Chapter 396: Wang Ye Arrives

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When Wang Ye ran to the supply station’s playground, the transport plane had already landed.

Right now, the chief of staff was standing at the front of the line, saying something, but Wang Ye couldn’t hear because the propellers of the transport plane next to them kept spinning.

The noise was loud and drowned out the chief of staff’s voice.

But Wang Ye saw that Jiang Nan was also in the queue over there.

Are these all casualties?

What exactly happened?

Wang Ye was feeling a bit nervous too.

He accelerated and ran over.

In fact, at this moment, the people in the queue here and the chief of staff all saw Wang Ye.

But whether it was Jiang Nan or others, none of them greeted Wang Ye.

“Report!”

Wang Ye came to the front of the chief of staff and saluted.

The chief of staff looked at Wang Ye and said, “Since you’re here, join the operation. Your platoon leader will give you the specific details!”

The chief of staff didn’t smile, even though he saw the thermal image camera in Wang Ye’s hand. But now, the expression on his face was the most serious that Wang Ye had ever seen since he had known him.

“Yes, sir!

Wang Ye replied, then turned and walked quickly to the side of Jiang Nan in the queue.

“Platoon leader!” Wang Ye quietly greeted.

Jiang Nan quickly turned his head and spoke in a hushed voice, “Emergency mission. Some criminals were intercepted by the patrol soldiers here at the supply station. One of our guys got shot, and real ammunition is on its way. We need to provide support!”

“Alright!”

Wang Ye’s eyes widened.

In that moment, Wang Ye’s heart trembled.

Someone got shot, but it should be okay, right? It should be okay!

He prayed inwardly.

Although he didn’t know who got shot, and he hadn’t seen the patrol soldiers here, whoever they were, they were fellow soldiers, just like him.

Everyone was compatriots, comrades, and he didn’t want anything to happen to any of them.

Anxiously waiting, after about a minute or so, there was another sound from the sky.

Two Z-9 helicopters flew over.

But one of them didn’t stop or lower its altitude; it just flew away.

Only one of them flew over and began to land on the playground.

“Quick, let’s go!”

When the helicopter came to a stop, the chief of staff gave the command, and the twenty-something people present quickly ran over.

Boxes of ammunition were unloaded from the helicopter.

“Hurry, let’s just take a few boxes that are enough. We need to move quickly!” Jiang Nan’s voice rang out.

Wang Ye was swift in his actions. After prying open a box containing hand grenades with his knife, he reached in and grabbed a few.

At this point, he had already disposed of the training hand grenades and magazines from earlier, throwing them aside while waiting.

Now it was time to fully load live ammunition.

After taking the grenades, Wang Ye rushed to another side to grab Type 05 rifle magazines and pistol magazines.

“Click, click.”

The sound of bullets being chambered quickly filled the air.

“Hurry, once you’re armed, head to the aircraft.”

In just twenty or thirty seconds, Wang Ye and the others had loaded up with ammunition as per the chief of staff’s instructions. Then, one by one, they swiftly ran toward the transport plane that had been waiting.

There were only twenty-three of them.

All of them were soldiers from Division A’s reconnaissance battalion, and the special forces members Wang Ye had eliminated earlier weren’t among them.

Now, with twenty-three reconnaissance soldiers and one Z-8 transport helicopter, they had enough.

Once everyone was on board, the chief of staff also joined them.

The aircraft began to take off.

Meanwhile, the other Z-9 helicopter, after unloading all the ammunition, also started to take off.

They were going to provide support.

“In the motherland’s memory… in my memory…”

In the pool of blood, Lu Yibo’s eyes were bloodshot, tears streaming down his face as he sang their unit’s anthem.

Yan Zhiming kept his eyes fixed on the sky.

“S-Squad leader… the motherland… will definitely… never… forget us, right!” His voice had become weak, his eyes losing focus, and blood stained his lips.

