Chapter 373: Drill Ends, Old Wu and Regiment Commander Are Numb

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Alright, give the orders, announce the end of the drill!”

Around noon, the platoon commander issued the latest orders.

This exercise was just an assessment, not meant to completely wipe out the reconnaissance troops or any subordinate regiment.

The objective this time was simply to observe how the subordinate forces reacted to the reconnaissance platoon’s surprise attack and what tactical changes would follow.

At this point, the tactics of the remaining regiment and the Iron Bones Hero Regiment had already been solidified.

While the regimental headquarters remained vigilant, troops were deployed to search for those reconnaissance soldiers.

The tactics of the reconnaissance soldiers had boiled down to one thing.

Infiltration, penetration, and individual ambushes.

With both sides’ tactics fixed, especially after the tactics of the regiment and the Iron Bones Hero Regiment were established, this assault assessment had already achieved its goals.

“Shouldn’t we give it a little time? Wang Ye doesn’t even know where to go yet.” However, when he heard the commander’s orders at this moment, one of the deputy platoon commanders suddenly laughed and said.

He wanted to see some excitement.

“Haha! This guy must be hiding somewhere right now, maybe even crashing at a local’s place!” someone chuckled and said.

The platoon commander laughed as well.

“This guy is slippery. I have a feeling he won’t show his face during the day today, so let’s just call it off!”

The orders were quickly relayed.

Both the reconnaissance unit and the regiment, as well as the Iron Bones Hero Regiment, received the orders.

Of course, at this moment, both regiments were a bit unwilling.

Especially on the side of the Iron Bones Hero Regiment, many were holding back their frustration. Their regimental headquarters had been shelled by artillery, and their base had even been infiltrated. The regimental commander had been killed. Now, they were being told to end it, how could they accept that?

But orders from the platoon command were orders.

Even if they wanted to wipe out the Second Recon Platoon, they had no chance now.

“Um… Chief, are you not kidding me?”

In the jungle, Jiang Nan was now standing in place with a communications officer. Listening to the voice of the chief of staff on the radio, he was left dumbfounded.

“What do you mean Wang Ye did well this time? He and Wen Xiaoman almost destroyed the Iron Bones Hero Regiment’s command post?”

In the communication device, the chief of staff laughed heartily, “Haha, that’s enough questions for now. Go back and assemble the troops. Oh, and if Wang Ye hasn’t returned to the parking area, report it to me!”

“Um… understood!” Jiang Nan replied after a moment of hesitation.

He understood what the chief of staff meant.

After all, the location where they parked the truck was not a secret; the Iron Bones Hero Regiment had already found it. Given what Wang Ye had done, he might be too afraid to return to that area and take the vehicle.

After all, Wang Ye was different from him and the others.

“The exercise is over. All units, return to the assembly point!”

On Wang Ye’s side, he was currently lying on the computer desk, taking a nap.

Suddenly, a voice from outside startled Wang Ye.

“Wang Ye!” The daughter of the woman sitting nearby had been watching a movie or, rather, using her computer to keep an eye on people entering the internet cafe for Wang Ye.

If there was any trouble, she would alert Wang Ye immediately.

However, there didn’t seem to be any trouble at the moment, but the voice from outside was unexpected.

“1’11 go take a look!”

Wang Ye woke up and spoke softly as he got up from his seat.

He walked to the window and immediately saw a helicopter flying slowly outside. Despite it being midday, there were quite a few people in town, and now everyone was looking up.

However, although there was a lot of discussion about the helicopter’s arrival, people didn’t find it particularly surprising. Most of them knew that the military was conducting exercises.

In fact, an hour ago, military personnel had already started coming into town to inquire and search. They just hadn’t reached the internet cafe where Wang Ye was yet.

“Is it over?”

Wang Ye was a bit surprised by the sudden end, but he also felt relieved inside. He had originally planned to continue participating in the operation later that night. He didn’t expect the exercise to end so soon.

“Are you going back?” a female voice came from behind.

Wang Ye turned around and saw the daughter of the woman with a slightly bitten lip expression.

“Um…”

Wang Ye felt a sudden shock in his heart.

“Thank you, but I’m a soldier, and now that the exercise is over, 1 definitely have to go back!” Wang Ye wasn’t skilled in handling romantic situations, and he felt a bit awkward at this moment.

“Will we have a chance to meet again in the future?”

At this moment, the girl’s demeanor and words made Wang Ye seem like a player. But in all honesty, he hadn’t done anything wrong. It was mainly his military identity and the fact that he looked quite attractive with a clean face that had this effect on the girl.

“I don’t know. I’m a soldier, but 1 will remember that I have a friend like you!”

“Okay!”

The girl bit her lip and lowered her head.

Wang Ye didn’t pay her any more attention.

He made a clear break. Although it might have hurt her feelings a bit, Wang Ye had no intentions of pursuing any further developments. He wasn’t a playboy; he was a soldier, and at the moment, he had no interest in romantic relationships.

He nodded and picked up his bag, heading to the front desk to check out.

“Wait!”

The girl came up from behind.

“I’m also going home. Can you walk me there? 1 need to see if my mom is back, and also, you can get to know my house. In the future, when you pass by, you’re welcome to visit my place!”

“Sure!”
