Chapter 353: Ambush the Iron Bones Hero Regiment
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Hey, I wonder how Wang Ye is doing?”
At night, at the training base of the Iron Bones Hero Regiment, among the members of Class Eight who were already resting, someone couldn’t help but speak up.
“The Reconnaissance Regiment of the Master Division, it must be tough!” Li Bing shook his head and sighed.
They already knew where Wang Ye had gone.
After all, the training team had all graduated, and everyone else had returned, but Wang Ye was the only one missing. How could they not be concerned?
At that time, Zhou Qi had even rushed to find Wu Jianfeng in a hurry.
Naturally, Wang Ye’s whereabouts weren’t something that needed to be kept secret, so they knew.
“All, Brother Wang and us really belong in different worlds!” Zhang Wen lay on his bed, full of sighs as he spoke, “He’s getting more and more comfortable.
He’s already at the Master Division. Will he be going to the military academy by the middle of next year? When we meet again in the future, we’ll have to salute him!”
As soon as he said this, Peng Yuhang next to him immediately laughed, “Hehe,
1 definitely won’t give him a chance. When he graduates from the military academy, I might already be a boss at home!”
“What are you thinking?” At this moment, Zuo Zicheng looked over and spoke unkindly, “Being a boss, my fellow comrades from the same period, some are working on construction sites, some are working as security guards at the gate, some are on assembly lines, but there really aren’t any bosses among us.”
Looking at Peng Yuhang, he spoke in the tone of an old soldier instructing a new recruit, “Unless you have a family business to inherit, otherwise, rely on yourself, be a bit more realistic!”
After a pause, he added, “Let me advise you, work harder, and if you have the chance, serve at least twelve years, at the very least, do five years.
That way, when you’re around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, you’ll have some severance pay, and you can start a small shop outside to make a decent living.
Of course, when I say a small shop, 1 mean the kind of small convenience store at the entrance of a residential area or a market, not asking you to start a big business.”
“Hehe, I was just talking!” Peng Yuhang replied somewhat embarrassedly.
“Being a soldier, before he came to the army, he had thought about becoming an elite, studying in the army, and then becoming an officer after graduation.
But now that he’s here, forget about becoming a non-commissioned officer, even if the non-commissioned officer contract were placed in front of him, there’s a good chance he wouldn’t sign it.
Soldiers, behind the glory, there’s hardship, and this kind of hardship, enduring it for two years, he feels like he doesn’t have the courage to continue.
Zuo Zicheng didn’t pay attention to his joking and just said with a sigh, “Many veterans think of themselves as dragons, they thrive in the army and can still make waves when they go home.
They start businesses with the hard-earned severance pay they’ve saved up for eight, ten, or even more years, but in the end, they don’t make any money, and their own severance pay is wiped out, and they end up owing debts left and right!”
Peng Yuhang lay on his bed, this time he didn’t dare to say a word.
“Alright, stop talking, everyone get some rest early, be ready for an emergency assembly tonight!” At this moment, Zhou Qi spoke and ended the night’s conversation.
He knew the situation in the class.
Excluding Wang Ye’s four conscripts, maybe only Zhang Wen had the ambition to serve longer, while everyone else were two-year recruits.
Of course, everyone had their own aspirations, and two years weren’t bad at all, at least they had all contributed their efforts to the country.
During their service, they had also done what a soldier should do.
For example, during the recent flood, whether it was Luo Yang, who complained every day about how many days were left until he got out, or Wei Qinghai, who also wanted to leave, or Peng Yuhang, none of them brought shame to their uniforms.
Having this much was enough.
“Two hundred eight, two hundred eighty-one, two hundred eighty-two…”
At the training ground, the members of Class Eight were already sleeping, but at the Master Division Reconnaissance Regiment, Wang Ye was still counting in the dormitory.
Three sets of three hundred, the daily routine after the scouts turned off the lights.
And this was just a regular daily routine, after it ended each night, there might be some unexpected incidents.
For example, if his squad didn’t perform well today, or if the squad leader was dissatisfied with something, there might be extra drills at night.
In fact, such things had been happening quite frequently in the first squad recently.
Because there was no harm in making comparisons!
Wang Ye’s arrival, even though everyone knew about it, they all admitted that he was quite extraordinary.
However, this didn’t prevent the squad leader from having a negative view of others because of Wang Ye’s exceptional performance.
Just like tonight, after Wang Ye had completed three sets of three hundred, others were still continuing.
They were all doing three sets of four hundred.
“Take your time, guys. I’ll go wet a towel and wipe myself down first!” Wang Ye said cheerfully.
After getting to know his squadmates over the past ten days, he had no intention of causing any trouble with them anymore.
When they had extra meals, he could sit back and enjoy watching them while kicking his legs up, and he did so with a very pleasant mood.
However, as Wang Ye was about to take a towel, it happened suddenly.
“Beep- Beep Beep… Emergency assembly!”
“Oh, damn!”
“Hurry!”
Wang Ye grabbed the towel and ran to his bed immediately, and the others also got up right away.
Whether it was three sets of four hundred or three hundred, it didn’t matter anymore.
“Enough already! We’ve been working our butts off today!”
“No kidding, I’m in pain all over, and they won’t even let us get a good night’s sleep!”
Inside the dormitory, someone was complaining.
Of course, no one was slow in their movements.
Everyone had learned to complain without delaying their tasks.
“Don’t waste time, move quickly!”
Soon, everyone had packed their backpacks.
Fully armed, they went down to the armory to pick up their rifles and gathered in front of the building.