“No, it won’t forget, definitely not. You’re a hero, but you can’t have anything happen to you, you little rascal. Your girlfriend is still waiting for you!” To motivate Yan Zhiming, he brought up Yan Zhiming’s girlfriend.

Indeed, this guy hadn’t been in a relationship before enlisting, but during basic training, he got in touch with a female classmate.

He had mentioned it to Wang Ye at the time.

And now, after all this time had passed, he had successfully established a relationship with her.

“Sisi~”

Yan Zhiming’s eyelids, which had gradually drooped, suddenly snapped open.

His eyes refocused.

“She’s here… she’s here… Zhiming, hold on, the aircraft is here!”

Suddenly, the soldier holding the phone next to him heard a voice and quickly spoke up.

At that moment, hope ignited in Lu Yibo’s heart as well, and he hurriedly said to him, “Hold on, think of your girlfriend, think of your parents, you can definitely make it!”

In the sky, indeed, a helicopter was approaching.

This one wasn’t carrying ammunition.

It was the Z-9 helicopter from the Exercise Department, originally responsible for transporting opposing forces personnel out of the exercise area after they finished their role. It had taken off along with the transport helicopter borrowed by the chief of staff.

The transport helicopter had brought the chief of staff to pick up the injured, and this Z-9 helicopter, belonging to the Exercise Department, had brought medical support personnel from the Exercise Department directly to this location upon learning that someone had been shot.

Soon, the helicopter flew over and hovered at a distance, then medical support personnel carrying medical kits quickly descended using a rope ladder.

“The situation is critical; both bullets are very serious. We can’t move them right now; we need to deal with it on-site urgently.”

The military doctor ran over and quickly assessed the situation.

Two military doctors rushed to Yan Zhiming, while the remaining two nurses split up to attend to the other soldier who had been shot.

“Save him, please save him! He’s still young, he has a girlfriend. 1 beg you, save him!” Hearing the military doctor’s words, Lu Yibo panicked.

His hands, covered in blood, tightly gripped the military doctor beside him as he pleaded with tearful eyes.

“We will, we will, but we need to handle the emergency now. Please don’t disturb us!”

“Alright…” Lu Yibo quickly let go.

At this moment, another voice came from the side, “Your condition isn’t good either; the bullets are still inside you. Although they didn’t hit any vital organs, we need to remove them and treat the wounds as soon as possible!”

“Forget about me… I… 1 can’t die. Go help… save my comrade!” Hu Shilong, who was usually described by Lu Yibo as “not worth much,” now showed his resilience as a tough man.

His face turned pale, lips cyanotic, and he leaned against a tree trunk, looking as if he had been pulled out of the water.

The pain was making him sweat, soaking his clothes, but he still refused treatment.

Don’t worry, we will definitely save both of you. However, there’s a doctor attending to him right now. I’ll take care of you. Your condition is also critical; if we don’t treat you promptly, you may suffer severe consequences in the future.” Though she was just a nurse, she was a military nurse, trained in basic emergency care. When the military doctors were overwhelmed, she had to step in.

Of course, she wouldn’t remove the bullets at the moment, but she could administer pain relief and provide immediate, scientifically sound care to stabilize the injuries.

“No… no need. Go help… 1 can’t die!” Hu Shilong refused once again.

Don’t be foolish; listen to the doctor!” Lu Yibo, now with red eyes, glared at him.

Earlier, they couldn’t afford to consider his condition.

But now, since Yan Zhiming was receiving medical attention and there was a military doctor available, they couldn’t ignore him.

“Alright!”

Finally, Hu Shilong gritted his teeth and agreed.

“According to the intelligence, the criminals are divided into two groups, and they are also hostile to each other. However, they have now split up and are on the run,” on the plane, the chief of staff spoke with a serious expression to the reconnaissance soldiers sitting on both sides.

“I have only one requirement for you: find them, eliminate them, and do not let a single one escape. Can you do it?”

“We can!”

“Good. We’re about to reach the incident site. We’ll split into two groups.

