Hey, she’s looking for you!” Beside Wang Ye, Qiu Shuang nudged Wang Ye and chuckled softly.

I’m here! ” Wang Ye didn’t hesitate and replied right away.

Immediately, the two girls at the back of the car turned their attention towards them.

Of course, they couldn’t see anything; the interior of the car was pitch dark.

But soon enough, they lowered the night vision goggles on their helmets.

Wang Ye felt a bit perplexed. Was this really necessary?

However, he wasn’t afraid to be seen by them.

He just smiled at them.

With faces smeared with paint, there wasn’t much to make out anyway.

Even now, in the night vision goggles’ view, everyone appeared pretty much the same.

All covered in paint.

But then, another female soldier pulled our a tactical flashlight and shone it in his direction.

Wang Ye immediately turned his head.

It wasn’t that he was throwing a tantrum; it was just that the flashlight was blinding.

Hehe, Wang Ye, come on, let us take a look, get acquainted!” The female soldier with the flashlight giggled.

Her words made it seem as if there weren’t a car full of male soldiers and just the two of them were female soldiers. It felt like Wang Ye had fallen into a spider’s web.

It’s too bright; can’t your night vision goggles handle this?” Wang Ye raised his hand to shield his eyes and turned back.

Others laughed heartily.

The female soldier, upon hearing this, put away the flashlight.

I can’t see clearly with the night vision goggles, but forget it; I’ll take a look during the daytime, Wang Ye, do you know how to infiltrate now? If we need infiltration tomorrow, should I cooperate with you?”

Wow, Miss Dominator, are you setting your sights on our Wang Ye?”

Suddenly, a strange voice came from inside the car.

Hmph, and what if 1 am?”

To be honest, Wang Ye was a bit stunned by this woman.

He wasn’t exactly a novice in the ways of rhe world, having encountered many women in his life.

But this tiger-like woman was truly a rare breed.

Forger it! 1 still can’t recognize faces below makeup. Besides, I feel like my chances of success with makeup and infiltration are pretty low. After all, makeup doesn’t change my face. If I were to infiltrate, rhe risk of exposure would be too high!”

Wang Ye casually came up with a fitting response.

Hehe, I can help you with makeup. You can trust my skills. After I’m done, even if you walk up to your company commander, he won’t recognize you!”

At that moment, another girl chuckled and spoke, “Hehe, once we get there, if we have a chance, we can give it a try!”

Wang Ye glanced at her with some skepticism, “Are you that good? Are you planning to give me a whole new face?”

He he, when we get there, if there’s an opportunity, we can see if it’s possible!”

Wang Ye fell silent for a moment but then said, “Alright!”

Makeup and infiltration would require leaving behind weapons and equipment. If that’s the case, it could be quite nice. He could go back to his old squad and try to relax as much as possible.

However, at that very moment, something unexpected happened. Wang Ye suddenly went slightly blank. The system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up.

Mission reminder: Victory in battle, seize victory. Mission requirement: Obtain the armbands of one soldier, one lieutenant, and one colonel. Mission reward: Two skill points.”

Wang Ye was rendered speechless in an instant. The system hadn’t issued any missions for a long time, even during the previous martial arts competition. But now, during a military exercise, a mission had suddenly appeared.

And it required him to eliminate one soldier, one lieutenant, and one colonel.

The kicker was that it was in the Iron Bones Hero Regiment!

Soldiers might be relatively easy to find, with so many in the regiment, but the lieutenant and colonel were a different story.

The lieutenant might not be much of a problem, as there were plenty in the regiment, and Wang Ye wouldn’t have any psychological barriers as long as he didn’t target the Fourth Company.

However, colonels were a rarity.

If he managed to take one out, would the regiment commander come looking for him with the reconnaissance regiment? Wang Ye couldn’t help but shrink back at the thought.

But in the next moment, Wang Ye thought about it differently. If he eliminated other company commanders, his own company commander should be pleased. After all, he was still a soldier of the Second Comapny, Fourth Platoon. Normally, the various companies were competitive with each other, so if he eliminated their commanders…

From a different perspective, regardless of the regiment commander, would the company commanders and Wu Jianfeng be pleased?

As Wang Ye pondered this, the vehicle began to move.

With a press of the accelerator pedal, three trucks, led by the Dongfeng Warrior driven by the female soldiers up front, set off together under the cover of darkness.

For this operation, rhe female reconnaissance squad was cooperating with the male soldiers. Not only the Second Company but also the other two reconnaissance companies would have female soldiers supporting them.

A mix of men and women often caught the enemy off guard.

This time, it s probably going to be tough for Old Hong!

In the division headquarters’ command and operations room, the large screen was currently divided into three views.

These were from the three reconnaissance companies.

Just like the last attack on the Iron Bones Hero Regiment, everyone had cameras on them.

Of course, they hadn’t started fighting yet, so there was only one company’s view being displayed on the big screen.

The division commander and chief of staff were both present.

Listening ro rhe comments from nearby, the division commander smiled and said, “We need to teach them a lesson. Only through training for actual combat can they make real progress!”

The division commander was aware of the training status of the subordinate regiments. They had been too comfortable for too long, enjoying a period of peace. Their training had become routine. Although this year, at his request they had been required to conduct training while carrying out exercise equipment, which made it more rigorous and tense compared to previous years , the troops stationed for training were still not performing as well as he would have liked.

