After obtaining the nameplate for the "Lancet Glarent" in the battle, Weiss made a quick decision and led the 1st team to quickly withdraw from the coal-adding and water replenishment station and escape into the woods in the southwest.

After the raiders evacuated, the coal-gathering water station finally sounded a shrill alarm. After about half an hour, a flying warship that was nearly twice as large as a second-level patrol ship flew from the east, arrived murderously above the coal-gathering water station, hovering in the air a hundred meters above the ground. In less than five minutes, more than 30 land soldiers landed on the ground from downhill ropes and hanging frames, and joined forces with the army soldiers who were originally stationed here to form a number of search teams, and rushed into the woods with fierce momentum...

When the enemy's first wave of joint air-ground search operations were in full swing, Weiss's team had stopped moving and lurked in the dense forest about 20 miles from the coal-gathering supply station. The group of cadets from the top Army academies of the Ulster Free Federation began to perform what they had learned on weekdays and built a hidden ambush zone based on the terrain.

On the east side of this ambush area, Weiss and Nicholas both squatted on the trunk three or four meters above the ground. In the sight, the searchlight beams of the enemy's flying battleship were wandering above the woods, and in the depths of the lush woods, several light spots were vaguely shaking left and right, which were the flashlights of the enemy's search team.

"Are you here... how many people are there?" Nichola asked in a low voice.

Weiss has already counted: "Four!"

"Four?" Nicholas followed Weiss's appearance and squinted his eyes and frowned. However, in such a visual environment, he could not make a judgment on whether the enemy was single digits, double digits, or triple digits.

Although Nicholas did not ask, Weiss heard the question he wanted to ask from his tone, so he grinned, "Uh... this is a gifted ability that cannot be taught or copied, so there is no need to remember it."

"Okay! Do I need me to go back and convey the battle order?"

"Of course! Let me tell you that after the action begins, the speed must be fast. You must rush up and seize the "enemy's weapons. You must never let them use signal flares and fireworks sticks! If you have no choice, you can use fists and butt stocks. If someone on the other side is injured, I will bear the responsibility! Do you understand?" Weiss said.

"Of course!" Nikola climbed down the tree quickly and disappeared into the darkness.

Weiss narrowed his eyes and looked at the northeast. It has to be said that in the military field, especially on the battlefield, the "enemy and self-identification system" can play an active role in various harsh environments. Its significance is no less than that of radars on the historical stage this time. If it can be popularized, even if one battalion is equipped with only one, it can pose an overwhelming technical advantage to the enemy!

Unfortunately, with the biological and electronic information technology of this era, even if you have a century, you may not be able to master this long-term military technology. In other words, your unique skill can enable you to reach an unexpected height in the military, and can also bring unthinkable benefits to the army and country you serve, and even become an existence that dominates the outcome of the war!

Seeing the enemy search team getting closer, Weiss also climbed down the tree lightly, slowly retreating to his ambush circle with the opponent's rhythm...

Twenty minutes later, 14 soldiers were pressed to the ground by the students of the Baston Student Group. They resisted, struggled, and shouted. One of them even lit the fireworks signal rod, but in a flash, a student snatched it and inserted it into the wet soil.

In order to prevent these soldiers from attracting warships cruising above the woods, the students blocked their mouths with prepared socks. Although this could prevent them from making noises, they caused their strong dissatisfaction. Seeing this, Weiss had to ask the students to tie them up in pairs, back to back, hand over their weapons and supplies, and let them leave on their own - in their condition, it would take at least four or five hours to return to the coal-adding and watering station from here, and they would inevitably stumbling and suffer some trouble on the way.

Weiss gathered the commanders of the team together: "Okay, everyone, don't be happy. We did this, basically offending our opponents completely. Before the end of this exercise, we should not fall into their hands, otherwise... you should know the consequences. Now, we have to seize the time to evacuate, and change the route, first go north and then west, and try to jump out of their search area before dawn, which means that we must keep rushing for the next few hours. Let everyone streamline their luggage, leaving only 12 empty packs of ammunition and 3 live ammunition, 6 field rations, and other items, including marching tents, tarps, camouflage cloth, sleeping bags, marching blankets, etc., only two people need to share one, and all the extra ones will be abandoned on the spot. Do you understand?"

After hearing Weiss' order, the commanders of the team were very surprised. They said in a verbal manner that these marching equipment were distributed according to people and needed to be counted and handed over after the exercise. If there is any loss, the individual needs to "pay" at the price.

As the saying goes, those who accomplish great things are not limited to trivial matters. If they don’t even have this responsibility and go to the battlefield in the future, how can they deal with vicious and cruel enemies? Weiss was a little annoyed and said sternly: "During the exercise, if the equipment and objects discarded by this team cannot be retrieved at the end of the exercise, I will bear all the compensation required!"

The commanders of the squad suddenly became silent.

Weiss continued: "If there are other punishments, I will also bear it! Now, everyone can act with confidence, right?"

Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, Nikola said, "If there is a problem that the captain cannot solve, I will come forward to explain at that time."

