823: Chapter 814: Live-Fire Exercise 823: Chapter 814: Live-Fire Exercise Gao Yang roughly knew what General Wolfgang wanted him for, likely related to combat training, with Li Jinfang being the most suitable candidate.
However, since Li Jinfang’s leg injury prevented him from performing intense movements, General Wolfgang had turned his attention to Gao.
Speaking of which, Gao Yang often thought about the students he had taught and wondered how many of the newcomers had stayed and passed the selection to become members of the Special Forces.
Although he knew that a visit would inevitably involve sparring and enduring some hardships, Gao Yang was still quite eager to meet with General Wolfgang.
The training experience under General Wolfgang’s command at the military base was one of the key factors in Satan’s development to its current stage.
After training at the base, every improvement in Gao Yang and others like Cui Bo and Frey could only be described as earth-shattering.
They had endured hellish training to exceed the standards of most mercenaries.
The training facilities at Destin’s camp were quite comprehensive, and the instructors were very professional, but could it compare to a real Special Forces base?
The answer was definitely no, and it wasn’t even close.
Now that Satan had recruited many newcomers, Gao naturally hoped to undergo the most top-notch training process in the world again.
However, as Gao Yang had said, even if there were a big issue, he would have to wait until after seeing the dentist before handling it.
Seeing a dentist in Tel Aviv was quite convenient.
Destin sent a driver to take Gao Yang to a good dental clinic, and it didn’t take long at all—just about two hours for both waiting and getting his tooth fixed.
When the dentist drilled into Gao Yang’s tooth, the pent-up pain immediately vanished, making him feel much more relaxed and even clearing his mind significantly.
The only problem was that Gao Yang had intended to have the tooth pulled, but after being persuaded by the dentist, he eventually gave up the idea.
Instead, he opted for a root canal treatment which would save the tooth but required several more visits to the clinic—somewhat troublesome indeed.
When Gao Yang returned to the training camp, Glolov and the others had changed their training content and Gao just happened to catch their exercise.
Destin made everyone run for their lives, not just for the sake of tormenting them, but to push Glolov and the others to their physical limits and then immediately engage in various targeted exercises to develop their combat abilities in extreme conditions.
In the assault group’s urban combat training, Cui Bo had to maintain accurate shooting skills even when too exhausted to lift his fingers.
Similarly, Glolov needed to manage machine gun suppression while too tired to stand, and Tommy, of course, had to achieve precise grenade throws under the same conditions.
In a designated open area, Satan members were conducting drills with live ammunition, and various targets appeared one after another, each being shot down in turn.
Using live ammunition while physically exhausted was very dangerous.
With all their movements already deformed, a misfire could easily result in injuring or even killing their own people.
From a distance, Destin watched through binoculars.
When Gao Yang stood beside him, Destin looked very serious and said, “Take a look, you need to see this as an outsider.”
Watching Li Jinfang and Eileen wobble through a door and waiting for Frey to toss in a grenade before storming the room, while Glolov had to machine gun the roof just above their heads, and Cui Bo, needed to use a large caliber sniper rifle to hit a target less than five meters away from them from six hundred meters away.
Gao Yang watched with sweaty palms and said solemnly, “This is too dangerous, is such a risk necessary?”
When Gao Yang said this, he felt rather embarrassed, as each member of the Satan Mercenary Corps was followed by an instructor who was just as at risk while observing up close to spot their faults.
Destin replied solemnly, “Very necessary.
This is the first time conducting live ammunition drills under extreme physical conditions.
It proves that they still have gaps.
Look, see for yourself.”
Gao Yang picked up his binoculars and watched repeatedly as situations arose where Li Jinfang and the others could be declared ‘killed’ if it were real combat.
There’s no doubt, many from the Satan Mercenary Corps would survive under such conditions.
Perspiration started on Gao Yang’s palms holding the binoculars, especially seeing Tommy miss his target six times with a mortar, which he needed to hit under the same conditions.
Finally, Gao Yang said shakily, “At the same level, what can you guys achieve?”
Destin replied gravely, “Sure, there’d be mistakes, but our casualty rate would be at least 80% lower than yours!”
Gao Yang was speechless, he sighed heavily and said, “Aside from you, does anyone else train like this?”
Destin shook his head and said, “I don’t know, really don’t know.
