Chapter 370: Greeting the Regiment Commander with the Anti-aircraft Gun!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“They really dare to do it!”

“Hehe, I’m quite looking forward to whether their plan will succeed now.

If it really does, I wonder if Wang Ye will undergo a three-tier interrogation from squad leader to company commander.”

“Haha, drag him into the interrogation room, and the squad, company, and platoon commanders can all give him a good beating together!”

The division headquarters, including the division commander, who had stayed up all night, showed no signs of fatigue on their faces.

On the contrary, they were all in a rather cheerful mood.

There was nothing they could do; the amusement was somewhat delightful, and what Wang Ye was doing now added an extra layer of anticipation.

The anti-aircraft gun was set up on the hill.

The barrel was aimed at the Iron Bones Training Camp over there.

Of course, if it were just that, everyone would be amused, but it wouldn’t be as amusing as it is now.

The main reason was the plan that Wang Ye just mentioned to Wen Xiaoman. They all heard it.

Wang Ye actually asked a female soldier like Wen Xiaoman to change into civilian clothes.

Disguise herself as a local woman’s daughter, and then after Wang Ye fired the artillery and created chaos, she would follow the local woman to the Iron Bones Hero Regiment to demand compensation for the damaged sugarcane.

It’s like ordering bamboo shoots for delivery, and the shoots arrive at your doorstep.

You crush the sugarcane of your fellow villagers, then you bombard them with artillery, and later you send a fellow villager to demand money from the victims.

The crucial point is that besides asking for money, you also have a hidden female reconnaissance soldier among the people demanding compensation.

Now, the division commander and the others were all very curious whether Wen Xiaoman and the others would succeed later.

If he really gets to meet the company commander, that would be quite something.

Their eyes widened one by one.

Meanwhile, on the hill, Wang Ye’s eyes also widened slightly.

“What? Don’t recognize me?”

Wen Xiaoman and the young girl who had been cutting sugarcane returned.

By now, both of them had changed their outfits.

The girl who had been cutting sugarcane was wearing Wen Xiaoman’s clothes, and she even had makeup on her face. She was holding the Type 05 rifle that belonged to Wen Xiaoman.

At this moment, she was excitedly showing off to her mother by her side.

Joining the military, especially for female soldiers, was really tough.

The recruitment criteria published may not seem high, but because there were so few slots for female soldiers, the saying “finding a needle in a haystack” wasn’t an exaggeration.

So, the girl was now wearing military attire, which belonged to a soldier, and holding a soldier’s weapon, which made her genuinely excited.

Of course, Wang Ye was now looking at Wen Xiaoman.

This was the first time he had seen her without makeup.

It had to be said that Wen Xiaoman was indeed very attractive.

Without makeup, her oval face had clear contours, her facial features were well-defined, and just by looking at her face, she exuded a sense of youthful grace. With her wheat-colored skin, she had an added sense of elegance and confidence.

She was smiling and raised an eyebrow at Wang Ye, who chuckled and said, “Well, indeed, I almost didn’t recognize you!”

“Hmph!”

She let out a light snort, took off her military uniform, and changed into regular girl’s clothes, as if reverting to a normal girl’s personality.

But soon enough, she regained her composure.

Approaching the anti-aircraft gun, she spoke to Wang Ye, “Stop dilly-dallying. Load the rounds quickly.”

The anti-aircraft gun had a magazine, and it fired blanks.

Of course, there was also a laser simulation emitter mounted on it now.

Blanks, in this case, were just for the noise.

However, even with blanks, the firepower was still significant at close range.

For regular firearms with blanks, firing at people within five meters during exercises was not allowed.

But with this weapon, even at a flat angle, it was clear that no one could stand within dozens of meters in front of it.

Of course, now they were targeting the training camp on the other side, and they could easily fire from a couple of kilometers away.

Soon, the rounds were loaded, and Wang Ye quickly got into the vehicle, dragging the anti-aircraft gun a bit further forward.

