Chapter 375: Public Execution
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Battle casualty ratio, thirty-seven to four hundred and twenty-three.
Comrades, I am deeply saddened!”
The Iron Bones Hero Regint base.
After the entire regint returned to camp, they were not given any rest ti at all.
The entire regint gathered, and the regint commander stood on a makeshift platform, holding a gaphone and addressing the soldiers in front of him.
At this mont, so people in the formation didn’t even dare to look directly at the regint commander.
For example, the Second Company Commander.
For example, Wu Jianfeng.
Even though they were scolded by Wang Ye.
But once they were scolded, that was it.
Achieving success in battle is the first step to establishing oneself, and in this exercise, it was a shaful performance.
Of course, it wasn’t just them; others didn’t achieve much either.
The reconnaissance troops were too slippery, with only thirty-seven casualties in total, and their losses had just been announced by the regint commander.
A casualty ratio of more than one to eleven, even though the initial casualties were due to the surprise attack by the Second Company’s collective mortar, this performance still made people feel ashad.
On the platform, the regint commander looked genuinely distressed.
“Comrades, if today were a real battlefield, there would be over four hundred bodies in front of us. Among you, one-fourth of our comrades would forever bid farewell to this world.”
Pausing for a mont, the regint commander spoke again, “I take full responsibility. The biggest fault in this attack, with such casualties, lies with . Our prior vigilance was not high enough, and our sense of war was not sensitive enough!”
The regint commander’s eyes scanned the formation below like an eagle as he continued, “It’s also my fault for not keeping your training rigorous enough on a daily basis, which caused you to lack the ability to fight and win!”
The regint commander’s words sent a shiver through the hearts of all the regint officers and soldiers.
This isn’t self-reflection!
This is piling mountains on our heads!
Of course, no one dared to say anything now.
Looking at the crowd below, the regint commander spoke in a deep voice, “For the next month, I’ve decided that our regint will maintain a constant state of war. At the sa ti, the regint reconnaissance company will serve as an all-weather attack team.”
Pausing for a mont, the regint commander scanned the formation below and continued, “For the past, I won’t bla anyone, but for the future, I hope everyone can change their mindset as soon as possible. We are the forefront of our motherland’s forces, and we are the first line of defense in the face of war.”
“For the sake of protecting our motherland and our people, and so that when we truly encounter war, we can effectively kill the enemy, achieve great deeds, and not sacrifice ourselves…”
“Comrades, 1 hope you can put away your playful thoughts, be fully committed, and treat the upcoming exercises and training as a real war.”
The regint commander did not na anyone for criticism during the eting, but the pressure he exerted was felt by everyone.
Soon, the entire regint disbanded.
However, it was only the ordinary soldiers who disbanded.
All the officers from the regint level and above were called away by the regint commander.
While it was said that the past would not be blad, the past events needed to be analyzed and learned from.
In simple terms, it was a debriefing session.
Comrades from the Exercise Departnt brought video recordings and fully briefed the reconnaissance troops on tactics and previous actions. They then discussed and debriefed together with the Iron Bones Hero Regint.
Well… in fact, this was also an internally publicized “execution” eting.
For example, the current regint commander still didn’t know how Wu Jianfeng and the Second Company Commander had t their end.
But he would soon find out.
Although Wu Jianfeng and the Second Company Commander had died at the hands of Wang Ye this ti, the impact on their personal futures was almost negligible.
However, facing a public execution later, with people watching, it would be undeniably embarrassing and a subject of ridicule.
To be killed by the soldiers they had led themselves.
And even the regint commander and company commander would be executed together!
Thinking about this scene, Wu Jianfeng and the Second Company Commander felt their scalps tingle.
They really wanted to escape and had no desire to attend this debriefing session, but now they had no choice but to go.
Moreover, as officers who had died in combat, they were the focal point of this debriefing.
“They damned bastard!”
As they followed the regint commander, both of them muttered with resentnt.
