Chapter 356: Wu Jianfeng Is Here!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Bastards, where did this group of people come from? They launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night, no sense of fair play!” In the fourth squad, Peng Yuhang angrily exclaimed.

He was in the middle of a dream, about to go on a date with a goddess.

He was just about to kiss her, and then this emergency assembly happened. It nearly gave him a heart attack.

“If I catch them, I’ll definitely give them a beating.” Wei Qinghai clenched his teeth.

At this moment, they were marching into the mountains.

The Iron Bones Hero Regiment had begun to counterattack after the artillery barrage.

Infantry fighting vehicles and tanks were in motion, and there were also infantry platoons abandoning their vehicles and marching into the mountains for a search.

Captain Hong was furious and gave the order: tonight, they must eliminate these attackers.

Currently, the fourth squad was split into two groups. Wu Jianfeng’s two squads had abandoned their vehicles and were marching into the mountains, while the instructor led another squad and joined other units to move with the infantry fighting vehicles to cut off the enemy’s retreat.

“Alright, be careful, complain less, and stay vigilant for sneak attacks from all sides!”

Up ahead, Zhou Qi, with a serious expression, turned to remind them.

One sentence put an end to the complaints in the squad.

After all, they were in the middle of a mission. Complaining now, not being attentive to their surroundings, and getting scolded by Wu Jianfeng later was a guarantee.

Soon, Wu Jianfeng led them to the location where the mortar had been set up earlier.

“It should be a Type 60 mortar, judging by the traces around here. There should be around a platoon’s worth of people.” After personally inspecting the situation around, Zheng Ke reported the findings to Wu Jianfeng.

Wu Jianfeng’s face turned grim as he spoke, “They ran fast, but they definitely can’t have gone too far. Follow their tracks!”

The reconnaissance platoon had come in a hurry, both for the assault and the retreat. There was no time to carefully erase their tracks, making it relatively easy for the Iron Bone Hero Brigade’s units to track them.

After all, in the forest, there was no shortage of grass and decaying wood. With each person weighing over 100 pounds plus their equipment, leaving clear tracks was unavoidable.

They quickly pursued along the tracks left by the reconnaissance soldiers. At the same time, they reported the information they gathered to headquarters to help them estimate the enemy’s withdrawal route for encirclement.

Even a single regiment of the military had a formidable operational capability.

At least for the moment, the second company wouldn’t be able to escape the encirclement if they simply tried to run, even if they wanted to go back on the trucks as soon as possible, they couldn’t.

There wasn’t enough time.

However, the second company had no intention of running, and it was impossible for them to do so.

“They’ve come for revenge, and at the same time, they’re here to test the Iron Bones Hero Regiment’s combat strength. This time, we must fight to the last man.”

“Someone’s approaching!”

The permissions for the individual combat system had been opened, and Wang Ye and the others could now communicate freely.

Of course, Wang Ye and his team’s permissions were limited to communication within their own squad, with Jiang Nan, and the communications officer.

Listening to Cai Huayu’s voice in his ear, Wang Ye lay silently behind the dirt mound.

In this moment, he felt a mixture of anticipation and nervousness. He hoped that the approaching individuals were significant targets, preferably a company commander or, even better, a company commander and a platoon leader, along with their instructor.

If that were the case, they might be able to complete the mission in one swift move.

At the same time, Wang Ye also prayed it wasn’t the fourth squad catching up with them!

Time slowly passed, and Wang Ye, lying behind the dirt mound, could see tactical flashlights casting erratic beams of light all around.

The Iron Bone Hero Brigade did not have the equipment of the second company. They lacked individual night vision goggles, so they had to rely on tactical flashlights for night operations.

This made them quite conspicuous at the moment.

One beam of light represented one person.

“About sixty-plus people, roughly two platoons!”

Through the earpiece, someone whispered, and Jiang Nan’s voice followed.

“Wait for my command!”

Without any unnecessary words, after these four words, everyone in the jungle once again went into hiding.

Reconnaissance soldiers were skilled in the art of camouflage, and at least when they were hidden, it was difficult to discover them unless they were accidentally stumbled upon.

Moreover, at their current positions, except for two reconnaissance soldiers positioned on the perimeter to observe, the others were still hidden behind.

Wang Ye could see that some of them had moved ahead to scout.

Looking through the night vision goggles, Wang Ye observed the two soldiers who had just reached the point where the first and second teams had separated. At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of helplessness. novelbuddy.(c)om

It seemed that they were afraid of what they had prayed for!