In particular, their alertness during the night was still insufficient. For instance, while these regiments were concentrated in their training areas and had deployed sentries, it still wasn’t enough in his opinion.

However, the Iron Bones Hero Regiment, in the division commander’s view, was doing relatively better. Having suffered losses, they understood the importance of vigilance. Currently, they deployed visible and hidden sentries every night and even planted landmines and alarm devices in the surrounding areas.

Of course, the Second Company wasn’t aware of this level of preparation.

Training wasn’t just about honing the skills of rhe subordinate units but also about testing his own reconnaissance company. The chief of staff spoke up at this point, “The Third Company should be here in about half an hour! ”

The Third and First Companies weren’t originally stationed in the same camp. However, since the reconnaissance company was currently on high alert due to its external operations, they often faced attacks from other companies. Therefore, with a single order, they could immediately spring into action.

Alright,” the division commander nodded.

Then, the chief of staff spoke again, “The Second Company is also moving quickly. They should arrive ar the training location of rhe Iron Bones Hero Regiment in about an hour and a half!”

The division commander remained silent, and the chief of staff suddenly chuckled, “The Second Company will surely be ruthless this time. I wonder what shape the Iron Bones Hero Regiment will be in after this! Of course, it’s also possible that the Second Company might suffer losses!”

The division commander glanced at him, “Isn’t this what you’re looking forward to?”

Haha! Division commander, I’m starting from the perspective of the overall combat effectiveness of our division. Only by experiencing greater adversity can we make progress, right? Besides, the Iron Bones Hero Regiment is a tough nut to crack. The Second Company might run into trouble this time.”

Hehe!” The division commander chuckled.

The two officers continued their discussion without mentioning Wang Ye much. While Wang Ye was an excellent soldier, he wasn’t the key player in this kind of simulated combat exercise. Currently, he was just a soldier holding a cadre rank.

Inside the vehicle, Wang Ye and his comrades were quiet. The ride tonight was smooth, and Jiang Nan had given the order for everyone to rest through their individual combat systems. Although Wang Ye couldn’t sleep, closing his eyes and resting was still beneficial.

&

Time passed, and around midnight, the vehicle came to a halt. The entire platoon, along with the small team of female soldiers, gathered together.

The Iron Bones Hero Regiment is currently resting on the other side of rhe mountain we re on. To avoid alerting them, we have to stop here. 1 now command…”

Jiang Nan began issuing the operation instructions.

Contrary to what Wang Ye and the female soldier had thought about makeup and infiltration earlier, it wasn’t necessary at this point. It might be needed later, but the initial phase of the operation was based on surprise.

The entire platoon moved out together, splitting into four directions. After rendezvousing, they advanced towards the training ground of the Iron Bones Hero Regiment.

Wang Ye s squad, led by Jiang Nan, was one of the teams.

Stop!

In the forest, as Jiang Nan led the group, he suddenly raised his hand and spoke softly.

Immediately, everyone behind him stopped in their tracks.

Well, there are landmines here. What was the Iron Bones Hero Regiment thinking?¹‘ Jiang Nan commented in a hushed voice, puzzled by the discovery of landmines in the area.

Among the squad members following Jiang Nan, Luo Yong couldn’t help but make a remark when he saw Jiang Nan clear away the grass in front of him.

What’s your attitude?” He immediately received a scolding for his comment.

Jiang Nan glared at him and then looked at An Ping, saying, “The mindset in your squad needs to change.”

He then looked at everyone and continued, “Let me tell you, we are soldiers, we are reconnaissance soldiers. In unfamiliar terrain, you should always stay vigilant. Your complacency can cost lives, don’t you understand?”

Yes!” An Pint’s face turned serious in an instant.

Watching Luo Yong getting tense, he didn’t speak up. But in Wang Ye’s heart, he sang a silent “Wishing You Safety’¹ for Luo Yong.

This guy, he could have just expressed his surprise inwardly, but he dared to show it in front of the platoon leader. Isn’t that like looking for trouble?

Fortunately, Jiang Nan didn’t have much time to say anything more. He quickly had the communication soldier relay the situation to the other separated units and then took a few steps back himself.

The others did the same, leaving only An Ping to step forward and check for mines.

Honestly, Wang Ye was quite surprised at this moment. It seemed like the Iron Bones Hero Regiment had a really high level of combat readiness. They had planted mines on the outskirts of the mountain at night. However, he didn’t know if they had set up sentries outside the mountains.

To be honest, Wang Ye was feeling a bit nervous right now. Initially, he didn’t want to take action against the Iron Bones Hero Regiment. But now that they were here, even without the mission, he didn’t want to die without achieving anything. It would be embarrassing to be eliminated without any accomplishments, and it would not only be embarrassing for the Recon Company bur also for the Fourth Company.

And Wang Ye couldn’t allow that.

First Squad, send out a reconnaissance patrol!

After An Ping finished clearing the mines, Jiang Nan didn’t immediately lead the team forward. He wanted to be more cautious because it seemed that the Iron Bones Hero Regiment was nor taking this lightly.

Cai Huayu, Ge Hui, you two go ahead and scout the path. Be careful of mines and booby traps; the Iron Bones Hero Regiment is good at this!”

“Yes!

The two of them acknowledged and went ahead.

At this moment, Wang Ye touched his nose and recalled the days when he was planting mines on moonlit nights…

To be honest, Wang Ye had never imagined that the person who planted the mines at the beginning of the year would become the one tiptoeing around them now..
