Chapter 359: Sneak Attack, Team Up!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the wilderness at 2 o’clock in the morning, the autumn wind rustled through the trees, and the incessant chirping of insects and birds filled the surroundings.

Wang Ye sat on a tree branch, holding his rifle, looking alert.

There was no choice; there were ten soldiers from the Iron Bones Hero Regiment patrolling nearby along the river.

He had to stay vigilant in case of any sudden developments and respond immediately.

“Pew pew-”

Suddenly, a faint gunshot echoed in the distance.

Wang Ye was startled and quickly turned upside down again to look in the direction of the gunshot.

“Behind the tree!”

“Be careful!

“Bang bang-” Gunshots mixed with angry shouts.

The sound was no longer distant.

It was at least several dozen meters away.

“Who’s there?” Wang Ye squinted his eyes, pondering this question.

But he didn’t have time to think, as the five soldiers who had originally gone upstream were now running rapidly downstream along the river.

They had also heard the gunshots, and they even had walkie-talkies for direct communication, so they rushed downstream to provide support.

At this moment, they were about to reach the traces Wang Ye had left by the river.

Watching them, Wang Ye quickly turned around in the next moment.

He wasn’t trying to hide; instead, after getting up, he quickly slid down while hugging the tree trunk.

Without going all the way down and with about a meter still above the ground, Wang Ye held onto the tree trunk with one hand and raised his rifle with the other.

“Pew pew~”

The laser sight on the rifle was quickly activated.

The five unsuspecting individuals, upon hearing this sound, were startled. Some of them stared at the smoke above their comrades’ heads in confusion, while others quickly crouched down.

But it was of no use; the five of them were lined up in a row, and Wang Ye happened to be holding onto the tree trunk, slightly higher up.

From this elevated position, he managed to avoid the obstruction of the forest’s branches and leaves for the laser.

With a single burst, they had no chance to escape.

“Damn!”

Someone raised their rifle, using a tactical flashlight to shine towards Wang Ye, who had jumped down from the tree trunk, and he couldn’t help but curse, “You bastard, you didn’t cross the river?”

“You guys are really sneaky!”

Their faces among the group turned extremely grim.

They truly hadn’t expected that the tracks clearly leading downstream would turn out to be false.

Not only were they ambushed downstream, but there was also someone hidden here.

It felt like their intelligence had been ground into the dirt.

They were very annoyed.

A hint of a smile appeared on Wang Ye’s face.

But for now, he completely ignored them, not even bothering to look at them.

He quickly ran diagonally towards the riverbank and followed the tracks left by the other five individuals who had just gone down.

There were no more gunshots below, and Wang Ye didn’t know the situation, so he wanted to check it out.

If his comrades were in trouble, he would definitely seek revenge, and if his comrades had defeated them, he could also go see who had come to join them.

He moved swiftly.

Soon, Wang Ye saw four figures in the grass by the river…

At this moment, they were pulling someone out of the water, and one person had actually fallen into the river.

Looking at the red smoke still lingering above their heads, Wang Ye chuckled and strolled over.

Carrying a camera on his person wasn’t convenient, which was a downside of not being able to retrieve snacks from the space whenever he wanted. However, in times like these, it was also an advantage.

Because he didn’t have to worry about being ambushed by them after taking out a single enemy.

Is it you who ambushed us?”

“Shameless!”

At this moment, Wang Ye stood still.

He touched his nose and looked at the furious gazes of the people in front of him.

“Childish!”

With a sneer, Wang Ye continued to approach.

But so far, he still hadn’t found his comrade.

Either they finished the fight and ran away, or they were still hiding somewhere.

The situation on the scene was clear.

These guys knew by now who had attacked them.

They even misunderstood Wang Ye, who had come out voluntarily. They didn’t realize that the direction Wang Ye had come from was different from the direction of the gunshot that had attacked them.

However, Wang Ye didn’t bother explaining to them.

It would be a good thing if these guys were wiped out.

Moving quickly, Wang Ye spoke directly in the face of their anger, “Give me the hand grenades you have on you, and do you have any landmines? If you have them, give them to me!”

“This is ours!” one of the privates said tersely.

“Now it’s mine!” Wang Ye added quickly, “I have a camera on me. Don’t argue with me. Follow the exercise rules and cooperate!”

“Give it to him!

n

Among them, a corporal reluctantly spoke up.

At this moment, they still didn’t recognize Wang Ye.

If it had been members of the Fourth Company here, even if Wang Ye had a green face and looked nothing like himself, they might have recognized him.

But these were members of the Sixth Company, and they didn’t usually spend much time together.

If Wang Ye’s face had been uncovered and uncamouflaged, they might have found his voice slightly familiar, but they absolutely wouldn’t dare to associate him with Wang Ye now that he had a corporal’s insignia on his chest.

Soon, all five of Wang Ye’s comrades handed over their hand grenades.

It was somewhat disappointing that none of them had brought landmines; they each had the standard equipment of a smoke grenade and three hand grenades, without any flash or concussion grenades. However, while Wang Ye felt a bit disappointed, he didn’t complain; having the hand grenades was good enough.

Afterward, much to the chagrin of his comrades, Wang Ye also confiscated their two messenger bags to carry the hand grenades.

Of course, he casually removed their unit patches as well.

“You bastard!”

As they watched Wang Ye’s disappearing figure, one of the soldiers by the river couldn’t hold back his frustration and cursed.