If we can clear our responsibilities, the commanders of the team no longer struggle and make arrangements according to Weiss's request.

After the commanders of the team dispersed, Weiss put his hands on his hips and sighed: "If it weren't for this exercise, I wouldn't have found that there were so many problems within the Federal Army. The prospects were really not optimistic!"

At this moment, Nicholas was alone beside him, so these words were naturally spoken for him.

Nicholas sighed, "Ah... these are just the tip of the iceberg! Now, you know why many senior figures are deeply worried about the military threat of the Norman Empire!"

The advantages and disadvantages of authoritarian empires and democratic countries are reflected in a chess strategy game called "Iron Ambition". The weakness of the military empire lies in the inefficient administrative and economic efficiency, but the military system has certain advantages in stimulating the combat effectiveness of officers and soldiers. The "weakness" of democratic countries is that they are not wary in both national policies and military and civilian mentality, so they are relatively less prepared for war. They will suffer a loss in the early stage of the war, but as long as they withstand the opponent's offensive, they can stimulate greater and stronger war potential through national mobilization.

Thinking of this, Weiss did not sigh or complain about the world, but instead found a big tree nearby and climbed to a high place to observe the positions and directions of the enemy's search teams, so as to find a route that could calmly avoid the opponent.

Five minutes later, the students finished the simple installation and piled up the remaining equipment and supplies together with weapons and ammunition collected from the "enemy". They neither covered nor disguised them, and threw a pile directly under the tree, and then quickly escaped with Weiss' guidance.

At this moment, on the flagship of the Ulster Free Federation Army's first fleet, Colonel Mel Camerent, the deputy chief of staff of the fleet on duty, had already obtained a report on the "Lancet Glarent" fighting in the exercise. After reading the report, his first reaction was surprise, because there had been no case of infantry sneak attacks on warships in several years. It was not that the infantry troops did not have this wisdom and ability, but based on mutual understanding and cooperation with each other. As long as it was on the exercise field, the aviation troops would not kill the army, and the army troops would not lose face. Everyone worked together to present a wonderful battle to the top military and political leaders from time to time. In the end, everyone was happy and promoted...

In addition to being surprised, Colonel Camerent, who had a mature face, couldn't help but frown, and he muttered: "Is the Baston Student Group? A group of self-righteous young birds, who feel that he can do everything by learning some tactics in class? He feels that he can have a bright future if he has a sharp performance in the exercise? It's so childish! It's so childish!"

After a while, General Qiao Sen, the chief of staff of the fleet, came to the bridge with sleepy eyes: "What's the big deal to wake me up with this point?"

Colonel Camerent handed over the report: "Sorry, General, this matter is small, but it is really a bit tricky!"

General Qiao Sen, with a handsome face and a stern figure, quickly glanced at him: "Oh? A group of student soldiers killed one of our second-level patrol ships? It's interesting!"

"I just asked, there is no problem with the process and the application of exercise rules. Moreover, the nameplate of the battleship of the patrol ship has been handed over to the commanders of the student soldiers. Well... His surname is Klumber Heisen, and he comes from a gun-making family in the Federal State of Lorraine, and has something to do with the Grumman Group." The colonel introduced respectfully.

General Qiaosen glanced at the deputy position next to him who was nearly ten years older than him, and replied lukewarmly: "Klumber Heisen? Oh, I remembered that it was a family that specializes in the manufacture of advanced shotguns and meritorious rifles. Even if it was related to the Grumman Group, it was just a small character that was not worth mentioning, a young man who couldn't figure out the situation!"

"The question is...what should we do now? Report the battle situation report to the exercise headquarters truthfully?"

General Qiao Sen thought about it and asked back, "What if it is?"

Colonel Camerent seemed to be stopped and lowered his eyes and did not answer.

General Qiao Sen snorted disdainfully: "In my opinion, this battle report is clearly written. The army's air defense forces are neglecting to guard against each other. Four positions were attacked by opponents one after another, and even the alarm was not issued, resulting in the loss of a second-level patrol ship in vain. So after the exercise is over, they should rectify their troops well to avoid such a ridiculous thing happening again!"

"You are right. Of course, the responsibility is in the army and it has nothing to do with us. But... wouldn't this be a waste of money for those student soldiers?"

General Qiao Sen said: "After all, that's just a group of insignificant little people. Besides, we have already made a lot of attention since the Spring Conference Fightings. The successful large-scale aerial assault has won numerous praises from the old man and our fleet staff. Next, as long as we cooperate with our opponents to stage a arduous and tortuous counterattack, the exercise will be complete. We are destined to be the number one winner of this Spring Conference Fightings. How can we not be able to withstand a group of small jumping bugs who dare to challenge traditions?"

Colonel Camerent bowed respectfully: "You are right. At such a sumptuous banquet, a plate of novel side dishes appeared. Even if it was too spicy, it was not a bad thing!"

General Qiao Sen smiled slightly, then yawned: "Okay, that's all, I have to get up, okay! It's still early, I'll go back to cultivate my spirits. In the next few days, we have to let the justice side reverse the situation and finally get the victory cake, right?"
