“Not bad, it’s nothing serious, no collaboration with the enemy.
But why is this guy carrying so many bags?”
The staff at the headquarters were quite savvy.
At this moment, when Wang Ye and Wen Xiaoman stood together again, they immediately provided another camera angle for Wen Xiaoman. So, at this moment, the entire appearance of Wang Ye was seen by the staff.
Carrying three or four bags was one thing, but there were also rocket launcher bags, rocket tubes, and Type 88 sniper rifles.
The backpack was gone, but what he had exchanged for was a hodgepodge of equipment, and even the chief of staff couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.
What is he up to, and what is he preparing for?
Blowing up bunkers?
Wang Ye didn’t know what the chief of staff was thinking, but if he had heard it, he would have said something for sure.
Blowing up bunkers was impossible, and there were no bunkers to blow up now.
But blowing up armored vehicles? He was definitely interested in that.
As they moved through the jungle, the headquarters didn’t continue to focus on Wang Ye.
The scene shifted, and the staff continued to watch the operations in other areas.
Tonight, the entire reconnaissance battalion was deployed to attack three infantry regiments under its command.
The most intense fighting was undoubtedly happening right now.
So they couldn’t just leave here and go to sleep.
So, you knew about this beforehand?”
On Wu Jianfeng’s side, in Class 8, several of them were sitting, taking drags from the cigarettes Wang Ye had just handed out. They listened to Peng Yuhang’s words and were at a loss for words.
Peng Yuhang glanced over at Wu Jianfeng, who was leaning against a tree, smoking, then whispered to his comrades nearby, “Actually, I have another secret!”
His voice was barely audible.
Then, he proceeded to reveal what he had seen earlier when Wang Ye had thrown several hand grenades next to Wu Jianfeng.
Immediately, everyone was speechless.
“Peng, it’s enough that a few of us know about this, okay?” Li Bing quietly cautioned him.
“Yeah, yeah!”
Peng Yuhang nodded hastily.
In fact, he hadn’t really thought about it before.
But because of the distance, he had actually seen Wang Ye continuously throwing the grenades.
Of course, he hadn’t mentioned it to Wu Jianfeng.
Now, suddenly remembering, he felt anxious not to say it, so he told a few of his classmates.
“Hey, did you guys not notice just now? Why does Wang Ye have the Second Lieutenant badge on his shoulder?” At this moment, Wei Qinghai couldn’t help but say this quietly.
Luo Yang looked over, a bit uncertain, and whispered, “Could it be someone else’s, and he just put it on for fun?”
In exercises, changing uniforms wasn’t uncommon.
Regardless of which side, if they killed the enemy, they might require them to take off their clothes and change uniforms to infiltrate the enemy’s ranks. This was a common practice.
But Wang Ye’s operation, where he clearly hadn’t changed clothes but had only changed his rank insignia, was a bit puzzling!
“I don’t think so, Brother Wang didn’t even change his clothes!” Peng Yuhang muttered quietly to his friends.
Then he continued, “Is it possible that it’s Brother Wang’s own?”
“Nonsense, it’s only been a few days, and he’s been promoted ahead of schedule by two ranks!” Li Bing’s immediate reaction was that it couldn’t be true.
Wang Ye had only been in the military for less than a year. Becoming a private first class was reasonable, especially after performing well. But now claiming to be a second lieutenant was simply unbelievable.
At this moment, in fact, other small groups in the class were also quietly discussing these matters.
However, many people would rather believe that Wang Ye had pretended to be a second lieutenant and promoted himself rather than believe that he had actually become one.
Of course, whether they believed it or not didn’t really affect Wang Ye at this moment.
Currently, Wang Ye was hiding behind a large tree, with a rocket launcher ready in his hands.
He and Wen Xiaoman encountered another group of people on their way to the mountain for their evacuation.
In the woods ahead, at least a platoon of soldiers were conducting a search.
Wang Ye didn’t know which company they belonged to, but he didn’t need to know.
He aimed the rocket launcher directly at them.
Although he was carrying a Type 88 sniper rifle, he didn’t intend to use it.
The Type 88 sniper rifle was meant for long-range sniping, to compensate for the lack of long-range firepower when he had the Type 05 before.
Now, with a distance of only a few tens of meters between them, the 80mm rocket launcher would be much more effective.
“Click!
Pulling the trigger, the rocket launcher emitted a small noise.
In exercises, actual rocket launches were impossible with the rocket launcher.
It was a simulated attack weapon using laser signals.
When Wang Ye pulled the trigger, it only activated the laser device on the rocket launcher combined with the ammunition, producing a small noise.
In reality, this was a bug in exercises.
When firearms were fired, even with blank rounds, they made noise.
However, in this case, since it was impossible to fire live rockets and there were no blank rocket rounds in exercises, this simulated attack with lasers resulted in no sound, no smoke, and no fire – a genuine “three-no” product.
Of course, the exercise command had clear regulations against using rocket launchers while lying still and pretending to be a sniper.
After firing a shot, one had to voluntarily relocate, not lie there without moving and continuously use the rocket launcher as if it were a sniper’s magic weapon.
“Huh? What’s going on? Why is there smoke coming out of you?”
“Wait, you’re also smoking?”
At this moment, among the soldiers in the platoon in the front of the forest, some were looking at their comrades in surprise.