They hadn’t placed it directly in position just now, as having an unobstructed line of fire from here meant that the other side could also see them.

Once all preparations were in place, Wang Ye began to pull the anti-aircraft gun up the hill.

In fact, as the vehicle was pulling the gun up, personnel on duty in the camp noticed the situation on this side.

“Huh? What’s going on? Why is there a vehicle driving up the hill over there?”

Someone expressed their surprise.

“I don’t know, I’ll go ask the platoon leader.”

Two kilometers away, even with an unobstructed line of sight, they couldn’t see too clearly, but they could vaguely make out a vehicle on the hill over there.

However, when their platoon leader looked through binoculars, he was immediately shocked.

Because when he looked, the vehicle had just moved away, revealing the anti-aircraft gun behind it, with the barrel aimed at their camp.

“Quick, sound the alarm!”

The platoon leader of the guard unit shouted.

Although he saw that it was their own division’s anti-aircraft gun, the fact that the barrel was aimed at their own camp, in that location, was definitely not something that soldiers from their own division could do.

However, before his voice had even fully fallen, there were muffled explosions from the other side.

The sound of the anti-aircraft gun was quite loud, and in a situation with no obstructions for two kilometers, the sound could be heard clearly.

“What’s going on?”

In the underground command post, which was basically just a hole dug in the ground, covered with wood and oilcloth on top, and filled with earth, the sounds from outside naturally penetrated inside.

“Bad news, Commander… We have an anti-aircraft gun positioned to the north, firing at us from a high point!”

Someone rushed in to report the situation.

In that moment, the faces of the division commander and his staff turned pale.

“Commander, there’s a call from the exercise headquarters!”

At this time, inside the command post, someone stood up to report.

“What are you standing around for? Do you want me to personally go blow up that anti-aircraft gun?” The commander shouted angrily with a dark expression.

After shouting, he walked over to the phone to answer the call.

At the same time.

On the hill, after Wang Ye quickly emptied the two ammo boxes of the anti-aircraft gun, he didn’t pay any more attention to the gun. Instead, he ran back into the Type 86A armored vehicle.

Inside the vehicle, there were already three people waiting.

Wen Xiaoman and the mother and daughter.

“Sit tight and hold on, don’t bump into anything!”

After Wang Ye got into the driver’s seat, he turned back and reminded them.

After all, there were two locals inside the vehicle.

“Oh… o-okay!”

The girl who was wearing Wen Xiaoman’s military uniform was clearly nervous and a bit excited now. She hadn’t expected that she would have such a bizarre experience today. Not only did she get to wear a female soldier’s uniform, but she also got to ride in a military vehicle.

As for her mother, she appeared even more nervous. She tightly clenched her fists and placed them on her thighs, looking at Wen Xiaoman and saying, “Little sister, will this vehicle make us dizzy or sway?”

Wang Ye didn’t pay any more attention to the conversation behind him. He started the vehicle and drove away.

Actually, Wang Ye’s original plan was to engage in a battle here.

However, now, because he had to execute the infiltration plan and he was the only one doing it, he couldn’t simultaneously operate both the anti-aircraft gun and the armored vehicle.

So, he chose to run away after emptying the two ammo boxes.

He couldn’t see the extent of his achievements, and there might not even be any achievements, but Wang Ye didn’t care.

He had come here just to make some noise and give a signal to the division commander. Now that he had given the signal, he needed to slip away. As for what happened next, it would depend on Wen Xiaoman’s performance.

“What a mess! Who brings locals along like this!”

At the division headquarters, a deputy division commander frowned and said this.

But as soon as he said that, the chief of staff beside him burst into laughter. “Haha, adapt to the situation. In real combat, you have to consider all external factors, and locals are also a force on the battlefield that cannot be ignored!”

The division commander also glanced at the deputy division commander and then smiled lightly. “There’s nothing wrong with it. Our country has come this far with the help of locals!”