It can be said that if Wang Ye were still in the Iron Bones Hero Regint right now, regardless of whether he was the regint’s treasure, company’s treasure, or company’s treasure, the company commander and Wu Jianfeng would definitely catch him and give him a beating to vent their anger before anything else.
Unfortunately, Wang Ye was already far away, hundreds of miles away.
“Alright, start writing. After you’re done, give it to for review. If everything’s fine, and if we have ti later, you can take a break!”
Inside a dormitory, after the company leader ca in, he said this to everyone.
Upon returning from outside, Jiang Nan had given orders.
Everyone was to write a report on their exercise actions, detailing all their experiences during the exercise.
The Iron Bones Hero Regint needed to debrief, and the reconnaissance company also needed to go through this process.
The difference was that unlike the Iron Bones Hero Regint, the Second Company was composed of reconnaissance soldiers, and because their tactics involved operating independently and were decentralized, coupled with their smaller numbers, the debriefing process began with each individual providing a detailed account of their actions. After these individual reports were reviewed at each level, the overall debriefing and analysis would begin.
This was not sothing that could be completed in a single day.
The entire company summarized, the entire company debriefed, the entire squad summarized, and finally, the entire class summarized.
This whole process would take several days to complete. After all, in an era without real combat, exercise confrontations were about accumulating combat experience, making targeted changes to training thods, and even promoting talent.
However, the debriefing and analysis would not affect everyone’s training.
The summary etings, except for the company-wide summary eting held the following morning, were conducted in the evenings or during lunch breaks.
Naturally, during this process, Wang Ye and Wen Xiaoman were in the spotlight.
The artillery strike on the regint’s base, while not causing significant damage, had a trendous impact.
Furthermore, Wen Xiaoman had even targeted a regint commander.
So, during the company-wide summary eting, Wang Ye and Wen Xiaoman were both called onto the stage. In front of all the officers and soldiers of the company, the Chief of Staff praised the two of them and called on all the soldiers of the company to learn from them.
The Chief of Staff’s exact words were, “We are reconnaissance soldiers, and reconnaissance soldiers often need to operate deep behind enemy lines. The enemy won’t act according to our plans, so we need to abandon traditional thinking. We must dare to take action and seize every opportunity, making use of everything available. Comrades Wang Ye and Wen Xiaoman have done an excellent job in this regard!”
Then, both of them received comndations.
Of course, they only received comndations, and in reality, Wen Xiaoman was sowhat burdened by Wang Ye.
If it had been soone else instead of Wang Ye this ti, both of them would have certainly received third-class comndations.
However, because Wang Ye had too many achievents to his na, having already received three second-class comndations, even though the division headquarters had previously stated that they wouldn’t ignore the soldiers’ rits just because of too many achievents, practical considerations still ca into play.
Mainly, this was just a division-level exercise, similar to when Wang Ye’s new recruits perford exceptionally well in training.
If it had been soone else, they might have received third-class comndations.
But with Wang Ye, they had to suppress it a bit.
Third-class comndations might seem small, but when they were awarded to Wang Ye, they could potentially make their way into military reports or even reach a wider societal audience, especially given Wang Ye’s extraordinarily impressive record.
So, this ti, they could only give Wang Ye comndations.
And since Wang Ye received comndations, it was naturally impossible to give Wen Xiaoman third-class comndations.
After all, everyone was well aware of the fact that Wang Ye played the most significant role in this matter.
However, after the company-wide summary eting, the Chief of Staff also spoke with Wang Ye and Wen Xiaoman personally to discuss this matter.
Wen Xiaoman would be awarded a third-class comndation at the end of the year. As for Wang Ye, the Chief of Staff made it clear that he would only receive comndations.
Of course, Wang Ye didn’t mind at all.
For him, comndations and third-class comndations didn’t make much difference at this point.
In comparison to this matter, he was actually more grateful that the company-wide summary eting didn’t reveal the specific identities of the casualties he had caused.
This saved Wang Ye from a lot of trouble. When he returned to the company, none of his comrades joked about it either.