But in the next second, a veteran’s face changed, and he shouted angrily, “Damn it, enemy attack, rocket launcher!”
Privates and private first-class soldiers with little exercise experience might not have reacted yet, but veterans weren’t like them.
A group of people quickly lay down and even looked for cover nearby.
Some even started cursing directly, “Damn, where did these cowards come from? Come out and face us if you have the guts.”
They were frustrated by this silent and unexpected attack.
Then, in the next moment, they heard it.
On their side, a series of slight pop-pop sounds of Type 05 rifles rang out.
“Damn, it’s coming from this side…” someone shouted, and others quickly changed their positions behind cover and started firing.
At this moment, they didn’t care about the fact that laser simulation shots could be blocked by trees and even leaves.
They just wanted to fire first to scare off the attackers.
They hadn’t realized that on the other side, there was another trick up their sleeve.
After firing the rocket, Wang Ye immediately threw the launcher to the ground and quickly moved forward.
After covering some distance, Wang Ye started to retrieve hand grenades.
He had brought thirty hand grenades with him.
Excluding smoke grenades, there were over twenty explosive hand grenades.
Currently…
“Bang, bang! Bang…”
A one-man mortar, Wang Ye vividly demonstrated how to use this term.
One after another, he threw over twenty hand grenades.
Waging war to sustain war, he wasn’t worried that he would run out of grenades now. After this round of explosions, he would collect from these guys later.
“Fuck!”
“Watch out for the grenades!”
“Ouch!”
Some even cried out as the grenades hit them directly on the head.
Of course, there was no problem as they were all wearing helmets. When the grenades hit their heads, it just made a loud noise.
Even if an explosion occurred directly above their heads, it was no big deal. At most, it was like a firework exploding above their heads.
As long as the explosion didn’t happen right on their faces, there was no possibility of injury.
And if it did explode close to their faces, any minor injuries would simply be attributed to bad luck, and they would be sent to the hospital for some free time off.
In military exercises, it was impossible to completely eliminate the possibility of injuries. In fact, military exercises often had casualty targets.
At the moment, Wang Ye and his partner’s ambush had completely disoriented them.
However, the soldiers in this platoon now knew the direction of the other enemy.
They could see where the grenades were coming from.
But it was too late for everything.
With over twenty grenades, along with the previous rocket launcher shot and the ambush with a Type 05 submachine gun, there was not a single person in their group whose head wasn’t emitting smoke now.
Of course, out of caution, Wang Ye quickly circled the perimeter to inspect their condition, making sure to count the number of smoking individuals against the number he had seen earlier.
Only after confirming that the number of smoking individuals matched the count from before did he walk out with a grin.
“You’re despicable!”
Watching Wang Ye emerge, a lieutenant in their group glared at him with anger.
Wang Ye didn’t know him, but he assumed that he was probably a platoon leader because there was also a captain in their group. If he were the company commander, he wouldn’t be separated from the captain or the instructor while the platoons were divided.
At this moment, the captain was also standing there with a stern face. He didn’t recognize Wang Ye, and he wasn’t even familiar with Wang Ye’s voice.
In fact, Wang Ye didn’t recognize him either. He was likely not from the Second Company.
Of course, at this moment, Wang Ye didn’t need to worry about which battalion he belonged to. The main focus was to secure the captured supplies and make a quick getaway.
However, at this moment, one of the soldiers among them suddenly looked at Wang Ye with a puzzled expression and said, “Wang Ye?”
“Hmm?” Wang Ye turned his head to look.
Immediately, the man looked astonished and said, “Is it really you?”
He widened his eyes, and at this point, Wang Ye was also a bit speechless.
He recognized him; this was a comrade from the training brigade, a fellow soldier from Eighth Company. The training brigade wasn’t in the same platoon, but they were in adjacent platoons.
Awkward.
He had been recognized.
Of course, now that he had been recognized, Wang Ye didn’t see any reason to hide it deliberately.
“Hehe, it’s the Eighth Company, huh? Sorry about that, bro!” Wang Ye apologized with a smile.
At this moment, everyone on the opposite side was actually a bit bewildered.
Just a moment ago, they had been seething with anger, and now they were staring in astonishment.
Wang Ye? Could this really be Wang Ye?
Most of them hadn’t seen Wang Ye in person before, but they had seen his pictures in the newspapers.
“I heard you went to the Reconnaissance Regiment at the Divisional Headquarters? 1 didn’t expect that, in just a few days, you would be back with the old unit,” the captain among them spoke up.
Wang Ye looked at him and shrugged with a hint of helplessness.
“I didn’t want to either! But I’m a soldier, and I was transferred to the Reconnaissance Company, and then the Reconnaissance Company had this mission. What do you think I should do?”
“That’s true,” the captain also understood.
He wanted to continue speaking, but Wang Ye was not in the mood for small talk right now.
He quickly interrupted and said, “Sorry, brothers, but time is of the essence, and I have to go now.
Come here…
I’ve run out of hand grenades just now. Brothers, can you lend me some hand grenades?
Oh, and your Type 80 rocket launcher rounds, can I borrow two to replenish my stock?”
Wang Ye approached them with a friendly smile but didn’t get too close to the group.
The hand grenades had just exploded, and magnetic powder might still be floating in the air. He didn’t want to risk walking into it and becoming a target..
