Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster!-Chapter 248 - 102: Real Combat Test? March and Shoot!

minutes later, all combat personnel were fully equipped and ready.

Chen Jian intended to set off immediately, but after a glance around, he quickly discovered that everyone’s weapon configurations were not scientifically designed.

Including Huang Yu, all 46 combat personnel were carrying direct-fire weapons.

Although there were a few rocket launchers, it was obviously not enough to deal with monsters that moved extremely fast or had heavy armor layers.

Thus, he directly ordered Fu Xi to open the armory and instructed Huang Yu to divide the personnel into groups.

The 46 people were divided into 5 infantry squads, and each squad was further divided into three combat teams, with squad leaders and team leaders elected on the spot.

According to Chen Jian’s familiar method, he configured the weapons for all infantry squads accordingly.

The first team was led by the squad leader as the team leader, with each member carrying two rounds of rocket launchers and a rifle, shouldering the primary "anti-armor" task, and the overall command was held by the squad leader.

The second team was led by the deputy squad leader, equipped with three 201 universal machine guns, with the team leader carrying additional ammo boxes to manage heavy firepower output.

The third team was led by an experienced veteran, equipped with a PBP201 mortar, an LG-6 semi-automatic grenade launcher, and a QLU-193 sniper grenade, serving as the support group for the team.

With such a configuration, an infantry squad’s firepower and combat capability were maximized, and functionally, it could cover almost all combat scenarios faced against monsters.

The only problem was that these "rookies" were not familiar with the weapons in their hands.

But so what?

As long as they could pull the trigger, it would suffice.

Chen Jian never intended to let the monsters get close enough to disrupt their formation.

To put it nicely, this is a combat operation.

To put it less nicely, this is simply a live-fire shooting drill. freēwēbnovel.com

After all, the target was clear, the map was completely open, and the weapon configurations were maxed out.

If they still managed to incur casualties, Chen Jian felt that as a commander, he should go back to training.

So rather than harshly testing these new recruits through brutal combat, what Chen Jian really cared about was how to let them gradually grasp the essence of "tactics" in a real battlefield environment.

This is a necessary step for them to move from "defense" to "offense."

With everything ready, Chen Jian led the main force using 3 cargo trucks, a warrior mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicle, and two cat vehicles to the predetermined combat site.

And from the moment they boarded, the process of live combat training began.

"All squad leaders, check the radio communication status, acknowledge receipt and respond, over."

"Squad One received, over."

"Squad Two received, over."

"Squad Three received..."

The five squad leaders responded one by one, and Chen Jian nodded in satisfaction, then continued to order:

"Deputy squad leader, monitor the drone feed, report any findings. Start with Squad One, over."

"Received, I can see the monsters now, their distance from us, um... 10... 12 kilometers, to the southwest."

"No other monsters around—— no other monsters within 5 kilometers, the nearest monster is... 7 kilometers away. Over."

Squad One’s leader, Huang Meng, answered rather awkwardly, and the report was not entirely complete, but Chen Jian didn’t nitpick, as he wasn’t looking for perfection.

As long as they started doing it and formed an awareness of drone reconnaissance, they would gradually become more proficient.

"What about Squad Two? What’s your situation over there?"

"Squad Two received, I can’t see anything here... Commander, can I have the drone fly a bit more to the east? Over."

"You can try manipulating the control stick to adjust the drone’s position. Fu Xi, guide him through the radio."

"Fu Xi understands, intervening, switching frequency."

As Fu Xi’s voice faded, the Squad Two leader sitting in the cat vehicle immediately received guidance from Fu Xi on a different frequency. Following Fu Xi’s instructions, he successfully operated the drone himself, completing a simple positional adjustment.

This may not seem like much to be proud of, but Squad Two leader Huang Qiao’s face was still filled with excitement.

Taking this step forward meant that he had moved a step closer to the commanders.

With him as an example, the other four squad leaders began trying to operate the drones themselves. With hands-on teaching and the originally powerful flight control system’s assistance, they quickly learned the basic operations.

And as they became proficient in operating the drone’s perspective, the feedback reported via radio also became increasingly clear and detailed.

"Squad One leader Huang Meng reporting, I’ve discovered the target monster has awakened and is active."

"It might move east to hunt, and if it continues, it might join up with the monster from the east."

"Commander, should we speed up? If the two monsters join forces, the difficulty of the operation would significantly increase. Over."

"Approved."

Chen Jian nodded with satisfaction.

What is a commander’s greatest fear?

It’s not when his subordinates overthink; it’s when they don’t think at all!

No matter how much you think, as long as the baseline of "obedience to orders" is there, the command remains effective.

But if you rigidly and unchangingly execute orders when the battlefield situation changes, the team is basically doomed.

And now, not just Huang Yu, but even the lower-level soldiers under Huang Yu were showing proactive thinking. This meant that this team had moved another step closer to a truly refined force.
