“It’s past one o’clock, and there are still planes and helicopters flying in the distant sky.
After the reconnaissance team scattered, although everyone had individual communication devices, the range of these devices was limited. Once everyone ran too far apart, it was impossible to use them to contact everyone.
Moreover, there’s definitely more than one reconnaissance team member like Wang Ye who changed their outfits.
So, after it’s all over, the only way to notify everyone to regroup is through this method.
“Master… Let’s move forward!”
Behind a motorcycle, Wang Ye carried a luggage case containing his and Wen Xiaoman’s equipment, guiding the motorcycle’s driver.
The Chief of Staff and the others guessed wrong. Wang Ye never even considered not going back to regroup.
Without going back to regroup, how would he return to the division headquarters?
He wasn’t even clear about the current location of the division headquarters.
It had only been about ten days since he left, and he hadn’t gone out during that time.
Moreover, he had flown in by helicopter before, and this time, he came out in the middle of the night in a car.
Without exaggeration, even if he had to go back alone, he wouldn’t know how to get there.”
So going back was definitely a must.
Of course, Wang Ye was truly afraid to go and pick up Wen Xiaoman.
He figured that once Wen Xiaoman went inside, she definitely wouldn’t come out unscathed; she should be with the Iron Bones Hero Regiment now.
But he didn’t dare to go there.
He’d head directly back to the assembly point.
Anyway, Wu Jianfeng and the company commander had both given him a pass, so what was there to worry about going back?
The battalion commander probably wouldn’t come looking for him just because he fired a few rounds with the anti-aircraft gun, right?
In fact, when Wang Ye returned to the truck, there were no soldiers from the Iron Bones Hero Regiment here.
“Haha, Wang Ye, you’re back!”
“Impressive, impressive, you actually used an anti-aircraft gun to shell your own battalion headquarters!”
“You’ve got some guts! You dare to come to the assembly point. If 1 were you, I’d be sprinting back by now!”
Some of the reconnaissance soldiers were already here, and they gathered around Wang Ye with cheerful expressions as he dismounted the motorcycle.
After settling the bill, Wang Ye smiled and spoke to them, “Make sure no one from the Iron Bones Hero Regiment is watching here, alright? If they are, I’ll leave immediately!”
“Haha, don’t worry, they’re not here! Rest assured, if they were, I’d definitely chase them away for you!” An Ping also walked up with a smile.
Wang Ye’s achievements, after Jiang Nan just mentioned them briefly, had widened his eyes.
“Wang Ye!” At this moment, Jiang Nan walked over.
“Lieutenant, hello!” Wang Ye stood at attention and saluted.
“Alright, go up to the truck and change your clothes. Also, haven’t you retrieved your backpack yet?”
“Report, my backpack is still in the mountains. I’ll go get it now!”
“Okay, change your clothes first, and then have your squad leader accompany you to get it.”
“Yes, sir!” Wang Ye nodded in agreement.
“Wang Ye, tell me in detail what you did after we separated. Where did you get the anti-aircraft gun?”
Jiang Nan hadn’t asked this before, but once they entered the jungle, An Ping couldn’t hold back.
“Squad leader…” Wang Ye smiled and began to explain briefly.
Well… he downplayed it a bit. Wang Ye didn’t mention that in the first attack, he and his unit had taken down those officers together, nor did he mention that the major he took down later was his own company commander.
Of course, even with the omitted details, An Ping couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Wang Ye had really done a remarkable job this time.
Excluding the female soldiers’ squad, the entire company had killed two senior officers, one of whom had been sniped not long ago.
Wang Ye’s ability to handle things on his own was impressive enough. Moreover, he had accomplished such a sensational feat.
“This time when you go back, you’re definitely going to be praised. But I advise you, even if you have the chance, it’s better not to return to your company anytime soon. Your company commander might beat you up!”
“Yeah, yeah, I definitely won’t go back,” Wang Ye nodded with a smile.
Of course, who would go back now and risk getting beaten up?
