Chapter 261: Tracking Him, Remembering Him Forever

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Black Rock Cliff Village was an inconspicuous mountain village near the border.

Even though it was referred to be a village, there weren’t many residents.

The area probably only had 20 to 30 households. Some of the doors were shut, and some of them were deserted.

It could be said the number of people in the village might not be much more than the four companies that have arrived as a platoon.

However, Wang Ye and the others had not entered the village yet.

The local police have been making announcements across the village to summon some of the workers in the nearby fields back to the village.

There was no need for any investigation.

Although the location of the incident was only a dozen kilometers away from here, there were mountains everywhere. There was no way out of the mountains.

It was not possible to leave the area with cars, the only way would be if they had a helicopter.

They would not have been able to cross such a long distance in just two hours.

The local police were in charge of doing this work, while the soldiers of the 3rd Platoon and 4th Company were setting up a perimeter to prevent them from really coming here and trying to enter the village.

If the members of the Iron Bones Hero Regiment had not encountered this situation, and if this area was also part of their defense zone, the entire Iron Bones Hero Regiment would not have been mobilized to cover more than 100 kilometers.

After all, there were many armed police and local forces at the border.

It was just that the regiment commander had indeed been very aggrieved during this period.

The Deng Hai incident caused the Iron Bones Heroes Regiment to lose its reputation, although Wang Ye has also made a name for himself and his name has appeared in the military newspaper.

However, this did not change the fact that the Iron Bones Hero Regiment had failed in that matter.

The regiment commander has to be humiliated, just like the police detective company.

To get this mission this time, he made direct contact with the divisional headquarters and the local administration.

Under such circumstances, the people dispatched by the local government were only there to help protect the people around the crime scene.

“Are we just going to wait here?”

At a spot on the east side of the village where they could overlook the entire village below, Wang Ye, Zhou Qi, and Wei Qing Hai formed a three-man team.

However, it was different from last time.

This time, other than the three of them carrying 95 rifles, Wei Qing Hai also carried a 40 rifle on his back.

Additionally, because he had been preparing to battle for the recruits today for the first time, He did not bring the 80-caliber rocket launcher. Otherwise, he would be carrying that on his back now.

However, this was a little too much.

Wang Ye looked at Wei Qing Hai, who had asked Zhou Qi about it, and couldn’t help but think to himself, ‘These criminals probably never dreamed that they would receive such treatment.’

He heard that the criminals only had a few small pistols.

But now, they had brought all the machine guns, rocket launchers, and even sniper rifles.

With this much firepower, criminals might probably their pants if they saw it.

“Well stay here for the time being. Well listen to your orders.”

Hearing Zhou Qi’s words, Wang Ye didn’t have any objections, but he couldn’t help but say, “Class monitor, the platoon leader said that we encounter this kind of thing once or twice a year. Is that true?”

Wang Ye had been holding back this question for a long time.

“Listen to his nonsense. This is the first time I’ve encountered it!” Wei Qing Hai said.

He was a first-class soldier, which meant that he had been in the army for more than a year, so he had the right to speak.

Zhou Qi heard his obvious disrespect for his superiors, but he didn’t scold him. He only looked at Wang Ye and said with a smile, “Actually, what he said isn’t wrong. It’s just that we don’t encounter this kind of thing often, and it’s even rarer to mobilize the entire team.

This was because this kind of work was usually carried out by the armed police department and local forces.”

Pausing for a moment, he looked in the direction of the border. Suddenly, he stopped smiling and sighed, “Peace. There’s no such thing as true peace.”

In the country, there is peace behind them.

But in front of them is another case.

There is no telling how many people and how much criminal activity is combated each year within this area, whether by domestic outlaws or foreign ones, for various purposes and conspiracies.

After a pause, he looked at Wang Ye again and said, “We are, after all, an integrated field unit, and while our regiment has the strength to hold the borders, that’s only the unpopulated, militarily important areas on the border.”

“Our strength isn’t directed in this direction. Our main purpose is to deal with conflicts that may erupt between countries, not to catch these scattered criminals.”

“Then why did you let us come today?” This question wasn’t asked by Wang Ye, but by Wei Qing Hai, who was carrying a rocket launcher on his back.

In fact, Wang Ye had already figured out why he did that.

“It’s all because of that bastard Deng Hai!” Zhou Qi gritted his teeth and said angrily.