If everyone had known that Wang Ye had killed his own company commander and company leader, it would have been hard to avoid being teased by everyone…
“Cold weapons combat is a skill that we reconnaissance soldiers must master.
Look at this dagger…”
An Ping stood next to Wang Ye, holding a dagger and then threw it at a wooden rake about ten ters away.
The throwing knife hit the center of the red target with great precision.
Today marked the tenth day since the end of the confrontation. All the company-wide summaries had been completed for several days, and now the entire company had returned to normal training mode.
Currently, the First Company was training at a cold weapons training ground within the camp.
On one side, so were playing with crossbows, while others were practicing throwing knives.
Wang Ye, on the other hand, was personally learning from An Ping, starting with throwing knives.
“Give it a try-”
An Ping didn’t approach to retrieve his throwing knife, instead, he looked at Wang Ye and gently encouraged him.
“Sure!
Wang Ye imitated An Ping’s posture and threw the dagger he held towards the target.
It had to be said that the hand-eye coordination skills he gained from basic training were indeed helpful. The throwing knife Wang Ye launched hit the bullseye, landing exactly where he had intended.
However, unlike An Ping’s throwing knife that stuck in the target, Wang Ye’s throwing knife hit and bounced off, falling to the ground.
“Haha!”
An Ping burst into laughter, and others like Qi Zhenfei couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Hehe, Wang Ye, pay attention to wrist strength. There’s a technique to throwing knives, and you need to use your wrist to control the rotation angle of the knife!”
Qi Zhenfei grinned.
Finally, they got to see Wang Ye struggle a bit!
It hadn’t been easy, especially considering the training subjects they had gone through previously, not to ntion shooting and physical fitness.
Tasks like rappelling, which was a fundantal skill for reconnaissance soldiers, as well as climbing walls and obstacles, had left Wang Ye feeling sowhat inadequate.
“Are you that good? How about you co and teach!” Before Wang Ye could even respond, An Ping glanced at him with a challenging look.
Instantly, Qi Zhenfei shrunk his neck and quickly started practicing throwing knives on his own.
Wang Ye chuckled but didn’t say anything.
However, with a thought in his mind, Wang Ye successfully activated the throwing knife skill.
“Co on, I’ll continue teaching you!”
“Great!
«
Wang Ye was eager to learn, and he even requested a more detailed explanation.
Because this kind of teaching allowed him to trigger passive learning.
“Damn, this guy’s a freak. Less than half an hour, right? He can hit the bullseye within five ters every ti!”
On the training ground, Qi Zhenfei, holding several throwing knives in his hand, couldn’t help but speak to Luo Yong, who was standing nearby.
Luo Yong took a look and felt a bit intimidated, so he didn’t dare to say much.
Last ti during the confrontation, he had died prematurely, and since coming back, he had been subjected to harsh training.
Take today’s training, for example. While the others had co directly to the training ground, he and the other two deceased soldiers from his class had to run five kiloters and eight kiloters before they could arrive.
As for why there was a difference between five kiloters and eight kiloters, it was determined based on the circumstances of their deaths. In any case, he had to endure an eight-kiloter ard run.
Although he didn’t dare to make many comnts, he still couldn’t help but twitch his eyelids a few tis.
It’s just too insane!
Back then, it took him several days of practice to make the throwing knife stick to the target without falling. It was around three or four days, he recalled. His wrist was nearly worn out.
But look at Wang Ye now.
In less than half an hour, not only did he consistently hit the target within five ters, but he also managed to hit the bullseye each ti. This was different from them, who, after practicing for a few days, could only ensure that the tip of the knife hit the target, but hitting the center was a bit random.
“People are going to die comparing themselves! I won’t compete with him!”
Luo Yong gathered his thoughts, turned around, and ran off. He wasn’t planning to practice throwing knives anymore.
It was too demoralizing. Even when training on the sa stage in a subject, he couldn’t even guarantee hitting the bullseye consistently from five ters away.
In this comparison, he felt like a complete failure.. So, he decided to go play with the crossbow for now!
