Chapter 365: Professional Offense

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Pop! Pop-!”

“Bang-!”

“Bang-!”

Gunshots and the subsequent continuous explosions echoed.

On the originally quiet mountain road, the company commander, who had been resting inside the infantry fighting vehicle below, almost instantly sat up.

Then…

Ouch-!

Clutching his head, the company commander’s tears welled up in the next moment.

It hurt so much.

But now, he couldn’t afford to dwell on that. After checking that there was no bleeding, he held his head and looked at the rear of the vehicle, shouting, “What’s the situation?”

“Report, sir, enemy attack!”

The communication officer on guard duty beside the vehicle quickly ran over to reply.

“Of course, I didn’t know it was an enemy attack?” the company commander scolded, then continued to ask, “Where are the gunshots and explosions coming from?”

As he spoke, the company commander prepared to go out.

But in the next moment, the communication officer blocked the door, saying, “Sir, it’s dangerous outside. Don’t go out for now. The source of the explosions is from the position of the second machine gun.

Besides, it seems like there are also sounds coming from the mountain patrol team!”

“Quick, Yi Kai, where the hell is he? Take some men and go over to support!”

The company commander gave the order, and without thinking about going out again, he directly turned and walked to the gunner’s position.

The infantry fighting vehicle also had the capability for counterattack operations, and this capability was quite formidable.

Take, for example, the Type 86A that the company commander was riding in. It was equipped with a 30mm automatic cannon and a coaxial machine gun.

In reality, this firepower was disastrous for infantry, but to cause a disaster, you needed to see where the enemy was.

Right now, the company commander knew where the enemy was. fr(e)enovelkiss.com

However, whether it was the automatic cannon or the machine gun, they were both laser simulations.

They weren’t real projectiles; they couldn’t penetrate the grass and mud.

Moreover, even if it were a real battle, he couldn’t fire right now.

There were his own soldiers on top.

All he could do at this moment was prepare. If the enemy was forced to reveal themselves within his line of sight, he wouldn’t hold back.

At this moment, the company commander had absolutely no idea that his platoon was facing a self-propelled mortar.

He hadn’t even seen anyone, and already a dozen or so grenades were raining down on the position.

Then, there were not only grenade explosions above, but also smoke grenades spreading thick smoke.

This wasn’t a mistake made by Wen Xiaoman.

She did this on purpose.

She was alone, and even though the grenades had just exploded, she wouldn’t charge directly into the position now.

So, among the grenades, she had included a few smoke grenades, and now that she had thrown them all, she circled around the position and ran to a spot where she could see the three-way intersection below, raising her prepared rocket launcher.

“Vehicle damaged, vehicle locked…”

“Vehicle…”

The vehicle, which had already stalled, now sounded an alarm from within.

At the same time, smoke was billowing out from the vehicle on the outside.

This was because the exercise device on the vehicle had been triggered.

Of course, the infantry fighting vehicle had more than one laser receiver, and the threshold for setting off the alarms on the vehicle’s laser receivers was quite high.

Rifles, and even sniper rifles, were unlikely to trigger it.

However, now, there was an 8omm rocket launcher.

In this moment, the company commander, who had originally been preparing to counterattack with the vehicle-mounted automatic cannon, was alarmed and quickly got up to prepare to go outside.

They couldn’t stay in the vehicle.

This was just the damaged mode.

If another two rounds came later and triggered an explosion alarm, he would still be declared dead while inside the vehicle.

“Damn it, there’s a rocket launcher, find it for me!”

The company commander shouted loudly into the radio as he moved outside.

At this moment, the personnel from the second battalion who were left on this side were starting to panic.

Everyone quickly ran towards the position.

But at this moment, Wang Ye on the other side gently pulled the trigger.

ii

Pop-”

The Type 88 sniper rifle made a crisp sound in the tense situation not far behind them.

The laser simulator on the gun emitted a laser signal.

“Com… Company Commander!”

The communication officer who had not left the vehicle looked at the company commander, who had just gotten out of the vehicle, with a bewildered expression.

The company commander himself was also shaken.

The smoke device on top of his hat, although it didn’t make much noise when it emitted smoke, was still worn on his head. In a state of high tension, he could sense the smoke to some extent.

He raised his head.

Immediately, he saw the red smoke floating above his head.

In an instant, the company commander felt like a deflated balloon, and he slumped down on the armored vehicle that was still emitting smoke.

“Company Commander!”

“I’m already ‘killed in action’!” The company commander spoke weakly and didn’t look at him again.

In this moment, the company commander’s heart felt empty.

“Training is like real combat,” that’s the motto in the military.

Although in this era, in many cases, this motto was just words, such as in large-scale red vs. blue exercises, where the outcome was predetermined to be a red victory. In such cases, those assigned to the blue side often had no motivation to participate in the exercise.

But this wasn’t one of those cross-unit red vs. blue exercises. This was a test from the division headquarters.

In this kind of confrontation, there was no script to follow.

If you didn’t perform well and had no achievements, it would definitely have an impact on your personal future.

You could say that at this moment, the company commander felt like it wasn’t a virtual laser signal, but a real bullet hitting him in the forehead.

Of course, Wang Ye didn’t have time to worry about his current mood.

Seeing the smoke rising from the company commander’s head, Wang Ye bolstered his weapon and got up.

“Let’s go!”

The gunshot had already exposed Wang Ye’s position, so there was no need for him to hide anymore.

After shouting in the direction of the enemy position, Wang Ye promptly threw several smoke grenades all around him.

Time to make a run for it.