Jiang Nan, you lead the seven from your Second Platoon to pursue the group that injured our people. The intelligence says there are only five of them left!”

“Yes, sir!

Jiang Nan responded loudly with a serious expression.

“Remember, this group consists of desperate criminals who dared to shoot at us and even injured our soldiers. They are highly dangerous, so my requirement for you is to get the job done, no matter what it takes, but you must locate and eliminate all of them!”

“Yes, sir!

Jiang Nan responded loudly once again.

“Alright, Zhan Gui, lead the remaining troops to pursue the other group!”

The chief of staff addressed another lieutenant.

He was the deputy platoon leader of the first platoon.

“Yes!” Sitting across from Wang Ye, Zhan Gui also responded with a serious expression.

At this moment, Wang Ye was actually looking out the window.

Outside the window, in the distance, there were helicopters flying at low altitude…

It was one of the armed helicopters that had departed from the division headquarters along with the one that had delivered ammunition earlier.

It had arrived ahead of them and was currently searching for the criminals.

In fact, in addition to this helicopter, another helicopter that had brought military doctors was currently landing in a relatively open area near the railroad tracks.

Yan Zhiming’s injuries were too severe, and after urgent treatment, he would need to be transported to a military hospital. However, Yan Zhiming couldn’t be loaded onto the helicopter while it was hovering; the aircraft had to land first.

Of course, Wang Ye wasn’t aware of this situation at the moment.

He was holding the Type 05 rifle tightly in his hands.

He had prepared himself mentally for the upcoming confrontation with the criminals.

Wang Ye didn’t know that the one who had been shot was his fellow villager, Yan Zhiming, but he did know that this was his comrade from the Iron Bones Heroes unit.

After another ten seconds or so of flight, the aircraft came to a stop.

“Quick! Get down!”

Ropes were thrown down.

At the command of the chief of staff, one by one, the soldiers rapidly descended along the ropes.

Wang Ye had practiced this before, even though it wasn’t rappelling from a helicopter. Nevertheless, he wasn’t afraid now.

When it was his turn, he grabbed the rope and descended.

While still in the air, Wang Ye glanced around.

Everything seemed normal, and he didn’t even see any people because their descent height was not much higher than the treetops in the surrounding jungle.

This was done to avoid the turbulence caused by the helicopter’s rotors affecting the medical response team. Therefore, the chosen landing point was hundreds of meters away from the incident site.

Under these circumstances, it was impossible to see what was happening over there.

However, even though they couldn’t see from the air, as soon as they landed, Wang Ye and the others, led by Jiang Nan and the other team leader, quickly ran toward the incident site.

The helicopter could search a large area from the air, but their task was to reach the crime scene and then follow the tracks of the criminals.

In just over ten seconds, Wang Ye and the others arrived at the scene.

It was at this moment that Wang Ye’s eyes suddenly turned red.

Because he saw who was lying in the pool of blood, still receiving urgent treatment.

Despite the bloodstains covering his face, Wang Ye recognized him.

It was his fellow villager from back home, Yan Zhiming, whom he hadn’t seen since the end of basic training.

“Old Yan!”

With tears in his eyes, Wang Ye shouted and tried to run over.

“Wait!”

The next moment, Jiang Nan grabbed Wang Ye’s hand.

“Captain, he’s from my hometown!” Wang Ye, with red eyes, looked at him urgently.

“The doctor is saving him; don’t go over and disturb. And we have our mission too!” Jiang Nan said sternly.

At the mention of the mission, Wang Ye calmed down.

He continued to watch the figure lying in a pool of blood, his hand gripping the rifle, veins bulging on his forehead.

“I will definitely make them pay!”

Watching Yan Zhiming’s uncertain fate, Wang Ye gritted his teeth, and these words of determination squeezed out through clenched teeth.

He had never imagined that he would see Yan Zhiming again after they separated in basic training, under such circumstances.

At this moment, Wang Ye truly wanted to take revenge..