The deputy division commander felt a bit frustrated being double-teamed by the two of them, but after looking at the division commander and chief of staff, he decided not to say anything further.

In fact, what he wanted to say but didn’t express well was that locals shouldn’t be allowed to handle military weapons or ride in military vehicles. However, given the attitudes of the division commander and chief of staff, he knew that saying more wouldn’t make a difference.

“Go, dismantle all the tents and barracks that the personnel are living in today at the campsite. Additionally, you in the guard unit, provide five casualty slots!”

At the regimental headquarters, after hanging up the phone, the regimental commander, with a stern expression, spoke to the captain of the Police Reconnaissance Company present.

“Yes!

The captain of the Police Reconnaissance Company gritted his teeth but could only respond loudly with a somber face.

It’s over!

Tonight, they would have to sleep on the ground under the open sky and feed the mosquitoes, and they didn’t even know how many days they would have to endure it.

In fact, he had been standing next to the regimental commander just now, and he had heard the conversation on the phone.

The Exercise Department had only mentioned that Iron Bones Hero Regiment had been judged to have damaged ten tents, five vehicles, and incurred five casualties. But it hadn’t mentioned the need to dismantle the tents. It was quite obvious that the regimental commander was dissatisfied, which was why he wanted to take down those tents and make everyone sleep on the ground…

On the hill, the Type 86A armored vehicle drove recklessly, and even after descending from the hill, it didn’t follow the original route back. Wang Ye took a small path through the sugarcane field.

Clearly, many sugarcane plants were flattened on both sides of the path.

Of course, the local woman, sitting in the vehicle and observing through binoculars, not only wasn’t upset about the damaged sugarcane but was actually quite delighted. She even shouted towards the front of the vehicle.

“Child, it’s okay. This road is not easy to travel. Why don’t you just drive through the sugarcane field? It’s flat in there!”

However, Wang Ye didn’t listen to her.

This woman was enjoying the ride too much.

He was here to escape the exercise, not to volunteer to harvest sugarcane and buy it.

Soon, they exited the sugarcane field, and the vehicle came to a stop. Then, Wen Xiaoman and the local woman got out of the vehicle, while Wang Ye continued to drive with her daughter.

Wen Xiaoman was now going to demand money from the local woman.

Wang Ye, on the other hand, was responsible for drawing fire away.

At this moment, Wang Ye began to take a detour, especially with a local person in the vehicle.

Wang Ye’s armored vehicle zigzagged, occasionally going up a hill, and circling around the area within three to five kilometers outside of the Iron Bones Hero Regiment’s camp.

Midway through, Wang Ye even hid behind a small mound, extinguished the engine, and waited for the approaching soldiers. As soon as they came closer, he surprised them by using the vehicle’s machine gun.

This situation infuriated the platoon commander and his staff.

However, they had limited forces available at the platoon headquarters, and they couldn’t send everyone out.

In the end, the platoon commander ordered one company to deploy a tank platoon for defense.

“Company Commander?”

On the side of the Iron Bones Hero Regiment’s camp, when the platoon commander ordered a tank to be sent back to pursue the armored vehicle, a soldier from the guard unit found the captain of the Police Reconnaissance Company.

“You damn scoundrel!”

When he heard his subordinate’s report that they had encountered locals on the hill, and that the locals were demanding compensation for damaged sugarcane, the captain of the Police Reconnaissance Company was clenching his fists tightly at that moment.

He wanted to punch someone.

This damn thing made them sleep on the ground at night, and not only that, they had also damaged the local’s sugarcane, and now they were being asked to compensate.

He was very angry, but also somewhat helpless.

However, he could only follow his subordinates to deal with it.

Although it was the fault of the reconnaissance troops from the division headquarters that had caused this trouble, the fact was that they were now driving around in armored vehicles all over the mountains.

Where could he find someone to compensate the locals? They could only temporarily appease the locals and compensate them after the exercise ended.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the locals would agree to wait until after the exercise to resolve the matter. But today, these locals were not just ordinary locals….
