Moreover, the accuracy of positioning and launching must be even higher.
"The military equipment is mostly defensive weapons, while the offensive weapons are mainly missiles," the team member summarized in his report.
Xue Zhongqi, lost in thought.
Currently, the missiles launched by the Armament Camp only have Lock-On Inscription attached. In terms of accurately locking onto enemy targets, they are certainly not as effective as those with Tracking Inscription, so there will still be some error in launching attacks.
"What's going on here?" Xu Jintang walked in, looking around.
Xue Zhongqi replied, "The situation isn't as good as we imagined. Most of the weapons in the armory here are defensive, meaning we can only defend, and launching an offensive might be quite difficult."
Xu Jintang wasn't too surprised.
This assessment was originally designed for trainee soldiers; if we treat them too well, it would defeat the purpose of the assessment.
"First, compile a list of the military equipment and weapons that you can fire from here, and then hand it over to the mobile department of the Command Camp. We'll contact you anytime if needed."
"Okay." Xue Zhongqi nodded, then quickly turned around and focused intently on his work.
Xu Jintang stood there, observing his retreating figure.
They are indeed much more mature than before Armament Camp.
Another hour passed.
The weapons inventory for the Armament Camp has been completed.
The inventory of the logistics team's medical and various support services has also been completed.
Finally, there's the number of personnel in the Recruit Camp and their combat formation.
Upon receiving three different lists at the same time, the members of the Command Camp also began to get busy, inputting the information of each battalion into the command system.
"Bite--"
Friendly reminder: The main city's protective shield will disappear in one hour.
By this time, the regular army had already taken advantage of the opportunity to quickly occupy three springs.
Lei Wenche stood inside the main tent, listening to his team members' reports.
"Another spring has been discovered at coordinates 209,78 in the southeast. A small team has been dispatched to set up camp there. We now have four springs under our control, which is enough for our team members for the time being."
Lei Wenche gazed at the desolate mountains outside the window, stroking the jade thumb ring on his ring finger.
"That's enough, let's get everyone together."
The team member sensed the deeper meaning in his words and slightly raised his eyes, "You mean...?"
Lei Wenche's lips slowly curled into a smile. "There's only one hour left in the protection period, so of course we need to plan our strategy carefully."
The team members smiled in unison, "Understood."
Time flies.
The outdoor temperature is rising, and the sky is becoming increasingly murky, causing the outdoor light to appear low and oppressive, creating an apocalyptic atmosphere as if a storm is brewing.
Xu Jintang stood on the city gate tower, his hands behind his back, gazing at the camp not far away.
From the main city, all you can see are the rooftops of the camps.
"The team we just sent out to scout found a spring, but it seems to have been occupied by the regular army and is being guarded. It seems we were a step too late," Feng Ruihan reported.
A dark glint flashed in Xu Jintang's eyes, then he pursed his dry lips. "Notify the Armament Camp to prepare to launch missiles and directly lock onto the coordinates of the spring."
Feng Ruihan was taken aback. "Should we blast the spring? But if we do that, neither of us will get the water resources there."
"That's exactly what we want—to not get any of it." Xu Jintang's lips curled slightly. "Our warehouse's water resources can last another day, but the camp definitely won't have any. Not getting any water resources is more advantageous for us."
Feng Ruihan quickly realized what was happening.
He nodded thoughtfully. "Understood. I'll go inform them right away."
Shortly after, the Armament Camp the attack order.
Xue Zhongqi, who was in overall control, was also taken aback when he received the order to attack the spring.
"Attack the spring?"
Feng Ruihan nodded on the other end of the communicator, "That's right. Our team has already discovered two springs that have been occupied by the regular army. The exact coordinates have been sent. You can lock onto them and attack, then destroy the springs."
Xue Zhongqi pursed his lips and pondered for a long time before suddenly realizing something. He guessed and asked, "This order was given by Xu Jintang, wasn't it?"
Feng Ruihan hummed in agreement. "That's right, do you have any objections?"
Xue Zhongqi quickly replied with a smile, "No, no, we'll do it right away."
The only person who could come up with such a terrible idea as blowing up the spring would be the squad leader.
Ten seconds later, two super-powered electromagnetic missiles flew out of the main city and sped off in two completely different directions.
"Bang--Bang--"
Two explosions rang out in succession, followed by a huge mushroom cloud shooting into the sky.
"Holy crap! What is this thing? Retreat!" The regular soldiers guarding the spring sensed something was wrong and quickly turned and ran away.
