Chapter 338: A Sudden Separation
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Report!”
In a desolate and remote mountainous area in Western Guangdong, a large number of tents were scattered around.
Wu Jianfeng hurriedly approached one of the large tents, adjusted his hat and attire, then entered with a smile on his face. He saluted the captain, who was smoking and facing away from the tent’s entrance.
“Yes,” the captain turned around.
Seeing Wu Jianfeng, he spoke directly, “Xiao Wu, 1 called you here to discuss sothing with you.”
The captain’s serious expression caused the smile on Wu Jianfeng’s face to freeze.
Slightly concerned, Wu Jianfeng restrained his smile and asked, “Captain, is there sothing wrong?”
Wu Jianfeng hadn’t connected this matter to Wang Ye yet; he thought it might be about sothing else.
“Not exactly,” the captain explained, then hesitated for a mont before continuing, “Today, 1 t with the Division Chief and asked him to transfer Wang Ye to the Division’s Reconnaissance Battalion.”
“Erm…” Wu Jianfeng was visibly surprised.
“Why?” Wu Jianfeng blurted out the question.
He was starting to feel anxious.
He had known for a while that Wang Ye would leave the Fourth Company after completing the training at the Instructor’s Team, and he fully supported that decision.
Wang Ye was a great soldier, but precisely because he was outstanding, Wu Jianfeng didn’t want to limit him. In fact, he had never intended to do so.
However, wasn’t he supposed to go to the Criminal Investigation Company?
Why was he suddenly being reassigned to the Division’s Reconnaissance Battalion?
Could he even return from this assignnt?
Wu Jianfeng felt that this decision had co unexpectedly.
The captain looked at Wu Jianfeng and said, “We are currently in a training phase, and during this stage, although we could still send Wang Ye to the reconnaissance platoon, they won’t be able to properly ntor him at this stage. In fact, it’s not suitable for newcors to join them right now.”
“This…” Wu Jianfeng was once again surprised.
Then…
“Indeed!” Wu Jianfeng nodded sowhat helplessly.
The Iron Bone Heroes Battalion was in training, and during this period, the entire battalion, except for the border defense companies on duty, was involved. This included the Criminal Investigation Company. During the training, there would be various drills and exercises, and sotis even marches.
Reconnaissance soldiers would be busy during this process and wouldn’t have ti to ntor Wang Ye properly. Moreover, it might be best for Wang Ye to return to the Fourth Company during this phase and wait until the training was over before joining the Criminal Investigation Company.
So, with the captain’s current arrangent, Wu Jianfeng had nothing more to say.
In fact, after a brief mont of contemplation, Wu Jianfeng, although still sowhat reluctant to see Wang Ye go to the Division’s Reconnaissance Battalion, felt a genuine sense of happiness deep down.
After all, the Criminal Investigation Company was just a battalion-level unit, with only two platoons of reconnaissance soldiers. The expertise of reconnaissance soldiers in a battalion-level unit couldn’t compare to that of the Division’s Reconnaissance Battalion.
If Wang Ye didn’t go to a special forces unit, being a reconnaissance soldier in the Division’s Reconnaissance Battalion was also a good choice. It would lay a better foundation for Wang Ye’s future attendance at the military academy next year.
“Alright, I called you here to discuss this matter,” the captain began to say, but before he could finish…
“Report, Captain! The Head of Staff is calling!”
Suddenly, from one side of the large tent, the communication soldier, wearing headphones and sitting there, stood up and reported.
Glancing at Wu Jianfeng, the captain walked directly over and took the communication device.
“Old Wei-”
“Captain, it’s , Wang Ye.”
The captain had just greeted him, but the voice that ca from the other end was indeed Wang Ye’s.
“Are you on the plane?” the captain asked with a smile.
He could hear the sound of propellers.
“Yes, Captain. The Division Chief ca to pick up, and I…”
“Go with him then. The Criminal Investigation Company in the battalion is currently in training and doesn’t have ti to train and ntor you. So, I requested Old Wei, well, that’s the Head of Staff, to bring you to the Division’s Reconnaissance Battalion!”
“Um…”
This ti, it was Wang Ye who was taken aback.
He hadn’t expected that he would be sent out willingly, thinking that Old Liu wanted to go ho.
But now, it turned out that he was being sent out voluntarily.
Glancing at the Head of Staff, who was sitting near the door on the opposite side, Wang Ye’s bewildered expression didn’t escape his notice.
ii
Hehe, how about that? I didn’t trick you onto the plane, did 1?” The Head of Staff chuckled.
In fact, he had deliberately left it vague earlier. This guy had refused his invitation to fly the plane himself in front of so many people the last ti.
This ti, let’s see if he had the guts to refuse again.
He smiled as he looked at Wang Ye.
Wang Ye felt sowhat uncomfortable being scrutinized like this.
Holding the communication device, he was about to speak, but the voice of the captain on the other end ca through again.
“When you get to the Reconnaissance Battalion, work hard and don’t embarrass . Alright, your platoon leader is right here; you can have a few words with him!”
The next mont, there was the sound of hands changing positions on the microphone, and then, it turned into Wu Jianfeng’s voice.
“Wang Ye!”
“Platoon Leader!” Wang Ye hurriedly greeted.
“Well… it’s a bit sudden, but… never mind, 1 won’t say anything extra. When you get to the Reconnaissance Battalion, I believe you can do well. Wang Ye, keep it up!” Wu Jianfeng seed to have a lot to say at this mont, but when the words reached his lips, he held back.