Even if he was also speculating, it wasn’t difficult to guess this.

Looking at him gnashing his teeth, Wang Ye silently turned his head and didn’t say anything.

Deng Hai had probably become a matter that will constantly be on his mind now.

Perhaps the name Deng Hai may not be one that other squad leaders or other company men might normally recall too much as time passes.

But it was different for Zhou Qi.

He could be considered a victim. It was not an exaggeration to say that he would remember Deng Hai for the rest of his life.

Uh… Noted!” Wei Qing Hai was speechless.

He understood.

It is about revenge!

The team as a whole was unable to capture Deng Hai the previous time, but this time they were prepared to do it.

“Alright, stop talking.” Zhou Qi took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

“Wang Ye, adjust the view by three times and focus on the mountain forest on the opposite side. Keep a close eye on it.”

“Yes, sir!” Wang Ye replied.

Then, Zhou Qi continued to pat Wei Qing Hai’s shoulder and said, “You and 1 will go to the back and watch!”

From this vantage point, they could overlook the small village below because it was located in a small basin surrounded by mountains.

However, at Wang Ye’s current location, the back was filled with trees and forests.

Therefore, Wang Ye could only look at the village below and the other three directions. He could only leave the rest to the others.

Wei Qing Hai nodded and followed Zhou Qi.

They wouldn’t go too far, so they stayed close and listened for any movements.

“Company Commander, they are entering the river!”

In the forest in the mountains, Fu Wei’s expression was very ugly.

They had arrived about an hour earlier than Wang Ye and the others.

The team failed to capture Deng Hai the previous time, but this time around, they had everything they needed to do it.

Under the commander’s order, the division headquarters chose to give the Iron Bones Hero Regiment this chance to avenge their humiliation.

Right now, his only platoon was split into three groups. According to the information given by the tracking personnel of the Eighth Company, they split up their forces and chased after the four criminals who had fled in three different directions.

Twenty minutes ago, they had already captured an enemy in the other two areas. The other area was also continuing to pursue them. The traces were more obvious, and they had not encountered any difficulties so far.

However, he had encountered a difficult problem now.

The enemy was very cunning. This was already the second time they had escaped through the river.

It was obvious that the other party had experience in counter-tracking and knew that water could eliminate the traces left behind by his escape.

“Hu-”

He took a deep breath and suppressed the impatience in his heart. He looked at his class monitor and said, “Follow the plan!”

The plan was to divide the troops and start checking the river upstream and downstream.

This was the stupidest and the only way.

If the enemy had gone into the water to erase their traces, they could only use this method to find the location where they had come ashore and continue tracking them.

Of course, under such circumstances, most of the enemies would be downstream.

However, they did not dare to be careless.

Even if the chance of the enemy running upstream was less than one percent, he could not miss this one percent.

The current reconnaissance platoon could not afford to lose.

In fact, it was true.

Very soon, he heard the report from the warriors below through his earpiece. “Company Commander, he’s ashore!”

“Let’s go!”

Without any hesitation, he dived into the water in front of him.

The water in the mountain river that had just come out of winter was bone-chillingly cold, but Fu Wei didn’t seem to be aware of it.

He quickly swam across the ten-meter-wide river.

After reaching the shore, he ran upstream.

However, after a while, his expression turned ugly again.

Because the traces of the enemy had disappeared after only a few dozen meters into the forest.

“Company commander, the enemy is very cunning. Looking at the footprints, they didn’t go in this direction.”

“He should have been here about 20 minutes ago.”

“Moreover, looking at the footprints, it was obvious that after they came ashore, they returned to the river according to their original footsteps.”

“I think they must have gone downstream.”

The class monitor under him gave a very professional judgment.

Chasing people, they were indeed the professionals.

Previously, Deng Hai was able to run away because he didn’t leave the crowd along the way.

There were often other people appearing in the forest. In addition, Deng Hai had changed his clothes and shoes along the way, and he had also concealed his smell. That was why he had the chance to escape.

But now, there was hardly anyone here.

There was only one trace and footstep left. Even if they had some thoughts of counter-reconnaissance and counter-tracking, it was still child’s play in the eyes of the scouts.

Of course, seeing through their camouflage didn’t mean that he could take a break now.

He went into the river again!

This was the hardest part.

“Go back!

Fu Wei was annoyed and clenched his fists tightly, but he could only grit his teeth and give the order.

He continued to search for traces of landings along the river..