Team members who reacted too slowly were blown away by missiles and subsequently eliminated from the simulated battlefield.
In just two seconds, seven regular military personnel were "blown away" and eliminated by an unexpected missile.
When Lei Wenche received this news, his expression clearly froze for a moment.
"Is the missile definitely launched from the main city?"
The team member awkwardly replied, "Yes, apart from the main city's Armament Camp, there's no one else capable of launching missiles."
Lei Wenche laughed in exasperation, "They're really going to use some underhanded tactics, blasting the spring. Now, neither of us can get the water resources, so let's see who dies of thirst first."
The teammate quickly added, "The main city's warehouse might have a certain amount of water resources stored, probably not much, but definitely more than ours. So this move by the other side is definitely targeted at us."
Lei Wenche had considered that the other side might try to take the spring resource from them, so he specifically sent people to guard it.
But I never expected the other side to be so ruthless, launching a missile and blowing it up.
He shook his head. "Alright, quickly notify the teams at the other two springs to prepare for evacuation."
"Yes!"
Half a minute later, two more explosions rang out, "bang bang--".
The other two springs occupied by the regular army were also destroyed one after another.
The two regular army squads that had evacuated the spring beforehand glanced back at the explosion site with lingering fear. "How vicious! Who's the good guy who blows up the spring first in a war?"
"Luckily we were quick; we managed to get plenty of water, enough for me to drink all day."
"Let's go, let's go back to camp first."
Inside the main military tent.
The team members who had just returned from the springs began to report, "Because the missile attack was somewhat sudden, seven team members were eliminated at the first two springs, but the team members at the latter two springs were all safely evacuated beforehand, with no casualties."
Lei Wenche's brows slowly furrowed into a deep frown.
"Eliminating seven people is a bit of an unnecessary loss."
Because they never expected the enemy to blow up the fountain, they were completely unprepared and ended up losing seven team members unexpectedly.
"The good news is that we've already stored some water resources in the past two hours," the team member added.
Lei Wenche looked over and asked, "Is the stored water enough for the team for several days?"
"Probably... enough for half a day."
Lei Wenche sighed and rubbed his temples. "Pass the word down: continue searching for other springs. This operation must be covert. The enemy Armament Camp might have drone reconnaissance equipment; be on guard."
"Clear!"
"Bite--"
Friendly reminder: The main city's protective shield will disappear in half an hour.
The notification tone sounded again.
At this moment, high above the entire barren mountain area, several stealth reconnaissance drones, so realistic they resembled real birds, were searching for traces of the main force and the spring.
"Report: No formal military presence detected in Area A."
"Report: No findings found in Zone B."
"Report! Military personnel have been detected in Area C. We are beginning to pinpoint their exact coordinates."
Chapter 165
Inside the Armament Camp's operations room.
A huge light screen was projected at the front, showing several regular soldiers lying behind a boulder on a barren hill.
They lay flat on the ground, thinking they were perfectly concealed, unaware that their presence had already been detected by the reconnaissance drone.
" Captain Xue, what should we do with them?" the team member asked, turning around with great interest.
Xue Zhongqi crossed his arms in front of him, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Prepare for missile launch."
"Clear!"
A few seconds later, with a loud "boom," a huge shockwave erupted from the point of explosion.
The three regular army members hidden behind the boulder were instantly blown away and eliminated.
"Bite--"
Friendly reminder: The number of people eliminated from the regular military ranks has exceeded ten.
Lei Wenche and his team members, who were far away in the camp, were all stunned.
"What's going on? Another one of our team members has been eliminated?"
Lei Wenche frowned immediately. "Let's check which side got eliminated first."
"Yes."
The atmosphere inside the tent suddenly became tense.
The other two squad leaders exchanged a glance, neither daring to speak.
Until Lei Wenche looked up, "This can't go on. We need to take the initiative."
One of the squad leaders immediately nodded in agreement, "How about... we wait for the main city's protection period to end, and then launch a direct attack?"
"A direct attack would be disadvantageous for us; we must wait for the right opportunity." Lei Wenche looked up at the sky outside the window and pondered for a moment.
The other squad leader realized something.
He tentatively asked, "Does Captain Lei mean we should wait for the first firestorm disaster to occur?"
Lei Wenche hummed in agreement. "Judging from the sky, a fire rain is probably coming soon."
The two squad leaders exchanged a glance, smiles appearing on their faces. "Understood."
After losing more than ten members, the entire regular army withdrew, completely halting the search for new springs.