Two fists were no match for four hands, especially now that he had incapacitated the company commander.

No need to say more; the remaining soldiers would definitely go crazy and charge over, and they would also call for reinforcements.

There were patrol vehicles on the main road, so if they called for help, the vehicles would come.

Wang Ye did need the company commander’s insignia, but he couldn’t retrieve it now.

First, run, and then pull off a turnaround in a couple of hours. It would be the same.

Quickly, Wang Ye dashed into the jungle.

On the other hand, Wen Xiaoman was also on the move, and she didn’t rendezvous with Wang Ye.

She ran in a different direction.

The two had already agreed on a meeting point, so now they were running separately, diverting the pursuers’ attention.

“Damn it, over there!”

“Chase them and kill them!”

“Pop! Pop-”

Behind him, curses, shouts, and gunfire continued, and Wang Ye looked back while running.

He couldn’t see anyone. The terrain was steep, with many trees, and Wang Ye had deliberately chosen these places with cover to run through. He couldn’t see the pursuers at all, but Wang Ye didn’t dare to stop.

Although he had thought about using grenades to set some traps, time was too tight.

“What? The second company commander is ‘killed in action’?”

In the regimental command post, the regimental commander still hadn’t slept.

In fact, no one else had either.

At times like this, they couldn’t afford to sleep. They needed to monitor the situation constantly to make tactical adjustments as needed.

However, the regimental commander hadn’t expected to receive bad news so soon after daybreak.

The Iron Bones Hero Regiment had lost its first regimental-level military commander.

His face turned ashen, and the regimental commander clenched his fists.

He didn’t scold the second company commander because he had already heard the situation reported by the communication officer in front of him and knew how the second company commander had met his end.

Looking at the equally grim-faced chief of staff, he said, “It looks like the road wasn’t blocked off!”

The chief of staff responded in a deep voice, “Actually, this was inevitable. Our regiment alone can’t completely seal off such a large area.”

After a pause, the chief of staff continued, “But this is actually a good sign. It means they can’t withstand our pressure. Now that it’s daylight, the initiative should be on our side.”

“Yes!” The regimental commander nodded and then gave the order directly, “Execute Plan C!”

The regimental headquarters had not moved from its location throughout the night.

Naturally, there were attempts to infiltrate and carry out decapitation actions during the night.

But none had succeeded.

The regimental headquarters had a guard platoon and some direct subordinate units. Leveraging the advantageous position of being stationed at the training ground and having an underground command post, infiltration was nearly impossible. Moreover, the password at the regimental headquarters changed every half an hour, and to prevent infiltration, anyone coming from outside had to undergo strict verification.

No vehicles were allowed in, only out.

Under these circumstances, infiltration was basically a pipe dream.

As for snipers, that was out of the question as well. The regimental commander and his team would never expose themselves outside.

“Hmm?”

On Wang Ye’s side, he was currently standing behind a large tree on a semi-hill, but for a while, he didn’t see anyone chasing from the direction he had come.

What’s going on?

Wang Ye was a bit puzzled.

Lost the pursuers?

That couldn’t be possible, right? With the way he had been sprinting all the way and leaving traces behind, they couldn’t be so incompetent as to lose track of him, could they?

But the reality was absurd. Wang Ye stayed hidden behind the tree for nearly ten minutes and still didn’t see anyone catching up.

He considered going back to see what was happening, but thinking about Wen Xiaoman on the other side, Wang Ye decided to turn back and continue running instead.

Another ten minutes or so passed, and after hiding behind a small mound not far from where he had captured the king cobra the previous night, Wang Ye imitated bird calls a few times.

No response.

He called again.

Still no response.

Wang Ye confirmed that Wen Xiaoman hadn’t arrived yet.

Could she have been caught?

Wang Ye’s mind raced, and as he was about to give up, he saw someone on the other side moving, and then that person quickly moved over using cover.

“Coo-coo~”

“I’m here!”

Wen Xiaoman had just called out from behind a nearby tree when Wang Ye approached and responded.

“Sorry for keeping you waiting. I noticed they were retreating, so I followed them!” Wen Xiaoman came over and crouched next to Wang Ye.

“And then?”

Wang Ye asked directly.

“They must have received new operational orders. I saw them regrouping and heading into the mountains!”

“Hmm?” Wang Ye was surprised. “All of them?”

“Yes, all of them!”

“What about my company commander and the others?”

“The deceased are naturally still in their original positions!”

“Let’s go, let’s go back and see!”

Wang Ye acted immediately.

They had all gone into the mountains, and that undoubtedly meant there were orders from the regimental headquarters. Wang Ye couldn’t know the specifics of those orders, but he didn’t need to right now. What he knew was that they had all left, and the “deceased” were still there.

“Are you… not thinking of searching for corpses again?” Watching Wang Ye run past her, Wen Xiaoman looked at him strangely.

After all, if that was true, it meant he was searching for his direct superior. Did he have such audacity?

Well, it seemed like he did, considering he had previously gone to his platoon leader.

Now that the company commander had returned, it seemed reasonable to do the same…

“Yes, maybe you should wait here for me, take a rest, and I’ll come back after I’m done!” Wang Ye stopped and turned back to say.

“Forget it, I ll go with you!” Wen Xiaoman decided not to rest. Reconnaissance soldiers could handle fatigue, and even though she had been up all night, she now wanted to see if Wang Ye, her company commander, would react violently to the guy who had disobeyed orders.

“Alright!”

Wang Ye didn’t care how she felt; he turned around and continued running..