Different countries have different demands, but here, live ammunition drills after reaching physical limits are essential.”
“Without exercises, we wouldn’t know where the problems lie,” Glolov had never had to fight immediately after reaching the limits of physical endurance, but just because they hadn’t experienced it, didn’t mean it would never happen.
Tommy was an incredible gunner, who could hit the target with his eyes closed, but after exhausting his strength, his trembling hands couldn’t steady the gun barrel or hold the ammunition firmly.
It would be a miracle if he could make accurate shots then.
Watching anxiously, finally, after Li Jinfang and his team completed all the exercise tasks, Destin began receiving performance reports from each individual, making a mark on a form for each report he got.
Gao Yang asked with a trembling voice, “How did it go?”
Destin shrugged and said, “All killed in action, including the sniper.
This is just a report regarding the survival status of the exercise personnel.
The specifics of their performance and the areas needing improvement will be known only after the trainers return.”
Gao Yang widened his eyes and said, “All killed?
How could that be!”
Destin said sternly, “Once the first casualty occurs, it impacts the others.
This is to make them complete the entire exercise process.
Otherwise, right at the start of the attack, Li Jinfang and Rafael were already casualties.
In a real battle, do you think the rest of the assault team wouldn’t be affected?”
Gao Yang said helplessly, “It’s impossible not to be affected.
So, who performed the best?”
After checking the form, Destin said in a serious voice, “Unbelievably, the best performer was Big Dog.
He was impacted, but he still managed to fulfill his duties.
Tsk, a perfect machine gunner, a perfect veteran!
Followed by Eileen, who performed very well, and then Rabbit.
This guy’s performance was beyond my expectations; he achieved 45% effective kills, which is really surprising.
The last time I saw him, he wasn’t this good.”
Gao Yang was somewhat surprised.
Glolov was not young, yet his stamina still allowed him to carry out a perfect suppressive fire.
However, right now Gao cared not about who was the best, but who performed the worst.
Everyone knows the principle of the weakest link, and Gao wanted to find out how to strengthen the shortest plank, especially within the assault team.
“So, who performed the worst?
Who needs the most targeted improvement training?”
After a pause, Destin said as he looked at the form, “Equally incredible, it was Li Jinfang!”
Gao Yang felt disbelief again but quickly reacted, asking, “Was it emotional factors that affected him?
What happened?”
Destin said with a grave voice, “Li behaved too bravely, almost recklessly.
I haven’t received the full report yet, but from what I saw, he made risky moves in several unsuitable situations, and it turned out he was also the first to be declared dead.”
Just then, Destin pressed his earpiece and shook his head at Gao Yang, saying, “The observer sent back Li Jinfang’s report.
The conclusion is, he made six foolish mistakes, enough to doom the entire assault team.
If it weren’t for Eileen efficiently compensating for his errors next to him, Li Jinfang would have been declared dead twelve times.
And our simulated fire points totaled only thirteen, one of which was eliminated by Rabbit with the first shot.”
Gao Yang clenched his fists tightly, his teeth gritted, but he didn’t know what to say.
Destin sighed and said, “Li Jinfang’s psychological state is problematic.
The observer believes he has a strong self-destructive tendency, which leads to his unconscious rashness and recklessness.
In other words, he’s unconsciously seeking death.
The observer’s conclusion is that unless his psychological state is changed, it would be best to remove him from the battlefield.”
Gao Yang sighed deeply and rubbed his head, unsure of what to do.
Destin spoke sternly, “I will give you the detailed report later.
They have many problems, but the solutions are simple; however, Li Jinfang’s condition is different.
His problems, we cannot solve.
I always thought it best for you to tell them the results; otherwise, if it weren’t for waiting for you, I would have had them go through this exercise earlier.
Now, it seems Li Jinfang’s issues are much more serious than I anticipated, Gao, you need to talk to Li Jinfang soon.”
Gao Yang sighed a few times, looked around, and then extended his hand to Destin, saying, “Give me the folder, I’ll go talk to him right now.”
After handing over the folder, Destin frowned and said, “Aren’t you going to wait until the detailed report comes out before talking to him?”
Gao Yang said firmly, “There’s no waiting.
The situation is urgent, a matter of life and death; we can’t wait.” (To be continued.