At least he should wait until the company commander and the others had calmed down a bit before considering returning.
Meanwhile, at the Iron Bones Hero’s base camp.
Both Lin Hai and Wu Jianfeng had returned.
After they met, Wu Jianfeng initially had a bitter expression, thinking he could gain some sympathy from Lin Hai. However, as soon as he spoke, Lin Hai calmly said, “Enough, you scoundrel! You died so quickly, and to make it worse, you died at Wang Ye’s hands. The key is that you guys are so useless; why did you even bring rocket launchers with you? It led me to get hit by both rocket launchers and shot in the head with a sniper rifle!”
With that remark, Old Wu’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“The… Company… Commander, you…” Wu Jianfeng’s eyes were truly wide open.
Before, they had all followed the exercise rules, and nobody knew how Lin Hai had died.
In fact, Wu Jianfeng didn’t even know that his company commander had died.
Now, as they met, he couldn’t believe it. The company commander was gone, and from the sound of it, he had been taken out by the weapons they had captured.
Old Wu was in a bit of a daze.
Of course, the more shocking news was yet to come.
When a staff officer from the regiment headquarters arrived shortly after, both of them had the urge to pretend to be sick and lie down in the hospital.
Damn it, Wang Ye had actually used the anti-aircraft gun they obtained from the company commander to shell the regiment headquarters. The worst part was that he had damaged their fellow villager’s sugarcane in the process, and then had a female reconnaissance soldier disguise herself as the villager’s daughter and infiltrate to eliminate the regiment’s deputy commander and the company commander of the military police!
At this moment, Lin Hai felt a bit lightheaded. He could even imagine how his superiors, including the regiment commander, would look at him during the upcoming meeting.
It was probably the same as how he had just looked at Wu Jianfeng!
Damn it, that scoundrel Wang Ye.
The second company commander couldn’t help but curse out loud.
“Ah-choo!”
In the jungle, as Wang Ye had just taken his backpack down from a tree, he suddenly sneezed, rubbing his nose.
“What’s wrong? Catch a cold?” An Ping asked with a laugh.
“I don’t think so, just my nose itching a bit.”
“Haha, 1 bet your company commander and the others are definitely talking about you!”
Wang Ye shuddered and looked at An Ping with a wry smile. “Please, it’s best to forget about me. I don’t want them talking about me!”
“Haha!”
An Ping burst into laughter.
Of course, it was all in jest. With the backpack retrieved, the two of them naturally started heading back the way they came. About twenty minutes later, they returned to the assembly point by the truck.
“Wang Ye!”
Wen Xiaoman had also returned, and as she saw Wang Ye coming down from the hill, she walked over with a smile, surrounded by several female soldiers.
She was undoubtedly the most attractive lady in this confrontation.
Throughout the confrontation, the highest-ranking officer killed was the Iron Bones Hero Regiment’ colonel, who also happened to be the deputy regiment commander.
And she was the one responsible for his demise.
“Congratulations, you’ve made quite a name for yourself this time!” Wang Ye said with a smile.
On the way to retrieve his backpack, An Ping had already filled Wang Ye in on her achievements.
The deputy regiment commander!
Wang Ye had instinctively shrunk his neck when he heard that.
Even though it was indirectly caused by him, during the post-action analysis, all the contributing factors would surely be brought up, and Wang Ye would inevitably be exposed.
So honestly, when Wang Ye returned now, he couldn’t help but look around nervously.
He was afraid that the deputy regiment commander might suddenly drive by and take action.
With a smile, Wen Xiaoman asked, “You contributed the most. By the way, where did you go afterward?”
“I was just driving around in my Toyota 86 for a while, then 1 left the car and went to the nearby town!” Wang Ye replied.
After a brief exchange, the group of female soldiers around Wen Xiaoman also joined in with cheerful chatter.
After about another ten minutes, the entire company, including the female soldiers, had returned.
Everyone got on the truck.
And at that moment, Wang Ye truly breathed a sigh of relief.
The regiment commander and the deputy regiment commander didn’t come to get him..