“Yes, Platoon Leader!” Wang Ye responded.
He wasn’t like so young guys who would act all reluctant to go and say they wanted to return to the Fourth Company.
Listening to the silence on the other end, suddenly, Wang Ye spoke loudly again, “Platoon Leader, no matter where I go, I will always rember that I am the 3,988th soldier of the Iron Blood Fourth Company!”
At that mont, Wang Ye also felt a bit choked up inside.
The sudden parting was a lot to handle.
Going to be a reconnaissance soldier was a predetermined decision, but before, Wang Ye hadn’t given it much thought because it was supposed to be in the Battalion’s Criminal Investigation Company.
Going there, he would still be stationed in the sa location, and when he had free ti, he could run over to the Fourth Company and et his comrades. But now… this sudden call to board the plane and go to the Division’s Reconnaissance Battalion was unexpected. After the competition, Wang Ye hadn’t returned to the Fourth Company. He had been looking forward to seeing his comrades again tomorrow. But now… This departure ant that even though it was said to be a temporary transfer, Wang Ye knew very well that he might not have a chance to return to the Iron Bone Heroes Battalion anyti soon.
“Alright, I’m hanging up!” The voice on the other end clearly had a different tone.
Holding the communication device in his hand, Wang Ye was montarily stunned.
On the other side, the Head of Staff didn’t disturb Wang Ye. The helicopter’s pilot didn’t say anything either. But after just two or three seconds, the Head of Staff smiled again at Wang Ye and said, “Well, soldiers can’t be unaccustod to farewells. Besides, you’re just going to the Reconnaissance Battalion, and it’s a temporary transfer. Who knows, if 1 ever find you annoying, I might just kick you back!”
Wang Ye looked at the Head of Staff but remained silent. He quietly handed the communication device back to the pilot in front of him.
Then he took his seat opposite the Head of Staff.
“Alright, take off!” The Head of Staff said to the pilot in front of him.
The helicopter’s rotor had been in a running state, but it had remained stationary on the field. After the Head of Staff finished speaking, the helicopter finally began to lift off.
“Wang Ye, do your best!”
“Goodbye!”
Once the helicopter was at a safe distance, Ji Qinglin, Du Yitong, and the others were all shouting and waving.
Wang Ye saw them, but at this mont, he didn’t respond.
“Hmm-!” Wang Ye let out a muffled hum as he grabbed the side of the seat. He felt his blood rushing to his feet, and he felt slightly uncomfortable.
This was the first ti in his two lifetis that he had ridden in a helicopter.
Hehe, are you scared?” The Head of Staff across from him chuckled.
Wang Ye looked at him and then released his grip on the seat. “Not scared, just my first ti riding one!”
Wang Ye was, after all, emotionally mature, and although he still had so complex emotions inside, he could control himself well.
The Head of Staff’s smile didn’t diminish. “It’s just a helicopter. You’re going to be a reconnaissance soldier, so you’ll have to get used to it. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to ride in one in the future!”
Wang Ye looked at him but remained silent.
In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that he had just joined the army, Wang Ye would have definitely given him a disapproving look right now.
Was he still acting like a rookie who had just arrived at the Ard Forces Departnt?
What a joke. He was going to the Reconnaissance Battalion, not the Helicopter Squadron. He wasn’t becoming a pilot, so there wouldn’t be many opportunities for him to ride in these things regularly.
At this mont, Wang Ye rembered the night he first arrived at the Ard Forces Departnt.
The veteran soldiers who received the new recruits and were asked whether the unit had tanks and whether they could touch them, they had bragged and promised that not only could they touch them, but they could also drive them…
ii
Hehe, what’s with that expression?” The Head of Staff still had a cheerful look on his face.
Seeing Wang Ye looking sowhat oppressed now, he couldn’t help but want to laugh.
This guy, when he had gone to find him at the Ard Forces Departnt, had hidden in a tracked armored vehicle, and he had directly refused him. Last ti, he had also been in the lilight during the competition.
And now…
To be honest, Wang Ye was indeed a bit impressive, otherwise he would have definitely greeted the reconnaissance soldiers and had them put on a show for Wang Ye.
Of course, now it might not be possible to put on a show.
But as for Wang Ye’s destination, he had already decided.
He would go to the Second Company.
Yeap… the reconnaissance platoon that had attacked the Iron Bones Hero Regint last ti.
In the other companies, Wang Ye, the guy who had broken the military district’s record and made a na for himself on the battlefield, even though everyone knew he was a new recruit with less than a year of service, no one would dare to ss with him. In fact, they might even warmly welco him into their companies.
But the Second Company was different.
Last ti, Wang Ye had given so of them a hard lesson. He had even broken so eggs for them because he had the rank of Private at that ti.
Afterward, so people in the entire company had nightmares and were grinding their teeth, calling out Wang Ye’s na in their sleep.
Sending Wang Ye to the Second Company was a good choice.
They weren’t easy to deal with, and sending Wang Ye in there was a way to challenge them. If the Second Company couldn’t handle it, then they would have to train. If the Second Company had what it took, then they could train Wang Ye.
In any case, it was sothing the Head of Staff was happy to see.
At this mont, as Wang Ye looked at the Head of Staff’s smile, he inexplicably felt a chill in his heart..
