Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Approximately two kilometers away from the supply station, as a vehicle carrying life supplies arrived, it didn’t take long for a certain private who had just received a fresh stack of newspapers to shout in astonishment.

“What?” Yan Zhiming raised his head to look.

“Wang Ye is up to something big again!” Beside him, a sergeant from the second phase chimed in with a smile.

Yan Zhiming’s fellow villager, and everyone already knew who it was without having to think about it!

After all, he was just too famous.

“Let me see… let me see!”

They didn’t bother unloading their gear; it wasn’t urgent for the next few minutes.

They gathered together.

At a glance, they saw the headline of this batch of newspapers.

“Exercises confrontation, Comrade Wang Ye from our unit shines in the attached reconnaissance camp.”

That was the headline, and below it, they introduced Wang Ye’s actions in the previous confrontation exercises.

Of course, it didn’t mention who the people Wang Ye had killed were.

It only said certain company commanders, certain platoon leaders, or even a certain company commander.

However, the incident of the final attack on the headquarters was not concealed or downplayed.

Extensive praise for Wang Ye’s quick thinking, adaptability, and the ability to utilize all factors, flexibly formulating tactics.

Hmm… it didn’t mention the fact that the enemy commander was beheaded.

But even without that, Yan Zhiming was still left in awe.

“So impressive!”

“Damn, reading this gets my blood boiling. 1 really wish I could be as heroic!” The soldiers from the nearby supply stations exclaimed with excitement.

Inside, Yan Zhiming couldn’t help but feel a sense of lament.

They had all left home together, taken the same train, joined the same new recruits’ platoon, and even ended up in the same new recruit class.

But now?

Now, he had ended up guarding a supply station.

A small and distant unit, with no need for any training or participation in significant events.

Meanwhile, Wang Ye had already graduated from the training unit and was borrowed to serve as a reconnaissance soldier at the division headquarters!

And now he was back, even more formidable.

Suddenly, a loud exclamation from nearby brought Yan Zhiming back to reality.

“What’s going on?” He looked at his comrade who was holding the newspaper, puzzled.

“Damn, look at this…” He pointed at the bottom of the newspaper.

According to reliable sources, Comrade Wang Ye has been promoted to second lieutenant ahead of schedule and is set to enroll in the military academy next year…

“Wow!” At this moment, the others nearby also exclaimed with surprise.

Yan Zhiming didn’t say anything, but his eyes widened.

At this moment, he was truly dumbfounded.

He’s already a second lieutenant?

He turned his head to look at his own shoulder, where the curved stripe was quite conspicuous.

In fact, their expressions and emotions now were no different from the Iron Heroes Battalion members when they saw this newspaper. During the previous confrontation, more than one person had seen Wang Ye’s second lieutenant rank, but at the time, everyone thought he had stolen someone else’s rank to show off.

Little did they know, it was actually his own.

Hmm… this was actually a deliberate release of information by the battalion commander.

Wang Ye had indeed made a big splash in this confrontation. However, their battalion had suffered a lot during it. So, by putting the spotlight on Wang Ye and attributing the credit to him, their battalion could salvage some of its reputation.

Even the news of Wang Ye’s exceptional promotion was thrown out there to divert attention when Wang Ye appeared impressive. After all, the incident of their battalion’s heavy losses during the last exercise couldn’t be hidden.

So, they might as well praise Wang Ye as much as possible.

Besides, Wang Ye was still a soldier in their battalion, and elevating his status would indirectly benefit the battalion.