“Comrades, it’s time for revenge!”
As the formation ended, Jiang Nan stood in front of the corridor and said the first sentence, leaving Wang Ye and the others bewildered.
Of course, not just Wang Ye, but the others were also puzzled.
Revenge?
What kind of revenge were they talking about?
They hadn’t been in any battles recently, and the Second Reconnaissance Regiment hadn’t been on any missions or suffered any losses, as far as they knew!
However, their confusion lasted only for a moment because Jiang Nan didn’t keep them in suspense.
“Following orders from higher-ups, our unit will serve as the assessment factor for the Iron Bones Hero Regiment this time!”
His words immediately widened Wang Ye’s eyes.
Fuck!
Internally, Wang Ye just thought, “What does this mean? Assessment factor, are we going to attack them? And it’s the Iron Bones Hero Regiment! Fuck”
Wang Ye’s emotions were complex at this moment, and his expression showed it.
Coincidentally, right after Jiang Nan finished speaking, he looked directly at Wang Ye.
In fact, Wang Ye was already quite conspicuous, standing in the front row.
“Wang Ye, do you have a problem?”
After giving it a long moment’s thoughts, Wang Ye finally said, “Could I not participate?”
Going back to fight his old company commander and battalion commander?
The key was that Wang Ye was quite confident in his abilities.
If he couldn’t defeat the battalion commander, wouldn’t he be making a fool of himself?
“No, you can’t!” Jiang Nan looked at Wang Ye and straightforwardly refused.
Then he spoke again, “Remember, you are a soldier. You are loyal to the country and the people, not to a particular unit. Although your current organizational affiliation is still with the Iron Bones Hero Regiment, you are currently a scout in the Second Reconnaissance Regiment.”
After a pause, Jiang Nan continued, “Furthermore, fighting your old unit will allow your former company commander and regiment commander to see your growth. Isn’t that something to be happy about?”
Wang Ye looked at him speechlessly.
To be honest, at this moment, Wang Ye felt like there was a little devil stirring inside him.
If he could go back and catch Wu Jianfeng and give him a good beating, he should be pleasantly surprised.
But there’s another little voice inside Wang Ye telling him that the Fourth Company had been good to him, and the Iron Bones Hero Regiment had been good to him too, and he couldn’t do something like this…
“Alright, go get your exercise equipment, and each squad, according to your needs, change your firearms!”
Currently, everyone had Type 95 rifles.
This was the standard practice during routine training.
But once they were in combat, they definitely wouldn’t all be using Type 95s.
In fact, even Wang Ye had switched weapons later on.
Type 05 suppressed submachine gun.
The preferred weapon of choice.
In addition to this, Wang Ye also carried an 89-style mortar barrel and two rounds of ammunition, and there were also other squad members carrying other parts of the mortar.
Although he didn’t want to fight his battalion commander and company commander, and he didn’t want to carry all this stuff, the squad leader had ordered it.
Soon, everyone had smeared their faces with camouflage paint and changed into exercise helmets.
Some even put on ghillie suits.
However, after everything was ready, Jiang Nan didn’t hurry everyone onto the vehicle.
Everyone lined up in front of the building, and Wang Ye didn’t know what Jiang Nan was waiting for.
Wang Ye looked at him, and at this moment, he couldn’t help but mutter in his heart, “Is this guy waiting for an auspicious time to depart? Is he checking the time or something?”
Of course, that wasn’t the case in reality.
Before long, an Dongfang Mingshi vehicle arrived.
Wang Ye looked at it in astonishment.
“Captain Jiang, are you all ready?”
In the vehicle, the soldier in the front passenger seat, her face smeared with camouflage paint, spoke to Jiang Nan in front of the building.
“We’re ready, Captain Li, you’re leading the team yourself!”
There were eight female soldiers in the vehicle, as Wang Ye counted.
“What’s wrong? Is it not acceptable?” The woman was somewhat domineering, but Jiang Nan didn’t get annoyed; he just chuckled, “Of course it’s acceptable. Welcome, you’re just in time!”
“Alright, let’s not waste any more time!”
The woman spoke and was the first to get out of the vehicle, followed by the remaining seven.
Jiang Nan didn’t waste any time either.
Three trucks were driven out from the garage.
“Hurry up, form a line!”
The squad leader shouted beside one of the trucks.
At the same time, Captain Li also shouted, “Xiaoman, Siping, both of you, get on!”
“Yes!
The two female soldiers responded and then followed Wang Ye and the others onto one of the trucks.
“Move quickly, make some room-”
“Inside, please!”
Inside the truck, there was a bit of commotion as the male soldiers eagerly made space.
Although Squad One had initially seen them like they were tigresses, you couldn’t tell in the truck now.
Wang Ye squeezed in and watched the two female soldiers who had just sat down at the back of the truck and were smiling and greeting the other soldiers.
They were cheerful and straightforward, not the delicate appearance you might expect from girls.
Inside the transport truck, they just sat down wherever they could.
Hey, which one is Wang Ye?”
Out of the blue, a girl at the back of the truck suddenly looked at the group of male soldiers and asked.
In an instant, many people inside the truck turned their heads to look at the giri-
Well… they couldn’t see Wang Ye clearly.
Although there were lights outside, there were none inside the truck.
In the pitch darkness, they only knew the location of Squad One and looked over reflexively.
“Hey, she’s looking for you!” Next to Wang Ye, Qju Shuang nudged him and smiled, speaking softly.
I’m here!” Wang Ye didn’t hesitate and replied directly..