Wang Ye recognized both of these soldiers, and one of them was so familiar that he couldn’t be more familiar with him.

Wang Changzhu from the first squad, and the other was also a member of the first squad.

It turned out to be the fourth squad that had actually caught up with them!

Wang Ye smiled wryly to himself.

In reality, if they encountered the fourth squad, even though he had prayed earlier, he knew that the chances were quite high.

The fourth squad was the top squad within the Iron Bones Hero Regiment, and their combat spirit and strength were formidable.

In addition to being an infantry unit, it was almost certain that the fourth squad would be sent into the mountains. It was just an unfortunate coincidence that they happened to come across this location, with only a one-in-four chance.

“Company Commander, they split up here!”

And in the next moment, something even more frustrating happened.

Wang Changzhu immediately turned around and shouted towards the rear.

Since this mission wasn’t a covert operation, and they were using flashlights openly, there was no need to hide the situation. Reporting it quickly was more efficient.

The company commander had also come!

This situation left Wang Ye feeling conflicted. What rotten luck to have encountered the fourth squad, and with Wu Jianfeng leading them personally.

What should he do?

Eliminate them?

Sabotage the mission? Wang Ye never considered this option. He was a soldier, and deliberately sabotaging a mission amounted to treasonous behavior. It could ruin his entire career, and he wasn’t foolish enough to do that. If he did such a thing, not only would he face consequences from others, but even Wu Jianfeng could beat him to a pulp.

He was simply torn. Should he take on Wu Jianfeng himself, or let someone else do it? Perhaps it would be best for him to handle it. After all, Wu Jianfeng was a captain, and besides, he had trained him. Dying at his hands wouldn’t tarnish his reputation.

Wang Ye only pondered for a moment.

Once again, he peeked his head out from behind the dirt mound, and through the night vision goggles, he saw Wu Jianfeng approaching their split point, with the soldiers of the fourth squad on high alert around him.

“Attack!”

Through the earpiece, Jiang Nan’s command was heard.

The split point from earlier was precisely where everyone had laid their ambush.

Since there was no time to clear away their tracks, they decided to use them to their advantage.

In this regard, Jiang Nan was a master.

As soon as Wang Changzhu had come over earlier, he had kept silent, patiently waiting. Now, with the soldiers from the fourth squad approaching, he finally gave the command.

This split point was their trap, and the traces they had left behind served as bait.

Jiang Nan’s expertise came to the forefront. As Wang Changzhu had approached, he remained silent, waiting for the right moment. Now that the soldiers from the fourth squad were all there, he gave the command.

Of course, they had no choice but to give the command, as the fourth squad was being extremely cautious. When Wu Jianfeng had come over, some soldiers had quickly checked the tracks to the sides, while others spread out and maintained vigilance around.

Even on Wang Ye’s side, some soldiers had come within a distance of six or seven meters.

“Pop, pop, pop-”

The Type 05 submachine guns with silencers made only a faint noise.

In the second company, hardly anyone carried a Type 95 rifle, and even in this operation, they hadn’t brought any machine guns. They were conducting a surprise attack, and machine gun fire was too loud for this job.

So, they were all armed with Type 05 submachine guns.

Enemy attack!”

“Take cover!”

At this moment, someone in the fourth squad yelled.

But it was almost too late.

Suddenly, a dozen or so heads started to emit smoke.

Wang Ye even immediately shot down Peng Yuhang, who had come too close.

After it was over, Wang Ye didn’t pay any attention to his bewildered old comrade.

He reached out and one by one pulled the pins from the hand grenades that had been prepared and tossed them out.

“Boom-!”

“Boom!”

One by one, the hand grenades exploded, and not just hand grenades, some of them even threw stun grenades.

And these weren’t just training grenades; they were the real deal.

This moment completely bewildered Wu Jianfeng and his team.

Even though the second company had only a dozen or so people, they were up against over sixty.

But in just an instant, thirty or forty of Wu Jianfeng’s men were engulfed in smoke.

Among them, Wu Jianfeng himself was also in the smoky chaos.

“Damn it!”

Wu Jianfeng pounded the ground with his fist as he lay prone.

The moment the ambush started, he had hit the ground and rolled away immediately, but he was still enveloped in smoke.

That was because nearly ten hand grenades had been tossed directly to his position.

Wang Ye had thrown four of them…

Well, once he had made his decision, Wang Ye focused on him.

The others weren’t foolish either; they all recognized that he was the company commander, so they handed over any grenades they could get their hands on to him.

In this situation, there was simply no way for him to escape.

It was a man made bombing zone!
