoulder to shoulder with Captain Shen Qing.

“That’s more like it. It’s settled then. Take your binoculars and watch. Report to me if anything happens.

“Those still with two good legs, we’ll change locations after one round of shooting.”