“Sergeant, where did he come from? And why did it turn out like this? Is he a special forces soldier?” a private asked in a low voice.

“Who should 1 ask if not you?” the corporal replied with annoyance and then sat down.

On Wang Ye’s side, as he was moving, he heard some movement in the nearby jungle.

He stopped immediately.

Soon, a figure emerged from the side.

“Wang Ye!” She was the first to greet him.

“It’s you?” Wang Ye was slightly surprised.

“You stole my credit!” Female soldier Wen Xiaoman said to Wang Ye as soon as she appeared.

She had actually planned to leave as soon as the fight was over, but she had heard some commotion coming from behind and had hesitated for a moment.

Then she saw Wang Ye coming out.

She didn’t go out because she didn’t want to reveal her identity as a female soldier in front of the Sixth Company.

Although these individuals had been eliminated, they weren’t actually dead. If she went out, the fact that there were female soldiers in the attacking team would certainly be exposed.

That’s why, when doing these kinds of operations, the female soldiers’ team always tried to conceal the identity of their female soldiers, making it easier for future missions that might require disguise and infiltration.

“I noticed you didn’t come out, so here you go, I’ll return these to you,” Wang Ye said without any hesitation, handing her the two messenger bags.

“Do you want to team up?” Wen Xiaoman asked, looking at Wang Ye.

“Hmm?” Wang Ye looked at her with some surprise.

Is she really interested in me?

Inwardly, Wang Ye muttered to himself.

But then Wang Ye smiled and said, “Sure!”

If she was actively suggesting forming a team, Wang Ye didn’t mind, especially considering that they claimed to have excellent makeup skills.

Wang Ye hadn’t decided yet whether it was necessary to team up, but it couldn’t hurt.

“Okay, so were there still people over there? Did you take care of them?” Wen Xiaoman approached and took one of the messenger bags from him. “I’m out of grenades now, so 1’11 just take a bag!”

Wang Ye didn’t mind this and replied in a low voice, “Yes, there were five more over there who followed my footsteps, but I’ve dealt with them. Now I’m going to collect their supplies.”

“Alright, 1 won’t go out then.”

“Okay!”

With a brief exchange, Wang Ye continued to run towards the location where he had eliminated those individuals earlier.

There were still five individuals here, and one of them was a lieutenant platoon leader.

Once again, Wang Ye quickly confiscated their hand grenades and unit patches under their disgruntled expressions.

“Do you have any plans for what to do next?” Wen Xiaoman asked when Wang Ye walked back into the jungle.

“I want to go back and pick up the equipment of those guys we just took out!” Wang Ye didn’t hide anything.

The mission was now two-thirds completed, but the last third was the most challenging.

Under normal circumstances, officers at the regimental level wouldn’t personally lead troops all over the mountains.

So currently, Wang Ye had two options.

He could either roam outside and try his luck, or he could find a way to infiltrate the Iron Bones Hero Regiment.

Wang Ye was somewhat resistant to the idea of infiltration.

Although he had shown no mercy when fighting against Wu Jianfeng, he didn’t want to use the infiltration method, whether it had a chance of success or not.

After all, he was still a soldier of the Iron Bones Hero Regiment. If he managed to infiltrate and eliminate any of the regimental officers, it would be fine if it were a major or a lieutenant colonel, but if he happened to run into the brigade commander or the chief of staff, it would be a disgrace for the Iron Bones Hero Regiment.

This wasn’t the same as fighting Wu Jianfeng; the consequences would be much more severe.

So, in reality, he only had one option: to go back and pick up the rocket launcher, then roam outside and try to find the regimental commander who was leading troops out.

However, Wen Xiaoman didn’t know Wang Ye’s thoughts.

When she heard Wang Ye’s words, she widened her eyes and said, “You still want to pick up more stuff?”

She was a bit speechless as she looked at Wang Ye, who had just grabbed two more messenger bags and hand grenades. She felt like Wang Ye had a fear of firepower.

“Is it necessary to pick up more? We already have plenty. Going back there to pick up more is excessive. There are dozens of people over there, and they didn’t lose much in the previous exchange,” Wen Xiaoman said, somewhat perplexed.

If he went back to pick up more, it could easily add up to a hundred or two hundred pieces.

“What are you planning to do? Fight with hand grenades?” Wen Xiaoman asked with a hint of helplessness.

No, I’m not going to pick up more hand grenades!” Wang Ye knew the female soldier had misunderstood.

He smiled and explained, “We have enough hand grenades. What I’m going back for is to pick up their RPG-7 rocket launcher. These guys didn’t even bring any 40mm grenades, but I saw someone over there with one. I’ll grab it and get some more ammunition. I plan to set up an ambush by the roadside.”

Oh…” The female soldier hesitated.

In fact, she had her own plan.

Her plan was to withdraw.

The training grounds of the Iron Bones Hero Regiment were in the wilderness, but that didn’t mean there were no nearby villages or towns.

She was planning to go there, disguise herself, and wait for an opportunity to act.

However, seeing Wang Ye’s enthusiasm, she hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded. “Okay, I’ll go with you.”

“Great!” Wang Ye nodded with a smile.

Having a helper was the best.

Wang Ye had already obtained the rank insignias of the lieutenant and the soldiers, which saved him from the awkward situation of having to ask Wu Jianfeng for them later.

After all, asking for some equipment was one thing, but taking off someone’s rank insignia, especially if he had to come back later to grab it, would surely infuriate Old Wu..
